Yes 5 stars, it is as good as it gets for a wing and beer joint.....
In Maryland (PG county) service seems to be hard to find. Not at Hooters in Laurel. IF there is a problem, which is rare, it is taken care of. The food has always been on point. Hot and good. The beer is cold. Service and get what you order timely and hot, sounds easy....but like I said....it is a rarity in PG. Oh yeah and the managers are the best, especially Rachel....:)
I went twice during my visit to the area.
Monday evening visit I had the AYCE wings special. Â The food delivery was a little slow, but other than that all was well. Â Had a pleasant Hooters Girl who was busy but found time to have pleasant chat with me often.
I also went for a lunch. Â Food delivery time was much better for my buffalo chicken sandwich. The Hooters Girl was also friendly and conversational.
Overall a pleasant Hooters experience.
Wings were disgusting! Too much breading and greasy.....but even worse than the wings was the bartender Ariana. She possessed no people skills what so ever. Barely spoke to us while we were seated at the bar having food and drinks. There were only 2 other people at the bar so she wasn't busy at all. When we got up to leave she said NOTHING, not a thank you, have a nice day or anything. I wanted to go back and take my tip back! Poor customer service! I would NEVER spend my money there again. I ended up down the road at Friday's where the bartenders were friendly and deserving of my tip.
Review Source:Ok so I came here with a group of my co workers for a lunch. I dont usually go to Hooters but I was like yeah Im hungry whatever. The restaraunt is good size and relatively clean. The waitress was nice and handled the big group easily witha  smile.
The service was a bit slow in getting our food, and of course I get mine last! That is how it goes though. This is a typical Hooters, chicken, beer, skimpy outfits on waitresses. Why else would you want to come here? The food was ok, the prices on par with other Hooters.
I would rather go to a different restaraunt than this to eat, but hey it is always good for a beer and a game.
It is no surpise this place has an overall rating at this time of 2 stars. Â I wanted to ad my low review of this substandard place to eat. Â I seriously go here sometimes to go to a different place, and eat their chicken sandwich. Â The fried pickles are also good.
The Service:
I have never had good service here. Â Mostly what I have had was waitresses with BAD ATTITUDES. Â I don't know who hires the help in this place. Â Every woman I have come across has had a snotty attitude, with the exception of the waitress today, who had this really fake laugh and smile. Â Every time I have gotten a sandwich they have not asked me if I wanted the cole slaw or backed beans, but just forgot them.
The Food:
Although not the best selection, the food, for what it is, is generally pretty good. How can you mess up a burger? Â Today however, they were having the "all you can eat wings" Â They mean to say "all you can WAIT wings" Â I waited 30 minutes for the first round of "boneless wings" that looked more like Chicken Nuggets dipped in sauce. Â Then another half hour for my second helping that REALLY looked like chicken nuggets with a little but of sauce on it.
The Price:
I would say high priced. Â Especially today when I paid 10 dollars for 20 really small chicken nuggets...
The atmoshere:
I like the location and decor of the restaurant. Â However, I would traid good service for some waitress with cleavage leaning over the table any day of the week.
Bring me what I ordered. Â On time, and keep the cleavage...
Wanna have a restaurant with pretty women serve you food? Â Cool. Â
Pretty women with bad attitudes and poor customer service, you can keep it!
Maybe if I showed more Plumber butt crack I would get better service????
3 stars for Hooters from a woman....crazy, right? Â After Red Sky disappointed us by running out of crab legs, the bf suggested we go to Hooters to get my crab leg fix. Â My initial thoughts....."what???"....."you're nuts!"....etc., etc. Â But to my surprise, the Hooters crab legs were actually solid! Â And at only $13.99 per pound, surprisingly affordable! Â I wish the Hooters in Phoenix had crab legs.....actually, no I don't. :)
Review Source:Worst bar tender ever!!! I ordered a vodka soda. Simple enough, right? Wrong. Homegirl sent me a shot of vodka. When I sent it back and told them how to make it, I received another shot of vodka with four ice cubes and a dash of soda water. SMH.
The food is dreadful. My chicken sandwich was overcooked and the bread was cold. Fail.
I've been to other Hooters and didn't have any issues with the food. This location SUX. Sadly, I'll probably go back to watch UFC with the boyfriend. Next time, I'll eat before I go.
Gone here for lunch a couple of times.  Service is fast and friendly which is good.  Food has came out perfect each time.  Scenery, hmmm  we got to use the a different scale.  A Team = Sucks the higher the letter the better.  Both times I have gone it has been the A Team... guess I need to go there on a Friday or Saturday evening to see the C/D Team.
Review Source:I was real disappointed. This is the first time I ever had so many things done wrong. Wings came first, they were soggy and very greasy.Next the fried onion twists came out after I was already done with my wings(10). Finally my raw oysters came out about 10 minutes after that, and they were jelly-like and very gritty. I know there is some grit but this was ridiculous. I couldn't enjoy them. I had to use my pocket knife to loosen them from shell because i didn't get utensils and a plate for bones and shells until i asked at end. I have never had an experience at a Hooters like this ever. Place was only about half full, plenty of staff. They messed up the order on the table next to me and they got up and left.
Review Source:The best hooters are in Florida. Â This is not Florida.
I've been here 2 times now. Â The first time the girl was on her A game, and even a little pushy with the merch. Â Nice hustle. Â Unfortunately my wings were not really breaded, they were lighty dusted, and dont you dare argue with a waitress here they will eff you up. Â So I kept my mouth shut.
The second time I came the food was much better, I knew to ask for my wings to be heavily breaded (but dang it I forgot to ask for just flaps!). Â Our waitress though looked like she just fell off the pole and into a heap of hemp. Â I don't know if she was ill or just highly medicated. Â She was nice, don't get me wrong, but something was just a bit off. Â
I don't have high expectations of a non-Florida hooters, but its easy, affordable, and the boy likes his wings (oysters if he can find them). Â And its fun.
Now I know the girls are supposed to be the attraction here, not the food. In five pairs of pantyhose, anyone can have nice legs. Even me. Â What I just don't understand is how this scene can suck in such a range of genetic deformities from the DC-Baltimore area. I am not talking about the waitresses. I will leave them alone because they have to put up with looking at and pretending to be flattered by the attentions of the ugliest men who ever escaped a reptile tank. For a long time, I thought Newark, New Jersey was America's epicenter of ugly. Then, I went to this Hooter's in Laurel. Christ, these people are ugly. We're talking rank, solid, white trash probably from Glen Burnie. Freckles on top of zits-ugly. Prince of Wales-toothed, bat-eared, bugger-eating ugly. I do believe one gentleman had cancer of the lip.
Review Source:I called my boys to see where they were catching the 1:00 games, and they were here so I went to meet up with them. Â They rarely patronize Hooters so I was a little surprised, but who cares, not like my team is playing right now anyway. Â
The clientele was not as bad as I anticipated considering 1) It's a Hooters & 2) It's a Hooters in Laurel. Â They actually were pretty subdued. Â In fact the whole feel of the place was rather muted which was strange...and during football? Â Weird. Â Anyway, the tv's all had taped signs to them as to which game would be shown on that tv which I found helpful. Â I set my sights on the Dallas game with occasional glances to check out the Ravens cause I think their coach is a cutie. Â
The girls were above-average, but they were rather young. Â As in, babysitter young and innocent. Â I just don't find that appealing, but there is a non-threatening quality about it. Â There were several couples eating and the wives seemed pretty unfazed. Â Probably because, once again, it reminded them of their babysitter. Â Maybe guys do secretly fantasize about getting it on with this type. Â I don't know.
Grilled cheese was fine. Â Beer was fine.
My only gripe with this place are the gratuitous amounts of Steelers paraphernalia to include:
1. Â Terrible towels on the wall
2. Â Huge 6-time Superbowl Champ banner &
3. Â Huge "THIS IS STEELERS COUNTRY" banner...Ummmm NOOOO IT'S NOT, DUMBASS
And don't get me wrong, I love Polamalu (I'm praying for you, papi) as much as the next girl, and I gots respect for the Steelers, but this ain't their territory. Â Why??? Â I could even live with it being draped in a bunch of Ravens merchandise, but the Steelers??? Â Who sanctioned this??? Â WHO SANCTIONED THIS??? Â It's just wrong. Â Just freakin' wrong.
I don't come to Hooters to enjoy their exquisite cuisine. No the food here sucks even as just bar food it's just meh not good. Except if you are real hungry then anything taste good. I don't come to Hooters for snobbish service or snooty waiters and sommeliers to look down on me if I don't know the precise pairing of a particular wine with a particular dish. No they are lucky here if they know what they have on tap. To them Corona is an exotic import, if you mention something like Dos Equis all you get in return is a weird blank stare followed by a nose crunch and eye roll while shaking of head with shoulder shrug.
I don't come to Hooters to be a foodie, food snob or expecting a great dining experience. I come to Hooters to hang out with the guys watch the sports on the many TVs around the room, trash talk shoot the bull act silly and remember old times. Most of all I come to Hooters for well lets be honest HOOTERS!!! I want to see nice young hotties bopping about in tight outfits. Nice being waited on by attractive young ladies. Hooters is just someplace for the boys like a men's clubhouse, that you can go and hang out for a couple of hours to get away from wives and girlfriends or if you are real single then you can pretend for a moment that these flirty girls are there just for you and you are special. However not all Hooters are the same. Some locations the staff are better than others. I've been in locations where they all look like Playboy centerfolds perfect in every way and other places where they look more sk..... well how can I put it not so fresh and not so fit. To wear those outfits you must be in shape period. Just like an athlete must be in shape to be at the top of his game. So no hate mail on discrimination due to appearance. :-P
On this particular day I'm here to begin my decent into being a married man but must first go through a series of rituals that have been pass down since the dawn of civilization. This is the bachelor party night and first stop of many others is Hooters. Chose this local cause we are starting off in Burtonsville and it's close by.
The parking lot was jam-packed with motorcycles. Turns out there was a biker gang in there having a party. Yeah boy nothing like that divy feeling with a biker gang in a guy place, grunt grunt. We manage to find a table there are 5 of us so far so good. Lots of Hooters gals bopping about the place about bending over the tables. Gals shaking their junk to get bigger tips and bouncing to the songs being played by the DJ yep these bikers had a DJ there. It was a Latin biker club. Since they don't make a minimum wage can you blame them cost of living is high nowadays. They do what they must and I as a guy certainly don't mind at all. Our waitress who was wearing a borrowed Redskins jersey seemed a little grumpy at first I guess too many biker dudes grabbing her. She lighten up and became real nice and friendly after a short time with us. Her hope is to try out for the Redskinettes very soon. Good luck with that I know some former Redskins cheerleaders it's pretty tough standards.
The place was loud our waitress didn't know different beers but we don't hold it against her just keep it simple and you'll do fine. Order up some boneless microwaved wings and a pitcher on tap or well known bottles, that's it. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated, don't be a whiny snooty jerk, be a man enjoy the gals, watch the TVs and talk crap with the boys. Everything is in perspective and all is right in manhood. It is what it is.
I like the concept of Hooters and understand that its the working mans hang out. Yes it would be nice if they had the trivia game machines like they have over at Buffalo Wild Wings and food like at Wild Wings then I would give them 4 stars. Alas it is what it is. A-OK in my book.
I'm a frugal and dedicated UFC fan, which means I do not pay for Pay-Per-View to watch fights, but I never miss one either. Instead, I have to go to the nearest Hooters and endure the torturous false flirtation of the sub-par ladies adorned in unflattering muffin-toppery. Seriously, there have to be some good-looking girls within the greater College Park/Laurel area. Alas, none of them work here.
Once our server realized we were not here for wings, ogling, or beer, she became extremely inattentive, even ignoring us when we asked for more water. It could have been she didn't have enough oxygen resulting from vasoconstriction by the three-sizes-too-small spandex muffin top cover, or "shirt" if you will. Or maybe she is not used to guys being indifferent to her bending over the table tip-boosting tactics when taking drink orders, exposing her nasty, venous chest to an uncaring audience.
The fight came on at 3 PM since it was broadcast live from Dublin, Ireland, but the manager decided to turn the volume off. I began to get steamed, so I politely sought him out and asked him to turn the volume up.
Brace yourself for what he said:
"There are still a lot of families with kids here eating, so we're going to keep the volume down on the fight." WHAT?! I went back to the table and told my friend Julian, fellow frugal UFC fan, what the guy said. If you bring your five year old to Hooters, where a bunch of chicks are walking around half-naked and tackiness and distaste are advertised like appetizers, then why would you care if Joe Rogan is chatting commentary over the television?
Rant on Hooters in general:
I think Hooters is a ridiculous concept for the same reason I think strip clubs are useless: mediocre-to-decent girls scantly clad walking around for no real purpose to the customer other than tip embellishment for the staff. How do the patrons benefit from this? I have done some complex cost-benefit analysis into this matter and have found a whopping 0% benefit to the customer. And yet fat, creepy middle-aged guys still bring their kids, elderly parents, and girlfriends here. Hooters is not entertaining, it is not fun, and the food is terrible.
I never have gone, and never will go, to Hooters for any purpose other than watching UFC.
I go to Hooters and like it. I know, it is kind of odd to see a woman (straight) liking the joint and all you feminists out there can think and say whatever. I do feel for the waitresses though, trying to imagine myself squeezed into the tight leotard where an ounce of extra fat would tear the uniform in pieces... **shudder**
I like the wings and on WEDnesdays, you can get 10 wings and beer (you can substitute for soda) for $5!!!!!!!!! Beat that right??? I did noticed the wings are just LITTLE bit smaller on Wednesdays vs other days but hey $5 is $5.
I do HATE this particular location b/c;
1. service: the place is crowded every Wednesday night (trivia night) and the manager dude never schedules a hostess. So it's an absolute chaos trying to get a table.
2. service: due to the crowd, you can't get enough attention of the waitresses. I guess it can be attributed to the fact that they are busy at tables seated by men so they can get better tips.... I don't know why but they are never there...
Would I go back? Hell, ya, $5 for 10 wings **mmmmm goooood**
