"I think the nostalgia surrounding this place contributes to its positive reviews. I want to emphasize that my opinions are entirely my own. That said, I can get the same footlong sandwich at Sonic. My wife really enjoys this place, but I prefer to eat elsewhere when she goes there. To be honest, I don't find the food to be good. I recognize that it's a traditional establishment and a landmark in Hamilton, but this is just my perspective. If you enjoy it, that's great, but it doesn't work for me. And as for the root beer? I don't get what all the excitement is about."
