Always a great meal . . . especially their burgers, no matter how they're fixed! The side dishes are a very nice add to an already great burger. read more

My wife and youngest daughter came to HMB on our way to Stanfield to a farm to see a baby highland cow named Mable. With the name HMB it was fitting that I bring my wife and daughter. My wife and I ordered the single hot mess burger and Katy got a chicken salad. We enjoyed our Messy Burgersz and the picnic tables were all we needed to enjoy our meals. read more

This is a cute little spot in the middle of nowhere. There's no inside seating but plenty of picnic tables to enjoy your meal. We ordered the OMG burger and it did not disappoint. Also ordered the Hot Mess single which was just ok. The fries and onion rings were great. Service was friendly and speedy. We will definitely be back to try some other items. read more

I had a burger and my husband had the grilled cheese between two fried donuts. I took a bite of the donut and OMG-- so good! It was busy when we went (a Sunday, lunchtime) but they were upfront about the wait time prior to us placing our order. Seating was limited that day so we chilled on the tailgate and watched cars go by. We would go back! read more

My friend told me about this burger spot and we decided to try them for dinner. Everyone got a burger after tasting it I would say they're were worth every dollar! The donut burger was very interesting. I tried a bite, and I can see why people would like the Sweet n Savory flavor. I however, got the single with caramelized onions, which was perfect. Definitely would eat here again. read more

One of the best places for a burger and fries. We get an OMG every time! Love the Parmesan fries.

Great burger menu and fries are sprinkled with Parmesan ...humm...delicious! Well worth the trip to eat there. Or take home.

We just stopped there at 5:15 on our way to pick up deer meat. The processor didn't open until 6:00 so we thought we had plenty of time. We pulled in at 5:15. There was one other car in the parking lot. It took 20 minutes to order as there were several to go orders. We were told 10-15 minutes. We waited for 25 minutes to get our food. My burger was cool. The cheese was not melted. The man behind us in line to order was still waiting for his food when we were pulling out of the driveway. I never leave a review but that was ridiculous. read more

UPDATE: Had to come back and update this review since my last visit a few years back. So um...I don't normally eat things like this, but me and my BF decided to try the OMG, and OMGahhhhh...it was perfectly amazing with a blend of sweet and savory, my mind was blown. Try it. Just try it. You won't have ANY regrets. And the fries were okay. We sat outside at the picnic tables and it was a pleasant day. So all in all, I loved this way more than before. Y'all won me over. I'll be back! read more

They have Amazing food!!! Their Burgers and onion rings are the bomb!! We have also had the burger salad which was a healthy alternative if you didn't want the full burger. read more

I really like this cute, little burger spot. My son and I were in the area picking strawberries and went to Hot Mess after for some lunch. Everything was made fresh and served hot. The Parmesan fries were delicious. My burger was good, but could have been seasoned more. I really like the outside seating, but do wish they had a bathroom available. read more

Recommend: Not impressed. The wait to order was incredibly lengthy, food was barely mediocre - at best. Ordered nearly $100.00 of food and from the entire family partaking in the food, no one was impressed. All this being said, it's an independent business located and isolated on a lonely side of the road, with one intersection way out in Stanfield, NC. I LOVE to stop into small eateries, I always have, but this business just didn't inspire. The food wasn't bad so please don't misrepresent this, I just won't be returning. read more

Make sure to select the "no cheese" option on the single burger if you don't want cheese. I made the mistake of clicking "plain," assuming that meant no toppings, but they still added cheese. I paid $12 and when I asked for it to be remade, they refused several times. I had to explain that I'm lactose intolerant and can't eat cheese before they finally agreed to fix it. The customer service was really disappointing. I wouldn't recommend this place read more

This place is tucked away in a red storage container off of Highways 601. Don't let that fool you because the food is top tier. Fries are always crispy, burgers are always fresh, and staff is always friendly. Great place to get food for the family. read more

Hot Mess on rt 218 in Midland/Fairview, NC where the service is fast and the burgers and fries are plenty good! It seemed hit or miss on the hours the were open fall of 2023 and early spring but now seems more consistent. It's a great place to pick up some burgers and fries for a quick meal on the way home read more

I am all in on this roadside burger stand. Not only is it cute as button, but whoever thought of converting a shipping container into a fry shack, and then plopping it nearly nowhere was just plain genius. I love it. Our onion rings and cheeseburgers hit the spot, even after waiting about 15 minutes after ordering. Not a problem. Some have complained about the pace (they cook to order), another the price (clearly never been to a Shake Shack), and one baboon rudely suggests "go to 5 Guys" (which I'm sure he dissed since 38 out of his 49 reviews on Yelp are 1-star). Awkward. At $5.95 for a Double Cheeseburger--all juicy, with fresh lettuce, cold tomato, grilled beef, and the house Sloppy Sauce dripping out the edges of a bun that can barely keep up--I think price is more than fair. A steal actually. I don't mind waiting for freshness, and if I wanted to eat in the city, I would not be here. In the middle of nowhere. On Wednesday, a hot dog vendor rolls in for Weiner Wednesday. It's a two-fisted dilemma. Might I suggest surrendering like Dorothy was advised by getting both? This little red hut has my "give 'em a whirl" meter just a twirling. Take a drive on the wild side. Go here. read more

This place is awesome - it's basically a shipping container in God's Country. We take the convertible out for Sunday drives and stop here for the burger salad and onion rings. There's not a lot of seating and there's no indoors whatsoever but a good burger and rings hanging out at a picnic table on a summer afternoon can't be beat. They also play a lot of Sinatra. It's a vibe. Lots of fun. read more

New to the area and trying new eateries, this should of been a pass! I ordered the double burger and fried bologna sandwich. 1) Absolutely no seasoning , not even salt and pepper. Thin , flavorless patties. 2) Bologna? Really, talk about profit margin on a thin slice of bologna $5.75 With few options in Midland, locals go for what is there. I'll pass. read more

The special sauce they serve and the tots with the burgers are really the stars of this place. The fries look really good, but don't deliver on taste. Overall though, it's worth a try at least once. The chocolate chip cookies are very, very good. read more

Sadly this place is going down hill. We came here recently and the food just didn't seem the same quality as it's always been. It's also crappy they don't have the same onion rings they used to! This used to be my favorite burger in the area but sadly it's not up there anymore. read more

It was exciting when this place opened a few years ago because there aren't enough restaurants around here besides fast food. Of course, Hot Mess is also fast food, but was a little better since they made it while you waited. At first they were decent burgers. After a few lackluster meals (I don't know why they seemed to deteriorate in quality) I haven't been back. I prefer The Sundae Shop burgers because although they aren't as good as Hot Mess used to be, they're consistently better than what they became. read more

Possibly the best experience ever Everyone hunt down the truck. Where can we find the truck? I can't always drive to Midland. I would eat it everyday. My son loves the fries. Spread the happiness, get that truck on the road! Keep us posted!! read more

The food tastes really good and reasonably priced. Not only that it is reasonably priced but the burgers are a satisfiable size. I don't like chocolate cookies but theirs looked so good, I had the desire to try it. I was not disappointed. I ended up visiting them again the same week to try another burger, and purchased another cookie. read more

I had The Messy Beast! 3 patties, cheddar, pepper jack, and provolone cheese, onion rings, fries, tater tots, and messy sauce! I gobbled it all up too! Great burgers and fries! All of us enjoyed our food and they also have fresh baked cookies, though we missed out on those. No complaints, only compliments! read more

best burger i've ever had ever!!! holy crap batman you need to eat here. seriously. eat at hot mess burgers or youre an idiot

Beautiful day in Charlotte so I ventured out to Hot Mess Burgers. This place is WELL off the beaten path. Cattle graze across the street and classic cars pass by on 601 out for a Sunday drive in the countryside. From the picture you can see that it is a steel shipping crate, and that just adds to the coolness of this place (that and Dean Martin blaring from the speakers). The double burger was good. The onion rings were great! Sprinkled in Parmesan cheese it gave them kind of a mozzarella stick vibe, and I was good with that. Service was friendly and helpful for this first time customer. I like to ask questions about what they like on the menu, as long as I'm not holding up a line. That is how I settled on the onion rings. I absolutely will be back, with the family and dog in tow. Great job Hot Mess! read more

Delicious food and reasonably priced. Outdoor area for eating is clean and inviting. The menu isn't extensive but the fries were as good as I'd heard. The burgers were just like the best ones you've ever grilled in your own backyard! read more

First time I tried this place after passing it several times. when I ordered I was told it would be 20 mins. I said no problem. it was busy at the time. but in my opinion not overly busy where it should be taking that long but I figured I can overlook the wait if the food is worth it. after about 45 mins I went to the window and asked how much longer. The person, who I believe is the owner, rudely asked what my name was and I told her. She then said, again rudely, "it will be up very soon and I'm sure you were told there would be a wait when you ordered" to which I replied "I was told 20 mins. its been 45" at which point she got visibly upset and commented "I'm cooking as fast as I can". and shuts the window and walks away. after about 10 more mins she tells me my order is ready. still with a pissy attitude. I didn't care though I was just glad to get my food and get out of there. I get back to my car and decide to check my order. it was not right. it was missing an order of onion rings. I go back and politely tell her that I am missing onion rings. she says you must have taken the wrong order! lol really? you gave it to me and it has my name on the receipt. after explaining again she realizes she was wrong and angrily throws rings in my bag, walks over to the register, pulls out a 10 bill, slams the register shut and proceeds to put the dirty bill in my bag of food. I told her I didn't want any money back she said "I want to" and slammed the window shut. as for the food, the fries were dry and had absolutely no flavor. they say they use salt and parmesan. maybe they do but I tasted nothing, literally nothing. F grade on the fries. Onion rings overcooked and also lacked any sort of flavor. F grade on those as well. Burger was very good. I enjoyed it . B grade. their "mess sauce" (I believe that is the name) is nothing special. its basically thousand island dressing with other ingredients mixed in. not bad but nothing special. although the burger was good it didn't make up for the fries and rings being absolutely terrible, the time it took to get the food and the utterly rude service (especially for the owner, if she was the owner).. will never go back. read more

Great burger and cool concept. I took my son for lunch and he loved the food and experience.

Very messy burgers. Delicious! This is a restaurant made from a storage unit you would see on a train or the back of an 18 wheeler. Greatplace to stop along the road between Concord and Monroe on 601. read more

What an interesting place! The store is a storage container!! Burgers are fantastic! I also recommend the burger salad. French fries are kind of skinny, but seasoned wonderfully. You can call your order ahead of time, too! It's a bit out of the way but well worth it. read more

A great burger place that is filling and flavorful. Hits the spot after a warm day or if you're just craving a burger!

Food was delicious. Stopped on a whim and was very surprised how good things were. The onion rings where my favorite.

My boyfriend and I just went here for the first time, it was such a nice experience, the music was great, the cute little trailer was so nice and there were lights everywhere, it was a great environment to sit down and enjoy our amazing burgers and onion rings, I had the single patty and added an egg and onion and it was amazing, the sloppy sauce is also very good! My boyfriend got the donut burger and he said it was a very good donut burger he gave it a 4.5/5 which is pretty good on his rating scale! And the onion rings were nice and crispy and tasted great with the sloppy sauce :) overall great food and experience. read more
