The Hot House Tavern

Lots of friendly folks coming by to ask if we're ok. Food was really good. Atmosphere was fun, but a bit on the noisy side.

Pricey for what you get. Beer was off flavored and pretty flat. Haven’t seen $8.50 for a pint anywhere else in town. As for food, hot chicken sandwich was good. Service was great but wouldn’t recommend just for that.

Ordered take out. The chicken bacon ranch wrap and cheese curds were both really good. The burger wasn't stellar. Just a burger. Tasted and looked like it had been frozen. I would definitely eat here again, but I'd skip the burgers.

A total win for food, service and atmosphere. Great lunch option with clients, hanging with friends or whatever. Can't say enough good things about The Hot House Tavern!

I had the chicken sandwich and wife had the mango salad. Both were better than expected. Sandwich did not fall apart as I ate it and wife said salad had a lot of unusual ingredients not found in your typical salad. Definitely a do againer next time we are in the area.

Food 10/10, atmosphere 10/10. Our server Jayden B was 100/10. Best possible service. Thanks, Jayden!

For Father’s Day we headed to Hot House Tavern in Menomonee Falls Downtown, Wisconsin and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!🔥

This spot is inside a beautifully restored old fire station 🚒 with garage-style doors, a long bar, lots of TVs, and a super cool vibe. We picked a great day too because they were giving out free hats for dad’s big win for my stepdad!

We started with the Parmesan Onion Straws and OMG… these are a must-order. So crispy, so flavorful we could’ve eaten a whole plate by ourselves 🤤🧅

I went with their famous Spicy Chicken Tenders 🍗 and YES the hype is real! Hand-breaded, perfectly fried, crispy outside, juicy inside — seriously some of the best tenders I’ve had. I got the pub chips (they were okay, just could’ve used a little more seasoning) and the coleslaw had an interesting twist to it but still good! Washed it all down with a Dr Sprecher’s 😋

My stepdad got the hot wings 🔥 and they were HUGE. Super meaty, fall-off-the-bone, and full of flavor. My mom ordered the Caesar Chicken Wrap and said it was really tasty great portion size, she couldn’t even finish it!

Shoutout to our server Micah who was awesome 🙌 Friendly, professional, and super attentive made our visit even better 👏

✨Overall, Hot House Tavern is the perfect mix of cool atmosphere, amazing food, and top-tier service. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to! If you’re in the area make sure to check this place out 👍🏻

Hot House is truly in a league of its own. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that this place isn’t just about the food or the ambiance—it’s about an experience that’s truly elevated by their exceptional hospitality. The staff goes above and beyond in every possible way. I was blown away by how accommodating they were, anticipating my needs before I even had to ask. It’s rare to find a team so in sync, and it speaks volumes about the strong culture they’ve cultivated here. Every interaction, no matter how small, was met with genuine warmth and attentiveness. They’re not just serving customers; they’re creating lasting, meaningful connections. It’s refreshing to see a business so tuned in to the needs of its guests. Clearly, Hot House knows the importance of putting people first, and it shows in every detail. The standard they set for hospitality should be the benchmark for the industry. An absolute must-visit!

Highly recommend! Our large party (including 4 children and a 4mo old baby) was seated very quickly, the food was amazing and our waiter (I believe his name was Tavian?) was exceptionally friendly, attentive and personable. Overall a great experience!

They work to provide gluten-free items.

Super inconsistent food.

One visit it might be amazing and the next visit absolutely terrible. For the prices they charge this is unacceptable.

Service here has always been terrible. Long waits and the waitstaff is generally clueless about their own menu options.

Awesome atmosphere. Basically the only thing this place has going for it.

Spend your money elsewhere.

We come to hot house all of the time, I love thier food and the service is normally around 3 stars, but we came tonight and were told a 25 minute wait- 2 HOURS later we came to ask how long and still 25 minutes, I ask how long to see if I want to eat there, not to be lied to… honestly worst experience at a restaurant ever. Will not be back.
