Sat at the bar last night and ordered Lotsa Tots, buffalo shrimp, and the oyster steamer bucket. Honestly, the only thing you can never go wrong with at Hooter's is the lotsa tots...but you also can really mess up tater tots. The buffalo shrimp didn't taste completely cooked so I only ate one. The oyster steamer bucket we didn't realize when we ordered we whole oysters that you had to shuck yourself. Half the bucket we couldn't open at all so we asked for them to be steamed more only to just tell them never mind because they didn't taste very good anywas (really gritty). They took them off our bill and gave us french fries for free which was nice and we appreciated that but even the fries were awful. One upside was my drink (Stoli Mule) was excellent and the bartender was very nice. Hooter's just isn't the best. read more

My family stopped to eat here on our way to Disney World. Ok, can I just say Wow! You are seated right on a big ol balcony overlooking the Ocean. I could smell the refreshing ocean and subtle salt in the air. As we were glancing over the deck into the ocean I saw a whale jumping out of the water. Also dolphins too! Amazing! People- I am from Chicago we just don't see these things in the wild. Beautiful! I will never forget it. Oh yeah, food was good too. Tastes exactly the same as in Chicago. read more

This is your typical Hooters, so there isn't too much to say here. Wings were good and the great deals on beer aren't to be missed. Service here, however, isn't the best. The staff was a bit stand-offish and I wasn't a huge fan. read more

Hooters - Deep Sea Fishing PreGame with the Yelp Husband - American Near Me - Madeira Beach, Florida

We have been here a few times over the years and it's what you would think of when going to Hooters. Wings were OK. Nothing to make a big deal about. Mixed drinks are expensive and extremely weak. Beer specials are decent. Place can be busy at times so you may have to wait. Best part is that you are right on the water. (Pass) So the view is pretty cool. The rest is so so. If you haven't been then at least try it and make your own assumptions. read more

Hooter's is...well, Hooter's. But importantly, this one here at Johns Pass is pretty unique and earns it 4 stars. First, its located right at the inlet, about thirty feet above the water. That offers a really view if the passing boat traffic, seagulls and pelicans. Second, a bulk of the restaurant is patio (covered) allowing unfettered view if the water. Didn't go for for the food items, but here for the view and a couple beers. A few platters of oysters were served nearby that looked good. Better options for those elsewhere, but a good choice here given the location and the view. Sit at the bar, sip a few and enjoy. read more

Good atmosphere but very disappointed that meals don't include a side item, I got charged extra for fries for each meal that we ordered and my Buffalo chicken sandwich was dry, I asked for a side of sauce and I got charged $1.10 for it. I have never been in a restaurant like that, I would suggest to change the prices to include a side item and don't let it be a surprise to customers with all extra charges. read more

1st...notice any good reviews were over a year ago....sort the reviews by date...then you will know why the following review is spot on. Sent my friends from Germany to this location, even though I no longer frequent this location, as they wanted wings and to experience a Hooters, the world wide chain. I personally have had less than good experiences at this location in the past. As expected, sadly, they had an absolutely awful experience. Weren't greeted, took forever to get a menu, and the food was sub-par. The restaurant was not busy at all. The ladies room was described by my friend as "the filthiest she has seen in America,"....I am ashamed for allowing them to even go to Hooters..... As a local resident, and a Yelp Elite, I will never, EVER go to this Hooters again, and will tell others to avoid this location (and the location at Tyrone Mall) at all cost. This pisses me off, since I really used to like to go to Hooters in general. What a waste of a great chain....what the hell happened to the original Hooters Seven....they should be ashamed too. UPDATE! So, both times I have written a review about Hooters--- both Tyrone Location and Johns Pass location the manager has left a note on Yelp stating she will be in contact....yet no additional contact occurs. So, management acts a good game on Yelp, but doesn't really follow up with solutions although they say, in writing that they will make contact. Rather fishy....... read more

Made our first visit to this location. Vikki was our server. She and the rest of the ladies were AMAZING! I had my son with me....they took pictures with him, autographed his shirt and really made his whole vacation. Such a fun place to hang out for all ages :-) read more

The absolute WORST Hooter's I've ever been to!!! The WORST service; starting with the ladies at the hostess stand! We were a party of six with 2 toddlers & the hostess told us that they only had one 'high' high-chair available (apparently the others were being used). Come to find out from a "manager" (only after asking her if they actually had more because we didn't see any other tables using high-chairs) that they only had the one. The only tables to accommodate a party our size were the high tables yet they only had one 'high' high-chair...that's crazy. This is a tourist location, where people vacation with their children so why in the world would you only have ONE 'high' high-chair at this location? With most Hooter's I've been to you're welcomed with a smile & friendly faces. Not this one...so if you want to continue to have a fun time on the boardwalk try another restaurant. At least maybe you'll feel like they want you business. read more

We enjoyed an absolutely fantastic meal last night at Hooters John's Pass during a visit from NYC. The service was perfect -- attentive, friendly, and helpful -- and the food was very tasty. It was my first time trying Hooters' wings, and now I know what all the fuss is about! The place was hopping and festive, and had a nice mix of families and singles -- though it was busy, the service was prompt and efficient. Next time I plan to try the great looking outdoor seating with a view of the water, and will leave room for Key Lime Pie. :) read more

Staff was very accommodating of my health requirements (recent accident) and made me feel like a part of the Hooters family. A lot of complainers out there in the reviews section, but this location has the utmost respect for patrons unlike many rude reviewers. read more

Auna was an excellent example of the perfect server. Great work!! And she's a local, too.

Chicken was a tad greasy but my simple salad was great and a few curly fries ha! The view is amazing with dolphins and big boats with people fishing and playing in the water under the warm FL sunshine read more

I know it is funny to review a chain restaurant, but it is in a popular tourist area. Also, sometimes when you are out and about, you think, "oh let's go to this chain restaurant because we know what to expect." The reason we ended up at this Hooters is that my husband loves Hooters wings, and we had just gone for a little ride out to the beach/Johns Pass and decided to get something to eat. It was the day after Thanksgiving and a lot of people were sitting at the bar, including us. There was only one bartender, who was in the weeds the entire time.It took ten minutes to even greet anyone new who sat down. I am not blaming her, I am blaming management as they should have two people scheduled for a bar that big on a busy Friday. Also, a manager came out, and didn't help her. We thought he should have at least bussed for her and or had someone else bussing for her and pitching in. I ordered the naked Daytona style jerk wings. They were fried beyond belief, not finished on the grill (which is what their Daytona style is) and the "rub" was just some seasoning dumped on them after they were cooked. Probably some of the worst wings ever. Also, I ordered an 8 piece all drums and it came out 10 piece mixed. The order ticket was correct, so the kitchen messed it up. I did not send it back because I didn't want to wait, and quiet frankly I am always concerned about sending food back and getting something nasty done to it (I have seen "Waiting"). I ate five and explained what was wrong then asked the bartender if she could just charge me for the five, but she took the whole order off our bill, which was nice. My recommendation is that if you are out at Johns Pass, and want to get a quick drink and a bite to eat, go to one of the other places on the boardwalk or down the street. read more

Disappointing. I generally like Hooters, but the kitchen at this one is poorly managed and not up to par. Great location though.

I don't know how this place has so many negative reviews. I've been there several times and was never disappointed. Let's start with the amazing view of the water. I always sit outside and enjoy looking for dolphins. The girls (servers/bartenders) have always been friendly and efficient. The food is great! My hubby and I always order their shrimp with sweet chili sauce and some hot wings. A pitcher of cold beer quenches our thirst. Have accidentally gone there on "Football Sundays." Each of their many tv's is broadcasting a game. It's a bit loud (main reason why we try to avoid sport bars on those days). The fans seem to have a blast and it's always been friendly and people kept it classy. Outside tvs do have a lot of glare, but there are plenty inside for those who really want to watch. Will be definitely back again and again. read more

The food was good, but the service was horrible. We had a girl with long blonde hair, that kept forgetting everything. She didn't bring utensils until I was almost done feeding my 2 year old. She never came by to check up on us and it took forever to get the check. At this point you probably think that the place was full...it was't. It was empty. There was a few tables occupied and the bar was full. There were enough waitresses around to service everybody on a timely fashion. On a good note, on the way out I asked the hostess to take a pic with my son, and they were all for it. The girls were really nice. read more

Well, I'm trying to find something positive to say other than the location is great and our waitress was great, because she was. The food was awful. Like, beyond awful. We were over at Johns Pass for the afternoon to do something outside on a cold (for Floridians) day. I wanted to see some dolphins so we decided to come over and be tourists for a day. We were hungry and since we haven't really eaten at many places at Johns Pass outside of the Friendly Fisherman (we brought them our own catch and they cooked it for us), we decided we would hit up Hooters. I got boneless wings and he ordered regular. These were the smallest boneless wings I've ever seen. I'm trying to think of something to compare them to in size....a little bigger than a quarter maybe? I should have taken a picture as proof. We've been to places before that passed a chicken nugget off as a boneless wing, and these were worse than that. Both of our orders were also an actual, physical representation of an oxymoron because they were watery and dry at the same time- go figure. We didn't even finish them and paid $30 for crappily frozen food. We were just saying we feel a little cheated out of our money. I'd never been to a Hooters before, but I'd always heard they had decent wings. Can't say I see what the hype is about....don't think I'll be going back ever. The food at Johns Pass is meant for tourists- over priced, poor quality junk. Unfortunately this Hooters falls into the same crate o' crap. read more

Love this location! It was a quiet, early afternoon so we were sat and quickly greeted by our server. We ordered 20 wings, 10 hot and 10 chipotle garlic and an order of curly fries. The wings were delicious but the fries were a little under cooked. Overall it was a nice lunch and the service was great. Will be back! read more

Food was good as most Hooters. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is beacuse of not seeing babes we were disappointed, my wife and I said as we drove by aww let's go to this Hooters it's gunna be full of Hooters being in this beachie area..... Boy were we wrong. This location needs to step up there Hooters casting auditions game. People wanna see T&A at these places. Hooters is gunna get pushed out by wing house if they keep it up. read more

I'm very simple to please, all you need is some good Chicken Breast Strips but guess this location isn't known for that, probably one of the most undercooked and worst breaded chicken strips i've had to date. The waitress who took my order was too busy getting touchy touchy with some guy that looked like her grandfather, like wtf seriously that is not something you'd like to see while you're trying to eat food that's already bad enough. read more

This Hooters has one of the best locations and Definitely some of the worst food we have ever Had @ a Hooters....... our second visit was worst than the first.. Re-cooked Wings , must be managed by a former Wing house group.... read more

We went to Hooters restaurant on 7/5.Our waitress Sabrina,She made a suggestion for a appetisers for us, We had the chicken nachos,wow this was a amazing the chicken was fresh grilled and chopped to cover the huge plate of chips,cheese, sour cream ,guacamole and with perfect chopped lettuce and tomato. Great job Sabrina, with your suggestion and your wonderful service.Kudos to our chef that took pride in serving fresh and presentation of something as simple as Nachos. Lucinda read more

Shockingly good service during a busy Sunday. When comparing this to other locations this is above average for sure.

I NEVER thought I'd four star a Hooters but you really have to give it to this place for making an awesome seaside bar. The view, the atmosphere, the breeze, the not too hot feel... it's all perfect. Beer was cold, friends were good, strangers were nice, and staff was on point. On a foodie note, don't expect anything elevated. Standard Hooters food, I wouldn't recommend it for anything more than a grease trap with the beer. I'll definitely return. read more

Maderia Beach Johns Pass..........I ordered Korean BBQ wings thru ubereats. They sent me 10 dried up fried wings. When I called and got the manager, he said they don't have Korean BBQ sauce and they decided to send me something else !! I told him its on your menu. He told me its not . I told him it would of been nice to let me know. He said call uber. I called Hooters headquarters. Never, Ever again !!!! read more

Absolutely love the Madeira Beach location. It is on the water with beautiful views and excellent sports coverage with their many, many televisions and a fun place to be. The management and staff are very friendly and attentive. I especially like bartender Annelise, who is witty, beautiful and fun to hang out with. She is a credit to the Hooters organization and keeps my friends and me coming back for more! read more

Our server Auna was amazing as was Brigitte our bartender, true hospitality in an industry that is struggling so badly. Thank you ladies, amazing experience. read more

Can't beat this place. Good wings and beer with a great view. You can watch the dolphins and the game at the same time. Wait staff is friendly and the food is always good. read more

Football headquarters my a**. The manager refuses to put on the sound for a football game we are watching. I'm trying to watch the game and have to listen to top 40 music. This is not the first time we have had a problem on Sunday's here either. I guess they're paying John Gruden for nothing. Stay away on Sunday, Monday and Thursdays folks. read more

Horrible service. Take out order completely wrong Not sure even a simple I'm sorry How hard is it these days to offer a simple apology No worries. Just won't go back read more

I asked for extra crispy and got cold and soggy. Waitress took them back microwaved and brought them back. Place feels dirty. My side salad had hardly any lettuce but a ton of croutons. Not a GOOD choice for lunch. read more

Waiting since April 2 for call back. Save your money. This place is a disgrace Management just does not care about tourist. Last time in johns pass I ate at completely different restaurant and enjoyed it very much read more

Brittani Miss congeniality bartender. She likes if you sing Part of your world from Little Mermaid!!! So sing it to her!

A large group of us went to Hooters on Saturday evening and had a wonderful experience. We went again on a slow Tuesday night, and had a horrid experience. Ashley, our waitress brought the wrong food, no food and then tried to overcharge us for items. There was no apology and no proactive visit from a manager. We finally called a manager over who offered a cursory apology and adjusted our bill - which was wrong to begin with. After leaving a small and undeserved tip, Ashley referred to me by a very derogatory name, and made sure that I heard the comment. The food is not good enough to compensate for poor,inattentive service - won't be coming back here ever. read more

The wings are always good, even if they are a little small. Apparently they recently switched to naturally fed chicken, and the size difference is noticeable, but they are cooked just right! Always juicy and tender. Skip the fries and get the tots. They are always spot on! Try the wings Daytona style. They fry them naked and then bake them, and they're great! If you like yours hot, get the 3-mile island sauce or hotter. If you can't stand the heat, the Daytona or chipotle sauces are just as good, but without the pain. Service can be hit or miss at the tables, but it is always great at the bar, inside or out. Great view, and when the weather is nice there's no better place on Mad Beach. read more

Went there with a couple friends of mine. The seating didn't take to long. We sat down and waited at least 25 / 30 minutes for our server to take our order. When she did she was being rude. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and it was undercooked and the fries were not even cooked all the way. Some were soggy and some were cooked. read more

Make sure you ask for Mallory Mill as your server, she was amazing!!! The food and drinks were great, and so was the atmosphere. read more

Food took for ever, never brought utensils out when they served my kids, never checked on us for refills, asked another waitress about giving us utensils and she said they weren't any and were in the washer if we wanted plastic. The place want even full. All out food was late and didn't taste good. Never again! read more

Hostess forgot we were there, acted like we were someone new every time we went to check on our table. People coming in after us were seated and receiving their drinks. We had to ask for a table we found open, they sent someone to clean it and never seated us. We had to go ask if we can sit there, which she said ok. No one came to serve us as people all around us who came after us were served read more
