Hot Mess

This review is going to be short not because the food or atmosphere is bad. I just wanted to let everyone I put these up against any onion rings I have eaten in Columbus. They are very thin battered, and always crispy with a nice bite of onion. If your in Hilliard and want a quick snack this is my go to. Whatever you do get the large portion, you won't be let down.

Located in the Hilliard Market this is a good place to grab food and it can be ordered online. They have burgers, chicken sandwich and fries mostly. On this visit we ordered a grilled chicken, fries and a pulled pork sandwich. All were cooked well and had good flavor.

Delicious burgers and fries! I love everything about the food and the menu options. All the burgers automatically come as a double patty but you can order a "mini" burger which only has one. We got the Big Mick and Classic burger. The Big Mick is more flavorful than the classic but I loved how perfectly the flavors merged in the classic burger. I don't think you can go wrong with whatever flavor you choose. Additionally, the fries were perfectly crispy. We came at a very busy time of day and got our order within 20 minutes. They have specials too which are not advertised on the website. They had a fried shrimp basket when I went which I almost ordered! So keep an eye out for their new additions.

I didn't know that the bologna sandwich was a big deal in Ohio or maybe it's just Columbus area, but it's a big deal here in many places seem to have a bologna sandwich. This place uses an amazing slab of bologna. The sandwich was really good and I would definitely recommend it. The combination of the bologna, cheese and the mustard is just awesome. Really enjoyed it.

Got my first chance to visit the Market inside Crooked Can for dinner the other day (a Friday evening.) Pretty cool spot and a great addition in Hilliard. It was cold so we didn't sit outside but I bet the huge outdoor area is awesome in warmer weather! As you'd expect it to be in a Friday around dinner, it was busy and the acoustics inside the market make it almost impossible to have a conversation and the tables (mostly shared 6-tops) fill up quickly. We tried the jalapeño mushroom burgers and they have double patties. Pretty good value for money at about $11. The flavor was good but I'd love more jalapeños. The cheese is insanely good, too. For sure get something with this cheese!For me, the basket of fries was the star of the show. Nicely crunchy and the large is big enough to share. The flavor though... SO good!! Even if you're just heading out to grab beers with friends, I feel like I would always get these fries. They're that tasty!All in all good experience and tasty food. I'd get it again the next time I find myself in Hilliard!

Been following on the gram because I knew I would be in CBUS. Center street market is a must stop and Hot Mess is the business.... Got the bourbon burger and little guy got the tenders and fries. The burger was JUST as good as it looks. I devoured it in a min flat... walk don't run.

Burger was delicious as were the fries, but it didn't agree with me or my wife and we both ended up sick for days.. I would probably not go back, unless it was to get out of going somewhere the following day.. in which case it's perfect for that..

Fast service, great burgers! When you order with no bun, burger is served on a bed of lettuce, which is nice.

This place is inside the crooked can. We got a burger, spicy chicken sandwich and chicken tenders. The tenders were ENORMOUS and the fries were crisp and yummy too. The sandwich was also pretty good. The only thing I would change is to have less gristle or fat (some pieces should have definitely been cut off). Other than that everything was pretty good.

I am sort of perplexed why this place is not straight fives! I got the shroom burger and fries. It was one of the best burgers I've had in ages. The burgers were fairlythick and had the best crust from the grill ever. The cheese and toppings were perfect. The fries were good but not quite as hot and crisp as I would have liked. But this is a burger review and there's only so much you can say about a burger except: one of the very best in town! Makes me like burgers again!!
