Hooters

«Twice in One Month»
My wife and I first stopped in on our way to I-​drive 360; and, enjoyed the traditional, breaded, hot wings, along with the bacon-​wrapped Daytona wings. Emilie was our server; and, we had a great time.
So much so, that two weeks later, we took our daughter and her best friend, again on our way to I-​drive 360. This time, we tried the fried pickles (some of the best ever!) along with the traditional, breaded, hot wings, which are our favorites.
The girls had the Daytona wings; and, of course, everyone got curly fries. The fries were quite unevenly seasoned, with one being extremely salty, another too much pepper; and, the third just right.
Emilie was our server again; and, we enjoyed talking to her about college, her career aspirations, and her hobbies. She shares a passion with our daughter; and, the two talked about tournaments and competitions, and local teams.

45 wait and the place was empty, they gave me a different order and they forgot items like fries napkins fork for the salad, and the waitress said that the kitchen got backup, hard to believe with and empty place, the manager was nice enough to apologize and got the order straight but by that time the kids did not wanted to eat since they drank their sodas waiting for the food. By unanimous desiring we did not tip the waitress.

I’ve been to several Hooters before in various locations, but this one was really nice. We went in on a Sunday evening, and were able to be seated immediately. The place was pretty busy, but not jampacked. Our waitress Lindsey, was extremely nice to my very precocious four-​year-​old little girl. She helped me to pick out some nice choices for both of my children and give some really good drink suggestions. After a very long day of being a tourist and going to multiple places, it was refreshing to be able to sit down, have some really good fish tacos, and top it off with some Keylime pie. Thank you Lindsey and thank you Hooters!

It was a lazy kinda night when the ol’ ball-​and-​chain and I decided to place a to-​go-​order at Hooters.
Boneless wings with hot sauce on the side, a chicken sandwich, and some fried pickles were what our simple order consisted of.
Fast forward 20ish minutes and there we were cashing out with the attentive manger (I think?) who read us back our order and sent us on our way.
The interior was clean enough to eat off of but we weren’t about that life, speeding off into the crimson, Sunshine State sunset instead.
Fast forward another 20ish minutes and there we were groaning in discomfort in a sickness we both felt at the greasy, greasy hands of the greasy, greasy food that tasted as if it had been sitting under a greasy, heat lamp for nigh upon ten years.
I felt like throwing up and my girlfriend prayed for death, but it never came. Instead, disappointment took it’s place and is still looming over our heads as I type this.
(NOTE: The food deserves a ¹⁄₅ but I’m being nice because the interior was clean and both people who helped us were friendly)
(NOTE #2: They forgot the side of hot sauce even though it was read back to us three times, and they swore up and down it would be there. It wasn’t)
—–
UPDATE: Fast forward yet ANOTHER 20ish minutes and I actually did throw up.

Had a super enjoyable dinner with my friends the other night. The food and drinks was ultra delicious. Staff and management were honesty very fun, professional and fun as they did Thierry assigned dutie and jobs. Building and grounds were very clean and organized.

Staff was great, beer was nice and cold but the menu lacked anything remotely healthy!

I typically don’t go to Hooters restaurants, but I do like this one in particular. It has a nice bar area and it’s fun to stop in for a drink. The food is good too. I only gave 3 stars because the last two times I came here, I tried to use my special vip card that they do accept, but the bartenders and management didn’t know about it. Then on top of it, they are rude about it and make me feel like they are doing me a favor. I mean, how hard is it to inform the employees about this stuff. Don’t they have meetings? Maybe I’m too corporate.
Anyway, if you go and eat at the bar, try to get Julia, she’s a rockstar!

My boyfriend and I went in and we were sat in a booth. 15 MINUTES went by and NO ONE acknowledged our presence!!! 5 DIFFERENT waitresses passed us at Least 10 times and not one stopped and said have you been helped or someone will be with you. I will never go to this hooters again. We never saw our waitress and ended up leaving and going to another restaurant. I guess they only give good service to guys they think are going to tip them well.

I stopped in around 11 P.M. for a late night bite with some friends before heading home. There were five of us. The restaurant definitely emptied out while we were there.
ATMOSPHERE (⁴⁄₅): It wasn’t particularly crowded when we arrived, so we were able to be seated pretty quickly. It’s a rather large location, which is useful considering it’s located on I-​Drive. They have plenty of TVs scattered about the place, so if you’re planning on watching a game, you can probably catch it here.
FOOD & DRINKS (⁴⁄₅): Yes. I had a Long-​legged Long Island, one of their signature drinks. For food, a friend and I split some nachos. While I wasn’t in the mood for wings, I managed to try a wing — not too shabby. Their fish tacos (with mahi mahi) were actually pretty decent. This isn’t going to be anything special, if that’s what you’re looking for. When you go to Hooters, you’re paying for the environment. It’s not exactly five star cuisine.
SERVICE (⁵⁄₅): Our server was fantastic! She managed to keep our glasses full (without being too pushy), which I’m sure helped with tipping purposes. I hadn’t had such good service at a Hooters, so I’m genuinely impressed.
Thanks for the pleasant surprise, Hooters. If I’m up for a late night snack, I’ll definitely be back.

I used to be a fan of hooters until I went to this one. They can’t handle busy periods and have poor customer service. If zero stars was an option, then that would be the rating.

This would get a 3 for the TASTE of the wings and a 2 for service. Pet peeve is an almost empty restaurant with staff standing around in herds just running their mouth. For a $ 1 per wing, and we ordered 50 — I figured we could at least get some celery (I finally let the manager know about this. I was ready to complain about the waitress but didn’t bother). The table was NEVER cleared while we were there. I cleaned it myself (no, I do NOT like looking at chicken bones and dirty napkins while I eat). Happy Holidays because the tip that was added due to our group (all kids except for 2 adults), you did NOT deserve. I just didn’t feel like complaining.
If you want some beer, wings, and /​or to look at no butt girls standing around… give it a try. DO NOT go there hungry or short on time!

The food was super slow after ordering. It felt like an eternity. The waitresses were great with our 2 year old son. Even when he spilled water everywhere there were 2 or 3 there helping clean it up… had I know spilled water would have gotten them all to rush over, I would’ve tried that trick years ago… ha

Great food. Melanie was super nice to our little boy. She made his visit nice. Thanks.

Nice place to go to for wings and watching sports events on TV. The wings are very good! The Strip cheese sandwich is one of my favorites to order. Strips of chicken, provolone cheese and buffalo sauce, served with curly fries. Mm

Wings were great! service was amazing!!! I didn’t have to remind the waitress anything she was awesome!

I stopped in and had the boneless wings with chipotle honey sauce. They were good but small in my opinion. Also had curly fries. The cheese sauce that comes with them is really good but I thought it was part of the fry order and didn’t realize there was an up charge. $ 24 lunch was a bit pricy for 10 wings, fries and a Pepsi.

It’s been years since i’ve been to hooters. As always i had poor experience. Place was very unorganized. One hostess was trying to take care of sitting, and merchandise orders during busy Saturday evening. Customers waiting for long period of time while you see empty tables. Managers are not to be found. Felt that the place is poorly managed. Waitress was subpar. We sat, and 10 to 15 minutes later she had 14 top seated. She took drink orders of 14 tops even before any of our drinks were served. She also added 18% gratuity, which I felt she didn’t deserved. Everything she did took forever. But i simply wanted to get out of the restaurant.
Food preparation was very poor. Their hot wings are something in past. Wings were dried. And I couldn’t taste their famous hoy wing sauce which I was used to. But then it hit me… I realized why I prefer to go to Buffalo Wild Wings.
I honestly have to say that I will NEVER return to Hooters again.

Food was fantastic and service was great. The girls were brill with my boys and my hubby was happy!!! overall one of the best meals so far on our holiday. Prices are reasonable as well

Burned food was sent to our table, mgr comped the food but for a place who deep fries everything l, not sure how you can get half of the chicken charred.
Service at Hooters in general isn’t stellar, but tonight was really bad. Waited 20 mins to be acknowledged, had to ask for refills and silverware when food arrived.

Love the buffalo shrimp in hot. Super good. Also tried the spicy garlic on wings and it was CRAZY hot. My eyes watered up a bit. We came right when they opened and sat right down. Marissa was our server and she was sweet and precise. I love good service. Would have given 5 stars, but one of my boneless wings looked undercooked and pink on the inside. Not enough to even complain about I’m just super picky. Nice lunch pre universal studios.

Chicken in chicken slider was impossible to bite through. Chicken was like tire rubber. I showed the server that u could not pull it apart with all your upper body strength. Gross. I’ll probably die now.

This is an awesome Hooters. We were staying in a nearby hotel for a convention that was in town. Stopped in for lunch and sat at the inside bar. The bartender was very nice and attentive. There were beer specials at the time because it was happy hour. We also ordered the buffalo chicken dip, which was delicious!

Brand new Hooters Restaurant on International Drive. I should say relocated location from Pointe Orlando. Now it’s located next to Howl at the Moon. This Hooters is really nicely designed with tons of TV’s to watch any of your favorite games. The staff was great, polite, and attentive. We had boneless wings which were ok but rather small in size. The fries were great as usual. Prior to our wings n’ fries, we shared some cheese sticks that happened to be really good and golden. Overall I had a really good time there.

Really wish Unilocal was like Zagat’s at times and you can give different ratings based on different aspects of a business.
Anyway, our last night in Orlando, didn’t know what we wanted for dinner and this was close to the hotel. I have a friend that loves Hooters’ wings and a girlfriend that loves chicken wings, so we thought we’d see if she’d like the ones at Hooters.
Nope. She didn’t care for them. If she’s going to get fast food-​esque wings, she’d rather it be from Bön Chon. Hooters would get 2 stars for the food.
But let’s face it, most of the time, you’re not going to Hooters for the food. It’s beer, sports and girls. This is where the third star was earned. Our waitress, Ava was exceptional. When we walked in and was seated, we could tell that she was having a night that she was probably dying for it to be over (we arrived around 11:30 for dinner). But even still, she was friendly and took care of us and her smile didn’t feel forced. My girlfriend really dislikes drums when she orders wings and she asked for no drums. When Ava brought us her dish, of the 10 pieces of chicken, two drums found their way into her batch. It was no deal for us really but not only did she apologize, she went back to the kitchen and brought her out an additional 8 wings.
If you’re going to go here, make sure to ask to be seated in her section.

Love the Daytona Hot wings and ceasar salad;) A perfect dinner. New location is convenient and really up to date. The girls here are very nice and don’t mind if you just want to hang out and watch a game. Perfect outside dining… with view of I drive if you like to people watch:)
Ask for Kara you won’t be disappointed:*)
Great server!

Wow. I came here to check out the owls they advertise on media. I like owls. When I approached the place I saw a couple of owl pictures outside the establishment and thought to myself, «Oh boy, am I in for a treat.» I was alone so I sat in the bar and saw some poor waitress with hardly any clothes on and the clothes she was wearing were several sizes too small. I thought that they must not have had her size in the uniform that day or maybe she washed her top and shorts in hot water and they shrank.
«Golly», I thought to myself, «the poor thing». Then I looked around me and noticed that pretty much all the workers had the same problem. Then I noticed there weren’t any male workers and thought that was strange too.
I worked up the nerve to ask one of the waitresses what had happened to her clothes and she first laughed and then looked at me sorta funny and told me that was their uniforms. I told her even though they made her wear those tight clothes, she looked completely fine to me in that outfit. I even told her I’d write a good 5 star Unilocal review so they’d get more customers so here it is.
By the way, after about 5 Whipped Ritas, it wasn’t until I was back at my hotel before I realized there weren’t any owls in Hooters, but just lady workers with big ones.
But I wasn’t really disappointed. I now like Hooters. Ya gotta stop here when in town. Party on, dude!
