Hotplates Ensley Reviews
Food is excellent, My picture is blurry but that’s my fault.. Trust me the food is Worth the drive.
I ordered the salmon Philly took a bite and it was so I set and ate it while I had another one cooking, came back and got the Alfredo 🔥🔥🔥. I plan to visit soon for the grits
Had the Chicken Fettuccine asked to make it spicy. Chicken was perfect the sauces was amazing. Staff was super friendly and chill. Love finding this hidden gems.
The salmon and shrimp Alfredo was delicious & perfectly prepared. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving a flavorful seafood meal. I'll definitely be returning for more.
My wife and I went tonight wanting a quality burger, and they did NOT disappoint! If you go to this establishment, you'll never go back to a fast food burger place again! Very friendly owner. Very friendly atmosphere. Can't wait to go back and try more of their food!!!
This is the best quesadilla I had in my life. Everyone was chill and happy to be there, and the girl at the front counter is very pretty. 😌 There was a mistake on my order, but they offered to make me a new plate right then. Overall excellent food; love to see a small business success.
My brother and I stopped by! Food was great… oh boy that Alfredo was so creamy and delicious. Crab meat and shrimp were well seasoned. The gentleman and the woman working there were very sweet. Def coming back .
I got the shrimp Alfredo. It was delicious, cooked to order. My husband had the cheeseburger it was on point too. The food was hot and fresh, the owner was friendly and attentive. Wishing you much success on your business.
Better than I could have imagined. Today was my first visit. The salmon quesedilla was delicious. I got it plain no ranch & no salsa.
I had seen videos of this place on Tic Tok. We decided to give it a try. The food was absolutely unbelievable. 10 out of10. The staff was very friendly. The location wasn't the most pleasant but the food made up for it. Best meal I have eaten in months.
My friend and I visited here after seeing a review on Yelp. We do not live on this side of town and drove about 15 minutes to get here. Here are my thoughts: Pros: Alfredo had a good taste. Plate was heavy, albeit mostly noodles. Philly was made with whole chunks of steak and not ground meat. Plenty of seating inside. Soothing music played on the speakers. Coho or sockeye salmon was used, so chef didn't skip the health benefits of wild-caught fish. Cons: Philly looked to be missing the toppings. One portion looked like it was missing meat. Paid $9 more to add 3 stems of broccoli and 1 piece of chopped grilled chicken. I asked for my salmon to be cooked well done, but it was not due to the cashier typing "well done" under the broccoli add on. Meal was kinda pricey and while I did not mind paying for what I want...the amount of additional food vs the cost didn't add up. $4 for 3 stems of broccoli isn't right. One day, if we are in the area, I may return to try something different on the menu. Don't take my word for it. Try this restaurant out and leave a review on what you think.
Seen restaurant on Tik Tok and what I seen there was not at restaurant. Very pricey (52.00 not including tip) for some non eye appealing food. Ordered rice bowl with shrimp (4pcs) crab (still looking for it) and broccoli. Wife ordered chicken Philly (burnt) with fries they were seasoned well but I needed paper towels for the grease. I do try to promote my brothers and sisters businesses faithfully but This time I will have to pass on a return visit.
The pasta was good but the steak was chewy and for $22 it wasn't worth it! My wife had the salmon and shrimp but didn't receive the shrimp! Based on the replies to reviews this business won't be open longer anyway cause the owner has to be slow or something!!
