C'mon! Where else can you see live fish and shoot laser guns by day and nosh on wings and crab legs by night, all pretty much on the same property?! With Bass Pro Shops and Hooters it's a veritable one-two punch of family entertainment and refreshment! :-P It's been years since I'd been to a Hooters, so I wasn't expecting the "newer" style wings. I recall that in days of yore the wings came out with the drummies and flappers still attached to one another. Now, they're separated. This saddens me because that's what *all the other* wing joints do. Used to feel good that Hooters had this culinary way to separate itself. Alas, no longer. That said, I do like the light breading on the new wings. And they weren't overcooked to a leatheren crisp like the wings I've gotten lately from the place with the talking spokes-bison. I meant to eat ten and ate twenty! And the parm garlic and lemon pepper rubs are both winners. The crab legs didn't impress, though. The legs were tiny and the shell had no snap--more typical of the cheapo crab you get at AYCE buffets. (Here's another chance to stand out, Hooters!) Clam chowder is good and has a lemony tang. read more

Nice atmosphere at Hooters in Portage. Inside looks like it's been newly renovated and looks fantastic! There are 25+ TVs on the wall playing all your favorite sports. Boneless wings were very good and they were running a special buy 10 Get 10 on any wings. read more

This place has gone to shit. It was amazing when it opened. Now it's terrible. We paid for my wife's beer and stale nachos and left.

In the Portage (Valparaiso) area from California for a few days and decided to grab some of my favorite wings, beer and smiles before heading home. Couldn't have had a better visit. The wings were on point as always, but the star of the show was most definitely Andy. She was so friendly with the most amazing smile ever. And when I was ready for my second beer, she was ready to pour. Andy is the best bartender I've "ever" had!!! She's awesome. Thanks Andy:) read more

The low ratings are not fair. The food and service are amazing. Great atmosphere and clean!

The nite before throat surgery, i wanted seafood for my last meal, tried hooters, my order was crab legs, with baja shrimp tacos. They didn't have taco shells, i could have my tacos without shell, but no tacos. Very disappointed, crab was good though read more

Service is garbage consistently. Give 4 visits to hope it gets better, I do love the smoked wings but enough is enough

I don't know what I was expecting but the food is mediocre at best. The waitress was nice. Service was a tad slow considering the restaurant was mostly empty. read more

Please boycott this location until Jill is fired! I can't believe the people they have as 'management' there. Jill was obviously under some influence others customers at surrounding tables also commented. We were clearly targeted by Jill! Sad day for the waiter, we paid for the drinks we got and left instead of spending hours as we had planned to watch UFC and have dinner and drinks. We did order appetizers with our drinks, they came but we never got plates, napkins, or silverware after our encounter with Jill. Ohhhh and the bathroom floor was soaking wet - pee or water whatever it was gross I didn't even use it! Sooo much more even with our simple drink order even, just know this place is not worth the time and definitely does not deserve your hard earned money! Mike B, the fact you referred to the cleanliness over the way your staff treats your guest is laughable and the reason I will NOT attend this establishment again. read more

Hooters - Gross bathroom floor - Chicken Wings Near Me - Portage, Indiana

Love this location! Best bar and staff in the area!! Great amount of large TV's so you can watch everything you want wherever your sitting! Only wish they didn't have a 2 big beer max. And they will check everyone's id even if you look 100! Not a big deal. Love this place and will stop every time I'm in the area! read more

Just want to say the service is as great as the food I had Texas quesadillas, so good Joanne was my server, so wonderful very nice and attentive to all my needs thanks for being awesome Joanne I will be back. What a great place I'm in from California and showed up with my friends and definitely recommend portage hooters for everyone. read more

Service is bad. Both the greeters at the door and my waitress made me feel unwelcome and unwanted. There was no "hi," "welcome," or even a fake smile. I apologize I inconvenienced you by showing up. My food took too long to make it to my table. When it did, my waitress put it down on my table without saying a single word. Not one! There was no "here you go" or "enjoy." Bathroom is disgusting. See photos. What positive things I can mention? The TV are nice. read more

Food was subpar. Service was fine. We learned this is a corporate location, not a franchise. Don't come here expecting your typical hooters fare and girls. You won't find that here. No 911 sauce no chipotle bbq cold tiny wings. Beer and drinks took forever to come. read more

Man, the Tuesday night waitress is so rude and disrespectful. I Will never tip this type of person or actions. Terrible

Very friendly staff and great happy hour deals! Food and drinks were quick and yummy too

Portage Indiana Hooters had a wonderful atmosphere good service but the food was below grade and way overpriced I did not enjoy it at all eating there I will not go back again until they learn how to cook and the price goes down read more

Was just at this restaurant and we stood at the door waiting to be seated for about 15-20 mins without even being acknowledged. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. Literally only one family at a table. The other few patrons were all sitting at the bar. We saw several employees and they saw us as well. Still no acknowledgment. We eventually walked out and left. read more

Took big shit nice toilet paper and good enclosed stall, had a broken toilet seat but it was still comfy overall 9.5/10 read more

This was my first visit to this location. Although the staff was overall nice, there were quite a few issues with my visit that outweighed the good. When we arrived we were pretty much seated immediately, but since they only have up to 6 seat tables and we had seven they Sat us at a high stool table and a low seat table close to each other instead of 2 four seat low tables that were available and we could have pushed together. We ordered regular drinks , 1 alcoholic beverage, pretzels and cheese, and fried pickles as appetizers along with kids chicken tender meals first. The kids meals were delivered(without the fruits cups or sauces) and the appetizers were delivered, everything was hot and delicious. Alcoholic beverage came right when appetizers arrived. We asked for the fruit cups 4 times through out our time of waiting 35 minutes for our order of 50 wings and fries and Fish and Chips (Waffle fries) . The wings, fries and Fish and Chips were barely warm, no waffle fries , they gave me curly instead. Bought out fresh hot waffle fries but fish was sent back and remade, so had fries without fish. Wings not back so we all nibble on the waffle fries. Still no fruit cups for the kids. One order of Buffalo medium wings (25) bought out but no fries, and the other 25 wings was Parmesan and Garlic. Had finished all the Buffalo wings before fries and Parmesan wings were bought to table. They remade everything, which was good bc it truly made a difference in how the food tasted. Still no fruit cups. When the food comes back, it is hot and delicious! Still no fruit cups. Fish and Chips hot (very greasy) but good! I think they may have been short staffed, but the experience was not what we were hoping for. And the food in stages took away from the overall experience. Although it was good once remade it was disappointing because we didn't get to taste and try the way we wanted to. read more

Still same story the hooters flavor is wrong and the wings sizes r cazy small go to hooter in Lansing and you tell me itsnot the same or got to Chicago they got it all wrong here read more

This was a solid "meh" from me. The waitress was slow and uninterested in serving us. The chicken wings were really freakishly large and you would think that would be a good thing but I wondered what kind of steroid fed yard bird I was eating. They do have a good beer selection. It will probably take me 8 to 12 months to forget this experience and go back again. And, why oh why did they take the steamed mussels off the menu? read more

This is a Hooters by name alone. I've eaten at Hooters all over the country, this one looks and tastes nothing like the others. I actually asked our waitress why everything was different, she had no explanation. The wing sauce is different, the cheese for cheese fries is different, it was microwaved queso dip. Even the menu doesn't match up. I'm guessing this is some franchise that just paid for the name. If you're looking for below average wings this is your spot. If you're looking for Hooters wings, do not go here. I will say, our server, Sasha, was excellent. Right on top of it without bothering us. That was the only bright spot of our visit. read more

Was feeling a little deflated went to hooters got instantly inflated am I right Jessica would should hang some time if ya catch ma drift the wings were terrible but the ladies made up for it am I right shorts could be a lil bit shorter if ya catch ma drift came with my buddy terry he's always been a lady's man if ya catch ma drift he orders the ribs witch I thought were frankly disgusting but ladies really inflated me am I right read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. 1: they said my order would be done within 15-20 minutes. I waited for 55 minutes on a order that was completely wrong. 2: My entire order was wrong ! I ordered garlic Parmesan for my daughter and spicy garlic for myself. I'm lactose intolerant and can't consume dairy. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the bag to 5 tiny boneless Parmesan "wings" and five regular Parmesan wings. I was famished since I waited a lot longer than I was told. And I had to cook, which I was trying to avoid just one time this week. Disappointed customer. Zero stars ! read more

Came in despite our better judgment. First time got sick, second time was great!! This time....have mercy!! Our waitress Sierra was less than pleasant but hey okay. Half way through our meal they turn on the volume for UFC....ALL. THE. WAY. UP. I can't even have a conversation with my husband it's so loud. I asked our server if they could turn it off because it's so loud: she said "no, he's working on turning it down though". 15 minutes later and I'm deafer than I was 15 minutes ago. NEVER. AGAIN. As for the food, meal was hot, fries were cold (as is usual here). The most uncomfortable atmosphere simply because it's sooooo friggin LOUD!!! read more

Natalie "princess" made this trip to Hooters the best I've had in years. It would have been easy to pick out their failings, as there were a couple. But, Natalie was very attentive, very professional, and made our lunch a memorable experience. I hope they model the rest of their staff from her. The food was good, the beer list was good, despite being wrong. But it's the experience during this visit that will bring me back. read more

This is the second time I have been forced to eat there. This time the cook managed to rewrite the Laws of Thermodynamics. I know that is a monumental/universally impossible feat, but he did. Fries were nice and hot as one might expect but the fried chicken parts that pass as boneless wings were COLD. Even the ranch dressing was warmer. When I told a waitress about it she said the manager would give me a discount. And thats where it got worse; I challenged his testicular veracity and so she went and got him. And then I and my guest were summarily kicked out of this dining establishment. Worst Hooters I have been to in this fine country of the United States of America. Not the same as the Hooters you may enjoy locally! Every thing is not the same! They are a Hotters in NAME Only!! Sauce is different and NO Menu's. Its on your phone! Mine was charging in my truck, SORRY. read more

Quick service. Clean facilities. Kid friendly. Polite service. Everything I would expect from a hooters. Basic bar food that's quick to the table. Thanks for the visit! Will be read more

so I was there and no one to to set me said they have no one to put you at a table but there where 5 of them all right in front of the manager this place is sorry i won't not every go back it more important to be on the phone and talking to the boss then make money and feed ppl I would give it no stars but I can't read more

Seems like a lot of drama within the staff. Service can be sub par most of the time. A lot of conversations with staff members taking away there time for the customers experience. Food quality 50/50 at best. If this didn't say Hooters on the front of the restaurant this place would be closed. I don't like giving bad reviews but this place flat out sucks!! read more

Placed an order online for curbside pickup. The order was going to be ready at 4:07pm. Parked at Hooters in the "Hooters to go" section called the restaurant we don't do curbside pick up so I go in. Waited for another 50 minutes. Picked up the order at 5 pm. So I believe order was never fulfilled until I walked into the restaurant. There is a whole bunch of them but I am not sure what they are doing just walking back and forth pulling out the menus and pushing them back in. What a joke!!! If I would have known I would have ordered from Longhorn. As I sat and waited I realized that another customer that picked up food to go - came back in his order was incomplete! Who is the manager of this establishment that allows such foolery!footers! I counted close to 10 of them not doing anything just walking back and forth and looking at their cell phones. read more

Tables were dirty, bathroom is filthy. Worst part is the food. Haven't been to a hooters in awhile , but it has gone way downhill . Food sucked read more

I don't know why we keep trying but about every 6 months we get a craving and order from door dash. Three times they have left out the crab legs. they always miss a side. The person who answered the phone wasn't unkind but stated that they knew we still had part of our order there but that the driver only showed them the ticket for the wings. That didn't explain the missing fries. He said they can't give the food without the ticket. OKAY so you know there are 2 parts to the order you don't ask the driver???? I just can't. He said if she came back he still couldn't release the order if she didn't have the ticket. What a clusterf&@$! Door Dash wouldn't let the driver go back she said so we had to get. read more

We ordered wings and shrimp for takeout. They did not dress either of them when we had asked for hot Buffalo sauce.

This was my favorite hooters to watch sports on the big screen. But the service has really gone down over the past 12 months. They seem to run out of menu items like shrimp or tortillas. Food orders are often wrong or missing items. The men's bathroom? Well. It's disgusting. This is important to people. And it's been like this for MONTHS. I took pictures today as an example. I'll be going to a different location. read more

Food sucked. Chicken tenders had no flavor and were rubbery. Curly fries were under done, first time I've ever had bad curly fries from anywhere. First time I tried hooters and I can say I will never eat here or any other location again. Also the waitress barely paid any attention to our table and messed up our order. read more

We ordered from here for the first time ever. Its incredibly expensive for what it is. Its basically like a Wingstop with smaller portions, nicer buildout, and a billion TV's except twice as much $$. I really don't see the appeal and won't go back. read more

Ordered food online to be ready at 8pm. Showed up at 805pm so I could get in and get out, genius right? Nope. Took until 815pm to "box up" my food. Now for my actual "food"... I ordered my wings extra crispy and extra wet. I'll let you decide by looking at the pictures if they were either. Sike, they weren't. When the hostess opened my boxes there wasn't an ounce of steam that poured out and it looked like leftovers. This was my return to this place after I visited and wasn't greeted or tended to after sitting for 15 minutes. I will drive to Lansing before I come back here. Cooks are trash, food is trash, waiting staff is trash, quite the trifecta they have going on. read more
