    Best wings in the 209 - yeah, I said it. We are talking fresh, crispy, sAucy, juicy, no frills freaking chicken wangs. Lemon pepper, sweet chili, nash hot...bone in, boneless: however you chicken wing, The Hot Spot is not disappointing. The menu is uncomplicated. You got your wing options, standard sides, and they also offer cheesestakes. Not gonna lie, prices are a lil steep. 10 boneless for $14 dollars, no side or drink but hey, you cannot put price on quality. I usually go for the 6 piece boneless combo for $13 or the buffalo chicken fries for $14. They offer great deals for larger orders, check out their Insta for specials (@thehotspot209). I always made it a point to head to the Tarmac whenever The Hot Spot truck is parked there. Come to find out, they have a whole ass brick and mortar in downtown Merced!!!! Best discovery of 2023. This spot is located between Main Street and I. A good deal of street parking is available. I want to say this downtown location only offers outdoor seating with plenty of shade. These summer temps are brutal so if you don't feel like waiting, be sure to call in your order. Everything is made fresh to order so depending on what you get and how busy they are, there will be a wait. For a small order for myself, I typically wait 12-15 minutes. I heard they just got their liquor license, so I am very excited to pair my wings with a brewkies. Now let's end this 5 star review talking about their 5 star service! My favorite thing about dining local is how passionate business owners and staff are about the product they put out. Everyone here is so friendly, accommodating and are even more of the reason to come back and support.

    Had the lemon pepper. Sweet chili, and bbq wings. The boneless sweet chili was good. The bbq good. The lemon pepper no. Ordered a cheese steak sandwich it was very salty and the buns were burnt black too much I had to eat it without the buns, didn't even finish it because too salty. I would stick to just the bbq & sweet chili wings.

    wings! lemmon pepper and buffalo

    BEST WINGS IN TOWN. I've been eating The Hot Spot ever since COVID days when you'd meet up with them in a parking lot and get your wings. They have always been super friendly and the food is always delicious. I crave their wings all the time. Please go eat there! You will not regret it!

    Hmmm , it's a wing stop . Limited flavors . The wings taste fresh made . I don't think I'll be back . But if you want to eat local owned wings it's ok . The service was friendly. Clean spot .

    First time here, don't know what I was expecting. Satisfied with the service satisfies with the food. This place is more like a drive-in restaurant like a mama pop store.

    The wings are amazing! The customer service is great too. There isn't any indoor seating, but plenty of tables outside.
