One of the memories I share with friends is that during the pandemic, I was desperate for Rony’s that I ate his food outside so happily, despite the weather, hoping that he might one day open up a location closer to me. Since Rony’s on Upper James opened, I have been thrilled to go. I’ve also been excited to bring friends from outside Hamilton, especially since the Upper James location is open on Saturdays! Since they opened, I’ve now been repeatedly. You have the same excellent food. A focused menu yields delicious results, and Rony always cooks with integrity, putting his best foot forward. I’m incredibly fond of the Chicken Platter with its perfectly-cooked morsels of chicken, savoury rice, and wonderful tabbouleh. Also his fries are to die for - golden and crisp - I love sharing a pile with friends at the table. I love supporting local businesses, but when it’s this good, everyone wants to back a winner.

Late posting this but… I’ve frequented the Grays rd location (reviewed it) for awhile before the upper James locations opened. But once It did I had to go check it out! The quality, taste, staff and atmosphere are great at both places! Mirrored in every way! I love the Ronys special w/ extra chicken and it is still my favourite go to! I always recommend Ronys!

Ordered the chicken with two sides. Paid extra for fries. Fries were a little salty but wouldn’t say bad. I asked for hot sauce I guess they forgot to put it because maybe with the hot sauce it could had taste better. I got hummus, fries and chicken with rice. It was okay but not the best. The portion size was not a lot very less. I wouldn’t say it’s bad but wouldn’t say it’s good either. So for me it’s a 2 star will I come back don’t think so.

Had the chicken plate and it was delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked and marinated. The fries were also phenomenal. Rony was there himself when I visited and he was helpful with his recommendations. Happy to see a local business doing great.

We have enjoyed Rony’s Green Road Stoney Creek location for years. We had lunch at Rony’s and were treated to nicely prepared and tasty dishes at the Upper James location. The charcoal barbecued chicken is a real treat. The portions are good size and value. The staff are attentive.

I ordered the Romano Salad. It came quickly, and it was delicious. There isn't much to the salad, it's just mixed greens, but the dressing is slightly sweet and very tasty. I feel like there was more actual chicken than there was salad so it was worth the price.

I wish I knew about this place sooner! The Chicken and Rice is phenomenal! The prices are too good to be true (they’re true!!) Never tasted anything quite like this! They perfected charcoal chicken, and that yogurt sauce is to die for! The hot sauce brings the heat so you better be ready! The staff are so kind, the owner is such a cool guy, this is how all restaurants should be like. Ronys is our new favourite spot on Upper James!

Terrific new location for Rony's on Upper James. Our kid's request for shawarma combined with my partner staying on top of new restaurants brought us to Rony's for dinner. I'm very glad of it! Each of us had the chicken plate with various sides, french fries, salad, and hummus. All were delicious, and the portions were generous enough for some leftovers. I think they are doing a good job of providing reasonable portions for a reasonable price considering the inflation in food costs of late. Friendly staff at this new location! There was lots of space to dine in, and it was a pleasant surprise that in a restaurant geared to take out, the dine-in dishes are real plates with real silverware. All in all, a great first impression was created by the food and the staff. Looking forward to a return visit.
