Weird and kinda terrible. Everything was sticky with beer, the waitress we had barely came by, the food was just so terrible and Buffalo Wild Wings has destroyed their business model (and actually has good wings). I'm sure if you're a 'bro' this is still a fine place to hang out, but I'm pretty much done with my hooters phase and its sad to see they aren't changing with the times.
Review Source:I've been here a lot. Â Usually I like the food. Â There are times when they overcook the wings or shrimp. When that happens you have to choose between being a tool and sending it back or suffering through it. Â I always suffer through it. Â There was also a time when the place really went to the dogs. Â I thought it might be changing hands because the management seemed comatose and the food went way downhill. Â They've brought it all the way back, though, so that didn't factor into this review.
It isn't the same as it used to be when I used to go more often. Â First, the recent change to make it a full bar doesn't seem to add anything in my view. Â This was always (in my mind) a beer and wings joint. Â Maybe people order the froufrou drinks but I can only recall seeing it once or twice. Â They also have some sort of beer tower that is popular with younger people. Â OK. Â Beer tower. Â Kind of dorky but people do order them... Â
The recent menu changes don't seem to add as much as they take away. Â One of their best items, the steamed oysters, is now off the menu. Â That's a shame. Â Hooters was unique for that up here in the northeast and I miss it. Â The buffalo shrimp are still on the menu and are still excellent although the shrimp are getting smaller all the time. Â The wings are ok. Â They can be a little greasy for me, but if you don't eat more than 20 you probably won't be sick the next day. Â If you're only eating a dozen you may feel that they are decent. Â The steamed crab legs are hit or miss, but usually they miss. Â They tend to be dried out and stringy. Â The Philly sandwiches (beef/chicken) are very good and the burgers are pretty good as well. Â The fried pickles are fine, the quesadillas are ok as are the slider concepts. Â If they still had the steamed oysters, I'd recommend the buffalo shrimp and steamed oysters and probably rate it another star or two. Â Without that, I think I have to recommend buffalo shrimp and a burger or Philly sandwich. Â I'm not sure why they can't seem to get the wings to be more competitive with other places in the area. Â They certainly cook enough of them. Â If you love wings, you're not going to like Hooters' wings.
The ambiance can be hit or miss. Â If you sit by the windows on the high tables, the stools hurt your ass, but that's the best place to sit in my opinion. Â If you don't like a sore ass, you will have to limit your stay to a little over an hour. Â If you stay too long your ass will hurt and I've always wondered if that isn't the reason why the stools are at the window seats. Â Sometimes it can be real crowded and noisy and it can be hard to get your food/beer. Â That is pretty rare, though. Â The waitresses really work to get the customers taken care of. Â One caveat for people going to watch a game. Â In the past they cut you off after a pitcher/person so it was hard to watch a full game here. Â Lately it seems like they've relaxed that rule. Â It seems like they are doing more to get people to come in and possibly stay. Â Some nights they do trivia and that is annoying. Â It's better than Karaoke but not by much. Â At least the TVs are plentiful and usually you can see the game you want.
The servers are very good. Â It's a serious chain so I'm sure the training is intense. Â I think the waitresses don't use their real names and that's probably smart. Â I think all of the "naughty" concept places should do that. Â Too many weird people out there, not counting me and my friends! Â Most often the servers are part of the entertainment and the fun of coming here. Â I think overall you can have a great time with the right people and you might have a decent meal on top of it. Â Don't let some prude convince you to avoid Hooters. Â Plenty of families come here, plenty of mixed company comes here and you'll see more curves at the gym or at the beach than you do here. Â It's not nearly as racy as they would like people to think.
I went to this hooters in Ct for Lunch. Â The waitress is super nice but the food quality is sub-par. I ordered just simple wings, fries and a beer. wings ( too thick with flour) tasteless and thehot wings flavors are, drum rollll, flavorless.
I could get better wings and fries in a food truck. The only good thing was the beer ( heineken). I Probably will not come back to this location as location varies when it comes to chain restaurant.
I bring my daughter at least once a year to a local photographer in Milford.  We usually eat at the friendlys down the street, but this time we wanted to try hooters, as we heard that they have good food.  It was on a Thursday, at lunch time, so the place was not busy at all  We were welcomed and then sat down right away.  Our waitress was very friendly and happy.  I ordered wings and my daughter ordered a Quesadilla.  My wings were just blah, that is why they are only getting a 3 star, but my daughter loved her food very much. The waitress was very attentive and even complimented my daughter, which makes any 15 yr old feel great!  I would give 5 stars to the girls that work there and 3 for quality of food.  We probably will be back the next time we are in town.
Review Source:Maybe it's because I'm a girl and I have my own pair of breasts. Maybe it's because I have a better view of the game on my TV at home. Maybe it's because the wings come out half-cold and honestly, are not that tasty.
I have to give Hoots, as I so endearingly call it, a mere two stars. Because honestly, orange hot pants and busting bobbies aside, there really are better sports bars out there!
It's not like Hooters is cheap. It's not like they offer an especially broad range of brews. It's not like the wings are really *that* good (seriously, they just aren't!). It's not like the place is exceedingly attractive in any particular way. And I really wonder how they get off billing themselves as a "family restaurant". Hmm?
So what DO I like about Hooters? The service. Thats right, they really do have great customer service. Everyone is openly greeted as soon as they enter, and I have to say, the girls do a great job of making everyone feel welcome. I'm sure they deal with a ton of horse doo-doo from some pretty perverted perps, so I give them a massive amount of credit for maintaining their upbeat, friendly, "really, I care!" attitude. Bravo ladies! And for that, I'm literally going up a star rating as I type this. Three it is. That was painful, but I'm convincing myself that somehow I'm supporting women's rights by giving Hooters an extra star up to three...
Otherwise, I'd rather catch the game at home or at a "real" sports bar. Or get wings at a place that really does a good job with them. Or bring my kids to a "real" family restaurant like Friendly's or Chuck-E-Cheese (even though that giant rat freaks me out). Because while the boobies might weigh in (no pun intended) on the dining-destination-decision for many dudes, it does nothing for me and the rest of Hooters doesn't do much for me either.
What do you expect from a chain sports bar/restaurant that markets themselves with boobs? I mean, owls.
Owls, check. Â
Beer, check. Â
Wings and bar food, check.
Tons of TVs here, won't have to worry about missing any action. Â I came here one night hoping to catch 2 NHL playoff games. Â We were able to get both games on 2 sides of the tables, 4 total TVs for our one table. Â
Food is what you'd expect. Â It's edible. Â I was hoping the fried pickles were crispier; they were moist and flimsy. Â
The 4 stars is not for the atmosphere. Â 1/2 of restaurant-goers are the stereotypical men that come to this place to feast their eyes on the owls and think that the waitresses are actually into them and they truly have a chance to walk out of the joint with some arm candy. Â The other half are here to hang out with friends and watch sports. Â I swear I'm the latter! Â Anyways...the 4 stars is for the service. Â
The waitresses all greet you with a 'welcome to Hooters!' as you waltz in through the doors. Â They are quick with drinks and are very attentive of empty glasses. Â They are quick with food orders, limited only by the chefs in front of the frialator.
We're not here for 3-star Michelin-rated cuisine, we're here for beer and sports. Â Great thing about this place is that you get all of it quickly and with a smile.
Went here on a Monday night for a quick bite. Â It will be my last Hooters experience. Â Decided upon the Teriyaki wings and sat at the bar. Â Sat there and watch waitresses and cook drop F- bombs during their usual conversation. Â Watched as my wings were way overcooked in the Fryer. Â Finally brought my order and it was a burnt mess covered in sauce. Â I took a couple of bites and left it on the table. Â Drank my beer and walked out. Â There is nothing on this menu that can't be made in an oil fryer, fried on a grill or steamed in a pot. Â Total Garbage!
Review Source:Just plain awful. I've been a few times, and the wings are just terrible and soggy. The service is horrendous, they just bring you your food and that's it. Done. You need to flag a waitress down to get your bill. For the love of god, DO NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER GO DURING ENDLESS WING NIGHT. I went with a group of 5 friends and we were there for FOUR HOURS, and by the time we left, the three people who had gotten "endless" wings were only on their third plates because they just took so flippin' long to bring them out new ones after they were ordered. We left hungry, pissed and poor since we paid for all-you-can-eat wings and got all-they-felt-like-bringing-over-between-chatting-Âwith-other-waitresses wings.
Review Source:I'll admit it...I like this place. I'm a fan of the clam chowder, buffalo strips and curly fries. The girls have always been super nice to me and service has always been quick.
The regular wings are just okay though..nothing special. Generally a little dry actually.
I still say the strip and clam chowder rock.
People talk about the wings here like they are God's gift to cuisine. In reality, they're just wings.
I mean, I just don't get the appeal of this place. Oh, wait a second. Yes I do.
But seriously, I like looking at a nice rack as much as the next guy, but there's plenty of places I can go to do that other than Hooters. The food sucks, the beer selection sucks, and the atmosphere is about as enticing as a buck-toothed vagina.
