Festival Café

This place was pretty cool. Came in at 9 pm and got a poutine. Honestly above average. Crispy fries, decent gravy and real curds. Prices were reasonable. Can't talk about the chicken. But if the poutine is any indication it should be good. Staff were friendly enough. Place is cute. Bathroom was clean. Definitely worth a try if you're nearby!

Bacon poutine was delicious! Lots of bacon bits and cheese curds ❤ I ordered it with 3 chicken tenders and unfortunately, that was the WORST chicken ive ever had in my life. What went wrong? They wouldn't even pull apart, it was like rubber. It was so tough and chewy. I wonder if I got a bad batch? I would honestly want to take them back because its a shame my hard earned money went towards something inedible.. I couldn't eat it, it so rubbery. But yeah, poutine was always good. Its very convenient coming here as I live nearby, Im pretty sad about the chicken bwcause this place isnt cheap..

I saw a sign that stated "Hamilton's best Burger!" LIES! It was pathetic. A flavorless patty so thin it was see threw at parts. I measure it at 1 centimeter thick burger, again it was "Pathetic". Add a slice of over priced Slice of cheese and slob on two honks of lettuce and call that a burger. I took one bite, and left the burger on the table to shame the cheff. I can see the takes little to no love in his craft. Shame on your restaurant for "scamming me" into even trying that pathetic "burger" and it's time to take down that sign that claims at one point in 2021 you made a good burger. Very much "False Advertising" "DO NOT ORDER THE BURGER!" Garbage. It's actually cheaper to order a "Double quarter pounder at McDonald's ,or a Dave's Triple at Wendy's, or a Double original at Harvies. Spend your money elsewhere trust me.

Stoped in for a pre meal before the GreyCup. Small but the food is really good, I want to come back and try some other dishes. I had the broaster chicken with fries is the bomb!!! and my buddy had the loaded poutine. Neither of us could finish our dishes as the portions are plenty. HOOTS

Excellent customer service and very clean restaurant. Loads of varieties of yummy dessert and food. We ordered the strawberry funnel cake and mixed berry funnel cake. Absolutely delicious and will go back to try different items again. Fun carnival food without going to a carnival.

The fried chicken was moist and juicy with a thin, crispy, melt-in-your-mouth batter and the waffle was soft and fluffy - a fan-taste-ic first chicken and waffles experience. Our supper was so good that we went back after the ticat game to try the funnel cakes and Dole fruit. Everything was amazing and the staff was super friendly - will definitely be back again!

This restaurant brought us back to the feeling of being at a carnival, the sites and smells are great! The chicken was so moist and the corndog was cooked to perfection. The best place to get a funnel cake with toppings on the side so it’s doesn’t get all soggy. Will go back to try the burgers! The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful.

My first time eating here and I’m impressed. It was a takeout order. Good value, great customer service and excellent portions. Fantastic customer service. Their process makes it near impossible to mess up your order. I bought an Oreo funnel cake with ice cream. It’s delicious. The cake was warm and had a great soft but crisp texture. The ice cream was packed separately so it wouldn’t melt and was an excellent size. It also came with a lot of powdered sugar. I also got a single smash burger. A great simple burger for a good price (roughly $7). And I got a two piece chicken meal. Also great value with a ton of fries. The chicken was great. Crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The fries are smaller, but were a bit dry. Total order was roughly $34 (the funnel cake was roughly $15).
