Hooters

Service was friendly
Food was subpar: their wings weren’t as great as they were on television, the nachos weren’t that good (movie nachos are better).
The waitress showed a lot of cheekage, which may or may not be good.

Here it is, my highly anticipated, very honest review of Hooters NYC.
Service is great. Food is fine. You’re all men,

The service was friendly. I got 10 boneless honey BBQ wings for takeout. It came out to $ 14.14 tax included… I was directed to a seating area and before long the wings were ready and the cashier actually brought them to me. I ate them while walking to my destination. It was 7pm and my first meal of the day. They were barely warm and they had way too much sauce. I would have preferred the bone in wings had I not been walking with white pants one. If I wasn’t so hungry I would have waited to reheat them in the microwave.
Can’t say I would recommend this place. But I have been to a different chain that tasted a lot better.

I visited this location with friends while visiting Manhattan. The restaurant was clean, the customer service was friendly, and the nachos I ordered were delicious. My only complaint is the waitress took a while to get to us. A family seated after us got served first. We had to personally ask someone to take our order. If I ever visit Manhattan again, I most likely will visit this location for a second time.

I wanted to like this, I really did. but Hooters on W 33^rd failed hard. I was never at the old location which this one replaced so I can’t compare, and in terms of décor and setup, it was nice. Almost everything else was not worth the hype. The only exception was my waitress Kari. She was attentive and all around did a good job. I ordered 5 hot and 5 medium wings. No heat on any of them, and the flavor lacked big time. Grease was prevalent on all of them. The bleu cheese was runny, and the celery sucked (I realize that’s not supposed to be the highlight of the wing game, but it would still be nice to have a nice cool and refreshing celery stick to polish the wings off. These weren’t it.). The price did not match the quality. Overall a huge disappointment.

Great place ! Me and my partner came here last night and the food was really good and the service was great ! Also my partner got to watch the game while he ate his meal which made him really happy. Awesome place would go again

I seen this restaurant featured in movies and sitcoms. I also visit a New Jersey location for a Giants game beers & wings. The 34^th street location is decent. The noise level was moderate. The food was ok. The shrimp were a little cold and too spicy. The buffalo chicken sandwich was amazing. The customer service was excellent. I also like the drinks. Even though they had liquor you hardly taste the alcohol. Overall if you around the area you check it out.

I’ve been here twice, and ONLY because of their Honey Thai Chili flavored wings (breaded, of course). The staff is young and it shows in the way they handle situations. For example, my first time here I ordered wings and fries. Fries arrive barely lukewarm. I notify one of the waitresses and the first thing she does it place the back of her hand on the fries to check the temperature. Who does that!!! She returns with another basket of fries and just stands there looking at me. Confused, I look up at her after chewing my chicken, and she says to me ‘I’m waiting for you to try the fries to see if they are hot enough.” Clearly this tells me these are not fresh fries, just nuked. The soggy consistency tells me I’m right.
My second visit went equally as bad. When my friend and I entered the hostess, who looked like she hated her job, very lazily (borderline rudely) told us we could sit at the bar since no tables were available. That’s fine. Ordered wings and loaded tots. Wings showed up with the wrong sauce. Waitress replaces them. Tator tots show up cold. They come back warm but really soggy. Tasted worse than school lunch.
Then, funny enough, I overhear the couple seated next to us at the bar return their fries for being cold. C’mon Hooters! It’s not hard to make fresh fries for customers! Nothing worse than cold fries! When the runner brings the food to the table the waitress/​bartender asks him ‘Are they hot?’ to which he replies, ‘Kinda.’ This is what I mean when I say the staff is young! As if that response wasn’t bad enough, the runner then puts his head down on on the bar (he’s standing between myself and the other patrons) and begins complaining about how he has to do so much running around. So unprofessional.
Get it together, Hooters. I love your wings but your staff needs more training, and about the side dishes– they should always be made fresh!

Great place. In order to appreciate greasy fried food I think you need to be american:)

Went last night after a Knicks game and had the worst service I have ever had in my life!
Server took over 15 mins to greet us and what seemed like over half an hour to deliver our drinks. Then brought the wrong food out, and forgot to bring out someone else’s order. I am a server and I could tell she wasn’t even busy, she didn’t even try to seem genuine when «apologizing». Still had the nerve to bring the check (with the missing food on it) emphasizing the 22% recommended gratuity. Also, brought one check when we tried to explain to her how we wanted it split when we initially put our order in. Total bitch ! She got no tip OBVIOUSLY and complained in front of us when she read it. Saying «waste of a night», she’s a waste of a hooters employee if you ask me beware of hooters girl Esmeralda or some other name that starts with an «E».

To say this place was disappointing is an understatement. My friend and I were heading to a workout class and we got there too late and they wouldn’t allow us in. Of course the next logical move was to go somewhere they served drinks and fried food.
We enter the restaurant and are greeted by the host. We tell her he just want to be at the bar. She suggests upstairs because it’s less crowded which it was. We take a seat at the bar and somewhat greeted by the bartender. We ask about the specials, there weren’t really any. We both ordered margaritas and asked for glasses of water.
We got the drinks and my friend ordered a platter of spicy shrimp. And again asked for the water. The bar wasn’t that busy so I wasn’t sure why she couldn’t remember. I mean we were sitting in front of her. After a third time we got our water. My friend asked for ranch to go with the shrimp. She was told it would an extra $ 1. Really $ 1. Well, the ranch never came.
I doubt I’ll be running back here anytime soon. The hooters weren’t great, food ok, begged for water, service bad. Ugh

Yikes. Just yikes.
We ask for a table of two. We got seated at a two table seat right by the door. There were a bunch of tables by the wall that we asked to take but the hostess said they were reserved for people who had a larger party. We decided to just sit at the bar to be more comfortable. Fine. But then about 6 parties of two were seated at the «larger party» tables. (See photo)
Ok still fine.
Ordered beers and two apps. Beers come, we order two burgers.
Waiting.
Our burgers come. We ask if our apps were coming? We take a bite out of the pickle with the burger only to realize those weren’t our burgers. We stopped the lady delivering food, apologized for biting the pickle saying we had actually ordered the bleu cheese burger. She took them back and brought us our apps. Loooooong hair in the fried pickles. Just some extra protein right? Burgers come. It’s the SAME burger but with bleu cheese melted on top of the cheddar. We could tell because she made sure which pickle we had each bitten went to the right person. By now our burgers were well done (ordered medium) and the buns they were on were almost rock solid.
$ 85 later a lot to be desired.
Do yourself a favor and skip this establishment.

The food was fairly good. I’ve been to hooters almost in every state I’ve went to. I go mostly because the girls are nice for conversations this particular hooters I stopped in for lunch downtown because I was at a training. But the food was pretty decent.

Okay place to drink. Nothing great. The food was typical bar food. The service was quick and friendly was you could still find better places to drink and eat in New York. Probably something more local and unique because chains are just… Well it just doesn’t capture a place’s specialty.

Muy normalito. Cerraba pronto para nuestras pretensiones y es un bar con más fama que calidad. Con la oferta que hay en nyc … no lo recomiendo!

Disgusting. I’ve only been to Hooters maybe 2 or 3 times in my life. Only reason we went here was because we were scrambling for a place before a hockey game this wknd.
I couldn’t care less about the wings. Good wings are easy to make anywhere. Sadly, this place has nothing better to offer. Their «classic» hamburger is touted as an all-​time favorite, blah blah blah. No, its’ not. It’s garbage. It’s a dry, tasteless pre-​made patty, which I’m guessing is likely Grade C or D beef. My wife and I both got the burgers and agreed they were no good. More than half of the stuff on the menu is easily over 1000 calories, so that’s also a no-​go. The place was a MESS. Granted, it was busy, but have SOMEONE spend time cleaning up the floors. It looked like the floor hadn’t been swept in a week. Food, papers, etc. all over the floors.
Never going back to this, or any other, Hooters until they get with the times and take a long, hard look at the crap they are serving.
Also, to my fellow straight men: stop hitting on the waitresses. They’re not going home with you. Ever. It’s actually pathetic watching you hitting on, and taking pictures with, them. Just… stop. The rest of us can see the looks on their faces when your arm is around them. They’re not excited.
And to Hooters: Pantyhose couldn’t be more 70s and gross. And enough of the girls with implants. Please.

Soooo it wasn’t a horrible experience but I’ve certainly had better. I had the cheese sticks, fries and a spicy chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was extra extra salty had to put a bunch of hot sauce on it then take it out of the bun because that was horrible too. The fries the one thing that actually was suppose to be salty was extra dry and tasted like cardboard sigh. The best thing by far were the cheese sticks. Drinks: long island ice tea top shelf– it was okay not super but not horrible either, purple hooter– stay away I repeat STAY AWAY it is soooo not worth it. It’s a small tease of grape juice smfh waste of money totally. Sorry Hooters I had high hopes… sigh

My second visit to this location was last week for lunch. The first was in October. Being that it recently opened, the inside has a new/​clean feel. The atmosphere is pleasant as are the servers. The food. mediocre at best. Let’s be honest, you don’t come here for cuisine. It’s a great spot for games and gatherings. They have a large selection of on tap beers which is a plus.

Yeah, as we all know that personal message will never arrive (it just looks nice; gives you the feeling they really care about you and the review). So until I get that personal message I will set the amount of stars even one lower. Earn it back Hooters by actually contacting me.

I kept thinking that all Hooters would have the same wings but I was kind of disappointed. The Hooters last night was far from the Hooters prepared from a NJ joint. I noticed that the wings were swimming in butter although still tasty, seems like it needs something else. The curly fries is warm and soggy. The salad is ok. The ambience is cool esp if you’re a sports fan like me. Would come back and check out other wing flavors and drinks. It deserves another chance.

Forget that the Mets were playing in the World Series. I have ordered the Buffalo Shrimp with medium sauce dozens of times at at least a dozen Hooters. Like the size of hotel rooms, these were unusually small and expensive and the sauce looked more like greasy fried food than sauce on fried food.
Expensive. Not very good. Not a location I want to return to. The old one on 56^th was much better all around.
UPDATE
Leah R asked me to give them another chance so I did. They go from 2 to 3 stars.
I guess since I was here last the shrimp had a chance to grow bigger because they were comparable to what I get at other locations. However, the sauce is still on the stingy side. Interesting that this time there was sauce on the paper in the basket and the bottom shrimp had it on them. The top shrimp were still scarcely clad in anything resembling medium sauce. My server Kayla was kind enough to bring me more sauce and that gave the rest the kick I was seeking.
They also still looked greasy.
I guess next time I will have to ask them to use extra sauce and toss them well to coat them.
Reasonable but not exceptional.

I’m very disgusted by the treatment my grandson received at your restaurant, in Manhattan. Not only was his birthday ruin, but it ruin the whole night. Your «ladies» came and dropped the cake on the table and walked away, are you kidding me!!! And the excuse was” you see some guys pretend it was their birthday ans they were kinda rude to the girls. I’m sorry what does that have to do with my 12 year birthday… My step grandson had a great birthday last month there, and my grandson wanted to celebrate his birthday there… So, I found that your «ladies were very unprofessional towards my grandson. My daughter recorded him and the the so call waitress dropped his cake on the table!!! I happen to know they work for tips there, if I was paying I would have found the manager and complained about the treat the «ladies gave my grandson.
This incident happened today ¹²⁄₆ around 2 by his so called waitress Danya…
Lorena Bracero-​Gonsalves– pissed off grandmother!

My best friend and I came here for pre-​Knicks-​game drinks and were served at the bar by the awesome and lovely Megan. She was polite and funny and friendly. We came back after the game like 3 hours later and she remembered us and our drinks. The place was lively and had a nice crowd; we had a great time here, mostly thanks to Megan!

Just terrible. Simply terrible. The service is just straight garbage here. The hostess has no clue on what’s available or reserved. A reservation nightmare. Two level establishment. Waitresses, bar tenders are slow. The people of Hooters who maybe Corporate should look into this. The difference between franchises are going to be the service and this is by far the worse I’ve been to in the country.
Grade: F

Heard the chocolate cake was phenomenal so I stopped in for a visit. Chocolate cake was fantastic! However, my server Tyler was one of the rudest servers I’ve come across in the city. No one came over to the table when my friends and I first sat down. When we finally did order we put dessert in first and wanted our entrees to come out second. 10 minutes later our dessert came out. Still no one had taken our drink orders, entrée orders, or even had given us any silverware. My friends were eating their cake with their fingers. Half way through Tyler comes back with forks and I asked her for the check. She then took the plates and forks back (meanwhile we’re still trying to finish our desserts). I asked her for the forks back and she gave me a smart remark while tossing the forks back on the table. When I asked to speak to the manager he was very nice. However, this does not make up for the rude servers they have working at their establishment. Go somewhere else to eat… We’re in New York City there our numerous other options! =]

Well Hooters… you failed.
So check this: my friends and I ALWAYS meet up for the NYCC. We have at least 20 people when we settle down for drinks at the end of the night. We decided to go to Hooters. When we got there, we were turned away because our party was too big and they didn’t have seating. NOT: «there is a waiting time of about 15 minutes» BUT: «we don’t have enough seating for your group»
We ended up heading to Blarney Rock down the street and spending about $ 1,000 between everyone on the food tab… this doesn’t count the amount of personal drinks we got while we waited for 15 minutes to be seated. Guess you missed out.

Went to Hooter’s for a change of pace from the regular places. Wanted the sports bar experience along with the beautiful women that work there. Well. First the food was what I expected bar food. The football was on all channels so that was not the problem. The one thing that bothered me was the amount of attention from the hooters girls. If you ordered enough it was great. If you did not well you would get ignored until you did. The sad part was that I was asked to leave because I did not order enough (I ordered 31. Worth of food by myself) So this hooters will be visited once 6 months. Or until their persona changes about loyal customers.

Owchewawa. I havent been to hooters in years. I know for a fact it wasnt this bad. Service was great and so was the venu. The wings are horrendous. If ever you wanted to taste a GMO bird this is the place. Chicken flavor was nauseating and the ranch dressing tasted like it was scraped off the streets of NYC. Not to mention the flappers no longer have the wing tip that I used to love to cruise through the wings and leave the meat on the wing tip and remove the bones in one fail swoop. The beer is beer. but I wouldnt come back here for wings ever again. My stomach hurts now.
UPDATE: just got bill. charged 1.19 extra for ranch. All wings should come with one order of your choice of Ranch or Blucheese. oh my how things change.

I am a longtime fan of Hooters wings and had not visited in a few years so decided to visit last week for Thursday night football. I was a little reluctant to go given so many bad reviews but mgmt has seemed to take notice and our experience was far different than what is portrayed in the bad reviews.
Service was great from start to finish and our food came out very quickly. The manager even changed the channels for us to make it more convenient for us to watch the football game for everyone sitting at the table (there was a college game on at the same time).
The waitress was very nice and constantly checked on us to make sure we were doing ok. Overall, a very positive experience. We had the multiple orders of the hot wings, medium wings, Daytona style, and curly fries. Everything was on point.
The only thing I noticed was that their wings have changed and they no longer serve the entire wing (just the party style a la bw3 style). I guess not a big deal and I’m sure I’ll be back to watch more football.

Do yourself a favor and listen to the other reviewers for this place. The boneless chicken pieces were the worst I’ve ever tasted in my life. Service was pretty decent, so plus one star for that. However, I was extremely disappointed by the chicken. I could go into detail about what I didn’t like about the chicken, but let’s just say I didn’t like everything about the chicken. Would I come back here again? No. Would I recommend this place to anyone? No. This is not a dinner experience that I would like to remember.

Aquí lo mas famoso son las alitas de pollo picantes, aunque mis hijos probaron las alitas con salsa de mantequilla y estaban bastante ricas, por lo de mas el local está preparado para ver eventos deportivos en la planta baja y detrás de la barra puede haber cerca de 10 o 12 pantallas con diferentes canales de televisión y otro aspecto singular de este local esa vestimenta de las camareras. Recomiendo una vista al Madison y después unas alitas.

Don’t ever eat here. Do yourself that favor.
I was extraordinarily hesitant to go here because of all the horrendous reviews it has, but it was a friend’s birthday so I sucked it up. We ordered some wings, buffalo chicken strips, fried pickles, fries and tots between 7 people to share. Nothing was good. Dry flavorless chicken, cold fries… just awful.
A few short hours later and I was feeling incredibly sick. I found out that all the other people I went with also got sick later that night too. Unless you want a serious stomach ache after this food, avoid this location at all costs.
This was my first and absolute last visit to Hooters ever.

I wouldn’t say I’m a huge Hooters fan, but I’ve also never really had a bad experience at any location. This MSG location was no different. There wasn’t anything that stood out, but I wasn’t disappointed in any fashion either.
The entrance is on 33^rd Street and can easily be missed. It seems small from the outside, but there are two floors and PLENTY of seating.
I usually sit at the bar and opt for wings. The atmosphere is always lively and customer service is always present. I even told my bartender that I was still (mentally) on vacation and she threw in a free shot… Now, THAT’S how you build a business!

Horrible customer service! Avoid this location at all costs!
I am from out of town and the first encounter we had was with the manager, he saw us having our Dodger gear on and first thing he says is we have no more tables for Dodger fans jokingly. No hi or welcome at all. Then once we got our table our hooter girl took 10 min to ask us if we wanted anything to drink and then we waited an extra 10 min to receive them. To top it off the beer we got was very hot, couldn’t even drink it. When I asked for a different one it took another 10 min to get it. We had to ask another hooters girl for to for another round of drinks.
Now with the food we ordered a 20 piece wing and some French fries and that took about 30 minutes to receive. Our server had a bad look on her face the entire time she was helping us and just rude with everything. Just horrible service all the way around. I don’t recommend this location to anyone!

We all know why we come here. Hot wings, hot pants and cold beer.
It’s a really nice looking place, great bar, lots of seating. It’s close to Penn Station, right next to the subway. You really can’t beat the access.
The wings are good. They expanded the sauces since the last time I was there. They still have the old 5 flavored, but have added a few new ones, as well as rubs. They also added boneless wings. Celery, ranch and blue cheese are ala carte though. I don’t remember that being the case.
The burgers… not so great. The patty was really slim, the toppings were too abundant. I got the Baja burger, it had jalapeño and pico de gallo with guacamole and pepper jack. It wasn’t bad, just not great.
They do have a good amount of beers. The beers though are a bit high priced, but it’s midtown. The bartender was doing a very good job of getting to everyone. It was busy, not crazy, but she was alone back there.
Not a bad place to go. It’s a good guys sports bar.

Soooo apparently we came at the wrong time… Or the wrong day.
Their C02 machines were down which meant no soda or beer on tap. Fine whatever I’ll get a bottled beer but still pretty crappy of them.
I also ordered a «orange shorts» mixed drink. This said it had tequila. Candied orange, and a lime. It was horrid. Tasted like a new bartender forgot the ingredients and either added ten pounds of salt or assumed I wanted a orange flavored margarita and he dumped in margarita mix. Yuck
Need I also say only reason I got this orange shorts drink was because they were out of lemonade for their specialty lemonade drink… Clean up you’re act hooters of NYC!!!
I just got mozzarella sticks and buddy got fried pickles. Cant really screw those up and they didn’t. Tasted like it would at any other Hooters in the country.

Been counting down to the day that Hooters finally opened! Ideally located just steps away from the the Subway & PATH stations, Manhattan Mall and overlooking Madison Square Garden. The entrance is a bit small and easy to overlook — however there is much more than meets the eye.
There are two floors each complete with its own large horseshoe shaped bar, with plenty of seating for groups of various sizes, high polished wooden counters and tables. There is also a small gift shop area on the second floor with their classic shirts and Hooter’s themed knick knacks. A word of advice for larger groups the tables are a bit narrow so elbow space is a bit limited.
The designers of this location did put that in consideration and have tried to save some space by installing hooks alongside the tables and walls as to clear up some space which is nice. This location is the ultimate haven for any sports fan, there are multiple TVs covering the walls — seriously no matter what direction you are looking there are at least 4 TVs within sight all playing different sports — college basketball, soccer, football — you name it.
Wings at Hooter’s is a given, but they also have the usual apps, salads, soups, burgers and sandwiches. They even have a nice seafood selection. But like I said, we went for the wings. They have the option for classic or boneless wings and you can get them breaded or unbreaded (naked). They have varying levels of spiciness for wings as well as different barbecue sauces and rubs. Celery and ranch/​blue cheese come with a cost but its good to note that they do free refills on soft drinks, tea, lemonade and coffee.
Our group of three ordered 50 wings: classic hot wings, honey barbecue, an order of tater tots and an order curly fries. The wings came out relatively quickly and sauced up pretty nicely. The level of spice for the hot wings were manageable with buttery accent, maybe a ⁶⁄₁₀. The wings were meaty and a good size. Tots and curly fries portions were a bit small and needed a nice douse of salt and pepper.
Pricing was pretty affordable for being in the heart of Manhattan about $ 25 a person. Great stop for catching a game or a stop before heading to MSG.
