    So much foam!!!! Lol
    Eric G.

    Waited 19 minutes at the bar before anyone even looked my way. No one even asked would i like to order. Just kept bagging orders. No one knew how to pour a modelo on draft. Pretty sure this will be my last time coming to this hoots location. Had to come back to say one more thing... if you as a bartender poured a beer and made too much... why would you put the extra in a cup with a lid and then when your customer pays for another beer give them that beer your mistakenly over poured into a plastic cup that sat off to the side for a long time!!! Yeahhh no that sealed the deal. No longer a hoots consumer!

    Not going to lie, we were pretty disappointed in trying this place for the first time. We ordered the 20 piece boneless wings for $17.99, and added the make a meal for $3.29. The fries were good, ranch was good. We chose the bbq flavor and also medium for the wings. They put a lot of bbq, which was good, but the medium wings hardly had any sauce. Also, the wings on top were bigger but on the bottom of the plate had very small wings. They were also cooked a little too long, which made some hard to chew. One wing had a weird bone or hard texture (picture will be attached). I wanted to like this place so bad because I love wings and their hooters medium sauce is amazing. :-(

    The menu.

    Y'all Hoots is like if Hooters and Wingstop had a love child. It's adorable and I love it. So what's the difference between Hoots and Hooters? Well, for one, the menu is downsized. No more burgers, grilled cheese, and you only have the garden salad with the option of ranch or blue cheese. But they do give you the option to make your wings, buffalo chicken sandwich, ect. a meal for $2.99 more - sweet! They also brought back the 5 wing option. Honey thai sauce made the cut on sauces you can choose from, which I was thrilled about because I'll gladly use that on my salad in place of ranch (don't knock it until you try it!). The bar is downsized as well, you're give the option between 3 draft beers, a few bottles, a margarita, and red sangria. Another notable change is the uniform - the white tank and orange shorts are replaced by khakis and orange tees. So, overall, the ambiance is fast-casual. Great for a lunch break or just taking some wings home with you. Hoots is a new concept that i can see catching on! Give it a try, you won't regret it.

    Don't waste time! The servers are rude and know nothing about the menu. Prices are jacked up for no reason. Food took a long time and was cold.

    Got this delicious food here along with their Homemade sangria and it was delicious.

    Okay folks.....my wife and I are huge foodies. We travel the globe eating at new gastronomical…read morerestaurants and had our hopes set high due to the reviews. Well, damnit. (And this review is honest and not like there was a personality issue. In fact, they were super nice there. All of them). But the food fell short big time. The chef focuses more on technique than taste. He uses liquid nitrogen that wows people when the fog spills out from the open kitchen, etc. But when the food arrived both my wife and I thought we had contracted Covid and lost our taste buds. Thankfully no Covid but the plates kept coming with hardly any taste. They served a very rare bird......called a pigeon, swathed in so much curry it left a solid after taste that even the expensive non-impressive wine flight couldn't wash down. (They need a sommelier stat). The chef greets a common table of 16 with an grandiose tale along with each course, trying to spin a good yarn of how his food is a happy dance to your mouth. Pro tip....food should sell itself. And not one person sitting at the communal table was heard saying "wow! This is great!). The only redeeming course was the chocolate ice cream at the end. To top it off, they give you a wrapped hot dog to take home as a parting gift as to say "I'm sorry." I mean, what are we to do with a damn hot dog? Take it home, put it in the fridge and have a soggy hot dog the next day? Oh well....for over $400 for 2 people you can have far better options. Hopefully the chef will get better trained on taste versus presentation. I was so rooting for this place but sadly only walked away with a hot dog that we could have eaten as the first course and the bag itself as the remaining course and it would have tasted the same. Just trying to save you from an expensive night. Go elsewhere and enjoy Chicago!

We ordered the venison burger and, honestly, I was hesitant at first because I was worried it might be too gamey.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Service was attentive and efficient throughout our meal. They also have an impressive selection of signature cocktails.

After we sat down, our server took her sweet time getting to us and was largely absent the entire visit while the servers for the others tables were attentive and present as I've come to expect. We started with the Crispy Brussels and Burrata Toast which was an amazing and fun combination of flavors textures with the sherry glaze and pickled onions providing a perfect counter to the richness of the cheese. Our second course was the Gage Caesar which we've had before and have enjoyed sharing multiple times, but this time the lettuce was full of grit as if the prep chef did not even bother washing the lettuce. The server never came by to check on us so I had to wave the manager to complain about the salad. The server also never checked to see if we wanted refills on our cocktails so we placed our orders with the manager. The final dish was the venison burger which was perfectly cooked and seasoned if you like venison, which I do so we enjoyed that greatly. The condiments that came with it were perfectly matched to balance the game of the meat and the fries were perfect as usual! The server then FINALLY got more involved with our dinner and was predictably perky and present at the end, something that always irks me when they have been otherwise absent for the meal. The ONLY reason they are getting 3 stars instead of less for this visit was the flavor of the food and the response of the manager in dealing with the lack of service (and the gritty salad). I would give the initial server a zero if I could.
