Turtle Jack's-Hamilton offers hearty portions and a lively atmosphere, making it "a very nice place to take our family." Diners rave about the "fantastic service" from staff, especially Pascal and Sarah. While some note pricing concerns, the "food is always good," with highlights including the power bowl, turkey & goat cheese naan, and "the best wings in Ontario!"

    I had the GF burger bowl, one of my favourites. The lettuce/salad was swimming in dressing but otherwise everything was tasty. Good portion sizes. Overall my companions and I enjoyed our experience.

    Really good food and competitive prices. Service was great, except was a little slow at the beginning of our meal. We chalked it up to our server needing to check out a number of her tables simultaneously at the exact time we arrived . Service picked up after that was completed. It was a little loud, but that’s probably to be expected on a busy Saturday night. Lots of room around our table of 6, with very nice surroundings. Overall, a very nice place to take our family who was visiting from up north and had never been to a Turtle Jacks before. Thanks!

    I find the atmosphere very nice, the food is good but the price is encroaching on a high price restaurant which Turtle Jacks isn't. Lower the prices!.

    Great visit tonight! Our server, Pascal (sorry if I spelled your name wrong!) was fantastic. Came to say hi promptly and take our drink orders, which were delivered quickly. Her timing throughout the whole meal was great, from checking in to see how everything was, to clearing, to bringing takeaway boxes. Food was very good. I had the turkey & goat cheese naan, my friend had the blackened chicken on naan, my other friend had the chicken fajitas. Very generous portions! We all have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. We will be back!

    Ordered a 10oz steak med rare, came out looking rare. Steak had so much gristle in it that it was unedible. My wife's ribs that she ordered were really dry and was hard to eat. Our server was nice on the other hand. For the price point of this restaurant I was expecting better quality and service.
