This is the best Hooters I've ever been to - period.
Decent food, very good service, and great drink/beer selection, but that's all fairly standard for a Hooters.
The service here was fantastic, and the views of the river are quite nice as well. Â Huge patio, huge indoor seating area, all around a good experience.
As a woman, am I allowed to admit I love this place????? Or am I setting feminism back 50 years by admitting to crossing their threshold?
I am a sucker for a patio and a view and this location of Hooters has both. Â Nothing better than spending a September evening sitting under an umbrella, beverage in hand, watching the boats float by.
The food... I love the food! Â Not a wing girl, but I love their quesadillas (some of the best I have tried) and curly fries with cheese and ranch. Â If I want to pound a couple thousand calories, this is one of my first options.
Boys- This wouldn't be the location I would choose for my bachelor party... Too many times I have gone here and been served by someone missing multiple teeth. Â I would try a different location if you are more interested in who is serving you than what is being served. Â They have all been very nice girls and have been excellent waitresses, I'm just sayin.....
Also, if you are looking for a full night of partying after dinner, there are a ton of options in the area (Newport on the Levee) and even share a barge with the Beer Sellar.
Hooters. They say you don't go there just for the food, and I have to agree. Beautiful women, great food, great view of downtown, great location, great times...you just can't beat that. During the game, or after Reds and Bengals games, this place is packed, often with a wait of an hour or more.
Their fried pickles are a must, as well as the wings with Three Mile Island sauce, and Curley Fries with cheese. Amazing. I need to get back down there soon, it's been awhile!
Ok it's a Hooters. I have to say I've never been a huge fan of their food, but that's not why people go there right? You know why everyone goes there.. it's that fantastic view of the Ohio river. DUH. :)
Seriously though this Hooter's is my favorite by far. I've been to to others and the servers don't even address me since I'm a female, And some of those time I was the one paying the bill. Just because it's the spot for my boyfriend doesn't always mean he's the one who took us out. Flirting with him in front of me and pretending I don't exist is not the best way for me add to your tip at the end of the meal. Just sayin. Flirting with him slightly while chatting with me.. that's acceptable... and even funny.
Every time we have ever gone to this location the servers and the rest of the staff are fantastic. The atmosphere here is a blast, especially in the summer. It's not my first choice of places to hang out, but in my mind it's like the Chuck E. Cheese for adult men, so I'll go if it'll make my honey smile. However, he's going to be paid back when I drag him to Charming Charlie's so I can look at accessories for hours.. There is a method to this madness. :)
Only giving a 2 star, it would have been 1 star, if it wasn't for location and the Hooter girls. So here is my review about the food. The wings, if you can call them wings, I hate that little tail on wings, it reminds me of eating the chicken raw. Anyway,the wings taste like going to a cheap Chinese buffet and they use the same oil for the last 2 months....awlfulllll. The wings were so bad, I was afraid to order the main entree. So I just drank and got drunk.
Overall, this place is only good for drinking and getting drunk, if you get my point, if you get drift.
It's Hooters, so really you are required to automatically lower your expectations when you decide to go here. Â However, I have to say that the Newport location is better than others. Â It's floating on the river, so that's automatic points. Â It also has great outdoor seating right by the water with views of downtown.
In the winter, it's any other Hooters, but in the summer the big patio is basically 3 bars in 1, combining the outdoor section of Beer Sellar along with J.B. Fins. Â They also have a ferry that takes you to Reds games and back.
The only food at Hooters that I would really rave about are their fried pickles. Â They're just better than they are anywhere else. Â The wings aren't bad, but they're not worth the "world famous" title that Hooters tries to give them. Â
Service here is hit or miss. Â There are times I've had amazing servers who are attentive and friendly. Â Other times I've been mostly ignored and had to go to the bar to get my own drinks. Â Overall I haven't been let down and have noticed how hard the girls work there, even despite being heckled at most tables.
Even though I wouldn't recommend the "cuisine" here, I know I'll keep going back, mostly because it's close to my house and it's a good place to enjoy a casual summer afternoon in the sun with a pitcher.
Awful. Â We stopped here after a Reds game when we took the boat back across the river. Â The service was alrightm abd I know you go to Hooters for something other than the food, but the food should be edible. Â The wings tasted like they left them in cold grease and we couldn't even finish our meal. Â We ended up going back to the hotel and ordering LaRozzas delivery. Â I won't be stopping by Hooters again after a game. Â I guess we will try the Beer Seller next time.
Review Source:Sometimes you just crave wings and a cold one. Â And at those times, I thank God for creating Hooters on the 6th day. Â
Then I realize that Hooters is just a TGIFridays knockoff with women wearing skimpy outfits who were not hot enough to work at the local bar and or strip club.
My beer was cold and my Caesar salad was fresh enough. Could have been a hell of a lot worse (Applebees).
2 stars.
