I've gone looking through yelp for new places to eat sooo many times I've lost count. I've scrolled past Mama Hot Wings over a dozen times probably. For some random reason I decided that my boyfriend and I should go try it. I found out they have a full bar and a lot more on their menu besides wings! We got there about 8 o'clock and were able to be seated right away. Our server's name was Alicia (hope I spelt that right) and she was the BEST. She answered all our questions and made some of the tastiest fresh squeezed cocktails ever! We ordered 7 wings in their buffalo sauce, macaroni and cheese, and their corn dog. My boyfriend enjoyed his wings, the macaroni and cheese was good, and the corn dog was DELICIOUS! Freshly made (they definitely breaded it there) with a hebrew national hot dog. The tots were very light and airy. Really good! The best and our favorite part of this place though was definitely the bar. The first drinks we ordered were a margarita and a lemon drop. I was craving a lemon drop and was unsure if a place like this would even make them. But they do! Both drinks tasted so fresh! After we got them our server let us know that all their drinks are made with fresh squeezed juice... and how could you want anything more than that!? After we drank those Alicia offered to make us anything we could think of. I ended up getting their Raspberry Smash off their cocktail menu with regular vodka instead of sweet tea vodka. Tasted like fresh raspberry lemonade! She made my boyfriend an interesting one. It was some tea, tequila, lemon juice, and a few blueberries. Also super good! We will be back! It's such a cute place with great food, drinks, and service! read more

Went there on spur of the moment with friends. Found out Weds is .75 Wing night so my price reference is based on that! Friends got different wings so got to try a variety. I got BBQ, and got to try Bacon and Blue (great if you like bacon and blue cheese and a bit rich), I think Garlic and hmmm cannot remember the rest of this flavor, it was ok, my friend Loved them. I also got to try Thai Peanut I think...they were great actually. I cannot remember if there was another flavor or that was it. The tots are a HUGE portion like to share with 4 people so keep that in mind. They were not my favorite, but the wings were pretty excellent! Quick and outside seating if you need it. They were busy. My friend gets other things besides wings and loves them too. I would definitely go again. read more

Hello grease and stomach pains. If you're stomach doesn't take to grease very well, I'd suggest taking a pepto bismol or an activated charcoal capsule prior to your meal and drink LOTS of water. The atmosphere and service is great, friendly, and quick. Maybe this would be a better happy hour spot than a meal or a good place for a group of people for some drinks. Their wings were underwhelming and had way to much sauce on them to be enjoyable. I assume you could ask to have less sauce. Their appetizer portions are gigantic so don't let your eyes be bigger than your stomach unless you have a group of people with you, then go for it. The prices were a bit high for my personal standards, which was a bit of a turn-off, but the food was alright. The fried pickles needed a better batter, perhaps like they had on the fried chicken sandwich or maybe with some cornmeal added and the option for a half order would be great. The fried chicken sandwich was underwhelming and sort of tasteless. The bun was not great and actually really to big, unless you have a large mouth its near impossible to take an entire bite. I ended up just getting rid of half the bun and messily eating it. The tater tots were great, a bar food favorite, however I found they were actually tastier after having taken them home and re baked them so they were extra crispy. read more

Went here yesterday and enjoyed some really great wings! We walked in and we seated ourselves, everything was very clean and organized and the resturaunt has a really modern, fun feel. Our waitress Erin was so amazing and nice. The service was great and our food came out really quickly. They have a really great deal on the weekdays until 2:30pm where you can get 10 wings, fries or tots, and a drink for $14. It sounds a little expensive but you get a ton of food and it's definitely cheaper than your basic wing resturaunt these days. I did the $14 deal with tots and the asian honey mustard wings which were sooo good and my boyfriend did the same but with buffalo wings and fries which he really enjoyed as well. Were on vacation but we're definitely going to have to stop by here again before we go back home because they have some of the best wings i've ever had by far. Next time im going to have to try the fried pickles because those looked so good! If youre in the area i'd really give this place a go, worth every penny! read more

Hot Mama's Wings - $14 Lunch Combo with Asian Honey Mustard Wings and Tater Tots (also comes with a drink) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Had 9 Hot Wings, grilled (not fried). REALLY good but I was teared up and sweating by bite #2. Really diverse menu and I even convinced a co-worker to stop by later that day (and I had another 9 mild wings!). read more

Have you ever cooked onion rings an chicken wings? The process of prepping is somewhat intensive however cooking is pretty straight forward; 1) put items in fryer 2) take them out when done 3) let rest 4) serve. Foursquare says I checked in 40 mins ago... And I'm still waiting.... For a takeout order. It's not like I'm asking for a poularde de breast en vessie. It's chicken wings and onion rings. Waitresses are nice but this really is rubbish. Sad when Hooters can put you to shame in the service department - that's saying something. Granted the wait staff was kind enough to pay for my beer and the food was good. Totally willing to give this place another shot; we all have our off days - stay tuned for an update read more

To be fair, I probably should have known NOT to order a salad in a wings joint but that's what sounded good. I paid $12 for a chicken caesar. It didn't seem to have any romaine, just a bunch of chopped up iceberg. The chicken was sparse as was the dressing. It was just not worth the money. My table mates weren't too excited about their food either. In summary, when you go to a wings joint, you should probably order wings. NOTE: Since my review the owner informed me that the lettuce was romaine. I still don't think the salad was worth the money but he was very kind and I'll try this place again. read more

-I was pleasantly surprised with the full bar when I walked in. That was a plus!!! Good local beer variety on draft (not just Ninkasi). -Absolutely the best poppers I have ever had. Wrapped in bacon (everything is better with bacon) and SPICY!!!! -As far as the wings....meh. We had the root beer, medium and chipotle bourbon. Could not tell the difference between the root beer and medium and the bourbon was nothin special. Don't get me wrong, they weren't bad. Just dont get where all the hype comes from?? -Maybe those 5 star-ers were stoned..... read more

Wings can come grilled?! Sacrilege! But of course I tried it. 9-piece grilled hot sauce wings along with the traditional strips of celery and carrots arrived at our table promptly. Tender chicken meat melted in my mouth and then IT arrived milliseconds after the fresh charbroiled introduction....the hot kick. Well done! Spicy shouldn't overwhelm the flavor, and Hot Mama's delivered it spectacularly. My complaint lies in the very sad, very limp, oily fries and the depressingly thin, watery blue cheese dressing that's embarrassingly their own creation. After a few bites of spicy wings, I prefer to tame it with a refreshing and thick coat of blue cheese, which then would follow a couple strings or a wedge of crisp fries that ought to soak any residual fire still lingering in the palate to cleanse it and prepare it for the another scintillating adventure. I burned instead. read more

So I ate here because it was the talk of the town on Yelp and because I like myself some chicken -- some fried chicken! The menu is the standard bar menu with appetizers, salad, sandwiches, and most importantly, chicken! This place has a full bar and it's pretty tiny. I'm not too impressed with this place because of the $0.50 fee on take out orders. Seriously? The place is small enough as it is and there's a fee for take out? I bet their aim was to have a lot of take out orders because honestly, the place is pretty small. As for the food, I've had better wings at KFC, Popeyes, etc. I don't see the appeal of this place, other than their root beer glaze and tempeh wings. Who has tempeh wings, I would rather not. I do admit the onion rings were killer awesome. I don't even like onion rings, but these onion rings were divine. Good idea, but sneaky business practice. read more

I ordered seven of the kamikaze and my wife ordered seven of the black and blue chicken wings. They were amazing the service was great we love this little place. For some reason the wings seem hotter at this location then the other location. read more

Went to Hot Mama's for the first time last night with our friends and their little kiddos. Contrary to early reports of a loud, packed joint, Hot Mama's at 6:30 on a Wednesday is apparently a good place to take the family. I debated whether to go veg or try their wings, and I chose the wings after learning that they were free range birdies. Go on, roll your eyes, but this is Eugenia and it's important to me. Not too many wing joints offer that. We went with the root beer and chipotle bourbon wings. All wings are fried; they no longer offer a grilled option. The root beer was sweet and weren't lacking for sauce. I can't say it was my favorite taste sensation, but it was unique. The chipotle bourbon wings were fine. The house made blue cheese was too liquidy and not blue cheesy enough. The onions rings were fantatisic - big onion rings and a perfect, light and seasoned batter. My friend opted to sub a veggie burger and it looked good - it came with what looked like a whole jalepeno sliced on top, and a side of an "insane sauce" that was indeed, insane. Her side salad was big and looked good. Her kiddos got kid sized mac and cheese bowls. I tasted the mac and cheese and was not at all impressed despite the fancy list of cheeses that allegedly went into the dish. Her husbands french fries look improved over other Yelpers' reviews of limp, sad fries. Decor was fine, and I really dug the benches that were reclaimed wood from the downtown Nike store. read more

I came expecting great hot wings and I wasn't disappointed. What I didn't expect was all of the other delicious things offered on the menu, along with great service. We pretty much stick to basic buffalo wings, but they were done perfectly. We also had Mac and cheese which was delicious and the huge chewy pretzel which was so much better than I thought it would be. The pretzel came with mustard and a beer cheese sauce, and I would probably order anything that came with that sauce! Servers are fast and friendly and seem to know what they're doing. Prices are a bit higher than places with the same kind of food, but we thought it was worth it. Now I just have to stop from going too often, not exactly low-cal! read more

Five stars for the grub, this fact is well-known and well documented. Service is not bad, they are kind but not overly concerned about your comfort. I give this place 3 stars for the ambiance. We asked to sit on the patio since outside was full. She brought us in to three empty tables. I asked if my husband and I could sit at the four top for a little extra space. She said no since they might get more people soon. I was fine with that response and sat at the two topper but to my dismay within 5 minutes the patio was completely empty. There were now 2 four toppers open but I did not ask to move. I wrote a yelp review instead. Sorry. And now they seat a couple at the 4 top, as I am writing this. Two stars. And I am no longer sorry. The sitting space in the patio is crammed and your neighbor's conversations are your own. Not so bad if you enjoy drunk, really drunk, and very loud neighbors! Really, every time I have come my neighbors have been incredibly loud. It is difficult to enjoy your meal with people talking... Loudly... I am sure this is not always the case but it is more common than not. A little more space would be nice, maybe I will try inside next time, the weather has just been so nice. The food was mediocre at best. Cold wings!?! C'mon. Our waitress was freaking awesome. (she is a dark haired woman with glasses). She was quick, fun, and very helpful. Nice work! read more

Hot Mama's Wings - Seating on the patio with no neighbors. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Is it a compliment to say Hot Mama's Wings fits right into this section 13th Street? I hope so. Hot wings in a tiny storefront, can't say there are too many of those in Eugene. This could be a really nice neighborhood node if 13th Street were a little more pedestrian friendly here. Street trees well defined sidewalks and crossings, you know the whole bit. Cafe Soriah holds down one corner with the Wagonworks auto shop while Bergs looms lengthily across the street with some oldschool Eugene ski shop reputation. Hot Mamas adds a petite or cozy or however one politely says small sidewalk presence next to another mini mart/bodega. Inside is mostly wood booths and barstools but it still maintains a comfortable atmosphere. We tried the Chipotle Bourbon and Chili Lime Basil wings. Wings came out quickly were super saucy with good flavor. Will try some of their other offerings next time we pop in. read more

New review for our used-to-be-favorite neighborhood spot. What changed: New menu = no more corndogs. Sounds small but for picky kids this was one of the only proteins they liked. Actually they loved them. So now they don't look forward to eating there. Also they removed the gluten free onion rings. Some of us are gluten free, they were delicious, and it was one of the only places in Eugene to get them. So in general the food is less interesting there. Service: We have been there three times in the past several months when they were expecting large groups. They gave us a heads up and there was at least 1.25 hours before the reservations. But they made us feel strange about staying and completing our meal. It definitely felt like the group was the priority. Alisha, Erin, and Noelle are fantastic. read more

So, I normally HATE eating any meat right off the bone. I blame a horrible childhood visit to Medieval Times. I went here because I was planning on an appetizer dinner and that was a great success! Shared some delicious fried pickles, mac and cheese and garlic parm fries with friends and on a whim decided to try a wing - HOLY CRAP. I devoured the wing and then immediately ordered my own 10 wings to bring home to eat at another time. The wings are crispy, light and delicious and I, boringly, love them plain just because the chicken is so damn good. I have been back 2 tims since to this location and another 1 time to their Oakway location and I am now a convert and will continue to go here because dayum. read more

I have been here twice for late night happy hour. The happy hour menu is decent with some good items and $3 pints. The first time I had the mac & cheese and the server was kind enough to get me a side of the 'insane' habanero sauce (although he was reluctant to do so). Quite enjoyable. My buddy enjoyed her wings as well. The second time was vastly different. Slow service. Bland food. Painfully bad music at the Monday open-mic. The wings were overcooked, and the sauce was like flavored water. Honestly, they looked soggy and pale, both the hot and root beer wings. The standard 'hot' wing sauce apparently is also made with habanero which is too hot, with little flavor, no complexity. Habanero should really be saved for the extra hot sauces. I might go back for the mac & cheese. But probably not. I don't trust their lack of consistency in food quality. And don't go on a Monday night unless you enjoy terrible Bob Dylan and Dead covers. read more

This is basically my neighborhood bar, easily within stumbling distance of my house so I never have to worry about driving home when I'm too tipsy. Also, there is a convenience store next door so I can pick up a six pack or a bottle of wine to continue the party at my house if I like. What's not to like? Deep fried bacon with spicy maple dipping sauce? Yum. Fried pickles? Excellent. Lots of flavors of wings, and they have your choice of tots or fries with any sandwich. I also really like the buffalo chicken salad with hot sauce on the chicken and blue cheese dressing on the salad. Drinks are superb, and I often enjoy a bloody mary or other mixed beverage or a cider on draft. Prices are reasonable and service is always on point. Kids are welcome, but I wouldn't keep them here too late as folks are known to get their drink on once in a while. read more

Was in town for the weekend and met a group of buddies at Hot Mamas. Wow, it was the perfect venue for meeting the crew and watching some playoff hoops. We had great service and our waitress was on point and anticipated our needs extremely well even though it was pretty full. We all appreciated her giving us advanced warning about happy hour ending. Drinks: Great beers on tap, which we found out rotated every couple weeks or so, and the local brews seemed to be well represented. Our group concurred that pitchers would be a great option, and were informed they might be coming soon. Can't comment on cocktails as none of us ordered any. Food: Loved the "Hot" sauce, it's terrific but really HOT; not overpowering, but definetly slowed me down a little from plowing right through the wings. "Chipotle Bourbon" was a huge hit at the table, with "Chili Lime Cilantro" coming rounding out the top 3. I didn't try the root beer, which bums me out because it seems like they're legit. Onion wings were really good, exceeded expectations. Tater tots were a crowd pleaser as always. We only caught happy hour for our first round and most of our bill was regularly priced, yet I was pretty pumped when the final bill came. Way less then we all were anticipating for how much we ate and drank. I live in LA so it was WAY less than I would have guessed, but the Eugene crew were all excited as well. Anyway, Hot Mama's will be ON TOP of the meeting spot rotation FOR SURE moving forward. Overall a terrific experience. read more

Food was meh. Service was meh. They serve food you eat with your hands and they don't have paper towels in the bathroom which means you have to touch the gross doorknob on your way out. I'll never give a business a good review that does this. I don't care how hippie and tree-saving Eugene is, this is repulsive. Despite being at maybe 60% capacity, our food took a long time (30 mins) and then we had to find a different server to get our check 10 minutes AFTER our table had already been bussed. Everything we ordered was fried, it should not have taken that long. read more

Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich was fantastic! Our server was friendly and they have tables outside perfect for bringing your dog along. And the address is 420, which is pretty cool. read more

Hot Mama's Wings - Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich - Chicken Wings Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

See all

Really good!! We came on a Tuesday night which is $4 microbrew pint day! The beers were delicious. We ordered the macaroni & cheese, dirty fries, and some wings. The Mac & cheese is good, it has a hint of black pepper in it that gives it a kick of spice. The dirty fries have bacon on it which kicks it up a notch. Our first round of wings here raspberry habanero & Asian honey mustard. These were good but i enjoyed the 2nd round of wings which were all FLAVOR TOWN (credit to triple d) they were the Thai peanut & chili cilantro lime. These were divine and all kinds of amazing! I will come here again & order just wings & beer. read more

It's a wing joint. It's hard to screw up wings so it's hard to give them a super high rating. Not bad food, but nothing I haven't had before or stood out. Maybe I'm spoiled by having Fire on the Mountain in Portland so often. I like the small space and it's a nice place to have in that part of town where there aren't many options. So that is certainly a plus. read more

Went to Hot Mama's for the first time for dinner. Overall good experience. Food: We got cilantro lime wings and a burger with a gluten free bun and an iced tea. Food was really tasty and I was super happy to see that you can sub in a gluten free bun on any of the sandwiches (the fish and chips is also gluten free) for an extra .75. Service: Every table was taken when we walked in, but the service was good and quick anyway. We waited about 10 minutes for food. The wings came out one short, and the waitress promptly went back and brought us the missing wing plus 2 extras on the house, Atmosphere: Nice and casual scene with a wide variety of patrons at 6:30, from families to singles. Cool looking bar, although we didn't sit at it. We sat at the long table down the middle, which is fine and we kind of liked it. Blasts of cold air from the door though.. We'll be back! Thanks! read more

Ugh, okay, this place is great. So why have I amended my prior review? So many reasons. First, the owner (or manager, I don't really know) of this place responds to every review. I love that. Even though I was pretty upset with my experience the first few times I visited Hot Mama's, he offered to give us a voucher to come back. I didn't take him up on the offer, but it was still very appreciated. Second, we got dinner from Hot Mama's tonight and everything was outstanding. We ordered a buffalo chicken salad that was AMAZING - fried onion rings on top, tons of bacon, and spring greens. Yum! We also ordered 14 wings (7 hot and 7 asian honey mustard) and the sauces were great. The hot is not a classic buffalo sauce, so be aware of that before you order, but I was very pleased with the flavor. It was spicy, but not too spicy to eat and it tasted...maybe bright is the best word for the sauce. I loved it. The asian honey mustard were another hit. The sauce had a great depth of flavor and the wings themselves were sprinkled with sesame seeds. I also appreciated that there was plenty of sauce in the to-go order. Sometimes restaurants leave the wings sauced with nothing in the bottom of the container and they get dry - not a problem at Hot Mama's! The wings were also plump and very juicy. Third, the ranch and blue cheese sauces are still super flavorful and the perfect consistency. So you win Hot Mama's...you are amazing. Take all the stars, just take them. Edit: I re-tried the inferno wings and they were a completely reasonable spice level (for people who love things spicy!!). I'm thinking that either a.) I got a batch of crazy-spicy outlier wings last time, b.) the restaurant has changed their formula for this wing or c.) I was in some kind of hot-sauce-hating rage the last time I tried them. read more

best wings and best staff. drinks are awesome too, i recommend the raspberry splash and the garlic buffalo wing sauce.

Oh man... I really don't want to have to change this review later, so keep the deliciousness coming! I've had Hot Mama's a few times (always takeout--my TV is bigger and I don't want to miss the game! ), and while the sauce is always delicious, I've had varying wing quality--oftentimes the meat was a little too dry or tough. I keep coming back because I love wings, and the variety of sauces is great. I got some wings a week ago after a Duck game and WOW! Grabbed six each of the Classic Buffalo, Chili Lime Cilantro, and the Chipotle Bourbon. All of the wings were cooked to perfection--quite the feat considering they varied widely in size! Juicy, tender, yummy connective tissue bits... And the sauces were amazing. Have since tried their burgers, and even being not-a-burger-person, I am allll about The Dominator--bacon and eggs give it a deliciously breakfast-y flavor, without shoving it in your face. read more

Great service and scrumptious wings! You have to check these guys out! This business exemplifies the level of service and quality that more restaurants in Eugene should aspire to attain. Enough said I think! read more

As of today, I have eaten here a number of times. The cuisine is hearty and flavorful at a decent going rate. This joint's interior is also set up very well, simple table scheme with some neat Eugene-themed posters framed on the wall. I felt invigorated during my urination due to the life-size portrait of Bruce Lee in the men's room. The big TVs in there are awesome too. I love TV, especially in a restaurant. To be honest, I prefer the sandwiches over the wings here. They are far superior. The wings are pretty good, lots of sauces to choose from, but wings in general are too gimmicky for me to really enjoy. I branched out today and got a fish sandwich in addition to wings. It was cooked up right. The service there has always been great to boot. A polite amount of table-talk; the servers aren't corny or passive-aggressive, either. They always make certain I am taken care of. I really do appreciate it. read more

A thoroughly mediocre experience. Our server was fairly attentive, but otherwise the experience left a lot to be desired. The food simply isn't good. We got 24 wings: 12 Root Beer wings (after reading the rave Yelp reviews), 6 Blue Cheese and Bacon, and 6 Asian Honey Mustard. The Root Beer wings tasted like someone took a bland fried chicken wing and poured slightly congealed root beer over it. The Blue Cheese and Bacon wings were again bland fried chicken wings slathered with blue cheese dressing and sprinkled with bacon. Admittedly, the Asian Honey Mustard wings were okay, but it still wasn't anything to write home about. You're going to pay about $1 per wing and get the quality of a $.25 happy hour wing with some extra sauce poured on it. The beer selection is what you could get at most restaurants. At $4 a pint, it isn't a bad deal, but it isn't a good one either. There's no reason to go here unless you've got such a craving for wings that you don't really care about price or quality. It isn't a BAD establishment. But it's not a good one either. read more

We've been to Hot Mama's Wings twice now. Both times we've been greeted quickly and told to sit wherever we wanted. They have an extensive beer selection and a full bar. The service was very prompt both times. The first visit, we both tried the hamburger and fries. The fries were somewhat limp and greasy, but you get a lot of them. The flavor of the burger was excellent. However, both of our burgers (which we ordered medium-rare) were VERY drippy. When tilted, pinkish-clear juices dripped from the burger into the basket. By the end of the burger, the bun was soaked and tinted pink. I propped up one end of my basket so the juices wouldn't drain into my fries. The second visit, we both tried the grilled buffalo chicken sandwich with the side salad. Again, the flavor of the sandwich was excellent. But the sandwich was extremely messy. It was made up of three pieces of white meat which fell out of the bun as I tried to eat it. The bun was too thick and dry for this sandwich. I ended up forgoing the bun and eating the rest with a fork. Our very nice server noticed we were having difficulties with our sandwiches. She said they were still working out the kinks with it. This sandwich will be perfect if they use a whole chicken breast instead of pieces. A thinner, softer bun would be best. The tomatoes on the sandwich were red and juicy, and the lettuce was romaine (yay!) and not iceberg. I really want to like Hot Mama's Wings. It's in my neighborhood and I like the atmosphere. Lots of good beer and the well gin is Gordon's (another plus). I hope they make some improvements to their sandwiches so they are less messy. read more

I love their Wednesday wing deal ALL day!!! They also let you do the Wednesday chicken wing deal to go for the times where you're off early then all of your work friends but you also don't want to sit alone and eat chicken wings like a wildebeest by your lonesome. My favorite Wednesday happy hour! read more

Service was pretty friendly! Tater tots weren't greasy, and fried to perfection! One word, Y U M!

I live a couple blocks from this place and was really excited to see it open. I went opening weekend and was pumped to get my wing on. Here is what I experienced at this place: Cool decor, nice bar, ok prices. On my first trip I was had my doubts but since then they have gotten the kinks out. I have had various experiences here, close to full on shouting level loud to regular restaurant talking. Only one was frustrating but since it is running smoothly. I have had barbecue, chipotle bourbon, hot, Insanely hot and parm/garlic. The wings originally had very light sauce, nearly dry, but now they are saucy, my one complaint the first time I went here. Tasty chicken, crisp skin with nice original flavor sauces. One thing that has happened more than once is that I have gotten the wrong wings. The sauces are close to the same color, maybe get stickers with the sauce name on it and put it on the paper in the basket? I didnt send them back because I wasnt dead set on what I wanted, so it was kind of a mystery basket. I hope the best for this place, and am gladly upgrading them to 4 stars because I would recommend going here! read more

We came in last night and had HORRIBLE service. The waiter completely ignored us for 15 minutes then practically threw waters on the table while walking by without so much as making eye contact. He then spent another 20 minutes walking back and forth past our table completely ignoring that we were there. Two other tables were seated and served food before my boyfriend basically stood up in front of a waiter to get drinks ordered. When we finally got food they gave us the wrong sides. The only time we were acknowledged or had any kind of reasonably timed service was when they brought the bill. There are way too many great restaurants in this area to return after being treated like that. read more

All of the things I wrote in my original review USED to be true. When we moved to the neighborhood, there were several vegetarian options, here, including a grilled veggie sandwich. They later replaced this with a tempeh Ruben, which was surprisingly delightful. Understandably, over the past several years, this has been a regular dining spot and a place we'd take visitors. As of late, however, the options are too limited for me to want to return. There's no longer a vegetarian sandwich. So, last week, I ordered the buffalo blue cheese (name may be slightly different) salad with tempeh. What I got, for $14.50, was a bowl of 1/2 salad greens to 1/2 fried onion with thinly sliced, tough, overly sauced tempeh on the side, and a side of blue cheese dressing. This might not have been so dissappointing if I didn't know what their offerings used to be like. I'm not going to pay top dollar for a memory, and likely will not return. read more

I am a big fan of bone in wings and it can be hard to find a place that has big juicy bone in wings, well Hot Mama's has just that! I was pleasantly surprised at the big quantity and large size of wings. My husband and I have been back a few times now. We love the atmosphere too. read more

I've eaten here a number of times and so far, I'd say it's my favorite wing joint in Eugene (this may not be saying much). I'm a little surprised by the underwhelming reviews here, however most of the lower ratings seem to be a bit older so perhaps they've upped their game recently? All I can say is my experiences here have been good, I find the wings perfectly cooked and nicely meaty with a great selection of sauces. Even better the sauces are very generously applied and unlike some places I've been in the past, they don't charge extra for blue cheese and celery. At $1 per wing though, it's not exactly a steal, but I do feel they are worth the price. The blue cheese and bacon are one of my favorite's, and both times I've had them the bacon is quite generously applied. Mmm bacon. Also, the onion rings are thin and crispy and I actually seem to be made in house, unlike most places who buy them frozen. I've also found the service to be extremely fast both times I've been there, and the people working have always been friendly. It is however quite small, so it may be difficult to get a large group in there, or get seating during peak hours. But, with a solid selection of microbrews I find it a great place to stop in and get takeout while I enjoy a beer for a moment. read more

We love Hot Mama's Wings! It's a small place, and it can get crowded and busy, but if you pick your times carefully, you can have a really nice visit. As for the food, we always order wings, though they have several other offerings, each with its own unique creative twist. Our favorite wings are the blue cheese and bacon and the classic buffalo, though we've tried (and enjoyed) most of the others, save for the really, really spicy ones. (Hint: The spiced maple bacon are CRAZZZZY!) Others have commented on the wings being somewhat chewy and dry. We've experienced that too, but I can say that on our last visit (just a few days ago), the wings were noticeably better -- tender and moist. Hopefully, they've rectified that problem for good. They have several fun starters -- the bacon-wrapped poppers will make your head explode, and the tater tots are just plain delicious. Chicken fried bacon -- are you serious?!? Great stuff! And the newly added deep-fried pickles are a most welcome addition -- hard to find in Eug/Spfld area! And the desserts... oh, just check 'em out. You'll see! And of course they have an ever-changing selection of brews on tap. I'm not a big beer drinker, but I've found a couple here that I would not have discovered otherwise.
