This place is effing nasty I ordered the 5 wing (buffalo) 5 shrimp 1 Whiting combo meal for 18.99 4 piece whole wings 5.99 coleslaw 3.49 1 key lime cake slice. First all everything taste like fish cooked in stale grease so you know the fries tasted like ass. The fish was too fishy have y'all ever heard of putting lemon juice on it so the fish don't taste like it's still flopping? You're welcome! The coleslaw taste and smell like Pennies. Please look up what it mean when that happens. Wanted to take it back so they could smell it themselves but wasn't worth the energy I mean they gotta couple reviews with 5 stars so I guess it's good enough for yall. Cake was the worst key lime flavor I ever tasted it tasted more like a lemon that's not even trying. *** ppl please start posting more honest reviews I wasted time and money on this place read more

This **might** be a HOOVER HIDDEN GEM. I need to try it again to really be sure, but the food was so good, I was whisper cussin. I was like HOW HAVE I NEVER BEEN HERE???!!! We shared the Philly and fries and the street corn thing and I was so sad that I agreed to share. Especially that street corn thing. It was SO GOOD! The bun on the Philly is what made it (as is usually the case!) the fries are like the kind you get at the ballpark- and they came out so hot! Room temperature ketchup is perfect on these but there's other sauces available. They have boba tea and it made the restaurant have the most wonderful smell (even though I don't even like boba tea!) I will definitely be back, but I'm tentatively claiming this to be a GEM. Do not share food with your partner, go ahead and get your own!! read more

Visited HotSpot Hoover for the 2nd time today. The first time I went with my wife on 06-29-25. We ordered wings (sweet & sour and hot honey bbq), catfish, shrimp, pork chop, and Cajun Ranch Cheese fries. The food was fresh and hot. My wife commented her shrimp was fried too hard. The fruit drinks/punches were less sweet than we are accustomed to. Today, I went with my youngest daughter. She ordered the Cafe Cloud Boba. She enjoyed it. She also had the 6 piece Jamaican Jerk wings combo with Cajun Ranch Cheese fries. She liked it. I ordered the 10 piece wing combo with Cajun Ranch Cheese fries. We both like how they layer the ranch and cheese on the fries. It is not just on the top. I ordered the dry lemon pepper and the wet Jamaican Jerk. They were out of wet Jamaican Jerk. I then substituted it for dry Jamaican Jerk. I wish they both had a little more seasoning on them. Other than that they were good. Friendly customer service. Good ambiance. Clean bathroom. I like that they have a reward program and that they are open on Sunday. They are now my 1B wing spot. My 1A wing spot (J Wings Bessemer is closed on Sunday). read more

I always see a lot of people come in here and have been wanting to stop by. Customer service was good. I ordered the $7.99 2 piece catfish special with fries. The wait wasn't long at all. The fries were seasoned and delicious. The catfish was lacking on seasoning in most parts. I probably wouldn't get that again but I would try something else from their menu. No rush to come back though. You can get a 10% discount if you follow them on social media and leave a google review. read more

I tried the daily special of two fried catfish filets for 6.99. The catfish filets were very large. They were cooked to order so piping hot. For my side I ordered onion rings. The rings were a generous portion, and again fried-to-order so served piping hot. Kudos for hot food and large quantity. The ambiance and service is very simple. Counter order, self-service drink station, and bus you own table. My experience was okay, it is convenient and fast. But I don't think I would go out of my way to dine here. read more

HotSpot Hoover - Fried catfish w/onion rings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Stopped in for a mid week lunch. Hardly anyone in the place. Located about 25 yards from the Chic Filet on Montgomery Hwy, HotSpot is a hole in the wall. Decor is quite simple with college flags/banners on the walls. There are about 10 4 top tables to choose from with a self serve soda and lemonade/ punch dispenser on one wall. They remind me of the place Wings are King in Hoover. They have a large and varied menu with a little bit of everything from burgers, gyros, fried fish, to wings. Paul C and I got their fried catfish. After getting our own drinks and sitting, we were called to counter to pick up our food. They were served in simple styrofoam containers. Everything was disposable including the cutlery. The two large filets of catfish were steaming hot and tasted on par. I've had worse fried catfish. I had a generous portion of fried okra fried from frozen but again they taste on par. I tried some of Paul's fried onion rings which also tasted okay. If you see the trend you can guess that a good portion of their menu is fried from frozen. Oh both our meals came with a slice of white bread. The atmosphere was quiet while we were there and the food was on par. Because of its location near me I may revisit just to check out their wings. read more

I only tried the fried whole wings. They were good. The best in town is still Jakes Soul Food but these were good too. They are small, not a lot of meat but they were well seasoned. I think I asked for extra crispy but these were lightly breaded. They had some good simple spices on them. I asked for Buffalo sauce on the side but was told they only have hot sauce packets. Decent price $12 for 6 whole wings fried fresh. I'll be back to try other stuff. It was solid and good. Will update later. read more

HotSpot Hoover - Fried whole wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

I came here because my sister said they had some good wings. So I went inside to order. There wasn't anyone there but it was raining. It's very clean inside and spacious. They have a lot on their menu from chicken, wings, fish, and even dessert. The service didn't take long and the food is made to order. The staff was friendly and quick. I ordered Honey BBQ wings and Cajun fries. They even had juice, so I got the punch, and it was good. I really enjoyed the food, and even though it wasn't busy, I'll definitely come here, especially when football season returns. So if you are in the mood for some, please stop by. read more

Really fast service. I really wanted this place to be amazing. They are probably trying to sort things out since they are getting on social media. Wings and fries were lacking crispness. Even asked for crispy. If you are going to be a chicken wing place......MAKE YOUR OWN RANCH!!!! Hidden valley ain't it ! read more

Yelp you came by recommendation. You are the new kid on the block in Hoover. Upon entry, you are clean and smelling good. Today is Wednesday and daily specials are pork chops and fries or 2 piece catfish and fries for 6.99! Yelp! A steal indeed. And, folks are buzzing about your pork chop sandwiches and wings. Today, they are on special. Mommy and I got one of each. She got the pork chop special and I got the catfish special. We decided to split it. Oh wow, catfish is fried to perfection but it just taste okay. However, pork chops are amazing. Catfish taste like Swai. We are fish lovers, so we can easily tell the difference. DeeDee wanted to try your egg rolls and declared YUCK at the look of them. She couldn't eat them. Mommy bit one and said gross. Y'all are so nice here, but we come for this food. I want to try your wings, so, I'll be back. read more

Remember when you were a kid and had played at the ball field or playground all day, and wanted nothing more than to just have a cheeseburger with your friends from the concession stand before going home? This ambiance is like that. Nothing super fancy, but hits the spot if you want a cheeseburger and some fries. Everything was cooked to order, served hot and quickly. The okra was large pieces fried when ordered, same with nearly everything else. Staff was also friendly. Plenty of drink and food options. We had three combos, all with drinks and spent only around $30. read more

The whole wings mild lemon pepper with Cajun ranch fries is always . Customer service isn't the worst I've experienced but it definitely makes me wonder why I continue to patron this restaurant. But then I member how good the food is lol. The restaurant is also always clean (as far as the dining area is concerned). All in all. If you love wings like I do this is the place for you. But don't expect friendly staff. read more

Good food and fast delivery. Will order again. I ordered the fish filets and the pork chops. Both were fried to perfection and tasty.

I had the lamb gyros n French fries and all was absolutely delicious. Meat was tender n flavorful, fries cooked fresh to order! My mother-in-law had fried fish n okra. Was also very good and enough okra to feed her for about 4 meals! Great place to eat!! Will definitely eat here again on the next trip through Birmingham read more

Great hamburger and the chicken fingers were really good also. Definitely give it a shot if you like, I kind of food.
