Always good wings and service. The original wings are the best as well as the side salad. Ambiance is that of a wings / bar environment. They now have slots so time to play a few games to win some $$$ for more wings :) read more

Had a less than satisfactory experience today at Hooters Joliet. We frequent this location and unfortunately today our experience wasn't that great. We ordered fried pickles which came out fresh and hot, which was great! Our mains which were the boneless combo came out cold, even though we had to wait on one entree because the kitchen sauced them wrong, so i'm wondering how something could be fresh yet cold. Unfortunately our server Bethany Ann wasn't very attentive to our table as she was some other patrons in the restaurant, so about 10-15 minutes after our alcoholic beverages hit the table I was able to tell her we weren't fans of them and asked to replace them with a mule. She told me because they are specialty drinks she could not take them back, and she didn't talk about replacing them. I have never heard of this rule in my years of dinning so I wondered if it was specific to Hooters, unfortunately I didn't get to ask management in person so if someone could confirm or deny that statement, it would be appreciated! We also ordered them at the same time we did our appetizer and entree and didn't get our drinks until 10-15 minutes after our appetizer hit the table. I was unfortunately disappointed in my experience today read more

I've been going there for a long time now. This establishment has had its ups and downs. The food is consistent. Once in a while, too much sauce is not enough, and drinks are not always the same when they are made. Service is hit or miss. I believe if they had concentrated on this, I would have given a perfect score I will still come there; you will know what you will get is close and convenient before a movie. read more

Hairs coming out of every wing, absolutely disgusting. ordered $60 worth of food and couldn't eat any of it, they definitely need to work on proper kitchen hygiene and safety. read more

Don't order take out. It's like they don't care about food when it's to go. No sauce and cold fries.

Kennedy and Angelina have always been my favorites! Food is good, beers are cold and the girls always make it fun!

I went to this hooters on Saturday the 13th with my girlfriend. Our server was by far one of the best servers I've ever had. Her name was Dayanara. She was funny, polite, knowledgeable, and had a great personality. The food came out so fresh and hot. She was very attentive and definitely will have us coming back requesting her section.The atmosphere was fun and seemto be energetic. Congrats to you, and you got yourself some regulars now. Thank you for the awesome experience! -Michael read more

Amazing server named Haleigh, Crappy and rude manger named pauly. Ordered a Vegas bomb which wasn't on the menu and they made it. Wasn't the best but i took it because the bartender made it for the first time and she tried. Rang up for $11 and when i asked the manger about it he said that's what it rang up for in the system. After he said that's it wasn't in the system so i asked for him to drop the price for it and he was rude and said he couldn't do anything about it. Dudes a manager and could easily take a couple bucks off but no. Should not cost $11 or anywhere near that. Dudes a douch. Great service otherwise. read more

As I was sitting alongside of the bar table I noticed a long haired employee "cook" not wearing a hair net when his hair is past his collar bone/neck???!!!!! Why isn't Management catching on to this nor noticing their employee not wearing a hair net ???!!! read more

Cant warm up food after doing work and reading but charging for everything I ordered lil Customer service is bad not up to par

The service has been very poor lately as I have been coming in every weekend for the last month. Today was the last straw won't be back EVER! A drink was spilled on my son first & then me as well so not one time but twice & I was wearing all white but the kicker was we came in as a party of 9 but was told we couldn't be seated together at one table which was fine but then we got 1 bill for 2 tables with the gratuity included although we were seated separately.... How absurd is that? Spoke with the manager & she was just as rude as the server!!! WILL SPEND MY DOLLARS ELSEWHERE read more

On a work trip and tried to get a decent order of wings and a cold beer in Joliet Illinois. I got an order of bone in "Daytona wings" and they were mediocre at best. The average wing was about the size of my pinky finger. I tried to give it another try and ordered the breaded "original hot" and were bland puny wings some smaller than before.. no heat just butter. All while struggling to get the attention of the staff to get a second beer for well over 10 minutes. As I am eating at the bar I witnessed 2 different fry cooks handle raw chicken with gloves and then continue to cross contaminate a total of 15 different surfaces, utensils, cooler handles, and steam cover handles along with wiping on their aprons before discarding their gloves. Management should check the tapes but I would say only about 70% of the kitchen staff was wearing face coverings. I never add negative reviews especially because every restaurant is struggling right now, but feel like this dining experience was horrible at best... watching the cooks (plural) potentially spread salmonella was the icing on top of crap service and crap wings. On the positive side... at least the beer was cold... read more

Absolutely crazy policy on dining there. The restaurant was empty but hostess told us we had to make a reservation in order to dine. Had to do so online and not in person with the hostess that greeted us. She stated it was a new company policy and that the help were not happy also. We opted to sit at the bar to eat; no reservation required! Dinner was good! All staff had masks and gloves on except the bartender! The bartender was taking care of clients, folding paper napkins from the roll that she had. Again no gloves but touching every sheet of paper off the roll. Of all employees, She should have had gloves to do her work! A couple of the waitresses that did have gloves on were noted "playing" with their long locks and serving food! Not sure this restaurant is attempting to keep all employees and diners safe from Covid! read more

In the late afternoon on January 20, 2024 a friend and I stopped in the Joliet, Illinois Hooters for some chow and a ballgame. The Philly Cheese Steak sandwich and the bacon Cheeseburger were cooked to perfection, satisfying our finicky palates. The Caramel Cheese Cake was DELICIOUS, and melted in my mouth! The service and ambiance were incredible, as our servers, Lolly and Taryn, were attentive, charming and exuberant as they ensured that our dining experience was entertaining and pleasant. Great food, entertaining sporting events on the monitors and plenty of laughs are found at this restaurant. read more

Yes oh yes they did! A couple of years back, this place SUCKED! Ok, to go from absolute shit to outstanding takes alot if effort from the staff. My nephew and his friend are 13. They were begging me to go to Hooters. I was thinking "This location again". Tried it anyways because it was close and they were hungry. I've got to tell you, everything was perfect. They have this new hot sauce, scorpion pepper. They will warn you that if you order them, and, you don't like them, you can't send them back. Ok, fair enough. They were phenomenal. Everything was great! read more

Stopped by for some drinks and dinner with my mom. It's been a while since I've been here. Leah was our bartender and she was amazing. She regularly checked on us and she was so kind. Food was pretty good too! I'll be asking for Leah every time I visit from here on out. read more

I highly recommend Hooters in Joliet. My family and I arrived 10 minutes prior to closing and the manager (Tim) there was very welcoming. The food was made fresh and exceeded our expectations. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back to this location! :) read more

Came on a Tuesday night with seven other friends. The place was packed when we got in and the host told us she could not seat us together in one table and offered to give us the only two tables by the bar that was available. We even opted to be seated outdoors, but when we hot there, we decided to ho back indoors because of the humidity, that when a high table for six became available. The host said they can add more stools to fit us all. I've been dining at hooters a lot, including the one in Aurora and in Downers Grovel, but I say, hands down, the girls here are very courteous and friendly and treat you like they've known you a long time. I thought hooters only had two kinds of wings: Mild and Spicy, until my friend ordered five kinds of wings, and all of them were delicious! I wonder if it's only available in this location. We had pitchers of refreshing Mango Cart beer.. One disappointment though. They had no Oysters. DId they take this out of the menu? They offered clams, and out of curiosity, we ordered it., It was overcooked, chewy tough, and overpriced. Makes me think of the unlimited clams at the nearby Japanese buffet. Nevertheless, I'll pick this location among the three near me because of the professionalism of the staff. read more

Saddest nachos I have ever witnessed in my entire life. Is this a joke? Who would ever think sending nachos out of the kitchen this way would be acceptable. Never again. Buffalo chicken sandwich, really good with good quality chicken. Boneless Wings were okay. Curly Fries were absolutely awful. And to top it off... I was told someone would contact me and they never did. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. REVIEW JUST DROPPED TO A 1, 0 ISN'T AN OPTION. read more

I went to Hooters in Joliet today 9-2-22, orders 10pc wings plain and 10pc wings hot, two ranch dressings. (The bill was $33.00) From my home to Hooters is 7 miles each way. Got home bit into a piece of the bone in plain chicken and it was RAW. Completely RED on the inside and even the bone was a bright/pink/red. You could clearly see the chicken wasn't cooked. I bit out of the bone in hot chicken and it was also RAW, so they must have been from the same batch. I started to put them in my oven and finish up cooking the wings, but after paying $33.00 at Hooters I shouldn't have to do that. My food should be cooked. I called Hooters, asked that they replace my, order and told them I was on the way. A young lady answered and advised she would let the manager know. I arrived at Hooters and the Manager Paul came to the counter and examined the chicken and the first thing he said, oh it's the Marrow. I replied, Sir I cook and eat chicken often and your chicken is RAW. He then picked up the half eaten piece of bone in plain chicken, then he picked up the half eaten hot chicken wing. He says that's odd, all of our chicken is cooked on a timer. (As if that was impossible) My response to him, then something must be wrong with your timer because you can clearly see I have been given RAW Chicken. He nicely says, I will go back and get you some new chicken. He brought up both orders of chicken and showed them to me and they actually looked a 100 times better than the first order. The manager put them in a bag, and I say sir you should have also compensated me with at least an additional 10pc, especially since I was given RAW chicken and went home and had to return it. The Manager said NO, would you like some extra WET Naps. 'WOW"! I won't be returning to this HOOTER'S. I spent a lot of MONEY, TIME and GAS on 20pc WINGS. (Total 28 miles) I'm still trying to figure out WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO PROPER CUSTOMER SERVICE. I plan on calling the Corporate Office of Hooters if there is one and request they refund my money to compensate for the non-customer service skills of a Manager "Paul" who they have put in charge. Even McDonald's have better management. Paul should be ashamed of how he handled this and I hope the next time he eats Hooters at his store, he bites into a piece of RAW chicken that's cooked on a timer. read more

After being away internationally for almost a month and being subjected to so much Asian food, I had to come here for some good ol' fashioned wings. We always go with the tried and true which is the buffalo shrimp and medium spice original wings. We asked for extra sauce on the side and the server recommended we try the double dipped to see if we liked that. It was a game changer and I might be ordering my wings that way going forward! You can always count on some good wings here! read more

Hooters is by far my favorite place to get wing but this location is very inconsistent. There are times that we come and the food is super hot, sometimes the food comes out really quickly, and other times service is very slow and the food just okay. We still come here often because, again, I love the wings here. The staff is always friendly, even on the slow service off days, and the managers are always attentive and helpful. read more

Put a online order today right before 7:00pm email said it would be ready by 7:30. I got there at 7:30 and 20 minutes later my food was still not ready. I told them they to cancel my order because I been waiting to long.The manager told me that they cook the orders as they come in and said mine came in at 7:30 I said no my order was to be ready by 7:30 and I got the email to back it up.It took her another 10 minutes to cancel my order. NO apologies from anyone. When I asked who I can talk to this about she told me to call corporate.Not giving me their number and no where to be found there or online. read more

Worst service I've ever had at any Hooters ever. We drove an hour and were going to a show at the Rialto after dinner. Could've gone anywhere, but we go to Hooters whenever we can. Got there a few minutes before 5:00, perfect time. We were seated right away. A waitress offered to get us drinks but told us she was not going to be our waitress and it was shift change so it would be a few minutes for our server to get to us. Ok, we're good sports, in a good mood cuz we're at Hooters and just ordered a pitcher of sangria. 20 minutes goes by, no waitress, no order being put in........ Our confused and starting to get irritated looks caught the attention of a person that looked like a manager maybe. She asked us if everything was ok and we told her no, because we hadn't even gotten to order yet. She apologized and said our waitress was doing paper work. At least she took our order, but seriously, how is the waitress doing paperwork our problem??? We're supposed to wait til she's done? Another 10 minutes goes by and our waitress finally stopped by to say Hello but wasn't particularly friendly. I think she must have overheard us talking about the dwindlng tip. The food took a little longer to get than we expected, but was definitely worth the wait and the only reason this review has three stars. The waitress stopped by one more time when we were done eating and asked if we wanted anything else to drink. We said no and she went away and never came back with our check. Husband went to the restroom, he came back I went to the restroom. I saw our waitress standing around chatting at the hostess station on my way back to the table. We waited another 5 minutes or so and I got the attention of one of the waitresses actually working that we wanted our check. Needless to say we're striking Joliet Hooters off our list. read more

The Wingsday special is still available and great option. The orders are usually ready on time. The staff is friendly.

Ordered take out from this hooters. Terrible experience. As opening the bag, one of the containers was put in the bag onto its side, resulting in all of the sauce ending up in the bottom of the bag. They forgot they blue cheese we had to pay extra for and while eating my side salad, a paper clip was almost swallowed as pictured. Very disappointed!!!! read more

After not going to this place for several months because of the atmosphere and lousy service I decided to give this place another chance. Things started out good, but went downhill fast. My waitress was very timely in taking my order. But it was another girl who brought me my food. When I ordered another beer, it was still another girl who brought it to me. The place had just opened do it wasn't that busy. Then towards the end of my visit, the locals started showing up with all their little brats in tow. Finally I asked for my check. When it finally arrived by my original waitress, since it came to $32 and change paid with two twenties. Then I waited. And waited and waited for my change. Finally I got my waitresses attention and asked for my change. She obviously felt that she was going to get to keep the change as a tip. And frankly, if she had brought my change back, I probably would have told her to keep the change because the place was starting to get a little busy. I have been to several Hooters all over the country. I have always had decent food and great service. But not at this one. This used to be a great place until a few years ago. And there are still a few girls there who are really sweet and really do a good job. But they are getting fewer and fewer. And I never get them as as my waitress. It seems like this location is another example of how Joliet screws up everything it touches. I will be moving out of Joliet in a month or so. So this will be my LAST visit to this Hooters. read more

I went in tonight with a group of friends and my friend had a bug in his drink and then got blue cheese spilled all over him and then had a hair in his wings. He was charged for the wings and drink still after being told they would take it off but they took off his wings that had a hair in it but charged him to remake it. Very disappointed. read more

Glad this location is open and back to (almost) normal operating procedures. Food was fresh, beer was ice cold, service was great. The two male managers were friendly in checking in on all their guests and keeping an eye on everything. Will be back. read more

Cold fries and shitty service. Waitress visited table 3 times in over an hour. Only one other table in here. Had to take fries to bartender because waitress was MIA. Then back to same bartender for cheese (who responded to my request for hot fries by telling he cook (who was cleaning fryers) to "drop them back in the fryer". Then with "Yup" when asking for more cheese. Sorry to inconvenience you. Waitress finally came back to table at 11:06 and asked if we wanted anything else. We said we were thinking about fried pickles. She responds "oh, the kitchen is closed". Then I said "we'll have another beer". Her reply..."let me check with the bartender". Comes back. "No. We're closed. Sorry." WTF in Gods name did she ask if we wanted more for? This is likely our last visit here. We used to come here often and as service got worse and portion sizes got smaller, we went elsewhere. This place truly sucks now. read more

Hooters - Cheers - Chicken Wings Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

I went to Hooters tonight expecting a delightful dinner, but what I received was some Wing Dings that I could have bought from Walmart for 7.00 and prepared them myself. I asked the waitress what happened to the wings, she said that they changed them a month ago. Wow!!!!!!!!! They changed the wings to Wing Dings/ party wings?!?!? Total disappointment. But you still charged 17.00. I will no longer support this company. I can tell that this business is going under when the thing that you are famous for, turns into a lower quality item. Oh yeah and the cheap Sam's club thank you bags. Just sell the business to the highest bidder, so the quality go back to being better. read more

So, I went to @hooters and Ordered 20 wings double dipped and 20 buffalo Shrimp the same way. This is the greasy nasty grit from the bottom of the fryer that was in my food, which has never been on the food when I've dined in. So I called and spoke with the manager and explained the fudge up with my food, I also explained to her that I did take a video as proof to show her. She said ok, so I was in the area the following day and stopped by and talk to the male manager. I showed him the video he's also said yeah, that's not suppose to look like that. He stated that he would put my name on the list so that I can get the 20 wings replaced. So ai show up today and that manager (Spencer) doesn't work there anymore and he didn't put my name in there system. So, the manager (Pauly) refused to honor the credit because Spencer doesn't work there anymore, even after I showed him the video. I ask for the number to cooperate and he gives it to me, and states " maybe they can help you". read more
