I don't understand the bad ratings. Service was great, food was awesome too. Did a cheeseburger plate and the meat sauce was outstanding. Go. Get a plate. Be happy. read more

Okay so I ordered the Garbage plate which they call the "hot plate" for trademark reasons. I told them to give me the traditional one, The Mac is soooo sweet it's appalling, & it's so boring!! It's a garbage plate but they play it safe. $14 on the menu- without adding anything my total came out to $16. The place is so sterile it's not a comfortable environment 1339. 2 Cheeseburgers Hot Plate read more

Yes, DoorDash. Yes, a late night order that took well over an hour to arrive. Soggy fries covered in the equivalent of cheese whiz and what seemed to be cold, canned chicken. A cold, limp grilled cheese with cold, flavorless baked beans. Busch's canned baked beans would have been better. I stopped eating once I had to pull a giant, long, dark hair from between my teeth. It's not my hair. Never. Again. I've only written one single other one star review thus far in my entire Yelp! Existence. This. Is. Disgusting. I will have the sensation of pulling that long hair from between my teeth in my mind for a long time. First place at which I've literally ever regretted eating. read more

Old Bay french fries with sriracha aioli-check them as terrific! Hofmann red hots garbage plate with two sides, mac salad and salt potatoes, chopped onion/Rochester sauce, French's yellow mustard-double check, terrific-(but could be awesomely terrific is you could get spicy brown mustard!) G/F loved her Hofmann dog with flavorful sauerkraut-big check from her. Adorable setting on a leafy downtown lane, wonderfully clean, warm staff/owner-check all as terrific. On one visit I can only give a 4 star, but if subsequent visits are as good I'll zip it up another star! read more

They have a poster up ranking them in the Top 10 for Drunk College Burgers or something, which I think is pretty spot on. Probably a great stop if you need solid food for when you're already having a great alcohol filled time lol. Chicken tenders were bomb! Burger was mid, I'm not sure why so many burger places seem like they don't salt their food at all but :( It wasn't bad, but wasn't particularly good. Skipppppp the jerk chicken sandwich... Binghamton is probably not the place you want to go to for jerk chicken. Outdoor seating was pleasant (a wasp kept chasing us though). I dropped my soda in fear (the wasp was seriously gunning for my Pepsi) and a member of the staff came out to rinse the sidewalk, apologize for the wasp, and offered me another soda. Customer service was really nice at the counter as well! also pssst @ Hot's, toast the burger buns y'all, it'll be eons better! read more

I love all the food here. The Hot Plate is my favorite. Service is always quick and friendly. The new decor and seating is so attractive. Great for lunch or a quick evening meal. read more

Pretty solid place. I will agree with another reviewer who said things needed salt. Burger and fries both needed salt. Chicken tenders were just so-so. Won't get them again. Double bacon cheese burger was very nice, but again, needed salt. Cheesesteak was really good. Fries were well cooked, but kind of bland. Portions were smaller than other places, but plenty. We'll order here again. read more

This place literally can never get it right. Every time I order a hot plate it never has what I ordered in it. Additionally, the size of the hot plate has got nothing but smaller over the years and you can even get the right order. read more

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. We ordered through Grubhub and the only positive is we got our order within a good timeframe. However, we ordered the attached and received only one coleslaw, one burger missing ranch on the side, another burger missing a pickle, and the jerk chicken was missing lettuce, tomato, and American cheese. Called DoorDash which called the company, who admitted to making a mistake on the jerk chicken and said we didn't order coleslaw for the chicken philly sub, which clearly says it on the attached. Grubhub gave us two options, submit a customer service ticket for a refund (which they look into by calling us and calling the restaurant) or to try and reorder the food (which they contact restaurant again and we risk who knows what happening to our food...no thanks) so now we wait. Screw this place AND Grubhub! Ridiculous. Customer has no leg to stand on. Unbelievable that the restaurant didn't even own up to the mistake. BTW... the food was mediocre. Quick update: we called restaurant directly and they said they'd zero out the order and we can go pick up the food made a 2nd time and they told Grubhub this. However, Grubhub only told us they'd remake the jerk chicken since that's the only one recognized as having an issue. TO BE CONTINUED. read more

Binghamton Hots - Order. - American Near Me - Binghamton, New York

There are quite a few Binghamton Hotties, including Nicole (hi Nicole!), and this restaurant caters to all of them. Not really, though, since if you eat at this place too much, you're kind of going to let yourself go a bit. Grease and meat and such are not very good for one's body, to put it mildly. My experience here was a mixed one. While I enjoyed the garbage-y food, I did think it was a little overpriced and not as good as some of the hots places in Rochester. Nevertheless, I was delighted to find a place open so late in the dead of the night in Binghamton, so this was a good thing. The service was just okay. However, while I was ordering, I'd left my car in a no-park zone, but so had others, and it was 3 in the morning, and someone was watching it (in the passenger seat). Unfortunately, she had fallen asleep, and the lovely friendly cop who was obviously keeping an eye on us, waited for me to leave, then wandered over and gave me a ticket while she was sleeping. She would have gladly moved the car if he'd asked, but then that wouldn't have generated any money for the city, would it. So I'll give the Binghamton Police Department a 1/5 for that little maneuver when I get around to it, but the Hots themselves score a healthy 4. Which corresponds to how many Binghamton girls I've scored in my day. Just kidding. (Way more). read more

I read the review and thought I would give it a try. I didn't read enough to know that once I ordered my cheese steak, fries and beans that the hot plate meant they mixed it all together. It was good though and just what I needed after a few drinks. read more

Binghamton Hots - Can't believe I was the first to post a picture. Lovely staff. Want to try more next trip. Good after drinking food. - American Near Me - Binghamton, New York

Great service. I was greeted warmly as I walked through the door, and the person at the counter was very polite and friendly. It was my first time here. I scanned over the menu, and it seemed to be a pretty typical american menu, phiily cheesesteaks, hot dogs, burgers, fries, etc. I ordered the hot plate with two red hots with 2 x sides of macaroni salad. Five minutes later, they brought the food to my table. I thought it would just be two hot dogs with macaroni on the side. Surprise!!! It was an amalgamation of two hot dogs, layered on top of the macaroni salad, covered with some spicy ground beef stuff and mustard on top. It also came with a single slice of bread on the side. Apparently, they brought this unique style of food from its origins in Rochester, NY. It tasted pretty decent, but it's not something that I would ever crave. Someone came over in the middle of my meal, and asked me how my meal tasted. Great service again. Looking at the pictures on their Facebook page, they have some really yummy looking dishes. They offer more than just the hot plates. I'll have to stop by again and give it a second look sometime. If you're in the area, it's a decent place to get a meal. I hear they're open very late and is a popular stop for the drunk BU students. read more

I am here checking out restaurant week. Excited for the food and prices! $12 I got the butternut squash bisque, 3 slider sampler, and the apple crisp. Sounds amazing right?! The squash bisque was delicious! It was so well puréed and flavored. It wasn't overly salted and it was very enjoyable and tasted fresh. Next were the sliders, which ended up being too much for me but the one slider I had was very tender and cooked well. There were 2 other sliders with different cheeses and sauces that I can't wait to finish tonight at dinner. I expect those to be well cooked and flavored just as well as the one I did have. The fries could use some work. One it was overly oily and usually I can handle oily if the fries were actually crunchy. These were just soaked in oil and soggy. Unappetizing, but not overly salted and they give the client the choice if they want to salt more or not. Improve the fries and they've got a well rounded joint! Next was dessert which was very disappointing. The apple crisp was just apples with granola on top and whipped cream. Would have liked a bigger effort, but I did appreciate that it was not overtly sweet. Still unfortunate that they would give a dessert with such little creativity for restaurant week. The venue itself was down a very cute side street. It is one way and you have to pay for parking. 50 cents for an hour, so not pricey. Easy to locate because they have a sign above the door as well as a sign out front to catch people's attention. Service was quick. You go in, order and then they bring the food out to you, so more fast food style ordering. Everything was clean, small, and quaint. read more

This place is complete ass. I came after the bars and it was awful even when I was hammered. Don't waste your money on this overpriced garbage you're better off buying pizza rolls. It took 15 minutes to get Tostitos with microwaved cheese on them. Hots, are u fucking kidding me? I could've been home enjoying a fresh batch of bagel bites or some Shit but instead I was stuck waiting inside your crowded restaurant of drunk kids. And to top it off I had to pay for fucking water. Get the fuck out of here hots you're making me pay for freezer food and water and wait over 15 minutes absolutely never again fuck you. read more

quesadilla chicken tastes like diner seasoned chicken HOWEVER this place hits when I'm stoned asf only go high

My boyfriend and I came here for a little date. Neither of us had been here before. It was amazing! It was fast, food was amazing, clean and the workers were kind! We will definitely be back!!! The only issue was parking but that happens a lot in downtown and that's not the fault of the restaurant so I can't complain! read more

They have pretty good drunk food. Literally my pit stop after dages. Only issue is, they literally won't let you buy beer if youre not from NY. Like will actually refuse to even if your ID is real read more

This is a place you attend strictly for the late night drunk food. I've had Binghamton Hots menu items both sober and drunk and I honestly haven't enjoyed them either way. I'm from Rochester so I don't even dare touch any other city's version of a "Garbage Plate". Besides that I find that most of their food doesn't taste fresh, isn't too great in flavor, and most importantly is overpriced. The mac salad, and cole slaw taste like they're store bought from Price Rite. $8 for Chicken Fingers, $6 for a hotdog? I don't get it. I could never soberly pay that much for those items or anything else they offer on their menu. I've gone several times during regular hours and things I've ordred haven't been available for one reason or another (do they ever keep a kitchen fully stocked?) All that being said, the only time to get food here (literally the only time) is during restaurant week for lunch. They have a great deal for a 3-course meal. Other than that, there's really no reason to eat her. Go anywhere else in downtown Binghamton (even Zona's) and I promise you'll get better service and food. read more

One of the things I miss from my decades in Rochester are "Plates." The Garbage Plate™, invented by Nick Tahou early last century, is a delicious mishmash of macaroni salad, home fries and/or baked beans, topped by your favorite fast food meat (usually hot dogs or hamburgers) and slathered with a cinnamon-and-meat flavored hot sauce. It sounds awful, but it's soooo good. Imitations (or as I prefer to call them, "tributes") are at joints all over Rochester, but alas, they were nonexistent in Binghamton. Until now. The plate I had at Binghamton Hots was darn good. I had a cheeseburger plate with mac salad and home fries, topped with onions, mustard and hot sauce. Mmmmmm. I was bloated and useless the rest of the day, but it was worth it. Next time I'll try a spiedie plate - mixing the best of my old home and my new. read more

Let's be honest you aren't coming here for dinner. You're coming here cause your drunk and hungry. With that in mind I ordered a hots plate last night. It took quite a while to make and the portions were small. Additionally, one patron was in handcuffs outside when I walk in the door. In short good food, long wait, small portions, 2 stars read more

I've been in here once before and the food was pretty decent - granted its downtown and it was at 4am so we all know the condition I was in. However - the four stars comes from the customer services. I was here for parade day and they told us they were full out of food. However, the cook came out from the back and said here's our last batch of fries, sorry for the inconvenience and gave it to us on the house - three full styrofoam containers (the big ones) full of fries. That's service and that's worthy of multiple return trips in my book for sure! read more

Bing hots is probably the only late night eats around Binghamton. Their prices are relatively cheap for the amount of food you get. Skip the coffee, it's never good. But definitely try the hot plate if you're in town. Also, avoid the late night scene during the weekend if you're a newcomer, the drunk college kids will probably scare you off when school is in session read more

Really enjoy this place, and that's not from a drunk late night point of view. My office orders lunch here every now and then and it's a decent place to add in our rotation. Usually we get salads - the chicken pear pecan bleu cheese one is quite good, with a large serving of chicken. I've also had the buffalo chicken salad which was decent, and the Greek special burger that is very good. The wraps are also yummy and it's nice they come with a side which makes it a better deal than other downtown lunch options. The only drunk food I've had are the fries which are the kind I like with the crunchy coating, and are very good. The only downside is that sometimes they forget things if you get takeout. I've had salads without dressing, and wraps without the correct ingredients requested (I HATE Wasabi!) so I'd definitely suggest checking your order before you leave. Service has always been great - quick and with a smile! read more

When I heard they were opening a hotplate place in Binghamton I was beyond excited, and I have to say Binghamton Hots does an excellent plate with a great variety of meat choices and sides. You dont have to come here for just a g-plate though, they have a good few other items on the menu. I especially have enjoyed their buffalo chicken salad which they cook over a flame grill to have a great grill taste. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quick but great lunch or dinner. read more

I went in and ordered "vegan chicken tenders," seeing as how it was a new item on the menu. I waited for my food, and was excited to get my food. The only problem was that I had received actual chicken tenders instead of their vegan substitute. Up until this, I have always had positive experiences. read more

It could have been better. The double burger was on the smaller side. The hostess did tell us that it was a 3oz patty. I thought each patty was 3oz but it looked more like the total of the two patties were 3oz. The salt potatoes were sad... They should take them off the menu, and replace them with a butter and herb style of potato. For their salt potatoes had no salty flavor (even with add salt form a salt shaker). They tasted like boiled potatoes in liquid margarine. Very disappointing. a Side from that flavor let down, everything else was good tasting. I will say the French fries were spot on. read more

If it was possible for a negative rating, this shithole would have earned it. Wanted to order chicken tenders but they were out...no problem. I proceeded to order a Philly cheese steak. Instead I was handed what appeared to be dog shit over mashed potatoes with no hero, only a single slice of wonder bread wrapped in Saran Wrap...not even enough to make a god damn sandwich. Absolute joke of an establishment. Might as well have chopped off my foot and deep fried it and it probably would've left me more satisfied read more

After waiting 30 minutes for my order, not only did they give my food away to someone else, they didn't bother to tell me until after I asked where my food was. Finally, I got my chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes after 40 minutes. I failed to realize in the place that they gave me a quarter of a small container of mashed potatoes.... NOT EVEN A FULL ORDER. Never ever going back and it wasn't even busy! read more

So bad. I should have taken a picture of it it looked like someone shit in a styrofoam container. Do not go here.

Stopped in after a nice night on the town, B-Mets game and Water Street Brewery (highly recommended), for a late night bite. My wife works downtown and this is (was) one of her regular lunch spots. Since it was well before the bars empty out, the place was quiet, only about a half dozen customers, no evidence of rowdiness. As the 4 of us walked in and approached the counter, my son's girlfriend decided to make a stop in the bathroom. At this point we were greeted by the counter staff yelling (and I mean YELLING) that THE BATHROOM WAS FOR PAYING CUSTOMERS ONLY! After exiting the bathroom she was again yelled at to LOCK THE DOOR! Really, is this an acceptable way to greet your customers? After confronting the counter staff and complaining about being greeted in this manner, they explained that they've had issues with drunken BU students trashing the bathroom. I was then offered a free compensatory brownie, which I refused. I expect to be treated with respect, not offered free brownies. So maybe this is an acceptable way to greet drunken BU students who are there to trash your bathroom, but I can't say that I've ever walked into a business to be treated so disrespectfully, even when I was a drunken BU student. In my opinion, if you're going to stay open late and cater to drunken BU students, even they deserve to be treated with respect. Until they trash your bathroom. And maybe that's why they trashed your bathroom. You made me want to trash your bathroom. And if you're going to have a policy of profiling your customers, at least hire employees with enough intelligence to be able to distinguish between drunken BU students stumbling in to trash the bathroom and middle-aged customers who are there to patronize your business. Needless to say, I walked out without ordering (or trashing the bathroom) and that will have been our last visit to this establishment. We make it a point to try and patronize local businesses and there are plenty of other local establishments that know how to treat their customers respectfully. Next time, we'll just go to Wendys. The food may suck but at least we'll get some respect. read more

Do not order from here. they are extremely expensive and gave me 7 fries with my disgusting chicken tenders. wastin my damn money here

Decent food but almost criminally small portions. I know that the primary clientele is drunk college kids, so some sort of price gouging is to be expected, but for your 10 American dollars you get 2 chicken fingers and fries. That is blatant and despicable. Would not recommend. read more

I was skeptical at first, but after my first meal I was very impressed. They have great service and a fairly extensive menu. Most of the food is typical wraps, subs, and burgers but they do the "typical" well. Many dishes are a classic with a twist. I have yet to have a meal here that I didn't like. Their daily lunch specials are always something to look forward to. Not to mention they support local and are a member of Communikey. read more
