MOMO Bar Hamilton (Formerly Junk Yard)

Great food, friendly service. And the pub quiz has been a right laugh. Definitely a a new mid week night out.

Booked at table for Half 6 for 4 people. Never got our ordered taken until 7.10 ordered 3 waters, cola, pint and 2 cocktails. The cocktails never appeared after being told they were just getting made. Around 50 minutes later I went to the bar and told them we didn’t receive our cocktails yet and the girl didn’t even know we had ordered them, she said they’d be there soon. She then appeared at the table and told us the cocktails were taken off the bill but would we will a drink on the house.. I asked her why didn’t bring the cocktails out and she couldn’t answer me. At this point the food had just came out 1hour later. Chips on all meals freezing and hard. One burger was wrong so set it back and then it was wrong a second time.we then got told they were short staffed. I feel bad for the girls working behind the bar as I know it personally wasn’t their fault but they should have told people when turning up oh it’s going too be a long wait for food as we are short in the kitchen to then allow customers to decide if they want to stay or not. Overall very disappointing visit.

Please note that the photographs in this review show the old menu. Unfortunately, since The Junkyard has changed ownership, it has lost much of the charm and character that once made it a standout. The place isn’t just lacking in quality anymore. It’s the entire vibe, identity, and atmosphere that have taken a dive. Under the previous ownership, The Junkyard felt like a true gem. The owner’s genuine passion for craft beer and the unique menu helped create a space with a real sense of identity. One of the key aspects of that identity was the varied Crackbird chicken range, which has now been reduced to a single item on the menu. The new menu feels like a shadow of what it once was, confused and directionless, unsure whether it wants to be an Asian restaurant or a Western pub. To make matters worse, their website still shows the old menu, and there has been no update or acknowledgment of the changes. I can’t find any mention anywhere of The Junkyard having changed ownership, nor have I seen any indication that they intend to turn it into an Asian restaurant. This lack of transparency and communication from the new owners leads me to believe they are not interested in keeping customers informed or maintaining the vibe that made The Junkyard special. What made The Junkyard special, the character, the vibe, the overall experience, has been lost. Unfortunately, what The Junkyard once represented no longer exists.

4 of us were in for dinner tonight, waited roughly an hour or more for our food, which was burnt and cold, and one order had to be sent back, staff then had to be told that they sent the wrong item out again! We ordered 2 cocktails that never showed up to the table, which to be fair did get taken off the bill and a free drink was offered. place was severely under staffed with only 1 girl running around doing everything but the place was hardly jumping, would say it was roughly 3-4 tables that had only ordered food but more staff would have helped out a bit more. it’s sad to see as junkyard was a great place before the new ownership,

Good food at a good price got a burger it was very nice for the price eaten in here a few times and it is always nice

We visited tonight, very poor service, took forever to get our order, our drinks and then our food, the portions are extremely small, the trio of burgers very underwhelming, a small cup of chips. The Mac and cheese balls very greasy, the vimto cocktail had no sign of vimto at all, the lemon bon bon wasn't too bad, the waiter spilled my pint over my arm and my mobile, we also had a dog sat beside us you should be asking or informing customer due to allergens! We also did not get asked how our meals was. The waiter needs more attention to detail and customer service as it was non existent. I wouldn't be back!

Momos is charming and intimate restaurant and cocktail bar that exudes warmth and character. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cosy and refined, offering a delightful setting for a relaxed meal or evening drink. My visit began with the soup of the day — a vibrant, freshly-prepared tomato soup crafted by chef Adam. Delicately infused with basil and a well-judged blend of seasoning, it was a flavourful and comforting start. This was followed by a BBQ and bacon burger, served with a tasteful garnish. The beef was clearly fresh, expertly seasoned, and complemented by a buttery, crisp seeded bun that added just the right amount of texture. To finish, I indulged in an Oreo sundae, served in a beautifully presented cocktail glass — a playful and satisfying end to the meal that left me content. Price was very agreeable too. The service was another delight. Drinks were served promptly and with genuine warmth by Rebecca, whose attentiveness and friendly nature elevated the experience. Rebecca is a treasure to the customer service of the business. In all, this hidden gem in Hamilton is a welcoming escape with quality food, great service, and a laid-back atmosphere. Highly recommended.

10/10 is all i can say. JUNKYRD was our local for ages. We were gutted to see it close but reopening as MOMO and it has has a brand new feel but with the same vibe To be honest the main reason we wanted to return was due to Michael, the bar manager. It's refreshing to have a local barman with a chatty, happy presence. He is passionate about his job and recognises all his local regulars. His customer service is above and beyond. He brings te banter, charisma and vibe you need to make you want to stay longer and return time and again. We solely chose to return due to his exceptional service. He is happy to take music requests,makes a fine cocktail and goes above and beyond Food is delicious, same great vibe, DJ, music is great. Would happily sit there all night. We will definitely be back. Very happy for the reopen and back to our regular.
