This new concept is so appealing! Its now a place to hang before and after your food. I had the fried chicken and chips with garlic sauce. I know it may be hard to go wrong with these yummy things but they were delicious of course and I loved the new atmosphere. Will absolutely be coming back!!!

My wife and I were really excited to try this place because we used to frequent Ice House. We saw the reviews, but didn't want them to be true. If this place goes under, its gonna be because the poor kids working there have no clue of what they're doing. I ordered the hot chicken sandwich and was brought the wrong food twice. The first time they brought chicken tenders. The second time they brought the wrong sandwich. I asked the young lady who brought the food if this was the hot chicken sandwich and she said "I don't know. There were 2 sandwiches back there and I just brought the one for this ticket." I bit into it and sure enough it was the wrong one. Not only that, but the chicken had 0 seasoning and the batter wasn't fried all the way which made for a really gooey mushy mess. I don't like sending food back and our server was very lost and frazzled already and I didn't want to make things worse for her. So I just cut my losses and trashed the sandwich. Cmon guys...fry your batter, season your chicken, and know what you are bringing to your tables.

I met my teen daughter and her friend at Hot Mess on opening day. The restaurant is refreshingly eclectic with a fun vibe. I saw lots of patrons taking photos. My daughter and I built our own bowls and her friend had a burger and fries. We also had a basket of the Street Taco fries. Friend had a perfect burger right to his specifications. Both the burger and fries were delivered perfectly hot. The Street Taco spice with the fries was yummy. Our bowls were ah-mazing. I was happy to see the spicy green sauce is still around. The charred broccoli was SO good. I can't wait to go back.

This place is appropriately named as it is A HOT MESS An early lunch(11:15am) and the wait began when we walked in the door! The place opened at 11:00am and the ONLY counter person was taking a phone order. I lost count of the number of times she told us shed be with us in a minute. Ice was not readily available. One had to ask for that. Salt & pepper were not on the table. We were told, as our food was FINALLY delivered to the table, we could go up front and ask for it, they had it there and no, I cant bring it to you. The food was mediocre at best and Im being generous here! Dry, flavorless, uninspired and pricy for what it was. When our party was approached by a staff member inquiring of our experience, we shared our truth with kindness. Every excuse in the book was offered: short staffed, just opened, roadblocks with equipment installation, scope of employee duties(delivery of salt and pepper NOT among them), etcwe heard it ALL! None of that should be the guests problem! Lots of luck to you Hot Mess! Youre going to need it. Four who gave you our $$$$ and a try today will not be back.

Ate there yesterday. And honestly not impressed. We both had a salad and I am only speaking for myself. First let me say that all the vegetables in my salad were fresh, got to give you that. But, my salad was just bland and boring. The fried chicken had absolutely no flavor, or seasoning. I rarely use salt on anything and cook with it sparingly. I continually had to add both salt and pepper to be able to eat it, the dressing was herb ranch. Not very flavorful. I am also not a big fan of getting my water from a container in the dining room. No ice was available to fill my glass with. There was ice in the container but not available to us. Plus I didnt like seeing the container being filled with a bucket. Unfortunately I am a one and done person, sorry Hot Mess.
