    Tenders
    Meri L.

    I've been looking for a place that was just as delicious as the place I had hot chicken in Nashville. The Mac and cheese was just okay. Needed some oomph. Fries were decent. Not the best, but definitely not the worst I've had. I picked "medium" for my chicken tenders. It was not hot or spicy at all. It was honestly quite bland in spice level, but there was some type of seasoning. After I was about to take the last bite of my first tender, there was a small grey hair cooked into the tender. I completely lost my appetite.

    Classic chicken sandwich
    Kendra C.

    Very excited to try their hot chicken of course. Ordered the classic hot chicken, medium spice level, with fries. Fries had cajun seasonings on it. The spice of the chicken is dry rub not sauce. The medium was not spicy at all. The kick came more from the sauce they put on it but it was pretty mild. The chicken was very good and juicy on the inside; just not spicy. Loved the fries. Ordered a side of mac and cheese which was good. Would go back to try a hotter spice level; wish they had a sauce option. Service was good. They have indoor and outdoor seats. Drive thru pickup. Not sure if you can order.

    Comeback Sauce is AMAZING!!

    10 out of 10!!!! Unplanned, we drove past and took a shot at this little gem and we are thrilled that we did! Ordered the chicken sandwich, home style, and WOW!!! Crispy but surprisingly juicy and tender on the inside! Talk about Flavor Town, where is Guy Fieri?! Fries are excellent as are the Mac and cheese and the corn nuggets sides! Extra bonus was the warm and friendly smiles that greet you! These guys are great! Adorably fun decor! Will certainly be back and telling all who will listen!

    Food = delish & freshly made Service = quick & friendly Ambiance = low key & fun. Definitely a higher level than fast food but still relaxed! 4 of us 2 adults 2 teens ALL LOVED our food. Med Chicken & waffles Med Chicken tender Med Chicken snack wrap HOT Chicken Sandwich The sweet tea is amazing too ! We'll definitely be back Advice? 2 tenders are probably enough their like mini chicken breasts!

    First time trying hotchickenmama and I'm a fan I ordered a hot snack wrap w/ fries and a lavender lemonade The chicken was flavorful and crunchy I order the hot variation, but they have a range in their heat level... the hot was perfect for me spicy and still delicious. Server's were helpful and patient with me. Clean restaurant would be a perfect place to sit for lunch with someone

    Mini holler fries
    Kathryn K.

    Pretty good honestly. We randomly stopped by based on yelp reviews. I personally had the mini holler fries with 3 nuggets. I really enjoyed the fries and their house sauce. I got the medium spice which was truly medium yay. But it felt like there was a powdery thickness that took away from enjoying it completely. Idk texture doesn't normally bug me but this did. Would still come back to try again. I don't live smaller menus. It means they can really do things right. Give it a try if you're around there. Love the decor too

    Grease stained bag

    If you want the tl:dr there is something wrong when the fries are the best part of a place called Hot Chicken Mama. Ok so based on previous reviews, I was prepared to be disappointed but somehow I am more disappointed than I thought I would be. Let me start off by saying that none of the food was BAD per se. That's actually inaccurate, the cabbage on top of the chicken sando was bad but since it was a slight part of the whole experience, I won't dock them for the cabbage totally. Starting off, when I walked in there were about 8 people behind the counter and no one was like "hey welcome!" The music that was playing was definitely not family friendly and if I had my child with me I would have most certainly asked why it was playing. The spot where the cash register is oddly enough it not where you pick up your food so after waiting behind someone that young man behind the counter just pointed to say I pick up "over there" and walked away. Great start. I ordered chicken nuggets (medium) and a chicken sando (hot) with fries. Get the food home and take out the chicken nuggets and the bag is soaked through with grease. So much so that the box the chicken sando came in was also smeared with grease on top. And the strangest part of all is the chicken nuggets themselves were dry AF so WHERE DID ALL THE GREASE COME FROM?! The nuggets, while unappetizing in appearance and not even close to being hot, tasted alright. (Side note: I think the reason my food was ready in ten minutes from the time I called is because it had been sitting around which like ok, it's 7 pm, I get it but could you maybe heat it up so it's hot? It is my dinner, after all) Tried the comeback sauce, but it did not really taste like anything. Moving on to the sando and fries. The fries were great and they had a light sprinkling of seasoning which kind of tasted like whatever they sprinkle on BBQ potato chips. I can't be positive but I would hazard a guess that the fries are frozen because they are perfect crinkle cut and uniform in size. Easily the best part of the meal but frozen fries with seasoning I can make in my air fryer. The sando itself is 2 chicken tenders with slaw, pickles, and some type of sauce on a bun. The bun was falling apart, probably because it was not hefty enough to contain the sando which made a messy sandwich messier. The chicken was appropriate spice level for hot and was thankfully warmer than the nuggets. The issue that I had was that the slaw actually ruined the taste of the sando to the point that I did not even finish it. Pretty disappointing all in all. They sell quarter and half chickens and I would be curious to see what they look like but based on my experience I most certainly don't want to spend money. Perhaps another Yelper will upload a photo and I can live vicariously through them.

    Sandwich

    Hot chicken mama tastes so good, makes you want to slap your momma HAHA! They have something for everyone and their chicken is delicious with the right amount of kick! Drove passed here several times and never gave it a shot and I truly regret it. If you're in the Blue Point, even coming from a night of drinking in Patchogue, you have to make a stop. I started off with their chicken and waffles. I was a little upset because my waffles were cold BUT the tenders and that hottttt spice rub reallllly was fried perfectly! Juicy, spicy and crunchy chicken! Great quality chicken with a kick! I highly recommend the hot style chicken! It's the perfect amount of heat. Their macaroni and cheese weren't too bad either, gewy and worked perfectly with the spiciness! My brother in law chose the hot chicken sandwich and it was delicious. Usually he gets coleslaw but this time, he didn't and the pickles worked perfectly with the hot chicken flavor and savory taste and hotness! The service was great! Nick was so nice and friendly! Definitely give them a shout out when you're in town! This is not your typical hot chicken spot! ITS WAYYY BETTER THAN YOUR MOMMAS COOKIN &

    So glad I drove from Stony Brook today... change your hours!

    Chicken was good, and accurate with the heat levels. But I liked the option on the old menu of Dark meat on the bone, it was not as dry.

    My second visit to Rudi's and I cannot say enough about the service and the food. The bartenders…read moreare very nice and attentive. The food is delicious there burgers are amazing. Their specials and happy hour are great and budget friendly.

    I went to Rudi's for the Jose Reyes Mets event, and it was an absolute shit show…read more I've been to plenty of athlete appearances at bars and restaurants on Long Island, and I've never seen one run this poorly. First, if your place is simply too small to host an event like this, don't host it. The bar has maybe 12-15 tables and a rectangular bar. There was never enough room for the crowd that showed up. Second, if you're expecting people who have never been there before, tell them reservations are accepted. A simple line in the event announcement would have saved a lot of frustration. We showed up an hour early and stood in line to be seated for 15-20 minutes before a waitress finally told us every table had been reserved. She also explained that many of the customers were regulars who weren't leaving anytime soon. Then she took down names for a waiting list, only to tell everyone that we might never actually get called. So what was the point of taking names? By the time 7:00 rolled around, the place was packed beyond belief. If the fire code wasn't being tested, I'd be surprised. It felt like being packed in like sardines. Fortunately, I know the collectibles dealer who works with Jose Reyes, so I was able to meet Jose outside, get photos with him, and also with Mr. and Mrs. Met. That made the trip worthwhile. When I went back inside to say hello to a friend, I thought I was going to get trampled by the crowd. After that, we left. If Rudi's didn't want my business, the Cheesecake Factory certainly did. I got the free photo with Jose Reyes, spent exactly zero dollars at Rudi's, and enjoyed dinner elsewhere. Their loss was the Cheesecake Factory's gain.
