    Great Buffalo shrimp, side salad, and Hooter’s salad. Morgan took good care of us!

    Awesome as always. I spilled my drink which never happens, ugh. Waitress was very fast at getting it up n wasn’t rude about it. Yes I tipped well to compensate. Lol. Food was excellent. We shared 10 shrimp & 10 wings, the appetizers were fried pickles & curly fries. We love Hooters. I will say the prices have gone up a lot, but that’s everywhere. Our bill was 48.00 plus the tip.

    I honestly must say that this was the worst Hooter wings that I ever had. Very disappointed, I ordered five Honey BBQ and five breaded mild. Both flavors were terrible. Maybe they had a bad day or they have new cooks, but after waiting all day to go there, I was very upset at the quality of the food. They also have lemonade with Tito’s vodka for $6. Tasty drink but I had to ask my waitress if they forgot to add the alcohol. I would seriously rate this place a one or a two but because my waitress Giana was outstanding, I couldn’t leave such a low review. Service was excellent, and food was flat out disgusting. Hopefully they can make some improvements because it was a really nice atmosphere. Also the gentleman that appeared to be the manager, he was very friendly and accommodating as well

    Wings were good although overpriced for the the area better deals around town for wings some just as good and some not. The fries call them curly fries although there were nothing but a whole bunch of small pieces in a bowl. Service was bad from the waitress never came for refills didn't ask if we need anything else I'm just trying to enjoy some time with my kids. Personality means a lot in that business watch employees and how they act on the floor!

    My gosh I just received some of the driest chicken wings I’ve ever ate. I don’t even think you’re even using the hooters recipe. They tasted like they were dipped in regular flour and old oil. Plain and dry. I feel bad for all the employees who work here and have to put up with unhappy customers like myself. I will just be throwing my food away because honestly I’m just upset at what I got. I will not be ordering from here again.

    My friends and I came in here on Wednesday night and let me tell you the experience was great. We had Katie and Kayla for our servers, Kayla was training but she came up to our table right away and was super nice. The food was phenomenal and so was the sangria. We will definitely be back!

    One of the worst experiences ever. We sat outside, food came out lukewarm at best. I know at a place whose specialty is chicken you should probably stick with that. But why sell other stuff if you aren’t going to invest the time to cook it right. Two of us in our group of ordered steamed shrimp. One came out with several pieces not deveined. Mine came out cold. I also order a pound of crab legs, of course not cheap, and they came out cold. No seasoning added, just steamed. I had to request seasoning. When asked if anything could be done, the server brought out the Manager. Who basically said they get the shrimp that way and just cook them. On the crab legs he basically said there was nothing they could do. They couldn’t heat them up. Didn’t offer to do another batch or take off my tab. The sides we ordered were cold as well. At this point we stopped bringing anything to their attention. We did still tip the server 18% as I believe they have little control over how the food turns out. However that will definitely be my last tip and trip there. Will not be going back. Just not good service or food.

    You can't beat the atmosphere at this Hooters the foods great, service is always great, I have no complaints. Out of all the server's one especially comes to mind, a beautiful young lady named Sam. She is definitely one of the hardest working from what I can see. She is so friendly just an all around sweet heart. I always felt welcome here

  • 5/5 Corey 6 months ago on Google
    As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted with happy faces and a warm welcome. Can’t say enough about our server, Sam! It was super busy and Sam continually ensured our drinks were topped off and that our food came out to perfection. The Philly Cheese Steak slaps. We’ll be returning soon!

    I often buy wing, and now they change the box and all sauce was getting for the new box, I don’t know why they change the regular box to go. Awful experience.

  • 5/5 D S. 6 months ago on Google
    We thought this location was fantastic. We were seated immediately and our server arrived shortly thereafter. drinks came out quickly (and with our server). She was very attentive but not intrusive during our visit, which is very much appreciated. Other servers pitched in to help out both when we entered and throughout the night, all were very friendly and really made us feel like guests.

    Came in with my husband to get some wings & drinks.. This Hooters location did not disappoint. Food was great and our bartender Tori was fast, super friendly, and efficient— not to mention that she makes a great drink. We will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Daniel R. 7 months ago on Google
    I had a great lunch, Honey BBQ Wings and Tots. The place was clean and the atmosphere was fun. The kitchen was taking forever-and-a-day to get food orders out. But Erin took good care of me. At the end she game me a giant 40 oz iced tea for the road.

  • 1/5 Ramsey G. 7 months ago on Google
    I have been coming to that location for years and years because I live across the street. I had a ok service not a good service in the past at the same location but I overlooked it because the majority of the time I do have a good dinner and good service, but last two times was absolutely terrible I arrived at that location around 2 PM. That’s my favorite time because they are not that busy so I sit down.they have maximum 10 customers at that time, so I sit down and wait for 10 minutes then finally,? I think she was the bartender took my order which I ordered chicken wings and a Caesar salad. And I asked her if I can get the salad first so took about 25 minutes and I have to ask her twice for the salads I noticed she was helping in the kitchen. I don’t know why ???? the place was not that busy at all? Finally after 26 minutes mine salads arrived to my table and another 40 minutes for my wings and they are not busy. At all The kitchen is not busy. Then in nice way I asked my server if I do not get the food in five minutes I am leaving so I noticed she went to the kitchen. Then I looked it the kitchen it was wings on the shelf and she ask the cook to reheat the wings in a deep fry which made my wing taste, terrible, soggy, and a lot of oil. . I decide this the last time I’m coming to that location cause completely bad, management, so I paid my ticket. On my way out. I noticed a lady standing behind the counter, in the in carry out I’ve noticed that same lady was having lunch at the same time. I was waiting for from my food then I asked the lady are you the manager at this place? She didn’t even look up. She Respond Yes,I’m I said that I had to wait for a little bit more than one hour to get eight wings I will never never come back this location respond 0 nothing I don’t know how to have a corporation personal like hard to manage a good location like that location. Now I have to drive so many miles to go a different location so that’s why I’m giving one star for the service and one for the food because my food usually is good. It was good but miss handled a bad cook and a bad server, This my opinion. I used to go to times a week now I don’t once a month because I have to drive so many miles.

    I know there are plenty of options nowadays, but when we just want some good takeout wings for the game, it's ALWAYS Hooters and almost always the naked wings with Honey Thai sauce! The hostess is always waiting with a smile when I go to pick up and everything is correct. We also dine in on occasion and their burgers, tots, and curly fries are great as well... and the beer is always ice cold!

  • 3/5 Sami G. 7 months ago on Google
    Went there bc my boyfriend wanted to go. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich (bigger than your mammas) not so big.

  • 5/5 Hooch L. 8 months ago on Google
    The only reason we come to this location is because the cook Wee we love our Odessa location that is closer but no one can compare to the Chef Wee he absolutely knows what he is doing top notch food best sauces i have ever had and his customer service is top notch to accommodate you ! You will always have forever customers even if we have to drive further .. Thank you Wee!!

  • 4/5 Alberto H. 8 months ago on Google
    Went in a little late and sat by the bar. The bartender was attentive and nice. Got the wings with the Daytona beach rub which was fire and we don't have in ft Lauderdale. Definitely worth trying! Will return for a nice cold beer, wings and ofcourse...HOOTERS!

  • 3/5 benjamin d. 9 months ago on Google
    Went on a Saturday around 6. Sat feet away from expo where food came out. Servers were great food was good except the fries. Sent back fries because they were room temp and soggy. New fries were worse than the first. Would have sent those back but felt bad for the servers because the cooks were beyond rude and fairly aggressive towards them. She was training and did an amazing job along with her trainer. Watching someone get treated like that made this meal the last I will be having there.

  • 4/5 Luca M. 3 months ago on Google New
    We shared 20 boneless wings in three people as a snack and they were really good. The servers are nice and friendly, too. We went when the restaurant was about to close, so there wasn't much movement going around, which is the whole point of the restaurant, so I guess we didn't have the full experience.

  • 1/5 Osleydi C. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been to this location twice and both times ordered “extra crispy naked wings” both times I got the opposite with a side of cold fries. The food took longer than usual and wings weren’t even hot. i cant say I’m surprised they took long, and failed to make my wings as ordered. Waitress was asked 3 times to change channel. Poor service overall.

  • 5/5 Royalan H. 10 months ago on Google
    Ava was awesome and nice. The food was really good. The clam chowder soup was fantastic and the chicken salad was really good. Thank you guys.

  • 5/5 Kanecia L. 11 months ago on Google
    Love this location. Very clean and food is always fresh made to order. My daughter loves the kids meal as well. Our waitress was very polite too. Even though it was busy she continued to check on us and refill our drinks.

  • 4/5 T W. 1 year ago on Google
    Manager Server & the rest of Hooters Staff was good along with food definitely would go back there again

  • 5/5 Scott B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been to many Hooters across America, and I have never recalled a time that I experienced better customer service than with Sam at the Bruce B Downs Hooters location! I feel she went above and beyond to deliver exceptional service by knowing and understanding her customers, along with providing a super friendly / chill / comfortable vibe. Credit to the cooks as well because the grouper sandwich is always cooked perfectly juicy, with a nice crisp on the outside, and the fries are a perfectly crispy brown with a hint of spice. Awesome experience and my best Hooters in the area hands down!!!

  • 5/5 Joyce A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for Birthday fun or just good food great service. Excellent location, very clean large selection of beer & cocktails. Beautiful girls providing a great dining experience with warm smiles. Lots of TV and not noisy like most Hooters. Highly recommend the Turkey Burger, claim Chowder, onion rings and cheese cake.

  • 5/5 Florie D. 1 year ago on Google
    Came in Saturday morning and sat with a lovely young woman. Aby took amazing care of me and my best friend! We came in for lunch and a couple beers but stayed for a couple pitchers! She recommended the buffalo shrimp which was exactly what we needed. The food was great but the service was amazing! Always had a smile on her face when she came outside to check on us and kept us laughing for the hour or so we were there. Great job Hooters!

  • 4/5 Mo C. 1 year ago on Google
    I had not been to Hooters in years but was happy I did. They cooked my wings extra crispy the way I like them and I was able to order all flats. The new flavors were good. We had honey barbecue and parmesan garlic.The environment was lively and service was fast and friendly.

  • 5/5 Scott S. 1 year ago on Google
    Samantha was the best hostess I've ever had! Phenomenal attitude and focus on customer experience! She was ecstatic to treat us to a table right away, and always came back to check on us to make sure we had full drinks and see if we needed anything extra. Overall, it was a great time for my buddies and I. I will be back!

  • 5/5 Jazmine W. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to Hooters with my girls this weekend…. BEST TIME EVER! Our waitress Katie really is what made the experience for us. I don’t normally leave reviews but she was just too good… will definitely be making this location our new place to go. She was so personable and just absolutely hilarious! Beautiful girl with an even more beautiful personality!😆

  • 5/5 Ali F. 1 year ago on Google
    Another excellent experience at this local Tampa Hooters. Great service with the same vibe as the original in Clearwater with the beach/surfer theme and local sports teams’ memorabilia. Wings were awesome as usual! I had the Daytona extra crispy and my daughter the boneless traditional hot which kept the chicken juicy and tender. The Hooters slaw was as good as always, and the serving side of ranch was such that you didn’t need to ask for more. Happy hour 22oz beers on tap were at a reasonable price and served fresh and cold. Special shout out to our server Katie, who did an outstanding job of being friendly and attentive without being a helicopter server. Richie, the floor manager, also checked on his customers and seemed to have an excellent rapport with his wait staff and cooks. This was a very enjoyable experience at this Hooters, where there are numerous competing sports bars in the area. A great atmosphere to watch your local sports team on any of the numerous TVs, well placed throughout, or to just chill with friends or colleagues after work.

    Nice as always boneless Buffalo wings and Daytona traditional wings . Drinks featured the Tropical lit and everything was good . The service was great !!!

  • 5/5 Tomas B. 2 years ago on Google
    It is real comforting to come in to Hooters I see a great staff. You have two great Bartenders Katie and Grace very attentive to their customers. It is very comforting when your staff is on point and the customer doesn't have to ask for anything it's already given to them before asking.

  • 5/5 Erik R. 2 years ago on Google
    I haven’t been her in years but the restaurant looks great and the food was good

  • 3/5 Julie P. 2 years ago on Google
    The chicken on my Hooters salad was cold and dry and tough. My husband liked his grouper sandwich. Wings were good.

  • 5/5 Laura D. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is consistently great. The wait staff really listens to you and meets your needs. You wouldn't think of this as being a family restaurant but we've been coming here for almost 30 years. Our kids little league teams celebrated here. Our boy scout troops came here to recover from camping trips. All around great food, great service and fun for all.

    The food was super fresh, our server was delightful... that was a great dining experience. VERY PLEASED, thank you!
