The previous reviews almost scared me off, but this place was within walking distance of my hotel. I was in search of a cold beer. As soon as I walked in I could tell that things had changed since those reviews because the wait staff is beautiful (and I have been called picky).
The service was FAST & friendly! Â I had 3 separate waitresses ask if I needed anything. The place was fairly busy & these ladies were MOVING! The wings were the usual Hooter's wings (which I like) not greasy as people said that they had been.
They must be under new management, Â or something. Â The staff seemed happy & eager to help.
Alright, so it took me long enough to finally come around to giving Hooters a try; and in fact, it took my father asking me to take him on Father's Day to really do the trick, but. . . I'm SO glad I did!
The Place: Obviously, the place has a casual, sports-bar feel to it. The servers are in skintight, bright orange and white apparel. There's always a game or an event on the screen and a pretty damn good selection of beer on tap-- am I allowed to say damn? Ha, anyway. . .
The Service: When I took my Pops to Hooters on Father's Day, we got right in to a high-top in the bar area; which was great, because as you can expect, it was pretty packed. Our server was there in a flash, drawing her name with a heart around it on a napkin to place on the table should we want to know it, without eyeing her bosom (which is a touch I thought was pretty classy.) She was VERY pleasant, and had a great sense of humor. It was my first time there, and yes, I was a little nervous. After the first interaction with our server, I was golden for the rest of the stay. Toward the end of our meal, my Pops (yes, with a bit of a head change) asked if he could snake a couple of their re-usable cups for his 50th Birthday Party two weeks from then. She brought him two huge stacks of them and sang Happy Birthday. It was great.
The second time I went there was last night. It was an impromptu visit that my husband and I made. This was when we met Sara. Incredibly funny, attentative, preemtive and thoughtful. What do I mean by thoughtful? Well, after our two pitchers of beer, we thought we should stay a while and play cards. She saw us playing, and before she left, she brought us a Hooters Label deck of cards. On the house, of course. She just told us to enjoy and headed out. Very cool.
The Food: This is where I feel a bit cliche. I can't speak for the wings or the crab legs, but their Western BBQ Burger with the onion rings inside is AMAZING. I got it both times. The second time we ended up going was BECAUSE of the burger. I had to have it again. There salad is actually pretty good, too. Mixed greens instead of your standard iceberg lettuce and what tastes like a homemade ranch. YUMMMMM. I could go again right now.
Both times I went, I had terrific experiences. The food was delicious and the brew cold! I actually look FORWARD to going back to Hooters, and I NEVER thought I'd say that. Kudos, Hooters. I'm a fan.
This is my Hooters! Its right by my work place so its a great stop for lunch. Never a long wait and the food is consistent. Its always good. The girls are nice and learn my usual meal. I recommend going if you are in the area. I love their wings and their Strip Cheese Sandwich (add bacon).
