About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Ever since our great Aunt Bebe starting selling hamburgers and beer on her back porch during Prohibition, Hackney's has been making people happy!

Today we're famous for our big juicy Hackneyburgers on Hackney's Dark Rye® and our one-of-a-kind Hackney';s Original French Fried Onions®. Prohibition may be over, but our beer selling days are not. Hackney's has an ever-changing list of tap beers along with a full-service bar that can whip up any cocktail you can think of.

    As always, Hackneys is THE place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! We had a great dinner, the reception staff and our waiter were excellent and we loved the atmosphere. A staple in our family for many years.

    Had a fun night celebrating St Patricks Day! It was very busy, but the service was great and our food came out quickly. The corned beef dinner and hamburgers were delicious!

    Server wasn’t overly friendly. Didn’t offer anything for my kids, drink wise, etc. They had NO options for kids, it was so strange! Hackney burger was truly a burger patty in-between two giant pieces of rye bread. Lettuce, small tom, onion on the side. For $19?! Rueben rolls were cold. Food was not good for the price. We asked for two slices of pie to go, and the server didn’t seem happy. We normally love it here but for St Patty’s weekend, major disappointment! We did love the bag pipers though, that was amazing!

    Taking into account that St. Patrick’s Day weekend is a busy time at Hackney’s there is NO excuse why waited over an hour for any food. While we were waiting, we saw other tables that were seated AFTER us get what appeared to be the exact same food we ordered. When our appetizer finally arrived, we expressed our displeasure with the service and the “manager” immediately offered to comp our meal. It was an unfortunate experience at one of our favorite restaurants.
