However, it's definitely worth it for the delicious food you'll be enjoying. North Shore has truly impressed me with the hidden culinary gems on this side of the lake, and Hambone has become the highlight of our brunch adventures with my group of eight friends. We gladly make the drive across the Causeway knowing it will end with satisfied appetites and cherished memories at Hambone. As for accessibility, there’s a ramp leading up to the building, although there is a gravel seating area outside that requires some navigation. For those with dietary restrictions, there are plenty of vegetarian options, and the staff has been great at explaining the ingredients to ensure there are no surprises when your food arrives.

On top of that we waited over an hour for our food to arrive. When it finally did come the waitress said that our wait was because of an 8 top that came in right before us. As if somehow that would make our wait acceptable. My husband’s food was stone cold. We didn’t send it back because we were worried about how long it would take to fix the situation. We’ve dined here before and had a great experience…this one just wasn’t. Granted it was Father’s Day so it was busy….but they were seating too many people for how backed up the kitchen was.

The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it is sooooo uncomfortably hot inside the building.....they need fans in the rooms or maybe window units. Sweating while eating wasn't fun.Food: 5/5

I had lunch there, and the service was decent. The atmosphere was also nice, but overall, I wasn’t very impressed. Price per person was around $10-$20. Ratings: Food: 3, Service: 4, Atmosphere: 3.
