I had never visited a Hooters until about 4 years ago. Mainly I hadn't been in one because I was turned off by the whole concept of the establishment. I have to give it props however, because this is the place where I tried my very first fried pickle.
Their fried pickles are chip cut. I like to get mine extra crispy (meaning they double fry/ batter them). This was actually suggested to me by one of the waitresses that served me at this location. They also get props because they serve their fried pickles with a fabulous sauce. It's a delicious zesty ranch sauce and I hear supposedly it is just hooters hot sauce and ranch dressing. The ultimate bonus comes in when you hit them up for Happy Hour; then it's only $2.50 for a whole order of them!
Overall, I feel as though Hooters is a-ok now. Maybe because they allowed me to discover one of my true loves.
In all honesty though, I like this location on a Sunday afternoon outside on the balcony overlooking Mill Ave. Throw back a beer, people watch and stare at the pigeons that often visit (including ones with only 2 toes).
