Mannnnn.... I remember eating here as a kid, some 30 years ago. I can't believe they were open on the 4th of July! SCORE! This is the last Hot n Now left in existence, BUT I've heard thru the grapevine that they're actually making a comeback and opening more locations! My mom lives here back in Sturgis again... When we would come visit my aunts and uncles, we would stop here, some 30+ years ago, and it's just as I remember it. Being from Reno Nevada, when I come visit my mom, I try NOT to eat here, because I try to stay away from carbs, but I had to give in after an internal 3 day battle. I always forget what I ordered from the last visit, because it's usually years apart. This time (and probably last) I ordered the "Big Hot" with fries. It was perfect and sloppy, just how I like it. The fries were good, and I ordered fried pickles. They were a little greasy but super good. The menu is also very fairly priced. For the trash I would get at 5 guys for just me, I was able to buy 2 combo meals The lady who took my order and money was super sweet. I don't remember what iit looks like inside, and come to think of it, I don't know if I've ever even been! I hope they DO open more! Ill see y'all next time! ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

It's Hot n Now! Had a triple cheeseburger which was surprisingly good, fries were mediocre at best. Would not recommend the chicken pieces way sub par. Usually a line in the drive thru but it moves fast. I will say I was happy that even with a big order it was all there and done correctly. This beats most large fast food chain's as the can somehow mess up you order repeatedly. No dine in available read more

Was looking forward to having Hot N Now. It was now but it surely wasn't hot. It was the most disgusting mushroom Swiss burger I had ever seen in my life. My friend ordered an olive burger and she didn't know it came with cheese but evidently there's does. We go back thru the drive thru and they wanted her to just take the cheese off. They actually made her another one but said they won't remake the mushroom Swiss cause there wasn't anything wrong with it. Yeah there was IT WASNT HOT! The cheese was not even slightly melted like it would have been if the burger was hot. They surely don't live up to there name it should be Cold and Disgusting not Hot n Now! If you want something hot order the fries or cheese curds since they have to deep fry them. read more

Exactly as I remember! So delicious! Wish this would come back! Need to reopen these restaurants again! Great food!

I've been wanting to stop at the last Hot 'n Now and it did not disappoint. Upon arriving, there were 8 or 9 vehicles ahead of us. We were sure it would take awhile, but they are very efficient here. We were out of there within 15 minutes. Everything still tastes the same as it did back when this was a thriving burger chain. The fries are still nice and crispy. The ketchup, mustard and pickle combo on the double cheeseburger here just hits different than other burger chains. The prices were not bad considering the amount of food we purchased. I wish there were more of these around, but for now we will have to make the stop in Sturgis when we are nearby. read more

psa. do not go to the sturgis hot and now!!! i just had an 80 dollar order which included a 12 inch hair in a pizza burger!!!! called them and all they would say is "we will replace the pizza burger" give a break!!!! no one wanted to eat any of that food! go at your own risk! monday morning the hair and sandwich will be going to the health department read more

The "grilled chicken deluxe" was really bad. We also didn't get the ketchup, mustard, and pickles that the menu said it comes with. My boyfriend and I couldn't eat it. We had to get Taco Bell next door instead. read more

Hot'n Now - "Grilled chicken" - Fast Food Near Me - Sturgis, Michigan

Still the same food after all these years! Loved it!! I had a cheeseburger and a mushroom and Swiss and of course I had an order of fries. Other reviews recommend the breaded mushrooms but I can't recommend them based on what I received. read more

Not quite the olive burger I recall, but I'm glad they're keeping this tradition alive. Mushroom Swiss was surprisingly good. Wish I would have ordered a bag full. Super impressed with the cashier at the window. She handled my weird order without blinking. read more

This place is really really solid. As a non midwesterner, i came across this gem on a cross country roadtrip and thank god i did. Come to find its the last one left in existence! This place is your typical fastfood burger joint but the ingredients just taste better than your burger king or McDonalds. Burger was good but the french fries were on another level. Wish they would bring one of these to the east coast. Highly recommend over the culvers and mcdonalds down the street! read more

So, there's a reason this is the only location left in America. The food is complete garbage!!!!!!! The fries were nasty, and the 'Grilled Chicken Deluxe' was merely a rubber frozen patty slathered in mayonnaise. One bite and I immediately had to throw it out. Never coming here again... read more

Best. Memory. Ever! Fries were fantastic. Service was top notch. Inexpensive and delicious. Win. read more

Drive--thru burger joint. Last in country, according to spouse. Excellent prices. Crispy fish sandwich with crisp lettuce. A bit thin on the fish but the flavor was nice to me. A large styrofoam cup for my water for 20 cents. The deep fried fresh mushrooms were delicious. Check person was very pleasant and suggested the ranch dressing dip for the mushroom. Sandwiches were wrapped in whitish paper like in the old days. Nice memory for me. A very nice experience as we drove 3.5 hours to visit this place. (Our choice). We're too hungry, no photos. read more

This is the last standing Hot'n Now in the state of Michigan. At their highest point they had about 150 locations scattered throughout the state back in the 90's. Brings me so many great memories. I had to go for the triple stacker with extra Pickle, it was fire! Exactly as I remembered it. Patties were grilled to perfection, fries were nice and crispy, insanely good! One of the best burgers I've ever had. I always swing by when my route takes me by here, you should too. read more

Hot'n Now - W/Extra Pickle, it was fire!!! - Fast Food Near Me - Sturgis, Michigan

Found this spot while in from out of town. Very good food at a good price. Very odd building, which is fun to see. Will visit agin!

Last one in the U.S.!!! We go once a year to celebrate my sons birthday all the way from Flint to Sturgis, but worth the trip, we drive through and always spend over A hundred dollars, getting like 25 items, and they always get it right!! Food is standard fast food fare, but done right, a a huge variety to chose from, I wish mcdonalds and wendys would take some notes from them. read more

Love that there's one remaining and how busy it was on a Tuesday at 2pm. Cheese "taters" are something that I remember from my childhood very well. read more

Their food is great. Best Olive Burger anywhere! I also enjoy the clam strips. I recommend Hot'n Now!

Wow.. Back in the 90s, these places were everywhere, apparently this is the last remaining location in the entire world. Located in Sturgis Michigan, the place does not show any signs of shutting down soon... Long line in the drive-through, but still relatively quick service. We were relatively put off by a couple of employees sitting in the parking lot smoking and spitting in full view of the customers,But we got over that and placed our order, and man where we happy. The burgers are really really tasty, the buns are soft but toasted, I strongly recommend this place if you're in the area, or even if you want to make a road trip to experience the last remaining hot 'n now in the world... It's still drive-through only just like it was back in the day, but definitely a good burger... We will come back again read more

We enjoy coming here for a quick, inexpensive bite. I wouldn't say their food is outstanding, but it hits the spot just the same. We love their cheesy tots with a side of ranch, the fries are usual crisp. We generally get cheeseburgers & hotdogs. They also have a pretty good pepsi freeze! read more

We stopped here because it's the last one around. I think I vaguely recall the one in downtown Kalamazoo years ago. Pretty basic and actually not too shabby. Husband got the double burger meal with fries and soda, I had to try the cheesy tots and a single cheeseburger. Nothing ultra-fantastic, but not bad, either. I bought him a t-shirt to commemorate our visit. read more

I had a restaurant.com gift certificate and was told by the new owner of this burger joint that they don't accept them anymore. I proceeded to tell her that they are still active on the restaurant.com site and by not taking my certificate, it's false advertising. If you are a gm or especially an owner of a restaurant, you need to do everything in your power to have the customer leave happy and have them come back. Well, you lost a customer. There is nothing but fast food in Sturgis so I have many options to choose from. I don't care if this is the last Hot n Now on Earth or in the universe, I won't be returning. Regarding the food, I got home and my burgers and fries were cold and I live nearby. Fail read more

I only went because I heard that they were the last store of 150 that used to be open. I can see why the others closed. My burger patties were luke warm and the cheese was not melted at all. If the meat was hot and the cheese was melted it would have been much better. The fries were warm and not terrible. No reason to go back. With Culver's and Wendy's on the same block. read more

Hot'n Now - Triple Cheeseburger with Bacon - Fast Food Near Me - Sturgis, Michigan

Traveled 2.5 hrs through the backroads of Amish country to get to this glorious and last standing Hot N Now. It was just as amazing as I'd remembered, and worth the scenic drive. Cheesy taters- on point. Fries- best you've ever had. Large strawberry milkshake- enough to put you into a diabetic coma, and suffer from a lactose overdose even if you're not lactose intolerant. Seriously, who needs 32oz of MILKSHAKE??? My lord. Choked down every last drop though. So worth it. Please, never close, my precious and rare gem. We'll meet again one day. read more

Good old fashioned food, nice service and nostalgia inducing building, their burgers are like I used to get in the early 90's, I think we need to protect this joint. read more

Hot and now is great. They always seem to get your order right. And your food is always hot n now Unlike other fast foods where your order is wrong or food is stoned cold read more

I'm glad that this is still around. I grew up on their double cheeseburgers. They provide simple food, fast. I just wish they would go back to the simpler menu. Do the burgers and do them well. read more

Was told this place is the last of its kind so I had to try it. Food was tasty and service was super quick even with the line wrapped around the building. Prices are reasonable compared to other fast food places in the area. Diverse menu selection. read more

LOVE THEIR FRIED PICKLES!! The cheese taters are good too! If your from out of town it's a must stop!

We came about an hour out of our way for Hot'nNow. My husband grew up with this place having many locations, and now Sturgis is the last one. The cheeseburger is very similar to a McDonald's single cheese (which I happen to like). The uniqueness of Hot'nNow for me is really in the different fried treats. We had both cheese teasers and jalapeño poppers. Both were piping hot, full of gooey cheese, and wonderfully chopped ingredients. If you're going to drive out of your way to this place for a burger, make sure you get a variety of the fried side options. And if you don't like McDonald's single cheeseburgers, I would recommend you pass on the burger at Hot'nNow and explore the rest of their fairly extensive menu. Also to note, this is just a drive thru, so you won't have a table to eat at. If you roll up with your dogs with you, they have dog treats too! read more

Hot'n Now - Jalapeño poppers! Must have! - Fast Food Near Me - Sturgis, Michigan

Honestly I couldn't be happier with a burger joint. I always get a mushroom burger and a milkshake and my wife always gets their chicken sandwich with a sprite. Hands down the best restaurant around this area! You cant beat their prices or quality of food! read more

This place holds a special spot in my heart. It was a staple for me and my friends in the early 90's. Prices are higher now. No $0.39 burgers but food is still decent. read more

Was on our way to Chicago and decided to try this blast from the past. Food tasted exactly like it did 20 years ago, fries nice and hot and salty, burgers good, glad to see it's still around read more

Exactly as I remembered, great food from my highschool years. If you are in the area, make sure to make a stop, it'll bring you back.

There is a reason that 150 or whatever of the locations closed , they are horrible. The meat smelled and tasted rancid , couldnt eat after first bite. All the positive reviews are all people that remember the place being good 30 years ago , well so was mcdonalds. We all know McDs poor quality and these are far and beyond 10X worse. threw all the food out and went down the road to culvers. Even those I rate this place a -5 , I encourage people to go there and try for yourself the worst burger you will ever have. please rate them on yelp maybe they will close down with 100% good reason. read more

Last one left anywhere! Worth a stop. Good fresh food and reasonable prices. I've had a lot of their items and all were good. Shakes are fantastic! read more

what can I say about Hot'n Now that hasn't already been said by millions? people come up to me in the streets and ask "what's it like living 20 minuets away from the last Hot'n Now in the world?" i answer, "a privilege, a blessing from god, a blessing to america, i wake up every morning and go.. wow, i am a lucky boy." - okay burgers, it's the only piece of culture in sturgis(my adopted home town) gotta hype it up. read more

Hot'n Now is a mandatory stop anytime we find ourselves in Sturgis. Brings back so many memories of childhood! Can't go wrong with a double cheeseburger with bacon, and the cheesy potato popper things were good (got those instead of the usual fries). I'm from South Bend, IN so it's not a terribly far drive, but only make it there maybe once a year. Hope it stays open, as it's the last one in existence. read more

This is the one and only! Love the jalapeño poppers and the chicken wraps. The variety of shakes are yummy too.

Good food for fair prices. I loved the olive burger. Nice that everything is fixed fresh.
