Hot 'n Now Hamburgers — Restaurant in Sturgis

Last night, I did a bit more than toss and turn in my sleep—I changed universes. Yep, you heard that right. I closed my eyes in one dimension and opened them in another. But here's the kicker: my favorite place to eat, which should be a casual jaunt across town that has been closed for decades, EXISTS! Now thousands of miles away. I mean, what's a person got to do to get a decent meal around here?

I live in Portland, Oregon, a place known for its rain, hipsters, and an obsession with brunch that borders on religious fervor. So, imagine my surprise when, after what felt like a particularly trippy nap, I woke up in a hospital bed this morning. But it wasn't just any wake-up call. No, I had woken up in a universe where YOU exist. Yeah, you. After all this time, my prayers have been answered, and frankly, it's a lot to process before breakfast.

You've been off the grid for far too long, lost in the cosmic shuffle. But no more! This summer, in the year 2024, we're hitting the road, embarking on an epic journey that makes Harold and Kumar's quest for White Castle look like a quick run to the grocery store. We're talking a full-blown road trip extravaganza.

Our itinerary? Well, that's still in the works. But imagine the most absurd, laughter-filled journey across dimensions, with stops in places that defy logic and reason. We'll dine in eateries that serve dishes so good they're outlawed in several universes, attend concerts where the music literally lifts you into another plane of existence, and maybe, just maybe, find that elusive spot thousands of miles away where my favorite food awaits.

So, dust off your interdimensional passport, pack your bags with items suitable for multiple realities (don't forget your sense of humor), and prepare for a summer adventure like no other. We're not just crossing state lines; we're bending the very fabric of reality.

Move over, Harold and Kumar. Your fast-food escapade has nothing on our multidimensional road trip. This summer, we're rewriting the rules of space, time,...

I am lucky enough to live 20 minutes away from this rare fast food place as, from what I've heard and researched anyways, this is the only one open now in the world. You can definitely correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure all the other ones have closed down which is incredibly weird considering this has been my favorite fast food place since I was a little boy going here as a child with my parents. This place is amazing when it comes to the variety of menu options and you can't beat the prices to boot. They offer anything from the regular cheeseburger, mushroom swiss burger (which is my favorite), all the way to deep fried pickles. They make blizzards and milkshakes and you can even buy T-shirts here. This place offers anything that can tantalize your every taste bud needs and if your in the area you must stop here and give it a try because you will never find another fast food joint that offers the same variety they do at a very low cost and the food is delicious just to add to the many pros of this place. To be honest the only real thing I could complain about which is a very small thing considering it has nothing to do with the food or customer service here is that the place could use a little bit of a modernization. The store itself is old and hasn't changed it's look since it opened and they don't have all the items it offers on the menu. Alot of items are posted as fliers on their drive thru window and the drive thru is the only way to place an order. They don't offer any in store dining which is another thing that is very unique about this drive thru place and I feel as though if they were to open a a dining area they would blow all the other fast food places in the area out of the water. I am grateful and happy I live so close to this rare establishment that shouldn't be...

I cannot comment or rate on the atmosphere accurately because it's drive thru only. I grew up on Hot N Now. Even worked at one back in my late teens. Was sad to see them disappear. When my friends and I, from high school, realized one still existed, we started making it a worthy road trip quite often. They still have all the original menu items. Goshen, Elkhart, South Bend, and Ft. Wayne, Indiana, were several cities they were located in. When we had open lunches in high school, this was our stop! Amazing food! The folks at this location are courteous, friendly, fast, and accurate. If you are looking for a blast from the past or just something other than the usual fast food stops, this is definitely the hot spot. Definitely something on the menu for everyone's taste. Even better, decent prices. You totally get what you pay for! And if you've never experienced this place, then I encourage you to do so. Hardee's is a chain. BK is a chain. McDonald's, Arby's, Culver's, DQ, and Chic filet are all chains. Hot N Now used to be, kinda. However, the fact that they are not makes them that much better and more unique. Hit em up, you won't be disappointed! Sturgis, Michigan only...so would love to franchise...
