Hooters

Came here to see satisfy a curiosity that has bern lingering for years. Food was ok but service was appalling. Prices were ridiculously high, definitely will not be back.

I always feel like I need a drivers license that says «McLovin» when I come to Hooters. No, I don’t know why either.
And when I say «always» I’ve only been to three, one in Nashville, one in Las Vegas, and one in Tokyo (which completely defeated the purpose, but was still fun). Just like every other American franchise that comes to Australia (TGI Fridays, Outback Steakhouse), our version is never as good as their version. The food is Americana, but it’s pretty basic versions of their most famous dishes — chicken wings where at least 3 of the 20 I got were refrigerator-​cold, 911 hot sauce that didn’t burn my face off like the one in Vegas did, a bowl of potato gems covered in melted Kraft-​like cheese, ribs that leave you wanting more for a reason you can’t quite put your finger on.
It ain’t cheap, either. The steaks and ribs run up to 30, 40, 50 bucks, and it’s no Porteno. And there are immense amounts of TVs cluttering the place. I know, I know, sports bar, but 29 televisions? Come on. Sadly, another example of a franchise where the brand gives them license to charge OTT prices while ignoring customer experience.

Went just after it opened at Midday.
Food was prepared quickly and the quality was quite good. Portion size was good also
Value for money? No, you pay for the Hooters brand/​gimmick so I find it a little pricier than maybe it should be.
The Americana side of the menu is pretty much spot on. My #1 Wife loves the fried pickles as well as their salads. The Burgers are similar to what I’ve had in places like «In’n’Out» burger in the USA, only much smaller
The place was clean and tidy on the inside. No-​one seemed to know why several of the TV’s at the tables didn’t work or weren’t plugged in (you could see the plugs next to the TV’s)
Would I go again? Yes. If I just wanted the food I’d probably go to a nearby Takeaway that specialises in American Style Food, but to sit and dine I would return.
