Lets start with the positive...the food was good. The clam chowder is really good and the wings were exactly what I expect from Hooters. No complaints here.
What sucked was the service. I am seated and the waitress says that she is part of the afternoon shift and that she is about to leave and that the night shift is in a meeting with the manager and should be out soon to take my order. She was nice enough to bring me my drink before she left. The night crew did not come out till 20min later so that sucked. Then, it took forever for the manager to change the tv closest to me to the game I wanted to see. Overall, the service was really bad.
Found myself around here for a wedding with the groom-to-be. Â There was a real dearth of options so decided to give this a go.
And it wasn't bad at all. Â Lots of beer choices, some new menu choices. Â Food came out and was pretty decent.
Waitress was a little aloof and they all seemed to be fighting over something.
But all-in-all not bad. Â Might be 4-stars on a repeat visit. Â Worth a try if nothing else for the lack of options around.
If I didn't walk out of another bar, in disgust at the amount of "tourists" clogging up the place just to gaggle at the winner of a local radio station's "hot waitress contest", I would have never set foot inside this place.
Place is a dump. The Beer is ok, The food is ok, The service is average.
Place is a waste of time.
Fellow Food Hounds... it has certainly been quite awhile since we have been to a Hooters. Brimstone here with another Food Hound: Tidbits for all of you foodies out there just itching to taste something great! Etan Wish, Luscious and I visited the Farmingdale, Long Island Hooters; which when it was initially built... was the largest Hooters in the world! This spot is seriously huge with a lot going on including drinking, billiards and of course... EATING!
So, Hooters is widely known for their chicken wings and 'other' things; but what most people actually do NOT know, is their wings are always fresh, never frozen! The freezing process actually shrinks the wings which is why Hooters chicken is always big, plump and juicy! Regularly, the chicken is fantasmic... however when you add that something special, you create magic! The sauce is BOSS and makes dining here SO much fun! Hooters boasts 13 flavors to choose from and from what the Food Hounds were told; are launching a couple of new ones in the coming months... SAUCE OVERLOAD!!!
We tried every flavor and one was better than the other! Break down of each flavor... Mild was delicious; perfect for the person who wants a wing with a little flavor; but doesn't pack a serious punch. Medium was a little hotter; but still not too crazy... a little more heat added to the flavor. Hot was again just another nudge up from the last level, nothing too overwhelmingly hawt! Once the color started turning from a nice orange to a dark red... it was on! The heat certainly does progress with each level & the 911 started to get nuts! Very hot, still doable without the bleu cheese, ranch or celery; but leaves that burning sensation in your mouth. Then you have the 3 Mile Island... the hottest of them all... the one that the waitresses try coaxing young lads into ordering to see if they have the cojones to handle the otherworldly explosions that are going to take place on your taste buds. A full attack on your tongue, this sauce took the prize when it came to hot while keeping the natural flavor of the chicken.
After getting the spicy stuff out of the way, we went on to try the rest of the yummy delights... Honey Thai is a flavor that has only been around for about 3 months young! Sweet and awesome, I would eat those all day and night along with my personal WIN; the Cajun with its dry delicious style rub - sans sauce & still amazing; kudos! Then we had the Daytona which threw us for a sweet and spicy loop... they sauce these suckers, then let them become caramelized on the grill! Parmesan Garlic was simply saucy, bossy and flavorful... loved the burst of garlic in each bite. Very good for the non-spice lover. The Spicy Garlic on the other hand actually seemed spicier than the 911 in my opinion! The heat left my tongue numb; but the flavor was extremely enjoyable! Another favorite was the Samurai Teriyaki Style which was another blend of sweet and spicy; but very smooth, for lovers of teriyaki and Asian flavor; try these babies! The BBQ was a thick smoked beer BBQ sauce (Same sauce as ribs... oh yeah, RIBS!) that worked really well for a thick smokey glaze. Lastly, we sampled the Lemon Pepper (Boneless)... they offered a quick blast of lemon with a pleasing pepper to follow... YUM. All the wings were consistently crispy, crunchy & crave-a-luscious (3 out of 3 C's)!!! No sauce was blatantly drowning the chicken itself making these wings EPIC WINS!
After all the chicken, we sampled a few of their specialty drinks including the extremely fruity Black Jack which was VERY YUM! 2oz of alcohol in this bad boy, Jack Daniels, cranberry, blackberry syrup... VERY berry! The House Margarita was simple, sweet and great and believe it or not; ONLY $5 all summer long! My favorite was actually the Angry Orchard - Alcoholic Apple Cider - WIN! I can't truly say how much I enjoyed this stuff, it went down so smooth and tasted like a crisp apple cider; I could get into trouble with that stuff! They have SO many different beers in which to try there whether it be craft, domestic or imported... this spot is the place to go.
Of course Hooters has its variation of items to choose from on their menu; we opted to go for the more obscure. Fried pickles with Onion Ring Sauce (Southwestern flavor with a splash of horseradish was BOSS). Lightly battered, crispy and still moist on the inside. BBQ Glazed Ribs that sauce from earlier offered a delicious glaze and fall of the bone meat! Paired with curly fries, niiice! Lastly, Lots-o-tots reminded me of a potato skin except crunchy pillows of love drowning in cheese, bacon and sour cream. Dessert: ALL their pies are Hooters made and branded... Key Lime Pie gave a burst of Lime and was sweet and creamy. Peanut Butter Pie (highly recommended) was smooth and delightfully peanuty! Great spot for great food & a good time
Have not been to hooters in a long time and since is Sunday and Giants and Jets are paying my girlfriend wanted wings from hooters, ok first off I told the girl I wanted bleu cheese with them and she said they don't come with bleu cheese I was wtf wings with no bleu cheese?!?!?!. I said ok I want the bleu cheese and she said ok, I later checked the bill and there was a $1.49 charge for the bleu cheese. I told the bartender to tell the guys to make them crispy and she said yes but never made it to the kitchen and never told them. Now the wings come and she says they are crispy I looked at them do you want to look at them? I was like just give me the wings I just want to get the he'll out of here. Got home open the container and what did I get? Soggy disgusting wings and they are the worse I have had so this will be my first time there in more than 10 years and my last. Nice girls and all food and service sucked for me!!!!!!!!
Review Source:I LOVE Hooters, so it pains me to write this review because this one is a huge disappointment. Â Waitresses are nice and all, no complaints about them this is strictly about the food. Â
What. Â The. Â Fuck. Â
Everyone knows Hooters has the best wings...these were *crap*. Â My buffalo chicken sandwich had this ginormous piece of what appeared to be genetically altered chicken meat with no flavor whatsoever thrown on two soggy pieces of bread. Â The fries were greasy and nasty and pretty much everything we ordered was gross. Â And expensive, too! Â I couldn't believe we just spent $60 on lunch. Â Never again.
Great place for a drink. Great bartenders, they're fun and fast. Â Full bar and over 40 beers on tap, all the regulars plus some really nice craft beers. Everyday there are specials from $5 margaritas to $2 happy hour beers.
It's a fun place plus the company is always helping out different charities. They made a great donation to my cousins foundation and also to a charity a friend of my family started when his daughter passed away.
More of a fan of the East Meadow hooters which is about 15 minutes from this one.
I've been here 3 times and had 3 different waitresses. Two of them were pretty unfriendly and behaved like "normal" waitresses. This is Hooters! You're supposed to sit next to us at our booth while we order and be flirt for a big tip. Â Service is more than half of the appeal of heir business and on that level they definitely didn't satisfy. One other waitress, however, was really cool.
Food was decent. Wings were disappointing (which surprised me), but burgers and sandwiches were good.
[Overheard]
"I guess it's one more beer then I'll head out, but man, I just hate my f*$#ing family."
"I hear that."
"I mean, I love them and all or whatever, but sometimes....sometimes I can't stand those assholes."
Well, thanks, it's tough for even me to not feel a little skeezy eating dinner beside you gentlemen. Â But, I love those wings...
Nice new place, in my opinion much bigger than the usual Hooters you would expect.
I was there on a Saturday night and they had a band in, I was told they do that every week.
The bar is nice, sits about 45 people. Â They have 40 beers on tap which gives you a nice selection, including liquor.
All in all, a nice place, good time, and yes they had some cute girls...
OK.....after long day of work and kids sports decided to take my son for a quick burger. It was Monday night football so place was packed as expected. However....after being seated it took 15 minutes before we were recognized and an additional 10 before they could figure out who was assigned our table. Not good.
Food at Hooters is always good and reasonable and today was no different.
They really need to work on their customer service and table seating system.
