Valerie developed her own beer batter, and they have $2 off the fish fry during Friday happy hour this time of year!Also, the dance nights are some of the best I've found. But whatever you're into, Hot Mama's probably has a night for it, karaoke, trivia, pool, sports, etc. Those are just my favorites.

Got the fish fry I called my order in 30 minutes prior and I arrived and it wasn’t going to be ready for another 10-15 which is a long time for fried food … the sides were great the fish fry extremely disappointed by it although large in size it was overdone supper thick dry beer batter 0 flavor … gave it a 3 because the sides were good. Paid $27 for something that was maybe worth 15. Staff was friendly though which is cool !

My husband was feeling snackish after an impromptu visit to the Merry Shelley last weekend but wanted something more substantial than their small bites so we came here. We didn't have to drive far to find parking but it might be a longer hike on busier nights. The establishment is bigger than the Merry Shelley and Revolution Gallery (the three have a lot of joint events complete with shuttle service, but we haven't been to one). Plenty of space and seats. My husband tried their in house mango BBQ sauce, but it packed too much of a punch so he went with a burger he really enjoyed. They have a full bar. Our cocktails were great. Service is friendly. We'll be back. The darkwave nights in particular caught my husband's attention.

Straight-forward drinks, amazing bartenders and servers, surprisingly delicious food. Me and my friends come here Thursdays for trivia and we never have a bad time.

Their Monday karaoke caters to the college kids and the old regulars. Also, I'm all for having service animals allowed in an establishment, but allowing a dog to sit on a stool at the bar with a water bowl on the bar makes me question their sanitation practices.

Not sure how it took me so long to try their food! But I’m sure glad I finally did!I went in Hot Mama’s Canteen on a Saturday night around 11pm. The kitchen was still open , however there was an event happening so there was a woman charging $5 at the door. Our group of 3 were only there for food, we explained this to the woman and she still said we would have to pay the cover fee. So we left, called and ordered take out. I was hoping to enjoy the food there for my first time but everything turned out great anyways.We ordered a Big Daddy Cuban, 2 Mama Bombs, 20 Sophia Loren Wings, and Deep Fried Fire Pickles. (All came as suggestions from my friend)Let me tell you… everything was amazing!!!The Cuban was so delicious! I loved the addition of spam on this sandwich.The Sophia Loren Wings are sooo damn good!! Crispy, crunchy, garlicky, and just the perfect amount of heat!! Definitely a must try!The Deep Fried Fire Pickles were very tasty! I am a pickle lover and these were great. The dipping sauce pairs perfectly. The batter was crispy, the pickle spear had a nice crunch, however I didn’t get much of any heat. I did love them though.The Mama Bombs were interesting but tasty… the outside was great, and the meatball was very flavorful. The only thing was we were missing the red sauce that should have came with it. I’m sure the sauce would have been just what the dish needed.Can’t wait to go back!Also, when we went to pick up our food the lady at the door that was charging the $5 cover apologized for trying to charge us and she seemed genuine and very apologetic for the misunderstanding.

Coolest hangout with chill staff and they make their own hot sauces. The vegetarian burrito has flavorful greens and lots of cheese and remains a delicious relic in my mind several days later.

We go for the Dark Wave video dance nights once a month, and have a good time.We'd have a better time if they offered more than a single bottle of Gin, which is not to our liking.
