the H(.y.)TERS thread!
Surprised I haven't found a recent Hooters thread in the Dining forum.
Granted the food sux and the atmosphere is tachy... which is your favorite one?
I'm a fan of the local Hackensack Hooters in Northern NJ that just opened... great selection of college chicks working there.
Second favorite is in Fort Lauderdale on A1A... yea the one on 3rd floor overlooking the ocean from a balcony.

If I'm looking to be teased, I don't bother with Hooters. If I'm looking for a beer and a plate of snack food, I don't bother with Hooters. I've been in 2 over a 20 year period. Neither was impressive; not the girls and not the food.

It's chicken wings, not an 8-course meal, y'all. 
Their wings are decent. The eye candy is OK.
I seldom go overall, and I never go when on a business trip.

Been there once, food was mediocre. Girls were cute, but I wouldn't go back by choice. Recently I was in Vegas and stopped by the Hooters Hotel and Casino just to check it out...positively disgusting! 
Girls were not good looking at all, clientle was interesting (imagine the type of people that get excited over $1.99 shrimp cocktail...yeah I'll leave it at that), casino was run-down.

Trust me, you didn't miss much. We only went in because we had to verify some things for the project we were on.

The Hooters hotel and casino in LV is such a joke!
The gals are for the most part rejects from the other hotels,and(not to sound ageist)most are pretty well up there in years,and yet told by management to flirt and be hot,kinda sad actually.
The place was kinda dirty also.No reason to hang out there for me.

I once stopped by one. After looking at the 100% fast food menu, after glancing at the pimply slightly overweight young waitresses and noting the hopelessly dirty tables and floor I realized the local McD was a nicer and far cheaper deal.

I was dragged into the Vegas Hooters and counted at least two waitresses with Bingo Flaps*
Not my idea of a raunchy night out.
* Bingo flaps being the saggy skin betwixt the armpit and elbow most often seen on overweight,elderly women playing bingo.

I found myself in Ft Myers on Valentines Day not wanting to wait at a busy restaurant to eat. I figured that Hooters would not be a place filled with couples like every other restaurant. While it was very busy there was seats at the bar. It was also right across the street from my hotel (decidable plus).
For chain restaurant wings, I'd prefer Buffalo Wild Wings.

I am not a Hooters fan, neither the food nor the staff really make me want to be there. As such, I've only been to three in my entire lifetime.
When I went to one in Houston (US59 and Kirby) our waitress was cute and nice but not very bright. Other than that, my experiences have been, well nothing to write home about.

Hula anyone?
My kids like the local Hooters for the hula hooping and bike riding they can do during dinner, other than that it is unremarkable. I did find it rather interesting once when my husband ordered oysters and they came to the table still in the shell the rather dim waitress was expecting my husband to shuck them himself-without bothering to bring an oyster knife.
