I’ve eaten here twice now, once to go and again today in person, and everything tasted really good both times. The food doesn’t look like a whole lot, but it’s very calorically dense and super filling. Last time I had the Nutella milkshake and it was rich and delicious. Today I tried their lunch special burger which was a regular cheeseburger, and after adding toppings it came out to $18 just for the burger. They have kiosks where you can place your order or you can scan a QR code to pull up the menu on your phone and order from there. The server just brings the food to your table, which is an interesting setup. They also have self serve popcorn when you come in, which is a fun touch. Their menu is vast and even includes vegan options. Next time I think I’ll go with a signature burger since it’s the same price and feels like a better value. My husband was completely stuffed after his meal too. Great flavors, and I’ll definitely keep coming back.

4/19/25 - Wife recently became vegan so we decided to come try this place since they have vegan burgers. We stop by on our way back from Spam Museum, go visit them if you like Spam. It was our first time here at Hot Chip Burger Bar. We go in and we see Kiosk, which was unexpected. There is a staff at the entrance and said we order and just seat ourselves. Kiosk is easy to use, if you don’t know how to use it, the staff are super friendly and helpful. Looking thru the menu, they kept asking if we needed help. I order the Kevin bacon cheese burger with fries and a side of special sauce and fountain drink, while wife order the Smells Like Updog with fries. We sat ourselves and waited for food to arrive which came fairly quick. Price is kind of expensive, totaling almost 50 dollars with tip. Food was good, nothing really stands out about the burger, just a regular bacon cheese burger. Special sauce was okay. Fries were seasoned which tasted good. Wife said her burger was good. This place has got to be the best place I’ve been to as far as service. During our time there staff came to us I don’t know how many times asking if we needed anything and how the food is, etc. Super friendly staff from the moment we walked in to when we left and they said thanks for coming. Overall good food, price is a bit high. They do have taco place next door which we’ll come back to try next time Food 7/10 Atmosphere 9/10 Price 6.5/10 Staff 10/10

Visited Hot Chip Burger while visiting family in Rochester and it was Amazing! All the food was delicious but wanted to especially call out the cheese curds as the best we've ever had and the burgers were right up there as well! We ordered the spectrum from plain to vegan and they handled all our dietary restrictions and allergies with ease and confidence. I would highly recommend going here.
