Before I start my review I need to hop up onto my soapbox and call bullshit on the reviews from Emily C and Megan R. Both of you are toting Elite Badges and one is the freaking Hartford Yelp Ambassador, yet both of your reviews express shock and embarrassment to be seen at the Tilted Kilt because you innocent young ladies walked in there completely unaware of what was going on inside. Isn't the point of Yelp to know what you're getting into BEFORE you show up? Why do people write reviews? I believe it's for others to read them. It should not be a surprise that the girls are wearing naughty school girl outfits considering 10 of the 27 pictures on Yelp prominently feature said outfits. Next as far as the "customers coming in are cheap as shit to begin with" some probably are, just like any restaurant. However, my buddies and I are unapologetic 1%-ers and we enjoy stopping at the Kilt so it's certainly not all of their customers. If it were why wouldn't the waitresses just head over to Applebees for some good family oriented fun. Basing my theory on simple economics, I'm guessing the girls do better in tips at the Kilt than at family oriented restaurants. So please let them make up their own minds instead of trying to decide things for them. OK, rant over, onto my review.
I was heading to Portsmouth on the Merritt on one of my all too common trips. It was getting a late and the Yanks game on CBS-880 was getting too much static to properly enjoy. It was time to grab something to eat and the game was good ... I needed a sports bar ASAP. A quick search on my Yelp App (that's how it's done ladies) and I saw some basic options, as well as a Hooters and a Tilted Kilt. Considering I would be alone, and therefore at the bar at had to decide who I'd rather talk to Moe the bartender or a young girl in a skimpy outfit. It wasn't much of a debate.
I pulled into the parking lot, strolled inside and grabbed a seat at the bar. The Yankee game on several screens as well as a bunch of other games to check out between innings. The bartender came right over and took my order. Within a few minutes I had a beer and a burger in front of me. She even pretended to be interested in my responses to her questions, which was nice.
In conclusion this Tilted Kilt is pretty much just like every other Tilted Kilt. The waitresses are attractive girls in the school girl outfit every guy hopes to see upon entering a Halloween party. The beer is cold, the food is decent and there are plenty of TV's with the game. So if you're a guy who likes booze, burgers and boobs while you watch sports this is the place for you.
They also apparently do a good job of pissing off/embarrassing/chasing away the type of girls most guys don't want around when the game is on anyway.
Well done Tilted Kilt, well done.
i had the pleasure of eating here for my buddy's bachelor party. i didn't know the place existed. Â it was kinda quiet, we were there midday on a saturday. our waitress was very friendly, almost overly friendly. she kept sitting down at our table, talking with us. giving the circumstances i guess thats okay. shes the one wearing next to nothing, we're a bunch of young males. for most instances, sitting down at my table is a huge no-no. i had a bbq bacon burger, it was outstanding. the garlic fries were very very good. perhaps i was hungry from so hours of gokarting earlier. the food was very very good for a chain. probably one of the better burgers i've had in a long time. i need to go back to see if it was a fluke. not sure how the wife would take to the skirts and boobs. maybe its better left for a day with the guys.
Review Source:Was hoping for some nice eye candy on a Saturday night. Instead we got the morning shift! Lots of the girls were overweight with bellies and love-handles hanging out. You would think they'd be more strict in the hiring process considering the identity of the place.
My Shepard's pie was greasy and my friend's pasta dish lacked flavor- very runny and bland. Food is sub-par and the cutest girls are the hostesses, they need to step it up. Waitress spent no time talking with us and had a flat-affect personality.
Like most Yelpers, the reason you come here, the exceptional food and service. Â I mean, come on, there is no way anyone would come here just took look at the gorgeous girls in there right? Â People are not that superficial and go to specifically gauge the food and service... Â How did my poker face do??
Yup, I come here pretty frequently when I visit family in the area, usually with my younger Brother, and yes, my GF, she loves it as well.. Â The Kilt is smart, the girls are not dressed sleazy, and therefore do not push away the female customer. Â However, revealing enough that it draws the male customer in again and again,,
Like many Yelpers have written, it is a hit or miss on your service and food.. Â I have been in several times where the bar is jammed, you are not getting a seat at the bar, and you will wait for drinks at your table.. Â But, is the waiting because your server is slow? Â or, is it because the place is a mad house? Â I am not sure people take that in to account..
Generally, the food is decent, I mean it is pub food, it is nothing outstanding, but it is not bad either.. Â Beer selection is average on tap.. Â Plenty in the bottle..
I will say it is a staple for us when we visit, we always leave having a good time, a pretty good meal and generally saying we just saw some very good looking girls..
Closing, I felt a slight "jab" from a yelper here that wrote "They have your average beers you would expect based on the clientele".. Â Um, well, bud light, miller light and Coors light are your highest selling beers in America. Â I kind of got the feeling this person feels the Kilt was blessed to have him in the bar and that he would even consider drinking such foul beverage.. Â Had to add this, anyway, I would say stop in for sure, I think you will be happy.

I came to the Tilted Kilt on a Saturday afternoon with my husband and my father. The service was good, the beer was cold and the atmosphere was fantastic. Our waitress was a sweet girl with whine we spent a few minutes commiserating about the unfortunate state of dress she was required to be in (I told her I felt bad because she looked like she was freezing, which she was).
Once we ordered, our appetizer (Scotch Eggs, which are a rarity here in the States) arrived fast and hot. For lunch, my husband and I ordered the Sloppy Jane and the Fat Bastard Meatloaf Sandwich. The Sloppy Jane was the best sandwich I've ever had at a chain restaurant, hands down, and the meatloaf sandwich was hearty and tasty. The garlic fries were a perfect accompaniment. My dad had the Black and Blue burger, which didn't seems to have a lot of the blackened spice promised, but it was cooked perfectly and at a large 10oz, was almost too much to finish.
Lunch for three was $54, which included an appetizer, two sodas, and two beers, which, in my opinion, is quite reasonable.
If you're looking for boobs, beer, good food, and service with a smile, the Tilted Kilt can't be beat.
Let's get one thing straight when you're a guy and talking Tilted Kilt: Â you're going there for the girls. Â It's OK. Â You can admit it. Â Really.
Once that's out of the way, you can focus and talk about the beer choices (plentiful) and the menu in this Hooters/sports bar/Irish pub hybrid.
I've tried way too many things here so you do the math on how many visits I've made. But the food is better overall than Hooters and there are a lot more choices.
A great way to go is the BBQ bacon cheeseburger. Â I was actually surprised how good this was. Â The burger is huge and topped with cheddar, bacon, onion strings and BBQ sauce. Â Plus the brioche bun is well buttered and lightly grilled. Â A really impressive effort. Â And they at least serve it with fries, unlike Hooters.
I also really like the buffalo chicken wrap. Â Choose your hot sauce level (go with the Tilted sauce) and the fried chicken tenders are wrapped up with lettuce, tomato, ranch dressing and provolone cheese. Sub bleu cheese for the ranch and it's a winner.
Other highlights: TK Irish nachos, which are fresh cooked potato chips covered with ground beef, tomato and cheese sauce; hot pastrami sandwich; Scottish cheesesteak; Irish dip with au jus for dipping and TK wings.
In a place like this it's eventually about boobs, beer and burgers. Â It is what it is, but it works. Â It's the only one in the state so sit back and enjoy if this is your thing.
The food is very good, the eye candy is friendly, the beer is flowing and there are plenty of TVs showing sports. Â If you're a guy do you really need anything more?
There were two of us.
The beer was cold and fresh, and the service was excellent. Â
We had the 'Irish Nachos' to start - Over fried potato slices with some ground beef, tomatoes, and some kind of white sauce (I think it was supposed to be cheese). Â The only flavor I got was burned potatoes and salt. Â Waste of money.
I had the 'Black and Bleu Burger' - when this burger is done right, it's a work of art - the seasoning combined with the bleu cheese is brilliant. Â This burger was not done right. Â I couldn't taste the spices or the cheese. Â Waste of $$.
My brother got the 'TK Jalepeno Inferno Burger' - nothing jalepeno or inferno about this burger. Â Waste of $$.
That being said, I would go back in a heartbeat. Â
The beer was fresh and cold, and the service was excellent. Â If you enjoy ogling scantily clad young girls (I do), and spending too much for crappy food (I don't), or frequent strip clubs (I don't), then this is the place for you.
The clientele is heavily tilted to dirty old men, with a healthy dose of young pervs (I'm a perverted dirty old man). Â There were some women, and surprisingly families with young children. Â
Let me recommend something - DON'T BRING YOUR CHILDREN. Â There is a place called Wood'n Tap about a half mile away - better food, good service and drinks. Â And kid friendly.
TL;DR - Good for titties and beer, bad for food.
Actually heard about the Tilted Kilt a few years back as it is a chain that got written up nationally for it's...somewhat unique...concept. Â By now you've probably already read that the concept is Hooters meets Irish Pub. Â Right there, you will either be intrigued or completely put off, so you only need to keep reading if you're in the former category. Â This review will focus on the food / drink / vibe along with how it compares to your standard Hooter's experience (let's be honest...that's why you're coming).
Tilted Kilt in Wethersfield benefits from the previous ownership's (Humphrey's) total renovation of the property. Â You have a very nice and open bar area and restaurant seating area with dark woods and irish themes throughout. Â Very similar to what Humphrey's put in place, but they've punched up the Irish considerably and maybe even added a TV or 10 to the mix (A good place to go to watch a game). Â Sports Bar meets Irish Pub vibe...I actually like it a lot although the fact that it is a chain sits in the back of my mind reminding me that this is a very planned and not authentic vibe. Â Depending on when you go, you will either find a lot of scantily clad young female servers or a ton of them. Â If your goal is to soak in the beauty of the female form...well, you have lots of female forms to look at and they're all in uniforms meant to accentuate as much as possible.
I've been 4-5x now always at the bar or table close to the bar and service is always very uneven. Â Came one time with a friend and we left in frustration after bartenders served us one beer and ignored us the rest of the time (we actually left empty glasses for 10 minutes in front of us, a bartender finally comes, makes no eye contact, takes the empty glasses and moves on). Â Other times, friends and I had 2-3 servers chatting us up over the course of the night. Â It all depends on how well your server has been trained on the art of connecting with the customer I guess. Â I say it that way, because you can feel the corporate training manual oozing out of each conversation as the inevitable small talk ensues (Where you from? Â How was your day? Etc.) Like TGIF has their flair, you can tell these girls are graded on how well they flirt with the customer. Â
Will give some props for the beer selection. Â DIdn't count but would estimate the number of taps at 20 - 30. Â Of course, given the clientele, half the taps are taken up by all the standbys (Miller, Bud, Coors, etc), but they always have 5-6 different micro's available to keep me interested.
The food? Â You shouldn't come here expecting a five star experience, but they underwhelm on even that score. Â I've only done apps at the bar each time, but they are all pretty bad creations that are obviously being shipped in frozen from corporate. Â The "pizza" is shredded cheese and Ragu sauce on a wheat tortilla shell from what I can tell. Â The meat on the Irish Nachos is flavorless with the cheddar liquid squirted on top. Â The wings were OK if I recall though...your basic preparation (deep fried and doused with sauce). Â They weren't great, mind, you, but better than the alternatives. Â Again, you're not coming here for the food...but still, they could put forth a little bit of effort.
I would pen a very similar review of Hooters I guess. Â So how do the two compare? Â If Hooters is your game, I would say that this place meets or beats Hooters on all counts really. Â The vibe is cooler, the girls are more plentiful, and the food is roughly the same (Maybe Hooters gets a slightly better score here if you can believe). Â Why do I keep coming back then? Â Honestly, I'm not suggesting the place when I have the chance to direct traffic, but when the guys want to meet up and one of the guys swears by it, what are you going to say? Â But certainly not a place you're going to take your female friends or children to and not a place you're going to come to for the food either.
I went again with a different group of friends and the food was the same. Â good, but not amazing. Â The hot wings are something I do like though.
The beer is good and there are some selections on tap that you can't normally get.
Our waitress was much better this time and I did have a good time.
stop comparing this place to hooters, first off. Â when is the last time you have seen a hooters go out of business? Â (like this place will, but to be fair, so has every other restaurant that has ever been located in that lot on the silas deane highway).
i don't know what to think of this place really, but the food is a waste of money as are the drinks/pricing. Â i think it was the most pissed off $15-20 i have spent in quite some time. Â
nothing better than 4-5 random kilt girls YELLING at you upon entering either. Â it's like ok i get it, i am welcome here, how many of you need to tell me? Â and then once you are seated, you get to listen to everybody elses entrance as well. Â Â
1 person would be enough, the rest of you go find something better to do, like be moderately attractive.
the whole gimmick is overplayed. Â i am sure i would enjoy myself more if these girls would just dress normal and smile instead of display some poor, regrettable tattoo.
you can tell by the reviews that the good reviews are from the old, lonely perverts with nobody to talk to. Â (which is understandable, but still sad and not accurate). Â but seriously, look at the reviewers, they are the same creeps you see at the restaurant at any given time. Â
i went once with little desire to ever go back, unless one of my friends decides to drag me along, again.
I'm not a big fan of the tilted kilt at night but i do enjoy lunch there!!!! i usually always sit at the bar and the difference between the day shift & the night shift is why I dislike going there at night... During the day I get Great service, Hot & Fast food, and the girls are very lovely and intelligent ... The girls at night are lazy: would rather talk to each other: pretty much the polar opposite than day time... Hope they fix up soon... Or else I don't see them staying open much longer
Review Source:This is an excellent restaurant! Really if your a guy obviously this is the place for you! Excellent food and great drinks. All of their entrees and sandwiches are awesome. I highly recommend the paddy bomb (a shot) or one of their shaker drinks! Pretty much everything on their food menu is excellent! the sandwiches are my favorite items. I go once a week with my team so I have had pretty much everything on their menu and we keep going back. The wait staff is very friendly , the people here who complain about the waitstaff are women and obviously wont like all female waitresses wearing skimpy clothes, which I have no problem with. This is 10X better than hooters! the food and drinks are much much better and the wait staff is also much better!
Review Source:I went into the tilted kilt for lunch while down in Ct. on business i was seated wright away and my server was prompt in getting my drink/food order. I was very pleased with my burger and really liked the fact that it was cooked on the flame. I found the staff very pleasant . If i didn't live in West Springfield Ma. i would vist more often.
Review Source:Terrible service, food was burnt, had to ask several times for refills and it wasn't even busy for a Tuesday night. Left a crummy tip because service was the worst ever and three days later I learned, via my online bank, the server beefed up her tip and gave herself more money. When I called to talk to the manager she didn't reimburse my stolen money. Beware of this place!!! Hooters is so much better!!!!!
Review Source:Went here for lunch yesterday while on business in Connecticut. Many of the other regviews are right, that this is basically a cross between Hooters and a sports pub. The decor and menu are very typical of many pubs (sports and movie memorabilia on the walls) while the Hooters element was mainly the revealing uniform that the waitresses wear. If that kind of thing offends you, then you should probably avoid this place.
I was seated right away, and my drink order was taken moments later. Like many chain restaurants, the menu contains a painful amount of dishes. I decided to be boring, so I just ordred a burger, which arrived within 5-6 minutes. At a price of $8.99, the burger was an excellent value. The patty as huge and had great flavor. But what I really loved were the garlic fries (seriously why don't more restaurants offer garlic fries????).
To sum things up, good food, good service, good.prices. Definitely four stars.
I had the same reaction as Megan R upon entering this place - embarrassed. And embarrassed that someone might see me. I was meeting up with some gal pal former coworkers and this was the lunch spot they decided on.
Among the sea of cleavage, tramp stamps, bleached hair and the occasional love handles (those are some tight skirts), there were at least 90% men. I can see why, of course, but I can't say it isn't creepy as hell.
The outdoor patio was quite nice on a warm day like today. The wings were fine. Service was ok, but our server was obviously more interested in doting on middle aged men (hello TIPS!) than a group of gals on a lunch outing. The hostesses were pitifully awkward (asking "is this your first time?" "yes" "Ooo! how do you like it?" before even seating us. Sorry honey, too early to tell. But I have a sneaking suspicion I'll continue to be grossed out and mortified on your behalf throughout the meal.)
If you want to ogle at teenage girls in skimpy "kilts" aka naughty school girl outfits, this is your place for sure. Food is secondary, but I suppose that's the point.
Most of the waitresses were beautiful. Outfits are over the top hot. Food was really really good. Burgers are big and garlic parmesan fries were very tasty. The whole atmosphere was very pleasing. Even has comical sayings in both restrooms and wall outside the restroom to give you a good chuckle after freshening up.
Review Source:Went here with my friend for a girls night out only to find the girls being completely rude to us when we arrived and during our stay. We are completely confident with our bodies and don't need to wear skimpy outfits like the girls who work there. We just wanted to have a few drinks and hang out. Â We were verbally pushed out of the bar from the girls that work there. Will never go back again & will make sure we spread the word to others who want to go.
Review Source:Went here two Sundays ago after a long day at work to have a quick meal at a low price.
I was expecting it to be a clone of Hooters, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was much nicer and more upscale. Â Whereas Hooters has an underprivileged Southern atmosphere to it, TiLtEd KiLt has a more middle-class New-England-meets-British-Isles atmosphere to it. Â It's a fine place to go with a group of friends for a drink and a few bites, but it's not exactly a fine dining place you'd take a date.
I sat at the bar because I was alone and wanted to be served right away. Â There were two people at the bar: a guy my age and a middle-aged woman in the Tilted Kilt uniform with a short top tied between the breasts and a short kilt. Â I ordered an iced tea with a side salad and fish tacos.
The iced tea came right away, and I had asked the waitress for cheese with my salad, but she forgot to bring it. Â She disappeared and didn't come back with the cheese until I was about half done with the salad. Â I was a little disappointed it took so long because the restaurant was not overwhelmingly busy -- maybe about 40 or so customers and a good 5 or 6 servers.
It turns out she was preoccupied with two Neanderthals who almost came to blows with each other on the other side of the bar (thankfully the alcohol bottles blocked my view of this melodrama).
I enjoy watching melodrama on Melrose Place and Desperate Housewives, but not in real life. Â Public displays of intense emotion make me feel very uncomfortable and in my opinion have no place in a restaurant where people are trying to relax and have a good time. Â Maybe it's my upbringing that makes me feel this way but I don't think such activities reflect well upon our society and are a sign that our social manners leave a lot to be desired.
The food was two steps up from Hooters, a restaurant whose food I find extremely unpalatable. Â Most of the dishes are fried, frozen foods, which is fine for a night out with friends or as a single guy such as myself trying to unwind, but it's not exactly a health-food establishment. Â The foods are not so greasy however, that they are sickening. Â The smell of fried chicken at Hooters is so overpowering sometimes that it makes me lose my appetite. Â
Fish tacos were decent, but not outstanding. Â They had a good white sauce added to them that was slightly spicy, but not overpowering. Â They were served with a large portion of tortilla chips with salsa, which was almost certainly out of a can. Â It was fine, but unremarkable. Â
By the way: I'm a young gay man but I'm willing to come back. Â hopefully, the service will be better when the waitresses are not preoccupied with belligerent men. Â
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Anyone who is offended by the suggestive uniforms at Tilted Kilt needs to get out more.
I mean, really.
When I was in Italy, many of the bars on the beach had topless women in them, and they were NOT strip clubs.
I am BEYOND tired of prudish Americans who get offended by everything. there are far too many people in this country that act offended by harmless sexuality so they can feel moral superiority.
Had lunch there with 2 business associates today. Atmosphere was two equal parts sports bar and Hooters. There were eleven (count em ! eleven !!) TV's suspended over the tables tuned in to every sports cable station known to mankind. ESPN. ESPN2, SNY, for godsakes even the NHL Network!! The servers were all graduates of the head tilting-hair flipping-hands posed jauntily on their hip- size 0 -sit at your table - look you in the eyes - and earnestly talk to you about what beers are on tap - school. We sat near the front door, so every time a new patron walked in, we heard three sopranos screech an aria of "Hi, Â Welcome to the Kilt!" I was bummed by this interruption, because they kept drowning out "Layla" - one of my all time favorite songs
OK, I guess it's time I wrote about the food, we ordered a "Fat Bastard's Meatloaf Sandwich", a Black and Blue Burger, and a TK Jalapeno Inferno Burger. The TKJIB had a little red flame next to it- the menu legend said this "might sting your tastebuds a little". This was the understatement of the year. It had zero zip and I was expecting at least a little burn considering how high they raised the bar with the name of the dish.. The meals were all about $10 each and were good/average pub food.
All in all, it was a fun afternoon out with the boys. It seemed like most of the tables shared the same reason we did to go out for lunch-- the place was at least 98% of the male persuasion
My boyfriend and I decided to try this place out this past Tuesday evening. Â I had heard an ad on the radio about it and he had heard about it through word of mouth or something a while back but, being from Mass, couldn't try it out because there aren't any in that state. Â Anyway, as we pulled into the parking lot, my first impression was "Wow, it's packed!" as the parking lot was completely full. Â Once we found a spot, walking up to the building my next immediate impression was the TVs EVERYWHERE that I could see from outside. Â
As soon as we walked in the door, we were greeted and immediately sat by a friendly girl (waitress or hostess, I'm not sure) at one of the tables to the left of the bar. Â The ambiance seemed very upbeat and the walls were decorated top to bottom in a Celtic & sports style. Â The place was packed (very much so for a Tuesday, IMO). Â I don't understand the reviews complaining about slow servers because we hadn't even opened our menus when a girl in those cute kilt outfits everyone has mentioned walked by and asked if we had a server yet. Â We said no, and she immediately sat down (which I determined throughout the meal is part of their "style" in the place, not mere laziness) introduced herself, and asked if she could get us some drinks. Â
I had a Tilted Tea (basically a version of LIT) and my boyfriend ordered one of the draft beers. Â While she was getting our drinks, we had another girl walk by to check that we had been greeted. Â (Observing the rest of the diners, the servers seemed extremely attentive, always at least a couple visible and interacting with their guests, as well as the busboy constantly making rounds). Â We ordered the signature wings for appetizer. Â They were good, similar to a teriyaki seasoning, not a huge portion but the wings were meaty and the dipping sauce had a nice twist to it. Â For entrees we ordered their version of a French Dip and the Chicken Fried Chicken. Â Now, I need to point out that our server checked on us repeatedly, letting us know that our app and again that our meals would be out shortly, while getting drinks as needed. Â One of the draft beers that my boyfriend ordered, he thought was horrible and when she came to check, he told her so asking for something else. Â She not only took the beer back (and off the check), but returned with a sample (suggested by the bartender) which he liked much better and ordered.
The meals came out almost immediately after we finished the appetizers and the plates were cleared. Â Mine was the Chicken Fried Chicken. Â The portion was huge (for me at least, I ended up having to take the rest home). Â The vegetables were fine, nothing extravagant, the chicken was a VERY decent portion size, the seasoning was good and the gravy as well. Â I would have liked a little more gravy but that's probably because of the mashed potatoes. Â MY ONLY DISLIKE. Â The mashed potatoes tasted starchy and blah, and were obviously not homemade potatoes. Â So disappointed in that. Â Otherwise, everything else was good, I was told the French Dip was good (he didn't give me a chance to try it so must've been). Â We skipped out on dessert but had another round of drinks instead. Â
Overall, definitely will return. Â SOOOOO much better than Hooters. Â I noticed the other reviews and the ones claiming it was trashy and just a Hooters wannabe were a bunch of women and, honestly, being a female myself, I thought it was great (and my boyfriend agreed). Â The girls are super nice and attentive, the ambiance is so much better, the food is 10X better and I enjoyed myself, the other diners, and the hockey game to my right, baseball to my left, and 6 other TV's I could see from my seat. Â We had a blast and I MOST DEFINITELY intend to make this a frequent stop for some drinks and "better" pub-style food.
I was very surprised. Â This is the third attempt at a restaurant here in as many years. Â The parking lot was maxed out, the large floor plan bustling with people. Â They cracked the code. Â TVs, a wacky theme and lots of flesh.
The men and women working here do actually where kilts! Â The staff is primarily young women with short skirts and bare midriffs. Â The men I saw were apparently Bar Backs and backroom staff. Â As Megan discussed, and others pointed out, it is Hooters with a tartan. Â The facility is nicer, the food is better, but this is a place that caters to men. Â Anyhow.. is the theme Scottish or Irish? Â Does it really matter? Â They have an identity crisis going on.
My colleague and I ventured in for lunch.  I had the.. wait for it.. "Chicken fried Chicken".  This must be a play on  "Chicken Fried Steak" entrees.   One complaint. The mashed potatoes were re-hydrated.  Come on!  Make your own mashed potatoes people!  The veggies were good as was the chicken.  The wait staff was very nice, but I still wish they served real mashed potatoes!  This is a very large restaurant, we were treated well, the portions were ample.
I went here with a couple friends not knowing what to expect. Â It is supposed to be an Irish twist on Hooters I suspect. Â The food and service were both very good. Â The food came out promptly and was hot and fresh. Â
At the end of our meal, the manager came over to my table and we chatted for a few mins. Â Overall, I would come back here with friends. Â I have read a few other reviews and am a little confused, because I did not find this place trashy. However, it is not a place that I would take a date to.
We drove past this place, with no idea what it was. My cousin came up to visit, and we needed to select a place for dinner. I googled, and was outvoted. Therefore, I knew where I was going, and what I was getting myself into.
Yes it's moderately trashy; yes the service is slow (we sat for about 15 minutes and my cousin had to get up and ask where our server was); yes, our server was a complete moron that spilled my beer on my cousin's phone and blamed it on the bar for overfilling the beer, and yes I was one of 5 women in the entire place. But it has TV's all around the room (we were able to catch some of the Daytona 500), a better than average draft list, and the food is decent pub food.
The place was packed on a Monday night - dirty old men, frat boys that don't stand a chance, and guys trying to have a beer away from their wives. Whatever, I don't judge. The food did take a little bit to come out, and while at first glance everything seemed sort of small, it ended up being enough food.
If I were going to be the only girl in a group of friends that wanted to go to dinner, I'd have no problem going back. Otherwise, I'd probably opt for something a little more mixed-company friendly.
Wethersfield was doing okay with Hooters on the Berlin Turnpike. It is a Hooters, but its kind of a classic, and it's been there for a while. Unfortunately, now there is a chance for girls to live the Hooters work experience in a much trashier way, at The Tilted Kilt.
The parking lot was jam packed for this bar/restaurant on a Sunday night. Once we were inside, I noticed that we were some of the only women customers in the place. I understood as soon as I saw the service staff.
Almost all the girls working here appeared to be between the ages of 18 and 20. They were all dressed as if they were rejected extras in Britney's "Baby One More Time" video. Â Cheap plaid short mini skirts, white midriff blouses and bright red plaid bras were busting seams everywhere. Â The girls were not particularly attractive, and the cheap, sleazy uniforms only made it worse.
The menu looked like a replica of one from Applebee's or Chili's, exactly what every other American bar/restaurant has. So predictable. We had already eaten dinner, and were choosing to skip the dessert here, and opted for a round of drinks instead.
It was obvious to see why our table of all girls was being ignored a little more than any other table. We noticed several of the servers pulling up chairs and sitting down at the tables with guys to "chat". Pushing together your cleavage might get you more tips, but when the customers coming in are cheap as shit to begin with, you might be disappointed. Â
I was super embarrassed when I came into this place. I was embarrassed someone I knew might see me in there, I felt embarrassed for the girls who chose to lie to the parents about working there, and I feel really embarrassed for Wethersfield. Come on, historical town. Let's class it up a bit.
Stopped in here this week after hearing a lot about the chain, and enjoyed it quite a bit. as far a casual chain restaurants go...you arent gonna have a 5 star meal or anything. But its a solid place. The location is a good one, the place was packed and the waitstaff was attentive (and even better was the waitstaff attire!), and the bar area is pretty well set up, good size and plenty of TVs. The food was hot, fresh, and good, no complaints. I will definitely stop in for a beer and to watch the game.
Review Source:This new place is awesome!! Its in the building where Humphrey's used to be. Went for the first time tonight. Waitstaff was attentive and quick. I had the Irish Beef Stew, which was good, and my friend had the cod, which was flaky, fresh and delicious. Awesome for happy hour after work, and a good hearty meal. I'll be going back.
