Hooters

My first Hooters visit.  I don't know what I was expecting, but I guess this place delivered pretty much what I had assumed a Hooters to be.  I came only because Nikki C. tipped me off to their their e-club coupon for a free dozen fried shrimp.  The shrimp were good, the beer was pretty cheap, and the Cajun sauce (which was really more of a seasoning, not so much a "sauce") was just enough heat.  

The kitchen is open and you can see everything the cooks are doing.  This is a cool concept in some cases, but when all there is to see is wings dropped into a fryer, tossed in a bowl w sauce, and dumped into a paper lined tray....I dunno.  Not really fascinating stuff going on there.  

I was really surprised at the number of children and families here.  To each their own, I suppose...but really?

I would like to not stereotype the Hooters girls as immature ditzes, but that was kind of the case.  The bartender serving us would NOT shut up even after we made it clear we were in no mood for small talk.  We heard all about her friend's volleyball court and how she played for a million hours and they all got so drunk but it was SO MUCH FUN.  Then another waitress joined her for "*giggles* just one of our dance parties we always have here at work!" behind the bar.  Irritating.  Before we left, 2 others had challenged each other to a hula hoop competition in the middle of the dining area, blocking many people from being able to walk through.  

I don't want to see little girls and their boobs playing games, I just want a cold beer and some fried eats and to be on my way.  Considering there are many other places I can get these things, I think I will steer clear of Hooters and it's shenanigans.  

Unless of course, they have another free coupon.  :)

I've been here a few times and everytime it has been extremely hot. Customer service was shaky. If you are dying for Hooters I'd suggest going to the Novi or Troy location.

Good burgers. Sauce is sometimes pretty hot if you don't mind that on your wings or shrimp. Waitresses really friendly, but will card you even if you have grey hair. (Must be corporate policy). Fairly clean, sometimes floors are sticky - I hate that. Bathroom is average for a "dive bar". I only go for lunch. Not my first choice but I'll take it when with a group.
