The wings were so bad, they were the last little push I needed to finally sign-up for Yelp. I ordered the NE clam chowder and 10 traditional wings w/ curly fries. The soup was served with the entree, and it was room temperature. Additionally, the taste was bland, so I had the mgr remove it from my bill. Now, I've been eating a different Hooters restaurants since the mid-80s, and I usually consider their wings as a baseline when rating buffalo wings. The wings I was served were terrible, slippery and slimy under the breading, and they tasted like gator meat! The fries were droopy and over-seasoned.
On the brighter side, the wait staff was sympathetic, helpful and well-presented. The manager was also very friendly and courteous.
If you're in Bloomington, IL and want wings, just go a few blocks down Empire St. to BW3 (directly across st. from BMI airport).
It's a Hooters.... A lot of people were there getting hammered on a Tuesday at  2 PM.  I've got to get a job that allows me to do that!  The service was good, nice and attentive, but my wings tasted liked they'd been fried in the same oil as they fried fish, which is pretty disgusting.  Free wifi is a plus.
Review Source:Now I haven't been here in a few years, but I just discovered Yelp recently. Â Now I can get my revenge on this place for nearly putting me in the hospital! Â And nearly killing one of my friend's boyfriends. Â
When I went to ISU a few years back, I decided to finally eat here before I graduated. Â I had the wings and beer. Â Well there was nothing wrong with the taste of the food. Â It was what happened when I woke up in the morning with horrid stabbing pains, I could hardly walk! Â I went to the doctor and they said I got a parasite from food poisoning. Â Luckily it passed within 2 hours; however, a girlfriend of mine said her boyfriend ate there the same night and became insanely ill. Â He was in such bad shape they had to rush him to the hospital! Â BUYER BEWARE!! Â They are not sanitary! Â Unless things have changed since then!
I came here with my family last week and it was so disappointing. Â We went for the Wing's special (weds, i think?)...and asked the waitress if there was a wing special that night (Yes, she says) and asked for two orders of that for my husband and I. Â Then we ordered our kids' meals. Â We waited for over an hour for these wings. Â The wing's were just okay...why do they not come w/ celery and ranch? Â Then the waitress got our order wrong and double charged us on just about everything (including sauces for our children's wing's that were plain?). Â She was not the brightest. Â She totally botched our order...had us waiting forever...and I didn't like that she came over and sat with us trying to make awkward conversation about the weather and what we're doing later that night. Â We have 3 kids 4 and under...what does it look like we're going to be doing? Â Jaeger and saki bombs? Â
I had to flag down a manager to get him to correct the bill (b/c the waitress was getting confused when I told her she got our orders wrong..."No, those $9 wings don't come with fries." Â But it's Weds wing nite where it's 5.99 for the platter...ugh. Â Anyway, he comped part of our meal, but not the added charges on sauces and such she added to our bill. Â It just ended up being a bigger headache going here to eat. Â The children's meals were over fried and not worth the 1 hour wait when the whole place was maybe 40% full. Â Totally not worth waiting that amount of time with 3 hungry little ones.
I love how the men are commenting that the girls are hot. Â The barely over 18 year olds they have working here are not that pretty (our waitress was not blessed in the looks and physical department.) and are not that intelligent, either. Â A couple wait staff came in to dine and I was disappointed by their inappropriate stories they were sharing.
I blew in hear for a quick meal while on a business trip and sat at the bar. Â The beer was cold. Â The burger was cooked to order and juicy. Â The curly fries were hot and crispy. Â The girls were also hot but not crispy. Â The service was just fine. Â It was exactly what I expected.
Review Source:I will have to disagree with Russ. Â Although the food can be better at other restaurants, BW3's food is, for lack of a better term, doodie. Â Flat-out doodie. Â Sauces are good, but I'd rather buy it in bottles and pour it on the Hooters wings.
Hooters food is good, most of it not frozen. Â Service is always good, and Josh the manager knows how to make a guy happy...wink.
The workers are so nice. They let me and my girlfriend in on a snowy night 15 minutes before they were supposed to close. We enjoyed our meal even after they were closed and cleaning up. Right before we left the manager told us that he had brushed off our car from all the snow that had accumulated. Good people and good tits.
