Hot Mama's is home of the root beer hot wing. Yes, root beer glazed hot wings. Did it sound rather disgusting? Sure did. Did it taste rather awesome? Even more so. A buddy and I went to HMW tonight and went pretty hard at it. 24 wings, basket of fries, two beers a piece. Total bill was $32 before tip and we scored a couple of those beers and the wings on the happy hour. If you are looking to eat like a true American then you better bring a big billfold. Did one of the owners look a little pissed when I asked for hot sauce for the wings? Sure did. Should he be happy that he provided the sauce because it resulted in a honorable mention in this review? Sure should. Besides, the wings are dry like everyone reports. Sauce on the side is nice. But those last three paragraphs don't matter. Four words: root beer hot wings. I'm not usually one to advocate for the advancement of any type of wing that isn't spicy but root beer glazed wings should put Hot Mama's on the map. Say the name, say the name, say the name.

We thought the wings were good, nice spot to take out to go, not a lot of parking being close to campus

Goooood wings. I like going to a place that isn't an imitation of Buffalo Wild Wings. The sauce line up isn't run of the mill and the wings are decent size. I had the habanero that caused me a great deal of sweat and pleasure! Cold beer too! Win! read more

Great food and beer selection. Their wings are some of the best I've had. Highly recommended.

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

One of those afternoons when you are just craving for wings and comfort food, so here we were, at mercy of Hot Mama's Wings at 5 in the afternoon. Lucky for us, we just so happened to be here for Happy Hour, which offered a slightly cheaper price for the food we were planning to order. Overwhelmed by choices, it took all of our will to not order all the sides they offered. We ended up with Mac N' Cheese, Garlic Parmesan Tots, Bacon Bleu Wings and Barbecue Wings. Foreseeing the greasiness of our food, I have also ordered a Raspberry Lemonade to standby. Oh my goodness. I could eat their tots ALL DAY. Given how it was only about 6-7 dollars, I didn't expect this HUGE basket of tots in front of us. Garlic parmesan wasn't just sprinkles of garlic salt and cheese, we could see the melted cheese on top of each tot. YUM! While I was going crazy on the tots here, my boyfriend took the liberty to finish the Mac N' Cheese...Without my knowledge. I don't blame him, it was tasty, not too rich or greasy that filled you up immediately. Last but not least, THE WINGS. Personally, I found their sauce to be a little salty to my taste, and the texture of the wings was somewhat dry. It could be hard to tell with they were covered in sauce. I have had better wings in here before, I'd like to believe this was just a hit and miss. Overall, still a satisfying meal. read more

Two stars for the Staff! They were kind and attentive. The wings (Dry rub Jerk) were over cooked, too sweet and just plain dry! What a total let down. We just moved to Eugene, and I was so excited to have a wing place nearby... Now, I am left with continuing the search for good wings :-( read more

We stopped here several times last year for happy hour. After doing some research on breweries/restaurants in the area, we decided to check out Hot Mama's draft choices. + Outside tables are dog friendly! + Happy hour food to satisfy your crispy/greasy craving + Great rotation of craft beer, many of them from Oregon breweries - Service was hit or miss On our first visit to Hot Mama's we had an excellent server who talked beer with us for several minutes and gave us great recommendations for beer in Hood River. Also saw on Twitter they were having a pint night and if you ordered the draft of the day (Oakshire), you got to keep the pint. I'm not sure if they still do this, but am hoping they do! read more

Pretty good wings and flavor choices without skimping on spice. Awesome microbrew menu. Good specials and even a happy hour. Comfortable interior. Great menu includes things other that wings to give you some different dining options. I like it. Parent's Note: Kids menu and whopper desserts like fried twinkies wiil make it a family favorite. read more

Hot Mama's Wings - the hand dryer in the bathroom packs an awesome punch - Chicken Wings Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

We live in San Diego, relatives live in Olympia and Gig Harbor. Hot Mama's is one of our must-stops whenever we drive from one to the other. We discovered Hot Mama's while one son was living in Eugene as a student. We love wings, and we especially appreciate that Hot Mama's wings are all natural (free-range, no drugs, etc.). During our last visit, I had the "Hot" sauce on my wings (two steps down from the "Kamikaze") which is my favorite. Wife had the special flavor of the day, which was like a Korean BBQ sauce - she really liked them, but they were a bit sweet for my palette. We also tried the chicken-fried bacon for the first time. Pretty good, but a little dry. The key is to use the spicy maple syrup dipping sauce. It is a great flavor combination. We'll try it again during our next visit. read more

Hot Mama's Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I wanted to try this place because I was looking for a good place to get fried chicken, and my wife is a wing fan. I got the chicken tender platter with spicy honey mustard and was blown away by how awesome everything tasted. My wife got two orders of seven wings each so we could get two sauces: the thai peanut and classic buffalo. They were both amazing, not too skimpy, good texture, chicken itself had good flavor! Even things like the ranch and bleu cheese dressings were done well, and getting tater tots was a treat I hadn't had since school days. So as far as the food goes, it was superb. As for the service, it too left nothing to be desired. The waiter knew the beers, helped me pick one that turned out to be exactly what I was looking for(wild hazy ipa). And we sat outside as the sun set, also a treat. We both had such a nice euphoria from the food and atmosphere that we hope to return very soon. read more

Went in for the first time, ordered 3 different flavors of wings. Was super disappointed. Seemed like they were all served from a really old batch. None of them were good. Not much meat on the bones either. So odd, I expected to much more for a wing place, on their wings. read more

Delicious wings at a local restaurant! The smoked maple bacon wings are tasty and the tater tots are warm and crispy. My wife had the mac and cheese with broccoli and really enjoyed it. The location is easily accessible, but you'll have to settle for street parking as there is no parking lot. I went for lunch and there was no wait, even though the dining room is small. Overall, I really enjoyed Hot Mama's and I'll definitely come back in the future. read more

I only got a picture of our apetizers but they were delicious. As well as our wings were. The loaded tater tots were very warm and cheesy. And there was a good amount for how much they cost. The pickles were very crispy and flavorful. Our service was very kind and welcoming, they made sure we water every time. read more

Great atmosphere if you're looking for a beer and a bite. It's loud in the restaurant but I wouldn't expect it to be quiet. It's a sports bar/wing spot. The food was good. The fried mushrooms were really good! The service was fast and accurate. They use paper straws which the turtles appreciate and so do we. I'd recommend this place to folks that want pub food fast and don't want to spend a ton. read more

Soo delicious! We ordered so many items on the menu. The bacon wrapped jalapeños were my favorite. I was also a big fan of the Raspberry Smash drink. read more

This was the best meal we had in Eugene- and we've eaten at fancy restaurants here! Really high quality ingredients, fresh and just super delicious! Even the dipping sauces are homemade! I wish I could transplant this restaurant to Seattle- where I live. This restaurant would be wildly busy! Especially with it being gluten free! The chicken strips, wings, and cheese curds were delicious! Highly recommend this place! read more

These guys are top notch for sure. I called in an order for their Wings and Tater Tots but got stuck in traffic and was late getting there which meant that my order was sitting there for a while, and then I had to drive to Creswell which is like 20 minutes away which meant that my order was pretty cold by the time I got to eat it. Was any of that their fault? No, of course not, they did their jobs as expected and with a pleasant smile. I sure would rather have stayed and had my dinner there while it was hot and fresh but that day will come again and when it does I'll be headed back to Hot Mama's Wings to feel that wonderful, warm hospitality that they offer. read more

How have I not been to Hot Mama's sooner? I had tried their Oakway Center location but I loved my experience here. It's a small spot with a little enclosed patio on the side and a front patio on the sidewalk. There's a bar inside, booths and tall tables with TVs on the walls for watching the game. Our server was awesome and I loved that we were able to try the different sauces before committing to a few. We ordered the 21 wings and a soft pretzel for the four of us to share. We were able to get 3 sauces and they were all so good! Each sauce has a different spice level and they all have really great flavor to them. I loved the raspberry habanero and the chile lime cilantro but even the Asian honey mustard was great. I think I loved them all. The only disappointing thing was that I ordered one of their Kentucky mule cocktails and the Ginger beer was completely flat. Other than that I can't wait to go back for more wings and try more flavors (it's awesome that they let you mix and match). read more

I make better wings at home... we ordered hotwings, fried mushrooms, fried pickles, and fries. The hotwings were less than mediocre. Their fried mushrooms had no flavor. Their fried pickles had so much batter on them that you couldn't even find the pickle. And the fries were just not good. Even the celery was old and limp. Won't be buying from here again. read more

Ordered carry-out for a large order of wings; half raspberry Habanero and half cilantro lime. Wings were delicious. We also ordered some " hot potato" tater tots, that were very tasty. Hot mamas wings definitely hit the spot for our cravings. read more

I got the order of 10 buffalo hot wings and shared a basket of tots! It was more than enough to eat and delicious! The garlic Parmesan tots were very good! I also noticed how polite, attentive and fast the staff was. Will definitely be coming back here soon. read more

Hot Mama's Wings - Buffalo hot wings and garlic Parmesan tots. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Came inand got take out, order the buttermilk chicken sandwich. Not back nicely breaded but the sauce I added for had no flavor very bland. It was the chili lemon cilantro. They charge you extra for take out orders, 50cent but who charges for take out. The blue cheese dressing had no blue cheese tasted more like ranch. Paid an extra .50 for that as well. 17 bucks for a sandwich is sad. Over priced for ok quality read more

I want to give a special tip of the cap to Hot Mama's Wings because I showed up here as part of a group with two sugar-addled toddlers after a Christmas party cookie binge. We were in the outdoor space, which we had all to ourselves, and the server was so nice as the kids ran roughshod over everything and were complete terrors. The server was great about putting thing out of reach and had a positive attitude the whole time. Plus, I love the food there and the prices are very reasonable. Protip: Get a side of one of the dipping sauces (I like the classic buffalo) too pour into your mac and cheese to really take the flavor to the next level. read more

Friends had told us this was the place to go for wings, so we brought our friends to try it out. Sauces were good, especially raspberry habanero. Jerk wings kind of bland, expecting more that jerk signature spiciness Would give a better rating but the wings themselves had so little meat on them that we all remarked we had never seen such scrawny wings. Have to keep buying more to get enough to eat, guess that is the ploy. read more

Great wings. Good beer. Must have when in Eugene. Especially the Raspberry habanero! Delicious

The wings here are very tasty. There are lots of sauce options, ranging in different heat levels. I had the raspberry/habanero. They were sweet and had a decent burn. Although, they were not as hot as I expected. The man do/habanero at B Dubbs is much hotter. What I didnt like is the fact that I wanted a 10 piece and to split it in 2 different flavors. They dont allow this option, which I find a little annoying. Because I could order 2 different 7 pieces. Whats the diff? I also had the fried dill pickles. They were very good as well. The flavors and service were both top notch. I will continue to eat wings here, and support local business. Beer selection is ok. Not great. read more

Heard good things about this place, so we went yesterday to experience it. We currently have family visiting from another country and thought this would be a great "try out." Let me start by saying this place has its own vibe, very small space/seating. We were a party of 11 and they do not accept reservations. We were on their outside patio for a good 30 minutes until tables in the inside opened. The waiter started out as very helpful and attentive. Once we were able to move inside, it was a different story. 2 things were awful: My Mom's and Sister-in-law's fish and chips were soggy. Yuck! And our waiter decided it would be ok not to pay attention to his table of 11. My Mom told him in the beginning that it would be separate checks, he did not listen. When he brought the check, I asked him to split it up. He simply stated to initial on the receipt who will be paying what and will take payment there. If you ask me, people go out to relax and not worry about nonsense like splitting up our own bill! Ridiculous. I see it as him being lazy and not doing his job. So I asked for his Manager since he decided to give me attitude when I told him this was a problem. She apologized, but continued to have us initial and itemize our own check! It was over $200 worth of food and you want us to itemize our OWN CHECK? I couldn't believe it. Because of this, we will not be returning. I will gladly go to Buffalo Wild Wings and get my Asian Zing sauce with respectful Managers and waiters. The only thing good about Hot Mama's Wings...their thai peanut sauce. If you want to go out and be spoken back to and do your waiters job, well you've found the place! read more

We are huge hot mamas fans in my household, but I just spent 55 dollars on this food, got home to eat it and man, what a disappointment. The wings were almost uneatable from being so over cooked. I've never tasted something so dry in my life and that was with everyone's food. The Mac and cheese was the only good thing about the meal. You guys seriously have the best wings in town (in my opinion) but whoever is cooking them right now needs to take them out of the fryer at least 15 minutes earlier. If people are paying 13 dollars on wings, we expect them to be cooked properly. Especially at a place that is know for their wings. read more

Reply by the owner: "Our Garlic Fries and Tots can be oily but never to the extent you described" Maybe you should take your blinders off and realize I am not writing this out of malicious vendetta. The first half of your sentence says everything. I call it as I see it. Obviously my tots were being suffocated by fryer oil forging me into a human flamethrower. First time going here was awesome. Fried pickles were so awesome they made me want to drop my pants. Last visit was my last. No joke the wife and I have both had the shits the last 3 visits we have been here. We kept thinking it was a fluke and wanted to love this spot. The amount of fryer oil left on my food is ridiculous. There was a good half inch of oil in the bottom of my tot basket. Wings taste good, however are small. Maybe it's just the wife and I, but the oil left on the food gives me the runs....i literally almost sharted myself. I'm too young for this! read more

Solid wing joint in the heart of well, at the heart of the end of 13th street, by end meaning, "before you get to the fairgrounds." The service is great--very friendly people, cooks and servers alike. Good value--price to food quality and quantity ratio is more than fair. A lot of different wing sauces are available, many of them quite good. (Though disappointed with the chipotle-lime, as it tasted like lime flavoring rather than real lime juice.) Whatever you do, don't order the "Kamikaze" wings unless a) you have a death wish or b) you're Adam Richman. Seriously not a good idea. Remember that episode of the Simpsons where Homer eats the Guatemalan Insanity Peppers then starts tripping balls, and a coyote with the voice of Johnny Cash tries to gnaw off his leg? It's like that. You've been warned. read more

Literally ate here 10 minutes ago. I'm a little buzzed, but here goes: Wings really hit the spot, though in future I'd ask for "spicy" to make sure they really bite. Good selection local beers on tap. Full bar. Great atmosphere. Everything is under $10!!!! A bit of a wait (opening night crush). Totally worth it. Yum. [We're coming back to try the Brunch next weekend...] read more

The best. Everytime I come here I cry with a little tear of fried deliciousness. I'm pretty sure the special menu was what they would serve in my own private heaven. Habenero Poppers, Taguray Gimlet with fresh lime, and of course the highly praised and rightly so. Chicken. Fried. Bacon. I can die now. and I probably will from eating that much fried food. every meal from here on out is a downward spiral. I've reached my peak of dining. Be still my heart. read more

Other reviews of the wings seem adequate, so I'll cover some other stuff, like the chili, a hidden treasure, unexpectedly spicy, and reminiscent of the stuff for which Cincinnati is famous. Loved it! Fries and tots are less successful; they are generously portioned, but also served lukewarm, bland and uninteresting, unless dipped in the aforementioned chili, that is. Mac and cheese? Okay, but the pasta is too soft and the whole mess is flavorless and way overpriced. Adding bacon makes it better (well, duh) and even more overpriced. Spare your arteries and your wallet and don't get this. We all have to eat some greasy bad stuff sometimes but I'd suggest waiting for something with more flavor. Drinks? About the same as everywhere, nothing exceptional one way or the other. The service was terrible. The waitress did the I-have-to-go-potty dance servers do when they're trying to hurry you, then screwed up our order, scowled when we asked for what we ordered instead of what we got, failed to apologize, then dropped off our food and made herself scarce the rest of the time we were there. I went up to the bartender to ask for our check and the waitress brought it over with another scowl, apparently unhappy at having been dispatched. I wanted to pay with a card, but our server dropped the check and disappeared again. Disgusted, I left cash...including an undeserved tip. The best I can say is that she didn't spit in my food, as far as I know. Some of this (well, not the rudeness) would be understandable on a busy night, but it wasn't especially busy - the server just didn't care. I'm not sure why restaurants employ people like that. Even if they don't care how their customers feel, don't they want their customers' money? If you factor in value, Hot Mama's could get two or three stars; I chose two because of the poor service. I might go back but I'd make a point of getting a different waitress. This one, a big girl with dark hair and a perpetual frown, was Hot Mess, not Hot Mama. read more

After reading all of the raving reviews on yelp I convinced my husband that we had to go to Hot Mama's! Him and I were both fairly shocked that we had never noticed Hot Mama's as we drive past the place almost daily. That being said, the marketing needs work and without knowing the place is there it's difficult to find. We walked in and there was a wait. My husband and I didn't mind the wait, but what bothers me about any service industry is a lack of communication. You should greet, let them know how long of a wait is to be expected and maybe even let them know you'll be right back to see if they want a beer while waiting in line. None of that went down - and I have to say this is pretty commonplace in Eugene. After waiting about 20 minutes we were seated with a food menu. Waters were brought shortly afterwards but our waitress wouldn't come for another 10 minutes. She arrived and we ordered a drink and an appetizer that was okay...however, it wasn't jalapeño poppers...it was some sort of hot red pepper with medium-crappy sauce for dipping. The appetizer was brought out by the cook so we didn't get to make our dinner order for another 20 minutes. Typically when I go anywhere for the first time I'm cognizant of the time for future reference. Sometimes it's great to get out and enjoy a leisurely eat but other times you've got places to go! Once we ordered our food it only took about 15 minutes to come out. My husband ordered the chipotle sauce and I ordered the root beer (I always get hot wings but the non-jalapeño poppers had my mouth on fire so I ordered sweet wings). I don't like root beer but the wings were good, it wasn't too much of a root beer taste (impulse buy/I was pretty sure my husband would love them). The only disappointment with my wings was that they weren't grilled. I had forgotten to ask and the waitress didn't offer a choice. The chipotle wings, on the other hand, were just plain gross. Neither my husband or I could stand them. We also had a side of their mac and cheese - it was so so. Bottom line, the wings at Chicken Bonz are better and the mac and cheese at PaPa Souls is better! read more

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

We got the buffalo wings, cilantro lime wings and Jamaican jerk wings all were just ok. My boyfriend said the buffalo ones tastes exactly like dominos wings (I've never had them). Nachos were just ok as well. Not a lot of flavor in the cheese sauce. Maybe next time. 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
