Nailed it! Dragged myself in mid evening on cold, wet Wednesday night. Too wiped to order and Server recommended Shrimp carnival. Shrimp fresh and perfectly sauted with veges al dente and lots of cilantro! Sweet potato fries skinny and hot and salad looked good but didn't need. Server perfectly paired a Stone Ale lager. Another server(?) Suggested chocolate chili creme brule for dessert that was delish. The wicked finish was a camomile tea with lemon, honey and bourben. Slept like a baby, weĺl done, Hot Belly Mama!
Sometimes service is slow, my waiter forgot to bring me water and my haberno sauce but it wasn't even that busy..
Overall the food is great and the atmosphere is nice for catching up with your friends!
I have been eating at this restaurant for years and the food has always been amazing! Service recently has declined a bit but I still enjoy each visit. Nachos are a must and the sweet potato fries are the best in Peterborough

Great food and excellent microbrews. Very cool ambiance and decor. Love that it's in a repurposed garage. Great service and friendly staff. Completely package here, can't really suggest any improvements.
Great food. Really great food with generous portions. I would recommend the blackened catfish po' boy with sweet potato fries and beans and rice as sides (you get a choice of two sides with mains!).
For appetizers their corn soup is so delicious and the hush puppies are really great.
Really good vibe, quick service and very reasonable prices as well (at least for someone from Toronto!)
Amazing. An excellent restaurant with a terrific menu. The food is great and very flavourful. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Peterborough area.
Very consistent food have been here several times. The best service ordered nachos but they took a while to come so they were on the house. So much flavour in all the dishes!
Simply Delicious!. My boyfriend and I were looking for a new spot downtown to go for dinner, so I googled some restaurants and Hot Belly Mama's caught my eye. Music can be heard from the street from inside the building, reminding one of New Orleans. While the restaurant was packed, we only had to wait a few minutes to be seated. The atmosphere is very laid back, most of the servers look like normal patriots. The decor was amazing & you have lots to look at while you wait for your food, which was served quite promptly. I had catfish for the first time and absolutely loved it! Definitely a great place to eat!
Fun!. This place has been pretty great all three times I have been. we had the crawdad boil which we really had a lot of fun with, and it tasted great! the atmosphere was very fun as well, and they have some great scotches as well as beer. the sweet potato fries are by farrr the best ive ever had. their pizzas are unique and the blackened catfish is very nice too. the only thing I did not like was the steak sandwich because it came out kind of soggy. but still a great place and great service!
Great. If you do anything, go here when in Peterborough. Cat tails, ribs and shrimp poboy. Great brew pub beer too.

I've been coming here since 2006, and we have never had a sub par dish! Ever! Today we vetured out for our first COVID restaurant eat, and it was such an amazing experience! They really had their stuff together!!! The servers explained all the social distancing strategies in play and all the tables were more than 2meters apart... It made for a very calm experience!
And the food was incredible!!!!!! I had the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans and corn soup (which was the best I have ever tasted!). The rest of my family got the blackened fish; Cuban sandwich; a chicken sandwich; and chicken strips (for the 5 year old). No take out bags needed!!! The portions, price, and service was right on point! They also take reservations (highly recommended) and their micro beers were an amazing compliment. The attached pictures do no justice to just how savory, juicy, and delicious the whole meal was!!!!!
We live in Toronto, and we make the 1.5 hour trip to Peterborough or drive through it SPECIFICALLY for Hot Belly's!!!! We will be back!!!
I love this place because they make their own beer and I love the blackened chicken with sweet potato fries. They have a live band that plays when you happen to be there at the right time. The staff is friendly and the food is great. You can get in with a wheelchair and the washrooms are on the same floor. in the sum.er they remove the cront and it doubles as a patio, cool! Enjoy!

Nothing extraordinary, but a fairly cute restaurant. The last time I visited I had no problems with our waitress whatsoever, as other reviews suggested. I've only been a few times now, but our waitress (curly brown hair) was really sweet and offered fast service.
As lovers of Cajun cuisine and craft beer we were drawn to Hot Belly Mama's and Olde Stone Brewery.
We ate at HBM'S, ordered shrimp PO boy and blackened catfish PO boy. Both with corn soup and sweet potato fries.
The meals were quite tasty, fresh, and we'll-presented. The corn soup was amazing. Thick, creamy, a bit spicy, full of flavour, and with lots of corn kernels.
The decor is very N'awlins with a lot of cajun bayou shack flair.
The service was fantastic. Renata was our server, and she was very pleasant, friendly, and helpful.
This was the perfect place for Roguetrippers to stop for lunch on our roadtrip through Peterborough on our way home from Ottawa.
Stop in....you will love it.
Sooooooooo good and great prices. Food was very yummy and service was bang on. On every level I really enjoy this spot and would highly recommend the burger.
amazing food, service could have been better after the food was dropped off no one came to check on us until the bill, i did get busy as we were there so i was understanding, not a place id go running back to but the food was that good
Great find while passing through Peterborough. Great selection of New Orleans inspired dishes. We had the shrimp Po'Boy and the Catfish Po'Boy. Both were very flavorful with nice buns. The sides were equally good - particularly the corn soup! They arePartnered with Olde Stone Brewery nextdoor, so have a great slection of craft beers. Highly reccomeded!
