    Great food. Great service. 100% Recommended. Visited here with a coworker after reading some of the reviews. Was not disappointed. Friendly staff. Quickly seated. Cheese curds were great. Had the Tuesday hot chicken dark meat two piece with the sauce on, shaken vs on the side. Excellent!!! My best meal while visiting this week. Highly recommended.

    I love all things EMS related, especially fire related. This place used to be an old fire house, when you walk in you see old turnout gear. Old hose, they even have the same bay doors from back in the day. I could careless if the food sucked, the atmosphere is more than enough to keep me coming. Okay anyways, the food doesn’t suck. Even though the waitress got my order wrong she was so sweet, and the food was definitely good. I’ll definitely be back!

    Tempura cheese curds were amazing! Shrimp taco was OK... I was not expecting for the coleslaw to have a smokey flavor. Was told the salmon was delish. Good service! No coke products :(

    Noisy Monday night. Food was incredible and the atmosphere was good. Big crowd and everyone seemed to be enjoying. I went for something different, cauliflower tacos and the house Brussel sprout hash. Really excellent. Tried two local ipa’s. Great beer selection as well.

    If you're coming here to watch a game, you'll have a good amount of TVs to view from, especially sitting at the bar. TVs were loud. As soon as we walked into the main area of the restaurant, we could hear the sounds resonating from all the TVs. It filled up the entire space. We were also seated right underneath some TVs too. Probably wasnt the best choice because theyre loud and, having to speak over them, we felt like we were shouting at each other. We came here specifically for the bloody mary - disappointing.  All we tasted was salt. It was difficult to drink and hard to finish. Definitely not worth it if you want a bloody mary. Cheese curds were also salty, even with their Hot House ranch dip. Not worth $11. The Chophouse Salad was okay. Didnt care for the pickles. The Sunflower Pesto Pasta with chicken was plain, bland, dry, and not worth $18. The menu selection is mediocre. We had a difficult time making a decision on what we had wanted with the choices we had. Nothing seemed to really peak our interests.  There wasn't much of a wait for the food, it came out promptly. A shoutout to our waiter, Jayden, who did a superb job at waiting our table. The overall experience is meh, nothing that'll make us come back for more. Most likely, will not be back.

    My wife, my daughter and son in law stopped in for dinner. We ordered the cheese curds for an appetizer. They were legitimately the best cheese curds I’ve ever had. They were served with a spicy ranch that was on point. 5/5 - no room for improvement. I ordered the Hot House chicken sandwich and my wife ordered the bacon chicken ranch wrap. The sandwich had little heat but not bad - the breast was generously sized and crispy. Served with a very fresh bun. The flavor was outstanding, 5/5 The restaurant was packed but we were attended to promptly and with attentive service. 5/5 I will definitely be back here, I was blown away at the fare.

    I placed an order for pick up for the two piece white meat Hot House, fried chicken. The description reads: bone-in chicken, spicy Hot House dip, pickle chips, classic slaw, choice of side. However, the chicken didn’t come with any sauce, but it was so spicy that no one in my family could stand to eat it. Also, the french fries were drenched in what was probably supposed to be the spicy sauce, which, was terrible. Maybe I was expected to know that the sauce came on the chicken rather than on the side but I feel like it should be clarified. But what I’m more upset about; is, instead of fried chicken I received four piece chicken, tenders. (No bone) If I wanted chicken tenders I would have ordered that, not fried chicken . I don’t want to bash the service though, the woman on the phone was very kind and helpful overall. This wasn’t my only bad experience here but the worst. Update, I called the restaurant and they confirmed that I definitely got the wrong thing and had nothing more to say about it and hung up.

    I’m in love!!! I’d like to consider myself a regular at hot house and never have I had something so good! It’s the cauliflower tacos off their winter seasonal menu. I was a little hesitant because I’ve never had something like this before but it was so delicious and filling! Definitely coming back soon just for those tacos

    Super cute both inside and outside. Outdoor seating ~ was raining when I went here otherwise I definitely would have opted for sitting outside. Friendly staff. The waitress was attentive. Very clean restrooms. Great food and great service. I had a chicken and bacon wrap with sweet potatoe fries. Generous portions. I definitely had leftovers. The music was a bit loud which made talking to others tough but nonetheless the atmosphere was awesome. Has a bar area and many tvs. Parking lot is pretty small. I recommend going here and giving it a try!

    Went with a group and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. The spacious open seating floor plan laid out in the old firehouse makes this place interesting enough. Multiple large screen TVs carry a wide range of sports. With the station garage doors open and a nice breeze blowing through on a Saturday afternoon, its a refreshing place to enjoy a great Memphis style chicken sandwich or a burger or appetizers. An exciting drink selection and enthusiastic wait staff make "The Hot House Tavern" a great spot in Germantown to enjoy a great meal with friends.

    First time at Hot House and really enjoyed the delicious food. Perch was excellent as well as all the sides. My date liked the crunchy chicken wrap and said the fries were the best ever. Our server was perfect! Great place, clean, interesting & super location. Just a tad too loud, but that won't keep us away. Keep doing what you're doing...it's working. Great staff!!
