Love it there. Bartenders and owners are awesome and so friendly and funny!! Always have an amazing time there

I was extremely disappointed that they only serve Mexican dishes, if tacos are the only Mexican dish available, once a week. The atmosphere and the building are very eclectic. That I enjoyed. Also, the many different hot sauces the offer were impressive. I had tortillas and homemade salsa and the giant rice ball. Options for the rice ball were either meat or veggie. I opted for the rice with veggies. All I was able to see were mushrooms and possible black olive inside.

Hot Mama's is the future of the neighborhood bar. Reasonable prices, combined with a welcoming atmosphere, good food, and great staff make this place a sure bet. Classic favorites fill their food menu, but all are cooked fresh and well. They have the best chicken fingers in WNY, freshly breaded and dressed. Sometimes when there is live music (most nights) it can be quite loud, but that is usually not until 8 or 9.

This neighborhood joint doesn't do enough to market itself, and it's a shame, because what they do right, they do really right! A well maintained shuffleboard table, decent live music, plenty of seating, outdoor seating (including both smoker-friendly and partially-enclosed non smoking areas), and lively bar staff.

Unfortunately, they seem to be sticking to some things that have not worked super well. A lackluster late night menu, an adherence to a co-branding arrangement with a hot sauce that doesn't make for the best wings (not that it stops them from pushing them). They used to do karaoke on Monday nights, but without a promotions budget, it just never took off. A shame because they really had the opportunity to make it a great karaoke spot for an underserved weeknight.
