Hooters

Service terrible and appearance also bad. Food terrible, cold, hard, and old. Blue cheese not homemade, too watery. Shrimp tastes like burnt oil.

I can say with absolute certainty this was the worst dining experience of my life. I honestly kept thinking I must’ve been on some reality show and a camera crew and producer were going to come out of the shadows and tell me everything was just a joke.

What a HUGE disappointment. I think all the good servers went down the street to Twin Peaks. I loved Hooters wings in the past but this weekend they tasted like garbage. There were 6 of us and each one of us ordered 10 wings and everyone of us took half home. I ended up throwing mine in the garbage. Our server was very slow. We had other servers filling our drinks and brining out our food and each one said «I have no idea where your server is». I went to the restroom and found out server on the other end of the restaurant flirting with a large group of young college guys. Well Hooters it’s been real but I shall get my wings elsewhere.

I love hooters. But this hooters is by far the worse I have ever been too. It was slow and me and my brother wanted an hr for our food. then I got told I was wrong when the food came out. I know what I ordered I wasn’t wrong. I order the same thing every single time. Plus my brothers wings were burnt to a crisp.
When I sent my sandwich back the manager took it and this girl had to make a comment OUT LOUD IN FRONT OF ME «you can’t just waste food.» Food wouldn’t get wasted if you put it in and gets cooked the right way. That was the number one thing that pissed me off the most.
Nothing but rude and slow service.

I havent eaten here since college… we decide to try this place in Castelton… This place was just okay. I ordered boneless wings, parmesan garlic, with ranch. I was given blue cheese… the blue cheese was a cheap brand… should have ordered the hooters sauce traditional instead.

WOW! I honestly couldn’t make this up; this was the worst Hooters experience I’ve ever had and the worst dining experience I’ve had in a while!

We ate there late this afternoon, and while the food was pretty good, the service was a bit questionable. We were there around 5:30, and there was only one other table with like 4 people. The place was dead.
Anyway, so the food came out and it tasted pretty good. The waitress, though, kept coming over and asking if we needed anything else. We were right in the middle of our food, and obviously not close to being finished and waitress announced she was dropping off our check and walked away.
We love the food at Hooters, but there are tons of other options in the area for good food, including Twin Peaks.

I think all of the girls have left to the new «Twin Peaks» down the road because the girls who are left here at Hooters leave much to be desired in both looks and service.
When we walked in the place was dead, there were three tables sat with five waitresses working, yet we were told someone would be right with us to seat us and didn’t get seated for five minutes.
We ordered wings which got to us quickly. They weren’t evenly coated, but were hot. My drink refill came as I asked for the check. Worthless.
Both my brother and I used the bathrooms when we left and they were horrid. We had used the truck stop bathroom earlier that day and both thought that was cleaner. It’s not like the staff was busy. They could have at least kept the place sanitary. Ack.

Really romantic place to spend Valentine’s Day. My only question is why the waitresses have to wear the orange shorts and white tanks but the chefs are all men and wear regular clothes?
The wings are all right. Apparently unlimited wings on Mondays after 6 or something.

I’d not been to Hooters in many years. Last time was with a group of friends, and, honestly, I don’t remember much, if anything, about the experience. And, no, alcohol wasn’t involved. I just don’t recall it making much of an impression on me, one way or the other.
My wife and I wanted to try some wings while in the Castleton area, and decided to give Hooters a try.
The first thing I noticed upon entering was just how run down the building looked. It’s in serious need of an update. Not only did it appear run down, but just looked… for lack of a better word… dirty. Messy tables, unkempt floors, etc. I’m not a guy that normally notices something like that, but in this case it was pretty obvious.
We decided to try the fried pickles, and I gotta say, those are some of the best fried pickles I’ve ever had. Light, crispy breading, and not greasy at all. I REALLY liked these.
As to the wings… I ordered the habanero bbq, and they were… well, they were bland. Not much heat at all, I was sorely disappointed in them, as was my wife in her wings. Just no heat.
The service was decent, until we were about ½ through the meal. Our server came up and asked «Are you ready for your check»? Ummm… no. We’re barely halfway through our meal. I’m not sure if her shift was ending or what, but she seemed quite impatient to get us out of there.
I’m going to give a 2 star review in the spirit of fairness, because, oh, those pickles. But, honestly? I don’t see us returning.

It was poet Charles Bukowski who wrote «You get so alone at times that it just makes sense,» and I can’t help but think of that whenever I find myself venturing into an establishment like Hooters.
Now then, I have to tell you that I’m not one to frequent Hooters for a couple of reasons — 1) They aren’t the most wheelchair friendly establishment, though I will note that this Hooters in Castleton has actually improved since my last visit quite awhile back including a new ramp in front of the restaurant that is actually ADA compliant, and 2) When you’re a paraplegic/​double amputee in a wheelchair, it’s pretty much hard to function in a place like Hooters because I’m way too short to keep a straight face. It’s hard enough, at times, in everyday life to maintain eye contact but in Hooters it’s pretty much darn near impossible. While I’m sure many guys would actually enjoy this, I’ve got to tell you that it just plain feels awkward to me!
But, as Bukowski would note, sometimes in life you do get so alone that you just feel like you need a little attention and, yep I’ll admit it, sometimes having someone call you «sweetie» and act like you actually matter is worth the extra tip, the not particularly dazzling food, and the overt sexuality that actually makes me laugh more than anything.
As a new establishment called Twin Peaks is getting ready to open down the street from Hooters, and it’s a similarly themed and growing chain, I found myself also wanting to check out and see things were at with Hooters.
I was definitely impressed when I got out of my vehicle and saw the newer wheelchair ramp, a definite plus. This Hooters is located in an older strip center in Castleton and you can definitely see where it’s showing its age. However, once you enter the restaurant you definitely know you’re at a Hooters.
While it’s still not the most wheelchair friendly establishment, with its large number of bar tables and awkward spacing, it seemed quite a bit more wheelchair friendly than during my last visit but that’s also because it was far less busy this time around. I arrived at the front door at what must’ve been some sort of shift change as there appeared to be some sort of confusion about who should actually seat me. After a couple of women acknowledged me but passed me by, Brooke stopped and greeted me. You could tell she was initially a little puzzled about an appropriate table, but after a couple of moments asked me if one particular table was fine (it was). She removed the chair, though I had to chuckle a bit as she really seemed to be following my lead. To her credit, she definitely rose to the occasion. She told me my server would be back, but after a couple of minutes came back and said she was going to be my server.
In case you’re wondering, yep, Brooke was tall and I found myself blushing inwardly every time I strained my neck to establish eye contact. She gave me a couple minutes to look at the menu, brought my unsweetened iced tea and then I ordered fairly basic cheeseburger plain with coleslaw and a side order of fries. I must admit that I am not fond of restaurants where fries are considered a «side» item, especially when your only choice actually with the meal was cole slaw or beans.
What?
I ordered the burger well done and sat in to get some reading done (really!) and watch some sports on one of their several televisions. I listened to the table next to me, an experience that reminded me I was in a place where sex sells because I listened to this guy, who was with his wife and kid, repeatedly refer to the waitress (also Brooke!) as «baby,» etc. It was fairly harmless banter, but I couldn’t help but think how odd that would be for his wife. I also thought to myself «That’s kind of a weird example to set for your kid,» but since I was also sitting in Hooters and couldn’t help but be seeing the breasts I tried not to be too judgmental.
The food arrived after a few minutes, as ordered, and while I wasn’t thrilled with the idea of a side order of fries I can at least say it’s a generous order. The burger itself was thick with an absolutely terrific bun and the cheese was melted. It was good, but definitely not great. The cheese flavor rather dominated the rather bland meaty flavor. If you’re a cheese lover, this may be fine with you but for me it was a bit too much. The seasoned fries were also good, but not great. The cole slaw, which came in a small plastic cup, was overly creamy and rather disappointing.
If I had to order over again, I’d have likely skipped the fries as I felt overly full at the end of the meal and not particularly satisfied in terms of taste. I was offered a refill of iced tea, which is always a plus, and Brooke checked on me 2 – 3 times without being intrusive or negligent. Megan, another new server, joined her eventually and had that ‘sweetie” quality I’d hoped to experience.
What can I say? I was feeling alone. It made sense.

I have always enjoyed the service at this Hooters. I have always found the servers friendly and my drinks refilled quickly. But the thing that actually makes me keep coming back when I have a choice of where to go is the off menu Triple Dog Dare sauce for the wings (which is so hot it is off menu). This sauce is the hottest in all of northern Indy and as long as it is available … I’ll be at this place as often as I can make a visit.

From the moment I walked in I should have known it would be a bad experience. The bartender told me to sit anywhere, ten when I did she then old me that where I chose was going to be «a pain for her to get to». I then moved to a table to avoid the bartender who was preoccupied with the two regulars at the bar.
My waitress was nice when she was there which was rare. I have come to know that hooters girls don’t spend a lot of time at the table, but none? I stressed to my server that I was hungry and would like a salad BEFORE everything else. I have eaten here and at other locations many times and know it will take a while on my main food, so I planned ahead. I waited 38 minutes on that’s salad which was followed by my food another 10 minutes later. I got 8 boneless wings and sliders. It took over an hour. Just bad!

I’ve been to this Hooters on two separate occasions. Food tastes average amd service is pleasant, but nothing extraordinary. I will definitely return if I’m in the area just because I like the wings and tots, but nothing I would highly recommend.

The wings are actually pretty good, but the service is wanting for two reasons:
1) Slow. We got chili cheese fries appetizer. I asked for more jalapenos. By the time the waitress came back with the jalapenos, the kids had finished all of the fries. Yes, my kids eat like a pack of wild dogs, but she was very slow.
2) They threw away our leftovers. Sure, it’s our fault we forgot it. But we went back about 30 minutes later and they had thrown it out. WTF. They probably threw it out as they were cleaning the table.
The waitress was sloth-​like, except when it came to throwing our forgotten leftovers out.

Ehhh… we brought a group of 8 but they would not accommodate us. Not even when a big enough table came available. The wings are great, though!

Its a Hooters, need I say more? But if I must they got good looking friendly servers, the food was hot came out very quick and the beer was icy cold.
Got seated right away, got a bigger table than necessary due to the fact this place wasn’t busy at all on a Friday night. All in all above average for this town which coincidentally doesn’t have any wing joints other than Hooters and Tilted Kilt.
Rated a four due to the nicer waitresses and speed of food delivery. Rachel my waitress was amazing!

Great food. Service is usually pretty good, but, it’s kinda lame when your waitress sits at another table for 20 minutes and shoots the shit with another guest when you need another beer or are ready to order…

Fine Women, Fine Food, Dated Restaurant

On a less than crowded night, at 8 PM — Far past the dinner hour — I went here with a couple friends and we had a final group of 10.
The wait to get seated was nothing at all for the number of people we had — 10 minutes — However our wait was just starting. We then had a 35 minute wait to get our first round of drinks and refills would come about 45 minutes after that.
After waiting over an hour we were finally asked for our orders and those came about an hour and a half later.
While we waited we had plenty of entertainment watching our waitress skirt around back when she caught our glance.
As for the food, while I am sure the quality is the same across the country, I think that the wings were horribly over priced.
