Hooters

Went today for lunch.  Great time because the ladies were especially nice.  Had the 911 flavored buffalo chicken sandwich with extra lettuce and tomatoes and a side of cole slaw.  Delicious.  The boneless wing Wednesday special for $7.99 comes with fries and dips.  It's a little weak because the boneless pieces are so tiny but the lemon pepper rub is really tasty.  Chipotle honey ain't bad.

Grace, thanks for wishing my friend a happy birthday.  He almost went to go see patients with those "I love Hooters" stickers on his back.

This review is based on last night. I've been here several times and didn't have toooooooooo many problems, but last night was horrendous.

The wings were better about 6 months ago. They're slimy and veiny, and the sauces are kind of runny. The boneless wings for all-you-can-eat Tuesday aren't that great either. Most of them are so tiny and over-breaded, so all you get is fried bread with a tiny piece of chicken in the meal.Nothing additional is free - pay for bleu cheese or ranch, pay for carrots and celery (and let's face it, $5 for celery?).

But ok, it's Hooters, and they aren't pulling customers in for the food. If you're going to boast about your talent, then at least make sure they HAVE some talent - not just physically. The waitresses that were in my section last night were so horrible, that we actually took back $1 each from her tip - something everyone knows is sacrilege in my book.

The service last night was nothing short of appalling. I get the tables of high school boys are fun because they say things that boost your ego, but come on. You are WORKING. Our waitress walked by us several times and we couldn't flag her down. We ordered food and waited an hour for wings, and another hour for the bleu cheese. We asked for another pitcher of beer, and it took half an hour. Finally, we just wanted to get out of there, and it took another half hour to get our credit cards back.

I generally used to go for trivia - they don't police the cheating, so it's completely ridiculous, obvious, and crappy. Add that to the bad service, mediocre food, and then the parents bringing kids as young as four, dropping off kids that aren't even old enough to drive....it's obnoxious and too much.

After last night, I will not be going back.

I love hooters
