So the food is ok but really you come for the view right? Well, this location bombs at both. The girls here are not very appealing to the eye unfortunately and no matter how much you drink that does not change.
The Bikinis downtown off of I-35 is waaaaay better plus the food is better too.
Overall I like the chain but they need to recruit some better talent in Richardson.
Nothing more than just another Breastaurant. Â The sports bar aspect of the place is very nice. Â Tons of big TV's everywhere you look. Â The staff was OK, not overly attractive or friendly. Â Lots of beers on draft. Â The food is mediocre at best. Â I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich and it was huge, so I thought. Â It was overhanging the bun on both sides. Â It turned out to be just a regular size chicken breast with tons of extra breading. Â The breading all fell apart leaving a sloppy huge mess. Â FAIL. Â They serve sandwiches with homemade potato chips which were good except they over salted them so much I couldn't even eat them. Â
Looks like the place is a Steelers hangout on NFL Sundays. Â Ugh.
Here's what missing: Personality. They've hired cute girls who are competent at serving/bartending, but they're missing an ingredient that is key to an "eye candy"-themed restaurant. I got zero interaction from my three bartenders. I got good service, but that's about it. It was a weekday after work (I'll refrain from exactly which day), but 4-6'ish when it was moderately full. Yes, I got my drink in a timely fashion. My food arrived hot, about 10 minutes after I ordered (although I had to ask to see a menu). My check arrived when I asked. I was seated at the bar for probably two hours. Had a couple beers, ordered some wings, but I had to ask for a second beer. The reality is that Hooters, Bone Daddy's, Twin Peaks, Bikinis fill a niche: Guys who don't want to go to the strip club but would still like to talk to cute girls, eat wings, watch rerun sporting events or looped ESPN Sports Center. Where Bikinis misses the boat is the "talking" part.
These girls are completely out of my demographic - as well as all the other 40-something dudes - so I'm not hitting on them. But engaging in superficial conversation with a cute girl is something that never gets old as long as there is still some testosterone in a dude's veins. Unfortunately that doesn't happen at Bikinis. I had the same level of rapport I get at a Chili's in the airport. "What can I get you to drink?" And that was it for two hours.
Based on more hours seated at a bar than I'd care to admit, here's how it should go: They should say, "Hi" first of all. Not that hard. I'm not bellying up to the bar at the OK Corral, so "What can I get you to drink?" doesn't count as rapport. Bartenders should initiate conversation. Again, it's a one-liner: "How was your week," "What are you doing this weekend?", "Are you following the [insert team]?" Open-ended questions are all you have to do. You don't even have to listen. Follow-up questions are not expected.
99% of the time, the answers will be 1) "My week sucked" (which is why I'm here, or I just don't want to go home yet, which again, is why I'm here). 2) "I don't know yet" (Actually, I'm probably going to Home Depot or Bed Bath and Beyond with my wife, but that sucks too, so right now I'm pretending that I'm still a single guy, hanging out with you, so don't remind me just yet how sad being 40 is). And 3), "Yeah, I went to a [insert team/event] last weekend" (which shows that I'm still cool and have the hook-up for hot tickets.) It's not that tough: Guys who come in alone and sit at the bar are there to talk to someone. Maybe to tell fish tales to the other guys at the bar. Maybe to talk with 20-year-olds in bikini tops and booty shorts. I'm not sure, call me crazy.
Other than conversation, I'm seated at the bar for a reason: I like to drink. If a dude didn't mind asking for another beer, they'd just go home and tell his wife or one of the kids to bring him one. Or I'd just go get it my damn self and pay 50% less for it. I come to a place like this and sit at a bar so I can be taken care of. There's a fine-line between pushing drinks and offering occasionally, but Bikini's errs on the side of ignoring the customer all-together. There were a dozen guys at the bar, but the two bartenders only interacted with each other. They were damn certain to make the drinks that were printed out for rest of the servers, but I'll sit there with an empty pint.
Okay I get it boys. Â Another place for you to gawk at - whether it be the TV or girls in skimpy outfits. Â I ain't hating at all. Â This review is purely on the food.
YUCK! Â I had the wings and they were gross. Â We were just eating them just to eat them. Â There were absolutely no hint of lemon pepper flavor on the lemon pepper wings. Â I had the honey bbq wings which were slightly better but just everything about it tasted low quality. Â
No thanks - I'll stick to Twin Peaks or Hooters.
This place is full of hooters rejects!
They play some game here where they write names on a napkin when they come to your table for some reason. We asked one of the waitresses why and she gave some snide remake about "flirting"
our waitress was powerfully dumb... like it hurt to hear her explain the menu... so we just got drinks.... if you go here just order domestic beers. Everything else was ether old or made incorrectly. They were serving SAM ADAMS SPRING in the middle of SUMMER.
Honestly you would get the same experience drinking beer and watching bay watch and your chance of getting sick would be greatly reduced.
I just go a message from someone at Bikini's asking me to give them another shot. while I won't raise this rating yet,(most of the low rating was based on the overall quality of the drinks.) I might stop by if I am every in Richardson TX again ( not likely)
I would never go to an establishment just for the eye-candy (I'm old enough to be their father)!
I was having lunch with a former colleague, we talked most of the time.
I don't remember what I had, it was a taco combination, but it was tasty.
I'll have to go again to pay more attention to the food,
We went for a late lunch so it was rather slow. The hostess ended up actually being our server, too. She seemed so bored and not happy to be there at all.
At first, she ignored us for a bit (took 10 minutes to get the beer we ordered!).  But she made up for it later by checking in on us half a dozen times in 20 or so minutes  Food also took abnormally long. We ordered the 'best damn nachos' and the wings. Can't ever go wrong with simple bar food, right?!
Sadly not right. Â Nachos, in spite of their name, were not good. Â The chips were greasy as was the overcooked ground beef. Â It was also so incredibly dry since the amount of queso/cheese on the whole thing probably could fill a thimble.
The honey hot wings were good but that's because the sauce honestly was just sweet chili. We also had garlic parm that tastes like NOTHING. Â We ended up dragging these wings through the excess sweet chili sauce from the other wings we had.
If you take only one thing out of this review, do not get the garlic parm wings!!! Just don't do it!!!!
My co worker and I went here for lunch and I had a good time. Â Yes the food was a bit expensive but it was served warm and with a smile. Â The waitress was very nice and in a good mood. Â Both of us had burgers with fries and soft drinks which was over $14 apiece. Â I would prefer lunch to be at around $10 so it cost them a star for being pricey. Â The girls are way cute and do not have that smug attitude like at Hooters. Â It looks like a good place to go to watch a game with big screens all over. Â Parking is probably dicey at lunchtime but we went early so we got a spot right in front. Â This is not a dig at the girls but at 50 years old, I would like to see a more mature hottie every now and then at these places instead of girls who look like they could be my daughter.
Review Source:I visited for lunch on President's Day with a friend for the first time and was very unimpressed. Â The food was mediocre at best and overpriced. Â The already expensive burgers come with chips which I beileve are home made or you can get fries for an additional $1.99 pushing the burger cost to over $10! Â My friend ordered wings and they did not even have wet wipes for him to clean up with. Â When we asked our server to inquire with the manager as to why a restaurant that starts their menu with wings does not have wet wipes for those who order wings, he simply said that they did not have them. Â Our waitress was very sweet, but all of the girls were extremely young. Â Â
Being within a few miles from a Bone Daddy's, Bikini's has a very long way to go in all categories before I would spend another dollar there. Â The food, atmosphere, and staff are much better at Bone Daddy's
