Food is a core part of the Hotshots Sports Bar & Grill experience. That’s why we invest significant time, planning, and testing into every menu decision we make. We refresh our menu approximately twice per year, and every update is guided by a clear set of principles designed to deliver great food, fast service, and strong profitability.
1. Built for the Hotshots Customer
We know exactly who our customer is — and we design our menu with them in mind. While we respect that not every concept appeals to everyone, Hotshots guests come to us for bold flavors, hearty portions, and real food done right.
Our burgers are made with high-quality Midwestern beef. Our pizzas are crafted with traditional dough and signature toppings. We focus on comfort food favorites that satisfy, perform consistently, and keep guests coming back.
At Hotshots, we don’t chase food trends that sacrifice flavor or value. We stay committed to serving delicious, craveable menu items that align with what our guests actually want to eat.
2. Quality Without Compromise
Speed and consistency never come at the expense of quality. Many menu items are still prepared from scratch in our kitchens, and we continually test new ideas to keep the menu fresh and exciting.
Every ingredient is evaluated for quality, reliability, and consistency across locations. Our goal is to deliver food that tastes great every time — whether a guest is visiting their local Hotshots or traveling to another market.
3. Designed for Speed
Great food should never require a long wait. Our kitchen systems are built around efficiency, allowing the majority of menu items to be prepared in under 10 minutes.
This benefits both guests and operators: customers enjoy fast service, and kitchens maintain strong throughput during peak periods. Our commitment is simple — once an order is placed, food reaches the table quickly without sacrificing quality.
4. Built for Profitability
Every menu item at Hotshots is engineered with profitability in mind. We regularly test new products and ingredients, but if an item doesn’t align with our cost structure or would require pricing that doesn’t deliver value to the guest, it doesn’t make the menu.
Each recipe is carefully costed down to the ounce, ensuring strong margins while maintaining fair pricing. This disciplined approach allows franchisees to deliver a superior product and operate a financially healthy business.
By balancing guest demand, kitchen efficiency, and smart cost controls, our menu supports both an exceptional dining experience and long-term franchise success.
We put as much care into our food program as we do every other aspect of the Hotshots system — and it shows on every plate.
