I'm reviewing the Hooters restaurant/bar that's in the casino. (Not reviewing the hotel or casino itself)
Hooters is extremely close and convenient for when I get off of work around midnight. My friend and I went there for some cheap prime rib, assuming the Mad Onion was still open. Unfortunately, even though it was Friday night, the Mad Onion was closed. The only thing open that served food was the Hooters bar and restaurant so we dragged our feet there, expecting the worst.
Usually when I go to the 'open all night' restaurants in the casinos, either the food or service is terrible, and I just assume it's because of the late hour and the servers and kitchen staff have already mentally checked out.
We were actually pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich with teriyaki sauce and fries and my friend got a cheesesteak sandwich. I can't convey enough how much this wasn't your typical late night food. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. My friend said it was one of the best cheesesteaks he has ever had.
The service was even better. Given the hour and locale, we just expected sub par service. Our server, Karissa, was pleasant, enthusiastic and very helpful. (She obviously loves her job. Getting served by someone who hates their life is never fun.) She checked on us regularly and made our Hooters experience that much more enjoyable. Someone get that girl a raise.
I'm happy to say that I found a new post-work eatery and will definitely be back.
