| - What can I say, Hooters is Hooters. No one comes here because it's classy. The simple wooden paneling that adorns their restaurants cries easy going, the taps make it evident that they are a bar, and the waitresses' uniforms are intended for the wandering eye to catch, with bright orange and white being the primary colors. You've been to one, you can count on a similar situation at another.
Service: I went in around 9:00 pm on a Saturday night. It was my pre-game. I came for the wings. A friendly hostess asked me if I wanted a table or a booth. As the bar was open, I took a seat there (When flying solo, I usually choose the bar, no use in taking a whole table for one person).
Within five minutes of sitting I was greeted by a cheery bartender who took my order, and then informed me the other bartender would be taking care of me as she was leaving. Pleasant enough. Except that the other bartender didn't acknowledge me for about 10 minutes. I was hungry, and had set the menu down, and she walked by me three times. I tried to catch her attention a couple times and then finally flagged her down.
There was a regular there, who definitely got great service, but for us mere mortals who show up on occasion, not so much.
Food: The wings are tasty. Standard fare as far as what one would expect for wings, never poorly done. After I was able to place my order, the wings showed up fairly quickly. I also enjoy their buffalo chicken sandwich, and the hamburgers are good as well. Food is not the issue at any Hooters I've ever been to. It's your commercialized super standard fare. If you have tried one, you have tried them all. If it's off, there are greater issues at the restaurant.
Overall: Why the 3 stars? The food is always good, but I have shown up to this location on a few occasions and each time the service is from poor to okay. The girls always have a smile for you, but the attentiveness is questionable. I think for that reason alone, I find myself coming here maybe once in a blue moon.
