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).
Review Source:I love wings! If there were a food I could eat all the time, and never get sick of, it's a good ol' batch of fried chicken wings, so when I have a craving, Hooter's usually hits the spot!
Hooters is to be expected, pretty girls in tight tops, and short shorts, so if this isn't the kind of environment for you, better look elsewhere. It definitely doesn't bother me, so I'm here every chance I have a craving for wings. On top of wings, they also offer salads, burgers and sandwiches, great appetizers, and your typical bar food. TVs are always playing some sort of major game or fight, so prepared to be entertained. Depending on the days you go, there are different specials (ALL YOU CAN EAT ON WEDNESDAYS!!) and usually the wait isn't too too long.
When I come I always have to have their fries. Always good and crispy. My friend loves their tots that come loaded with cheese, sour cream, bacon, and chives! The wings come in a variety of sizes, so depending on your party, you can order as little or as many as you want. They come naked or breaded, and they have a huge amount of sauce choices for you to choose from. As exciting as the choices may seem, I always keep it old school and stick w/ the regular buffalo sauce (medium). If you haven't tried this, what I normally do is order the wings breaded, but sauce on the side! That way the wings are still nice and crispy and you can put as much sauce/ranch on it as you like!
They used to carry carrots/celery, but now only celery *womp womp*, so if you're a big carrots lover, you might be mad. Service is always okay, nothing spectacular, but the girls will try to stay attentive as possible.
GOOD PLACE. I'll always return :)
I don't normally go to here basically because the food isn't really that good. I decided to try it out again with a friend after I saw a coupon in the Sac News & Review. It offers a "Free entree with a purchase of an equal or greater value". In the same ad it advertises 6 different  "Lunch Escape" deals. I showed it to the waitress before we ordered and told her that was what I wanted to do. She showed me the 6 items. We ordered from the 6. When the bill came it didn't show one of the entrees comped.
When I asked why one of the entrees was not comped I was told that the "Lunch Escape" deals were discounted and therefore can't be used with the Free Entree offer. Nowhere in the ad does it say or suggest that the meals were at a discount. A manager came over and said that she comped 1 meal at the discount price but charged me more for the other item. I told her I still was not happy. She said that was the only way her computer would allow the discount. I obviously left unhappy enough to write this review.
At the end of the day we left the same amount of money for the bill and tip as if we did get the other entree for free. We just basically took the difference out of the waitress' tip.
I see no reason to go back there. There are far too many other places that offer better food for a reasonable amount of money.
Run by absolute idiots. I know they are not working here because of their brains however the staff are beyond stupid. Three different groups of people, parties of 4-6, sat here for over a half hour waiting to be seated Saturday night. Â We could clearly see 7 open tables. Â Their response was that they did not have enough servers. Â There were at least 10 "waitresses" wandering around. If the management is not smart enough to staff enough servers to wait on a full house on a Saturday night then they should not be in the food business. Â I know at least two of the groups left without being seated.
Review Source:If you are gonna brag about your wings...make and sell good ones...if I want to look at boobs I go to a strip club. Â The only reason, and I re iterate, the ONLY reason I came here because a friend of mine had just re enlisted in the Army and had asked we go there for lunch..OK, I can do that..I ordered a big Coors Light cause they did not have MGD..it was flat, no head...I wasn't going to eat, but to be polite, I ordered the 10 piece naked wings..they frigging wings looked like they came off of a pigeon they were so small..and barely luke warm..so at the end of the day, pitiful no meat wings, and limp fried pickles and two beers (oh and doesn't Hefiwizen (spelling) come with an orange and not a lemon)..never be back. (0h, $40 with tip)
Review Source:We went on 50 cent wing night as a final dinner with out old roommate before he left to move to Vegas.
The hostess seated us in the back and then we were virtually forgotten. Â I have noticed a trend with Hooters in the recent years. Â The Hooter girls just arent as friendly as they were in yesteryear. Â Our waitress talked us into getting the 50 cent wings and a pitcher of beer rather than the 22 dollar deal with wings and a pitcher. Â It turned out that we ended up paying much more than we should have. Â She probably thought that she was helping us save money, but as a Hooter girl, her math skills were below par. Â I shouldnt say that...the girl in Big Daddy worked at Hooters and became an attorney. Â
Our drinks went unfilled, we wanted to order another pitcher, and when we had enough and just wanted to leave, they held us captive and didnt give us our check. Â My boyfriend was so pissed, he handed me the credit card and stormed out.
Wont be back to this location. Â Ever.
The wings here leave much to be desired. They can be on the greasy side plus the seasoning is a little overdone. Also, the wings they choose tend to be rather.....oh who am I kidding, I come here to see boobies!! (Well, I used to before I got married. :P)
I hope my wife doesn't read this. I love you, babe!
Everybody's happy at Hooters as the saying goes. Well, no, everybody is not happy at Hooters. If you're here to drink, watch football, and gaze at the, well, scenery, then this may be the place to go. The wings here are OK, but everything else is pretty pedestrian, and the service, though easy on the eye, is hit and miss. I still laugh at their 'owl' mascot with the big "eyes". I don't laugh when I realize my meal for two cost $35 dollars.
Review Source:I do not like this place! I had a party of seven and they gave us a small booth when they obviously had a bigger table. And on top of that. They ended up giving that table to a party of four. This place also gave me chicken that wasn't fully cooked. This is my worst hooters experience ever!!!!
Review Source:I went with the family. Why my mom and dad wanted to go there is a mystery only Sherlock can solve.
We sat there and waited and waited. After about 15 minutes, my brother went looking for the manager. He promised to send someone over. 5 minutes passed, a girl came to take our drink order, and she added she was not our server. So we waited.
Finally out server came over. We recognized her as the one sitting for the last 20 minutes at the table behind us flirting with two fugly dudes. She apologized and took our order, then promptly sat down with the fugly dudes.
It was 10 minutes and our drinks still hadn't come. So we finally gave up and left.
My brother wrote an angry letter to the manager who apologized and offered us a free meal. I don't know if we'll ever use it; it was that bad.
I work nearby, so some of us guys from work visit evey now and then. Â The food is not that great, the girls not so hot and the service is awful. Â Once before we went there and sat fot a looong time, never got served so we left. Â
Went a couple of times since, and always left disappointed. Â Earlier this week, we went there early-ish (trying to beat the lunch rush). Sat down, no service for 20 minutes... girls were too busy prancing around and paying attention to the larger tables (more people = more tips?).
We left and went elsewhere.  Overpriced, mediocre food and bad service.  We won't be going  back...
Went there tonight to watch the Raiders and Broncos...wanting the Raiders to lose, which they didn't. Being a Jets fan, I hate the Raiders. I sure hope my review isn't skewed due to the Raiders winning!
Actually my review may be due to the pretty lady sitting at the table next to me. She kept flirting with me all night long, which is fine, but there was a man at the table next to her the whole time. They barely talked, she with her back to him, and both of them on the phone texting all night long. I wasn't quite sure what to do...so I didn't do anything. They were definitely together there, but to what extent, I'm not sure. Oh well...my loss I guess.
Another good note...our server Neita was very good. Ok...standard rules apply here - to work at Hooters, you must be pretty. So she passed there. But she was actually a very good server. She was very attentive to our table. She was extremely polite, without being sickeningly polite trying to get tips. She didn't keep bothering us all night, just showing up when she could tell we were ready for refills or something. I appreciate that so much. She got a good tip, very well deserved.
Other than that, this Hooters didn't fare any differently than any other one that I've been to. It's kinda small, but seems to be the right size for the area that it's in. The bathroom was a bit disgusting, though. Seems as though someone couldn't really hold their beer very well, and left it all over the toilet. I went in there twice, and it was there both times. Don't tell me that they didn't know it was there. I work in restaurants. They know it's there...word gets around. Man up, do your job, and get the bathrooms clean...sheesh!
I like the Monday burger special...a half pound burger and fries for $5.99 ~ not a bad deal...especially for MNF games. I'll be coming back here...probably not as often as going to Buffalo Wild Wings...but this is close, so sometimes it'll be just convenient enough.
Julie Andrews...you rock as a server!!!
How could any red-blooded American guy NOT just LOVE having big titted women hauling in plate after plate of hot wings?
My guess is that any of the sub-standard reviews came from women who are a tad shy in the... Â Well, lets just say that those women are easy to look DIRECTLY in the face.
This rating leaves me feeling like somewhat of a manky jerk. Â I feel like I should have known better than to expect more than average but at the same time... why can't I? Â
The wings at Hooters aren't bad, but they aren't that good either. Â We ordered the Spicy Garlic and Medium. Â The medium should have been called Lamesauce: the wings were slathered in grease basically that tasted more mild than mild itself. Â BUH. Â (I feel a bit responsible because I know that most people's idea of spicy is not even close to my own.) Â
The Spicy Garlic were actually pretty good but those were what I'd call medium. Â Eh, we were hungry and honestly we didn't expect this place to piss excellence or anything- Hello, it's Hooters. Â Greasy wangs in the mouthhole you go.
I was a little excited try fried pickles for the first time. Â They came to our table and looked good enough but I'm guessing the oil they were fried in wasn't hot enough. Â They were limp and soggy within 30 seconds. Â (insert sadface here.) Â Still though, they weren't horrrrrrrible. Â We ended up ditching the sauce they served them with and using the blue cheese we paid extra for.
All in all the experience wasn't the worst I've had, but I know I can get better wings elsewhere (like Wingstop) without getting quite as wallet-raped. Â Sports and big boobies don't figure into my review because I can get both of those at home for free.
The two stars are mostly for the service we got: our server was very friendly and prompt. Â They also had tasty cold beers on tap. Â For a $50 tab though I really can't click that 3rd star. Â Lo siento!
Id never been to a hooters before and on the way back from Tahoe we decided to stop by one in Rancho Cordova. Since, Hooters is such a big brand name I was really expecting a lot more from the experience but it didn't live up to my expectations.
There was no host so we seated ourselves. Once seated, they were not sure who was going to serve us which got me confused for a bit. -1 for that .however, once we were assigned to a server, the service was pretty good. From a guys perspective, women serving you food in short shorts and low shirt's are good any day of the week.
Their happy hour starts at 8pm (weird!) we got a pitcher of Coors light and some food. We ordered clam chowder soup, some daytona wings, onion rings and teriyaki wings. Apart from being super greasy and heavy food, the taste was pretty food. The beer had pieces of ice in it which was surprising.
I would try hooters at another location again only if i had too or if i want hot girls serving me i guess lol.
Hit up the "homebase" again today for lunch for their unlimited wings for $11.99 wit the homie PRB and Swish! I hit up some boneless 911 and lemon pepper wings wit a side of blue cheese and a pepsi to wash it down. Hooters are known for their wings among other things. The service was chill and we had a pretty koo waitress until they had a shift change and we got a girl that was lookin pretty hurt. But I gotta say even tho she was a little hurt she was prompt and delivered good and fast service.
Review Source:Just went here for drinks & to watch the game. Blechhh.
1- The atmosphere made me extremely uncomfortable
2- The food - wings & fries - was bland and cold
3 - The fellow patrons are okay with the blatant prejudice of this place.
I think it's weird Sambo's is out of biz, the Redskins are declared impolite, yet hooters is still in existence. I like to go here and fart, oh sorry, did that offend you?
Definitely one of my favorite places to stop on the way back from South Lake Tahoe. (bachelor party or ski trip...although it's mandatory for a bachelor party).
It's right off the freeway (50) and there's a gas station. Â Why sit in traffic when you hit 80 a few miles up when you could be watching football and knocking back wings.
The service can be a little slow at the bar for Sunday football, but you order pitchers anyway and honestly, with so many games, what's the rush?
The wings are as expected (I don't really order anything else of the menu).
Thank you Danni for taking such good care of us.
Fun fact for guys: lots of the girls who work here come here on weekends when they are off-duty. just fyi.
This Hooters isn't that great.
The service is sub-par, and the wings are the same.
I've had  a lot better service at other locations with better tasting food.
I've only been here once and don't really plan on coming back, especially since there's a wingstop down the street with better tasting food.
This specific location has got a stimulating set up for watching sports, especially at the bar. Â My brother and I have enjoyed anywhere from 2 to 4 hours of watching college and pro football over beer and chicken wings. Â
Though I've visited this location multiple times, I wouldn't necessary consider myself a regular (yet), since my visits have been sporadic and far in-between, however, the service experienced have been to my satisfaction. Â The staff - bartender, waitresses and manager on duty - Â have all been pretty attentive and courteous. Â Patrons who enter are greeted enthusiastically and then a farewell upon exiting. Â The hooter girls all smile and some innocently flirt with the customers, in all acknowledging the presence of their customers.
I've had anywhere from the buffalo chicken sandwich to salad, but usually share an order of the chicken wings (naked, for figure friendly sake) with the 911 sauce, which is supposedly the highest level of heat, but tolerably tasty according to my non very discriminate palate. Â A light beer usually accompanies the wings to wash the flavor down nicely. Â
However, the menu items is not the purpose of a Hooters visit, though they're decent enough. Â It's football, folks! Â Share the wings, grab a beer, and take your football buddy to watch a great game at Hooters 'cuz it's fun!
The staff was ok but the wings were way over cooked and did not have enough sauce. When I told them that and asked for more sauce we were charged extra for it.  No wonder this hooters gets such bad reviews.  The  local Wing Stop is much better.
ps. It doesn't help either now that they charge a cover for UFC fights.
I like this Hooters because it is conveniently off the freeway and has a full bar. Happy hour was cool until they recently took away the happy hour food so now just the regular happy hour special drinks. I thought happy hour was about getting food and drinks for a good deal. It's hard enough paying regular price for the mediocre food here. But it still has the full bar so I'm sure enough well drinks during happy hour will persuade me to buy some wings. Â Service here has always been really good from my experiences.
Review Source:I met an old high school buddy and we went there to catch up with each other. Â The restaurant is in very good condition, I understand it is relatively new.
The service was efficient, the waitress we had was friendly and efficient. Â Unfortunately, she had to leave work early because of an ankle injury she suffered at home the day before.
The food was "OK". Â Let me explain. Â The deep-fried pickles were good, I had them before in Tennessee, so I had a pretty good idea of how they are supposed to taste, and there were tasty. Â We tried two of the flavored wings, versus the regular buffalo wings. Â They were unexceptional, so unexceptional that I am trying to remember the flavors and can't do it.
First let me start off by saying that I ate here with my husband and 1 yr old. Â We were headed out to Carson City from San Jose... it was getting late... everyone was hungry and damn tired of sitting in the car. Â You can't seem to see any restaurants from the highway as you go thru Sacramento and this was one of the first to pop into view. Â Screw it, lets just go to Hooters...
I am torn between 2 stars and 3. Â I would probably give a 3 for service as our waitress was nice and efficient, but the food was... Â I think Yelp sums it up pretty well with "Meh. I've experienced better." Â My husband and I both got burgers and we got grilled cheese for the tot. Â She wouldn't touch it, which isn't surprising since she's so fickle, but I had a bite and would have to give it a solid "Meh" too - how do you mess up grilled cheese?? Â It had a funny taste to it... Â The burgers were pretty bland and while far from horrible, I think I would have been happier (or maybe just *less* disappointed) with a QPC from McDonalds. Â My husband's fries were okay. Â I honestly can't even remember what I got on the side of my burger, so it obviously wasn't good or bad enough to be memorable. Â We ordered fried pickles and now THAT... that was something I liked quite a bit. Â My husband thought they were too salty, I just thought that was the pickly pickleness shining through. Â So with the exception of the pickles, food rates 2 stars. Â But then it IS a restaurant called Hooters... Â I somehow don't think that they're known first and foremost for their quality of food. Â ;)
Oh, and I have to add this had to be the single loudest restaurant I ever ate at. Â But again, I wouldn't expect much else at a place called Hooters. Â If I was single, male and between 18 and 28, I might have looooooooved this place. Â Hooters. Â But if you're a woman taken here on a date-going-sour, they DO have a bad-date escape route in the form of a window in the handicapped stall in the bathroom!
Bottom line: you can see it from the highway, service is friendly, burgers are so-so.
I haven't had Hooters since I lived in Texas a few years back. Since  I was in the area for a work thing, I decided to give it a go for dinner. It was a 2 minute drive from the hotel I was staying at, and it was between this and Jack n the Box.
I love me some wangs! And this Hooters did okay. I walked in to a packed restaurant (Cowboys were playing Eagles...yay Cowboys!) to order my dinner to go. The hostess was nice enough to take my order quickly. I notice that either the menu has changed since I last visited Hooters in Texas, or maybe it's just different for California. I had a 15 minute wait for my dinner, so I hung out in the front and watched the different waitresses do their thing. Most were sweet, some had no smile or personality. Then there was the fake-boobed, extreme highlighted, long-haired chick who kept flinging her hair around, trying to flirt with the old men, and kept an eye open to see who was watching her. This is her career, and she takes it seriously! You go girl!
My food was still hot and fresh when I walked into my hotel room and settled in to eat. The Bentley that I usually ordered in the past tasted the same as their 911 hot. The spicy garlic was really good. But the names of these sauces are highly deceiving. They are as far from hot as you'll get. The 911 hot is more like a mild/regular hot sauce. I guess it's designed to make the man feel like a real man, you know, the guy who can't stomach anything spicy, but is like, "yeah, I'll take some of those 911 hot wings, you keep the mild ones for yourself, doll!"
Overall, Hooters is fake hot. The wings are fake hot as are the girls. You peel away those shorts and the suck-it-all-in tights, you've got average waitresses serving average wings. But, I appreciated the nice service and the fresh food. Hooterific!
