My wife doesn't approve me coming here but Hooters was my only option tonight since I was staying nearby. This place wasn't the cleanest from the moment I entered but the staff was friendly. I had a simple meal of wings, fries and maybe a few drinks. Overall, I left feeling satisfied since the food was cooked well. Margaritas were really good, though I'm not a fan of all their prices going up. This place is more on the quieter end of the spectrum too so it's not too busy or loud when I arrived. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back for a casual visit in the near future. read more

Jules was too worried about hanging with her regular to give a shit about anyone else at the bar. Back to the usual bullshit service. read more

I'm not ashamed to admit that I absolutely love Hooters. Yes, they are a little hit or miss, but when they are good they are REALLY good. Yes, I know they're a chain and there's a certain joke about why people go there, but I swear the wings and food are actually pretty good! The servers are always super friendly and the food comes out fast and fresh, and that's always appreciated. Their boneless wings with the Samurai Teriyaki are my favorite (you can get them bone-in, I just prefer them boneless and less messy). You absolutely have to get a side of their ranch to dip your wings, curly fries, and anything else in. Speaking of the curly fries, they are also one of our fave sides to get, but with their cheese sauce for dipping, too, not just ranch. You can also get some cheesy goodness with their chips and queso appetizer. It's not the same cheese you'll get with the curly fries and my husband said the queso is too spicy, but I didn't mind it. I also love to get their fried pickles as a starter, which is my go-to anywhere that serves them. Hooters' are lightly breaded and so tasty - not super crunchy with the breading falling off like other places I've had them! My husband usually gets the dry rubs on his roasted wings, but he said on our last visit the Chesapeake Rub was way too salty and almost inedible. They have a few desserts, and our favorite is the Chocolate Mousse Cake. Fluffy chocolate mousse between three layers of dense chocolate cake. It's so rich that it's definitely one to share. If you're in the area (we usually go when we're seeing a movie at the AMC in Council Bluffs), definitely give this Hooters a try and you may find a new regular wing spot. read more

15 minutes before we even seen a waitress. Not busy. Waitresses not friendly, looked like they didn't want to be there. Took another 25 minutes for food. Appetizer came out at the same time as the meal. Didn't see our waitress until we flagged another down for our ticket. Chicken wings hardly had any sauce. Fries looked like the bottom of the bag. Never going here again read more

Hooters - Curly Fries - Sports Bars Near Me - Council Bluffs, Iowa

I have refrained from writing this review because I just don't like writing bad reviews. But when an establishment puts out bad ju-ju day after day I can not resist from being brutally honest. I do not write negative post for so sort of entertainment but rather to connect with the establishment to say, "Hey, DO BETTER!" and for the public to open your eyes! Lastly, I do NOT spend my money for a service or a product with the intent to be wasteful. Ok, so I'm new to Omaha and trying to find my way around....feeling a little hungry...so I choose an international favorite on Uber Eats because I was sure their food would be consistent. Boy was I wrong! I have order from Hooters (Council Bluffs) three times now and it has been over $100 of wasted money on poorly prepared food. 1st ORDER - Buffalo Platter, Naked Lemon Pepper * General Tso * Chesapeake * Bleu Cheese Dressing * Ranch Dressing. ASSESSMENT: This was a MESS, worse presentation ever, shrimp taste horrible, wings were Dry. Everything taste the same. I actually stopped eating and threw it away. 2nd ORDER - Smoked Wings 15 Smoked Wings * Extra Crispy * Sauce on the Side * Lemon Pepper Dry Rub * Ranch Dressing * Extra Sauces and Dry Rubs * Lemon Pepper Dry Rub ASSESSMENT: I did not receive the order that I made and complained via Uber Eats and received a refund. 3rd ORDER - Smoked Wings 15 Smoked Wings * Extra Crispy * Sauce on the Side * Cajun Dry Rub * Caribbean Jerk Dry Rub * Ranch Dressing ASSESSMENT: This was the finally straw, the wings were NOT smoked, they tasted horrible I can not find the words to express the unsatisfactory feeling I have felt towards the product that this establishment has been sending out over delivery. For as long as I am in Omaha - I will NEVER order, nor waste my money at this establishment because they obviously have a serious problem in the kitchen. read more

I always feel sick after eating here, not sure why. Service is not good if you are a woman it seems? Wish there were more sandwich options.

Place was terrible! Bartender was sitting on the washing station playing on her phone. They charged me extra for dry rub that they put too much on and ranch that I should of got for free! I was so over it and just paid and left. No wonder these places are disappearing! Guessing this one will be gone soon. Place down the street was packed and now I know why! Never again! read more

Absolutely trash can service! Ordered wings and they sat on the warmer forever while my server was out in the parking lot shooting TikTok's. Might I add it was actually the second time they did this. read more

First time at Hooters in years! Went in after attending the OCon convention. Waitress was nice and we got seated quickly. For some reason, I opted for the chicken tender sandwich. It was fair and needed more wing sauce in it because it was pretty dry. Th curly fries were good and the beer cold. Next time I'll get the wings for sure. read more

Made it back here for lunch the other day. Samurai teriyaki and honey siracha from here are my favorite wings of all time! The original wings are thick and meaty too. The service was very good and there is a military discount. read more

Great food service was ok nothing special nothing bad. Typical hooters with lots of tvs. I had my usual boneless wings with a side of fries. The food was delicious full of sauce and came out hot. Negative is that they charge a buck per extra ranch. read more

Hooters - 10 piece Boneless Wingsand Curly Fries - Sports Bars Near Me - Council Bluffs, Iowa

Food/kitchen: Ordered tater tots, 5 wings and 3 chicken tenders. Long wait for food. Wings came still frozen after about 40 minutes of wait time. More wait. Tater tots, supposed to be appetizers, came after the frozen wings. New wings came, second tray still had two cold wings. Server: checked on us when she took the order and we didn't see her again until we flagged her about the frozen wings. Different server dropped off the tater tots. Then another server server came to take our card to pay, i.e., no service from our server. To the server's credit, she dropped off to go boxes at our table, yay... read more

We stopped by for lunch. Chrissy was our server. She was nice. We had the fried pickles and tenders. There was a situation at the table behinds us but the manager handled it with calm professionalism. read more

Long wait on a dead night for the wrong order to arrive. Staff didn't seem to want to serve me since I didn't order a beer. Typical Hooters though. read more

If I could give a -5, I would! My kid got wings with a little extra.... HAIR! Of course he stopped eating. When the server was told about the hair, she said that her manager could give him a little discount or make him more. Why would he want more when there is clearly unhygienic operating practices to allow the hair to be in his wings. As a former restaurant manager, I understand that problems arise. BUT this manager failed! Loosing us as customers for good!!!! We are extremely dissatisfied and will not be advising anyone to go to this establishment! read more

Let me make this as clear as I can. This review is no reflection on the staff. I got to meet Madi tonight. Her 3rd night behind the bar. At first she seemed nervous, but was very nice and attentive to everyone at the bar, and eventually seemed very comfortable. For being a rookie behind the bar, she was awesome. Kudos to you Madi!!! The reason for the 3 stars is the actual food, which I'm sure the individual restaurants have no control over. I've seen bigger wings on a pigeon. They are horribly small. The boneless ones aren't much better. And for the price, they should be a lot better quality. read more

We ordered online and were given information that it would be ready in 20 minutes, 50 minutes later it had not even been started!

The service was good the place was a Hooters... the drinks were weak and the wings were ok. It is a nothing special chain restaurant except for the the woman they parade around in tiny outfits and the loud music/TV's. As you can tell I am not a huge fan of atmosphere. read more

I've only ever left 1 other review for a restaurant that had terrible service. Congratulations Hooters, you are now second on that list. Called ahead at 8:15 and placed an order to go. Eta was 30 minutes away. Girl on the phone happily took my order, told me it would be ready by 8:42. Show up at 8:45 to a note on the door. "Closing early due to lack of kitchen staff". REALLY?!?! In 30 minutes you somehow lost all your staff and said f**k it let's just close early. I was on the road for 12 hours, dinner is out the window, thank god the hotel has snacks. Oh and btw when I placed my order the girl confirmed my phone number... you a**holes couldn't call and give me a heads up. read more

Probably the worst managed restaurant I have been too. My son and I were in there with people and we got wings. He ate about half and found a white hair on the food. He has red hair and I have brown. We told the waitress and she went to the manager. The manager never came over to us at all and the waitress said the manager said we could have a small discount. I told her they should take it off the bill and she said the manager said only a small discount. So the manager screwed the waitress out of a tip because at that point I wasn't leaving one. Plus I had to ask the waitress 3 times for water. Also the manager acted like we were hassling her to turn the TVs to the baseball games for Opening Day. Nobody should ever go here. read more

AVOID!!!!!! Service was terrible. Told no ketchup or forks until after kitchen orders but half the table came out before the other half. Told the waitress to cancel fries and rings that came out after everyone finished eating and she charged us for them. Threw the receipt and credit card at us. Told us they couldn't set 11 of us, sign on the door says 12 maximum and they weren't busy at all, tables open all over. Group walked in after us with 20+ and were sat promptly. Manager disappeared when we left. Worst Hooters ever. read more

Came to Omaha/council bluffs for a cheer competition and while I've been here I still haven't received my food. The waitress did not want to take my order. She said the kitchen messed up my order and after they bought my food it was cooked in old grease. My entire party of 6 had food and I did not. Our waitress never came back to our table. I had to speak when 2 other waitresses and finally I had to get up to speak with a manager. He apologized for his server however the server did not put my order in and once I got it the food was not edible. I will Not be returning to this hooters nor will I be recommending it to anyone in the council bluffs/ Omaha area I have never been so disgusted with food service. And it's my first meal of the day. Whoops not yet because I didn't get any food. read more

Hooters - I never received my food - Sports Bars Near Me - Council Bluffs, Iowa

I placed a simple order online of 10 boneless wings. Nothing else. They did not include the sauce or any silverware or napkins at all. This order was simple and not complex since I only ordered one thing... but got no sauce. No silverware. And no napkins. Disappointed. read more

It's all about the wings... And even though it was a jamming busy Friday night, I sat down quickly and was served right away. Server Shyanne deserves extra kudos. read more

Service was okay, food was rushed and disgusting. The food was barely hot and tasted undercooked.

So every time income here nothing but excuses on poor service! Last time My party showed up at 9PM they were closed chase they short staffed! Today my Son turns 13 we show up and our group it to big! They can't seat us for 20 minute. this is the place of cants and wonts. sad! I hope the food is good cause we have to wait read more

Bad food, terrible service. I placed an order at 8 they said it would be ready at 840 wasn't ready till 920 waited 40 minutes for UNDERCOOKED wings. read more

We have always loved the Hooters in Council Bluffs so this came as a disappointment. Food was ok because it sat in window for 7 minutes. Yes I timed it. The server/bartender was more interested in sitting at a table eating and on her phone than serving us. We had to tell her when we wanted more drinks. Every time we had to get her from the table to get us drinks. I asked her for another drink and she added it to our ticket but then went and sat down. I had to ask another server to get my drink. We own a bar so we understand serving and customer service. I understand if they are busy but they had only 2 tables and3 people at bar. Some training on customer services is needed!!!!! read more

My first time eating at hooters was a good experience I can say I have ate at a Hooters 3 times now. The food is great also you can't beat the drinks. And I love its kid friendly as well. The hooter girls are nice. And the place was not dirty. I really enjoyed the shrimp. I never have room for dessert after I eat. But I will be back to this location again soon. read more

Typical Yelp! HOOTERS IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS! I'm guessing Hooters did not give in to Yelp's extortion practices and suddenly it shows in bright red letters that it was "Reported" closed! Hmmm, was it closed Christmas Day, or closed at 8 AM? In my home town a similar thing happened. A restaurant was getting about 6 glowing reviews a month. Yelp contacts them to pay and they refused. Suddenly about 12 horrible reviews show up within a week. ??? Don't trust Yelp! Now to this Hooters, the service was fantastic, the food was great and served smoking hot! It was, I thought, rather busy for a Monday afternoon despite Yelp's trying to shut them down. I will be back! read more

I decided to order take out from here as it had been years since I've eaten at a Hooters. Upon receiving the order, the food tasted very good and was definitely fresh. As well as, the prices were fairly reasonable. The only minor complaint I had was that they added an extraordinary amount of barbecue sauce to the burger. Which then resulted in a slip n' slide mess haha! I would have preferred for them to just put the sauce in a separate little cup, and let me add it myself. Other than that, everything was perfect! read more

My brother and I decided to go catch the rest of the NHL and NBA Game last night. We didn't order food and sat at the bar. A very engaging staff as we were asked for our drink orders once we sat down. Maddy our bartender was personable all night and checked on us regularly. I will definitely be going back. read more

I returned to Council Bluffs to play in the World Series of Poke Circuit Event and went to Hooters for dinner and once again they did not disappoint. I had the pleasure of Victoria serving me again and she was; as she always is; absolutely amazingly great as well as so very Beautiful! I'd recommend this establishment to anyone and everyone who is looking for good food and extremely great service! Blessings Doc read more

My family drove up to meet me, 1.5 hours for lunch, they were not open. 3/20/22 The manager did not show up to open the place!!!! What????? The employees had been there waiting since 8am for him/her! Sad deal! They didn't even have the common decency to inform the employees. Better call ahead before you go! So bummed, we were so looking forward to wings! Party of 12! read more

So disappointed lately. I love Hooters. The wings are amazing typically. But the last few times I have ordered from here its been sub-par at best. My last order was Tuesday. I ordered 10 breaded hot wings, all flats, extra wet. An order of curly fries, and cheese sauce. The wings were still dry in places (they'd barely been coated let alone "extra" wet). They also tasted...off. I'm used to a buttery hot sauce and hot chicken. The chicken was luke-warm, and in combination with the sauce and breading just made them seem like I'd bought a bag of frozen wings and heated them up in the microwave. It just wasn't what I expected from a restaurant--more like the frozen food aisle. The fries were good. The cheese sauce was bordering on rancid however and had wayyyy too many tomatoes in it. I got more tomato than cheese. Overall I'm starting to get really disappointed with Hooters. I may have to find a new wing favorite and that makes me sad. read more

They took so long to show up on my table, their excuse was like " this area is close guys, I'm so sorry" But I let someone know that guy are here. The restaurant was completely empty, I'm totally des appointment read more

Whoof. Where to start. Certainly one of the strangest dining experiences anyone has ever had. Walked in, waited a few minutes to be seated. Nobody seemed to notice us, so we found the only TV with the Creighton game on and sat at a table. Fifteen minutes later we were waited on, after our waitress made it clear she was purposely ignoring our group of three. We thought about going back up to the entrance and restarting the process as an olive branch offering. Ordered a pitcher of beer, had to wait another 10 minutes for that. We were waiting on our buddy to show up before ordering food, and this really seemed to put off Allie. At 8:45, we placed three orders of wings. And then the marathon really began. Over the next hour, our waitress stopped twice, telling us the food would be out soon. We were sipping on beer and watching hoops, so no big deal. Worse ways to spend an hour. At 9:50, the wings came out. Fresh off the heating lamp. Cold on the inside and tossed on our table without a word. Fifteen minutes later, our waitress came back around and asked how the food was in a way that hinted she already knew the answer to that question. Not great, I said. Why? She asked. Pretty cold and kind of just sad looking, I explained politely. That was pretty much the end of that exchange. We asked for our tabs. Waited another 15 minutes for those, and, at 10:30 pm, she slapped them on our table, we paid and left. Hungry and perplexed. What a awful and bizarre place. That 15 for $15 drew us in....‍. Jays won though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more
