Hooters

Been here a few times. No doubt the food is amazing, but if you it Hooters to find the love of your life, try the one near the Pearson Airport. In my opinion the chicks are hotter there, plus there a stripclub right next door, so you can get even bigger blue balls.
In case you missed my Hooters Airport review, try the grilled cheese, hands down the best in the world.

Went for the all you can eat wings on Monday and by the time we were done, well all were full and hated ourselves, which means it was good.
It was a quiet Monday afternoon so the staff was attentive and friendly. Place was clean and classic. Food was greasy and plentiful. What else can you ask for?

The wings were good! Preferred the naked wings! The waitress were great! We had about 14 guys, they did a great job serving us!

Okay okay okay. It’s hooters. Its reputation precedes it… But my curiosity got the better of me, and well, they serve beer. I put my feminist side away for a few moments to give it a try. I was expecting low cut tops on the waitresses, but the very tiny bottoms was a bit of a surprise! There is very little clothing on the wait staff folks. It’s borderline clothing optional. I might be exaggerating a bit but it was a little shocking. Being women our service was clearly not as engaged then if we had been men. The male parties were given a lot of attention whereas they just checked in on us from time to time but didn’t stay and chat. We only had beer so can’t really comment on the food. The patio upstairs is actually really quite nice… And I would probably return again if everywhere else was busy and I needed somewhere to go.

It’s so tacky and nothing has changed ever. The fried pickles are the best in my opinion. That’s the only reason we went there. If I’m craving deep fried pickles I would for sure go out of my way to come here. The atmosphere is kind of creepy though. We walked in and it was pretty quiet with about half a dozen tables full of men awkwardly checking out the servers like they were strippers. The air conditioner hardly works either. It was so hot in there the bar tender said it turns off sometimes, it just doesn’t work properly anymore. None of the washroom stalls had doors that locked. I checked all of them. The lighting was bright so I do know it wasn’t too dirty but the place is so old it felt like it had some serious deep dirt that no amount of cleaning will ever get rid of.
Go for the pickles if your a fried pickle fan otherwise avoid this place at all cost.

So, I decided to put my feminism on hold for a couple of hours, as per my friend’s request to have AYCE wings. Upon walking in, it was exactly what I expected it to be: scantily clad women wearing push-​up bras, orange booty-​shorts, and tan stockings to hide any ‘imperfections’; kitschy 90’s style signage; dude-​bros with lust in their eyes, etc.
We decided to proceed to the roof-​top patio, which was quite nice – probably this establishment’s only redeeming quality.
The wings were bland. I’ve had many-​a-​wing in my day and these were the worst. Perhaps they serve the bad wings on AYCE day and the good ones on regular days? I’ll never know, as I will never be back. To expand, they were tiny, with very little meat (I couldn’t help but wonder if the chickens that the wings were sourced from were malnourished). They were haphazardly sauced, rather than tossed. The flavours that I tried were truly uninspiring (Habenero Bbq, Daytona Beach and Chipotle Honey); meh on all counts.
Now, onto the brews. As a recovering Beer Snob, I try to keep an open mind at these types of establishments. However, I cannot stand for dirty taps. We had Rolling Rock and Shocktop. RR should be crisp, light, highly carbonated; it was murky and pretty flat. Shocktop tasted like orange Kool Aid (Oh yeeAAA) #gross. Now, the fact that both pitchers were nearly $ 25.00 each was shocking and frankly I should have said something when the Rolling Rock came over looking like a wheat beer. I was trying not to be a snob and my compatriots were okay with it, so I drank it like medicine and enjoyed the ride.
Overall, it was a piss poor experience. I’m just glad I spent it with good company, also they happened to showing Play Fair on their many t.v.s (that’s what was on TSN at the time) so rather than one star, I will bestow 2 for irony.
I would recommend this place to individuals who have low standards in regards to food & drink. This is also an excellent place for people who would like to go to a strip club, but are too shy to deal with the impropriety that comes with it.

Really liked this location. Has its own parking lot. I ordered the Buffalo Shrimp Wrap and it was outstanding. Probably the best food I’ve ever had at any Hooters, including U.S. sites. A pint of Guinness was rather pricey but oh well. Would certainly go back and the service was excellent.

Umm. I was forced here against my will under circumstances that will remain vague… I know Hooters was a thing in the 90s, but it really shouldn’t exist anymore.
Food: Had some tater tots and some of the wings. I had a few rum and cokes as well. The tater tots were good, pretty cheesy. Wings were also decent.
Service and Atmosphere: kinda sad … None of the servers seemed happy and who can blame them?

I hate it when I have to compare US chains to their Canadian counterparts, but sometimes it has to be done (I’m looking at you Chili’s). I’ve only been to Hooters a few times in the States, but even with my limited exposure, the Toronto location was just not up to snuff. The fried pickles were a little less crispy and the wings seemed a little more skimpy than what I’ve experienced back home. Does anywhere in a Toronto have pickle chips (NOT spears!) besides Hooters??? I’ve been here three years and have yet to find them.
One other minor beef — we called ahead to see if they were playing the UFC fight and were told that they were. Great! When we got there, yes, they were playing the fight, but without sound :/​so be forewarned, if you’re going for a sporting event, you might be stuck listening to their in-​house radio, which actually wasn’t so bad — there was some U2, Fuel, White Stripes… Basically what you’d expect at a bro-​bar.
Our waitress was very sweet and totally cool with us camping to watch the fight, so there was that!
I’ll probably be back next time I have a fried pickle craving, unless I can find a better Chip option. Seriously, Toronto, help a sister out!

Great looking women :) Nice place to catch a game on the giant screen TV by the bar. The food however is terrible, and not just for your health. Burger sliders tasted like two pieces of soft dry wall with some notion of meat in between them. I would only recommend as a place to get some drinks and as a group hang out.

I love Hooters, but this review is about the restaurant so…
Love the restaurant and I’m used to Hooters as it’s all over Florida. The restaurant here is one of the few in Toronto. It’s pretty big and the they’ve got TVs all over the place, which makes it one of the more quintessential sports bars you should go to for a game. If you’ve never been before, Hooters is known for two things, Chesticles and Wings.
The wings here are actually pretty good. I love them both naked or breaded, and the jumbo size lends itself to a very satisfying meal. Lots of sauces to choose from (though some wing places have such a ridiculous amount, that it becomes annoying). Hooters has a good amount of sauces, but doesn’t look to confuse you. Prices are standard, as a pound will run you about $ 10 or so. The curly fries here are legit too, and go very well with wings and beer. Other items like the boneless wing dings and burgers are decent enough. Fried pickles are supposed to be killer here, but haven’t tried them so can’t comment.
Parking can be a pain as there isn’t many lots or parking spaces around. The patio in the summer is nice, but the interior is just as good. Waitresses are easy on the eyes, and friendly to boot. Monday nights is all you can eat wings because there is no better way to impress your waitress than to stuff your face with wings and have it worn on your clothes.

Typical shitty wings, and overpriced Ontario beer from girls who couldn’t get bartender jobs in the bars surrounding the clubs in the Entertainment District. I don’t know, the American hooters’ have girls who look like supermodels. This location has girls who look like they’re from the suburbs (our blonde bartender told us she was from «the 905» which I assume is some suburb). Brought my clients here hoping they’d have a great time. It was ok. Had a great time at the Ballroom down the street right after with the server working the section next to us.

Horrible wings. It was so brightly lit it was blinding. Service was fast. Never again

Was here for lunch last Friday and my oh my was the service extremely slow. We had a large group so we split to two tables. The other table all got their food half an hour before we did and were getting ready to leave just as our food arrived. My friend and I split two appetizers– fried pickles and cheese sticks, and I understand that it’s an app but the portions were very small… especially for the price that charged. Each app was about $ 9.
The server was friendly, however she rarely came back to see if we needed anything. We pretty much ran out of water after 10 minutes and she didn’t bring us new jugs until the food arrived.
The food was really meh as well and makes you super thirsty after! I probably had litres of water after the meal as I felt dehydrated the rest of the day. Drinks were alright, bit watered down. But you get what you paid for.
It does have a really nice roof top patio so if you want some sunlight and just drinks, then I would suggest giving the place a try. Otherwise for food, I would suggest going to any one of the restaurants across the street. The food is much better and you are pretty much paying about the same.

The food looked delightfully tacky, but in taste was unrefined. It was sub par, and did not meet my expectations. The aroma was unsatisfying, and the flavor left much to be desired. The photos on the menu were low quality. The grilled cheese was greasy and flavorless. The nachos were not vegetarian friendly, the menu did not specify that they did have meat. The fish and chips was basically an entire fish atop a bed of fries. Although the waitresses were very nice, I was not offered a refill of my coke, which tasted suspiciously like pepsi. At one point my personal space was invaded by an excessively social bee. The highlight of my visit to Hooters was the gift shop. If I was straight I would rate it five stars.

Friends and I went to Hooters after having dinner at Town Crier. It was pouring rain outside, and we wanted to head somewhere close — so we made the impulsive decision to check out Hooters.
I’d never been to one before, but it was pretty much exactly what you’d expect. Scantily clad and generally indifferent waitresses, no drink menu (you have to ask!), and gag-​worthy kitsch posted all over the walls. The soccer game was playing in the background, but the hordes of creepy, middle-​aged men were otherwise distracted.
A pitcher of Keith’s Red, after tax and tip came to a mind-​blowing $ 30. Three glasses of extremely watery, no-​longer carbonated beer for thirty bucks. Quite honestly one of the most expensive beers I’ve had in my life, and also one of the worst.
Avoid this place like the waitresses avoid the creepers hitting on them.

What do you do with your coworkers after work? Well apparently, I go to Hooters.
OK. I don’t normally go to hooters, but it was pouring rain and this place was nearby and we wanted some chicken wings. I also tried their poutine and their deep fried pickles. I’d never seen pickles not fried as spears, and I enjoyed the hooters tactic. Slices really maximize the breading ratio, which I like. The poutine was horrible. The wings were great.
Listen, I’d be lying if I didn’t say the overall eating-after-drinking…errr… I mean working thing wasn’t done pretty well here, but I can’t in good conscience give hooters a good rating. I feel icky for having gone, and I hope these beautiful ladies move onto other serving jobs where they are able to wear more clothing soon.
PEPPER TAKES PAUSE: Do you think they really make that much more in tips dressed like that? Discuss.

Funnily enough, I’ve always encouraged people to go to Hooters for their food. And I say that every single time with a straight face. For some reason I’ve noticed that me saying that very sentence, causes apoplectic fits of giggles and titters in others not unlike what a 6-​yr old does when he says the word «boobies». But seriously, I have fond memories of going here in my undergrad years, ordering the cajun wings, and enjoying them quite a bit! I’ve always also maintained that the Hooters girls are… overrated. Nice show on the side maybe, but I don’t think they’re THAT much prettier/​more wowzers than many people that I know of.
So I traipsed back here, bemused coworkers in tow, yesterday to re-​live if the food was still as good in my memory as I remembered. And the short answer? Sadly, no. But the positive side is that the overall food itself isn’t too bad at all.
Firstly, I love the fried calamari and deep fried pickle appetizers. They’re ACTUALLY tasty, even sans sauce (but that’s just frankly crazy talk). The pickles in particular are much better than the ones at Dave and Busters because they are sliced more thinly and thus have much more yummy oil and fat penetration than those ones. The chipotle-​like dipping sauce that comes with them are also awesome. I use that sh*t on everything. The calamari were scrumptious and NOT rubbery. Wonderful.
I then wanted to order something that’s NOT wings for a change, and ordered the strip cheese sandwich (Jimmy, STOP LAUGHING THERE AT THE BACK I SWEAR TO– oh sorry got sidetracked). The Texas toast used was so, so tasty (and so bad for you) while the cheese made everything awesome. But I noticed that the chicken meat itself was very dry. The sauce (and cheese) masked this dryness considerably but it was definitely not good chicken. This, coupled with my colleagues disappointment at the small size of the wings, confirmed my fear that the actual quality of many of its offerings really aren’t stellar anymore (if they ever was).
Also, our server seemed disinterested, even though we had both sexes present and behaved impeccably. I know you probably get a lot of boorish buffoons saying idiotic stuff that makes you weary ma’am (which you can unfortunately also argue comes with the territory), but if you cannot muster a genuine smile to a group of well-​behaved work colleagues just having lunch, then you should probably not be at Hooters. She was polite enough, but I’ve never seen a more disinterested server in all my Hooters experience. Maybe if we behaved like morons then she’d warm up to us. Odd.
I’d come back because I did like sandwich and because the food is still decent overall. But I’m not gonna rave to everyone to come over here. The very definition of a 3-​star place.
PS: It WAS very nice and toasty in the restaurant though, which was nice and understandable given the waitresses’ attires.

We picked up the take out special. 40 wings, coleslaw, potato salad, fries, and gravy. 25 bucks plus tax.
The wings are kind of small and they leave the tips on. Who eats those? There’s nothing on ‘em. Ah well. We ordered the wings in two ways: half original and the other regular. The chipotle honey original battered were surprisingly good. They were crispy and saucy. The habanero BBQ regular was just average. Saucy. I would never eat AYCE wings cuz I ate like 8 and was stuffed.
Anyways, the coleslaw and potato salad were pretty small. Just enough for two people. The large fries were curly, and was a reasonable large size. Again, just right for two people. The gravy was just okay.
2.5 stars.

«Oh, no! You didn’t!»
«Uh, yes. I did!»
How can you not go to a place that bills itself as «delightfully tacky yet unrefined»?
Now, I know there are quite a few of you who have judged this place before going. It’s not as bad as you think. In fact, it takes serious balls (or boobs if you prefer) to walk around with the ugliest pair of tights to go under those orange shorts.
I have no issue with the women and their hooters. It’s really the men leering that is kind of gross more than anything. They should just go to a real titty club but the wing special on MOndays is hard to beat.
You want to know something? At least these women are covered up and wear the proper bra with their uniform. I see, consistently, especially in the summer, more women out in public — streets, stores, restaurants, whatever in more inappropriate wear. In fact, memories of them have scarred me so much, I fear summer.
Now, as far as food goes. Stick with the chicken wings and you will be fine. Straying from their regular menu, you will be faced with somewhat mediocre fair. For the amount you would be spending, consider going elsewhere for a meal. However, I would definitely return for the wings special — All you can eat wings on MOnday for 9.99!
