Hooters

Stopped by for a quick drink during a 007 mission with my brother. Had a dark beer, as I don’t discriminate. Friendly staff and typical bar atmosphere. I am not giving it 5 stars as I did not see any owls there. I am not sure if they are hidden behind a special door or drape, but we looked and not one was spotted.
Plenty of parking (even for zoo keepers) as this joint as its on a large plaza. Things are what they are, you get what you deserve.

This poor girl at the bar has no help, no bar back, I’ve been here 4 times since I’ve been back in town. New owner, has made cuts. How is anyone supposed to make $ behind a bar, if they have no bar back? Very sad. I can’t even speak to the bartender for more than 18 seconds before she leaves. NOT her fault. This place is run terribly by ownership

Wow the food here sucks. All we ordered was chicken wings. I got the second hottest boneless wings and the wife got the bone in Buffalo wings. Both were pretty terrible. Mine were poorly tossed with not enough sauce on them. Plus, they were dry and grainy, like if they were coated with dry flour. My wife’s wings were pretty lame too. They weren’t meaty and also needed more sauce.
I’ve had food from other Hooters locations and they were pretty good, never outstanding, but good. This location should be avoided if you’re hungry for decent food.

Omg, where do I start or end!
Bad service, cold food… Watched wings sit for 10+ minutes before they were dumped on our table! Happy Hour, are you kidding me… The $ 4.00 beer is long gone, and so am I!

I’m not sure what the problem is with this place but, perhaps they plan to close this location soon as it continues to just go downhill. I’m walked in at 11pm and there wasn’t anyone to great me so, I just went to the bar. There I sat for a good 5 – 10 minutes before the bartender (who was busy talking to these three gentlemen) finally noticed I had sat at the bar. I order something off the Under $ 10 menu only to be told they didn’t know how to cook it. Anyways, the food was cold, the service was slow and the place was dead… which is why I guess I was given my check at 12:15 (though I thought the closed at 1am) and was told they were closing.
Next time, I’ll just to go TGI Fridays.

I reluctantly went with a group of friends to watch a game the other day. This kind of place is not my thing and I still find it odd that Thousand Oaks would allow this kind of restaurant here in town.
The food is awful and the prices for beer are almost criminal. I get it, you’re there for the girls to get your creep on. What blows me away is that people bring their children here. Seriously. If you bring your five year old to a Hooters, you have FAILED as a parent. I can’t believe this place is still in business but based on the other reviews and how crappy and slow our service was, I don’t see them staying open much longer.
And let me reiterate this; if you bring your children to this restaurant you really need to come to terms with what kind of horrible parent you are…

Not sure why it always takes forever to get your food when it’s almost always dead in there (unless there’s a big game). Staff vanishes for extended period of time. Beer is pretty over priced in comparison with other local sports bars.

Came here, ate, left. A few days later our credit card was charged again for the same transaction. We call the manager and he says all card charges that day were charged twice because the system went down. The manager said someone would call us back and they never did. Now I finally get a hold of the manager who is in charge of the refunds and he said he needs me to prove the double charges in person and file a report so that the company can reimburse me. I AINT GOT TIME FOR THAT!

The only good thing about this location is Jordyn. Not only is she beautiful and funny but also a hard worker. She was the only server working at the time with 8 tables. Did a great job! Someone needs a raise.

There are a lot of negative reviews on this Hooters. Based on other Hooters I’ve been to this is clean and «classy»…remember we’re talking about Hooters, not a high end restaurant. The staff has always been welcoming and friendly. They have a good variety of beers to choose from especially compared to other Hooters. The Hooter girls actually know what’s on tap which is impressive to me because all of the other Hooters I’ve been to they don’t know what «tap beer» means. My husband loves their wings, he always gets them traditional and hot. We always go when we are in the area.

This is a 3-​star establishment– at least the Thousand Oaks location is.
This place has steeply gone downhill since opening a couple years ago. It now has a full bar, which is great, but the happy hour is not the same. You used to be able to get a tall 22 oz. beer (any kind!) for $ 4 – 5, including the premiums, IPAs, etc. Now it’s practically double DURING happy hour. The workers are usually nice, though for ulterior motives (*cough* tips *cough*). Some workers and managers are just flat out rude though.
The good: large beer selection, lots of large flatscreen HD TVs, good place to watch games, and they have a giant Jenga game.
Being one of only a handful of places to go out and party in TO, I will be back.

I have been to this location just a couple of times… I do a LOT of traveling around the country and like to go to hooters when traveling. But I have to say… this is one of the bad ones. Came in recently to watch a UFC fight, which I have done at other hooters around the country, but this particular site takes the cake.
The service was horrible, took anywhere from 30 – 45 minutes just for the waitress to come to our table, and another 30 minutes to get my drink, (was like that all night long). And don’t get me started on the bathrooms, there was a huge mess all over the floor, I mean… come on, check them when you are busy like this.
The bar, from what the waitress told us was backed up cause one of the bartenders didn’t show up, but the manager, instead of stepping up to man the bar, that was short staffed, he was at the front doing the job of a hostess.
I do come to this area a lot. But you wont catch me here ever again.

So amazing! The BYOB is simply divine! We come here for lunch once in a while, we definitely need to come mire often ! The manager Chad is just awesome! Can’t wait until next time,!!

I have been a long time supporter of this restaurant chain, here in Thousand Oaks. I’ve spent a lot of money here as well. The reason I go here is because it is one of the few «sports bars» that provide access to all the types of sports I enjoy watching. That said the scenery isn’t bad and the food is above average if you know what you want or what you like.
My complaints are this. How can the girls or managers working at a sports bar, not know what packages they offer? I understand not knowing what channel a specific game is on but at least familiarize yourself with your offerings, for example it would be helpful if you knew if you carried NFL Sunday Ticket, MLB Extra Innings, NBA GameTime or ESPN Full Court. My point is these are not obscure sports. Know the business and industry you work in, or don’t, just get another job please.
Next, customers have an expectation. If I can go on and Google the Hooters Menu and the official Hooters menu says a certain item is available to order, it should in fact be on the menu and unless that specific store has run out of that item then there is ZERO excuse for not having that particular food item available for order. Stop changing your menu jest because you feel like it. I’ve ordered the same lunch item for 5+ years from various Hooters locations, I should be able to continue to do so if said item is on the official Hooters menu. I’m frustrated because I love the atmosphere, the sports and in general the management.
Take the time to learn the DirectTV packages and stop changing your menu.

Nachos and beer? On point. Service? Completely opposite.
We got there on a Sunday just shorting after the morning games were starting and I asked the hostess if we could sit at the bar. We couldn’t find a spot for the two of us with a view of our preferred game so we sat a table in the bar. I immediately went to the hostess stand to ask if this was ok, as I did not want to mess up the seating arrangements with the servers sections. After the hostess said this was fine it took about ten minutes for our server to arrive and take our order.
I ordered a beer off the Sunday specials menu — she then came back and said the keg was out but would I like something as a replacement? I ordered a similar beer and figured cool, she’s going to give me the same Sunday deal price for it.
Fast forward an hour later — our food has been cleared, the game is over. We have said we are fine and don’t need anything else when she approached us 4 different times. I finally asked a different server for our check (in hindsight I guess I should have been more obvious with our server) and when she arrived with it I was dumb enough to hand her my card without looking at the bill. She had charged me for the original beer I ordered as well as the second one at full price. Now I don’t mind paying that full price for the beer, but I would have liked to have been informed that since the restaurant was the one out of the beer I ordered at a lesser price.
The big consolation for all of this was the nachos were delicious and a generous portion for the two of us, and the beer was ice cold — when I finished my «man size» it was still cold at the bottom — win!!!

Based upon the other reviews of this location one thing is apparent… No one from Hooters is reading them. Stopped by on Sunday and we were escorted to booths near the window but the sun was beating down and there were no window coverings. (Brackets for same but the actual coverings had been removed). We had to move ourselves to another table and watched as everyone else who was seated in this area complained.
About 7 – 10 minutes later no one had come by to offer drinks etc. Place seemed to be woefully understaffed yet the staff seemed to be operating at one speed — SLOW. On more than one occasion I say servers walking around trying to figure out where food needed to be delivered. Finally someone stopped by (after we asked) to take our order.
In the meantime I used the restroom which looked the way you’d expect around closing time on a Friday night but it was Sunday around 12:00. Urine on the floor water all over the sink area etc…
I asked for a kids menu but was told ‘I’ll have to check but I think we’re out’ I counted only 4 servers, one bartender and one busboy. There was one hostess who should have been reassigned to serve people who were already here opposed to just standing there waiting for others to arrive. The staff as a group seems like the place just opened and I saw no evidence of a manager at all
We were seated at 1:15 and as of 1:50 still no food (one salad, one order of wings and one kids meal). Food arrived without the dressing for the salad and my wings were cold so I’ll send them back if someone ever stops by to check in on us. I didn’t ask them to remake them because I had no confidence that they could remake them in any reasonable amount of time. (If I send food back 4 times a YEAR it’s a lot).
I’ve eaten here twice before with none of the aforementioned issues but I’ll think twice before I return.

So far, so not good. Juke box is on the fritz (volume going up and down whenever it feels like it.) The sole server is trying to handle the place by herself with what appears to be a bartender in training or an emergency stand in. The manager has made one appearance but other than that is either helping the cook or hiding out in the back doing paperwork. As I sit here it’s only getting busier and I feel this uncomfortable push to get out of here before the poop really hits the fan. Good news is I just saw the manager helping the cook so at least that mystery has been solved. Listening to them on the phone it sounds like someone decided just not to show up (and you would think a Hooter’s girl would be so much more responsible.) I just stopped in to kill 45 minutes and watch a little college football. I have to say the TV situation is on point and the fried pickles I ordered were out in no time. I sat at the bar but decided to go with a Diet Pepsi, which I realized afterward, cost $ 3.50 (might as well had a beer.) Now it’s not fair to judge a place by one day but as a business owner you have to realize sometimes one day (or lunch… or dinner) is all you get to convince a customer to come again. By the looks of the other reviews, experiences like this occur far too often. On the way out I discovered my server was actually called in early to help, which she did (very responsibly «jerk,»…yes that was for me… lol.) Pulling out of the parking lot I saw another girl rushing in the back so hopefully things got better. Because I’m addicted to buffalo shrimp I’ll definitely give this place another shot but my fingers will be crossed for sure.
Try it or Diet Final Word
Try it… but be prepared

Wild downgrade due to lack of expertise in the area of beer not only their bartender but Clara who is the most knowledgeable. I asked a question regarding a beer which I am wildly impressed by (fireman a Brew-​brunette) killer beer. After I asked the question I sat in my chair for Xxx minutes. The xxx represent the time which transpired prior to me being asked what I wanted to drink. Rob is the manager and he said he gave the bartender Clara all of info I had asked for. She never delivered the info to me. Rob was disappointed and told me so. Then I left. No sale!
XXX= 20 min.

This location is pretty «Meh». LA and Vegas locations are way more fun, and with all the competition I’d say the girls are a little more…“hootery?” Haha. To put it mildly this location was pretty boring…
Not much of a wait on a Tuesday night. Place was loud but honestly not very crowded. Being a mixed group of girls and guys we were pushed to the back of the restaurant…
Service: biggest miss 2 stars. When I come to a place like hooters I’m expecting a fun, lively attractive waitress, the girl we had not so much, it wasn’t even really her looks or lack there of, it was more of her dgaf attitude like she was forced to be there. Took our order never saw her again until the food came out, then she was MIA until we wanted the check then go figure she was on top of it giving that friendly attitude at the end to higher her tip as If we hadn’t just dealt with her ignoring us for the past 30 minutes.
Food: 3.5 stars.
Again pretty boring. The boneless wings are meh, I’ve had better at BWW or little hole in the wall joints. Again it’s not bad wings just doesn’t seem worth almost $ 10 for a small basket.
I think this location really just doesn’t do it for me. Hooters has been overrated for awhile now but if I’m ever in the mood I’ll make sure to stop back in to an LA location.

I have been all around the US at Hooters locations: Dallas, Baltimore, Nashville, Hollywood to name a few — all great — this one, not so much. TV’s all around, but it’s small and loud, and the food is fair.
Service by the girls is the one outstanding thing. From the moment I walked in, I felt very welcomed. To top it off, my server was the cutest of them all. She was efficient, competent, nice body, and buxom — just the way all Hooters girls should be! I know, shoot me.
Happy hour 10p-​closing? Yawn, I’m in bed snoring.
