OK, most Hooters are pretty much the same. This one in the Doral area packs them in for lunch and has indoor and outdoor seating. It's a large, clean nice Hooters with many TV's tuned into sports.
The ladies are always lovely and some hotter than then hot wings at this location, which is why the local lunch bunch of guys seem to keep coming back and why my customers love it and why I never complain :-)
OK this is Yelp so I need to mention the food, it's good,... There I did it.
Ughhh, Ok. When I go to a restaurant I like getting good service, good food, and great ambience. The only thing this place has going for it is their specials on Wednesday for $5.99 boneless which is now $6.99. I absolutely HATE the service I receive when I come to this place. I rather drive an extra 20 minutes than deal with women who think their job is to just stand there and look pretty, because although its a qualification, they are still a waitress. Attitude galore, less than happy mentality, and managers that sit their and gawk at the girls all day is not what I want when I go out. Not to mention the host will see some people walking towards the door and close it in their face. RUDE? sure. The Hooters on coral way has MUCH better service and guys: the girls are still as pretty. AND I think this is just for Hooters all around, their $5 margarita's are absolutely terrible, their drinks are always very very soft, and too sugary.
But, the boneless wings are really good and that is the only reason why I go back, occasionally on Wednesdays.
Man, where do I even begin? I went here with a group of buddies for a night of wings and relaxation and was truly let down. First of all we arrive there and we are told there is a 15 minute wait, OK, no big deal we will wait. After 30 minutes of waiting we are finally seated, OK, no big deal again I understand the workings and the difficulties in the food and beverage industry. We wait a little longer and out waitress, who happens to have a strange Snooki resemblance and complex shows up and takes our drink orders and leaves with an attitude. After another short wait our drinks are given to us by a different waitress helping our table, meanwhile our waitress shows up to take our food orders. That was the last we saw of Snooki for the duration of our meal. Not only were our drinks never refilled, but we were also never checked up on, nor did our waitress deliver our plates (once again yet another waitress brought the food). Lo and behold check time comes around and Snooki decides to show herself and act all friendly as if we had been the best of buddies since grade school AND even had the "courtesy" to pencil in 15, 20, and 25% tip rates on the check. Hence, this finally set me off and there was no way I would tip such a two-faced and inconsiderate waitress so we pay the bill, and get up to leave. But wait, the episode does not end there, no sir/ma'am, Snooki picks up the ticket as we are leaving notices that we "forgot" to write in the tip and chases me down the end of the parking lot as if I was the Jesse James equivalent of the "dine and dash" bandits. When she finally catches up as I am getting into my car she has the nerve to announce to me that I had "forgotten" to include my tip to which I responded to the reasons aforementioned for the omission of tip. As I am displeased to report she was not too accepting of this explanation and proceeded to curse me out and use such verbiage that even the "guidoest" of guidos on the Jersey shore would be offended to process through their thick skulls. Never have I ever been so disgusted leaving a food establishment that I did not even bother reporting her. Either way there is no way I will ever set foot again in this Hooters. I would rather watch a 12-hour Jersey Shore marathon paired along with the non-stop screeching of nails on a chalkboard than see her face again. Shame on you.
Review Source:It's Hooters. You come here to watch a game with the guys or girls if they don't mind the whole skimpy outfit thing. I'm actually surprised the food is good. The chefs here actually put in some pride into what they do. I commend them on that. Prices are cheap and they always hold some type of event here which is nice. The waitresses are all nice and are on point with timely service. I haven't been disappointed from this location yet and don't think it'll happen any time soon.
Review Source:this may be the best hooters in america. Â no joke. Â i have traveled to many hooters, far and wide, in search of the best hooters "service" out there. Â and i think i found it.
this place was packed on a wednesday nite! Â i asked our waitress if it was always like that, and she confirmed. Â i guess the secret was out. Â
don't bother with the hooters downtown, this is where it's at. Â sit at the bar too.
Great place to go with friends! The servers usually try and rush you that's why I didn't rate this 5 stars. This place gets packed on the weekends! It does have a lot of servers so the wait isn't bad at all once seated. Everyone is very friendly and our orders have always been correct. My son lost his Nintendo DS here once. We realized it a few a hours later. Called Hooters and his Nintendo ds was there waiting in the managers office :-)
Review Source:I had the mahi. Â It was a teensy bit dry--but otherwise tasty. Â Their fried pickles were like a delicious sodium-bomb exploding in my mouth.
And, I hope I don't sound creepy--but DAMN. Â I have never seen this many hot chicks, even at other Hooters.
Go on Wing Wednesday or Burger Monday. Â You'll drool... one way or another.
As far as food.....its NOT very good, but again its hooters. The women are very beautiful and better than any hooters I've been to around the country. I think most of them are hispanic. The service is not very good and like I said neither is the food. If you want eye candy this is the place for you, but this is miami everywhere you go theres beautiful women, so I would just recommend you go somewhere else and save your money instead. You want eye candy go to a stripclub where I'm pretty sure the food and service would be better.
Review Source:It's Hooters, OK? Don't get your hopes up in regards to the food.
However - when it comes to the "talent"? 5 stars baby!
This Hooters is and has always been by far the best in Miami. This place gets mad packed during Heat and Dolphin games, so get there early.
You've got Chili's right beside it, so the best thing is to hop from one to the next!
Came here last night with a couple of friends to watch the heat game. I've never really came here to dine and drink during a heat game so it was a first experience.. don't get me wrong I've been here before but not for this occasion. This place wasn't packed at all which was incredible, well it sorta of was anyways the service was whatever the the hooters girl took forever to bring our drinks, plus she would forget to ring in the items, her friends were sitting behind us so she would also go and sit and chat with them while we waited for our drinks which really wasnt professional. I mean i understand they're your friends but at the time same time make sure you're focusing on your job to you know. She was a nice girl though, the food we only ordered onion rings and shrimp they both tasted pretty good, greasy but it was alright.
I would recommend this place to be honest, like I said sometimes a business has its days when it does good and it does bad. So I will come again!
Second time and I struck out again. Won't be going back a third time. Bayside Hooters is so much better, even with the auto gratuity.
Don't sit at the bar. The waitresses have a horrible habit of ignoring you, even when you are within arm's reach of them. Â First time food came out okay and timely, waitress never came back to check on me or refill my drink, and took and additional 20 minutes to get her to bring me the check while she was in the back room eating and playing on her phone.
Second time and three weeks later, got the same waitress, maybe she had a rough time when I was last there...yeah right. This time asked me for my drink and appetizer, came out promptly. I assumed while I was working my way through the appetizer, she would ask me what I would like to have for the main course. That never happened. She did the same thing again, disappearing and walking past me without saying a word. I was done with my app for a good 15 minutes and still no service. I got one of the mangers to close my tab and I took my business to Burger King. Best 7 dollars I have ever spent.
Sadly, there was an older gentleman sitting at the bar next to me, and he was being ignored just as well, but I look across on the other side of the bar, there was a semi-handsome guy and he seemed to be getting better service. I'm assuming the chicks at the bar only wanted to deal with good-looking patrons. Money doesn't care what you look like, but it seems like the waitresses(at the bar) do.
bad trip...
we ordered the boneless wing platters. the food was fine but other things lacked. the unsweetened tea tasted like they left soap in the urn from improperly washing it.
our waitress was one beer short of a 6 pack. i ordered unsweetened tea, she brings me raspberry tea, then disappears for a bit. finally she shows up and swaps my tea with some vile concoction. we swap again for pepsi.
next she goes to clean the table behind us and i feel a squirt of something on my leg. it was a weird feeling to experience in a hooters. she managed to shoot my leg with windex from 6 feet away. totally missed the table she was cleaning. she was embarrassed and apologized.
we finish eating and i spot her from about 20 feet away. i make the universal gesture for money. most waitstaff know exactly what that means... bring the check please.
she walks over and is like dedeedeeh...
(oh geez. lord help me....)
i ask her for the check and shes like, oh that!
my hooters experience has generally been the girls are good looking AND fairly smart, not this time!
Oh HOOTERS! remember when they had a football team? Hooters to me was a great place in the early 90's a place where those skimpy outfits (at least were in that decade) wings and beer drew thousands to hooters. It was the place to be when the Hurricanes were the bad @$$es of football. That was then this is now. Those outfits aren't so skimpy anymore. The wings have seen better days. The beer taste better and cost less in various other establishments. Hooters has revamped the menu and started selling liqour as well. Honestly the food isn't all that great. And the atmosphere at times could be congested with some weird people stalking the poor waitresses, and it really isn't the best place to watch a game. Again Hooters was glorious 20 years ago but today it simply falls short to other places. The one thing hooters has is their buffalo shrimp its delicious and far exceeds buffalo shrimp from Ale house and Flannigans.
Review Source:Sometimes you just need a cold beer and some chicken wings... And this is the best place to go. I've tried different places for their wings and Hooters definitely has the meaty wings ( if someone knows of another place, let me know PLEASE!!!!)
They have a big outdoor seating area which is where I like to sit when I go. During the weekend, it gets packed and sometimes the parking can be a nightmare since you have Walmart right next to it. The plus as you wait... Bar is right there, so grab a pitcher and wait for your table.
Service here is either hit or miss. I've gotten great waitresses that are very attentive and some that only pay attention to the tables with all men. Â
They usually don't mess up my order and food does come out pretty quickly.
I don't like sitting inside too much bc it seems a bit too loud and people are literally sitting very very close.
Mixed drinks are also a hit and miss. These aren't professional bartendars, so sometimes there's a splash of alcohol in my drink and other times there's a little more.... My suggestion: Â Stick with the beer, you'll end up saving some money.
This is definitely a good place to hang out with friends, drink some beer and have some yummy chicken wings. Ooohh yeah and some curly fries with cheese.
This has been the #1 Hooters in the World for the past 3 years. In other words, they are the highest-grossing Hooters on the planet. They definitely live up to this title with quality wings, beer specials, and service. But they are also always busy, so expect to wait a bit for a table depending on the size of your party. So if you don't mind a packed, noisy restaurant featuring some of the finest Hooters girls I have seen then I highly recommend this Hooters branch.
Review Source:I haven't been to a Hooter's since they closed down the one in Kendall. Wow, that was a sad day. I had heard recently that the food sucked and to tell you the truth I don't remember it being great nor bad. Today (Veteran's Day), I decided to stop by with a few friends and found it to be extremely packed. Like to the the max. The girls working were as pretty and friendly as I remembered as they were seating us. Looking through the menu, you'll find standard greasy bar food with a few specials found throughout the week. The ones I remembered were on Monday and Wednesday. We decided on the wings, which turned out to be cheaper than I though at 50 for $30. Not hoping for the best wings in the world, I was surprised at how good these actually were. They weren't sports grill quality or anything but not as bad as I had heard. We decided to go half breaded half naked since we felt like all 50 breaded would be a bit much and this was actually a great decision. The hot sauce here is good and I don't understand all the bad hype behind the food. Maybe I just caught them on a good day, but I would not have a problem returning to try them again at all.
Review Source:Only dog UNfriendly Hooters in the Greater Miami area! Â Stopped by and were seated outside (which is fine...) Â Manager promptly sends us off since we have our dog with us. Â We tell him that this is the only Hooters that doesn't welcome our dog, to which he says he'll be speaking to them soon about that (Yeah, right...) Â We drove up to the next Hooters and were PROPERLY welcomed. Â Manager must have forgotten his fiber that day.....
Review Source:I left here asking myself what I had gotten for the money I spent.
The Lemon Pepper wings were good, but not memorable. As a matter of fact none of the food was memorable.
The only thing I would give a half star bump for is the service. We were a large party and our waitress did the best she could wrangling a bunch of hungry people, running food out and splitting the bill.
Other than that... meh, sums it up.
One of the best locations, I believe.
This place gets busy as hell at lunch and night time so plan accordingly (If you're looking to have a quiet dinner... Don't come a knockin' round here.)
The food is OK (It's Hooters remember?) but at least the service is always excellent for us. We know some of the ladies working down there and they are all fantastic and wonderful.
Busy....Busy.....Busy! Â This is the #1 location for a reason. The service was good, food was the usual Hooter stuff. Â
Tip: Â If you do not like soggy breaded wings you can order them NAKED. Â There is an extra charge for celery and dipping sauces.
Lots of TV's and other nice things to stare at!
The best way to wrap up the meal is to get the chocolate cake which is thick and rich.
I still remember my first trip to Hooters; It was 1993, I was in Baltimore for a convention and our group decided to try Hooters. Â The wings were greasy, the service was poor...I think we drank 2 pitchers of beer before the waitress remembered that she completely forgot to put our food order in, but we had a lot of fun and it was a great atmosphere with lots of photos, sports memorabilia and other stuff hanging from the walls. Â Of course, the waitresses that the place is named in honor of were there in full force, and it was a gimmicky restaurant that people were flocking to in droves. Â
Little has changed over the years and the Doral location is more of the same...Exact same "uniforms" for the waitresses, a bunch of stuff mounted and hanging everywhere, it's usually packed, and it's an OK place to meet friends for a beer and some wings. Â The food isn't anything to write home about... After you finish a plate of wings, you can see how much grease and strange, clear/orange fluid they were swimming in, your gas smells like Hooters wings for a day after you've eaten here, the sandwiches are usually covered in cheeses, and nearly everything is greasy, deep fried and unhealthy. Â However, people are still flocking here, 'cause it's all about the atmosphere and the gimmick is still selling.
