Hooters, Hooters, Hooters, what have you done. On Friday we set out to the convention, an animé convention, in hindsight maybe what you did to us was retribution for our sins, in that case, I still can’t forget you. My sister, her friend, and I walked in at about 7:30, we were tired, sweaty, covered in the dust of an animé convention. We didn’t know it would end even worse than it had begun. We stood there awkwardly for about 5 minutes, not knowing whether we should seat ourselves of wait to be seated until a cheerful looking waitress came over and asked for us to excuse her for the wait. The restaurant was at half capacity. Being decent human beings of course we excused her and took a seat at a booth where the afternoon sun beat in like it had something to prove. Our server, another cheerful, well-meaning waitress, who I will call charlie, came over and took our drink orders, 2 waters and an iced tea. Charlie then proceeded to disappear into the void, at least I’m pretty sure it was the void, there is no way she was in the restaurant all that time and not come over to communicate with us in a meaningful way. Charlie was gone long enough that another server came over and checked on us thinking that we hadn’t been served yet. About a half hour passed until she came back to take our food order. Drinks still hadn’t come. Realizing this i just mention that we haven’t gotten our drinks yet thinking that she may have forgotten. Charlie turns to walk away, thinking that she might be another half hour before we see her again, and ask if she can take our order. Charlie takes it and then disappears again. We wait, politely and patiently, a half hour passes we get our waters and an iced tea, she brings out small plates and we get excited, but lo, nothing came. An entire hour passes, Charlie comes over to our area with plates, our excitement builds as we’ve become desperate, she starts laying the plates down. Ohhhhhhh boy. 2 of the orders are completely wrong. My sister’s order is right but hold up and call NASA because the bottom of it is darker than vanta black. We tell her two of the orders are not right and ask if they can be sent back. My sister, ravenous with hunger, sets into her black sandwich after scraping as much coal off it as possible. Time continues to pass, my sister finishes her sandwich and we result to eating the blackened cheese bits from her plate. What’s that speech Frodo gives in the 3rd Lord of the Rings while laying on the side of the mountain with Sam after destroying the ring? «We forgot the taste of bread… the sound of trees… the softness of the wind.» By this time several people have come in, eaten, and left. We’re done making jokes and speculating to what ends of the earth Charlie has ventured trying to acquire our food. A group of small children come in for one of the kid’s birthdays, the group of six get in, get served, get a birthday hoopla, and get out while we still wait for our food. The restaurant has been at quarter capacity since just after the first half hour we were in there. Charlie comes over and asks Betsy if she would like to pay, she says yes. A half hour passes from Betsy getting her food before Charlie brings out our stuff. Being that it was about 9:00pm by the time we get our food combined with the fact we hadn’t eaten much of anything since breakfast, we could have been served dead flies and we would have accepted it like it was a gift of diamonds from the Queen herself. We scarf down our meager meal with wild abandon. Any dream of dessert we had thought possible completely abandoned. Charlie comes over and asks if we’d like to pay and leaves again. I hope whatever masterpiece she’s working on in the back is worth it. We’ve been in the Hooters for about 2 hours at this point and it’ll be another 25 minutes before Charlie comes back with the debit machine. She makes light conversation as we’re paying. Do I like Drake? Hunny I’ll tell ya I sucked the dude off if it will get us out faster. Lord forgive us but there were no tips given this meal. We emerge from the establishment 2 hours and half hours spent, emotionally and physically drained. I swear I could see a «Welcome to Hell» sign on the distant horizon.

This was my first time at a Hooters restaurant. I heard many things about this franchise over the years and decided to see what the hype was about. The place was full of gorgeous servers that did not seem too happy to be there. I ordered two pints of beer(Bud and Rolling Rock) that were flat. The two staff members that served me seemed nice on the surface, but never made eye contact with me or made small talk. It was like they were following protocol. In the end my bill came to about $ 17. Hooters tries to recreate what I get at my local pub: a sexy girl who pours me beer while pretending to like me(a 30+ year old alcoholic with a beer gut). However, I just don’t think a corporation can recreate that. You are better off going to an independent bar with a sexy bartender, and there are plenty of those in the GTA. I will not be coming back.

One girl. Giant bar. Walked around the restaurant twice, was not greeted by anyone. Waitress was too busy with her phone to notice me walking in. Great service huh!

The take out special with 40 wings, fries, gravy, and slaw for $ 29 is a heck of a deal. The wings are a bit greasy but that seems to be descriptive of Hooter’s wings. Despite that, they ARE very good. Medium=mild. Hot=medium.

I simply love this Hooters. Leaving my home nest of Montréal for Toronto 3 years ago, I was looking for a place with maternal figures that I could call home — well Hooters is home. Great home style food with even greater service. I love being served by Georgia, Wisconsin, and the rest of the 50 States. Hooters has the best grilled cheese in the World.

This particular Hooters is a decent place for lunch. You could also go the strip club next door as well. Up to you. Hooters doesn’t have a lunch menu really but the main menu works just fine. This location is huge and unfortunately, that makes it appear as though its empty most of the time. In case you don’t know, Hooters offers up classic fare like burgers, sandwiches, and wings. The chicken tender sandwich is pretty good as they have it served on buttered up Texas Toast, while the tenders tossed in hot sauce are covered with sauce and cheese as well. Their curly fries are always so good. The wings here are OK. They’ve been better in the past, but their Daytona Style is good as they finish that off on the grill. The servers are pretty but they’re always scrambling around for no reason? Regardless, it’s a decent place for lunch and if you’re craving wings.

I often come to this Hooters and ask for Jayd she is great and always checks the food and orders to make sure everything is done on time. Very friendly and I would suggest her serving you as she is a very outgoing person. She knows what she is doing and loves what she does. Jayd you are great!!! Keep it up!!!

This place is so close yet I don’t go very often. It’s sort of a special occasion place if you will. It’s not like they have the healthiest food in the world so deep fried chicken wings for me at least is something I have to take in as a special occasion. I love their wings I can’t lie. They are greasy because they are buttery and I like the variety of sauces they have even though 99 times out of 100 I will end up getting the Buffalo on the hot side and even add more hot sauce to them. I like them breaded instead of naked because I like them crunchy and they end up just being«bigger». Again not the best thing to eat but a once in a while treat. The deep fried pickles from here are a MUCH smaller serving size than many of the other Hooters establishments I’ve been to which were all in the US and even the one in Edmonton has a larger serving. Anyway I take it for granted I have this place so close to me but it’s like one of those«I can but I don’t want to» instead of «I can’t» go to places. It’s nice to know they are nearby when I have the need to go but I don’t very often. Mentally I associate this place with my youth and travel within the USA especially Florida where I’ve been to a bunch down there and where it all started way back in the day.

Been here a couple of times and this location holds some sentimental memories for me. My most recent visit will be my last. Very disappointing. The service was terrible, we had to ask a waitress to clear the table so we could sit and the place wasn’t busy either. They were all just standing around chatting. The calamari tasted like rubber and we sent it back. We also had chicken tenders which were undercooked — also sent them back and wings. The wings were good — that was the only thing that was decent. Then had to argue with the manager who still wanted to charge for the calamari and the chicken tenders even though we didn’t eat any of it and sent it all back because we were disgusted with the food. The server was friendly but she was slow and clearly didn’t look at any of the food before bringing it out. For these reasons they get one star.

Drinks were cold. Waitress unattentive. Side salad was good except for the dressing. Blue cheese dressing a little thicker than milk and tasteless. Wings were not like I am used to in the states. Much smaller and the heat scale is a bit on the whimpy side. Second drink was cold too :)

It’s a Hooters so you should know what to expect. Happy hour special was $ 3.25 bud and bud lights. Didn’t make me too happy but maybe the higher prices were just a Toronto thing. Waitress was pretty but rather inattentive. Boneless wings and fries were fine, nothing to write home about.

Well been here many time with boys for some all you can eat wings and some drinks. The place is great! Food: for the given price the wings are decent! Service: is quite good as they have you seat quick and food/drinks come in a decent time. Price: prince point is decent for the quality of food they provide. Parking: plenty of parking in the plaza its located in. Entertainment: lot of tvs and different games are on all the time. Servers: are very friendly and looks like they are enjoying work, which makes the service good. Patio: I love their patio as its near the airport and you can see the planes flying by you really close. Seating: Lot of seating inside and on the patio.

Host and servers are friendly but not the best looking that I’ve seen. Food needs work. Buffalo shrimp — batter falling off means they did it wrong Hooters inconsistent menu and names of flavors are poor. 911 are Bentley in Texas, but something else in Canada and Florida. And the heat index is a joke. I had to add hot sauce onto their 911 wings. Bunch of babies in Canada.

Awful, just awful. The food was awful, the staff are incredibly rude, I guess from being hit on all day and night, service took forever, would never go back… ever.

What can I say? Typical Hooters fare. Decent wings and decent service. We all had to wait for refills a little too frequently to rate this establishment any higher. Our waitress was very cordial however.

Sadly, this was not what I’ve come to expect from a Hooters restaurant, at least not the night I went. It wasn’t terrible, but it just wasn’t up to the standard I’ve seen at other Hooters restaurants. Nobody greeted me at the door, but at most Hooters restaurants I’m used to two or three cheerful ladies welcoming me in and suggesting great places to sit and see whatever game is on. After seating myself my friendly, but clearly distracted waitress came up to tell me about the special and take my drink order. I said she was friendly, and she would have been just fine in a regular«family dining» establishment, but she didn’t make any efforts to engage me. In every other Hooters I’ve been to, the waitress will do things like sit down, ask me how I am, etc. It’s those little extras that make Hooters a fun place for guys to go to. My order came out fairly promptly and the poutine was good. The boneless wings weren’t breaded quite right. Hooters breading should be thin, light, and crispy and the chicken tender and juicy. This was, in most places, thick, hard and crunchy and the chicken was a little bit overcooked. The difference may be subtle, but it is important. They weren’t bad, so I didn’t send them back or anything, they just weren’t quite right. I had my meal and three beers over the course of about an hour to an hour and a half. At both opportunities for refills on my beer, I sat for a long time before the waitress noticed that I was empty. Again, not a huge deal, but most Hooters waitresses I’ve had the pleasure of ordering from are very conscientious about refills, offering more before you’ve even finished what’s in your glass. I can’t honestly say she was a bad waitress, she got the job done, but she spent most of the time I was there either somewhere on the other side of the restaurant(as in, I couldn’t find her when I stuck my head up to look for her because my beer was empty) or chatting with the guys at one table. I feel a little bad because I did not tip her well, but I really didn’t feel like she earned more than a basic tip. So all in all, it wasn’t a *bad* experience, but it fell short in enough areas that I wish I had decided to spend my evening somewhere else.

I honestly don’t care what anyone thinks about me when i post that i love Hooters by the Airport. The place rocks for a couple reasons(and no its not the large boobs) 1) the Patio is large, right on the runway so if your into plane spotting its awesome. I saw the A380 fly over once while enjoying a cold one. 2) The place is amazing for sports! All the screens for UFC are tuned to the fight(there are a massive amount of TV’s There) and the place gets a great crowd for UFC. They also have a great NFL line up with $ 2.00 bud and bud light on sale during Sunday game times for. I don’t like bud i will stomach it for the price. The food is ok for a night out for UFC and beer.
