We came here as a second option on our last night, and I'm not going to lie. I've dreaded ever setting foot in a hooters. Needless to say if they are like this one, then I'm no longer concerned. Our waitress was very sweet, I get they have to wear makeup but hers was a lot. The kitchen forgot our son's fries, the mild wings were bland at best. The honey bbq were good, and the fries were alright. I guess I was expecting more that what I saw last night, but I don't plan to go to Hooters anywhere else to compare notes. read more

Hooters - Naked Wings 10pc - Sports Bars Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

I genuinely don't know what happened. I don't know if I walked into a one star or five star experience. Every where else in town was an hour wait so we thought, might as well. The first impression was when the hostess asked how many were in our party and after saying "4", she said "yeah that may be fine" and sat us inside. The AC was out and a giant portable unit was the only thing cooling the place but considering this is the smallest Hooters in the world, literally not a joke or exaggeration (it's on the wall), it didn't feel THAT bad. Our waitress was very nice and gave us our menus but that's when the issues became apparent. The half wet, falling apart, bite taken out of (again not exaggerating) paper menus showed that they served one burger, a chicken sandwich, a few salads, and wings. That was it. Fries? Extra. Not included. Now it's been a long time since I've been to a Hooters but I remember there being a LITTLE more than that. But alas. I ordered the burger and a side of fries and my fiancée and friends all got wings. The food took a decently long time to come out considering there were only two other tables and one Doordash order (which I'm like if you're Doordashing Hooters at the Gulf, your night is going worse than mine) so the 45 minute wait was questionable. My burger was shockingly extremely good however. For just a patty, cheese, bun, and onions, it kind of hit the spot. The fries were decent but not the seasoned curly fries I remember Hooters having, just plain. But with some ketchup they weren't bad. Everyone else said their wings were pretty good, not the best but not the worst. Overall, it seemed like the most middle tier experience of my life. This would've led to a 3 star but the manager, shorter grey haired man with a beard, brought it to a 2. He gave "creepy Hooters manager". Maybe he was even the owner. I'm not sure (this place gave franchise, not corporate owned and Hooters in name only) and was making loud sexual jokes to people. I get it, it's Hooters, but that doesn't mean you can be a creepy manager around your employees. Overall, would not go back. Not sure why we went. But could've been worse. Could've been better. Please don't let your life get to where you have to DoorDash Gulf Shores Hooters. read more

Standard hooters experience. Descent wings and okay service. Not blown away and didn't leave upset. Just another hooters.

Our food was great. It was a bit warm inside but everything else made up for it. Good space. Our waitress was Kaila and she was amazing! One of the best I've had while on vacation. I highly recommend the signature drink Titos hero! Yum!! I had the wings and one of my friends had the Philly chicken. Very good! I'm only giving 4 stars because it needed a little more air. read more

uggghhhh... Sadly this is one of the smallest and worst Hooters I've ever visited. The staff try really hard to do their best but I'm just not going to eat here but I will drink a few beers. This is a decent spot to grab a few drinks and enjoy the little Carnival parades that Gulf Shores puts on but they don't really encourage you to bring your adult beverage down to the side of the road if you buy it in a restaurant like Hooters. Now if you have a can of beer in a koozie or in a Dixie cup you are probably all good. I hear they might make Hooters Great Again but they are changing the uniforms apparently so I don't know if it will really improve anything or just make things worse... I hope they make it great again but I won't believe it until I see it! read more

We were greeted with a 1 hour wait time which was no big deal until our 1 hour mark came up and we asked how much longer it would be and all they said was "the kitchen can't handle it" and basically sent us away. Mind you this was only a Thursday. Disappointed in the communication read more

Waited on drinks for over 30 minutes they only had one waitress and the manager didn't know how to keep her people in check if they can't keep food coming and going then they should not be open the cooks were absolutely disrespectful to the waitress and also took 2.5 hours just for them to tell us that they couldn't serve us our food which is fucking bullshit for a place that is always busy and popping if your workers don't know how to work then they shouldn't be working..... read more

It's not the waitresses fault because they were all running their asses off but there was no AC inside and it was hot as hell. The owner should step tf up and make conditions better read more

Waitress, Kaila, was on top of things and very friendly. The inside was so hot it was hard to eat. No fries were available, only tater tots and salad. The ladies I was with liked the drink special. read more

Quite possibly the worst experience I've ever had a a restaurant. Came in to a mostly empty restaurant (should've been a sign). The host told us to sit wherever, so we sat outside. Multiple employees walked past us, no service. 30 mins later we were able to flag someone down. They said "one min". Came back and asked our drinks, and we didn't see her for another 15 mins. She brought 2 drinks and no pitcher of beer. We had to flag the manager down to get her to bring our pitcher. She complained about having someone walk out, and 17 year olds bartending. She walked away and was still loudly complaining to another employee about the situation. She went in and sat down, didn't get us the beer we ordered. There was a table behind us of employees off the clock, and they were serving themselves pitcher after pitcher of beer. Our waitress came back out with the pitcher and everyone's food except the kids. We watched the kitchen staff eat food from the meals they were cooking customers. We waited 15-20 extra mins on the kids food. We watched several tables get up and leave without getting service. Will NEVER return. read more

This is by far the worst Hooters I've ever had the misfortune of having to turn to for a late dinner for me and my family. The service was horrendous the food was tasteless. It's changed my view on Hooters everywhere, if I could give it a negative 5 I would. read more

The service wasn't all that good at first! Didn't feel welcomed! Me and my kids were in town for Memorial Day Weekend from Birmingham!! This was their first HOOTERS experience and it wasn't so pleasant!! The food was greatly prepared!! read more

We went so long without being helped we just left. We walked in, no greeting of any kind. Stood & waited for a while until someone finally came over. We asked to sit outside since the AC was broken & it was hotter inside than outside. The waitress handed us menus & we figured out we were to seat ourselves. Once again, waited & waited, no one came out to our table so we eventually left. It must be the unsuspecting tourists keeping this place afloat. read more

Where do I start the wings were awful! They reminded me of straight up rubber. The service was downright awful we ordered a chicken sandwich and we had to finally ask for it to go after almost a hour of waiting! The waiter was very rude and told us they had a homeless cook who hadn't showered in days cooking our food. I mean how is that safe! The restaurant got packed and the chefs just stood there. The atmosphere was like a run down bar. Would definitely not recommend read more

Visiting from Roanoke Virginia where all the Hooters in the area are closed. Down here on vacation and stopped in for lunch, the place is smaller than most. Morgan was our waitress and service was good and the wings were hot in temperature. We didn't no see anything wrong here and enjoyed our lunch read more

Hooters - Mild Original Hooters Style Wings - Sports Bars Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

I would leave a zero if I could. Worst service. No one in the restaurant helped out anyone else. Sat for 10 minutes before we were even greeted at the table. We ordered immediately. One part of the meal came out. Apparently they gave the rest of the food to another table. Never got refills. Never got part of the order. Never got extra ranch. Iris was horrible. One of the worst dining experiences ever. read more

This place is the worst. Sat there for 30 minutes and no one would wait on us. We spoke to two different waiters, the host, and the manager and still no one came to wait on us. Avoid this place at all cost. Pathetic workers all around. I'd give this place a zero if I could. read more

Billed as the tiniest location in the world & offering a beachfront view in addition to their contemporary beach themed environment common amongst many locations. One thing least common amongst many locations is their laid back relaxing atmosphere having lesser noise compared to constant bustling locations I frequented on previous occasions. Wait & cook staff strive for customer perfection offering excellent service, hospitality while serving up their usual classic fanfare featuring wings,seafood,burgers & other classic menu apps entrees & dessert items. Looking over wing selections offered. My attention fixated towards Daytona style wings & prior to placing my order & asking my server description on Daytona style wings. She recommended them & described how they are prepared & spiciness of them. After hearing her description she had me sold on ordering them & after ordering my first dozen & finding them delicious with perfect amount of spice seasoning & crisp. Next order I placed included an additional dozen with my curly fries served crisp juicy & golden brown. Dessert here which piques my interest & tantalizes my taste buds are their dessert shooters (non alcoholic) which tantalizes my taste buds with their sweetness & flavors which is my recommendation to anyone wanting a light dessert after a huge meal. I will patronize this location again being they met all my expectations pertaining towards dining service & food quality. Patio area's pretty nice & have enjoyed it during past visits. Decent beach view wonderful for watching sunsets beach side view & watching traffic.

Hooters - Sports Bars Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

We came in as a bunch of drunks dressed as Presidents (in honor of President's Day for a bachelorette.). We got good food fast, and our waitress was super patient with us! We behaved ourselves, but it was nice to not be treated like the drunken idiots we were. They handled our big group so well! Great first Hooters experience! read more

I am not impressed by the service or the food we sat there for a hour waiting on our food. When we got it the food was cold and not very good. If you are thinking of going here DO NOT go somewhere else. read more

this is the worst service I've ever had. The managers literally do not care. It was almost 2 hours for our food and the food was ice cold. Our waitress was new and I felt so bad for her. The managers are absolutely AWFUL. The staff in the kitchen just stood there and talked and two other waitresses were in the bathroom vaping. Don't even get me started on the bathroom-I've seen nicer ports potties read more

I would have left -100 negative 100 stars if it was possible. Worst food, service,atmosphere - dirt and mold everywhere. This place should be shut down immediately. Servers bad attitudes and Chelsea was very rude- maybe if she would stay off her phone she could give better service. Girls hiding vaping outside in front of customers and on their phones. Not greeted one time. Not one manager in sight to speak with- he's busy is the only response you will get. Never waste your time or money here. Left here got better treatment and food at McDonald's than what was given at this hole in wall. The city of gulf shores should be ashamed to have this establishment in their town. read more

Got right in and we were promptly greeted by Kenyatta, our server. She was spot on and very friendly. She really made our experience even better!! The food was fast and great! We got into the restaurant at 9:00pm on a Thursday evening. Great experience. read more

The most unfriendly staff I have ever met. The bar tender was more concerned with her phone than the customers. Our waitress was absolutely awful. Made us feel very unwelcome. My husband was served a beer with dirt floating in it. Our waitress could have cared less. No "sorry" or anything from the staff or managers. The food sucked!! read more

stopped tonight with my wife to have drinks and watch Monday night football After being ignored For 22 minutes we left. never stoping again. money out the door so many better places read more

Service was OK. Wings were the worst I ever had at a Hooters. Tasted like they were cooked yesterday. The place wasn't busy.

Walked in and got seated right away. Our waitress did a great job! Checked in on us frequently. The wings were delicious!! I get them naked (not a fan of the breading), and the flavors were hot & garlic parmesan. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of the men's restroom. Absolutely disgusting. Smelled like urine and trash everywhere. Very off putting. read more

Worst Hooters I've ever been to. Like a McDonald's with the ice cream machine always broken conveniently. Signs on all patio seating stating they're short staffed and can't sit outside. Can't sit outside on a beach front Hooters? Come on now. Wait staff not the most friendly folks you'll meet. Wings cold, tater tots had little to no toppings, and refills were so slow. Oh and the frozen drink maker was out of order too. read more

Sat there for 15 minutes and you wouldn't even greet us. Please sucks and miss managed. Not friendly what so ever. 10/29/23, 7:10pm... also not sports games on. Just terrible read more

Annual visit for lunch. Service was good, as expected. Food was a bit off this time. The chicken was a bit tough and chewy. The buffalo shrimp was nice and crispy. It was overall an okay visit. Until next year ...... read more

Let me start by saying that my wings on this particular evening were some of the best wings I've ever had. Unfortunately everything else was the worst. The staff included a bartender, a server, a cook and 2 managers. The 5 of them outnumbered the guests when I arrived. This location closed at midnight. I sat at the bar at 10:30p. The bartender made several comments about being stuck there before she finally poured me a beer, leaving the empty glass from the last person in front of me. I finished my beer and stared at my glass for 15 minutes while she stared at her phone. At 11:30 I finally spoke up and asked for another beer then asked if I should order food since I knew they closed soon. She said, "sure" then walked away. 10 minutes goes by and she reappears and I spoke up again and asked for a menu which was covered in food. At 11:45 she finally takes my order. By the time I got my food it was after 12. I asked for celery and she actually looked at me with a straight face and said the kitchen was closed. I thought she was kidding. I said for celery? She repeated, the kitchen was closed. I told her I didn't want the celery cooked. She just went back to her phone and ignored me. When I heard that Hooters was closing 40 locations I prayed that this was one. It's a shame because they are located across the street from one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. The 2 managers were nowhere to be found but I quickly realized that they were only there to fulfill some strange mid life fantasy not because of their passion for wings. Sad to say that the service industry is dead and this Hooters is leading the way. read more

Terrible. We waited for over an hour and did not get our food. The waitress excuse was our kitchen was backed up. Problem was food kept coming out that was ordered 30 minutes plus after us. The head waitress just sat at the bar and chatted with regulars and the manager was no where to be found. Poor management and poor service. read more

Watched people come and sit and never be helped. Several walked out. Waitresses went into the bathroom with each other or outside, sat with patrons and dismissed any customers that came in. unbelievable. We actually did receive our food...cold, would not go back. read more

This must be the worst establishment in all of gulf shores. The staff are a bunch of brain dead zombies that have no idea what's going on. Half the staff is standing around at the bar and the other half are outside sitting on the deck completely ignoring the customers. Everyone and everything about this location was gross, greasy, and disgusting. read more

My husband and I travel often and we like to visit a Hooters on every trip and I'm sorry to say after this experience we've questioned continuing that tradition. Our server Amanda was fantastic however there was another girl, Destiny, who ruined our experience by constantly yelling at fellow servers (assuming she wasn't the manager on duty since she was clearly wearing the sever outfit). She seems to use any and everyone there as a scapegoat for her own short comings. Service from Amanda was a 5/5, overall service as an establishment would be a 0/5. Our food and drinks came out as we ordered however the quality was subpar. Not sure if the oil in the fryers were bad or what exactly had happened but as for the food that would be rated a 2/5. I'm leaving the rating overall as 1/5 because along with all of the above, it was simply dirty. Bathrooms needed attention, floors were super sticky, everything looked like it needed to be throughly cleaned. That being said, we did question continuing our tradition but we will continue on and hope we NEVER run into another experience like we had here. read more

Oh where do I begin! Our waitress Caroline was, I'm sorry to say, one of the worst ever. She acted like she had never seen the menu, could NOT get our drinks correct. As expected, our order was messed up. She appeared to be in no rush AT ALL and just disappeared often. High? Don't know but it seemed like it. I hate it, but will not come back here again. Ever. read more

I don't get the same love of the wings as I used to because they don't have the same crunch and ooompf that they did and even the basic sauce has changed. I do like all the newer additions of choices of wing sauces with the General Tso's being my new favorite. They got rid of srteamed clams which is a bummer but they've added some new sandwiches and other stuff that give you more choices. The service here can be kinda hit or miss while sometimes being jterric and others just okay but that doesn't trump the whole food experience. The overall atmosphere is what you expect from a Hooters with great TV's for the game and comfortable seats and cold beer. Overall this is a great Hooters location right across the street from the beach and close to everything beach. read more

Consistency is great. The wings were even better than we have been getting in Oklahoma lately! The curly fries were perfect! The service was fast and friendly, even though they were pretty busy. This is one of the smallest Hooters I have ever seen. (insert chuckle here) However, the worked with the space and provided fast and friendly service without making you feel rushed. The kitchen is open so you can see your food being made like in the early days of Hooters. This was a really cool throwback! read more

Our server was nice and tried really hard, but the bartender sucked and was setting all the servers up for failure. Everyone in the kitchen was walking around confused and not accomplishing anything. Took 45 minutes to get drinks. We all had to order and eat at different times due to so much confusion. Food was ish, salty & cold. It wasn't even busy, maybe 1/2 full. read more

Ordered 3 orders online at hooters.com located at 300 E Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores, AL 36542 and paid online today 7/4/2024 to be ready by 5:44 pm. Sent DL and all 3 cards used to pay and the server refused to give 2 of my orders to my husband because he did not know everything ordered. He had my name in which the order was placed in, my drivers license, and all 3 cards used. After they got the food, 15 min later they informed him I had ordered onion rings in which they did not have and refused to take them off my bill and told me via the phone I would have to get a REFUND ONLINE MYSELF. They did not offer a replacement or my money back. Very BAD service and unacceptable customer service. read more
