OKAY, I didn't want to do this but I feel like I have to. The moment I sat down, I thought: "Wow, this place definitely should be YELPed." This was a month ago on a late Saturday night around 10:30PM. My friends and I were thinking of some place to eat. UNFORTUNATELY someone said Hooters. It was my boyfriend and I plus another couple. I didn't mind going until when we got there I was completely appalled! We were standing in the front waiting to be seated for a while until a Hooters girl (without greeting us) says, "Go ahead," giving us the okay to find a seat..? Some girl (understudy hostess?) walks behind us and sits us down then yells to a waitress in the corner. The waitress in the corner shakes her head and mouths, "NO" (because she used her invisible powers) as she continues to giggle with her other waitress friends (also invisible and not working). So the hostess sits us at another table, throws us our menus, and walks away. No one comes to us to take our drinks, say hello, or anything. I look around to my left at the lower tables and cups are empty, customers are looking for their service... it was ridiculous. Finally a waitress from the back licks the bbq sauce off her fingers and walks over to take our order (what happened to "all employees must wash their hands" rule?). She was extremely rude and rolled her eyes at us twice. I felt like I was on TV - like Boiling Point or something. I wasn't sure what the problem was. Was it because we were couples? Was it because our boyfriends had girls with them? You're thinking why didn't we leave. I'm thinking the same thing... Lastly, all I could think about was being Asian (didn't want to use the race card, but I did and you'll see why later). When our food came out (ever so late), two older while males of a heavier-set guys came in with CAPS jerseys. And you betcha - they got royal treatment! They were greeted, spoken to, laughed with, touched (not that I wanted those bbq fingers to touch me...), and you got it - actual service. Actual food: It was alright. First time trying fried pickles and they were good with the dipping sauce. We had loaded tots, but should have gone for the seasoned fries. My biggest problem I have with this experience was the service. I used to be a server and you make your money on tips. As a customer, I felt so ignored and invisible. I wanted to not only undertip her, but underpay. So if you decide to go here: Keep your girlfriends at home and go out with just the guys, don't expect the wings to taste like heaven, and don't expect extremely great service. OR: don't go here. =]

love the new renovations- finally some nice flat screen tvs. the only thing i eat here is the wings- they hit the spot just right. SPICY GARLIC. yummy. their bbq chicken sandwich is pretty good too- nice thick piece of chicken and you can have it with any of the wing sauces: SPICY GARLIC. the girls are cute, & friendly. i come here all the time with my b/f and they do their quick smile & sweet talk.. but at the same time they're smart enough not to harass dudes accompanied by females & i appreciate that.

okay, all I can say about this place is .... "WINGS". In fact, they shouldn't have named it hooters. they should have named it wings. i went in there to try the daytona wings. and damn! they were sensational! Why had I never tried these before? As far as the hooters girls and the service, if you go there by yourself, you will be treated like an invisible man. once you go there with a few more folks, the hooters girls will flock to you bees on honey. I guess they know that several guys = tips. one guy = wing eater. Anyway, went there with some korean natives the other week, and they kept on commenting about how hot the wait staff was. Well, for some reason, I think non-american asians think any thin white chick is hot... i mean, since they are bombarded with fatties 24/7 when they visit the US, anything with blonde hair size 4 and under is like a victoria secret model. it's the ultimate form of beer goggles. But if you're looking for awesome wings try the daytona wings. super uber awesome! Everything at this place is just blech... so they get only 3 stars...

hooters. this hooters moved from across the street. it was there when i was a little kid and always asked my mom what the place was with the owl when we would drive south on the pike. i don' t remember what her responses referred to but they made us curious. it was always something like " that's a grown up place". so around the time we started driving, we started going to hooters and found out that it happens to be a nice wholesome family restaurant with waitresses that wear nerdy shorts and wear lots of make up. they were hot though. it became a friday night ritual throughout high school. so there it is, the old one across the street was awesome, but the new one is awesomer. its like a stadium and they started serving party likker. never really went, or go to hooters at night as an adult because its like amateur night there. lots of idiots on motorsickles and big trucks thinking they are going to find a child bride or something. kind of like fat tuesday or st pats when people get obnoxious. im guilty of that sometimes. however lunch/happy hr time is brilliant. great people watching and cheap swill. sit at the bar and you dont have to get annoyed by the waitresses trying to give you the stripper rap like they are yore best friend. naw. travel in a pack and kill the daytona wings. take in their large and generous tvs. i did get the skitters from eating some of their crab legs once though. id stick to land items. they make a subsidized income selling idiots bleu cheese. be ghetto and bring your own. theres also this geeky type i knew from high school that apparently goes in there every day and is friends with all the waitresses. but hes never banged any of them. theres probably a few more of those. eat the daytona wings. hooters.

Hooters makes me happy! BP and I ordered a 10 piece pack for $9.99 of boneless wings (come breaded) 50/50 Spicy Garlic (HOT) and Hot (not too hot). The greeter was super sweet when I came in, directing me to bar to place my carry-out order and thanking me as I left. Monica at the bar was well-informed about the menu and even went to the kitchen to communicate a last minute order change for me. When we brought the order home we found the chicken to be tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection! I loved the crunch the breading provided. The wings were not overly breaded, just the right amount. I am very interested in returning on another Monday to indulge in AYCE!

I come here frequently with some co-workers for lunch. I don't care about the waitress' attire, but don't mind it either. Never met a waitress there who wasn't very friendly and if you order the right meals, you won't be disappointed. I always alternate between the Chicken Sandwich and the Mahi Mahi burger and both of these are awesome, although sometimes a little overcooked. The prices for food and drink are great too, so what else do you want?

I went to this same location many times before and every time I went was nothing but a good time. Food was good, and so was the service,despite the casual environment. But after not visiting in months, this place changed. Servers could use a little more patience and respect. They drop food off at the table and disappear. They don't explain menu items. They don't even smile for crying out loud. Food was terribly oily and I couldn't finish it. I'm quite surprised. I usually easy everything. I suggest going to a different location.

I have a love hate relationship with this Hooters. Love the food but hate the service. The wings at Hooters are still my favorite. Oh and don't forget the lots-of-tots. There are only 3 things that I order every time I come to Hooters. Traditional Naked Wing with spicy garlic sauce, Lots-of-Tots ( Tater Tots ) with Cheese and Sour Cream and fried pickles. Yum. I've been coming to this Hooters for a few years now. I used to frequent this place during bike nights with a few biker friends. However over the years the service in the place has really declined. Service has been consistently slow and horrible over the years. It's Hooters , I don't expect great service but at least the bare minimum. On today's visit I notice the size of wings have gotten a smaller as well compared to the past. Our waitress was friendly but she wasn't tentative. She forgot our order and when she finally remembered, she bought out the order from the next table to ours. I had to wait another 10 minutes to track her down to get her to bring the wrong order back and get us our order. Hopefully the service will improved at some point. I felt really annoyed on one of my visit where the waitress had asked to scan my ID when I ordered for a drink. After disappearing for 20 minutes she came back and told me that my VA driving license is not a valid ID and insisted that I show her another form of ID. I'm 35 , cursed with a baby face so I'm accustomed to getting carded for alcohol but never once have I been asked for a second ID. Who the hell carries more than one ID (government issued ID) . I definitely don't carry my passport with me to just go to Hooters. It's quiet a far drive but not that far. The waitress finally agreed to bring me my beer but then disappeared for another 15 minutes. So 35 minutes later , still no drink and I'm still holding my menu to order food. I gave up and walked out. Come on a Monday night when it's generally slower at least that way you can find your waitress. Wednesday night is trivia night so it gets a little pack. Thursdays night during the warmer days are bike night. It gets really busy with bikers showing their bike off and getting some chow. So avoid it , unless you enjoy the motorcycles and exhaust smell I don't mind waiting a little longer while talking shop about bikes during those nights. Thursday night bike nights are the only reason I come to this Hooters now.

it was my friends first time here last night but it was a complete disappointment for them. we just felt that we were left out from our table, our server didnt even come back to check us out, then eventually she came to give us the check. so 'stephanie' ended up not getting any tip. sorry hooters but u gotta tell your girls to do their job well. there was even few people last night so i really dont get it why she didnt checked us out if ever we needed something. so far the worst place i've been to.

Might be the worst possible. The waitress can't read or do math. It wouldn't be that bad if she could just waitress. She can't do that either. I ordered a beer 1/2 hr ago and currently she can't be bothered as she hula hooping at another table.

The ladies are always very pleasant and helpful, but we consistently get poor quality food. I've always loved Hooters wings and curly fries --the backbone of their menu in my opinion and the main reason I go -- but I have been disappointed over and over again by this location. Traditionally hooters wings come as the full wing and smothered in sauce, but the last ones I bought were just like any store-bought, fatty wings without any sauce or flavor. Fries and wings were cold. This unfortunately has been the same experience every time we go. If you're going for a beer or to watch the game you're in luck, but don't expect much more.

I went to this location once before about 3 years ago, and it was just ok. I went again this week, and it was a horrible experience. We waited nearly an hour for our food and everyone in my party received their meal except me. We waited another 30 minutes and it still wasn't brought out. I asked to have it canceled because we needed to leave; but when I got the bill, they still charged me for it. I had to wait again for them to get the bill straight, but before they finally got it straight, they brought us someone else's bill and credit card! The manager NEVER came out to apologize, and the waitress had absolutely NO customer service skills...ZERO! Take my advice and bypass this joint.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to eat here. Jason, the manager, is a disgrace. My wife and I stopped here because she wanted some wings. I ordered traditional wings. I thought that mean bone in. Apparently it means breaded at Hooters. I explained I thought traditional meant bone-in vice boneless. The waitress understood and corrected the order. However when we got our bill, I was charged for the original breaded wings. The waitress never informed us that the second request would cost extra. It was an honest mistake on our part. And it shouldn't have cost us extra unless it was intentional and unreasonable. Poor customer service.

I was in the Rockville Hooters last week with my wife and three kids. It was crazy busy, but the food was awesome and so was our server, Jia. She was on the move constantly, making sure that all of her guests were getting everything they needed or wanted as soon as they needed or wanted it...!! Somehow, she had time to chat with us despite it being incredibly crowded at the dinner rush. She was graceful and also a lot of fun. We ordered wings which were bounteous and excellently prepared. The cooks work in anonymity in the back, but hats off to them as well....! Management must be doing something right. Keep it up. We will definitely be back soon and hope we sit with Jia again.

I have gone to the Rockville Hooters in the past for their unlimited wings every Monday night and usually walk away somewhat satisfied. However, I went there tonight and had the worst experience I have ever had at any restaurant. First of all, the restaurant wasn't that busy and half of it was empty. My group of friends were probably the biggest group there with a total of 10 people, and we were there for a good 3 hours. Within that time we all ordered our food and I asked for ranch with my wings but got bleu cheese instead. That didn't bother me. I know mistakes happen and it wasn't a big one. So I asked for ranch and never got it. I asked for ranch again and she wrote it down in her notepad with the rest of our orders but I still never got it. My one friend ordered a second order of wings but he never got it. My other friend ordered boneless wings and it took him over an hour to get his food. That wasn't the worst part though. The worst part was our server's attitude and how she talked to us. Whenever more than two people would ask for more wings or water she would become visibly upset and say things like, "Oh shit.". She would say this every single time we ordered something, but that only totaled about 5 times during our 3 hours there. The last thing she did that truly upset me was when some of my friends were ordering one last round of wings the others asked for their check. She responded to our request with, "Why don't I give you my code so you can do it all yourselves?" I don't care if she was joking or not, but at this point of the night after all that terrible service that was the last thing she should've said. Hooters does not pay me to ring up my own order and to print out my bill. They pay you to do your own job. I am very dissatisfied with my dining experience there and I will not be going back nor recommending the Rockville Hooters to anyone.

I've gone to this place twice within the last 2 months, and I wanted to give it one more chance before writing this review. I came in on a Wednesday evening around 7:00pm on both occasions. Food: We came on "wing night" each time, which is essentially $10.99 for all you can eat wings. The server took my order asking which side I wanted, after listing a few (never mentioning that some actually cost extra). The time between ordering wings on this most recent occasion was 35 minutes each time, because, apparently, the demand is too high and it takes significantly longer to catch up. Nonetheless, I was left asking for my check 40 minutes after ordering my second round of wings. The wings tasted pretty good, and this is partially the reason behind my 2 star review. Drinks: On two orders (out of 3) our server took over 10 minutes to deliver our drinks, and this was after we asked her where they were. Server: She was friendly, and treated us as well as she could. It wasn't her fault that the food took so long, however, her forgetfulness with our drink orders and silverware made my experience less than ideal. Overall I do not plan on returning to this location because of the slow & forgetful service.

I have to say that the service has gone away...I am one of 10 people with 5 servers and 1 bartender and it literally took 5 minutes to get noticed and when I did the server asked if I wanted to get something to eat...really! This is easily the easiest 20+ % tip anywhere and you guys blew it! Food is good, but your service really stinks. BTW - I have been sitting here for 10 minutes after I ordered and not one server is on the floor. You gotta be kidding...Abdul is the manager and Charlie is my server...she looks like she does not want to be here and now I don't wanna be here! Sad!

Wings have been really good in the past but in more recent times... I feel like I could run a bio-diesel by squeezing oil out the food. Plus the wings used to be bigger. Ordering a beer here requires patience. First you have to get the attention of a waitress... Then you get to order and then wait 15 minutes per each beer you order. I question the time it takes to serve a beer (even when they are not busy). I get the fact that the girls have to flirt with the lonely guys but for jebus sake, may I please have a beer? I feel like I'm going through withdrawal between my drinks. All you can eat wings for cheap on wing night catch your eye? Forget it, it will take you a long time to get a "refill," worse yet you may sober because you still haven't gotten your beer yet.

Food wise: always great. Love the wings so much. Service wise; Crap. Crap crap crap. I don't expect 5 star service because lets be honest, Hooters is definitely NOT a 5 star restaurant. But if I am flagging a waitress down (after not knowing where she is for 10 minutes) to even get a drink, something's wrong. And lets face it, I don't NEED to tip, so I guarantee you I will tip based on the service level I was provided. The last time I went there, our waitress would just sit around talking to someone from management and didn't even check on us. Why management was okay with a waitress sitting around for 20 minutes... who really knows. But I had to physically get up from my table, walk over to her table where she was talking for 20 minutes and ask for a refill. This place is normally dead, outside of game nights and sometimes even game nights, for a reason. The entire staff needs to do better.

I've been coming to Rockville Hooters for about 17 years and it has always been great....until recently. It seems like they don't care anymore and being the customer I feel like I'm bothering the waitresses. They get so upset when they can't get your order right and you ask them to fix it. I'm writing this while at my table with an over charged check on my table and still waiting on my last order of wings. I was ready to go 45 minutes ago but I'm still waiting on my server.

I visited this location today after work for a beer and wings but interestingly enough I was told my ID is fake and they refused to serve me. I'm not totally sure how to take it. The fact that I'm over 30 or the fact that they called my real ID fake.

I really wish i could giver zero stars. This might be the worst experience i have had in a long time. A coworker wanted to go there for lunch (his birthday), so we went. When we got there, there were maybe 4 other tables. We were seated right in the front, we asked for an appetizer, and each ordered a meal. The appetizer took 30 minutes to get to the table, and the waitress was no where to be found. We eventually asked her to cancel the appetizer, since we had to start making our way back to work. When we got our food, my dish was cold, and appeared to have been sitting in the back for a while before the waitress brought it over. the service was pretty terrible, and we had to get the attention of another waitress to grab the attention of ours so we can get WATER. Honestly, would never set foot back in the place.

As someone who has a vested interest in the security industry, I keep up on scams. And one of the latest scams going around is identity theft via carding someone. It works like this. The waiter/waitress cards a person. While checking the birthdate, he/she memorizes the address on the license. He/she doesn't have to remember it for long - just enough to get around the corner and write it down. Now, later you pay with your debit/credit card. They already have your address from before; they have the name as it appears on your card, your credit card number and even the verification number on the back of the card. And since almost all of us have non-business credit/debit cards going to our home address, the company now has everything they need to start ordering things from the internet on your card. Of course, the businesses who do this are mostly bars and restaurants. They put up signs like "We Card Everyone", as an excuse to get your address. They also claim "We wouldn't do something like that" when confronted - but who's going to admit they're breaking the law? And the beauty of this is it doesn't take any high tech equipment such as a card skimmer - just a pencil and paper. And the information can be sold on any of a number of black market sites on the internet. All of this came from last night when they tried to card me (I'm over 60 years old!). I refused, and left without a drink. A shame, since I've been there many times before without a problem. So, if you want, you can go there. But bring cash. There is no way I would ever use a credit card here again.

The food is gooood but the service sucks it's wishy washy !! It takes forever to get your drinks . Forever to get your check . If you are in a hurry please don't come here .. Our waitress, aka the manager . Forgot my Togo box . My friend had to get up from the table to get the check the box . My friend was soo heated ! One of the waitress smiled at her customers who's in their" 60s "seating them down in their face then smooth turned around with a mug mad face .. That to me seems fake !! U the one who wanted to work here so don't get mad that you have customers sweetheart . The girl I liked who works here I barely see now her names Valentina she's African I recommend her that's why I gave her a tip . The dude who's a manager was a mellow dude he asked if everything was okay and he wasn't even serving us . If you love hooters because of these brain washed hot chicks I would rather have the guy be the waiter and the girl Valentina because they are on their A game.

We often come to hooter's on Mondays for endless wings and have progressively gotten worse and worse service every single time. Last night was the last straw, our server Stephanie was down right terrible. She not only gave attitude when we Bothered to have her come over to ask for another drink, but rolled her eyes at us and ignored us so she could sit with a table full of men. Yes, I understand as a female that I am not your main concern at Hooter's. However, my money is just as good as theirs, and I probably tip a whole heck of a lot more then a guy there just to look at your body. Stephanie was uneducated with the menu and proceeded to overcharge a friend in our group for a drink that was stated a dollar cheaper on the menu. Will not be returning for awhile.

I took a guy friend of mine here the other night and the bartender Monica has to hate life to have that bad of an attitude and bad of service, instead of getting our beers we had to sit and watch her eat two plates full of food. Not only that but her eating manners were far from good. The manager walked by her doing that and said nothing to her. As a former Hooters Girl it is a shame that the quality of girls has gone down that drastically. Trust me don't bother this Hooters represents none of the traditionally Hooters environment qualities!

So I admit I only come on Mondays and Wednesdays. The service here is a hit or a miss. There was one time I went it and waited 45 minutes for a waitress. There was also a time I got the wrong wing flavor and the waitress swore up and down I ordered it. Overall I come for the wings and cheese fries, The Strip N Chicken is amazing.

The service was slow even when the restaurant was not busy. They asked how I wanted my burger cook and I said medium but got a well done burger. The service got even slower as the restaurant picked up. Thankfully my husband and I drove separately because I had to leave before we even got the bill to take our son home and our server was no where to be found! Coming from someone who use to be a server I'm usually very patient but this was way too slow of service!

Came in for a friends birthday and had a party of 11 people. The food was really good my boyfriend loved the Baja Burger! But the big problem was that the food took over an hour to arrive! I mean I understand that it takes longer for a bigger party, but our waiter could have been better at her job. The waiter had an attitude! She didn't check up on us until near the end so I didn't get a refill on my drink. I'll definitely come back but hope to get a different server. We had to talk to the manager in the end to get the rest of our order in.

This Hooter's is still one of the best in the DC area. But if you go there on Superbowl Sunday expect a LONG wait for your food (1 hour or longer) until after half time. This is due to the number of takeout orders they have coming in for all the Superbowl parties going on.

It's Hooters - what else can I say. I loved the original Rockville location and was surprised they took over the old Copelands. But I have to say the new space has a much larger bar and more seats. They have great weekly specials and even have late night happy hour deals. The waitresses are cute and try hard. They are assigned a lot of tables but all is forgotten when they smile and treat you great :). Hard to believe, but when I am not in the mood for their awesome wings, I enjoy their oysters, shrimp and crab legs. Still not a fan of boneless wings, but they have a great special on Wednesdays - $6.99 for 10 boneless wings with fries and dressing. On Mondays after 6 PM, they have all you can eat wings for $12.99 each.

Just got my food after waiting for an hour. Didn't see our waitress for 30 minutes after being seated, had to flag down a host to grab us a pitcher. Tonight was a big sport night (game 7 for caps and 5 for wizards) but clearly there is an issue with staffing and the general quality of service. Management needs to step their game up!

WILL NO LONGER BE GOING TO THIS HOOTERS LOCATION Our party of 3 walked in this past Sunday at a non-peak time between lunch and dinner. Plenty of empty tables everywhere. Stood by the hostess stand for a few minutes with servers walking right by us, like we were invisible. Flagged someone down and asked if we could sit at a table near the bar. One of the servers that walked right by us without greeting us then says "Oh ya, I was going to say you could sit there."...................No you weren't. We sit down, and proceed to wait well over 5 minutes with no sign of a "hello," "one second I'll be right over,"......NOTHING. Even someone I assume to be a manager (blue polo) walks by like we're not there. No water, No order taken, not even a hello. I don't expect 5-star service from a restaurant like Hooters, but to not even be given a greeting from a single employee is inexcusable. We left and headed down the street to BWW where we received MUCH better service. Even on our way out of Hooters, nobody noticed. Your employees are poorly trained in customer service and your management obviously doesn't care either.

Have gone many times in the past. Was always good. Went last Saturday and I may never go again. Service was lousy, food way below past visits quality and staff verified on surly. I was looking forward to the mini burgers but they came on a dry bun with a pickle. ..nothing else. I had to get up from the table twice to get service. Not likely to return there.

As a Floridian, coming from the Clearwater area and usually visiting the original Hooters regularly, this location is a sad reflection of the franchise. This is the 2nd time I have visited this location since moving from the Clearwater area and both times were horrible. Not only are the waitresses inattentive but the food was not up to par in comparison to the original Hooters. This time our waitress Lekeshia never brought us utensils or plates for our appetizer, so after noticing several other waitresses getting utensils from a silverware holder near the soda fountain I just got up and got them myself. Also, the expediter brought us our food and the waitress never came back to check on us. So at this point we didn't have napkins (which we needed extras since we brought our 2 kids), just the utensils and all of us needed refills on our drinks. We finally did get refills, by the time we were ready for the check. My husband and his friend ordered wings and both said they were ok, but they came out luke warm. I ordered fish and chips, but subbed the "chips" for tots...I never did get the tots. What I did receive is a plate full of cold mushy fries topped with greasy, over-fried cod that tasted bland. Needless to say none of us were impressed with the food or the wait staff here. We will not be returning to this location after 2 failed attempts of basically the same issues. If I could give this place zero stars I would have.

Wow worst service ever in my experience! Walked in last night when the place was half full, took 45 minutes to finally take our because she wanted to take her sweet time at a point where i just about to leave. Got our food in a timely manner but after that she would go sit to talk to one of her friends at a table like we didn't matter. My wings were dry and bland, definitely not coming back again , bww is way better!

Nobody goes to hooters just for the wings. The 3 star review by default says "A-OK" but i feel more like it is "EH-OK". The main thing this place has going for it is that it is cheap. They need to hire more big girls. I'm from Texas and as know that's cattle country. "MOOOOOOOO", I say. I like 'em big with a lotta milk. The dairy section at this shop is a little lacking if you know what i mean. I need something I can rest my head on and say,"night, Night".

Beautiful staff, but the food is horrible!!! I ordered the boneless buffalo chicken, buffalo shrimp and buffalo shrimp spinach salad, medium heat on all. I ordered blue cheese as my dip. This was a to go order. When I got home, there was no buffalo sauce on on any of the orders...so much for medium heat! The salad dressing was certainly out of a bottle. It tasted like the dressing you are forced to use that was discovered in a hidden part of your fridge you haven't visited in a year or so. The spinach looked as if it was swimming in this bottled dressing for several hours prior to be served. There was a few crumbles of cheese, not enough in my mind. There was one container of ranch for dipping (I hate ranch!). The chicken had way too much breading but was crispy. All of the shrimp, however, were practically inedible (way too small, overdone, and soggy breading etc) . I couldn't finish the meal. I will never go there to eat next time, only for the sites.

I'm so mad because I can't remember the waitress's name. We went there on Sunday @ around 6:30pm and had the best time! The waitress was very very nice, and the food was amazing. She had stated that she was new to the job, and had a country accent. African American, long hair, very friendly. I hope her manager will know who she is. They stepped up their game here BIG TIME. The food was delicious, we just ate wings and apps. The Honey BBQ Habenero wings were to die for! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

After a number of vists here I dislike this place. The food is decent, staff varies, location is okay and managment is fine except for this bitchy selfish uncaring blond woman who is one of the managers. My friends always wants to go here and after having to experience experience her passively abusive disservice, I do as much as I can to avoid going here. Its bee nearly a year since I have gone here and I don't miss being treated like my money means nothing when I have a complaint gets tiresome especially when the food is mediocre at best.

You may be wondering 1) what the hell I was doing in Rockville and 2) why I went to Hooters; if you were to ask me, I'd be all like, 1) don't worry about it and 2) WINGS. Also boobs. But mainly wings. Except I didn't end up getting wings. You know, Hooters' wings are good and all, but sometimes I like to be adventurous (and believe me I know that it's a real gamble). So while my companions got themselves some wings, I went with the Texas Melt. It's like a patty melt on steroids. We also got some deep-fried deliciousness on the side, namely the Lots-a-Tots, Fried PIckles, and fries with some sort of cheese sauce. Unfortunately the fried pickles didn't come with the sauce that usually accompanies them (they'd run out), so I got ranch instead. You should know that the fried pickles at Hooters are chips, not spears, which definitely works in their favor. I was pleasantly surprised by the Texas Melt. The meat was cooked to the right temperature (I asked for medium because, dude, it's Hooters and I didn't know what to expect) and had a nice juiciness to it. It was not a bit dry nor bland; I was pleased. The fries aren't bad, but they could be better. The fries pickles are awesome, as was the wing that I sampled--but you already knew that, because eeeeveryone goes to Hooters for the wings, right? The service? Would you expect anything less than friendly? Our server was small, super cute, and was definitely qualified to work there.

I love their wings! I always order mine the same way---hot, naked, fried hard, all flappers. Delicious!! The only downside is that they don't travel well AT ALL. I ordered some to go recently and by the time I got them home, all of the crispness was gone. Also, Hooters needs to come up with a new sauce. The "hot" isnt hot enough and "3 mile" is far too hot. And unfortunately, there's nothing in between. I have to agree that the service at the Rockville location is pretty crappy. The girls at the bar appear to be more focused on chatting amongst themselves than they are on taking orders.

A couple of friends of mine and I went here last night around 9:30. There was no one to seat us so we sat ourselves. We waited a long time for EVERYTHING...service, drinks, food. My friend ordered garlic parmesan wings and was given REGULAR wings. After asking about them, the RIGHT wings were quickly made. It was awful. Maybe because it was late....?

Came in yesterday afternoon, prompt greeting from hostess, we were quickly seated. Our server Taysue approached us almost right away, she was friendly and quick with our orders. Wings and Fries did not disappoint, I must say everything was delicious. I have always enjoyed the hooters wings and have come to this location multiple times. I can say again they did not let me down and I left full. I wanted to order more food but I had the just right feeling in my stomach. I don't have reason to mirror the negative reviews prior, I myself have had nothing but great food and service here. Parking lot needs a bit of a make over though.

Been to Maryland, Florida, NCarolina, and Wash, DC locations. They're pretty much like each other: wings, burgers, nachos...etc. But in Rockville, MD, it's awesome!! Some of the ladies are very funny and personable, so I make sure to only deal with those each time I come through. Perfect execution at the bar with StephyD, Victoria, Shabon, Monica, Kaitlin. Then to the dining room; Macy, Tiffany, Shelby, Charlie, Laura, Holly, Lilly, Gabby, Evie, & Ms Asia.

The food was OK at best. The wings were OK, but not enough to get excited about. We also had sliders, and they also were not special at all. The girls, are not anything special either. They were mediocrely attractive, but none smiled or made eye contact. Very odd. My wife even commented on it. The prices were far too high for the quality of food and staff.

Visiting this place for the first time. Service needed some improvement. Took them a while to take out initial drink order. Then it took about a half an hour before the drinks showed up. Then the didnt show up for 25 more minutes to take out orders. Eventually the food showed up. Food was pretty good. Had the wings and the fried pickles cant go wrong with that stuff. If your patient and dont mind waiting this is a pretty good place for you.

Been here twice now. The first time, things were super slow. Took forever to get the check, etc. Second shot, took forever to get our beers and check. The food is decent and like any other Hooters but service is key and they are lacking here. Perhaps we don't look like we will pay more tip for flirting, I dunno. We get ignored and Ill probably ignore this location for a while.

One word.... BLAH! I don't know how they operate, but when we walk in, no one greeted us, and there was no sign said "Seat your self". So we waited and waited, then few other people came in after us and we all stood there waited. Finally a waitress came over and told use to grab any seat. But later we saw other patron got seated by other waitress. Than my friend presented a coupon for a "free appetizer with a drink purchase" to waitress, she start arguing the coupon is not good on an ice tea drink, she "think" is only good with an alcohol purchase. Ah, what do you with an ice tea? Take a bath with it? I got a burger with curly fries. Wow. Some nasty food, fries were cold, buns were cold, and the patty didn't taste like beef at all. I never finished the meal. I know they are not famous for their food, but this is not even closed to worth eating.
Speaking strictly from a food perspective, as of 02/02/2014, the wings were much improved. They were larger and tastier than before. The frickles were alright, but not crispy enough. Could have watched the superbowl at a better venue, but this location had a table in a pinch. Worked out well.

Hooters seems to be the hangout of my friends in the area, so I thought I would try it out. The Hooters girls here are above-average at best. As servers, they're not bad, but it's clear they really, really don't like their job. The average server here is in their mid-to-late 20's. You might expect to see a guy or two working here during your time eating or drinking; however, they'll be in the kitchen (or they'll be the manager). The food is typical for Hooters. The boneless wings were on the smaller side, although some bites were better than others. The 911 Sauce tasted like typical buffalo wing sauce -- not good for a place whose food specialty is wings. The Cajun Sauce also was lacking. However, the Daytona Sauce is to die for. It is absolutely perfect. I personally felt like the chicken sandwich was better than their chicken wings. What is their best menu item, though? Easy: their fried pickles. No contest. Their fried pickles might be some of the best in the DC area. The interior is large and always clean. There's also dozens of tvs throughout the restaurant. That's not what most people are here for. They're here for the girls. They have posters EVERYWHERE. You can't walk in here without getting a constant reminder of how they sell sex. While I did like some things about this place, I felt like it could be improved.

My first time going to Hooters and I had a horrible experience at this location. I was attending a conference at a near by hotel and colleague suggested that we go for there for lunch. Long story short....there were only a few people in the restaurant and it took 45 minutes for the food to arrive. When it did come the orders were wrong and she forgot to enter 1 person (it was only 4 of us) order. We asked for the manger and he seemed not to care....no apologize...just okay and a look that said "what you want me to do".... I guess if we were a group of men it would have been different...

I don't know how I haven't reviewed Hooters yet... I could have sworn I did; I've at here so many times. The new location in Rockville has all new LG plasma TVs and there are several pretty hot girls here at this location. More than I can say for the other ones I've been to... They'll often show UFC fights and always have sports games on. The 911 wings here are on point. Sure they're bad for you (866 calories for 5 wings) but they're worth the unhealthiness! Breaded buffalo wings with ranch. Mmmmm! Curly fries are really good here, really salty. I like to keep my blood pressure high!... Lots of people like the fried pickles but I'm not a fan of pickles so it didn't work out for me. Another item you may want to order is the buffalo chicken sandwich with cheese and bacon. It can't be healthy for you... but hey, good food never is! **Update: Lemon pepper and cajun wings are average. Lemon pepper was a little dry**

Ok, after the last visit which service-wise wasn't up to par, Alexis from corporate emailed me to see what happened? Wow, wasn't expecting anyone to contact me! Whatever was done, my friends and I have seen a dramatic improvement! It was like the Hooter's of years ago. The gals appeared to be having fun, which coincided with great service when I was there last week with a friend. Nice greeting when we walked in, immediate acknowledgement by our server, and cold beers within 5 min at our table. Hmmm.... I did notice that those that were dressed more appropriately and not as though they hadn't showered all day were given better service? hint hint guys....if you smell like a sewer, I wouldn't go near you yet alone serve you promptly! Thanks all! Keep it up!

How's this for the wings. It says on the side "only 10 cents for extra piece in increment of 10" Ha! If I order the 10 piece, that will be 8.99 then extra 10 more that will be extra 1 dollar.......Wrong......it is extra 10 cents each piece for the flavor.....bwahahahaha, I have the waitress explain clearly hahaha. But the wings is soooooo good tho! And Laura is Hooooooot!

My coworkers and I come here fairly regularly for weekday lunches and almost always have a great time. Today, we were waited on by Stephanie, who was polite enough taking our order and our food came out fairly quickly. After we took our first couple of bites, she stopped by the table and I assumed she was checking in to see if we needed anything. Instead of asking how we were doing, she asked if we could pay our check because she needed to leave. We had just gotten our food and still had almost an hour left on our lunch break, and as a server myself, I find it incredibly tacky to rush guests through their lunch based on your schedule. She dropped the check and immediately circled back to see if we had put out a card, which, as a subtle sign of protest at her behavior, we hadn't. Still mid-meal, we paid and she immediately came to pick up the signed copy to collect her tips, then less than 5 minutes later, cruised by our table in street clothes and headed out the door. We didn't interact with a single employee for the remainder of our time there, no plates cleared, offer of another round, etc. Being treated this way as a paying customer really sucks. Bummer.

Martin R.
We ordered, their special hot wings with the blue cheese, and after waiting for about 2 hours and almost leaving from boredom they brought the wings plus the hamburger, the food wasn't that good, I mean after waiting 2 hours to eat, even a piece of hard bread seems delicious. The waiter came by just a few times for refills, but very cold and bitter, not even a smile on her face. So after we finished eating we decided to spare everyone the pain and leave as quick as possible, paid the bill and left her no tip, because if one goes to restaurant it's to have a pleasant experience and good customer service, otherwise I would have gone to mcdonalds or ordered the same wings from pizza hut and it would have been a lot cheaper, a lot faster and if after all that I still was interested in seeing hot girls, good old fashioned porn, and still cheaper, faster and more enjoyable.

A colleague of mine ordered 'hot wings' a few weeks ago and her wings came dry. I also ordered 'hot wings' recently, and they were also dry (as in no sauce). They were also greasier that someone's hair styled with Soul Glo. Service there sucks. On other occasions, the food has been sub-par. No, I'm not bitter that the hot boobie girls wouldn't sit on my lap or fawn over me at the door; I got over that a few weeks ago. I think as a whole, Hooters is going down-hill. In all fairness, this isn't the only hooters to almost give me food poisoning.

Its hooters. The wings were o.k. I've had better at Hooters in OKC, and everywhere else in Florida. I was excited that they had tator tots! I actually asked for 'sliced american' cheese on my tots instead of that cheese product sauce, and they obliged. Good deal. Came out piping hot, and melted all over the tots! The girls are friendly, but not all that attentive. After going to school, and traveling Florida, I expect more from Hooter girls. They're a big reason we go there! I give this particular HOOTERS a HUGE thumbs up due to the fact that they have the cleanest, nicest, most modern bathroom I've seen outside of a neiman marcus. To me thats damn important! Tons of tvs, and its not overly loud that you can't hear yourself think (until they sing happy birthday).

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. We were looking for a chill spot to enjoy some food and drink on a patio on a gorgeous evening. From the moment we walked in, service was awful. The hostess and server struggled with everything from seating us to our drink order. 15/20 minutes to get our cocktails which were made incorrectly and the servers appearance was so scarce that when we made the decision to just stop after the drinks, I had to go search for her with credit card in tow to get us out of there. 1 hour from the time we entered to exited and all we had to show for it was wrong drinks. Won't go back for any reason.

I come to this location of Hooters for the wings - that is something Hooters does well! Services is A-Ok but they have always been busy every time I have been here. Guess that has to be expected here right? Curly fries are good too! So try out this place for wings, fries, and beer! If you calling is something vegetarian or helathy - go someplace else!

MacKenzie W.
No, I'm not just ripping this Hooter's because I'm a girl. In fact, I usually love Hooter's. AND I used to love this location circa 2011-early 2012. Came here for the first time in about a year for college football and it was HORRIBLE. Sat at the bar...first poor choice. The bartender (Monica I believe) ignored my boyfriend and I for 10 minutes or so and when she finally came over to us and took our orders, she acted like we were inconveniencing her. We got the all you can eat wings deal. They were nice and crispy and came out super hot but the sauce was minimal--I expect better, Hooter's! Especially with BWW right down the road. Bartender continued her poor service throughout the game by leaving our beer glasses empty while she flirted with her boyfriend/friend/maybe just a customer(?) at the end of the bar. She kept yelling to her manager asking to get cut when she had 6 or 7 customers at the bar!! When she brought us our bill she slapped it on the bar and didn't even say have a nice night. Also of note, one of the waitresses brought her VERY young son to work with her...maybe a 3 or 4 year old little boy. He was running around the bar smacking patrons with a hula hoop with zero supervision. I understand that sometimes the babysitter falls through, but come on, a bar is no place for a child, especially if he's bothering everyone else! Won't be coming here for game day...had they treated us better, it would likely have become our regular place since it's right down the street!

Hooters could be a really nice restaurant if they would totally redo the menu. They need a new food supplier. Only thing they serve thats even tolerable is the salad and thats not very good either. Ill still visit once in a while because its a fun place to go and the girls are great.

***DOUBLECHECK YOUR CHECK!*** They tried to add on extra beers that we had never ordered or received. I talked to the black male manager (took him A LONG TIME to pull himself away from flirting with all the female employees) he then basically calls me a liar when I try to calmly discuss the issue. I told him i didnt give a damn about the few extra dollars but it was all about the principal...

I have tried wings all over town and decided to see what the guys have been talking about all these years. I never really believed it when guys said they were coming here for the "wings." Actually, the wings are pretty darn good! Lots of light, golden batter and not too greasy. The only thing I would ask is they kick up the spice. I ordered the super hot ones ("911"), added hot sauce and it was still a very mild flavor. Good flavor but very mild. They give you very little celery with the wings. The service is very friendly. The theme is definitely there but not uncomfortably so. Lots of TV's. Useful things to know about this Hooters is that it is open later than just about anything else in Rockville and they have free WiFi there.

Harvey D.
I have been to this Hooters a couple of times and I have to say that it's just average as far as Hooters goes. I really don't veer to much from the wings and curly fries which are both very good. The service can be good or bad although the last time I was there, the waitress was pretty attentive and only seemed to disappear when I was trying to pay the check. The girls are also not that great in the looks dept. and usually only one or two are worth more than a single glance. In the DC area, this is probably one of the better Hooters but that's still not saying much.

Joan K.
Time and time again, I'm always super happy that we get attentive service despite our demographic (couples, single girls, guys that don't drink) and the way we order (one or two things at a time every 15 minutes, for at least an entire football game or two). Sundays almost always have $3.50 Bud/BudLight specials that are perfect for getting sloppy for the games. Unfortunately, I almost always prefer to go to Buffalo Wild Wings for game-watching because their food is much better. BUT there is a lot to be said for a place that welcomes you with no judgement after having made a ridiculous drunken fool of yourself just a week before.

I remember when Hooters used to have HOT girls working there. I'm sure it's a function of being in Rockville, but come on, they have to have some standards when hiring these girls. First off, the place is called Hooters.... not Raisins. Sexist? Sure, but hey, that's the entire mission of this place; to provide eye candy for guys while serving good food and a beer. Luckily for my friend and I, we sat at the bar, and the girl that worked there certainly fit the prototypical Hooters model. Ok enought about the girls. The food. M.E.H. I don't love the wings here... the naked ones aren't bad, and the garlic sauce is actually pretty decent, but the blue cheese dressing sucks and the hot wings are subpar (I think I actually got the 911 sauce). The one thing that was surprisingly good, and super fat steez, was the Lots-o-Tots appetizer. It's tater tots with nacho cheese, bacon, sour cream, and scallions. Pretty freakin good actuallly. The beer selection is booty, so I decided to go for a ketel and soda with olives. Also, since they've moved locations, I like the fact that they have new TVs with DirecTV Sunday Ticket package. So in summation: Girls aren't as hot as they should be, food is average, service is good, and they have free wifi and the Sunday ticket. Will I go back? Sure, why not. So why two stars? It's a Hooters, hot girls are supposed to be working there. That's why.

Everyone I know has been telling me how great Hooters is, so I finally caved and tried it. I ordered a grilled chicken salad (yes, I know, you don't order a grilled chicken salad at Hooters, but I did). The chicken was rubbery, the dressing came in peel top containers, and the whole thing just lacked flavor. The others in my party weren't impressed with the food at this Hooters location either (and they didn't order a salad). The service was decent, our waitress was attentive and friendly.

When the boss is away, the work buddies will play. Hooters has no specials, no happy hours, and no judgments. It has plenty of Blue Moon in pitchers, wings, curly fries and t.v. screens, and probably pictures of me stumbling back to work after a two hour lunch! The waitresses never mind, and won't tell your boss!!

If you want to watch the game with a cheap special, then this is the place to do it! The staff is cool and super helpful and the food is relatively cheap and quick. Never really crowded, but always just busy enough to not feel dead. Terrible date spot (unless she likes football), but a great place to hang with the guys on a Saturday or Sunday evening. Oh yea, the food.... yeah, its edible.

I love HOOTERS!!! And the restaurant is ok too. In my bad boy days, I used to frequent Hooters in LA all the time. The drinks and food were all good and reasonably priced. This Hooters, however, is the worst breastaurant... er, restaurant I have been too. For starters, the service was John McCain slow. Probably because the Hooter girls were busy splashing water on themselves and on our table (true story). We were seated next to the soda machines and the girls started throwing water at each other and it got out of control and some of the water splashed on me and my food. I never thought I would hate two girls in wet shirts. But I do now, sadly. I ordered the boneless chicken wings and a grey goose martini (I know, who orders a grey goose martini at Hooters???) The wings were an absolute disaster. It was coated with an inch thick layer of batter and the texture was really dry and hard. The grey goose martini was strong, but very bitter. I had also ordered water and since it took forever for the water to arrive, I drank from it without looking at the cup. Halfway through the water, I noticed that the inside had some white mold-like substance attached inside the cup with 1 hair dangling inside. I almost puked and called the waitress. She thought it was super disgusting and showed all the hooter girls. No apology was given. I don't like giving 1 stars out willy-nilly, so I decided to give it another try. The next time I went, there was a 2 hour wait!!! Turns out that that night, Hooters was showing a mixed martial arts fight (UFC 100) and that drew out all the steroid taking wannabe fighters to Hooters. This Hooters just doesn't like me.

Okay, okay, so a review by a girl of the food at Hooters. Can you say: "irrelevant." Fair point. But still, how hard is it to have a few decent salads, a veggie burger, an app or two that is not fried, or a salad dressing not served in a foil-sealed plastic cup? My friend and I hit Hooters after boxing at LA Boxing across the street. We were wrung out by the work out and famished. Met our men there, watched the Caps blow out Montreal, and just wanted some non-toxic fare. No luck. Cobb salad is "designed" with fried chicken. Apps include fried pickles, fried cheese, fried wings, and...french fries. Ick. And the wings and fried stuff wasn't all that great anyway. Oh. Yes. Our waitress was rail-thin and packed a heckuva rack. So maybe food is a completely gratuitous feature of the outing. But our bill came. $30/person with tip (for aforementioned server). Eh, next time I'll wait in line at Houstons.

Crystal S.
I love the wings here, I have been enjoying wings at Hooters for many, many years! Today though, I was extremely displeased. I ordered an iced tea and the 5 piece flappitizer. I ordered my wings breaded plain with my sauce on the side and an order of ranch. When my wings arrived, they were exactly how I ordered them and they were hot. However, when my bill arrived, this is where I had a problem. On my bill, there was a line under my wings that read "Extra Medium $.89". I called over the server to inform her that there was a mistake as I asked for my sauce on the side and that's exactly how it came. "Lillian," my server proceeded to inform me that they charge when the sauce is on the side. I then informed her that I did not receive "extra" sauce and that on the side is not "extra." She again told me that apparently in the past, I have not been charged when I should have. This has completely ruined my enjoyment at Hooters. Yes, it may be a charge of only $.89, but, the fact is, I ordered my sauce on the side so I can control how much I ingest. So you're telling me that i'm now being "punished" financially for controling the amount of sauce that I prefer with my chicken? In all my years of enjoying Hooters wings, I have never, ever been charged to have the sauce on the side. For the reason that my meal was as I ordered, I am giving 2 stars. I also called to speak to a manager, I was placed on hold until the call ended. This is NOT good customer service.

People say they come here for the wings. But honestly, IMHO, the wings are not really notable. I have a feeling they come for something else... The guys got together here a few times earlier last year to watch 'Skins games (I miss those days they were a happy 6-2). You can get wings breaded or naked. The breaded wings are way too heavy for my liking. The naked wings are decent, though at times a bit dry. I get the "Philly" cheesesteak. It's kinda bad - yet at the same time decent enough that I always order it. Can't really explain why. My friends enjoy the fried pickles. The place nickel and dimes their patrons. Extra charge for celery with your wings? Extra charge for blue cheese? It's the Hooter's way. Service is inconsistent. I've never had excellent service, but it ranges from decent to crappy. Overall an OK place to watch the hometown game. Barely 3.

I have a few friends who are regulars here. They spent a ton of money in this place and are well known. With that said, they still can't get any service in this establishment. I have only joined them twice and each time, the service was slow, not overly friendly and the food just not good. Now, I do want to say that I love the wings, and that I have been to other locations also, but the rest of the Hooters menu is just no good. Everything is fried and nothing has any flavor. It is very clear that these are not execution issues but corporate's choice of products. I will continue to visit Hooters near and far if it strikes my fancy, but wings are the only items I would recommend. And since these days they offer free WiFi, perhaps it will help you kill time while you wait for your good looking but probably useless waitress to make her rounds.

The food is pretty good, I mean its hooters what do you expect lol just a bunch of fried good food, the service how ever SUCKS went with a group of freinds once every one split there bills I paid my half and went out for a smoke soon all my freinds came out and one of them said they had to pay for me because the waiter I already paid said I didnt pay and left, we got it taken care of but it was sketchy since I paid with cash there was some question asking, Also one time we went there sat down and no one came to help us for like 20 minutes so we just left. Overall food is good Service not so good but suit your self cmon its hooters lol.

Update - HOOTERS MOVED TO WHERE THE COPELAND'S USED TO BE (near Fuddruckers). It's only a couple of blocks south, but don't head towards the Circuit City anymore. Props to Diana for loving this place. Every time I suggest this place when the group is mixed, I definitely get a lot of "mixed looks" from the ladies. But I swear, the food is great....or should I say greasy? Well I guess great and greasy can be interchangeable when it comes to food. 3 people = 50 wings + 2-3 pitchers + carrots/celery for balance. I definitely recommend the naked. Breaded can be a little too much. I challenge ladies out there to give it a shot and don't judge a book by its skimpy-tight cover.

Hooters girls, 2 Shock Top pitchers, and 50 wings. Lots and lots of TVs. Helluva night.

I have been to about half a dozen Hooters over the years, and this one ranks near the bottom. I came because my girlfriend was craving some peel n eat shrimp and I wanted wings. Plus, she had never been and claimed she had to see this fiasco first hand. The restaurant itself is nice since it is pretty new with flat screens and nice new furniture. However, being here with a girl pretty much ensured us poor service. The waitress was slow and checked on us about half as much as the other tables and spend 10 minutes trying to sell merchandise to a single guy at the table next to us. The actual food was about as good as I have had at Hooters, but I'm in no hurry to get back.

I come here for the wings... really? I actually do. Hooters does have some of the best wings in the area. Now they have different flavors to choose from besides for the regular hot/mild/911 there is garlic cheese, honey bbq, cajun and a few others I don't remember off the top of my head. You can order them breaded or naked. The waitresses can be hit or miss if that's what you're going for. There are lots of big screen TV's in HD to watch all of your NASCAR action. The only thing that is annoying is the waitresses are always trying to sell those dumb calenders or whatever other crap they sell there besides for food. Give it a break already, and If I don't want to buy any of that crap for the millionth time because I'm over the age of 12 or do not enjoy NASCAR racing, leave me alone please. Don't make me feel guilty about not buying it because u give 5% of the profit to helping the soldiers in Afghanistan. Ok sorry for the rant, I'm heading to Hooters for lunch now that I've made myself hungry, hopefully there will be some talent on lunch shift today.. and oh yeah did I mention they have good wings?

OKAY, I didn't want to do this but I feel like I have to. The moment I sat down, I thought: "Wow, this place definitely should be YELPed." This was a month ago on a late Saturday night around 10:30PM. My friends and I were thinking of some place to eat. UNFORTUNATELY someone said Hooters. It was my boyfriend and I plus another couple. I didn't mind going until when we got there I was completely appalled! We were standing in the front waiting to be seated for a while until a Hooters girl (without greeting us) says, "Go ahead," giving us the okay to find a seat..? Some girl (understudy hostess?) walks behind us and sits us down then yells to a waitress in the corner. The waitress in the corner shakes her head and mouths, "NO" (because she used her invisible powers) as she continues to giggle with her other waitress friends (also invisible and not working). So the hostess sits us at another table, throws us our menus, and walks away. No one comes to us to take our drinks, say hello, or anything. I look around to my left at the lower tables and cups are empty, customers are looking for their service... it was ridiculous. Finally a waitress from the back licks the bbq sauce off her fingers and walks over to take our order (what happened to "all employees must wash their hands" rule?). She was extremely rude and rolled her eyes at us twice. I felt like I was on TV - like Boiling Point or something. I wasn't sure what the problem was. Was it because we were couples? Was it because our boyfriends had girls with them? You're thinking why didn't we leave. I'm thinking the same thing... Lastly, all I could think about was being Asian (didn't want to use the race card, but I did and you'll see why later). When our food came out (ever so late), two older while males of a heavier-set guys came in with CAPS jerseys. And you betcha - they got royal treatment! They were greeted, spoken to, laughed with, touched (not that I wanted those bbq fingers to touch me...), and you got it - actual service. Actual food: It was alright. First time trying fried pickles and they were good with the dipping sauce. We had loaded tots, but should have gone for the seasoned fries. My biggest problem I have with this experience was the service. I used to be a server and you make your money on tips. As a customer, I felt so ignored and invisible. I wanted to not only undertip her, but underpay. So if you decide to go here: Keep your girlfriends at home and go out with just the guys, don't expect the wings to taste like heaven, and don't expect extremely great service. OR: don't go here. =]

i love hooters. the wings.. 50 pieces...parmasean garlic sauce with cheese fries and a miller light. what more can i ask for? i can literally eat here everyday. really. i am not kidding. i had my birthday here. thats how much i love it. and there ARE hot girls that work here!!! i swear
(5)ap m.
love the new renovations- finally some nice flat screen tvs. the only thing i eat here is the wings- they hit the spot just right. SPICY GARLIC. yummy. their bbq chicken sandwich is pretty good too- nice thick piece of chicken and you can have it with any of the wing sauces: SPICY GARLIC. the girls are cute, & friendly. i come here all the time with my b/f and they do their quick smile & sweet talk.. but at the same time they're smart enough not to harass dudes accompanied by females & i appreciate that.

okay, all I can say about this place is .... "WINGS". In fact, they shouldn't have named it hooters. they should have named it wings. i went in there to try the daytona wings. and damn! they were sensational! Why had I never tried these before? As far as the hooters girls and the service, if you go there by yourself, you will be treated like an invisible man. once you go there with a few more folks, the hooters girls will flock to you bees on honey. I guess they know that several guys = tips. one guy = wing eater. Anyway, went there with some korean natives the other week, and they kept on commenting about how hot the wait staff was. Well, for some reason, I think non-american asians think any thin white chick is hot... i mean, since they are bombarded with fatties 24/7 when they visit the US, anything with blonde hair size 4 and under is like a victoria secret model. it's the ultimate form of beer goggles. But if you're looking for awesome wings try the daytona wings. super uber awesome! Everything at this place is just blech... so they get only 3 stars...

hooters. this hooters moved from across the street. it was there when i was a little kid and always asked my mom what the place was with the owl when we would drive south on the pike. i don' t remember what her responses referred to but they made us curious. it was always something like " that's a grown up place". so around the time we started driving, we started going to hooters and found out that it happens to be a nice wholesome family restaurant with waitresses that wear nerdy shorts and wear lots of make up. they were hot though. it became a friday night ritual throughout high school. so there it is, the old one across the street was awesome, but the new one is awesomer. its like a stadium and they started serving party likker. never really went, or go to hooters at night as an adult because its like amateur night there. lots of idiots on motorsickles and big trucks thinking they are going to find a child bride or something. kind of like fat tuesday or st pats when people get obnoxious. im guilty of that sometimes. however lunch/happy hr time is brilliant. great people watching and cheap swill. sit at the bar and you dont have to get annoyed by the waitresses trying to give you the stripper rap like they are yore best friend. naw. travel in a pack and kill the daytona wings. take in their large and generous tvs. i did get the skitters from eating some of their crab legs once though. id stick to land items. they make a subsidized income selling idiots bleu cheese. be ghetto and bring your own. theres also this geeky type i knew from high school that apparently goes in there every day and is friends with all the waitresses. but hes never banged any of them. theres probably a few more of those. eat the daytona wings. hooters.

Hooters makes me happy! BP and I ordered a 10 piece pack for $9.99 of boneless wings (come breaded) 50/50 Spicy Garlic (HOT) and Hot (not too hot). The greeter was super sweet when I came in, directing me to bar to place my carry-out order and thanking me as I left. Monica at the bar was well-informed about the menu and even went to the kitchen to communicate a last minute order change for me. When we brought the order home we found the chicken to be tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection! I loved the crunch the breading provided. The wings were not overly breaded, just the right amount. I am very interested in returning on another Monday to indulge in AYCE!
(5)Sven B.
I come here frequently with some co-workers for lunch. I don't care about the waitress' attire, but don't mind it either. Never met a waitress there who wasn't very friendly and if you order the right meals, you won't be disappointed. I always alternate between the Chicken Sandwich and the Mahi Mahi burger and both of these are awesome, although sometimes a little overcooked. The prices for food and drink are great too, so what else do you want?
(5)Alfonso C.
I went to this same location many times before and every time I went was nothing but a good time. Food was good, and so was the service,despite the casual environment. But after not visiting in months, this place changed. Servers could use a little more patience and respect. They drop food off at the table and disappear. They don't explain menu items. They don't even smile for crying out loud. Food was terribly oily and I couldn't finish it. I'm quite surprised. I usually easy everything. I suggest going to a different location.
(1)Andrew D.
I have a love hate relationship with this Hooters. Love the food but hate the service. The wings at Hooters are still my favorite. Oh and don't forget the lots-of-tots. There are only 3 things that I order every time I come to Hooters. Traditional Naked Wing with spicy garlic sauce, Lots-of-Tots ( Tater Tots ) with Cheese and Sour Cream and fried pickles. Yum. I've been coming to this Hooters for a few years now. I used to frequent this place during bike nights with a few biker friends. However over the years the service in the place has really declined. Service has been consistently slow and horrible over the years. It's Hooters , I don't expect great service but at least the bare minimum. On today's visit I notice the size of wings have gotten a smaller as well compared to the past. Our waitress was friendly but she wasn't tentative. She forgot our order and when she finally remembered, she bought out the order from the next table to ours. I had to wait another 10 minutes to track her down to get her to bring the wrong order back and get us our order. Hopefully the service will improved at some point. I felt really annoyed on one of my visit where the waitress had asked to scan my ID when I ordered for a drink. After disappearing for 20 minutes she came back and told me that my VA driving license is not a valid ID and insisted that I show her another form of ID. I'm 35 , cursed with a baby face so I'm accustomed to getting carded for alcohol but never once have I been asked for a second ID. Who the hell carries more than one ID (government issued ID) . I definitely don't carry my passport with me to just go to Hooters. It's quiet a far drive but not that far. The waitress finally agreed to bring me my beer but then disappeared for another 15 minutes. So 35 minutes later , still no drink and I'm still holding my menu to order food. I gave up and walked out. Come on a Monday night when it's generally slower at least that way you can find your waitress. Wednesday night is trivia night so it gets a little pack. Thursdays night during the warmer days are bike night. It gets really busy with bikers showing their bike off and getting some chow. So avoid it , unless you enjoy the motorcycles and exhaust smell I don't mind waiting a little longer while talking shop about bikes during those nights. Thursday night bike nights are the only reason I come to this Hooters now.
(2)Jeniffer M.
it was my friends first time here last night but it was a complete disappointment for them. we just felt that we were left out from our table, our server didnt even come back to check us out, then eventually she came to give us the check. so 'stephanie' ended up not getting any tip. sorry hooters but u gotta tell your girls to do their job well. there was even few people last night so i really dont get it why she didnt checked us out if ever we needed something. so far the worst place i've been to.
(1)Andy A.
Might be the worst possible. The waitress can't read or do math. It wouldn't be that bad if she could just waitress. She can't do that either. I ordered a beer 1/2 hr ago and currently she can't be bothered as she hula hooping at another table.
(1)Amanda M.
The ladies are always very pleasant and helpful, but we consistently get poor quality food. I've always loved Hooters wings and curly fries --the backbone of their menu in my opinion and the main reason I go -- but I have been disappointed over and over again by this location. Traditionally hooters wings come as the full wing and smothered in sauce, but the last ones I bought were just like any store-bought, fatty wings without any sauce or flavor. Fries and wings were cold. This unfortunately has been the same experience every time we go. If you're going for a beer or to watch the game you're in luck, but don't expect much more.
(2)Ted K.
We had a retirement party for our co-worker. a great time was had by all.
(5)Michelle R.
I went to this location once before about 3 years ago, and it was just ok. I went again this week, and it was a horrible experience. We waited nearly an hour for our food and everyone in my party received their meal except me. We waited another 30 minutes and it still wasn't brought out. I asked to have it canceled because we needed to leave; but when I got the bill, they still charged me for it. I had to wait again for them to get the bill straight, but before they finally got it straight, they brought us someone else's bill and credit card! The manager NEVER came out to apologize, and the waitress had absolutely NO customer service skills...ZERO! Take my advice and bypass this joint.
(1)Willis N.
The wings sucked and the service sucked. Overall terrible experience. I would not come here ever again.
(1)Jiashun H.
I wouldn't recommend anyone to eat here. Jason, the manager, is a disgrace. My wife and I stopped here because she wanted some wings. I ordered traditional wings. I thought that mean bone in. Apparently it means breaded at Hooters. I explained I thought traditional meant bone-in vice boneless. The waitress understood and corrected the order. However when we got our bill, I was charged for the original breaded wings. The waitress never informed us that the second request would cost extra. It was an honest mistake on our part. And it shouldn't have cost us extra unless it was intentional and unreasonable. Poor customer service.
(1)David M.
I was in the Rockville Hooters last week with my wife and three kids. It was crazy busy, but the food was awesome and so was our server, Jia. She was on the move constantly, making sure that all of her guests were getting everything they needed or wanted as soon as they needed or wanted it...!! Somehow, she had time to chat with us despite it being incredibly crowded at the dinner rush. She was graceful and also a lot of fun. We ordered wings which were bounteous and excellently prepared. The cooks work in anonymity in the back, but hats off to them as well....! Management must be doing something right. Keep it up. We will definitely be back soon and hope we sit with Jia again.

I have gone to the Rockville Hooters in the past for their unlimited wings every Monday night and usually walk away somewhat satisfied. However, I went there tonight and had the worst experience I have ever had at any restaurant. First of all, the restaurant wasn't that busy and half of it was empty. My group of friends were probably the biggest group there with a total of 10 people, and we were there for a good 3 hours. Within that time we all ordered our food and I asked for ranch with my wings but got bleu cheese instead. That didn't bother me. I know mistakes happen and it wasn't a big one. So I asked for ranch and never got it. I asked for ranch again and she wrote it down in her notepad with the rest of our orders but I still never got it. My one friend ordered a second order of wings but he never got it. My other friend ordered boneless wings and it took him over an hour to get his food. That wasn't the worst part though. The worst part was our server's attitude and how she talked to us. Whenever more than two people would ask for more wings or water she would become visibly upset and say things like, "Oh shit.". She would say this every single time we ordered something, but that only totaled about 5 times during our 3 hours there. The last thing she did that truly upset me was when some of my friends were ordering one last round of wings the others asked for their check. She responded to our request with, "Why don't I give you my code so you can do it all yourselves?" I don't care if she was joking or not, but at this point of the night after all that terrible service that was the last thing she should've said. Hooters does not pay me to ring up my own order and to print out my bill. They pay you to do your own job. I am very dissatisfied with my dining experience there and I will not be going back nor recommending the Rockville Hooters to anyone.

I've gone to this place twice within the last 2 months, and I wanted to give it one more chance before writing this review. I came in on a Wednesday evening around 7:00pm on both occasions. Food: We came on "wing night" each time, which is essentially $10.99 for all you can eat wings. The server took my order asking which side I wanted, after listing a few (never mentioning that some actually cost extra). The time between ordering wings on this most recent occasion was 35 minutes each time, because, apparently, the demand is too high and it takes significantly longer to catch up. Nonetheless, I was left asking for my check 40 minutes after ordering my second round of wings. The wings tasted pretty good, and this is partially the reason behind my 2 star review. Drinks: On two orders (out of 3) our server took over 10 minutes to deliver our drinks, and this was after we asked her where they were. Server: She was friendly, and treated us as well as she could. It wasn't her fault that the food took so long, however, her forgetfulness with our drink orders and silverware made my experience less than ideal. Overall I do not plan on returning to this location because of the slow & forgetful service.
(2)Peter L.
I have to say that the service has gone away...I am one of 10 people with 5 servers and 1 bartender and it literally took 5 minutes to get noticed and when I did the server asked if I wanted to get something to eat...really! This is easily the easiest 20+ % tip anywhere and you guys blew it! Food is good, but your service really stinks. BTW - I have been sitting here for 10 minutes after I ordered and not one server is on the floor. You gotta be kidding...Abdul is the manager and Charlie is my server...she looks like she does not want to be here and now I don't wanna be here! Sad!
(3)Navi B.
Wings have been really good in the past but in more recent times... I feel like I could run a bio-diesel by squeezing oil out the food. Plus the wings used to be bigger. Ordering a beer here requires patience. First you have to get the attention of a waitress... Then you get to order and then wait 15 minutes per each beer you order. I question the time it takes to serve a beer (even when they are not busy). I get the fact that the girls have to flirt with the lonely guys but for jebus sake, may I please have a beer? I feel like I'm going through withdrawal between my drinks. All you can eat wings for cheap on wing night catch your eye? Forget it, it will take you a long time to get a "refill," worse yet you may sober because you still haven't gotten your beer yet.
(2)Aimie C.
Food wise: always great. Love the wings so much. Service wise; Crap. Crap crap crap. I don't expect 5 star service because lets be honest, Hooters is definitely NOT a 5 star restaurant. But if I am flagging a waitress down (after not knowing where she is for 10 minutes) to even get a drink, something's wrong. And lets face it, I don't NEED to tip, so I guarantee you I will tip based on the service level I was provided. The last time I went there, our waitress would just sit around talking to someone from management and didn't even check on us. Why management was okay with a waitress sitting around for 20 minutes... who really knows. But I had to physically get up from my table, walk over to her table where she was talking for 20 minutes and ask for a refill. This place is normally dead, outside of game nights and sometimes even game nights, for a reason. The entire staff needs to do better.
(2)James Y.
I've been coming to Rockville Hooters for about 17 years and it has always been great....until recently. It seems like they don't care anymore and being the customer I feel like I'm bothering the waitresses. They get so upset when they can't get your order right and you ask them to fix it. I'm writing this while at my table with an over charged check on my table and still waiting on my last order of wings. I was ready to go 45 minutes ago but I'm still waiting on my server.
(2)Alec S.
I visited this location today after work for a beer and wings but interestingly enough I was told my ID is fake and they refused to serve me. I'm not totally sure how to take it. The fact that I'm over 30 or the fact that they called my real ID fake.
(1)Nina H.
I really wish i could giver zero stars. This might be the worst experience i have had in a long time. A coworker wanted to go there for lunch (his birthday), so we went. When we got there, there were maybe 4 other tables. We were seated right in the front, we asked for an appetizer, and each ordered a meal. The appetizer took 30 minutes to get to the table, and the waitress was no where to be found. We eventually asked her to cancel the appetizer, since we had to start making our way back to work. When we got our food, my dish was cold, and appeared to have been sitting in the back for a while before the waitress brought it over. the service was pretty terrible, and we had to get the attention of another waitress to grab the attention of ours so we can get WATER. Honestly, would never set foot back in the place.
(1)Jerry S.
As someone who has a vested interest in the security industry, I keep up on scams. And one of the latest scams going around is identity theft via carding someone. It works like this. The waiter/waitress cards a person. While checking the birthdate, he/she memorizes the address on the license. He/she doesn't have to remember it for long - just enough to get around the corner and write it down. Now, later you pay with your debit/credit card. They already have your address from before; they have the name as it appears on your card, your credit card number and even the verification number on the back of the card. And since almost all of us have non-business credit/debit cards going to our home address, the company now has everything they need to start ordering things from the internet on your card. Of course, the businesses who do this are mostly bars and restaurants. They put up signs like "We Card Everyone", as an excuse to get your address. They also claim "We wouldn't do something like that" when confronted - but who's going to admit they're breaking the law? And the beauty of this is it doesn't take any high tech equipment such as a card skimmer - just a pencil and paper. And the information can be sold on any of a number of black market sites on the internet. All of this came from last night when they tried to card me (I'm over 60 years old!). I refused, and left without a drink. A shame, since I've been there many times before without a problem. So, if you want, you can go there. But bring cash. There is no way I would ever use a credit card here again.

wings are over rated was not flavorful service was good waitress was very nice 2 stars
(2)Kim A.
The food is gooood but the service sucks it's wishy washy !! It takes forever to get your drinks . Forever to get your check . If you are in a hurry please don't come here .. Our waitress, aka the manager . Forgot my Togo box . My friend had to get up from the table to get the check the box . My friend was soo heated ! One of the waitress smiled at her customers who's in their" 60s "seating them down in their face then smooth turned around with a mug mad face .. That to me seems fake !! U the one who wanted to work here so don't get mad that you have customers sweetheart . The girl I liked who works here I barely see now her names Valentina she's African I recommend her that's why I gave her a tip . The dude who's a manager was a mellow dude he asked if everything was okay and he wasn't even serving us . If you love hooters because of these brain washed hot chicks I would rather have the guy be the waiter and the girl Valentina because they are on their A game.
(2)Danielle C.
We often come to hooter's on Mondays for endless wings and have progressively gotten worse and worse service every single time. Last night was the last straw, our server Stephanie was down right terrible. She not only gave attitude when we Bothered to have her come over to ask for another drink, but rolled her eyes at us and ignored us so she could sit with a table full of men. Yes, I understand as a female that I am not your main concern at Hooter's. However, my money is just as good as theirs, and I probably tip a whole heck of a lot more then a guy there just to look at your body. Stephanie was uneducated with the menu and proceeded to overcharge a friend in our group for a drink that was stated a dollar cheaper on the menu. Will not be returning for awhile.
(1)Doug C.
This hooters has a great atmosphere, great food, great service and a great selection of girls waiting on tables! For a truly unique dining experience ask to sit with the lovely Jia. Charming, beautiful, sexy, funny, fun and full of life she makes any time spent there worthwhile!
(5)Donna Y.
Happy hour is between 4-7 they have half off appetizers. I ordered a medley of tater tots, shrimp, Flapper wings, beef sliders and chicken sliders. The food was good for the value but the Beer selection could use a spruce... It's is pretty standard.
(3)Karen T.
I took a guy friend of mine here the other night and the bartender Monica has to hate life to have that bad of an attitude and bad of service, instead of getting our beers we had to sit and watch her eat two plates full of food. Not only that but her eating manners were far from good. The manager walked by her doing that and said nothing to her. As a former Hooters Girl it is a shame that the quality of girls has gone down that drastically. Trust me don't bother this Hooters represents none of the traditionally Hooters environment qualities!
(1)Jessi K.
So I admit I only come on Mondays and Wednesdays. The service here is a hit or a miss. There was one time I went it and waited 45 minutes for a waitress. There was also a time I got the wrong wing flavor and the waitress swore up and down I ordered it. Overall I come for the wings and cheese fries, The Strip N Chicken is amazing.
(3)Erica A.
The service was slow even when the restaurant was not busy. They asked how I wanted my burger cook and I said medium but got a well done burger. The service got even slower as the restaurant picked up. Thankfully my husband and I drove separately because I had to leave before we even got the bill to take our son home and our server was no where to be found! Coming from someone who use to be a server I'm usually very patient but this was way too slow of service!
(1)Megan P.
Came in for a friends birthday and had a party of 11 people. The food was really good my boyfriend loved the Baja Burger! But the big problem was that the food took over an hour to arrive! I mean I understand that it takes longer for a bigger party, but our waiter could have been better at her job. The waiter had an attitude! She didn't check up on us until near the end so I didn't get a refill on my drink. I'll definitely come back but hope to get a different server. We had to talk to the manager in the end to get the rest of our order in.
(2)Bill R.
This Hooter's is still one of the best in the DC area. But if you go there on Superbowl Sunday expect a LONG wait for your food (1 hour or longer) until after half time. This is due to the number of takeout orders they have coming in for all the Superbowl parties going on.
(3)Eddie K.
It's Hooters - what else can I say. I loved the original Rockville location and was surprised they took over the old Copelands. But I have to say the new space has a much larger bar and more seats. They have great weekly specials and even have late night happy hour deals. The waitresses are cute and try hard. They are assigned a lot of tables but all is forgotten when they smile and treat you great :). Hard to believe, but when I am not in the mood for their awesome wings, I enjoy their oysters, shrimp and crab legs. Still not a fan of boneless wings, but they have a great special on Wednesdays - $6.99 for 10 boneless wings with fries and dressing. On Mondays after 6 PM, they have all you can eat wings for $12.99 each.
(4)Michael G.
Just got my food after waiting for an hour. Didn't see our waitress for 30 minutes after being seated, had to flag down a host to grab us a pitcher. Tonight was a big sport night (game 7 for caps and 5 for wizards) but clearly there is an issue with staffing and the general quality of service. Management needs to step their game up!
(1)Richard N.
WILL NO LONGER BE GOING TO THIS HOOTERS LOCATION Our party of 3 walked in this past Sunday at a non-peak time between lunch and dinner. Plenty of empty tables everywhere. Stood by the hostess stand for a few minutes with servers walking right by us, like we were invisible. Flagged someone down and asked if we could sit at a table near the bar. One of the servers that walked right by us without greeting us then says "Oh ya, I was going to say you could sit there."...................No you weren't. We sit down, and proceed to wait well over 5 minutes with no sign of a "hello," "one second I'll be right over,"......NOTHING. Even someone I assume to be a manager (blue polo) walks by like we're not there. No water, No order taken, not even a hello. I don't expect 5-star service from a restaurant like Hooters, but to not even be given a greeting from a single employee is inexcusable. We left and headed down the street to BWW where we received MUCH better service. Even on our way out of Hooters, nobody noticed. Your employees are poorly trained in customer service and your management obviously doesn't care either.

Have gone many times in the past. Was always good. Went last Saturday and I may never go again. Service was lousy, food way below past visits quality and staff verified on surly. I was looking forward to the mini burgers but they came on a dry bun with a pickle. ..nothing else. I had to get up from the table twice to get service. Not likely to return there.

Poor service. Can't get the order right waited over an hour for the food to get the order messed . up fries very stale. Chicken had feathers left on it. Worst hooter ever been to, come here for bike night. Might well eat somewhere else then come here.

As a Floridian, coming from the Clearwater area and usually visiting the original Hooters regularly, this location is a sad reflection of the franchise. This is the 2nd time I have visited this location since moving from the Clearwater area and both times were horrible. Not only are the waitresses inattentive but the food was not up to par in comparison to the original Hooters. This time our waitress Lekeshia never brought us utensils or plates for our appetizer, so after noticing several other waitresses getting utensils from a silverware holder near the soda fountain I just got up and got them myself. Also, the expediter brought us our food and the waitress never came back to check on us. So at this point we didn't have napkins (which we needed extras since we brought our 2 kids), just the utensils and all of us needed refills on our drinks. We finally did get refills, by the time we were ready for the check. My husband and his friend ordered wings and both said they were ok, but they came out luke warm. I ordered fish and chips, but subbed the "chips" for tots...I never did get the tots. What I did receive is a plate full of cold mushy fries topped with greasy, over-fried cod that tasted bland. Needless to say none of us were impressed with the food or the wait staff here. We will not be returning to this location after 2 failed attempts of basically the same issues. If I could give this place zero stars I would have.

Wow worst service ever in my experience! Walked in last night when the place was half full, took 45 minutes to finally take our because she wanted to take her sweet time at a point where i just about to leave. Got our food in a timely manner but after that she would go sit to talk to one of her friends at a table like we didn't matter. My wings were dry and bland, definitely not coming back again , bww is way better!

Nobody goes to hooters just for the wings. The 3 star review by default says "A-OK" but i feel more like it is "EH-OK". The main thing this place has going for it is that it is cheap. They need to hire more big girls. I'm from Texas and as know that's cattle country. "MOOOOOOOO", I say. I like 'em big with a lotta milk. The dairy section at this shop is a little lacking if you know what i mean. I need something I can rest my head on and say,"night, Night".

Beautiful staff, but the food is horrible!!! I ordered the boneless buffalo chicken, buffalo shrimp and buffalo shrimp spinach salad, medium heat on all. I ordered blue cheese as my dip. This was a to go order. When I got home, there was no buffalo sauce on on any of the orders...so much for medium heat! The salad dressing was certainly out of a bottle. It tasted like the dressing you are forced to use that was discovered in a hidden part of your fridge you haven't visited in a year or so. The spinach looked as if it was swimming in this bottled dressing for several hours prior to be served. There was a few crumbles of cheese, not enough in my mind. There was one container of ranch for dipping (I hate ranch!). The chicken had way too much breading but was crispy. All of the shrimp, however, were practically inedible (way too small, overdone, and soggy breading etc) . I couldn't finish the meal. I will never go there to eat next time, only for the sites.

I'm so mad because I can't remember the waitress's name. We went there on Sunday @ around 6:30pm and had the best time! The waitress was very very nice, and the food was amazing. She had stated that she was new to the job, and had a country accent. African American, long hair, very friendly. I hope her manager will know who she is. They stepped up their game here BIG TIME. The food was delicious, we just ate wings and apps. The Honey BBQ Habenero wings were to die for! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
(5)Chaz C.
After a number of vists here I dislike this place. The food is decent, staff varies, location is okay and managment is fine except for this bitchy selfish uncaring blond woman who is one of the managers. My friends always wants to go here and after having to experience experience her passively abusive disservice, I do as much as I can to avoid going here. Its bee nearly a year since I have gone here and I don't miss being treated like my money means nothing when I have a complaint gets tiresome especially when the food is mediocre at best.

You may be wondering 1) what the hell I was doing in Rockville and 2) why I went to Hooters; if you were to ask me, I'd be all like, 1) don't worry about it and 2) WINGS. Also boobs. But mainly wings. Except I didn't end up getting wings. You know, Hooters' wings are good and all, but sometimes I like to be adventurous (and believe me I know that it's a real gamble). So while my companions got themselves some wings, I went with the Texas Melt. It's like a patty melt on steroids. We also got some deep-fried deliciousness on the side, namely the Lots-a-Tots, Fried PIckles, and fries with some sort of cheese sauce. Unfortunately the fried pickles didn't come with the sauce that usually accompanies them (they'd run out), so I got ranch instead. You should know that the fried pickles at Hooters are chips, not spears, which definitely works in their favor. I was pleasantly surprised by the Texas Melt. The meat was cooked to the right temperature (I asked for medium because, dude, it's Hooters and I didn't know what to expect) and had a nice juiciness to it. It was not a bit dry nor bland; I was pleased. The fries aren't bad, but they could be better. The fries pickles are awesome, as was the wing that I sampled--but you already knew that, because eeeeveryone goes to Hooters for the wings, right? The service? Would you expect anything less than friendly? Our server was small, super cute, and was definitely qualified to work there.
(4)Sabra R.
I love their wings! I always order mine the same way---hot, naked, fried hard, all flappers. Delicious!! The only downside is that they don't travel well AT ALL. I ordered some to go recently and by the time I got them home, all of the crispness was gone. Also, Hooters needs to come up with a new sauce. The "hot" isnt hot enough and "3 mile" is far too hot. And unfortunately, there's nothing in between. I have to agree that the service at the Rockville location is pretty crappy. The girls at the bar appear to be more focused on chatting amongst themselves than they are on taking orders.
(3)B F.
A couple of friends of mine and I went here last night around 9:30. There was no one to seat us so we sat ourselves. We waited a long time for EVERYTHING...service, drinks, food. My friend ordered garlic parmesan wings and was given REGULAR wings. After asking about them, the RIGHT wings were quickly made. It was awful. Maybe because it was late....?
(1)Elias V.
Came in yesterday afternoon, prompt greeting from hostess, we were quickly seated. Our server Taysue approached us almost right away, she was friendly and quick with our orders. Wings and Fries did not disappoint, I must say everything was delicious. I have always enjoyed the hooters wings and have come to this location multiple times. I can say again they did not let me down and I left full. I wanted to order more food but I had the just right feeling in my stomach. I don't have reason to mirror the negative reviews prior, I myself have had nothing but great food and service here. Parking lot needs a bit of a make over though.
(4)Kenny C.
Been to Maryland, Florida, NCarolina, and Wash, DC locations. They're pretty much like each other: wings, burgers, nachos...etc. But in Rockville, MD, it's awesome!! Some of the ladies are very funny and personable, so I make sure to only deal with those each time I come through. Perfect execution at the bar with StephyD, Victoria, Shabon, Monica, Kaitlin. Then to the dining room; Macy, Tiffany, Shelby, Charlie, Laura, Holly, Lilly, Gabby, Evie, & Ms Asia.
(4)Jim S.
The food was OK at best. The wings were OK, but not enough to get excited about. We also had sliders, and they also were not special at all. The girls, are not anything special either. They were mediocrely attractive, but none smiled or made eye contact. Very odd. My wife even commented on it. The prices were far too high for the quality of food and staff.
(2)Winner R.
Visiting this place for the first time. Service needed some improvement. Took them a while to take out initial drink order. Then it took about a half an hour before the drinks showed up. Then the didnt show up for 25 more minutes to take out orders. Eventually the food showed up. Food was pretty good. Had the wings and the fried pickles cant go wrong with that stuff. If your patient and dont mind waiting this is a pretty good place for you.
(3)Eric W.
Been here twice now. The first time, things were super slow. Took forever to get the check, etc. Second shot, took forever to get our beers and check. The food is decent and like any other Hooters but service is key and they are lacking here. Perhaps we don't look like we will pay more tip for flirting, I dunno. We get ignored and Ill probably ignore this location for a while.
(2)Christopher M.
Holly waited on six of us and she did a great job on a busy day. Great place to watch football.
(5)Eddie D.
One word.... BLAH! I don't know how they operate, but when we walk in, no one greeted us, and there was no sign said "Seat your self". So we waited and waited, then few other people came in after us and we all stood there waited. Finally a waitress came over and told use to grab any seat. But later we saw other patron got seated by other waitress. Than my friend presented a coupon for a "free appetizer with a drink purchase" to waitress, she start arguing the coupon is not good on an ice tea drink, she "think" is only good with an alcohol purchase. Ah, what do you with an ice tea? Take a bath with it? I got a burger with curly fries. Wow. Some nasty food, fries were cold, buns were cold, and the patty didn't taste like beef at all. I never finished the meal. I know they are not famous for their food, but this is not even closed to worth eating.
(1)Elly S.
Yes, I'm a girl. And yes, I do *love* Hooters! It's true! I am actually a "regular" here at the Rockville location. I come in once a week for trivia night, wings, tots, and beer. How could I not give the place that has everything I love in one spot 5 stars?! This particular Hooters is actually my favorite Hooters location out of all the ones I've been to - and I've been to most of the ones up and down the Mid-Atlantic. The girls who work here, as well as the management, are all very sweet and courteous. And when they see another girl come in, they are even nicer to you. Sometimes, if we get one of our regular waitresses, she'll even hang out at the table for a few minutes to catch up with us, which I love, because she can certainly go to other tables and flirt her tip up. The wings are also fantastic! We usually go with 50 pieces, and we especially love the Daytona ones! As others have said, the tots are incredible. I'm partial to the "Cheez Whiz" type sauce they use, and just ask for extra sour cream on top. It's probably several thousand calories, but they are well worth it! The pièce de résistance though, is their FRICKLES. That's right, fried pickles - chips, not spears - served with this tasty, tangy sauce. One order is never enough for our table of four, because we just can't stop snacking on them! They also have incredible tv's, that are new, and no matter where you are sitting, you will have a great view of several of them. This is a great spot to catch games with your friends and gain a few pounds while you're doing that. On Wednesday nights they also host trivia, and quite a few people come out just for that, so if you're ever there on a Wednesday, look for me!
(5)Kevin C.
Speaking strictly from a food perspective, as of 02/02/2014, the wings were much improved. They were larger and tastier than before. The frickles were alright, but not crispy enough. Could have watched the superbowl at a better venue, but this location had a table in a pinch. Worked out well.
(3)Zack H.
Hooters seems to be the hangout of my friends in the area, so I thought I would try it out. The Hooters girls here are above-average at best. As servers, they're not bad, but it's clear they really, really don't like their job. The average server here is in their mid-to-late 20's. You might expect to see a guy or two working here during your time eating or drinking; however, they'll be in the kitchen (or they'll be the manager). The food is typical for Hooters. The boneless wings were on the smaller side, although some bites were better than others. The 911 Sauce tasted like typical buffalo wing sauce -- not good for a place whose food specialty is wings. The Cajun Sauce also was lacking. However, the Daytona Sauce is to die for. It is absolutely perfect. I personally felt like the chicken sandwich was better than their chicken wings. What is their best menu item, though? Easy: their fried pickles. No contest. Their fried pickles might be some of the best in the DC area. The interior is large and always clean. There's also dozens of tvs throughout the restaurant. That's not what most people are here for. They're here for the girls. They have posters EVERYWHERE. You can't walk in here without getting a constant reminder of how they sell sex. While I did like some things about this place, I felt like it could be improved.

Shrimp po boy is on point...unfortunately the lady behind the bar is kind of a b***h. Ill be back but ill get a table this time.
(3)V F.
My first time going to Hooters and I had a horrible experience at this location. I was attending a conference at a near by hotel and colleague suggested that we go for there for lunch. Long story short....there were only a few people in the restaurant and it took 45 minutes for the food to arrive. When it did come the orders were wrong and she forgot to enter 1 person (it was only 4 of us) order. We asked for the manger and he seemed not to care....no apologize...just okay and a look that said "what you want me to do".... I guess if we were a group of men it would have been different...
(1)Phi N.
I don't know how I haven't reviewed Hooters yet... I could have sworn I did; I've at here so many times. The new location in Rockville has all new LG plasma TVs and there are several pretty hot girls here at this location. More than I can say for the other ones I've been to... They'll often show UFC fights and always have sports games on. The 911 wings here are on point. Sure they're bad for you (866 calories for 5 wings) but they're worth the unhealthiness! Breaded buffalo wings with ranch. Mmmmm! Curly fries are really good here, really salty. I like to keep my blood pressure high!... Lots of people like the fried pickles but I'm not a fan of pickles so it didn't work out for me. Another item you may want to order is the buffalo chicken sandwich with cheese and bacon. It can't be healthy for you... but hey, good food never is! **Update: Lemon pepper and cajun wings are average. Lemon pepper was a little dry**
(5)Jim L.
Ok, after the last visit which service-wise wasn't up to par, Alexis from corporate emailed me to see what happened? Wow, wasn't expecting anyone to contact me! Whatever was done, my friends and I have seen a dramatic improvement! It was like the Hooter's of years ago. The gals appeared to be having fun, which coincided with great service when I was there last week with a friend. Nice greeting when we walked in, immediate acknowledgement by our server, and cold beers within 5 min at our table. Hmmm.... I did notice that those that were dressed more appropriately and not as though they hadn't showered all day were given better service? hint hint guys....if you smell like a sewer, I wouldn't go near you yet alone serve you promptly! Thanks all! Keep it up!

How's this for the wings. It says on the side "only 10 cents for extra piece in increment of 10" Ha! If I order the 10 piece, that will be 8.99 then extra 10 more that will be extra 1 dollar.......Wrong......it is extra 10 cents each piece for the flavor.....bwahahahaha, I have the waitress explain clearly hahaha. But the wings is soooooo good tho! And Laura is Hooooooot!
(5)Marty H.
This actually moved to 1584 Rockville Pike. My favorite wings, great for watching games, Wednesday trivia night.
(5)Chelsea T.
My coworkers and I come here fairly regularly for weekday lunches and almost always have a great time. Today, we were waited on by Stephanie, who was polite enough taking our order and our food came out fairly quickly. After we took our first couple of bites, she stopped by the table and I assumed she was checking in to see if we needed anything. Instead of asking how we were doing, she asked if we could pay our check because she needed to leave. We had just gotten our food and still had almost an hour left on our lunch break, and as a server myself, I find it incredibly tacky to rush guests through their lunch based on your schedule. She dropped the check and immediately circled back to see if we had put out a card, which, as a subtle sign of protest at her behavior, we hadn't. Still mid-meal, we paid and she immediately came to pick up the signed copy to collect her tips, then less than 5 minutes later, cruised by our table in street clothes and headed out the door. We didn't interact with a single employee for the remainder of our time there, no plates cleared, offer of another round, etc. Being treated this way as a paying customer really sucks. Bummer.
(2)Martin R.
We ordered, their special hot wings with the blue cheese, and after waiting for about 2 hours and almost leaving from boredom they brought the wings plus the hamburger, the food wasn't that good, I mean after waiting 2 hours to eat, even a piece of hard bread seems delicious. The waiter came by just a few times for refills, but very cold and bitter, not even a smile on her face. So after we finished eating we decided to spare everyone the pain and leave as quick as possible, paid the bill and left her no tip, because if one goes to restaurant it's to have a pleasant experience and good customer service, otherwise I would have gone to mcdonalds or ordered the same wings from pizza hut and it would have been a lot cheaper, a lot faster and if after all that I still was interested in seeing hot girls, good old fashioned porn, and still cheaper, faster and more enjoyable.
(1)Bryan C.
My number one spot to go to. Always beer ready to flow. Prices are great. Perfect place to hang out and snack. Always a positive experience for me. I was raised in Rockville and have been going there for years!
(5)Super P.
A colleague of mine ordered 'hot wings' a few weeks ago and her wings came dry. I also ordered 'hot wings' recently, and they were also dry (as in no sauce). They were also greasier that someone's hair styled with Soul Glo. Service there sucks. On other occasions, the food has been sub-par. No, I'm not bitter that the hot boobie girls wouldn't sit on my lap or fawn over me at the door; I got over that a few weeks ago. I think as a whole, Hooters is going down-hill. In all fairness, this isn't the only hooters to almost give me food poisoning.
(1)Kevin Y.
i swear, i only come here for the wings. and that's what she said this location is interesting. i prefer the DC one because i like ladies of color, and this one feels like you are in south georgia with bikers and girls that have glasses.
(4)Kat L.
Its hooters. The wings were o.k. I've had better at Hooters in OKC, and everywhere else in Florida. I was excited that they had tator tots! I actually asked for 'sliced american' cheese on my tots instead of that cheese product sauce, and they obliged. Good deal. Came out piping hot, and melted all over the tots! The girls are friendly, but not all that attentive. After going to school, and traveling Florida, I expect more from Hooter girls. They're a big reason we go there! I give this particular HOOTERS a HUGE thumbs up due to the fact that they have the cleanest, nicest, most modern bathroom I've seen outside of a neiman marcus. To me thats damn important! Tons of tvs, and its not overly loud that you can't hear yourself think (until they sing happy birthday).
(3)Christina S.
This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. We were looking for a chill spot to enjoy some food and drink on a patio on a gorgeous evening. From the moment we walked in, service was awful. The hostess and server struggled with everything from seating us to our drink order. 15/20 minutes to get our cocktails which were made incorrectly and the servers appearance was so scarce that when we made the decision to just stop after the drinks, I had to go search for her with credit card in tow to get us out of there. 1 hour from the time we entered to exited and all we had to show for it was wrong drinks. Won't go back for any reason.
(1)Jessica S.
For UFC fights, best place to go. One problem service is ok.
(4)Vishal S.
I come to this location of Hooters for the wings - that is something Hooters does well! Services is A-Ok but they have always been busy every time I have been here. Guess that has to be expected here right? Curly fries are good too! So try out this place for wings, fries, and beer! If you calling is something vegetarian or helathy - go someplace else!
(4)MacKenzie W.
No, I'm not just ripping this Hooter's because I'm a girl. In fact, I usually love Hooter's. AND I used to love this location circa 2011-early 2012. Came here for the first time in about a year for college football and it was HORRIBLE. Sat at the bar...first poor choice. The bartender (Monica I believe) ignored my boyfriend and I for 10 minutes or so and when she finally came over to us and took our orders, she acted like we were inconveniencing her. We got the all you can eat wings deal. They were nice and crispy and came out super hot but the sauce was minimal--I expect better, Hooter's! Especially with BWW right down the road. Bartender continued her poor service throughout the game by leaving our beer glasses empty while she flirted with her boyfriend/friend/maybe just a customer(?) at the end of the bar. She kept yelling to her manager asking to get cut when she had 6 or 7 customers at the bar!! When she brought us our bill she slapped it on the bar and didn't even say have a nice night. Also of note, one of the waitresses brought her VERY young son to work with her...maybe a 3 or 4 year old little boy. He was running around the bar smacking patrons with a hula hoop with zero supervision. I understand that sometimes the babysitter falls through, but come on, a bar is no place for a child, especially if he's bothering everyone else! Won't be coming here for game day...had they treated us better, it would likely have become our regular place since it's right down the street!
(2)Jeff J.
Hooters could be a really nice restaurant if they would totally redo the menu. They need a new food supplier. Only thing they serve thats even tolerable is the salad and thats not very good either. Ill still visit once in a while because its a fun place to go and the girls are great.
(2)marky m.
***DOUBLECHECK YOUR CHECK!*** They tried to add on extra beers that we had never ordered or received. I talked to the black male manager (took him A LONG TIME to pull himself away from flirting with all the female employees) he then basically calls me a liar when I try to calmly discuss the issue. I told him i didnt give a damn about the few extra dollars but it was all about the principal...
(2)Debbie D.
I have tried wings all over town and decided to see what the guys have been talking about all these years. I never really believed it when guys said they were coming here for the "wings." Actually, the wings are pretty darn good! Lots of light, golden batter and not too greasy. The only thing I would ask is they kick up the spice. I ordered the super hot ones ("911"), added hot sauce and it was still a very mild flavor. Good flavor but very mild. They give you very little celery with the wings. The service is very friendly. The theme is definitely there but not uncomfortably so. Lots of TV's. Useful things to know about this Hooters is that it is open later than just about anything else in Rockville and they have free WiFi there.
(4)Harvey D.
I have been to this Hooters a couple of times and I have to say that it's just average as far as Hooters goes. I really don't veer to much from the wings and curly fries which are both very good. The service can be good or bad although the last time I was there, the waitress was pretty attentive and only seemed to disappear when I was trying to pay the check. The girls are also not that great in the looks dept. and usually only one or two are worth more than a single glance. In the DC area, this is probably one of the better Hooters but that's still not saying much.
(3)Jason C.
One of the few decent places to watch sports game in the Rockville area (the only other place I can think of is Buffalo Wild Wings in Town Center). Large screens, tons of games, decent wings and beer, and AHEM the servers. Need I say more?
(3)Moritz R.
Despite massive power outages, the staff here did a great job to a packed house watching the Euro 2012 final.
(4)P K.
Awesome wings! Atmosphere is not so family friendly, but I have taken my kids and it is ok. Service is good.
(4)Brett M.
I love HOOTERS wings! They are awesome! My only complaint about this location is that our waitress kept getting lost. This is especially annoying when it is all you can eat wings night and the portions are kind of small.
(3)Joan K.
Time and time again, I'm always super happy that we get attentive service despite our demographic (couples, single girls, guys that don't drink) and the way we order (one or two things at a time every 15 minutes, for at least an entire football game or two). Sundays almost always have $3.50 Bud/BudLight specials that are perfect for getting sloppy for the games. Unfortunately, I almost always prefer to go to Buffalo Wild Wings for game-watching because their food is much better. BUT there is a lot to be said for a place that welcomes you with no judgement after having made a ridiculous drunken fool of yourself just a week before.
(3)James G.
Service is extremely hit and miss here. Sometimes it's good, but when it's bad it's horrible. Sat there for 20 minutes before I got fed up and left. Never going back.
(1)Marc H.
I remember when Hooters used to have HOT girls working there. I'm sure it's a function of being in Rockville, but come on, they have to have some standards when hiring these girls. First off, the place is called Hooters.... not Raisins. Sexist? Sure, but hey, that's the entire mission of this place; to provide eye candy for guys while serving good food and a beer. Luckily for my friend and I, we sat at the bar, and the girl that worked there certainly fit the prototypical Hooters model. Ok enought about the girls. The food. M.E.H. I don't love the wings here... the naked ones aren't bad, and the garlic sauce is actually pretty decent, but the blue cheese dressing sucks and the hot wings are subpar (I think I actually got the 911 sauce). The one thing that was surprisingly good, and super fat steez, was the Lots-o-Tots appetizer. It's tater tots with nacho cheese, bacon, sour cream, and scallions. Pretty freakin good actuallly. The beer selection is booty, so I decided to go for a ketel and soda with olives. Also, since they've moved locations, I like the fact that they have new TVs with DirecTV Sunday Ticket package. So in summation: Girls aren't as hot as they should be, food is average, service is good, and they have free wifi and the Sunday ticket. Will I go back? Sure, why not. So why two stars? It's a Hooters, hot girls are supposed to be working there. That's why.
(2)Ms. Review S.
Everyone I know has been telling me how great Hooters is, so I finally caved and tried it. I ordered a grilled chicken salad (yes, I know, you don't order a grilled chicken salad at Hooters, but I did). The chicken was rubbery, the dressing came in peel top containers, and the whole thing just lacked flavor. The others in my party weren't impressed with the food at this Hooters location either (and they didn't order a salad). The service was decent, our waitress was attentive and friendly.
(2)Stephanie D.
Hot girls!!!!! Cold beer!!!!!
(5)Cameron B.
When the boss is away, the work buddies will play. Hooters has no specials, no happy hours, and no judgments. It has plenty of Blue Moon in pitchers, wings, curly fries and t.v. screens, and probably pictures of me stumbling back to work after a two hour lunch! The waitresses never mind, and won't tell your boss!!
(3)Carson H.
If you want to watch the game with a cheap special, then this is the place to do it! The staff is cool and super helpful and the food is relatively cheap and quick. Never really crowded, but always just busy enough to not feel dead. Terrible date spot (unless she likes football), but a great place to hang with the guys on a Saturday or Sunday evening. Oh yea, the food.... yeah, its edible.
(3)Miguel M.
I love HOOTERS!!! And the restaurant is ok too. In my bad boy days, I used to frequent Hooters in LA all the time. The drinks and food were all good and reasonably priced. This Hooters, however, is the worst breastaurant... er, restaurant I have been too. For starters, the service was John McCain slow. Probably because the Hooter girls were busy splashing water on themselves and on our table (true story). We were seated next to the soda machines and the girls started throwing water at each other and it got out of control and some of the water splashed on me and my food. I never thought I would hate two girls in wet shirts. But I do now, sadly. I ordered the boneless chicken wings and a grey goose martini (I know, who orders a grey goose martini at Hooters???) The wings were an absolute disaster. It was coated with an inch thick layer of batter and the texture was really dry and hard. The grey goose martini was strong, but very bitter. I had also ordered water and since it took forever for the water to arrive, I drank from it without looking at the cup. Halfway through the water, I noticed that the inside had some white mold-like substance attached inside the cup with 1 hair dangling inside. I almost puked and called the waitress. She thought it was super disgusting and showed all the hooter girls. No apology was given. I don't like giving 1 stars out willy-nilly, so I decided to give it another try. The next time I went, there was a 2 hour wait!!! Turns out that that night, Hooters was showing a mixed martial arts fight (UFC 100) and that drew out all the steroid taking wannabe fighters to Hooters. This Hooters just doesn't like me.
(1)Sue H.
Okay, okay, so a review by a girl of the food at Hooters. Can you say: "irrelevant." Fair point. But still, how hard is it to have a few decent salads, a veggie burger, an app or two that is not fried, or a salad dressing not served in a foil-sealed plastic cup? My friend and I hit Hooters after boxing at LA Boxing across the street. We were wrung out by the work out and famished. Met our men there, watched the Caps blow out Montreal, and just wanted some non-toxic fare. No luck. Cobb salad is "designed" with fried chicken. Apps include fried pickles, fried cheese, fried wings, and...french fries. Ick. And the wings and fried stuff wasn't all that great anyway. Oh. Yes. Our waitress was rail-thin and packed a heckuva rack. So maybe food is a completely gratuitous feature of the outing. But our bill came. $30/person with tip (for aforementioned server). Eh, next time I'll wait in line at Houstons.

I love the wings here, I have been enjoying wings at Hooters for many, many years! Today though, I was extremely displeased. I ordered an iced tea and the 5 piece flappitizer. I ordered my wings breaded plain with my sauce on the side and an order of ranch. When my wings arrived, they were exactly how I ordered them and they were hot. However, when my bill arrived, this is where I had a problem. On my bill, there was a line under my wings that read "Extra Medium $.89". I called over the server to inform her that there was a mistake as I asked for my sauce on the side and that's exactly how it came. "Lillian," my server proceeded to inform me that they charge when the sauce is on the side. I then informed her that I did not receive "extra" sauce and that on the side is not "extra." She again told me that apparently in the past, I have not been charged when I should have. This has completely ruined my enjoyment at Hooters. Yes, it may be a charge of only $.89, but, the fact is, I ordered my sauce on the side so I can control how much I ingest. So you're telling me that i'm now being "punished" financially for controling the amount of sauce that I prefer with my chicken? In all my years of enjoying Hooters wings, I have never, ever been charged to have the sauce on the side. For the reason that my meal was as I ordered, I am giving 2 stars. I also called to speak to a manager, I was placed on hold until the call ended. This is NOT good customer service.

People say they come here for the wings. But honestly, IMHO, the wings are not really notable. I have a feeling they come for something else... The guys got together here a few times earlier last year to watch 'Skins games (I miss those days they were a happy 6-2). You can get wings breaded or naked. The breaded wings are way too heavy for my liking. The naked wings are decent, though at times a bit dry. I get the "Philly" cheesesteak. It's kinda bad - yet at the same time decent enough that I always order it. Can't really explain why. My friends enjoy the fried pickles. The place nickel and dimes their patrons. Extra charge for celery with your wings? Extra charge for blue cheese? It's the Hooter's way. Service is inconsistent. I've never had excellent service, but it ranges from decent to crappy. Overall an OK place to watch the hometown game. Barely 3.

I have a few friends who are regulars here. They spent a ton of money in this place and are well known. With that said, they still can't get any service in this establishment. I have only joined them twice and each time, the service was slow, not overly friendly and the food just not good. Now, I do want to say that I love the wings, and that I have been to other locations also, but the rest of the Hooters menu is just no good. Everything is fried and nothing has any flavor. It is very clear that these are not execution issues but corporate's choice of products. I will continue to visit Hooters near and far if it strikes my fancy, but wings are the only items I would recommend. And since these days they offer free WiFi, perhaps it will help you kill time while you wait for your good looking but probably useless waitress to make her rounds.

The food is pretty good, I mean its hooters what do you expect lol just a bunch of fried good food, the service how ever SUCKS went with a group of freinds once every one split there bills I paid my half and went out for a smoke soon all my freinds came out and one of them said they had to pay for me because the waiter I already paid said I didnt pay and left, we got it taken care of but it was sketchy since I paid with cash there was some question asking, Also one time we went there sat down and no one came to help us for like 20 minutes so we just left. Overall food is good Service not so good but suit your self cmon its hooters lol.

Update - HOOTERS MOVED TO WHERE THE COPELAND'S USED TO BE (near Fuddruckers). It's only a couple of blocks south, but don't head towards the Circuit City anymore. Props to Diana for loving this place. Every time I suggest this place when the group is mixed, I definitely get a lot of "mixed looks" from the ladies. But I swear, the food is great....or should I say greasy? Well I guess great and greasy can be interchangeable when it comes to food. 3 people = 50 wings + 2-3 pitchers + carrots/celery for balance. I definitely recommend the naked. Breaded can be a little too much. I challenge ladies out there to give it a shot and don't judge a book by its skimpy-tight cover.

Hooters girls, 2 Shock Top pitchers, and 50 wings. Lots and lots of TVs. Helluva night.

I have been to about half a dozen Hooters over the years, and this one ranks near the bottom. I came because my girlfriend was craving some peel n eat shrimp and I wanted wings. Plus, she had never been and claimed she had to see this fiasco first hand. The restaurant itself is nice since it is pretty new with flat screens and nice new furniture. However, being here with a girl pretty much ensured us poor service. The waitress was slow and checked on us about half as much as the other tables and spend 10 minutes trying to sell merchandise to a single guy at the table next to us. The actual food was about as good as I have had at Hooters, but I'm in no hurry to get back.

I come here for the wings... really? I actually do. Hooters does have some of the best wings in the area. Now they have different flavors to choose from besides for the regular hot/mild/911 there is garlic cheese, honey bbq, cajun and a few others I don't remember off the top of my head. You can order them breaded or naked. The waitresses can be hit or miss if that's what you're going for. There are lots of big screen TV's in HD to watch all of your NASCAR action. The only thing that is annoying is the waitresses are always trying to sell those dumb calenders or whatever other crap they sell there besides for food. Give it a break already, and If I don't want to buy any of that crap for the millionth time because I'm over the age of 12 or do not enjoy NASCAR racing, leave me alone please. Don't make me feel guilty about not buying it because u give 5% of the profit to helping the soldiers in Afghanistan. Ok sorry for the rant, I'm heading to Hooters for lunch now that I've made myself hungry, hopefully there will be some talent on lunch shift today.. and oh yeah did I mention they have good wings?
