OK, it’s Hooters. So I went hear with my 2 sons. They both had plain bone-in wings with curly fries. It was essentially plain find chicken wings and we’re actually pretty good. Fried to a perfect crisp in fact. And the curly fries were on point. I love French fries and the curly fries here were a 6.5 out of 10. I had the traditional breaded wings with hot buffalo sauce. Or shall I say… not so hot. I think the Scoville scale use to measure is different from the rest of us. The«hot» sauce here is more like mild, not even medium. I like some kick, not hot enough to make me sweat bullets, but heat is nice. These fell short. Also, after about, 5 wings, I was all set. The wings here are just OK. The servers were very friendly especially to my kids. That’s important to me. There were a ton of televisions in which to watch numerous sporting events. MMA was on. We watched as we are fans. All in all, I will come back here, but its only a once-twice a year type of place.

Not impressed about this one at all!!! The waitress was terrible!!! She took forever to take our order then… My husband asked her three times for water with lemon… our son hamburger was undercooked and the curly fries some were raw!!! She never clean the table off and then when she gave us the check she had food all over her hands !!! I will never eat there again

Just nothing special about it anymore. Wings were fatty, they took over 45 minutes for 20 wings and some fries when we were one of maybe 5 tables. I think the waitress put something in my drink(she was holding it up in the air against a light and was stirring it while looking at it), I never do that to my own glass of water. Kitchen was gross. Looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned in forever… please see the pic I posted of their actual kitchen that yesterday. When after waiting for a half hour for our food only to have a manager come and tell us «sorry it’s taking so long the cook dropped the wrong wings» which my reply was«we ordered chicken wings and I didn’t see any other animal wings on the menu». Then we proceeded to wait another 20 minutes or so the whole time watching everyone that came after us receive their food. Gotta say this place is a joke. Never even offered a discount, a coupon for a future visit, nothing. Just wasted about 45 minutes of my life all to be disappointed by the wings. Would have to say I will probably check the kitchen before eating here if I ever eat here again.

Had the boneless. Disgusting. The chicken had a crabby smell to it and the consistency was rubbery. I ate it because I was hungry. When I got home I puked. No wonder why the last time I went there was 2 years ago… never again

Yeah I get it you come here for the hot girls but just remember you’re here for the food to. Pretty sure they use the girls as a Décor to distract you from the food. The food here is overpriced and the wings are just breading which makes you full faster and it’s not like you’re eating the chicken you’re just eating the breading on it. I can’t stand dreading if you want wings without it just try going to Bidwell Tavern or Buffalo wild wings because they have the best things around. I mean you can come here to have fun with your friends and drink beer drooling over the girls bodies but I wouldn’t come there for food

I hadn’t been to a Hooters in several years, but a friend of mine wanted to go. My friend ordered the boneless«wings» and I had a burger. We stood around for a while wondering whether we were going to be seated, there were three waitresses on duty and none of them came to greet despite the place being sparsely populated. We were both hungry, so we decided to sit at the bar. The service for the rest of the night was so-so. There was a $ 3 off the boneless wings deal, which is what compelled my friend to order it and it was terrible. They were the size of small chicken nuggets and the sauces were bland. The burger was alright, but it wasn’t something I would come back for, I can get a better burger at the nearby burger places like Red Robin. The french fries that came with both meals were lackluster and were like store-brand frozen. It was over-priced, outdated, and sub-par all around. I don’t plan on ever going back.

Fish sandwich was a mess out of the gate. A few bites in and it was completely demolished to the point of needing a fork to finish. Service was passable but not overly welcoming, which was surprising.

Love this place! They have over 18 flavors to choose from for your wings. I had habanero BBQ– it was the perfect blend of BBQ and spicy!(I also asked for extra crispy– they were perfect.) I know most people go for the wings but my friend had the Western BBQ burger and said it was phenomenal! Can’t wait to go back and try one myself. The manager on duty was very pleasant. She came by to check on us and told us about all of the upcoming football promotions. They’ll be giving away NFL tickets on Thursdays, which are also All You Can Eat Nights. Def returning!

I love this restaurant! I go for all of their events(football, ufc, etc). All the girls are great. Sometimes they can be a little stand offish the first few times you go. Can you blame them with some of the weirdos that hit on them sometimes? The wings are fresh and juicy. Nothing like that frozen dried out crap at Buffalo Wild Wings. But personally my favorite is the Texas Burger Melt(a juicy burger with cheddar cheese, bacon and sauteed onions with daytona sauce). I’m drooling at the thought of it right now. Managers are great here! They have all been with the company for 2 yrs+ which consistsncy is great. I compliment them on how they have really turned the restaurant around. Two thumbs up from me!

I take back all the good things I said; they have a new manager and she is HORRIBLE. Wife says we’re never going back again. Call me «crazy,» but I like my steaks rare and wings crispy. I have been eating wings for 40 years(Buffalo native) and when Hooter’s gets it right, other than the ones I make at home, they are my favorite. Last night, not only couldn’t they get the wings cooked as I very specifically requested(accompanied by a warning that I would send them back if not crispy), but the manager had to give me a heap of attitude. I know from experience that it takes a good half an hour to cook the wings the way I like them, so we always wait 15 min. or so before placing my wife’s order or she will be eating alone. I am convinced the waitress placed the order carefully and correctly, yet the first batch came out underdone and went back. I checked the time(8:45). Wifey eats alone and the night is going downhill. Manager brought my drink, not to ask if everything was alright, but just to get a look at the guy who sent the wings back. Second batch arrives at 9:05 out more underdone than the first! The skin was as mushy as the day those chickens were plucked. Now the manager comes over and she’s spoiling for a fight. She insists they are crispy(not even close), then tells me that they’re supposed to be juicy inside and if they cooked them like I asked, they wouldn’t be. Then she got downright insolent and asked, «Well, have they EVER been cooked the way you want?» She tried to tell me that the sauce makes them soggy, demonstrating a profound lack of understanding of chicken skin, especially coming from a wing place employee. Then she proceeded to tell a string of lies about how long they had been cooked. It was like being at an auction; she went from«around 30 minutes» to «at least 35 minutes» to «45 minutes.» It was definitely less than 20, as the waitress had to take the first ones back and then place the order, but at that point it was not worth debating. I know that complaining about a big chain that has pretty much the same level of mediocrity in hundreds of locations is a bit like saying one didn’t care for the way one’s Big Mac was prepared, but current management in the Manchester Hooter’s has taken customer service to a new low.

Service from Andrea was awesome!!! Curious what it takes to become a Hooters manager though, the girl was sitting down on her phone the entire time we were there. Wouldn’t mind a job where I can get paid to be lazy and on my phone.

I haven’t been to a Hooters in a few years this was my first time at this particular location. The parking was a little challenging it appears the restaurant’s capacity is much larger than the parking lot capacity maybe it’s a green thing and their promoting car pooling anyway once inside it is extremely well lit very bright(there goes the green theory). They were very busy so the service wasn’t that great when approached be ready with your entire order it may be awhile before the server returns. Started out with a dozen oysters they were extremely small and had a fishy taste we tried several but decided against chancing getting sick from oysters close to turning bad. We commented to the server they seem to be suspect so a manager came over he told us he was allergic to oyster and if he ate one he could die(TMI) he wasn’t much help and offered nothing except the fact that the General Manager opened them and said he thought they were okay. We both ordered wings I ordered 10 Naked Daytona Beach Wings just drummies for a dollars more they were very small and the ends were all broken off they were just okay my friend order breaded wings with the sauce on the side it came out with the silverware 10 minutes after the food arrived. Pro — The celery and ranch dressing is good and the Ten Penny Ale The atmosphere is louder since it’s a younger crowd drinking big beers if that’s what your looking for this may work for you not my thing don’t think I will return.

This place probably deserves a 3.5 star rating, but I’ll bump it up because why the hell not. This was my first time at Hooters(I’ve always been curious, but was never with people who wanted to go), but my friend and I were game, and let me say… it was an experience. Imagine two Asian girls sitting amidst a sea of men and you’ll understand how out of place we felt. Aside from that though, it was fun in a «I can’t believe we’re doing this» way. I got an order of 10 wings and my friend got the Unlimited Wings special. Unless you’re going to eat more than 10 wings or really want leftovers, the 10-wing order is probably a better deal, as it’s a couple of dollars cheaper. As for the wings, they were great! They were pretty heavily breaded, so if you’re not into that, this may not be the place to go. I, however, love breaded wings, so these were right up my alley. They were crispy and hot when they got to our table and the wings were larger than what you get at wing places on campus(though that may have been due to the breading). The sauces were hit-or-miss. The Samurai(kind of like a teriyaki) and the Honey Chili something or other were both great. The Garlic Parmesan though was a mess. We were expecting a dry rub like at other places, but instead it was some weird oily sauce that tasted like old garlic and no Parmesan whatsoever. I would skip that flavor. I wish the wings came with celery or carrots on their own, since my conscience is not okay with me putting down a basket full of wings with no greenery at all. Let’s face it though – if you’re a guy at Hooters, you’re not there for the food. I’ll just say that a lot of the girls were cute, fun, and despite being a straight female, I found myself checking them out as they wandered past in their ridiculous getup. Our own waitress was very pretty and extremely nice. We figured she was probably relieved that she wasn’t going to get hit on by us. Would I recommend coming to Hooters? Yes, it’s fun in a campy kind of way. If you’re a girl, come in with an open mind and you’ll have a good time and have some good wings. If you’re a guy… your mind is probably already made up. My only warning is that the guy to girl ratio is severely stacked in favor of guys here(like maybe 10 waitresses serving a couple of hundred guys)…so if you’re in college and you just want some scantily clad eye candy, a frat party might be a better bet.

Dropped in here for a boys night out with a co-worker and his son. As Evan G. typed a couple of years ago, this is a Hooters, so you know what to expect. It’s a busy joint on the outskirts of the Buckland Hills shopping area, and it’s quite the gathering spot for football on Sundays. We were there to take my pal’s son to watch the WWE wrestling show. Good wings, never an empty glass when one orders a soda. Our waitress, Sara, was a nice girl who was attentive, smiled readily and seemed to at least not hate her job. I’ll go for the next boys night out with my co-worker. But that’s really the only reason I go here. It’s not fine dining… but Hooters makes a mean wing.

I haven’t been to a Hooters in over 5 years and we decided to go on a whim on a Saturday afternoon. Pros: This Hooters was clean, lots of TV so no matter where you sat you could see 4 – 5TV’s. Waitresses were attentive and friendly. Parking was plenty and easy. Cons: Food was just OK but nothing special. We ordered chicken strips, hamburger, and dozen oysters, and 2 drinks each. With tip the bill came to $ 75 — ouch! For that price we could have gone to a nicer restaurant. The«views» were nothing special, sure some were cute, but not gorgeous — maybe my memories of Hooters was influenced by the«urban myths», water cooler talk, and marketing of this chain. Probably wont go back for another 5 years.
