Hooters

I went here to watch the UFC event when every other restaurant in town was packed.
First thing I notice is that the TVs aren’t placed very well. It’s hard to find a good seat to watch the event because some of the TVs are small and are in weird spots.
The seats are so uncomfortable, it’s unreal. Albeit, it was a stool, but the most uncomfortable stool I’ve ever sat upon.
The waitress, Taylor, gave our group a lot of attention and always refilled our drinks right when they were about to be finished. I like her. The place has good service, I’ll give it that.
The food was mediocre at best, though. Throughout the night, I had some mozzarella sticks, a couple of onion rings, a couple of wings, some «big dipper» fries; as they call them, and the whiskey barbecue burger — it was named something along those lines. I didn’t have all this to myself, mind you. Our group just shared the food together. The mozzarella sticks were okay. The onion rings were not cooked enough, I don’t think. There are 17 sauce options for wings, which is nice, but they wings aren’t moist and I don’t think they put enough sauce on them. The big dipper fries were really good — perfectly seasoned, fluffy on the inside, and a good crunch on the outside. But it sucks if your fries, a side, is your best food. The curly fries that came with my burger didn’t have a lot of flavor to them. They were mediocre. The burger wasn’t that great because I could not really taste it. I just tasted the heat, not the meat.
I would go somewhere else to watch the UFC and if you want to see women, go to The Tilted Kilt because they have better food.

The food here is wack! barely any sauce on the wings no meat in the tex mex nachos that are advertised in the menu as loaded the women here are pretty but the food sucks

Just had a buffalo chicken sandwich for lunch and it was totally disgusting. Chicken was tough, greasy and had no flavor at all. Will not be eating here ever again. Completely gross!!!

I can’t believe what just happened. We come here often and tonight will be our last. 6 people, 2 bills. Easy. You would think. I will not even embarrass them and go into lengthy detail of how incompetant these people are but they screwed our bill up SEVERAL times. Even after they were right. All in all they ended up charging our cards without having us approve the changes they were making. I ended up getting charged an extra 15 dollars. My options? They can reverse the charges which will take 1 to 5 business days to show up on my bank account, and re charge me or I can pay it. The manager flat out told me those were my only 2 options. He told me there was absolutely nothing else he could do for us. He also recognized that we were «completely fed up with this place and never want to come back». And yet there was nothing he could do to fix things or change our impression of this place. That was only the end result. Unfortunately, our waitress was useless. I have never had to go to the bar during my meal to have them find our waitress and then later have to ask the bartender for a box to go. I definitely did not come here for a free meal but a better educated «manager» and a competent waitress would have been nice.

With limited choices in Rockford for chicken wings (and no I don’t consider BBW a choice)… This is my husbands go to place when I have no lunch meat for weekend lunches. Food is always super fast. Waitress check order in front of you to make sure everything is correct. I love the breading on the wings so I always get them breaded. The hot sauce is not that hot so if you like them got I would get hotter than hot.
We had a problem once where a wing was undercooked. The GM comped our meal and gave us a free 20 piece. Service is great, will continue to come back for wings.

Food sucked ass!!! I spent over $ 70 on take out and got my order wrong… everything was cold and stale. I ordered a cheeseburger with onion tomato lettuce and side of mayo (no mayo) also stated will pay diff for their loaded tots (ended up paying full price for half a order that came in box with my burger) my fiancé order double bacon cheese burger (both burgers dried out and hard to chew) didnt have anything on it that he asked for. My mother ordered their garlic parm wings (only thing good that we ordered) and a cheeseburger (forgot what she ordered on it) but had no cheese no ketchup. Also ordered 2 slices of cake (fiancé and mom liked… too sweet for me) also ordered plain chicken wings for my fiancé (never got them). I called right away spoke with a female who wouldnt give me a name stated she would take my name (gave it to her) and the next time i came in i would get a $ 30 credit. Bullshit! Went back a couple days later to eat there thinking it would be better experience. I was told since the waitress didnt write my name down i had to pay my bill… are you freaking serious! Never will i ever go back and the only reason most people go is to look at what you think are big boobs but are only push-​up bras with padding lolz.

We come here every year. We got to Rockford Speedway for the Bahama Brackets. By far the best Hooters I’ve been to. Gena was awesome. Thanks

3 bux for a tall beer, great hot wings and a pretty good place to watch a game. The scenery doesn’t hurt. They also have trivia on Tuesdays.

I’m not impressed with the entire chain, and this one is the lamest. Due to business trips, I’ve been dragged into a number of Hooters restaurants by coworkers voting against me. A lot of the girls aren’t that attractive, but act like you owe them just for wearing tight shorts and a shirt. I like looking at hooters as much as the next guy, but phony flirting and forced conversation are completely unappealing to me, particularly when accompanied by really mediocre overpriced food, blaring music, and redneck atmosphere.

Since my original review I’ve realized just how fortunate Rockford is to have a Hooters like this one. It may have spoiled me to the point that I compare all other locations to my experiences here.
We like Hooters for multiple reasons. My entire family loves the food. My wife loves the Buffalo Shrimp, I’m a huge fan of the boneless wings and our son is a huge fan of both. We also really enjoy the lots o’ tots, the fried cheese curds and the fried pickles. We usually get the original sauce on varying levels depending on our moods. I’m more of a 911 or 3-​mile. The rest of the family eats mostly Hot. They have other sauces, but they just don’t compare. But the food is the same at every location, that’s not what sets this store apart from the others.
We’ve rarely had bad service at this location. In fact it’s been so long se we’ve had bad service that I really don’t recall when it was. As a family we can go in and the ladies that work here are always fun, polite and respectful. I know this is going to sound superficial, but they take a lot of pride in their appearance here. The uniforms are always clean and well maintained. The ladies working never appear to have been living in their clothes for a week straight unlike some other locations.
Good Job Hooters of Rockford for setting the bar.

We brought our exchange students here, and even they couldn’t see what the fuss was about.
We got fried pickles, mozz sticks, the buffalo platter, and curly fries with cheese for the table. All of which could have been bought at Sam’s Club and reheated in the microwave. At least that’s how it tasted. A forgetable burger rounded out the meal.
The staff was cordial, but paid more attention to the tables of dudes there for the sports TV. Too bad, as a former server, I tip well AND I wouldn’t stare at their tits.

My wife and Son make me go for the wings…
I also love the Buffalo Shrimp!

Went here last night for the Wednesday $ 6 boneless wings and a pint deal. The deal is pretty solid, but the boneless wings aren’t very big so I had to order two of the special, which then ended up being too much food. It kind of sucks that they only let you order in sets of ten (when is the last time you’ve even seen 10 chickens walking around together anyway?) but I guess for the price I shouldn’t complain.
As far as the staff is concerned, they were friendly, prompt, and paid a lot of attention to us and it seemed like they were that way for everyone in the place. On the plus side, the girls were better looking than most other Hooters girls I’ve seen; on the negative side, it was still a Hooters, so that really doesn’t mean much to anyone.
This place is not bad but not great. If you want wings but don’t want to go to B-​Dubs, this seems to be a viable alternative (or if LT’s is still closed down for their liquor license infraction, whoops…) to get a wing and beer deal on a Wednesday.
