I LOVE Hooters! I have been to several Hooters and I love the girls in RI. They are real girls, friendly and on the ball! You do get the few that need to move on but the other girls make up for the few over confident ones. George is my favorite cook!!!!!! I can't say enough, my fried pickles, wings and burger are always PERFECT! By the way I was a Hooters girl in Florida, it is a family friendly place that is all about the All American Girl and Good food! I will say it was the most fun job I have ever had! I am now 25 years older and still Love Hooters!!!!!
Review Source:Not only are there many better places in the state/area to eat/drink this has to be one of the worst Hooters in the country.
When I walked in there were 4 girls loafing around the front. Â 2 didn't look up, 2 did. Â I said hello expecting to at least be greeted. Â One looked me in the eye but neither said anything. Â Welcome to Warwick.
I sat at the bar to have a few beers before picking someone up from the airport. Â The single bartender was pretty busy and from the looks of it several people either work 3rd shift and had been there for hours or just got off work early to get a few in before going home. Â She was slammed so the 10 minutes I waited to be asked what I would like didn't quite bother me. Â The bartender was nice and tried to engage in some small talk but the drunk douche next to me wouldn't stop pestering her. Â She tolerated him the best she could and got me my beer quickly.
The bar was full of drunks and most of them were obnoxious. Â There were a few tables with people but the place wasn't too busy for 530 on a Friday. Â
On a trip or two to the restroom I passed by a waitress or two. Â I think maybe one smiled and made eye contact...the others were trying not to remember where they were and just in a zone. Â One waitress was hustling from a table to refill some drinks and turned into the walking lane and we almost bumped into one another....no biggie. Â I said 'excuse me' and she basically treated me like I was in her way.
I used to like this place for a quick/cheap beer that is close to the airport. Â Now I will be finding a new dive.
We like Hooter's in general, but couldn't believe our experience yesterday at the one in Warwick RI. Â One by one the beer taps were running out, and the bar tender couldn't get the manager to change them because he was too busy flirting with the girls, laughing and joking. Â Later, we tried to ask him to change the channel on one of the TV's. Â It appeared to be a bother, but he said he would. Â He never did, and we didn't ask again. Â Someone else told him that the Internet wasn't working, but he didn't seem to be concerned about that either. Â A server said he was a visiting manager from another store.
Should also mention that the place is very rundown and dirty. Â Definitely not your typical Hooter's. Â Although the beer was cold and the service was good, we decided not to eat there.
We went there a few months ago. First off horrible service... my sister and I met a bunch of her friends here. Â It was very dark the light was broken and they told us 2-3 times they were going to come back to fix the light bulb but they never did. Â The worst part was we ordered little necks and we found a rock! Â Wtf... we weren't even being jerks about it when we asked the server if we can get whatever the piece of rock worth of little necks since they weigh it. The manager came over and laughed and made a comment, "where you get that outside." Â I'm like dumba$$ does it look like we're joking. Â He promised that he would fix our light didn't mention anything about the rock that was found in our order of clams and never came back nor did they fix our light or compensate on the clam never will I go back to this hooter again.. Just horrible horrible!!! I'm leaving one star because I believe it's the lowest I can leave otherwise personally I wouldn't leave any stars disappointment! Please see the pic I uploaded.
Review Source:My fiance has been craving wings for awhile now. What better way to satisfy that craving then by going to a place known for their wings? We went to Hooters one night and expected to have our socks blown off. Yeah, no.
We started off with the fried pickles appetizer, which was tasty. The boy ordered the hot wings that really just tasted like they were doused in butter sauce. They were so lacking that he had to order an extra side of hot sauce, which the waitress was almost hesitant to get for him. I ordered the chipotle honey wings which were OK, but so small that I wish I had ordered something else. In an effort to salvage the meal I ordered a slice of the key lime pie. The slice I got looked like it had been chilling for awhile because of the off color on top, and why did my last bite feel like gravel? Needless to say we both left disappointed.
The 2 stars are for the waitress, because she was sweet.
Came in on a Friday night with a group of 6 people. Â We all trickled in over time. Â Our server, Holly, came right over to take drink orders as members of the party arrived. Â Once everyone was there we ordered food. I personally had the 20 wings with medium sauce and fried pickles. Â Others had a burger, cheese fries, variously spiced wings, and we got someone elses mozzerella sticks accidently, but we werent charged. Â Our server told us to keep them, it was the kitchens mistake. Â Very cool! Â Server was kind of slow to refill drinks and we had to keep flagging her down. Â It wasn't super busy, so I dunno. Â Wings were good but VERY cheap on the sauce, and the fried pickels were just OK. Â Didn't blow my skirt up. Â I didn't like that they charged me 70 cents for a lousy cup of blue cheese that I didn't even use. Â And the fries that supposedly came with the burger someone ordered, they were extra. Â Apparently it says on the menu these items are extra, but no one noticed, or the fine print was very fine. Â When the checks came the server gave me a box for my leftovers but took my pickles before I knew it. Â They have several large TV's around the place, and the music is loud. Â You would be surprised how quiet it really is inbetween songs. Â Overall the food was good, service was OK, and the waitresses are easy on the eyes. Â I will be putting Hooters into the rotation.
Review Source:I really dont want to relive the memory of what my night was like at ALL YOU CAN EAT NIGHT but put it this way....14.95 for all you can eat and you get brought out 6 wings a piece and having to wait 20 minutes in between and then being told at 11:30 they were closing....worst experience ever. I usually go a few times a year but its been a lil over a year. This is not the same place anymore...I was happy when this place reopened....no longer. Â I will gladly go next store to ALLSTARS where the all you can eat wings are only $8. Â I did not get what I paid for and had I not been with friends...I would of walked out with out paying. Â they will not longer get anymore money from me or any of the people I went with last night.
Review Source:Ok, I tried to call the Warwick hooters, but couldn't find a phone number anywhere online. Â Then I found a phone number on this site, and it rang for 2 minutes and then hung up. Â Since I can't tell them directly, I'm using this site.
I ate there around 8:30 last night. Â I had the boneless wings, some kind of honey / Asian style. Â It was sweet and a little spicy. Â Tasted fine enough.
Then at 4:30 am I wake up and everything proceeds to leave my body.. from both ends.. quickly. Â At the beginning I mean, I stand up from the toilet, and then I have to sit right back down. Â This goes on consistently for about 3.5 hours during which time I probably walk to the bathroom 15-20 times. Â I haven't eaten anything in 24 hours now, and symptoms do persist, but they get better with each passing hour. Â I should be (cross my fingers) fine by tomorrow.
Just a heads up. Â
Other than that, the babes are sweet.
Is saying that I go to Hooters for the wings like saying I read Playboy for the articles? OK, fine. I do come for the wings, but they seem to taste better being served by a hot, young chick. Happy?
'Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined.' Nice to see a place that doesn't take itself too seriously. However I do take my wings seriously, so let's get to it.
While I generally prefer unbreaded wings, their's do work for me. I like the 'Daytona' which combines heat with a little sweet. If I'm looking for heat, the 'three mile island' are hot and tasty. But my new favorite is their 'Thai-honey-chili' sauce. It's friggen' addictive. Almost as addictive as the fried pickles!
Lots of TVs and lots of seats in every nook and cranny ensure a loud experience, and the less said about the restroom (men's anyway), the better.
Love those Hooters!
I have been here several times and I have been to others around the country. This is a fairly average Hooters and serves just what I expect them to serve. I have absolutely no complaints other than the outside condition could be improved. Aside from that, it is just fine for a place that serves wings, beer and burgers. I can honestly say that I think all of the various food items I have had are fine. This is not going to be a five star establishment and they done try to be.
If you are going here to have table cloth and silver, just keep walking. If you are going to drink beer, eat wings, watch TV, you are at the right place. As for the service, they are not the quickest, but they take your order, get you food hot, smile and chat. Oh, they do a good job of looking good as well.
That being said, if you are rating the place on what the parking lot looks like, I am pretty sure that there are not many places in RI that would fair too well.
It has been a long time since I had been here last and now I remember why. For a chain restaurant known for friendly staff, this is the second least friendly Hooters I have been in. The most unfriendly was in Boston and it closed. You can blame it on the area, but we have many places with fantastically friendly staff. Our waitress was putting on an attitude that was forced and kind of odd. She didn't pull it off very well. If you are a fan of Hooters, stay away from this one. If you like decent food and don't want to really engage with the staff, you could be okay here.
Review Source:Rough around the edges doesn't begin to describe the condition of the place. Â It looks just a step or two from falling down. And the service, oh my goodness, it would be hard to imagine a more disjointed bunch. Â
There's a pair of tables near the door, that the managers, clean up staff, Hooters groupies, and off-shift staff hang out at that really "classes up" that first impression. Â
But it does go uphill from here. Â At least half the time you'll get quick and courteous, professional service. Â Better than a number of finer joints I could name.
The beer is cheep, served well and cold, and they have (typically anyway) fresh Sam on draft by the pitcher or the glass.
I've tried a few food items, I would stay away from the boneless wings, very dry and chunky. Â Fries are often under done, and cold, the cheese sauce is Wiz, not my very favorite.
The wings however are quite good, naked wings being quite a bit better than the breaded kind. Sauce for me is perfect right between Hot and 3 Mile, but its not a mix they get right every time.
The buffalo shrimp can be good as well, and just as easily can be rugged, little eraser bits. Â
In this world there's two kinds of people...not all of 'em are gonna' like Hooters.
Before entering this fine establishment (joking) I read ALL the reviews.
I was coming toward Providence when I felt a sudden urge for wings. I was reminiscing the months I worked down in Florida and ate wings at Winghouse.
Hooters it was. I finally pull in to the parking lot and the place already looks horrible. Their windows are thermo pane. You don't clean between them, you can't reseal them. If the seal is broken, you need to replace the unit. Most of their windows look as if they have water condensation in them (pet peeve). Nonetheless I was determined to have some wings dammit.
For appetizer I chose the fried pickles. Which were PERFECT. I than ordered 10 pc wings with Daytona sauce all drums and curly fries. A friend of mine ordered a salad no tomato.
Apparently I threw everyone a curveball by asking for all drums. Our food didn't show up till at least 40 min after our appetizer as if the cook forgot our order or was starving and ate our food. Soooo here comes the food, well at least half of it. 5 burnt drum (posted picture). The waitress said that the cook forgot that they were all drums and that he cooked 5 and that he didn't want them to get cold. You mean overcooked? I sent them back trying to be as low key as possible. You know why? I don't like to attract attention to myself. Nor do I want to act like a fool for others that are their enjoying their food(if that's what you want to call it). Â When I returned the wings the waitress said that she apologized for the wings that "the kitchen is real busy" (there were approximately 25 individuals in that fine establishment with a capacity of over 150 given the size of the restaurant. Five minutes later my friends salad comes with the tomatoes that she didn't want and raw bacon that if consumed will F#$% your stomach up. My curly fries never made it to my table. Needless to say the Manager came to my table. I didn't ask for the kid. He was wearing a button up dirty shirt (not even tucked in). Just WOW. He gave us two coupons. You order 10 wings you get 10 free.
When a dining establishment fails of this magnitude I'll never go back. It was horrible for a lack of better words. The women? Not a single good looking one. I might have high standards compared others. Isn't that what hooters is known for. Beer, wings and beautiful women? They used to be. Hooters have just gone under all over the country.
Good riddance. Hopefully!
Haven't been in here in over a year. The bartender I had known and a few waitresses are gone. Place is a bit dead.
Food is always the same, bar food. If you're looking for healthy choices, then Hooters is not the place for you. But the wings are always good.
The girls are always hot, but I agree with another review which states this place has seen its better days.
Been to a few Hooters locations around the US, and I wasn't disappointed with this Warwick, RI edition. Â I had the Fried Haddock Sandwich, which came with a HUGE piece of haddock, and while it was overcooked, was still a pretty decent piece of fish.
The sides were ok, the fries and boneless buffalo wings were a little disappointing, but the fried pickles were crunchy and tasty, although the batter could have used more seasoning.
Also, service and prices are about what you'd expect from a Hooters near a major airport, nothing special, but adequate. Â I'm sure its not the best dining option in the area, but if you're looking for something familiar (and I'll just say it: girls with big boobs) then hit up Hooters.
I was sad when this Hooters closed, so I'm glad it reopened.
After dropping some friends off at T.F. Green Airport, I stopped by Hooters of Warwick to grab lunch. Â Since I was eating solo, I took a spot at the bar and Darby Rae took good care of me. Â I enjoyed a fresh Speedway sandwich -- a grilled chicken breast smothered in cheddar, with tomatoes, bacon, scallions, and Daytona sauce (more BBQ than spicy) on a ciabatta bun with a side of potato salad.
This location gives you the full Hooters experience: no more, no less. Â Service and food were good and I'll certainly be back.
You know what you are going to get walking in the door.
This is not a 5 star establishment.
Not 4 stars. Not even a 3.
But the wings are good and consistent, the beer is cheap and the service is generally acceptable.
So why go? Well, I end up going four or five times a year when I accompany a close friend of mine when he takes his 15 year old son after he performs community service hours (his high school requires all of its students to complete a set number of hours each year in order to graduation). And Kenny likes it. It's close to his high school and this one is close to the airport.
Special? No. Adequate? Absolutely. Fun? Sure.
I really wish I had looked this Hooters up on here prior to arriving there, it would have saved me the trouble of showing up here in the first place. Â I was really in the mood for wings and this is always my fallback place when I am on the road and need wings.
They didn't have the flavor of wings I was looking for which was my first disappointment. Â Then I went to order a particular appetizer (I forget what it was, but it looked good on the menu), and they were all out of them, so I ordered an alternate appetizer. Â The wings weren't quite up to the Hooters standards that I have come to know. Â And as others have said here, the building itself has seen better days I think.
Looking forward to getting back to my local Hooters to re-affirm my enjoyment of their product.
I think it's safe to say that no one will be shocked by my 1 star rating. Â I'm not even sure if it's worth pointing out what I think is probably obvious. Â Hooters is not a fine dining destination. Â I get it. Â It's pretty much scraping the bottom of the barrel. Â With that said, and my expectations at an all-time low, I will say this: Hooters fit my expectations dead on. Â
My fries were pasty pale white. Â I think someone forgot to finish frying them. Â Also, they were overly salted. Â Instead of frying them long enough, they may have salted them twice. Â I'm still figuring it out, but although in ancient times salt was used for preservation, I think COOKING my fries all the way will be a better option. Â
My boneless wings were dry (way overcooked), and not nearly sauced enough. Â It was pretty pathetic. Â I mean, coat them all with sauce. Â It will take 2 seconds longer to just make sure they are COATED in sauce. Â It's not a lot to ask. Â I tasted my friend's regular bone-in wings, and they too were not evenly coated in sauce. Â They were pretty crispy, but really greasy and didn't wow me whatsoever. Â
The only nice thing I can say is that our Hooterific waitress was really nice. Â I mean, it's not her fault she works at Hooters. Â Is it?
this hooters has seen better days!
i would just like to say, this review was for the establishment itself, not the waitresses who all looked happy and perky. the waitress my party had was a peach. also, a guy who i think was the manager (he never introduced himself) came by our table and asked how things were. classy in this slightly less than classy joint!
anyways, the building is old and kinda sketch. there is mold in some of the overhead windows and the treatment or tint on some of the windows is pealing. it just kinda looks dirty inside.
also, i ordered a steak quesadilla and was served a ground beef quesadilla. yes my friends in the kitchen, there is a difference between steak and ground beef. the size of the buffalo shrimp were tiny tiny!
so yea...you can do better. but i think you already know that.
Was in here on a Sunday afternoon looking for some tasty wings & cheap beer. Â Looks like your typical Hooters -- a bit rough around the edges. Â Our waitress was attentive at first (even making a plastic baggie filled with ice to cool our pitcher, which I question if that's even sanitary), but slowly faded toward the end of our meal & totally flaked when it came time to bring us our check.
The food was eh. Â Having been to other Hooters, I expected this food to be on par with those -- not so much. Â The wings were got were Three Mile Island - supposedly pretty spicy, but they went down without so much as a need for beer. Â I ordered the grilled cheese & tomato with fries -- sandwich a bit underdone & fries a bit overdone. Â I will definitely be more careful about what I order if I ever end up in a Hooters again.
THe best part, however, was the $6 Coors Light pitchers... which I guess was some sort of Sunday special. Â Perfect for washing down a meh sandwich.
I was a fan of Hooters until I had probably the worst customer service experience in any restaurant I've ever been to. A group of friends and I went to Hooters to see a wrestling pay per view which they usually show. They weren't showing it that night for a reason that did not make sense told to us by our waitress.
There were about eight of us and we asked for certain items be put of separate checks. We waited for an hour and a half for our food. People were coming, getting their food, and leaving before we got our food. I wanted to go to management but other people at my table begged me to not.
The wait was taking so long that my friend and her boyfriend asked for their food to go. The waitress gave my friend her bill and she gave the waitress her credit card. The waitress returned with her food and credit card and receipt.
As my friend got her food to go we finally got our food. Things were missing and one guy at the table was still waiting for the Coke he ordered when we first sat down.
The waitress was completely ignoring our table even when we acknowledged her when she walked past. Finally she gave us our bill and I noticed that she charged me with the food that my friend and her boyfriend who left supposedly paid for. I told the waitress that they already paid for it and she said that she never rang through my friend's card. I called her and asked if she had her receipt and she said she did but did not remember if she signed anything or not (which I will admit is stupid on my friend's part). I ended up having to pay for everything on a $95 tab.
It was the only time I left no tip. I did leave a long note for the manager explaining why no tip was left. Because of that experience we are never going back there. I do wish I went to management but I didn't because they didn't "want to cause a scene". I just wanted to tell him to not hire crackheads anymore.
There are definitely some good eats...buffalo shrimp, buffalo chix sandwich...but it is for the experience. The waitresses are supposed to be personable and sit right down with you to ensure you are having a fantastic time. Its not a peep show and its not a four star dining experience. Its hooters. They originated in florida and the neon orange in the uniform is simply intended to bring a smile to one's face as we remember the 80's.
It is a fun experience and a great place to watch a major sporting event.
This was my second time ever going to a Hooters. Â The first time was the former Boston location for my 21st birthday nearly 6 years ago. Â Well, this location in RI, was rumored had closed and reopened. Â Well, if it ever did close, they never renovated it when they re-opened. Â The same trashy Florida-esque decor greeted us as though we were visiting in 1982.
First and foremost, this location was like a convention of the itty-bitty tittie committee. Â I know they can't discriminate against the smaller chested gals, but they should at least have one big busted girl on staff at any one time. Â Our waitress was fine but a bit on the dumb side.
The food was as expected, nothing too spectacular, but not bad. Â
I do have a problem that they were out of Mojitos and Pina Coladas. Â
The trip calmed the craving for Hooters and I don't have to go back for a while.
I wish that they had backs on more of their stools, or had chairs instead.
I am not ashamed to admit that this was one of my favorite-sort of ironic-restaurants to hit in college. Â On some nights I'd be the only woman, on others my guy friends and I would be there with crowds of families (hey, it is a 'family establishment'). Â We had several birthday parties there and the staff were always fun and accomodating (unfortunately several of the girls also fall into the Hooter's stereotype--all bleach blonde + boobies, but NOOO brains). Â
Nowadays I'd have no reason to go back, being vegan and on the wagon and all, but nostalgia could potentially get the better of me if I'm ever in the area.
I can also credit this fabulous establishment with introducing me to buffalo sauce (ooh lala buffalo shrimp)--a current, lifelong obsession.
