On vacation I ventured into my first ever Hooters and it was pretty awesome. I expected it to be sleazy and women chesticles will be all in my face, but I was seriously wrong. The ladies were very pretty, covered up enough and really sweet. The service was very pleasant and I must say this was probably the best smelling staff I ever encountered! lol I wanted the perfumes of all the ladies. I also thought it was pretty cool to see as a hostess a pregnant hooters girl. She was of course more covered, but it was still just very interesting to see that discrimination in this field is not exactly what you think.
Food... Well I went with the mild wings because I just don't like spicy foods (Yes yes I'm from New Orleans and that sounds crazy). They were delicious and huge and it made me want to eat all the wings in the world they were fresh and just very tasty treats. I also had friend onion ring strings of sorts that were good but I think I enjoyed the sauce that accompanies them the most.
Location... It's in a great location right on the beach. You can sit right outside on the back and just enjoy the water and views. It was truly a relaxing experience and now I want to enjoy all my wings outdoors. Definitely check this location out it was definitely worth the trip and glad this was my first Hooters experience.
Not at all like the Hooter's at home. Â This place really is a pass. Â The food was marginal to poor at best. Â The server was more interested in another table with one of her apparent regulars. Â
We sat outside on the deck to enjoy the weather and view which was great until a guy that was visibly drunk joined his friends and every other word was f*&k. Â So if you think all Hooter's are a safe bet. Â Think again, this place sucks.
I got what I needed from my visit to Hooters; Namely good food, prompt service and decent eye candy. Â
My problem is with the management of the place. When I got in at around 5pm on December 26, 2012, one half of the bar was occupied by waitresses who were presumably at the end of their shift.
The bar is for customers not for waitresses. One or two of them were dropping the F-Bomb with abandon and just being overly loud and obnoxious.
About 30 mins in to my visit some male acquaintances of the girls showed up and sat with them. Hopefully they paid for their drinks. Â
If I was the manager on duty, I would have #1 kicked them out of the bar and #2 fired little miss/es F-Bomb. If there was a manager on duty then he needs to be fired for allowing the staff to take over from the customers.
No good bar allows this crap to happen. Â
Anyway, Chelsea behind the bar was helpful and attentive - she can keep her job :)
Over the Top, both in service and quality of food. These people have got their act together, so far best food since we came to town. Paid twice as much for lunch at another establishment and left hungry. It was a little noisy and stools not a long term choice for dinner, but dude this is Pensacola Beach and can't get this in Indiana. Highly Recommend and a return trip before leaving town.
Review Source:Good thing on Sunday is that it's next to bamboo willies with a pavilion and a band.its spring break and packed.. Should have known. But have a bar stool, newspaper, tv's with March Madness.
Will I return: Its Hooters .. Of course!!!

Update:
Went in Sunday for an afternoon of wings, read the paper and chill. Hard to believe that i could walk right in and sit at the bar. Too easy. Had a beer within a minute and an order of fried pickles and wings with Three Mile Island sauce.
Sometimes it can be hit or miss at the bar depending on their mood. But since I wasnt trying to hit on them like the other drunk guys I got better service.
When in doubt - eat at the bar, you get served faster.
Will I return: Its Hooters, of course!!
First off I try to avoid Hooters (the restaurant) when possible but I have eaten at a number of them across the US since they always seem to be convenient to my hotel. Â Historically, I've found the service to be inconsistent, food pricey for the quality and portions, and over hyped, but since they're EVERYWHERE they have to be doing something right.
Anyway, the other night I found myself craving wings while running a errand on Pensacola Beach and since my joint of choice for wings, Sidelines, was packed, I decided to give Hooters a go. Â There were several open seats at the bar and only a couple of tables taken so I sat at the bar and was promptly served with a beer and menu. The bartender did a good job of balancing attention between a very loud group of middle age drunken locals and the more sedate crowd who wanted to get fed. Â I ordered 10 naked hot wings, all drums for a buck extra, with dressings and carrots for another buck. Â This is a pet peeve of mine about Hooters but whatever, wings took about 30 minutes which was no big deal since I was into my second beer with nowhere to go. Â The wings/drums were served steaming hot and were on the small side and could have been drained more thoroughly. The sauce was more mild than hot. Given past experiences this is about as good as I expected. Â So, 1 hour, 3 beers, and $22 before tip later my craving had been satiated, somewhat. OK in a pinch, but I don't see becoming a regular or ever bumping up to more stars.
Garbage served at a snails pace by cooks and wait staff that don't care at all. Â No matter what you order the plate is an assortment of orange and tan. Â If they at least let you order steamed broccoli as a side you could have some color and fiber. Â Here's the kicker, for a high profile, waterfront, tourist trap that is supposed to be all about breasts and booties, this place seems to employ the "c" team with an occasional appearance by the "b" team. Â Hardly worth putting up with a 2 hour lunch and the funk.
Review Source:Service friendly.  Great views over the bay.  Fried pickles were good.  The rest of our meal wasn't so good.  Fried catfish over cooked.  Cajun wings - tasteless.  Grilled chicken sandwich well cooked but totally uninspiring.  Happy hour is 3 - 6 when they have two for one beers and  well drinks (i think, as our waitress wasn't very sure herself).  vodka cranberry weak!  We will not be eating in Hooters again, it is just too boring.
Review Source:see my review on the bayou store....it is the same thing! but in addition to that, this is the place where snobbish, alcoholic, elitist, and self-important folks of the island like to congregate for the football games. it is also the place where the local male-hating lesbians like to openly hangout with their girlfriends that work here! enjoy it now folks because it will soon end up like the red carpet soon!
