Food was hot and it was almost now took about three minutes! All I can say is you get what you pay, cheap price for a smallish burger. I thought it was tasty got the fixings on it. Place was well kept on outside and worker was nice. read more

Hot n Now - Double cheeseburger - Fast Food Near Me - Wayland, Michigan

I grew up as a teen with a Hot N Now in every town, or Rot N Cow, as we fondly called it back then. I the 80's is was cheap food and also not bad flavor. The olive burgers were killer. So today I was in Kentwood with my son, looking for lunch and found out way here. Clean and new. Freindly staff. Food was out faster than we ordered. Tried the cheesy tots......little bland but good. Cheeseburger was as I remembered, thin patty, and way better than Rotten Rons. About to try the olive burger. It looked good and tasted like a memory. Prices like everything is up. Now to reopen a few more stores. Midlands old Hot N Now is vacant..... read more

Hot n Now - Hot n Now - Fast Food Near Me - Wayland, Michigan

Well, we waited about half an hour to 45 minutes. We got our olive burger, cheeseburger, hamburger, cheesy taters, and popcorn chicken. Oh, and I got the vanilla shake. Nothing was really like how I remembered it. I think the $.39 hamburger was worth it for what it was at that time. I don't think that you could've gotten a hamburger any cheaper than that. Now the hamburger cost $2.77 and a little bit more than McDonald's. The Olive burger was barely edible. There was so much sauce that I had to stop eating it and I just ate the hamburger instead. I mean it's disappointing and I would love for it to make a comeback and be the place that I once was but it just not. read more

Nice trip back down memory lane. Lived on These cheese burgers in college. Tastes the same :) price is a bit more than back then but so is gas and everything else. Service was fast and efficient looked spotless inside. I love being able to get Vernors ginger ale at fast food. read more

I have been stopping at the Sturgis location whenever I can so I was near GR and decided to stop. This location is NOT tied to Sturgis location and it shows. Menu was super simple and limited. Food wasn't bad but HnN olive burger not having lettuce, tomato and onions was off. Fries were not very good. It looks just like the old buildings and the drive thru moved pretty fast. I'll stop again but probably not to get the old HnN experience. read more

Hot n Now - Olive burger, here the HnN touch with lettuce, tomato and onion??! - Fast Food Near Me - Wayland, Michigan

This place blows. Worst food around. Tiny burgers on huge dry buns. Ordered a shake and it was the size of a shot glass. It's definitely not Hot n Now. It's a sad excuse for a restaurant let alone a Hot n Now. Vist Sturgis if you want real authentic Hot n Now. These Indians are delusional! This trash should not be fed to a dog. read more

I have to say it's just not the same as the original. The menu is pretty limited, and the food really lacks the flavor I remember. No lettuce, tomato, or onion either, which was disappointing. If you're looking for that classic Hot 'n Now taste, I'd definitely recommend making the trip to the Sturgis location instead. read more

The food is cold and it's more expensive than McDonalds. It used to be quick, hot, and cheap. This is not the same place it used to be.

Very slow service, food came out cold still somehow and fries were super undercooked. Disappointing because I loved the original locations way back in the day. They didn't even have Hot N Now bags, cups, or napkins. Seems very rushed and sadly just worse than any other fast food place out there. read more

Only good thing was fast service. Food was cold and not worth the time, effort, or energy.

So disappointed! This is NOT Hot 'n Now!!! So gross! Don't waste your time or money. Tastes like old cafeteria food...nothing like the one in Sturgis or that I remember from my childhood...bun very stale, dry burger, with a tiny flavorless "mystery meat" patty. Almost like it was made way in advance, or somewhere else and brought to the store...weird, because we didn't see any food being made and no "food-smell" coming from the store.... Fries and cheesy tots also had no flavor and nothing like the "real thing". Packaging is not even the same... IDK if they just weren't prepared to open and threw something together or what, but I won't be back to try again...also spent $50 for 2 kids, 2 adult, which I would have been fine with if it were the "real-deal". It was really bad. The service and lady that gave us our food was very nice though, so there's that. read more

I've never been to any Hot N' Now until today, so I don't have any nostalgic expectations. You can't go wrong with a $3 simple olive burger. There are no toppings, just a warm quality patty with bangin' olive sauce. The cheesey tots were crispy and warm, not a huge fan of the apple turnover; too soft. Bonus points for having Vernor's, the nectar of Michigan ginger sodas read more

Should be called Warm n Wait I'd heard so much about this new place , but I wasn't about to sit in the long line of cars I saw anytime I went by in its first few weeks. Yesterday I noticed just three cars in line and thought I'd give it a try. So disappointing. If you only have a few things on the menu, they should all be good. You could get a better double cheeseburger at an elementary school cafeteria. The fries were at best average. I have no idea what all the hype was about. There's a Culver's just down the road, won't wait in the slow line for another Warm n Wait burger and fries. read more

Seeing this place brought back childhood memories. I had to stop and try it , highly disappointed! This food was horrible I don't see how they are in business ,they need to try there food before they send it out the window read more

Don't waste Your $. What a total disappointment ! Overpriced, cold, too big bin for meat Ratio - taste Very Dry And stale. Fries We're Burnt with a terrible coating. Small Menu And 3 Items We're sold Out at Time Of visit. read more

this is my fourth time coming here. They're improving a lot better their food temperature. The cheesy tots are 100% good nice and crispy. And their service is so fast everything about it. It's spot on and good people And their popcorn chicken is delicious. Nice and crispy. Thanks logan read more

Food was nostalgic but cold considering I waited at least 30 minutes to get it. Literally 2 employees tried to stop me from ordering as I was walking up to the window to place an order. Even telling me drive thru has priority over walk ups. So we went through the drive thru and it didn't make much difference. We ordered 3 cheeseburgers and 2 fries and it took them over 30 minutes to fill it. At least 4 people were on staff so they weren't short staffed.They kept coming outside for random reasons but never to give the waiting customers their food. One of the employees actually came outside and went to the building (cafe) next to them, checked the doors then went back inside the restaurant, weird activity. Will say they should call themselves hot n later. Overall the grounds were clean and looked well kept, but if you have an hour to kill then go for it. Just know they're not the most welcoming bunch of employees. read more

Stopped here on the way back from our cottage by Gun Lake yesterday and just ordered some Fries. Should have known better since it was Friday the 13th. Driving down the highway headed home I reach into the bag and removed the fries and every single one was partially burnt and I don't mean brown but rather they were black like somebody tried to warm them up on an open flame. I ate (2) and they tasted like I was eating a piece of charcoal!! The entire order was inedible. They saw what they looked like when filling the container yet they chose to sell them to me anyway. Now I know why Hot n Now went out of business and this one being rated 2 stars wont be around long either. Save your money and go to McDonalds or Burger King at the very next exit up the highway you will be glad that you did!!! read more

Thought I would give it a try but nothing like I remembered! French fries, olive burger, double cheeseburger drinks and apple turnovers all nasty! Now I remember why you went out of business and why you will again! Oh yeah and my bill was $25. You have nothing worth eating goodbye! read more

When I tell you the food is horrible. I truly mean horrible. Food is cold and I mean all of it. Shut this crap down and go back to wherever you came from. Burger cold, fries cold. Olive Burger dressing cold. Nothing Hot about this place and the owners should be ashamed. I had to choose a Star, but Hot & Now you get Zero Stars. POS place read more

Went there last night since we wanted to take a trip down memory lane and the food wasn't hot and the cheesy tots tasted like an ashtray for some reason. The pop was delicious but tasted like root beer and pepsi mixed. Maybe the burger was just sitting under a heat lamp for awhile. read more

I went there last night after leaving gun lake. That whole drive thru is non sense. You have all that room and whoever built that right in and out wait until the winter time somebody is going to tear their car up. But the food. That food was NASTY. Cold and down right disgusting a double cheeseburger meal with cheesy tot and a shake and an olive burger. Was not worth 16.00 I threw that food in the garbage can. I don't know what kind of meat that was and their menu done have nothing on it compared to Sturgis this will be closed if they don't get better got food and a better menu. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING THERE!! You will be disappointed it's not like the old hot now we had in Kalamazoo... read more

The olive burger was a huge disappointment!! just olive spread, no ketchup /no lettuce nothing! the fries not great! no napkins or ketchup in the bag. This was a one and done. definitely not even close to the original. read more

Burnt fries/stale bun/dry beef patty and gray hair in food. Not worth the drive from Kalamazoo

We just got home and we are very disappointed, the food wasn't hot it wasn't fresh and it tasted baked not fried the cheese teasers we not good at all they claimed they're going back to the early 90's and only having on the menu what was there back then I don't remember cheese teaser being there but I do remember lettuce and tomatoes for hamburger toppings and I also remember it being fried not baked if I wanted a baked French fry I would have made them at home , the drive was 35 mins away we waited in line for an hour and they had someone outside taking orders and they still messed up and I didn't get everything I ordered we spent $60.00 for our family of 5 and we could have gotten better and cheaper at burger king or nasty McDonald's.. we will not be driving to wayland hot n now again we will stay going to the one in Sturgis mi. That food is always fresh , hot and fried .... I only did a 1 star because I had to read more
