We've hosted many motorsports race promo's with Hooters and the staff is great to work with. Granted, the company has a very definite slant on hospitality - but compared to the same promo's we've done with other eats/drinks places, we got the most out of the ones with Hooters.

Nothing wrong with Hooters.
When my son was a toddler I bought him a little hooters shirt with an owl on the front.it came from the hooters tent at a car show we'd attended together. He wore it to daycare and it pissed off one of the daycare teachers.

The food is gross. The girls are so so at best. (Except when I've been south of the mason Dixon line) up north, if I'm so inclined I think I'd rather go to a strip joint and spend my money on other things than food.

Ok so a couple of years ago I took my son (13 or 14 y/o at the time) to the Hooters near the airport (PVD). We had the surliest waitress ever in the history of waitressing. My son looked at me like he just lost his dog and asked "How come we got the nasty waitress?"

On the bright side, lots of TVs with sports.

The on rt 22 in union? If its that one i've been there a few times... They lost their liquor license when they over served someone who got in an accident. Once the lost the liquor license the restaurant was empty.. They went out of business shortly thereafter.

Only been to Hooters once (not established in Finland) and that was in Toronto.

Food was OK, but compared to other theme chain restaurants (Bubba Gump, HRC etc) the food wasn't as good.

But hey, I've only been once, so maybe the chef was in a bad mood.

I like their buffalo chicken sandwich with provolone and blue cheese. With a side of curly frees it is great. Wish they had craft beers.

Hooter's is OK... just OK. There are far better "breasteraunts", as the media has named them.

I prefer Twin Peaks, personally. The decor is better, the staff wear themed outfits and the food is far better than Hooters, Tilted Kilt, Rack, etc. and includes some relatively healthy food choices.

Bubba Gump over Hooters any day.

Much better food, and great drinks.
