My buddies and I were here to meet up at the Mall of America. Our waitress came up and took our beer order. I got a Summit. She was super nice and was easy on the eyes.
We ordered some fried pickles to start off our order. Love the fried pickles with their dipping sauce. Good stuff. The sauce is like a thousand island goo of happiness.
I ordered the fish sandwich. I am sure it was a frozen fillet, but the roll they put it on was tasty, and was actually a good sandwich! I was somewhat amazed. I had seen the Hooters Undercover Boss and I knew everything was shipped in, so I was very happy with a great sandwich.
I ordered another beer and we had lots of good laughs and the place was packed.
Overall, a fun day out with some buddies.
Met up with friends here last night. Â The service was astounding. Â Ordered a vodka gimlet and the following questions proceeded: "what's that? one shot or two shots? Oh, we ran out of rocks glasses (how does that happen, the restaurant wasn't THAT busy), so do you want it in a highball glass?". Another round later, she comes back and was making it very obvious that the restaurant was closing within the hour and a half - she then interrupts our conversations, and barks for us to pass our dinner plates to her. We didn't hear her and she barks again: "Pass. The. Â Plates. Â It's look like they are rotting." .... Very bizarre experience. Will not willingly return again.
Review Source:Service was not up to par. not even close...
I got a burger and I asked for it medium, it was well done and took forever.
Was there with 3 other people, so four of us total, and the waitress said she couldn't split checks.
I don't know what restaurant DOESN'T split checks.
Needless to say I paid cash to a guy I didn't really know that well (friend of a friend) because the waitress can't use the computer system effectively.
Slow service and/or no service for quite some time...beer glasses empty means time for a refill in all languages, or at least ask if they are needed....
Our waitress passed by our table multiple times while our glasses remained empty for 5-10 minutes. If it wasn't for the manager stepping up, we probably would be still waiting for our bill.
There is a reason the rest of the Hooters in MN closed, and I don't see this one in business much longer either if they keep up this type of service.
Went to Hooters at the MOA last night with my husband and kids and as always was very good.
They recently updated their menu, so we tried something new - I had a Chicken Strip Sandwich (which like it sounds, is just their chicken strips on a bun). Â It is my new favorite meal there! Â My husband got a Speedway Sandwich, which is grilled chicken with cheese and Bacon and a special sauce. Â He was also very impressed. Â With the new menu a lot of the sandwiches come with fries now - so that is very good not having to order fries separately. Â The kids got their usual - chicken strips or hamburgers.
As usual in the evenings here, it was pretty busy, waited for about 5 minutes to get a table. Â Got to sit overlooking the Nickelodeon Universe which was really cool.
Our waitress, Christine, was such a cutie ;) and very sweet. Â She even caught me looking at her boobs and just smiled lol. Â She was taking really good care of us all night, never ran out of anything and was going out of her way to help - even tearing off napkins and giving them to us. Â Generally I would say the Hooters at MOA is a 4 star, but she gave them an extra star tonight.
If your at the Mall of America - stop by, we really like this Hooters.
The main thing i remember about this hooters is long legs, and long blonde hair. They must grow like trees too cause every female in the place had the same characteristics whether waitress or patron. So not much diversity here, all waitresses are pretty much a carbon copy of one another, but a well done copy. You might find an occasional brunette working an odd shift, but it seems the locals flock to them and really aren't worth being served by. So if you're an out-of-towner definitely  stop by cause minnesota seems to be the only place where tall leggy blondes are considered average.
The food is avg to slightly above avg, keeping this place from five stars. You get what you get from hooters, sauce isn't too spicy but definitely not too bland.
So I've been to hooters before and I love there wings. but Apr 29th about 4pm. a buddy and I came to eat at this establishment and while I was waiting after eating and drinking the rest of my beer. I was watching the cooks. whoever was stationed on the flat top put raw meat on the grill and never washed his hands and proceeded to walk around and touch other utensils, shake fryer baskets then text on his phone though out 20mins or so i never once saw this guy wash his hands.... I will never eat there again.
Review Source:I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about when they review [this] Hooters. Â Too high of standards? maybe. Â The 3 mile island sauce is the best, and we come out of our way to eat here a few times a year. Â I have no other reason to venture to the mall of america than to eat Hooters wings and sample Rybecki cheese. Â The service is always fast and friendly. Â I mean, what are these reviewers thinking? Â Deep fried wings in hot sauce with scantily clad women serving food to us. Â We aren't dining out at Mccormick's and Schmick's for pete's sake! Â
I won't write about a specific experience, because they are generally all the same. Â I've never had a complaint about the service or the food. Â The servers are very friendly and if they happen to forget something (heaven forbid) they will get it for you right away when you remind them.
I really, truly do not understand the 1 star ratings. Â I'm a little flabbergasted. Â And no, I'm not trailer trash, I'm not a lesbian, and I'm not morbidly obese. Â I just really like their wings.
This is such a weird place on so many levels. Â First of all it is tucked away in the most remote and empty part of the Mall of America. Â Having never been to a Hooters, we thought it would be fun to try. Â
When we arrived there, there was surprising a line out the door. Â It was about 3pm with no game of significance playing this was puzzling. Â I would describe the "eye candy" as stale. Food made me feel sick and remorseful. Â Stay away from fried pickles. Â Fries weren't very good at all actually. Â The wings were decent but who needs wings?
On the plus side this place is super cheap. Â So if you're on a budget and like terrible food for you, you'd probably like this place.
First and foremost, I've never thought of Hooters as a real food establishment. Â Unfortunately, that assumption became a reality last night.
At first glance, I was going to order some hot wings but when I noticed that they actually charged for ranch and celery (seriously!?) I went ahead and ordered tots and chili. Â Sadly, these two simple dishes managed to be unsatisfactory. Â How a "restaurant" can screw up tater-tots and chili is simply beyond me. Â But I will explain what went wrong just for clarification purposes.
First, the tots tasted like they were fried in grease that hadn't been changed in months... Secondly, their chili was clearly from a can/bag. Â It simply had no flavor or texture that would remotely resemble a quality product. Â Epic fail on their behalf. Â
Regardless of the "view" that is offered at Hooters, you could not pay me to eat here again.
OMG THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!
FIRST OFF. our food was nasty and cold. we got a orders of hot bbq, mild, spicy and tmi wings. and shrimp and fries and celery. the food was cold, and especially the ranch was nasty. i love ranch with my chicken and fries, and they came in the seal packaged type, not in the usual clear plastic containers. i know some may not taste the difference, but I do. and the shrimp tasted horrible. half of the order was hot, half of it was cold. im not a fan of their shrimp to begin with so i didnt bother asking for another batch.
the end- i am never going back to mall of america ever again.. maybe besides to check out their aquarium !
Although I realize that writing reviews of chain restaurants is a bit passé, I'm doing it anyway.  Not all of them are created equal.  :)  (I'm talking about the restaurants, not the waitresses..surgery often tends to level the latter playing field).  Without much open in the Mall of America, I decided to stop by here and sit through a Vikings game with a bunch of Vikings fans.  Fortunately, the waitress confessed to me that she wasn't a native Minnesotan either, so my service wasn't negatively affected by my lack of enthusiasm for the home team.  The wings were saucy, and the service was prompt.  With beautiful women galore, it doesn't take much else to garner a positive review from a guy.  :)
Review Source:I cruised on in to this place just for the wings which are ok but not the best I've ever had. The "bar" overlooks the cooking area and makes it seem more like you're sitting at the counter in some weird diner. The girls here spend far too much time under the tanning beds; they're going to get skin cancer & are way too skinny. If you want a serious beer and meal at MOA go to Twin City Grill. But I just wanted wings and cold beer & it sufficed.
Review Source:So, I practically had to beg my boyfriend to take me here. Â I have never been to a Hooters and I had a morbid curiosity. Â So, I wasn't shocked that the waitresses were scantily clad and had big boobs. Â I was shocked, however, that people actually brought children here. Â It is a "family restaurant". Â Got to teach the little girls and boys about implants early in their lives.
Ummm.....no matter how I tried to justify it, having only sexy, thin, beautiful servers seemed icky to me. Â I didn't like it.
Also, the food was mediocre. Â I had the fiesta salad and it was just like a garden salad with a few chips on it. Â The fried pickles were not delicious.
Although, they had terrific Pina Coladas.
AND WE SPENT $80. Oh, my gosh. Â I am traumatized.
I usually love Hooters for their wings and fun customer service. Â The wings were still good here, a little bit smaller than the Chicago size that I'm used to.
I was disappointed with our waitress who kept on asking us three times if we wanted the bill and in response, we'd just order another pitcher of Blue Moon.
Also, when I went into the ladies' restroom, there was no toilet paper there, so I requested one of the servers to mention something and after waiting 20 minutes and still no toilet paper, and I had the fiance go into the men's restroom for toilet paper and they were out there, I ended up going elsewhere to use the restroom.
