This was my first time trying hooters and I hate to say that it didn't live up to all of the hype. Our order consisted of 20 wings, both of hot bbq and the medium flavored. We also ordered two beers. Pros: Our server Michelle was great, she was prompt in bringing us our food, beverages, check, and checked in on us a few times. My revolution anti-hero Ipa was great as usual. Cons: The medium wings looked unappetizing. The tray that they came in had a pool of oil and what I assumed to be "seasoning" at the bottom. The medium wings had absolutely no heat to them. My initial bite and all of the following consisted of a heavy oil flavor which lingered throughout the rest of the meal. The hot bbq wings tasted significantly better than the medium wings. Although I felt they lacked some heat as well. read more

So i get that you don't go to Hooters for unbelievable service, but c'mon, at least be able to take my order, serve my food, and have me on my happy way. Noooo, not here. Always have a problem with the service, it never fails. So the last time, we were able to get our wings and drinks no prob. She never checked on us after the initial drop off of the food. Had to flagged down another girl to ask for refills and what not. She then took her time with our check, finally got our check and after 15 mins she was still no where to be found. After a quick glance around the room, I found her where they kept the fountain drinks chatting it up with her coworkers (mind you, the restaurant wasn't that busy at that point). I was fed up so I decided to take my bill to the register. The girl behind the register wouldn't ring me up, apparently my waitress had to ring me out. So waited once again just so she can grab my waitress. Not worth talking to mgmt, I feel that every time we get crappy service we do, but nothing has ever changed. So we've opted for take out now since this is the closest Hooters to us. Don't want the below average service to interfer with my Hooters wings devouring =) read more

Never going to this hooters again. Terrible customer service - the waitress, messed up our order, we did not receive everything that we ordered, she didn't even accommodate us to adjust our check having us calculate our order... I can understand if it's busy & I would try to make her job easier but the crowd died down so there should be no excuse. I'm not happy that I had to even pay for gratuity for terrible service. Especially when I caught her giving us an attitude.. We ended up staying an extra hour at this restaurant because she wasn't helping us. Once we paid for our check she split our checks. When she could have easily done that in the beginning. We talked & complained to the manager - she apologized to us & gave us a free 50 wing coupon for only that location. But I highly doubt we'll ever use it since one we don't even live near there & two they have terrible service. read more

I love hooters! The birds, the babes, the wings! :D Usually the frat boy image of wings and sports game and beer is the last thing I want to participate in but Hooters I never can stray from! Women, good drinks, always a fun time. I wish there were more locations at least one in Andersonville would make me very happy. I've had these amazing shots that are a private collection only the employees know, which should be shared happily to the public. Oh Hooters I can not wait to indulge in to many wings and yummy beverages. read more

Great staff and clean location. Wings? Mediocre in general but on par with expectations (it is hooters). read more

First of all, I don't get the obsession with owls. Are owl wings the bison of the chicken wing world? Well like all other exotic fried items they taste like chicken! So what's the point? My problem is the health and sanitation issues emanating from an open kitchen where refrigerators open so often that maintaining proper temps for keeping owl meat fresh is not possible, and the fryer areas and floors are slippery slopes of the literal and metaphorical kinds. Since I pass liquid owl within an hour of consumption I must assume something gets lost in the owl storage, prep and cooking process. The servers are dressed provocatively and the place should be named for their appearance instead of for the owl meat...say "Daisy Dukes". read more

Our guy friends used to tell us that they didn't come that often and that they really just came for the wings. We laughed at them. Especially when one of the waitresses personally greeted my ex boyfriend; however, the waitress used to be his high school gym teacher. If you're coming to drool over women then you'll get a good eyeful. The ladies are hit or miss on the hot scale. But as my guys said, you come for the wings. Service at this particular Hooters has gone down in the past couple year. The wings weren't as crispy as they once were, but everything still tastes great. The four of us devour 2 curly fries, a basket of celery and 40 wings with 10 to take home. I'm not as enthusiastic about this place as I once was, but every once in a while the craving hits and you find yourself back in familiar surroundings. read more

I witnessed a girl fight. That will succeed to cheer on it's demographic and shy away those who are against it. Technically, more of an argument as two waitresses behind me screamed some stuff at each other. It was too loud for most people to notice the hostility. I had intended to never enter a Hooters, but as fate had it it was down the block from my hotel. This was my first and last time at Hooters because I am too much of a snob for this place. The bro crowd and bad puns, no, the crooked typeface and slogan that doesn't make sense, yes. "Delightfully Tacky, Yet Unrefined" That is the SAME THING! Rrr! ::uncontainable fist gesturing:: Anyway, the service was okay, usual nice waitress until regular big guy customers came in and were brisk. Also charged my mom for a side of blue cheese dressing that was supposed to come with her food. I suppose I would charge her too if I had to listen to an almost senior citizen ask why this place is called Hooters and why do they have pot bellies. I gleefully found out they don't wash the plates, they just wipe them and give them to you. Now I admit I hate this kind of environment. Maybe something about shiny leggings or bad freshman year t-shirt feminism that stuck, I don't know. But we did spend a good amount of time wondering if our waitress' hair (though kind she was) was her own or the top end of a broom. And playing She Will Be Loved only made it kind of sadder. But I can look blindly past it for edible food. I did not get that. My chicken sandwich was so oily I didn't dare finish. Even the mozzerella sticks were measly & questionable, I was rather ill after eating here (and believe me, I can consume food combinations that would make some people smack me in the mouth). My mom thought her soup was okay and I was subdued by finally having drinkable coffee and having milk to put in it (damn hotel). And thanks for making my mom able to exclaim "I wouldn't have hooters for breakfast!" Good to know. read more

I've come to this particular Hooter's (Norwood Park area) many a times. It's conveniently close to home and work for me. However, I will gladly drive to Schaumburg for food from now on. In the past year or so, service has taken a dramatic drop as well as the quality of food served. The other day was the final straw for me though. :-/ I love wings and when I come to eat wings I expect wings tossed in SAUCE NOT grease trying to pass for sauce. I also expect lemon either IN my water OR a small plate NOT on a freaking napkin! Bathrooms NEED to be cleaned A LOT better. They have been consistently gross. Cleaning of the tables needs to be 100x's better please! Curly fries are to be curly and not looking like McDonald's fries. ALL food should be hot if intended to be hot not warm or room temperature. & Lastly, service has been sketchy. Some days the waitresses are great and other days I find myself repeating an order or asking another waitress for my refills or anything else since my waitress will take the order and that's it. It's also rude for the waitress to demand to pay as soon as we are done with food. What if I wanted dessert or another beer? Norwood Hooters, you have lost me =[ I don't think I will be coming back for a while even though I love my wing fix every so often. I'll keep giving good old Schaumburg my appetite for wings. read more

I usually love hooters not just for the cute and sexy ladies but for the tasty wings and buffalo sauced shrimp. But this location is terrible in food and service. We came here the day after my hubby's birthday june 5th and I regret bringing him here the food was mediocre. For appetizers we ordered the mild boneless chicken wings, and mild buffalo shrimp when the waitress brought back our food it looked ok but the taste was the most bland and dry tasting chicken and shrimp I ever had! I called the waitress back to the table and told her about my disappointment with the order and how my food needed more flavor I also made a comment about the "mild" tasting chicken and shrimp and how there was the absence of sauce and the waitress told me "thats how they come"... me think not! on the picture the chicken doesnt look dry so why is it here? Well any way she took the wings back and had them cover it in some of the buffalo hot sauce which tasted watered down. My BBQ bacon cheese burger was very mediocre was not well seasoned and the bread was hard my curly fries were not seasoned the best thing of the night was the celery sticks other than that me and my hubby will not return and fellow yelper stay away... oh also when we left the rude waitress that thought she was too cute to see how are food was and to refill our drink made a statement like "now that you all are gone I can go home" What kind of comment was that? we can care less what, who, when. and where you go home to I felt that was very disrespectful we did not make you choose this job you could have left anytime... but go to another hooters because this one dont deserve your business! read more

This place is hit or miss. I've called in orders a few times to bring into work. Usually it goes smoothly, but sometimes it's not the nicest exchange. By that I mean they can be rude or short with you. Dining in is just ok. It's hooters and you know what you're getting. Crowded on weekends and game nights. Not so much during weekdays, non game nights. One last thing. If you order to pick up, make sure you have a menu from THIS restaurant. If not you might not like the response when you order sauces they don't have. This location has only a few of the sauces that they list on their website. Wish I would've known that before I ordered. read more

I am unsure if Jasmine's cat died before she came to work... Or her boyfriend/girlfriend broke up with her.. but here are a few reasons why she should not work for Hooters and your franchise should step it up.... seriously First of all.. When we walked in the door we were not greeted properly. Just FYI. The girl seemed rude... But I decided to brush it off, whatever... Not a big deal. We were sat and she walked away. Our server approached told us her name (I think) and asked what we wanted to drink. She didn't make any suggestions, didn't ask if we wanted to start with an appetizer.. happy hour.. was blatantly uninterested in serving us.. and the girl didn't smile.. ONCE... I would just like to point out that I was a Hooters server/bartender for about six years Michigan / Vegas and it was such a fun job to be apart of. I like coming in to take care of the girls (tip them well and be an easy table for the day)... when I worked at hooters we were pushed to take our job seriously and took pride in having great customer service skills, fresh food, AND most importantly to make women and children feel happy and welcomed to be there.. you should know that. This restaurant, however.. made myself and my friend feel like an inconvenience... to say the least. Manager didn't table touch once. But I'm pretty sure by the looks of the customer service skills of our server the managers probably don't really care about their job either. The food was OK... The wings were cold and way to breaded in my opinion. Oh well it happens. During our meal we were never checked on to see if we needed anything or if our food was tasting good... And I believe it says "two minutes two bites" in the manual. But maybe they changed that to "wait until your table is done with their food to check on them"... PS.... it wasn't that busy.. trust me jasmine didn't look rushed...She ended up coming around bringing us our tabs thankfully because we wouldn't have wanted to stay any longer than necessary EVEN THOUGH we really did want a couple more drinks. But wait there's more... We decided to come back a couple days later... Jasmine was working again..still looking unimpressed, per usual. We ended up getting a different server..she was okay. Followed the steps of service... Suggestive sold... However I just felt like she didn't enjoy her job and/or want us to be there. Even tho it's last call.. if your customers place an order.. you probably shouldn't be bratty about needing to serve them. Long story short.. Don't expect much from this group of girls and their service "skills" read more

Hooters - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I am a fan of Hooters wings. It just so happens that there are many other obvious reasons to frequent a Hooter's also. Do I need to go into it any further? The mild wings and Lot's a Tots are pretty much the ideal for me. It really is my favorite combination right now. The service, it remains constant with other Hooters in the area. They serve up a fast good meal and the servers well what do you expect they are flirty and friendly it is what they do. read more

I love Hooters wings! I like the drier wings more than the tossed and saucy kind. Shoot, I've been craving Hooters for the past few weeks. 6 Medium wings and loaded tots, please! This is my go to Hooters spot. Mainly because its the closest location, and I know most of the people that go here. The waitress/staff are really nice. It does get packed, though. It gets annoying to see a table with 8 chairs or a big booth occupied by 2 people when there are a bunch of people waiting. The parking lot is way to small, I wish that we could take advantage of the bank and/or hotel parking lots next door which is empty when the bank closes. I wish that one day, there will be a Super Hooters. 2 levels, with space in between the tables, and an actual waiting area. That's the dream. read more

I don't know if I'm supposed to review the food or the girls? This being a chain the food is pretty standardly good especially the wings! I stick to 3 mile island. Also ordered a "tall" old fashioned, just because its tall don't be fooled the drink was weak mainly ice n coke, as most other drinks were too. Stick to beer, they can't water that down well I hope not :( as for the girls nothing special compared to other locations. But the service was great ! read more

Hooters - 3 mile island - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

we Orders from this place for the first time. The order and a little late, not too bad of timing. However. The order was wrong they gave us spicy wings instead of the shrimp. The wings were to spicy to eat so we threw them out. The order came with no condiments, no napkins, no utensils. Or dipping souse for any of the wings we orders. The food was very soggy because of lateness, Nevertheless, I called the restaurant in which they credited me for the shrimp and were very apologetic, which was nice but useless for this hungry couple. At that time, they wouldn't even send the driver back. Maybe a dine in experience would be ideal for this place But definitely not a delivery order. read more

food was slow but good. went with the chipotle bbq this time on drumettes w/blue cheese and a side of fries. I love this sauce, more than the original. We ordered pitchers of Amstel and I'm pretty sure they brought us Miller, yet charged for the Amstel. Horrible ambiance (I mean I know it's hooters but come on....) way too loud in there for dinner time. If it were like 10 PM that's one thing. read more

I came here because Hooters was having a 20 wings for 13.99 deal. When I arrived, the parking lot was full and I had to find street parking nearby. The wait for a table was as long as I expected (~45 minutes), but it took another hour for us to receive our food. On top of that, our drinks were NEVER refilled and the wings came out slightly cold. I split an order of 20 naked wings with the bf, which did not end up being enough since the wings were significantly smaller than the breaded wings. Overall, I would not come back. read more

Great service. The dining area is nice and spacious. The music is fun especially with a few drinks. Amazing staff. Great Vibe. Delicious wings and shrimp. My favorite. read more

This the worst place to order take out from. I have given them multiple chances and they can not get it right. When I called and explain the manager basically called me a liar. So I will never give this establishment my business anymore. I gave 1 star cause none was not an option.... read more

Hooters - They tried to tell me these were tossed in a sauce... - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Obviously if you are a fan of wings, one is usually a fan of hooters. In fact many I have been to I have continued to love. This location.....well not so much! I suppose if it were a slow day maybe the service would have been better. But when it is packed it is crazy and there is no place to stand without interfering with the staff or entrance to the kitchen, unless you are towering over customers which I know I would hate. The customer service is fortunately good. But when they are so busy they do not check up on you when you are eating which is not my favorite thing. Especially if you are eating hot wings some water might be nice from time to time. Not sure if they need to hire more people for that reason or what the problem is. So in my future will I be going to hooters? Yes it is likely. Will it be this hooters? Only if other friends want to meet there or it is convenient. Otherwise I will be happy to go to the hooters downtown, which is always busy but never bad, or I will go to a hooters out of state. If I want wings near where I am living I guess I am going elsewhere or hoping that my future brother-in-law makes them. read more

Just like someone stated earlier, we received the bill way too early. That's just rude. This is the dirtiest restaurant I've ever eaten at. Worse than some of the crappy food joints in the city. The bathroom was disgusting, we had just arrived and the moment my friend and I left the washroom we mouthed to each other, "Never again." I saw the back of the kitchen as we walked in, and as someone who has worked at a restaurant before... it was FILTHY. The metal counters looked greasy and there was napkins and trashed scattered throughout the grimy unwashed floor. The workers just ignored it and stepped over it, no one seemed to be cleaning up. While we were eating our food, our waitress sat and hung out at the bar. She should be cleaning up the washroom or the kitchen for godsakes. What a DUMP. The wings were floating in lard. (We know it was lard because of the way the oil was congealing on the sides) and the curly fries tasted like freezer fries. They weren't even hot. Just cold and "starchy". Like the kind of texture you get in your mouth after eating day old McDonalds' fries. The Hooter's I went to in Oakbrook was so much better than this. Never ever again. read more

Haven't been here for a few years. Typical Hooters experience, though, no more no less than usual. Chicks walking around half naked with their hair out (I always wonder if they are breaking some kind of health code with that, but anyway). No hair in my food thank god! Our server was a sweetie pie and she was great at topping off our waters! We all know how picky I am with that! I had medium wings w/ ranch & my mom ordered the buffalo shrimp w/ curly fries and cheese. We looooved the curly fries & cheese! Buffalo shrimp was pretty yummy also. I don't know why but the wings were just... Wings. Nothing special. I've had better. I think I say that to myself every time I go there and yet in a couple years I return. Not a bad experience but just... Regular I guess. I remember their burgers being delicious I may go back for one of those! read more

I like Hooters. Every couple months, I'll get a craving for the buffalo shrimp, which is delicious. I've ordered the Lots-A-Tots for an appetizer before, and they're pretty delicious too. It's hard to go wrong with bacon, cheese, sour cream and chives on tater tots. I also recommend ordering a pitcher of the red sangria. The service at this Hooters location is pretty decent. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. I will say though, that the last time I was in there during the summer, it seemed like their air-conditioning wasn't working. They had ceiling fans going, but it was still uncomfortably warm. I mean, I know I had been drinking, but it still seemed warm. Overall, I like this Hooters and will definitely come back again and again. read more

My favorite of all the Chicago area Hooters. Best atmosphere, cutest girls, just a great place if you're looking to hang out with the guys. I love the spicy shrimp!! The summertime car shows are a nice bonus since I'm into that sort of thing. read more

Horrible. Place needs a deep cleaning. Like they could shoot a magic eraser commercial here and magic eraser stocks would go through the roof like Pokemon Go after the commercial aired kind of cleaning. Staff pretty much goes out of their way to not be concerned with smiling or being polite. Same with their phone conversing skills. A full time charm school instructor would go a long way at this spot. Why 5 stars? Because they have never fucked up my wings and the beer is always cold. read more

We have been going here for years. The quality has gone down a bit. Hooters in general has gone down a bit but that's a different story. This place gets full with business assholes during lunch time. the service is ok and the food is good or bad depending on what day and time you catch it. It's just your average hooters. read more

Did not have a good experience when I visited on 9/16/18... tables were dirty, we were sat at our table and waited to be attended and waited! It seemed like we did not exist.... we walked out due to the super poor service and lack of attention... I'm guessing no one wanted to make money... not going there again and will not recommend to anyone. read more

Typical Hooters. Service could be faster, but the beer was cold and in nice big frosty glasses.

This place is decent. I have been here like 2-3 times. The service is awesome. I have no complaints about the service because it is the food that is the problem. I had a burger or sandwich I can't remember. Immediately after we were done eating I was in the parking lot ready to vomit. I just had a stomach ache from the food and that was uncomfortable. I went back years later and the food was better. read more

We waited 20 mins which was fine. We ordered our food as soon as we sat since we knew what we wanted, but food was cold and the wings were very hard. Service is not the same anymore. read more

I've been to numerous different hooters all over the world and this is probably on my bottom 3 on my list. Wings were close to room temperature and so was the curly fries, and When I saw the bottom part of my plate covered in oil? bleh...... I wasn't hungry anymore. Our server was nice and attentive but the food sucked ass. 2 stars! read more

I was surprised how quickly they were able to find a table of 4 for dinner, as most of the time this place is packed...I usually enjoy ordering just the chicken wings everytime I visit! This time we ordered Fried pickles, Bbq bacon cheddar burger, Buffalo chicken sandwich with teriyaki sauce, medium,hot and Chipotle garlic chicken wings! read more

See all

We come here not as much as before. I liked it when it was only the original or few other flavors (911). Now that they have so many options just lost the real hooter wing flavor. I don't get as excited anymor, this place just become ah well blah. Though, never had any problem with their service and they're pretty quick on seating you. read more

I love this hooters location, friendly staff, wings always crispy, hot curly fries always fresh, and I love it when they put extra sauce the only disappointment was their cheese it now tastes like generic nacho cheese read more

Don't try going when their busy. You won't get service and if you do your food will never come out. Ended up eating a salad and was no longer hungry by the time my wings showed. Oh and they never showed!!! Ended up walking to the front to even get a check to pay! This is crap and NOT the first time either. read more

Now for an occasional(well, scratch occasional) guilty pleasure of mine....Hooters! For this particular location(and the crowds it gets), the service here has been quicker than I've expected it to be once you get seated, and I've been lucky that the groups I've chilled here with have only once had to wait for a table. Albeit I'm sure that waits for tables do occur here often for evening rushes, due to the fact that this is the busiest Hooters in the Chicago area. Ironically, I've usually gotten burgers or something seafood-ish on their menu, and not the wings. The oysters and crab legs are pretty decent, too, not to mention you don't find oysters or crab legs served at just any place. :) (and unlike the Hooters girls, that isn't a gimmick!) I think I'll agree with others that the service here could be better, but that it isn't the worst I've experienced anywhere either. Best to say service-wise, they're hit or miss(and really, their appearance aside!). Finally, I'll have to admit that I prefer the staff, crowds, and ambiance at the Melrose Park location, over this one(aside from the fact the TVs are much more strategically placed here). read more

-I take my hot wings with a cup of ranch. I recommend dipping the hooters hot sauce into it and mixing it together. tasty! I even bought a bottle for home. -Curley fries are always a plus. Cheese sauce on the side. -I love raw oysters, but these guys are pretty expensive for eensy teensy oysters. -Clam chowder: not bad at all. But really bad if you can't handle the salt -If you're trying to stay away from the burgers or wings, the Mahi Mahi sandwhich is a great substitute. I'm usually found here when snow crab legs are on sale. Otherwise, the rest of the food is mediocre. Bathrooms are sick. And I highly discourage coming in on a weekend. Terribly crowded parking. Stupid people like to stand on the porch and block the door way, and it's usually not worth it to stand around to wait for a booth when the place is packed and the food isn't THAT that great.. Its a place for when you have the craving for it. Otherwise, forgettable. read more

So I never was a fan of Hooters in the past, because I was never shown the amazing hot sauce. For some reason.. any time I went I got boneless wings with no sauce, I KNOW, its a sin! Although I'm still not a big fan of wings with bones, especially because I have this weird phobia of food touching my lips/skin around my mouth. So I tend to stick with boneless. My usual order is take out, maybe once a month of so at work. Its the boneless 10 pc special with fries with an extra hot sauce. Its only about $11 and im beyond stuffed after, so not too shabby. The only reason I don't give Hooters the extra 5th star is the prices of celery and ranch is pretty high up there. Other than that its my happy place! Helpful Tips: -They have a parking lot. -Boobs, beer, and birds.. what more can a person ask for?! -They do have a little out door seating. read more
