The atmosphere is pretty much what you'd expect from a Hooters--nothing particularly special, but not bad either. We started with the fried pickles, and they were delicious! They had a great pickle-to-breading ratio, so they were both crispy and still had plenty of pickle flavor. I ordered the steamed shrimp, which was good, but nothing that really stood out. My mom got the buffalo shrimp, and we both felt the same way--it was tasty, but not especially memorable. We also shared an order of fries, and those were excellent with a perfectly crispy texture. Overall, it was a decent meal. Nothing wowed us, but we enjoyed it. We might go back someday. read more

Food is great everytime, the servers are just lovely to look at, and do their job well It's a Win for me read more

Great service with Taylor. She was wonderful and took care of the young boys as well. Great having a celebrity like Frank Thomas there Would be great for you to met him if you walked around from table table, and said hello and good for his brand too Putting him at the end of the restaurant dinner lot for people to circulate and get to see his products or meet him. I suggested to have them front. read more

Been to many Hooters locations with my family & Sarasota is the best. Service and food quality is great. Many large Screens on the patio to watch the game. The Salads are remarkably fresh also. read more

This used to be a favorite spot to eat and have drinks but clearly not anymore. This is the second time it's happened where it wasn't very busy and we were given waters and asked immediately to order and we asked for a minute and the waitress/bartender outdoors never comes back even after we've made eye contact a couple times ... maybe it's some weird rule to scare people off idk. We hadn't been back in a few years so decided to try it again and the service is just not the same. We hadn't been back our two year old with us who was beyond ready to eat and Eve tha didn't get her attention so we left and probably won't be back and other families should think about it too. Basically if your not a guy there to oggle over waitresses in tight clothes and tip them well (which we always tip well) then dont waste your time going to just be ignored read more

It is hooters. You get what you expect. Wings are decent but overpriced. Fries are good. Lots of tvs for games

3 stars because 2.5 wasn't an option. The most average hooters experience. Food was average and consumable, waitress had the personality of a mortician. read more

Recently went to Hooters with my son and husband because we just wanted to grab a bite. We have gone to Geckos which is increasingly disappointing and Chili's and Applebee's have all become overpriced for the quality and portion sizes. I forgot how much fun Hooters is. Growing up there was a huge stigma instilled in me by my parents against the objectification involved it the whole premise of it but I don't think that really holds up these days. The girls are all very lovely and their outfits aren't that skimpy considering how lax everyone has become in the way that people dress. The food is consistently good and pretty fresh. You always know what you're going to get when you go there and you don't have to pay $25 for a burger and curly fries. Great portions and fun for all. read more

Always fast and friendly service! Very accommodating for service animals, even brought her water since it was hot outside! read more

As far as Hooters go... this place is Solid. Good service and solid Hooters staples. If you like Hooters, this is your spot!

Tonight is my lone day off before a long work week. I've worked in the restaurant business and industry for 28 years. I value service and character above all else when I chose to dine somewhere. I love Hooters and have numerous options in the St. Pete/Clearwater area. I passed up 4 other Hooters locations alone to come make my visit to Hooters of Sarasota. Bartender Melissa has been taking care of me for a couple years now. Hooters prides themselves on having employees of strong character and values. Her service to me as a guest has been exceptional and friendly. I am extremely picky about what bartemders/servers I sit with regularly anywhere. I have to vibe with them and they must be genuine. She fits the bill. I'm always made to feel welcome by her at this location. If it wasn't for employees like her I'd chose to go elsewhere. I work two jobs and work very hard for my money. I chose to spend it where I feel I'm appreciated and my patronage is as well. Along with being a 2023 Calender girl and personal friend employees like her she should be valued. Theres a lot of trash servers at casual dining establishments. The good ones deserve to be recognized. I honestly wouldn't come back here if it wasn't for girls like Melissa and Sloan. Thank you.

I never thought I would take my family to Hooters. In my mind I've always thought of it as a bar/restaurant for guys. I was so wrong! We ordered wings that were fantastic I have to say some of the best wings I've ever had. Fried pickles were perfect you definitely get more than your moneys worth. The hamburger could've used a little more flavor but it was delicious. My daughter had the Philly cheesesteak unfortunately it was a little soggy. The waitress was great the atmosphere was great and I will definitely go back. It cost around $50 for three people to eat And that included two beers. read more

Let me start out by saying I like Hooters. I've been taking my kids to this Hooters since they were little and they had kids eat free on Saturdays. Now that my kids are older, they still like going to Hooters when they're in town. That may never happen again. Last night my son and I were trying to decide what to eat. I'm undergoing cancer treatment so I don't get out much and hadn't been out to eat in awhile. So my son mentioned Hooters. We could sit in the patio area if it wasn't crowded. We got there and found a nice table in the corner. The waitress came out and asked what we wanted to drink. I ordered a glass of wine and my son ordered a beer.(he's 25) She asked him for ID and then told him it was expired (or fault. Expired three days ago) so he ordered a Pepsi. When she came back with his drink, we ordered an appetizer. Twenty-five minutes later, someone from inside the restaurant ran out with our mozzarella sticks. We had no plates or silverware which I pointed out to him. He got nasty and said he just wanted to get the food out to us and she should've brought them. He must've said something to her because she ran over with the plates. She took our food order. The mozzarella sticks were ice cold. Our food came out a little bit later. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and fries and my son ordered a chicken sandwich. Apparently Hooters doesn't serve a pickle with your sandwich anymore. Maybe they ran out and couldn't hike down to Publix. I don't know. I took a bite of my sandwich and it tasted like they used it to clean the grill. Gross. My son picked up his sandwich and had to wait for the grease to finish running out. The fries were good tho. We didn't eat much, they did take the appetizer off the bill, but I won't be back. I'm going to have to say that management is the problem. And yes, the music was much louder than I remember. Spend your money elsewhere. There are so many better restaurants in the area. Gecko's is right across the street. read more

We go to this Hooters pretty frequently, maybe once a month or so. I always have consistently good food, good service, and clean restaurant. Really enjoy the atmosphere. They're social distancing by blocking out booths and limiting seating during COVID and everyone wears a mask. Outdoor seating is of course available too. It's your typical hooter's restaurant and never disappoints me. read more

If was fine The Western BBQ Burger I had for lunch today was fine. It was a tasty burger with a side of BBQ sauce, plated with a couple of giant deep fried onions rings. My side of coleslaw was also pretty good. While it wasn't a massive amount of food, it was enough for a good lunch, and priced ok. My server did a good job, checking on me and even giving me a soft drink to go at the end of my meal. I like the place, it has a good sports bar feel with lots and lots of TVs. It was reasonably busy today, good for the off season. read more

WOOF, and I wouldn't have even fed this to my dog. Got a to-go order about a week ago and it's still haunting me. Usually they're pretty on top of their stuff so maybe it was just an off night? My boneless bites came without the medium sauce I wanted on them and they gave me some side sauce that honestly tasted like melted butter (terrible). Then after moving the boneless wings around I saw they were sitting in a pile of grease. My stomach was so turned I couldn't eat anything the rest of the night. read more

I've been coming to this Restaurant for 25 years. And it has always been a great experience. Tonight, topped it. after a long grueling sales trip, I needed a break. Sat at the bar and ordered a drink and the Buffalo Shrimp. Fabulous! But more so, was the service. Melissa greeted me with the biggest smile when I came in! She was the most friendly person l've met working there! she was so nice. Made me feel special! And to watch here wait on the other people she was serving was amazing! you can tell she is a wonderful person, inside and out! She made me forget about my work on the road, and I'm ready for the rest of the week! Thanks so much Melissa! You made my WeeK!!!! read more

Food poisoning from Oysters. Although this is the time to eat oysters (colder water) Ate them on Sunday afternoon. Still sick !!!!

This place was super busy when we got there with our team, parents and siblings. The Manager John was super attentive, made sure everyone was sitting, and brought us the super and delicious cold pitcher of beer. He did a great job at managing and extremely busy time. read more

Great food and great service with a clean bathroom. I learned that the manager who stopped by was John, the General Manager. He was very personable and wanted to make everything was perfect, and IT WAS! Thank you! read more

This review is solely for the manager of the location. There was a restaurant full of people watching the LOCAL Tampa Bay Lightning Playoff game, and the manager would not turn on the sound. Clearly this establishment does not support local sports as the manager said they will only turn on the sound for "important" games. Will not be going back here to watch any sporting event. read more

I have to say, I was really stunned at how good the service was at Hooters. So I didn't want to walk away without adding a review. The wings were great, the waitress, Kailee was really great. Do it was an all-around excellent experience. read more

Undercooked chicken sandwich... got home and it was disgusting. Pink center. I had to throw it into a pan and recook it. Half the staff is not wearing a mask, so not Covid friendly at all. I would highly recommend eating elsewhere read more

I am not a Hooters fan at all but this one in Sarasota is pretty good, I must say. The staff is all very "friendly" and their wings are actually not too bad. They also have some good beers on tap. Besides that this is a typical Hooters with regard to ambiance and decor. Bottom Line: Great place to swing by for a good beer and a couple wings. read more

I come to this hooters even though there is another one closer to my house because of bartender Melissa! She is always so friendly and makes me feel like I'm at home. She is definitely an assett to this hooters. read more

Great wings! Hot fresh and big! The restaurant was clean and service has been good. We got buffalo chicken sliders which have pickles (we ordered without and they came with no pickles) they are served with curly fries (which we love). The medium sauce is good has flavor but isn't too much. If you like spice go hotter. Price was reasonable and food was good. We even had left overs read more

Some reviews don't always agree with others. But im not bashing but it be nice to be able to get a staff member to check in ya not alot but once in a while. read more

Staff was super rude ordering food. Was undercooked when I got it, was just about the only bad hooters I've ever been to. Don't recommend

My family decided to order 50 wings to go for dinner from this location and when we got home we noticed our wings didn't have a lick of sauce on them and we were only given two condiment cups of the medium sauce for all 50 wings! Maybe if it was only 20 wings the cups would be fine but we had 2.5x that amount of wings. read more

Wow, terrible management! My pregnant wife ordered some medium wings for pick up. When we got home, we saw they weren't tossed, and the sauce that came with them was orange oil, it didn't even taste like wing sauce. My wife called and the manager rudely told her that's just how the 'medium' sauce is, it's butter based. She said they were supposed to be tossed at the store, and that she's gotten them before and always liked them. The manager said that if we drove all the way back, he would toss our cold wings in the same disgusting sauce he already gave us... Short story: pregnant wife crying and hungry, manager doesn't give a damn about the customer. STAY AWAY!!! read more

Greeted me at the bar and asked for drink order. Not bad. Sat for 10 minutes with a menu in my hand but never asked for food order. Set menu down but still no attention given to me. I came here with the intent to eat but will go elsewhere. It's difficult to teach young kids how to give good customer service but such an important part of business. read more

Horrible experience! Where to start.... Headed to Hooters to meet with some family members from Ohio. We no longer have Hooters in Ohio and now I know why. We chose Hooters because we used to like the food and we knew we could watch the NFL playoffs. We got there early, got a nice table and that's where good service ended. First, the music was sooo loud we couldn't talk. After asking 3 times to turn it down, waitress told us the volume was 'broken'. Ok, this is where a good (or even halfway decent manager) would have come over and explain it to us or just turn it off! Next; it's game time. There are 37 TVs in the place and it's the NFL playoff to determine who goes to the Super Bowl and only 2 TVs tuned to the correct channel. We ask the manager to turn the TVs to the game and they tell us they can't and proceed to respond completely rude to one of our party - we are not 20 year olds, we are responsible middle-aged people and there is no reason for these people to be combative to customers! The large man dressed in. Black who was just standing around most of the day continued to mouth off to us after we asked for the TVs to be tuned to the right channel and returned to our table. Next , I asked the thin older manager dressed in a blue shirt if he could put the games on and he tells me they are not a sports bar and only play the super bowl, Tampa Bay and Lightning games -really buddy? We'll can you at least turn the music down so we can talk? He walks away. No wonder hooters is struggling. This guy should be fired-and I haven't even got to the food!! There's an older gentleman sitting in the back eating and having a glass of wine while one of the waitresses sits with him the entire time - I feel like I'm in a strip club. My wife orders wings -all drummies. She gets 10 all flappers. The waitress did correct the order but, I would think a manager would remove that from the bills for having to wait of a new order. By the time my wife received her order, everyone else was done eAting. My recommendation, spend your money somewhere else. You can't continue to blame everything on Covid- this is just incompetence and people not taking pride in their work. This manager acted like we should be lucky to get anything from them. Where's your pride man?! read more

Hooters - Tiny Wings & Legs! - Sports Bars Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Had to go to my wife's bank in Sarasota so figured we'd get some wings at Hooters. Been there dozens of times but not during Covid. They had a new girl in training which is why my ordered was wrong but the one thing that really was disturbing was the lax concern and enforcement of social distancing and wearing masks. Had a couple sit right behind us with Open table set up. One hostess wearing a mask below her nose. Also its common sense to take off your mask when you are seated and stationary but when customers are walking. Y you constantly to the restroom and no one addresses it, then this becomes a primary concern. Service was great but got a thumbs down for this reason. read more

Don't go to this hooters. The one in pt Charlotte I'd say better. The people are way nicer. Our server Emily at the Sarasota location was totally rude to us. It was like she had some type of chip on her shoulder. Anything we would ask her she would just say whatever you say. No hello no nothing. We still tipped 20% but we were just trying to not be rude like her. read more
