What Dean Petrie likes about Big Top Restaurant:
I've been coming here for more than a decadeThis is family breakfast restaurant that specializes in breakfast. It's not fancy here but the food is tasty.I recommend bacon and eggs with homefries(Real Potatoes boiled and fried on a grille ,not deep fried)A gem in the central east part of Hamilton View all feedback. What Emma Andersen doesn't like about Big Top Restaurant:
Food is okay, we go regularly cause it is close and convenient. Will not be going back, saw a cockroach by our table and then was surprised to find one on my leg when I got home View all feedback.

This is a greasy spoon. Nothing fancy but it's delicious no frills food that comforts. The service is fast and friendly. Very affordable and unpretentious.

Plenty of food, for a great price. The atmosphere is aged, and the carpet has seen better days. I live 20-minutes way but I love the food here.

This small neighborhood restaurant serves up 60s style comfort food. The menu is large, but some items may not be available. However, the restaurant is known for its perfectly cooked french fries. The laid-back atmosphere and friendly staff make for a pleasant dining experience. The food is good value for money, with dishes like pancakes that are sure to leave you satisfied. Despite a recent decline in food quality by some standards, the restaurant is beloved by regulars for its nostalgic charm and welcoming atmosphere that has stood the test of time. Overall, a historic gem worth a visit.
