I heart Hooters! I mean, how can you not. And the Hooters in Pasadena is [ was :(] one of my favs. Great service, but most importantly, scrumptious wings! Last time I was here I had 6 different kinds of wings, all fantastic. The sauces complemented the buttery golden chicken wings very well and were washed down refreshingly with a cold pint of beer. Yes, the dining experience can get somewhat kitchy yet generic, but c’mon, it’s Hooter’s! You’re not gonna go here for exotic fusion cuisine, it’s all about those wings to make you slobber until you need the entire paper towel roll to clean yourself up! Oh yes, and boobs.

I had come this this Hooters over this past summer, and I had high hopes since it was my first time visiting this legendary chain. While I thought the food and the place were okay at the time… I now think less of them since I have been to multiple other Hooters since then and can definitely see that this particular establishment just wasn’t up to par. First of all… on a Wednesday evening, it was empty. Sure the TV’s were on and there were a few stragglers sitting around the tables and the bar… but that was it. *crickets* That’s not a good sign. We ordered a bunch of original flavored wings, a burger, and some curly fries between the 2 of us. It was just… okay. The wings that we soaked in teriyaki sauce or our other selections were flavorful due to the sauce, but the originals were dry and kinda of tasteless. The fries were unspectacular and required several rounds of salt on them. I don’t even remember what the burger was like. Eh. Later at other Hooters, I experienced Hooters wings again and loved them! I’m not sure what this Pasadena branch was doing wrong since the wings are their signature item on the menu… The waitresses all wore their shorts too high up they behinds and their caked on make-up almost disgusted me. I know the theme of the restaurant chain is to be blatantly tacky… but really… ehhhh, somehow these girls seemed worse than the waitresses I observed at other Hooters in the next new months later. The service, itself, was okay since there weren’t many diners there to be served, but other than that… I never went back. I can totally see why it closed.

This location is officially closed and has been for several months now. The nearest location would be in Burbank.

I don’t know what people are expecting when they go to Hoosters or even worse when they write their moronic reviews! Wake up and smell the Hot Wings people… Hooters is a great place to go and have some fun, eat some wings, and have a few drinks w

Visited once and never really thought to come back. Heard this location recently closed down. Oh well, no big loss, at least to me. One less mediocre chain operating in a coming-of-age Old Town Pasadena reinventing itself. The food is here is typical greasy«all-American» heart attack finger foods paired with your favorite brew on tap while the game is on television sets hung up around the wall corners. It’s as if I just accurately described T.G.I. Fridays, Hooters, Yardhouse, Applebee’s and B. J’s? You can get the same experience in a better atmosphere literally across the street at Barney’s Beanery.

My one and only time here was back in 2003. Me and some friends were drinking at Crown City Brewery, when for some strange reason, we decided to bounce over here Big mistake. Yummy! Heineken on tap for about the same price as Crown City’s unique selection of beers… minus the cool. Yeah, good riddance to this place.

Just came here today with my boss and another co-worker. My boss said: «their hiring standards apparently are higher now». Indeed! The girls that were working today were very hot and ALL of them have huge«wings», if you know what I mean. The food? Who gives a crap? Ok sure, the specialty of the month is burgers. They’re ok. They don’t come with fries. The fries taste plain. Who comes here for the food anyways?!

The food was whatevers and the girls weren’t much better. I dont know why I always get the least attractive waitress! I left with a craving for melons, which was not on the menu!

When the word«Hooters» come to mind, I can only think of one thing… Wings. That’s right, hot wings and breast. Pfft I don’t even need to look at the menu here. My usual are Hot Wings Breaded Hot with ranch on the side with fries… MmM *drooolz However, I’ve been to this Hooters many times and the service at this location isn’t the best. It’s sad to see so many one to three star reviews about this place but it’s true for the most part. My friends and I waited more than 15 – 20 minutes for our order while the other group next to us got theirs earlier and they did sit down after we did. Also, the quality of girls here aren’t as FINE as the Santa Monica location nor even the Burbank location which hasn’t been open for too long. And by quality I mean, customer service skills, communication skills, and yes breast. If you’re REALLY craving wings then yeah why not Hooters. But if you want faster service, a little quieter place and better service; I suggest going across the street to Hot Wings Café.

Look, you only come here for one reason… The Wings! Everything else sucks. The burgers are dry. You’ll get a better hot dog at Costco. Don’t get the hottest wings. Its like drinking hot sauce. Service can get pathetic when they’re packed. Go on a UFC night, but go early. Oh yeah, some cute girls with huge jugs work here.

did you know, this place is rated DD? come on, you didn’t come here for the food. lol, i saw that on a sign once. but the wings are damn good though, haha. been here a dozen times or so and the mood is always friendly. i even saw a girl eating as her dad eye-fucked the waitresses. sleezy fo sheezy. but anyway, the wings are really good with ranch dressing. don’t forget to order plenty of curly fries to go with it and a pitcher of beer. definitely a nice spot to watch a game at and stare at orange behinds that scream ’ gimme a fat tip ‘, lol. There’s also a spot across the street called ‘Hot Wings Café’, but I didn’t find their wings as tasty. A good spot to eat hot wings and for the most part is stocked with eye candy, though there are a few that seem… out of place, shall we say. heh.

Love the wings here. Get the daytona style, they’re very much like the Jack Daniel’s wings that they USED to have. Some waitresses are nice, but others don’t give a rat’s ass about you. One time, they charged me an extra 70 cents when I asked for my celery… are you joking me? They have me a total of around 8 pieces and charged me 70 cents. wow… I woulda tipped you that extra dollar if you had let me slide on that one. They have a decent selection of beer on tap. They have seasonal brews which change out from time to time. Two stars for the daytona wings, one star for their seasonal brews.

WTF. Hooters was sooooo disappointing. We went to on a Hot Wings journey, two different times. Both times we hit up Hooters(in addition to Hot Wings Café, Barney’s, and Moose’s) and both times Hooters came in DEADLAST. Why? For one, both times we got hot wings with feathers. Yes, I even have a video of me eating them as proof. And although I didn’t get sick and will not be getting a nice big settlement, I can at least say it was not appetizing in the least. In addition, the pitchers were expensive. They were cheaper at all other venues(‘cept Moose’s which doesn’t even have pitchers, for shame). And the beers were uninteresting. The hot sauce was top class spicy as hell(although they didn’t even give us the right sauce the second time!) and there was the proverbial eye candy, so that’s the only reason for the 2. Otherwise, this place will now and forever be skipped on all hot wings nights! Banished from the land! D:

Ok, I’ll admit it… I am a gay man who really doesn’t have any reason to go to Hooters. So, there I was, shopping on a Sat. night with a great str8 buddy of mine in Old Town, and he suggested we hit Hooters for wings and brews. I’m game for anything… watch it now… anyway, so to Hooters we went. After the shock of bright lights hit us, we sat at the bar and were greeted by Lisa, who took care of us royally. We didn’t have to wait for anything, she was on her game that night. Wings were very good, better than I expected. Beer was also excellent, just as I expected. Watching Extreme Fighting with my younger(35)hyper-masculine ex-frat buddy was one of the funniest homo-erotic experiences I’ve ever had. I mean, really… it IS kind of that way. I probably made him nervous staring at the TV like that. Lisa and the other Hooterettes couldn’t have been nicer and more friendly to us. These girls have one tough job… but they handle themselves(and clientele) very well. Who knows, I may be back sooner than later. Oh yeah… nice rack! Now I feel like I fit in.

This is the place to watch UFC. The girls are nice here and they serve you beer by the pitcher. The wings are great but the best thing about this Hooters is the UFC nights. My brother’s radio Station AM570 is hosting Monday Night Football here throughout the 2007 season. Come on by and say hello to Petros Papadakis, USC c/o 01, and Matt«Money» Smith, the coolest white guy I know every Monday from 4 –7 pm.

Good beer and wings. I suggest going to a Dodger game first and hopefully the win with 10 runs because you can bring in your ticket for free hot wings. Nice munchies whilst drinking. I’ve only been there once and it was alright. I’d probably go again if friends were going or I had more tickets for free wings!

This particular location carries the newer wing flavors, samurai(teriyaki) and cajun(non-spicy). I like it here. No, I don’t like the ladies like that. But I was surprised that they’re no longer wearing the pantyhose anymore. The Old Town location probably has the friendliest Hooters Girls I’ve ever met. So friendly that our last server there was more than happy to tell me how she gets her eye makeup looking so damn hot and smoky. But I go here for the wings. Three Mile Island and Cajun, if I can convince people to eat some with me. Plus, from 3−6pm is Happy Hour; ½ off appetizers including ten wings. Can’t beat that. Watching sporting events is okay here… they have lots of little televisions scattered about, and the space is really large. It’s pretty fun to go here to watch the ‘SC/LA games(particularly when UCLA is winning), but the Santa Monica with their super duper large screen is a little more enjoyable to watch events, I think. EDIT: There’s a great change to their menu: each plate of wings you order comes included with one dipping sauce(ranch of bleu cheese). You pay for any extra, but how nice of them to provide that now!

Boob’s? No. Tata’s? No. Thelma & Louise’s? No. Yeah, I see why they went with Hooter’s. It’s March Madness and I meet up with some friends to watch some basketball, have some beers and EAT! Noticed I left out«have hot chicks serve me». It’s because I have Fallopian tubes. But the girls are hot. However, little secret? They’re hotter in San Diego. I’m just sayin’. Anyway, I’ve had the wings before that everyone raves about and well, eh, is what I say. So I decided to try their cheeseburger. Wow, oh wow. Very simple: melted(serious melted too, not half ass) cheese, onions, tomato, lettuce, mayo and a delicious well-done beef patty. Great onion rings too. Not so much a fan of the curly fries though. Burger, onion rings, Hef, friend’s team Nevada winning in overtime. Not a bad way to start a Friday. =)

C’mon, who doesn’t like Hooters? There has to be reasons why anyone would step in to this fine franchise. Love their concept. There’s so many clothesline wiring above your head. It’s like they transfer the order to the cook by just shoving your order to them by gliding the paper on a clothesline. Not exactly innovative, but hey gimmicky enough to be cool. Noticing that it’s only guys reviewing this place so far. I’m pretty sure Jenny J. have seen this place in her neighborhood. Ladies, you gotta give this place a shot. It’s not just all for the guys. Great hangout for different sports games on TV all over the room. The atmosphere is rowdy with chaotic actions at any given moment. The service… hehehehehe…well…hehehehee… you know, the orange shorts ain’t that bad. The attire can be… hehehehehe. Oh ok ok, that’s part of the fun about this place, the happy go lucky waitresses enliven the ambiance and the fun atmosphere. The food is another thing all together. Not quite sure what to make of it other than the fact that I have better food elsewhere like at National Sports. The buffalo wings are serviceable and the drinks are not bad. The oyster buckets… let’s just say you can get it better at a decent seafood place. The PG-13 action that some of the waitresses provide are both naughty and entertaining. I do admit to participate in those rowdy behaviors and the gawking that exudes out of my eye. If you are not looking, then you should be declared legally blind. A fun place to be with great howling atmosphere at night. I heard they tried to be family oriented at daytime. I just hope it’s true because in case I can bring my mom here instead of Mimi’s Café. I would do it in a heartbeat! Too bad she doesn’t dig the buffalo wings. *sigh* oh well.
