I have been to a much better Hooters, that would be the one in Destin, FL where I lived before moving out here. We were looking forward to some good food. Unfortunately, this did not live up to my previous experience and standards. Our waitress did not pay much attention to our table. It took about 30 minutes to get our food from the time we placed our order. At least 30 minutes.
Upon receiving the food and excited to try something else, I was sorely disappointed, It was way over cooked and not worth eating. I had heard something about the owner being very lax. It appeared that way. I would have preferred a bit more attention to our table and food.
I am sure we will be back. I know my boyfriend went back a couple of weeks ago on his own. It did sound like service was about the same. Though I have found ShowMe's to a good place for wings as well.
Been to one Hooters you've pretty much been to them all! Â The food is decent. The beer selection is good and always cold. The sights, always appealing. What distinguishes one Hooters from any other, is usually the ambiance, the attitude and the overall management.
The Fairview Heights Hooters is well managed and is constantly running events that reflect the locale! Â This is not a place to be if you're not a Cardinals fan! Â However, that being said, if there's one thing I absolutely hate about this Hooters is, they claim to be home of the 618 (area code) Dallas Cowboys Fan Club! Â Not a big fan of the Cowboys, so I don't go near this place on Sundays/Mondays when Dallas is playing. Â
This used to be one of the smallest Hooters in the chain. A number of years ago, they purchased the property next door, knocked out walls and expanded the joint. In the additional room they gained, almost every usable inch of every wall is covered with a flat screen television. With their satellite connection, it makes this Hooters a great place to catch sports of literally any venue!
A couple of years ago, in response to the explosion of wing-specialty joints, Hooters reengineered their menu, adding a few items, but most importantly, adding new wing flavors! Â The usual sauces are still there, but a few new ones, such as the Garlic Parmesan, and the Lemon Pepper are real nice additions!
They have a great beer selection to wash the hot wings down with! Â The beer is always served ice-cold, and by a beautiful young lady with a smile on her face. Â Geez, what more can a man ask for???
If I had anything negative to say about this (and most other Hooter's for that matter), is their rest rooms are so poorly cared for and maintained! Â I have a difficult time giving high ratings to any establishment that doesn't care enough about their customers to at least make an effort to present a clean rest room! Â I doubt the men's room in this Hooter's sees more than a once-a-week cleaning! Â If you ever want that fourth or fifth star from me, you need to do a lot better in this category! Â The pretty girls only carry so much weight, and not enough to overcome your disgusting rest rooms!
Eh, it's Hooters so on my first and only trip to this establishment I came in with low expectations and not really holding my breathe.
I came with three others on this occasion and the main reason we came here is we were already in the area and they wanted to watch a game that was on tv. It just so happens that after we came inside and requested a table facing a tv with that game on, we didn't really get one.
The restaurant was cold so while we were waiting to put in our orders, two of us made a trip back out to the car to get a jacket.
Our waitress was nice though quite clueless at times. When we got our food order, mine was wrong and she didn't offer to correct it or refund any part of the cost so I made do with what I had in front of me. Drinks were left unfilled for a majority of the time and this was quite a disappointment as it was 3:00pm and the restaurant was far less than packed. Only when we had already requested our checks had she asked that if I wanted a refill.
It was a good thing I had already low expectations or I just might have rated this place lower but given how I pictured this dining experience going, it was pretty much what I expected. I give this place two stars if only because the staff wasn't rude but I won't be going back anytime soon.
I used to come here quite often for their Wednesday lunch special when I worked nearby. This is the first time I've been back in well over a year now and was happy to see that they still had their special. I dropped in with some coworkers to watch the end of the USA vs. France World Cup game.
I arrived after my friends but put my order in and it was brought out rather quickly. One of my friends was not so lucky however, needless to say his order was lost so he received his food quite a bit later. The manager on staff comp'd his meal though so I thought that was fair.
I ordered the lunch special with their three mile sauce. The lunch special consists of 10 boneless wings and fries for $5.99. That's pretty good considering that normally just 10 boneless wings costs a couple bucks more. They were cooked just right and had the right amount of sauce on them.
My only gripe is that they charge $2.49 for a soft drink. I don't understand why restaurants are charging so much for a fountain drink. I can go to a local gas station and get a 44oz fountain drink for $.75 with tax. So why do restaurants change you 3X that for your drink with your meal. They also charge that for iced tea. Now that to me is crazy as all you need is water and tea bags.
Anyway, I won't be back anytime soon, but that has nothing to do with the food or the service I've always received at this Hooters.
Good greasy bar staples like wings and appetizers done consistently. The crab legs are probably the best value on the menu. Generally the seafood tends to be better here than the wings. I've been missing the oysters though since the Gulf situation started.
While they have a lot of TVs, somehow it is still possible to not have a good view of any of them from a lot of seats here so if you really want to watch a game it is something to take into consideration.
The Hooters Restaurant in Fairview Heights has set a new low, and after reaching rock bottom, has begun to dig. How hard is it to cook an unbreaded, well done chicken wing? Apparently for the kitchen staff at the Fairview Heights Hooters, it's an insurmountable task. For the third time in as many visits, they have failed to cook my requested dish of chicken wings the way I requested them to be cooked. One would think that Hooters could manage to cook an order of their SIGNATURE DISH properly, but that would not be the case. Each time I have visited Hooters, I have ordered the same thing--unbreaded well-done wings. Each time the same thing has happened--the first order of wings (after a 20 minute wait) comes out with breading, and then the second time (after sending the first order back because I ordered them naked since I don't like greasy fried breading) after I make the identical order, I receive unbreaded and UNDERCOOKED wings. Each time I waited FORTY MINUTES and left without getting anything to eat. I cannot put into words how incompetent the waitstaff or the kitchen or both has to be in order to screw up the IDENTICAL order TWICE IN A ROW on the same visit and have this happen on THREE SEPARATE VISITS IN A ROW. I have never seen such incompetence at any restaurant IN MY LIFE and for this to happen REPEATEDLY on THREE SEPARATE VISITS is simply beyond the pale. Chicken wings are Hooter's SIGNATURE DISH. If they can do nothing else, they SHOULD be able to manage to cook a batch of unbreaded well-done wings yet they have failed to do this SIX CONSECUTIVE TIMES. It's not a complicated thing and if they can't master something this simple, then they should really close the restaurant and try something they could succeed at doing--such as playing with their lower lips or walking and chewing gum at the same time. I will NEVER go back to Hooters again--I don't know if their wings are good or bad because I've never gotten to eat any of them. So, to the siliconed and nubile waitstaff I offer this advice: Write down the order and to the imbecile in the do-rag I advise him to READ the order. This could possibly result in my actually getting something to eat although I'm not holding my breath.
