This was the most ridiculous thing I've ever experienced. My bill was $35 for it to go order. I asked for blue cheese of course they did not put that in the bag. Too little piece of celery. That'll totally cost almost 7 dollars. I asked for the wings to be tossed and the shrimp to be tossed in medium. Everything was plain barely any sauce at all. The wings were so tiny that they were absolutely ridiculous and the shrimp was nothing but breading and no shrimp. Hooters is gone way way way down. No wonder why the place was completely dead. I am so sad for them. I will never go in there again. It's disgusting. My boyfriend wouldn't even eat it. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was Hooters because he would've been so pissed off that I spent $35 on that garbage. If I could do less than one, I would certainly do that. read more

The waiters are unhelpful don't not oder fish and chips you will be sick and the food came out cold

Took 20 minutes for someone to notice us at the door. 30 minutes for 2 waters and 1 alcohol drink. The food came out an hour later, cold and our sauces were forgotten. Tried 3 times to get boxes and the bill and we were ignored. The servers give nothing but attitude and sly comments. Horrible place. Should be shut down immediately. read more

All Drums Means All Drums I Paid Extra For It, Take The Time To Fulfill The Order Correctly. The 3 Mile Buffalo Platter was tasty. I used Bleu Cheese and American Cheese as my dips. I did not order Sides I had more wings ! Laughing But Very Serious read more

service was lousy. and it got worse from there. this place has gone WAY downhill! but don't take my word .... go find out for yourself ..... if $100 bucks for (below) average wings/fries and draft beer (overpriced, but cold) for 2 people is your thing, you will love it here. you surely won't run into me there again. good luck read more

If I could give zero stars I would. The waitress was polite and friendly but that's where it stopped. We waited over an hour for 10 wings and a fish sandwich. The fish was almost all breading and no fish. The wings were over cooked and did a superb impression of charcoal briquettes. The fries we got could have been used for nails they were so hard and stale. Not going back. read more

Order food from here about 2 weeks ago called in to them because the food arrived wrong and also cold. They offered a credit which my wife went to redeem today and not only did they not credit us our full amount owed as said she waited over 35 mins at the restaurant for them to bring it out and it was STILL COLD and WRONG AGAIN!! Not only that the manager was rude about it when she let them know that ! Worst Hooters EVER ! I do not recommend eating here unless you want to be disappointed! read more

This is my 2nd time ordering from here I got the same result. The chicken is so black near the bone it's crazy. The fried pickles look like bike tires && everything that's fried is so soggy it couldn't have been just cooked. Terrible will never get my service again read more

Last night I was reminded why I rarely choose to eat out anymore. $25 for 20 wings, ok...but they're about the tiniest little wings you've ever seen, and literally the first one has a giant human hair fully cooked in to the sauce and breading. We were done. Waitress says we won't be charged for the food (which we didn't eat) but still gave us our bar tab. Manager didn't bother to say or do anything. Just kind of a too bad, so sad. No wonder for the two stars. Restaurant looks to be dirty and falling apart. Ripped seats and broken tables. They've given up. Gross. read more

The service there was very very poor the main waitress who seated my wife gave her a Weebly wobbly table and a Weebly wobbly chair my wife was very uncomfortable with how she was treated first they didn't tell us her who the server was or who was going to be her waitress very unprofessional would not recommend this restaurant for anyone I would if there was a half a star I could give I wouldn't even give that the service and or the waitress that was attending us was very good .. but the server and the one that set us down was not the server that we had Brianna we would give her a star five but the others know I in that my wife got sick as soon as she was done eating.. And has been sick sense.... read more

I'm so disgusted by the service provided by Jenna. She ignored me with an empty drink MULTIPLE times while hanging all over some man at the bar, I will not return. 0/10 read more

The food is pretty standard. It was good. The server we had, Madison was great. She was quick polite, attentive friendly and listened to us and got our order right. She checked on us multiple times to make sure everything was good. The atmosphere is typically hooters. The managers and I saw at least three. Never left the kitchen or came out from behind the bar. They never greeted anyone or asked any table how things were. My opinion is fire them and make Madison a manager. read more

I wish that this review I'm about to write was a joke. I've been frequenting the Schererville location just because of the location, but I've started going there because the service has been so bad here the last few times. I used to say that the Merrillville Hooters was much better than the Schererville one, but I guess times have changed. Food is the same at each location, but I would rather have good food and service than just good food. read more

Hooters ain't 5 star dinning but I use to LOVE coming to this bitch. But just like the weather I've changed basically cuz they took oysters OFF THE MENU WTF‼How do you take them off wit no warning and then no ETA when or it they will return. I ONLY came in because my guy said he saw them on the menu so I came in and they weren't available so that pissed me off and I was told they have no idea when and if they will return. So I tell you what Merrillville Hooters as soon as you hit me up and tell me when I can come back and get a dozen on ice I'll change my review but until then it is what it is cuz everybody don't come in for the chicken read more

Hooters - Love me some Hooters!!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

Waited for 20min and no one ever came to even get our drink orders in, and place was slow. Walked out! Shit service

My wife and I stopped at this Hooters for lunch on our way to Chicago. Ok, we didn't just stop in, we actually did a Google search ("Ok, Google, navigate me to the nearest Hooters") and ended up here for lunch. The first thing we noticed when we pulled in the parking lot was two people standing outside with a yellow banner. Some kind of picketing going on, but some of the most docile picketing I've ever seen (read: completely ineffective). No matter, it won't stop us from going in to get lunch. Once inside we noticed the appearance. I've been told that Hooters is doing a lot of updating and remodeling to a lot of their locations, but this is the first one we've been in that had been through the process. New tables and chairs (the high-top chairs have backs on them now instead of being just wooden stools), not so much of a "bare wood" aesthetic, and brighter colored walls greeted us. I was impressed and I like the updates! We were taken to our table and soon our server (Cassandra) came to greet us. Cassandra was great and very attentive (we drink A LOT of iced tea), and hung around to chat a bit. We told her about some of the other Hooters locations we'd been to, and she told us about the "picketers" out front. Apparently some local union was upset because Hooters used non-Union contractors to do the update. Big deal. I don't fall in with the union way of thinking so that kind of thing doesn't carry a lot of weight with me. As long as you're not in my way, I don't care what you're picketing about. I tried the New Orleans shrimp. It had a distinctly gumbo flavor to it and was pretty good, but the balance of the amount of shrimp you get to the four very large pieces of garlic bread left you wanting for more shrimp. Then again, for less than $10, how much shrimp can one realistically expect? All in all it was a good visit, and I really liked the updated facility. Cassandra was GREAT, the food reliable, and the atmosphere was exactly what you expect from Hooters - casual with a sports theme. If we're in the area again, it's a place I'd definitely visit. read more

Where do I even begin. First off the place was a mess, one of the messiest food places I have been to in recent memory. The food was cold and the servers had no ambition to even try to get food out in a timely manner. The waitresses were highly unprofessional (especially Liz). Workers would sit there on phones and sit there talking loudly and about unprofessional things. Good to say I will not be coming back. If I could rate this negative stars I would. read more

Hooters has always been one of my favorite wing joints. Today we stopped at the Hooters in Merrillville, Indiana. They were pretty busy, but we were seated right away. It didn't take long for our waitress to come and get our drink order. My wife had the unsweet iced tea, and I had the tall Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy. What a great beer. Our drinks came quick. We placed our meal order. My wife had the Traditional Wings Hot. I had the Traditional Wings 911. To share we got the Fried Pickles for an appetizer and we also got with our meal a split order of the Buffalo Shrimp. The shrimp come in an order of 12 pieces. Her half she got hot, my half I got the Triple Dog Dare sauce. The TDD sauce is made with the Ghost Pepper and finally, a Ghost Pepper sauce that actually makes my eyes water. I love this sauce on the shrimp. It's smokin hot and is kind of sweet, but it's fantastic! I tried the TDD sauce on my wings, but I didn't care for the sweetness on the wings, so until they come up with a Ghost Pepper sauce that's not so sweet for the wings I'll stick to the 911 sauce. Our overall experience at the Merrillville Hooters was awesome! We didn't have to wait very long for anything. Our waitress was very nice. Just overall a great time. read more

Slowest service and most inattentive waitress ever. Seated at 7:29p and food didn't come til 845p. Mind you it was only 3 of us. For $65 for chicken tacos, a salad, and 20 wings you'd expect better. We were never checked on after being seated either. read more

Nice location if your the right skin complexion. Came in, Spanish as fuck, took me straight to the back after passing all these tables. K, cool " oh we're charging 10 dollars a head after 8 there's a PPV showing. So I gotta go? "Just letting you know what you gotta do" Bet. Bdubs wouldn't do me like this. FACTS. read more

The service was just about as bad as the food. Ordered online for curbside. I added a $5 tip because we thought it would be brought outside to us. I called to ask where to park, she said we do not do curbside. I told them to remove the $5 tip then, I was told they could not. Slipped & almost fell, the floor was very slippery. Our food was damn near raw, was not eatable. Am bringing the food back, I want a full refund read more

Great service! Good value! We ordered smoked wings and regular bone in wings both DELICIOUS! Server was nice and we even got extra wings for waiting a little longer on our smoked wings! read more

It's never a good sign when the person you're having lunch with says, "I sure hope the shrimp doesn't make me sick." Sure, this is a great place to have a beer (great draft and bottle selection) and watch the game on multiple television sets. But, the food is just a little above average at best. This particular hooters is, frankly, dirty. The windowsills are filthy. No big deal, right? I guess not. After all, we're at Hooters and not some white tablecloth place. But, I have to wonder if the windowsills are this dirty, I wonder what the kitchen looks like. And, I just posted a whole review without mentioning butt cheeks or boobs. read more

This place is just horrible. Been waiting for over an hour for our food and it's literally empty in here. Cook guy came out with a loud personal speaker and smelling like cigarettes walking all over the restaurant. So unprofessional. Do not bother read more

Did take out. We just grabbed some appetizers on the go. Food was really good. A bit expensive considering they were just appetizers. Nice to be able to pull up right in front for pick-up orders. Their registers were down that day & apparently they couldn't figure out how to make change. After waiting & waiting, we finally gave up & told them to keep it. read more

the service is horrid, i've been waiting for food for 1 and a half hour. This is outrageous. Do better!

Came here today for lunch. The menu did not have any prices on it which I think is absolutely ridiculous. So I get to see the price at the end??? They need to learn how to wipe down the menus. They were sticky and gross. The rap music allowed to be played in the kitchen drowned out what Hooters had playing for the customers. I'm not sure how management allows this. The boneless wings were way overcooked. I know they used to cut and bread on location but these must have been bagged. These are probably reasons why this location has 2 1/2 stars out of 5. Service was okay and food decent overall. I'm not sure if I'd come back. read more

Waited 20 minutes to be seated because we were told there was a kitchen backup, food came cold and incorrect orders, very disappointing

Just do yourself a favor and don't go to this Hooters location. I love Hooters franchise and am a frequent visitor of Illinois Hooters, however, this IN location does not belong to carry such great name. The food is worse than a gas station tuna sandwich. The portions are much lower than a standard Hooters restaurant, food is soggy and disgusting. I ordered mac'n'cheese to go for my kids and the amount of pasta equals to a small shot. Very disappointed knowing that many travelers will stop here expecting a real Hooters experience and will be left disappointed read more

The worst wings ever. The wings were too tough to eat. I couldnt even enjoy them. They weren't even fresh. I am absolutely upset that I spent that much money on bad wings. Never again. read more

U're not open til midnight if u stop seating or welcoming guest an hour before u close. It would be best to cascade that information so guests know BEFORE making an effort to support ur establishment. Just a thought. read more

I've been coming here for about 25 years or however long they have been open. I moved away 10 years ago but figured it was time I stopped in again since it's been a year or so. This place did not disappoint. The beer selection was great with about 30 selections on draft. Wing were delish, food hot and the girls were smoking hot as usual. When your done scarfing down some burgers or wings, be sure to get a chocolate cake or cheesecake and if your not hungry, get it to go. You'll thank me later. Enjoy! read more

Absolutely horrible service. Won't be driving for uber or ordering personally for anymore. This is what you get I suppose, happy to have a refund from their Uber provider. Get lost. read more

We stopped there for lunch and beers, very good service, we were very well taken care of. Will definitely return.

Hands down the WORST service I have gotten at any restaurant. EVER. Probably shouldn't have sat in the bar. The only thing positive was that food was decent. Our completely check out server, Amy the trainer, took forever to do anything. The place wasn't very busy at all. I've been in a busy Hooters. A lot. This place wasn't busy. I would have spent so much more money on beer but didn't have the chance. I would have stayed all night watch read more

I would like to commend Terezie the FOH manager at this location ,she sat at my cocktail table with my buddy. She patiently listened to some of my suggestions I made from comming to this location for about 3 years now. I've noticed the few times I come here a week that shes is the most engaging and personable manager I have interacted with here. I come back weekly to see my favorite cocktail waitress hanna and bar tender sehi, one day id love to see them behind the bar together! read more

Ordered 4 meals got a mess. BYOB Burger was the patties and bread even tho I asked for everything on it got two kids meals no drinks of course. Not even a sauce for the kids strips. Didn't get any juice boxes. The only thing that was right was the loaded tots. I recommend going in sit down, because the to-go here is a mess read more

Love this place. my favorite place to go for sum good wings. way better than bdubs I'd say. very friendly people and clean place.

This was a decent Hooters as far as food & service is concerned. We were seated quickly. The waitress was cool & pleasant. We got our food quickly and it was fresh & hot. Not old & reheated like alot of them do. The issue was the smell of the place! It smelled like old sour dirty towels. It smelled better in the bathroom!!! It was so bad they lost 2 stars for that alone. They gotta do better there! read more
