Hooters

This is an updated review. I used to love this place. I’m probably one of the few people who actually went there for the food. Best wings in the nation, I once thought. Then they changed their hot sauce. Why anyone would change what made them famous I will never understand. That was as stupid is Coca Cola changing their recipe back in the eighties. Shortly after that, they changed their homemade ranch dressing. Ruined it too. I used to make fun of all of the other nasty wings places because of how small their wings are. Then Hooters in all of their wisdom change to those small cheaper wings. Then somebody in their organization came up with the bright idea to remove the little wing flapper which was the only thing left that set them apart. So now instead of being the place that serves the largest wings that are easy to eat because of the wing flapper «handle» with the best sauce and the best dipping Ranch in the nation they are now sadly just another wing place served by some pretty girls. I guess when I’m hungry for wings, I’ll just eat at home as I will not ever be returning to Hooters. If I want to see pretty girls I’ll go to Redneck Heaven. It disgusts me to think they have gone so low.

The waitress was very quick to clean off the requested booth so we could be seated, but after this the experience went down hill. We ordered appetizers– the tots and fried pickles/​jalapenos. Our half fried pickles/​jalapenos was basically all jalapenos as well as the fact that the food was nearly dead when it reached us. We then went on to order 2 lbs of crawfish each for two of us and sliders with burgers and chicken. Our crawfish came out, but my husbands sliders took almost 20 minutes. Please do not blame the kitchen for mistakes made by a server– biggest pet peeve. Admit you forgot. If it had not been absolute terrible service on Nicole’s part I may believe the fact that the kitchen had to fry more, but because I went without a refill, my husband went without a refill and we were denied a large dessert almost 15 minutes before close I just highly doubt it. When a restaurant says they close at 11pm, I’m not one to stay but maybe 10 minutes after close, but I expect to be served until close. As for the manager James he did take in my complaint and offer a dessert, but by then they were already closed and I didn’t want to add any extra work. Needless to say the experience was mediocre and the wait staff really needs to step their game up.

After a long day at work all I want was a cold beer and some food. I got beer but no food, manager and server really didn’t seam to care about the situation. after waiting more then 30 minutes for food I canceled my order asked for check and left.

We came on a Wednesday for the bottomless wings and to hang out. It was kind of busy because of the daily deal.
I had not been to this Hooters since before the remodel and it looked really nice. There are a lot of tv’s to watch whatever sporting event you are interested in.
The service was pretty ok. The food was good if you were starving. The wings were good and flavorful, but not overly amazing. You get to change the flavor every order if you’d like and it comes with fries.
*Be aware you are not allowed to take any food to go with you. (Someone at our table did not know)

We had a party of 14. They gave us one waitress. She tried her best… But food was cold and missing items. Drinks from bar were shorted… We sent food back have requested to speak to MGR

Got a buffalo chicken sandwich with mild sauce. But apparently mild sauce just means no sauce. I asked for a side of sauce but she said she would charge me for it. What about the sauce that came with the sandwich I didn’t get? I ordered a buffalo sandwich not just a fried chicken sandwich. Tried to get onion crispers but apparently they just have that all over their menu and don’t carry them anymore. Food was greasy. First time I’ve been here again in years and now I remember why I stopped.

I came here an hour and a half before closing after a 12 hour day. and disappointed is being nice. servers are too busy flirting with the regulars, manager is no better and not going around to see how things are. I complained to my server that my burger was cooked well done and didn’t even ask me how I wanted it cooked to begin with. and wings??? what this establishment is supposed to be known for… over cooked and dry! when I complained about the burger she asked if I wanted another, that’s after I’ve ben waiting fifteen minutes for her to come by so I could wait? by then I was famished and just ate the burger. and she asked if I wanted them to make another? why, to waste another burger that I won’t eat because I just ate more than half of the first crap burger? if you’re not a regular, just go to a fast food spot… at least you can expect a bad burger. maybe if I was more flirtatious and gave them more attention, I’ll get better service… but sorry… I came to a restaurant to eat… not flirt… end rant.

I’ve popped in a time or two after class. I was 25 years old the first time I tried Hooters and I’ve been hooked on their hot wings since. (Why didn’t anyone tell me this place existed?) I know some would consider such a love blasphemous but I can’t help it… my tastebuds like.
Food: Fried pickles. Breaded, original hot, extra wet.
Runner up flavor is «Daytona.» Yum-​o. It is always good.
Service: they are nice here! Never felt rushed. Go for it.

I’ve never had the best service at this Hooters, but the food is so good. I never minded when I was seated away from all the TVs and ignored as long as I got my fried pickles and flappers. But the last couple times I’ve been to this location, the chicken has been different! Service has been better, but the chicken flappers are almost half the size they used to be.
So, hey, you can stick me and my friends in that weird overflow room and only refill our drinks twice an hour, just as long as you stop goofing around and make your wings the way you used to.

We have been frequenting Hooters at various locations in NC for some time now. We have always loved Hooters, but sad to say not anymore. They have seriously messed up what was a perfect wing. We went to the Winston Salem location last weekend and ordered wings to go. We got them home and they were extremely dry so we figured maybe it was a one-​time deal where possibly the cook left them in the fryer too long. We did not bother to call back and complain because we figured every restaurant can be off of their game so-​to-​speak once in a while. We got more wings to go tonight from the same location. When I placed the order I asked the girl who answered the phone if they had changed their recipe and told her of the previous dissatisfaction with the wings. She informed me they were now using a new food distributor and the wings are bigger than before, but that they should have the same great taste. She said she would ask the cook to fry them only the minimum time required. We got the wings home tonight and noticed they are definitely bigger, but what good are bigger wings if the flavor is not as good. Anyways, the wings were as dry if not drier than last weekend. Just wanted to post our opinion in hopes that the right person with Hooters corporate offices might see this post and reconsider their decision to mess with perfection. We will also call the local restaurant and let them know. Although the service was exceptional, without great food to go with it, we will find somewhere else to get our wings.

Great food. Good looks do not = good service. Today the service was pathetic. Our server maybe came to our table 5 times total and spent the rest of her time at the bar, the t-​shirt area and the table behind me. She applied cash to our bill before using a gift card. Does anyone want less than $ 10 on a gift card to carry around instead of change? That is just common sense. I will keep the service in mind when I want wings. Buffalo Wild Wings just got a new long time customer.

Hooters has totally changed their wing recipe or something. I’ve tried 3 – 4 different locations over the last 4 – 5 months and always the same. Wings are not crispy, sometimes not even covered in sauce, and they have some new oil they sit in on their plate. Just flat out not good.
This is coming from a guy who used to frequent Hooters weekly! Even just getting wings and eating like fried chicken without the sauce used to be greatness.
Anyway, everyone was polite and professional at this location, so this isn’t a slam on them. Bartender Jessica was really great but also swamped. Computer system went down and she still kept her cool.
So, I hate to say it, but I think this was the last time. I can go to 100 places for drinks, but want to come here for the wings. Fool me once shame on you, fool me 26 times shame on me!

This hooters is not that great. Went in with my boyfriend we ordered our food. I got wings and he got a chicken sandwich and they were both undercooked and the waitress was extremely inappropriate when she gave him her phone number on a napkin. I definitely would not go back ever again. Worst hooters I’ve ever been to.

The food and service has improved immensely since the remodel. The one BIG issue is the dumb ass smokers that can’t read the NO SMOKING signs outside the entry door under the patio roof. So you get a nice big whiff of smoke before you go in. Mammon yum ! Fix this and it’s. 4 or 5 stars. WTF???

Tori at this location, along with the gorgeous Mikala, are the most customer friendly waitresses i have ever encountered. Been going to Hooters since i was a kid and this service was by far the most outstanding i’ve ever received. my life doesnt suck anymore…

Excellent service provided by Gi! Best wings and fries pickles! Yummy!
We love this location!!! Close by and always have the best!

I went to this hooters location a while back and had a horrible experience. I ordered the steamed shrimp and my boyfriend got the wings. I was almost finished with my food and then of course there was a cricket wrapped in shrimp skin. So obviously it had to have been in that steamer for a while to acquire all the shrimp skin around it. DISGUSTING! So I told the server and she got the manager. All he did was say eww I don’t know what that is are you sure you don’t want another one? Uhh hell no I don’t want another. He walked off laughing. After that our server proceeded to tell us how lazy and dirty the cooks were. And then pow there goes eating the wings, I’m surprised I didn’t throw up. So long story short this place is disgusting!

I’ve been to this location a couple of times because 1) my boyfriend and I love wings 2) he loves watching sports 3) we grab a few drinks after my night classes or on weekends.
Their wings aren’t my favorite, but my boyfriend loves their breaded wings. I know wings aren’t healthy to begin with, but I feel more guilty when I eat them haha.
Their wings are HUGE! So you don’t feel like you are getting jipped. However, they use different type of wings from other places… I guess you can say they have more bones or have more smaller bones? I can’t tear it up as easily, and I guess that’s a good thing? =P Btw, I have a talent when it comes to eating chicken… I leave no meat behind. Almost everyone who eats chicken with me comments on how I leave nothing behind hahaha. But here, I feel like I have to try too hard to eat everything, and often leave behind more than I usually do. Sorry, A.D.D…back to the topic.
Their flavors are alright, nothing special, but it’s still tasty. I don’t think their «spicy» wings are spicy enough compared to other wing joints. I guess they are playing it safe? If you have a high tolerance for spicy stuff, their hot wing will not be spicy for you.
However, It always came out hot and fresh, which is a plus.
I rarely went to Hooters before I moved to Denton, because I was just not impressed with any of the locations I’ve been to. However, I love this location! Even when it’s super busy, you get great service and is relatively fast. And it’s super clean, compared to most locations I’ve been to. Oh and of course, they have great drink specials and girls wearing very skimpy clothing… I mean who doesn’t like that, right? ;)
On Superbowl Sunday, we wanted to order wings last minute since we changed plans last minute around 4:30, aand decided to watch it from my place. I know, not the best idea for a huge national event.
We turned to Wingstop initially, and were turned away from WIng Stop very very rudely. They picked up and hung up the phone when we called. My boyfriend has witnessed this in the store when he went to pick up the wings also. When we stopped by, they would not even take our order saying they wouldn’t be able to have the wings ready until 3 hours later, and looked at us like we were dumb. Damn, I don’t know why some people have to be so rude and mean sometimes.
With a broken spirit (at least I was haha), we drove by Hooters with no hope, but surprisingly, they were more than happy and willing to take our order! And the food came out in less than 30 minutes. SUPER DUPER! I was worried that the food wouldn’t taste as good that day because they are rushed, but they were still the same.
Oh FYI, our obese side came out, and we ordered WAY too much! 30 breaded wings with sides for two… we forgot to get the non-​breaded so they were even more filling. We didn’t finish them all in one day, but having everything spread out on my table made the obese girl inside of me dance with joy.
Thumbs up to them for consistently great service and quality!

This is a regular stop for me. Are the wings great? Nah. But I drop in on Tuesday with my hubby and 2 boys. On Tuesday, kids eat free (and they have a pretty decent grilled cheese sandwich) while mommy and daddy get to enjoy the special on the «big daddy» size draft and eat wings. The kids are usually entertained enough that we get to actually have an uninterrupted conversation.
In summary:
Food: eh. Not bad, but there are better wings out there.
Service: Decent. I’ve never had bad service here.
«Scenery»: Depends on the day. Usually good.
Family friendly: Counter intuitively, yes. Not bad enough the kids have to stay home, but just bad enough to make mommy feel like a normal adult.

9 of 13 stops in Dallas today!
Foolish tour continues; do not be upset by my review of 12 different Hooters today!
Our ninth stop was to Hooters of Denton. Yikes our phone GPS actual works!
We stopped but did not eat; we took pictures and continued on our way.
We like this restaurant it was bright and lunch hour was over so it was not as crowded as earlier today.
The girls were very friendly and gladly posed for pictures. I like our pictures!
Back to the Batmobile, onward foolish boys!
Would I go back? Yes next time we need passport stamps!
