Empire Hots

So I am huge into finding the best plates ever, I’ve been all over town for the last 30 years looking for it. Empire Hots not only has the greatest plate in town, amongst other menu items that are phenomenal, the meat hot sauce is the best there is and that is crucial for the perfect plate. Along with having the best plate their service is unparalleled, the woman who’s usually at the counter Tawnya is so kind and helpful and always makes you feel welcome and at home when you walk through the door! I love this place and I love their service, especially their customer service because it is so difficult these days to find that and Empire Hots has every aspect of service, food and customer service especially from Tawnya hands down my favorite in and out food experience in town! Thank you empir

On my 1st visit I purchased Italian Sausage meal ( macaroni salad + small drink)..fair when it comes to pricing..food was very good..

I ordered door dash from here and had a red dog trash plate. The temperature of the dish really threw me off. The hot dog was warm but the BBQ beans were refrigerated cold! Which made the potatoes and meat sauce cold too! So my plate was cold with a lukewarm dog on top. Would be better if everything was piping hot.

The first few times we got a plate here, they were delicious. However, this last time the meat sauce was completely flavorless, the mac salad was super watery, and the plates were 2/3s mac salad. The staff were also pretty unfriendly. Likely will not be back.

Most amazing people and most amazing plates. My boyfriend and I get plates/fish fry every Friday night and the whole crew is amazing (especially the woman who takes the orders over the phone!) Shoutout to the wonderful food; never had any issues, errors or complaints. Used to get plates from a rival hots spot until their service turned poor after being so busy they kept hanging up after putting us on hold! NEVER have had any issues here no matter the time of day or night. I personally think they have the best Mac salad in roc recently. The portions are huge & consistent every week, only about 10 min wait time for pickup. Their home fries could be a little less fried occasionally (sometimes they seem like they’ve sat in oil too long, but they’re not overly crunchy) but that’s just being pic
