Horrible service. Â Waited 10 minutes no one came to the table, finally decided to get up and get a server just to find out that my server knew we were there but she was too busy talking. Â Then we ordered an appetizer and our food, we stressed that we wanted the wings as an appetizer... 40 minutes later we got all of our food including the "appetizer" . Servers here really need to be trained or fired.
Review Source:I hate writing bad reviews but it has to be done.
After searching for food while on our way back to NY we decided that were going to grab some food at Hooters. This was a bad idea from the second my friends and I walked in. There was a strong smell of a moldy bathroom lingering in the air. Against my better judgement we were "yelled" "Too sit down anywhere we like!" I decided to sit down with my friends at a table in the middle of the restaurant (mind you it was quite empty). Now here's when things start too fall apart quickly.
We are sitting at this table for a good... 15-20 minutes (give or take). While we are sitting here the waiters are just walking around us and some are sitting with other patrons. Now let's refer back to what I said earlier, it's empty. Literally 5 tables are being served out of the 15 tables in the place. I can understand if they were slammed and couldn't get too us. They acted like we weren't even their. Once one of the workers (yes, workers.) Came close too our table we asked if we can order. She didn't realize we weren't being help and walk away to ask who was going to help us. "Hey (name) isn't that you're table?" She replied "I didn't know that was my table."
Now this is what pissed me off, I know for a fact "waiters" have zones they have to attend too. She was too busy sitting and bullshitting with 3 old men charming them for what I'm guessing was trying to get a bigger tip for herself. After realizing how annoyed we were she rushed over and asked what we would like to drink. Sprite (Sierra mist), Coke, water, water, coke (there is a reason why I'm saying this). Before she leave my friend orders wings so we can get them before we order our entrees. She walks off to her register then 2 minutes later walks back.
How here is why I said what was ordered. She walks back and asks what did we want to drink again? Now I'm writing this review 5 hours later and I still remember what was ordered. Now she had a great idea and said "Let me write this down". Well, no shit. Let's fast forward a little bit. We reorder Drinks, wings and entrees, my friend asks can we get the wings before the entrees for the 3rd time because this girl's track record for the past few minutes isn't reliable.
40 minutes later.
We receive all of our food at the same time! At this point I feel it's my fault for not getting up and leaving. Food was sub par for the time spend waiting. Now before you try and jump on me about it being Hooters and that it's not good food. The one in Farmingdale, NY was amazing, great food and service all round.
At this time I'm tired of writing this review I feel I spent too much time on something so crappy.
Word of advice:
"Waitresses" Get your heads out of your asses too the ones we had interacted with. There were waitresses that were at the bar and serving their zone perfectly and shouldn't be applied to this review.
Management, I don't know what you're doing, but take sometime from whatever you're doing and watch your floor. I'm sorry but if this is how you hire, or train your employees then your just as much too blame for this as them.
Beh.
Wings r always awesome here
Portions are good
Wait staff are nice and helpful
Service is good
They need HD TV's. cmon man!! Â This place needs major update!!
i only come here to watch UFC ppv. Â They turn off the music when the ppv starts. Â Thank god
The music they play is horrible
Teeny bopper pop bullcrap
I went there to have dinner with a friend on 2/2/12 and got no service. Â As soon as we walked in, we were greeted within our first two steps with "You can sit anywhere you want" from the entire wait staff just hanging out at the first table near the entrance. Â The wait staff ,all on their cellphones chit-chatting having a break or something. Â Didnt even offer to walk us to our table. Â
So we sat near the middle of the room, and waited to be served. Â And we waited. Â After ten minutes we were scratching our heads because it wasnt even a full house neither was it empty. Â Server after server continued to walk past us like we were ghosts. Â A total of twenty minutes goes by and we didnt even get asked if we wanted anything to drink.
So we decided to wait another five minutes to see if any of the wait staff would move from their hangout table to serve a couple of patient customers. Â It was our fourth visit since last month. Â
The five minutes pass and I stand up to put on my coat and walk out quietly. Â Two steps away from the door a man in a button shirt and jeans steps out in front of me as I walk towards the exit and asks me "Are you coming in? Â Are you leaving?" and I just walked out.
Seriously what kind of service is that? Â Im not asking to walk on rose petals but at least have a trained wait staff or some kind of management to attend to the customer. Â
We decided to go to Boom Burger in Rochelle Park, now that place was so much better, servers were on top of their game and the food was great.
Im sad to say that I wont be going back to this Hooters restaurant, might try the ones in Paramus or Wayne for future visits.
I went to this Hooters the other day and it was the worst wing experience I had ever experienced! The wings were all oily. The buffalo shrimp was more than fried, they were hard fried and soaked in oil. It was just gross. There were cobwebs in the fixtures on the ceiling. Overall it was the worst chain dining experience I ever had. Boo on Hooters.
Review Source:Feeling nauseous as I type this but I would like to spare the next person who knows what fried chicken is supposed to taste and be fried.I don't care that Hooters is a Franchise but Frying chicken 101 remove from basket on to a napkin to absorb the excess oil and breading.NOT DUMP IT ON A PLATTER AND SERVE IT TO CONSUMERS AND EXPECT MONEY!!! Upon complaint to the manger he made the attempt to say that's it only because their breaded...So is Poppeyes KFC and the Chinese chicken wings and they don't sell you the scrapings from the bottom of the vat of oil......GROSS!!! Never again if this is representitive of Hooters I'll stay with above said chicken spots.
Review Source:Hooters used to be about great wings and great looking waitresses. The wings are still great even though they nickel and dime you for every little thing. Blue cheese, ranch and now celery are extra. Â The wings are also soaked in oil. It was kind of a mess. It's probably why the place is dead on a Friday night.
All of the waitresses look like they are twelve and its not good. Not one good looking girl at a hooters and that's coming from my wife. Â So that's no bull.
Skip this place and try the one on rt17.
Spread your wings!
First time at Hooters after hearing years worth of leering chuckles about tasty servers and wings. Â This one room, loud, Â style devoid restaurant saved on decor and invested into mobile, walking decorations that also serve your food. Â
When entering, you can see straight into the "kitchen" which sits behind the bar and is galley style. Â There were NO LESS than 8 baskets of already cooked wings just sitting above the oil...waiting for the next sucker to order soggy, Â not crisp wings.
The area where they "flour" the wings before cooking was strewn with flour and chunks of god knows what. Â In came a kitchen worker with a yucky grey plastic box filled with RAW wings and dumped them into the vat next to the flour. Â We ordered 50 wings to go. Â When we got home 6 minutes later, they were soft and the skin was goggley. Â OK I just made that word up but you get my meaning? Â I put them in the oven for 15 minutes and brought them back to life. Â But it was the pre-cooking of so many wings, left sitting, not the fact that we had a 6 minutes drive home that made them soggy.
The mild wings were tasteless and the medium were what I would have called mild.  If you like the non-breaded, sauced buffalo wings, you will be disappointed, as I was.  I could barely taste any buffalo flavor on the mediums and they were dry.  Don't bother with the clam chowder-  it is mostly liquid, with very few recognizable fresh ingredients.  The garden salad was decent and only $5.00 and enough for 2 to share.  The wings and drumettes  were big in size and the price was good for the quantity of wings.   The bar server that helped me was pleasant. Â
With this review I begin a 'great wings' search in Bergen County. Â So far, best wings at Pub 101 in Bogota...(and killer burgers too!) except they're the size of your thumb and not cheap...onward and upward cluck!
Ugh, horrible experience. Â Apparently when you order a burger "medium" it means go throw it onto the grill until absolutely no juices come out anymore and then serve it. Â Horribly dry and overdone. Â I know you generally come here for wings, but come on, it's a burger.
Service - once again, pretty horrible. Â Can't remember the girl's name but the majority of the time she was sitting at the bar playing one of the "touch" video games along with another server. Â When I saw a manager walk in their direction, I figured he would say something, considering how horrible that looks to have your employees playing a game, instead of taking care of the customers. Â Well I was right. He did say something. Â He gave them pointers on the video game. Â
Oh and I ordered a side of blue cheese with my food. Â Normally blue cheese at least has a little bit of the cheese chunks and actually tastes like blue cheese. Â Needless to say this stuff was ranch. Â I mentioned it to my server (after trying to get her attention for about 5-10 minutes), and she started arguing with me that it was blue cheese. Â Finally got some blue cheese eventually. Â About 10 minutes later I could hear the table next to me compain to her as well about the same problem, and she argued with them as well. Â
Don't think I will be visiting this place any time soon. Â Beware!!!
This was by far the worst service I've ever gotten my life. Â There were only 2 tables that were being served during lunch and it still took us 40 minutes to get our burgers. Â However they forgot 2 of our entrees and got us the wrong drinks. Â By the time they brought out the other two entrees they were completely not what we ordered. Â I'm never going back there ever again
Review Source:I'm a hooters lover and proud of it. I don't mind the skimp girls or drunk perverts. Just leave me to my wings and I'll leave you to your perversion. Â
This particular Hooters has a grimy feel. And well I suppose consistent to the delightfully tacky mantra. I mean, the girls are subpar, and almost look prepubescent. Â But, their service is on point and the wings are just as good as any of the better Hooters. Â So.. with that said, I'll continue to visit this location.
The girls that work here.. white trash, half of them on drugs, what do you expect. some are dumber then bricks. Â 99 cent 10 once domestics (+1) Â All you can eat wings on tuesdays (+1) Â The wings themselves.... not spicy even if you get them hot. and the quality is terrible. Â you can try to eat all you can eat but good luck after the second plate cause these wings are badddd. Â Fried pickles... yea i like them but wont feel good if you eat a whole order.
They have fire water connected to it which has a decent beer selection 30 beers on tap i think? Â I never really see ppl in there though and all the darts were broken when i tried to play. Â Not to mention the shit floating in my beer making me think that the tap hasn't been pulled for weeks.
Local watering hole. Â Very crowded during game nights, but tables spaced out enough where you don't feel crowded. Â
Staff's very nice and attentive. Â
Food's not bad.. one time the shrimp was slightly .. pasty !? Wings aren't bad, but sometimes over fried..
This place definitely improved from years past.. when I ran screaming after seeing the bathroom
Made a quick pit stop on my way back from the Poconos. Â Not the greatest Hooters I've ever been to, but it did the trick. Â I was in the mood for a burger and was actually looking for a diner, but was running out of real estate before the GW so I knew I could grab a decent burger at Hooters.
Ordered a root beer, bowl of New England clam chowder and a blue cheeseburger. Â I was a little disappointed because the waitress brought the chowder out with the burger. Â It was lukewarm, but I added some spice by stirring in Hooters own hot sauce. Â The burger hit the spot with crumbled blue cheese on top. Â Served with a pickle and baked beans. Â Baked beans were surprisingly good in a barbequey type sauce.
My waitress was cute and friendly and the service was fast. Â I was probably in and out and back on the road in less than 25 minutes.
OMG!! i went here a while ago with a friend of mine. i wasn't really hungry so I decided to get the buffalo shrimp. (I love seafood)..what a mistake...talk about felling like you're eating a bowl of grease!! it wasn't good at all. The night we went it wasn't crowded at all. we were served pretty quickly. But i could not stomach the oily mess that was sitting in front of me. It also tasted like the oil was old. i felt bad not to eat my food because my friend was paying, but I told him I'm sorry I just can't do it. He offered me some of his wings but I was so turned off that I declined..I vowed i would never eat at Hooters again
Review Source:i don't care what your reason is for going to hooter's and i don't  care what you say about me loving this place but i do. and i'm proud.
why?
because their beer special is absolutely fantastic. we like to get the 30 hot naked wings, fried pickles, and two pitchers of blue moon ($8.99 each!) and call it a day. fat? yes. happy? of course. cheap? most definitely.
what's more alluring about this place is that they have a bar next door (Firewater) where they have 50+ beers on tap. you can bring food from hooters next door if you'd like.
awesome!
What can I say about this Hooters that hasn't been said about the others? I'm a huge fan of their wings and mostly that's all I get all the time. Tuesday's all-you-can-eat wings rock! along with their $0.99 beer.
I have only sat at the bar so far, and the service has been great. I have always noticed there's a good amount of waitresses so I'm guessing service is good at a table too.
The one thing I can say about this one Hooters in particular is that, coming from Miami and comparing with the Hooters there, the level of spiciness here is a little higher, which is awesome, a "hot" wing is a hot wing, and I loooooooove that they have tater-tots as appetizers =)
Hooters is great if you enjoy mediocre food and getting nickel and dimed at every corner. Â For a place that creates so much hype for itself over how great their wings are, the reality is a wing that is deeply fried and overly greasy on the inside. Â There are any number of places in North Jersey (be they chains like Charlie Browns or local places) that do wings a lot better. Â Adding insult to injury they make you pay 99 cents for the privilege of getting celery and bleu cheese with the wings. Â Thanks to Hooters, I can look forward to the day when I get charged 99 cents to put mustard on my hot dog. Â The rest of their menu is more junk that is great if you want to suffer a massive heart attack as you pull onto Route 4.
Besides their crummy food, you also get a trip back in time to when the Hooters uniform was still considered risque. Â Today these hand me downs from 1988 look incredible lame and unsexy. Â Keds, really high socks, and awful flesh colored pantyhose- awful. Â It still amazes me why they don't just let the girls wear jeans and a tank top. Â It'll still draw in the 13 and 14 year old boys who keep this place afloat, while making their waitresses look less embarrassing. Â
I've long gotten crap for not being a supporter of this chain ("but bro the girls are hot!") but enough is enough. Â The food stinks, so I guess guys go for the girls. Â I don't understand why they wouldn't just go to a strip club instead. Â They'd probably save some money.
I like this place. It's never super crowded the food is good. You get what you ask for basically. Definitely try the cheese steak with your wings! It's a good place if your on a budget but yet want to go out for a drink with a friend(s). Try the bar next door, FireWaters. It's hysterical. It's really lame but worth the laugh!! But, they do have 50 beers on tap! That's sweet.
Review Source:I don't think this chain needs any introduction...it's classic family restaurant all the way.
The wings are tasty, beer is fine, and the no cover on pay-per-view nights is absolutely golden.
Also, and this is going back a few years now, they used to have a promo that every time the Yankees or Mets scored, everyone was entitled to a free wing or a shot or something. Don't know exactly, but I remember it was good.
Especially for teenage guys that have nothing else "cool" to do in North Jersey, this isn't a bad spot.
My friends living in Bergen County and I gave this restaurant a warm welcome when it opened in 2004. It saved us time from driving to the crowded Paramus location.
Tonight, my brother and a friend returned to this location with me and decided to enjoy a few pitchers of Yuengling, 50 9-1-1 wings and some fries. The curly fries were copasetic, but we came here for the wings. I never order anything "milder." Nude (without the breading) wings don't taste the same. Although "9-1-1" are the hottest flavor on the menu, they are not the hottest wings I have ever tasted. I ate a dozen meaty chicken wings.
"Dani" our waitress was cute, friendly and provided us with attentive service. There were many televisions around the entire restaurant, so we could be occupied with the Nets/Pistons game or even the World's Strongest Man competition. FYI, if you come here for a Saturday night fight, come early. After a certain time, the doors are locked (preventing new customers from entering).
Overall, the rumors of hot buxom hires are not necessarily true in here. Once in a while, you see someone who catches your eye... and every other dude in the restaurant tries to flirt with her and fails miserably to obtain her phone number. Looking around, the aesthetics of wait staff ranged from average-looking to "how did you get a job here?" No one donning orange Daisy Dukes looked like the Bride of Frankenstein, though.
I leave you with a moment of Zen:
       Mr owl!                        Listen, kid,  I don't
    How many licks                  know the Tootsie roll
    does it take to                   but surely you've never
   get to the center                   touched a woman.
  of a Tootsie pop?                 Welcome to Hooters!

I had a good time and will return (for wings and beer, nothing more)!
