Well, I'm married so hanging around a place like hooters with a bunch of drunk assholes isn't really my thing.

Perhaps that was a tad harsh. I'm not a big drinker and drunk people tend to annoy me so I don't hang around in bars and pubs.

Whoah.

I haven't been there in over 10 years.

But slow your roll man. That sounds awful judgemental.

Fwiw, my wife keeps suggesting we go. Apparently they have exceptional wings.

Wings are decent, but, here in Buffalo we have a lot of great wing places. Get them "naked" (iirc that's what they call them), It's w/o their batter. Their Buffalo chicken sandwich was really really good.

My wife loves Hooters wings. I'm not a fan of their food. The beer however, I am a fan of...

Wow, talk about putting people into boxes.

Haven't been into a Hooters in a dozen years, but lumping everyone into 'drunken assholes'--really?

Have a feeling most visiting Hooter's might be married also.

You'd actually be surprised but Hooters doesn't have a bunch of drunk assholes. They're pretty strict on the amount of alcohol they'll serve with a pretty low max over a time period.

X2. Nothing but a "gimmick" restaurant. And certainly not a place to visit if you have a wife and kids IMO.

Whenever I go I always see families with kids there... they want it to be a family place...

It does. I'm not sure the whole business idea is very 2017...

I certainly don't mind Hooters. Can be a fun place at a mall to hang around for a few cold ones while my wife is shopping, but not my place to eat. And as others said, not much to be seen there. Girls/Women nowadays have smaller pieces of clothing on going to the supermarket than a Hooter Girl at work.

The wife and I always look around for a decent place for good food to refer our friends to.

We ate at Hooters a couple of times to try different menu items and neither time could we say that the food was worth a referral.

We met some friends at a tilted kilt not too long ago.

The food was mediocre at best.

And I had to be super careful not to let my wife catch me staring. That would have been bad.

And once the TK are open for a while (especially in smaller markets) the talent falls off quickly once the traveling "opening crew" has moved on. My wife's astute observation from the last time we were at the one by our old house.

Food is not that great at either. But hooters does have a good buffalo chicken sammich.

'The Tilted Kilt' HaHa! I remember it well - Whilst in Florida on a FAMILY holiday last year, we walked into a 'Tilted Kilt' quite by chance not realising exactly what it was and just thinking (in our English innocence!) that it was just a regular sports bar....boy were we surprised!!!

No complaints though...have no idea if the food was any good or not tbh, I was distracted by the game on the big screen TV... cough/ahem!
