| - I was in Hooters today with some coworkers for a quick lunch. I had never been to a hooters before but it pretty much was what I expected. When i phoned to make reservations I was asked if it was a special occasion. I told them that one of our coworkers was having a birthday. The manager said "ill get the girls to put up some balloons".
Anyhow, we arrived and were seated at our balloon table, we had a few extra people and they kindly added an extra table..
Our waitress was pleasant, and she was great, sweet, friendly and without question, beautiful.
The menu screams Mancave buffet...all things greasy, fatty and decadent. There is a time and place for this kind of food, and the time is now, the place is Hooters. I got a Caesar salad minus the chicken and it was tasty but highly forgettable. My coworkers got wings, burgers , chicken burgers etc, and all commented on how tasty the food was, a guilty pleasure.
We arrived at 1130 and we didnt have food on our table till 1230. Granted, there were 12 of us, but there were people who arrived long after us who were eating long before us.
When it came time to settle my bill, the bill was $14.15, I gave her a 20 and asked for change. The change I got back was a five dollar bill and 85 cents...without any smaller bills I had to give her a fiver...I didnt really mind as the waitress was nice, but the wait for food was not good, and it kind of ticked me that I had no choice but to tip generously or not at all.
I would likely go here again, when I want some greasy good food.... I will say that the general tone of this place lent itself well to some raunchy uninhibited conversation which ran the gauntlet from fetishes to stories of ex bf's and gf's. All in all, the experience was fun, the wait for food too long, but I would give them another shot in fhe future. One last thing, I asked our waitress if men ever treated the girls here badly and she said "sometimes yah". The feeling I got was that the girls who work there are fully aware that to some degree their looks are exploited, but also smart enough to use them to thier advantage while they can. To that I say, good for them. This kind of hiring exists everywhere whether its a good looking male waiter or an attractive woman, hooters just doesn't hide, nor make apologies for it.
