The food wasn't bad (if I want wings, I go to Wild Wings or Wing Stop), I liked the Hot Ham and Cheese. But the food was overpriced, and as a happily married man, I didn't think it worth the premium just to look at moderately attractive women. I haven't been in over a decade, so it could be completely different by now.MikeDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-48551979988871764472012-09-17T00:51:22.357-04:002012-09-17T00:51:22.357-04:00My sisters both like Hooters.

Guess when the Hooters girls don't have to worry about getting hit on by the patrons...<br /><br />My sister and her husband had their first date at the Hooters on Riverside here in Austin (so they could watch a baseball game, as I recall). So, they decided to have their rehearsal dinner there... :-PMiss Ladybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05036711338399907180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-17195713743039426732012-09-16T11:47:47.837-04:002012-09-16T11:47:47.837-04:00Well, there's your problem, then. Looking at ...Well, there's your problem, then. Looking at the menu online, it looks quite uninspired -- actually, the salads are the most inventive things they offer.<br /><br />American tastes have improved substantially over the last thirty years. Americans want better food. Hooters sounds like they're serving generic hot wings like always, but these days wings are very inventive. (My personal favorite is the Mango Habanero wings from Buffalo Wild Wings, but the Tilted Kilt's signature sauce is really good even though it isn't actually very hot. In both cases, you have a mixture of sweetness with the spice.)<br /><br />I'd say that attracting more women customers means putting more thought, and more quality, into the menu. Women like good food. So do men, for that matter.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-29158548581396638012012-09-16T11:30:52.885-04:002012-09-16T11:30:52.885-04:00Well, the food could stand improvement.

Their view of spiciest was just to pour a bottle of Tabasco sauce onto the wings. Nothing about flavor, just heat for heat's sake.<br /><br />Much of the clientele were into the macho of the heat, and not the quality of taste. And other sophomoric behaviors, <i>vis-a-vis</i> the waitresses.<br /><br />YMMV from this sample size of one.<br /><br />Eric HinesE Hineshttp://aplebessite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-18702184406201925112012-09-16T11:07:41.666-04:002012-09-16T11:07:41.666-04:00I've actually never been in a Hooters.

My first suspicion would be that they're getting out-competed by places like the Tilted Kilt, which have similar uniforms and better food and/or beer.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.com
