We go here fort he wings right? Â Well....that's what I go for, and they are delicious! Â Nothing incredibly spectacular to report from my experience from this Hooters. Â I ordered 10 wings and they were great. Â The prices are reasonable and I like the location of this. Â It's in the fod court in the Tyrone mall. Â
A good experience with delicious chicken wings....and NOTHING ELSE! :)
I just dont understand why a restaurant would want to employ wait staff that doesn't seem like they even want to work there. It's a Friday night the place isn't even busy and we had the worst service ever. Hooters would make a lot more money when you don't have to ask the hostess to get your waitress because she wont stop by just so you can give them more money and order another pitcher of beer or order more food. We watched  the waitress take orders from tables around without ever stopping by to see if you need anything even after eye contact and waving. We added several items and would have eaten/drank even more if the waitress would have come to our table. Instead she talked to some guy sitting at a table alone (who didn't even order anything) or chatted with other wait staff. When she did come it was zero personality, not even a Thank you at the end. Even worse, the manager literally sat two tables way chatting with someone half the time we were there, even bringing them their food (I have pictures). She never managed anyone, I never saw her talk to any staff or check any tables except her friends she sat with while we were there. This is the manager and she doesn't care what is or isn't going on and this is the reason service is bad and people don't come here on a Friday for dinner.  I usually go to the Original location in Clearwater and do so pretty frequently.  We used to go to the original Tyrone location for years before it moved here.
I say that the newer Tyrone location has some serious staffing and management issues that I am sure can be attributed to slow business on a night like Friday, low sales and unhappy customers. Â This is NOT the type of service expected from Hooters and I should have listened to the people I know who warned me this location has bad service instead of trusting reviews from web sites. Â
I really miss the REAL Hooters across the road before it became such a corporate letdown like it is now. Â A big letdown andbad experience to say the least. Â We didn't enjoy our dinner waiting for drinks and food all night. Â
I give 2 stars just because when we got it, the food was okay.
