Went with 3 friends and to my observation the food, "talent" and service was mediocre at best. The wings, which are by default, breaded, are insufficiently hot in my opinion. We had to get the "TMI" level before they were worth eating. Burger was dry and came with inexplicable and bland side of baked beans. Onion rings are clearly prefrozen. "Talent": ... and I only comment on this because Hooters makes bank on having hot waitresses clad in tacky shiny shorts and tank-tops, was nothing special. Service also not great - our waitress was the first in 2 weeks to balk at splitting the check equally 4 ways and though she eventually did it was after much struggle and turned out to be far from equal. She claimed "the computer won't let me" - am I the only one who doesn't accept the excuse that the computer is in charge? Also, the food took too long to get to the table and the beer selection was poor. Not sure why anyone would like this place unless they have a fetish for photos of 80's chicks or nylon. read more

Best Buffalo Shrimp!!! I Love their homemade ranch too, I always have to get extra! They have a great deal on Wednesdays, $5.99 10 boneless wings with fries. The boneless wings are yummy, but sometimes a little dry but the ranch makes it all better. The service there isn't the greatest either. I was picking up takeout once and standing at the counter and the girl looked at me and totally ignored me and kept talking to her coworker. Maybe because I'm not a guy... The place itself is kinda grimmy but it is Hooters... 4 star food, 2 star staff read more

Came here after a long day shopping at the nearby Ikea for our new house. Service was quick and friendly, but the servers weren't... how do you say... as voluptuous as I remember them from the days of Hooters' past. But hey, it's 2016. Beer was served cold, selection was decent. We only ordered the wings so can't comment on the rest of the food. Wings had way too much grease-soaked breading and the sauce was very scant. Not a place I regret going, but not a place I would go back again. Used to always like visiting Hooters to throw back a few cold ones and enjoy the decor, can't say I feel the same way anymore. read more

There are real reasons that I am not a fan of this place. It's sad because I want to like it, but I just can't. A few years ago, I came in for dinner with my husband a few times. Every time my food was cold before it hit the table. I finally got him to stop going. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago when my newly pregnant neighbor/friend wanted fried pickles. I suggested Smashburger, but she had her heart set on this place. So, we went. I like her a lot and thought things may have improved. We waited about a half hour to be seated. Waiting here is weird. There's really no where good to stand. I felt like we were staring at people eat no matter which way we looked. Additionally, it's cramped and waitresses kept bumping into us. Once seated, we chose a wide variety of items. Apps, entrees, drinks, etc. The wings were good. Thus the two stars. I ordered Buffalo Shrimp as my entree and guess what? They were cold when placed in front of me! I sent them back and by the time the replacements arrived, everyone else was done eating. At least they were hot. I had a few since shrimp do not reheat well. It was a major disappointment. Here's my other problem. When the check came, my mouth fell open to the floor. They seriously nickel and dime you to death!!! The waitress implied that things like ranch or blue cheese dressing were included. Like it was choose one or the other to go with your meal. Then, she would say things like "do you want two of those?". Never giving the impression that this was a way to pad the bill. Needless to say the check was unbelievable and I wasn't thrilled with the whole cold food thing. I can't imagine I will get talked into going back again anytime soon. read more

Hooters is, and has always been, quite good food. You don't go there for the hooters, you go there for the wings. The scantily dressed women may be a side-plus, but the wings are seriously good. That aside, be warned: do not get boneless wings here, as it's both a rip off and a ridiculously small amount of meat. I do like how spicy the sauces can be, and overall food quality is consistently good for what it is. BWW makes spicier wings, but I think hooters makes em with better sauces. No matter what crap people say, I would definitely suggest to try it once. read more

First of all I see some bad reviews and can't understand why. People complain about the servers like this was a 5 star restaurant. Its a sport bar. People come here to have a cold beer and enjoy some really good food and watch a game and chat . the wife and myself had some raw ousters, crab legs, onion rings and a nice cold beer. Everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. Our server came by several times and asked how everything was and if we needed anything. We have been to 2 different locations and both were great. Our total bill without tip was $48..great food at a great price.... read more

I had to go to Hooters in Schaumburg for an event set up by friends. I like dives but this isn't one, its a manufactured divey environment and seems ridiculous. Their marketing trys to get in front of their image with the tag line "delightfully tacky, yet unrefined", seemingly accurate. I anticipated hugely greasy fried food that was poorly made like most chains. But I was hopeful because I love wings. I once took a pilgrimage to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo and I like their original style of wings that are not breaded. I have not had a breaded wing that I thought wasn't a greasy sponge but I know this place is famous for breaded wings so I gave it a shot. Well I was wrong and I was right. It is a lame chain but they claim the chicken is never frozen. Hmmm. And you can get the wings with or without the breading. Truth be told the wings look better and more substantial with the breading. Our group ordered them both ways and the breaded ones looked better visually and held more sauce (and oil) but I still prefer the unbreaded original style. Wing fans, Hooters wings are not hot. I listened to the Yelpers who said the "Hot" version were not hot so I ordered the next level hotter which was called the "3 Mile Island" which were also not hot. All in all the wings are light on sauce and heat and are just ok. Our one friend who ordered a chicken sandwich thought it was very unmemorable. The bleu cheese dressing was weak although people liked the Ranch dressing. Our server was very nice and the place was friendly but it is cartoonish, silly and not a serious food contender in almost any way. read more

Great Spicy Titos Bloody Mary! Super cold beer! Fantastic service from ?Tyla? She was fun and funny and didn't mind that my brother spilled his drink all over the table. Didn't eat this time, but my experience at other Hooters restaurants had been that they have great hot wings. read more

I was out in the area and in the mood for something spicy. I had great memories of this place and decided it was time for a visit. It was a Sunday afternoon, and while all the tables were full, the bar was wide open. I sat down and waited.....and waited.....and waited. The bartender was far too worried about checking her phone and looking at the split ends of her long hair. Look, I know I'm a girl and not exactly Hooters desired clientele... aka a girl with boobs... but I too get hungry. Just as I was about to put my coat on to leave, the bartender comes over and asks for my order rudely. At this point I should have walked out, but like I said, I was hungry. I ordered what I used to order in the past: a hot buffalo chicken sandwich with blue cheese and a side of curly fries. 45 minutes later the food came and it was a sad story. The sauce was barely noticeable on the sandwich, I was given ranch, and the fries were cold. I tried to get the bartenders attention to fix it, but she was too concerned with flirting with the guys at the carryout section of the bar. Disappointing to see how far the quality of the entire establishment has gone down - food & staff wise. read more

This place was just ok. The seating arrangement was kind of uncomfortable. All of the tables are on the right side of the restaurant and the TV's and the bar are on the left side. Me and my friend would have to turn our heads. The wings that we had were kind of dry but maybe they needed more sauce on them. read more

I want to start by saying I totally understand the restaurant industry as I myself is in it... I get EVERYONE is so short staffed..but that's everywhere. No where was it posted they were closing at 8pm on a Saturday evening..actually on the door is states they closed at 10pm even as their temporary hours...these girls just seemed so unorganized... I will definitely be sticking with the Downers Grove location.... Response to Leah, "owner", unfortunately i will not be returning to your facility... I did stupidly try again...this time was for LUNCH, couldn't be sat the host told us "you can order take out at the bar" because we did not have a reservation... come on guys it's HOOTERS!!!! not a fine dining restaurant... any other hooters in the area doesn't require reservations anymore... If you are the owner, there needs to be a talk about respect because your employees do not have any for whomever walks through your doors. Have a nice evening. read more

Yums! It's sticky, tacky and not the most comfortable unless you enjoy chilling on bar stools but YumMmmMmMm their wings are great. Stay away from the burgers unless you're REALLY anti wings. I had the mushroom swiss burger here once. It was very bland, it almost could have passed for :gasp: HEALTHY! (based on taste).was nice and filling though. Service is great (usually) they come check on you often enough. Cheapish beer grab a pitcher. And now...WINGS! Grab the mild wings if you like a greasy buttery taste. They're REALLY mild. The BBQ ones are the best. Great flavor and it all falls off the bone. Eating these wings is like holding sticks of butter in your hands though so beware. They have stocked rolls of paper towels to assist with this dilemma however which is genius. read more

Ha! I don't care if you don't believe me when I say I actually crave the wings once in a while and will come here with my wife and order raw oysters and wings. For all you B-dub fans... at least Hooters wings have some size to them just like... erm, okay. So yeah, great view. Horrible, unflattering shorts those poor girls have to wear but you can't get everything you want, right? Don't bother ordering their 911 (hottest available) sauce because it is not much hotter than 3 Mile Island and 10 times saltier. Yeck. Come to think of it, all their food is salty so that you order more beer to wash it down with. I still like to stuff my face every once in a while with hot, buttery, fresh fried wings and wash it down with beer while grunting and admiring the talent. This place is closest to home so it gets my review. read more

This is my favorite breastaurant. You know it is family friendly because I walked in with my baby in a car seat and they had a sling to place him on. I love coming here with my son when his momma has to work. I'm giving it 4 stars because they don't take Discover. Seriously I like my Discover points so I can feel less guilty buying stuff on Amazon. read more

Okay, the weird thing is that I have fond college memories of this location. Get your mind out of the gutter....no I didn't work there. My friends and I would get together here during breaks and stuff just to find a central location to have lunch. I think the guys thought it was funny that all the girls in the group were irritated about having to come here for lunch and they said they loved their wings. That being said, I don't really think their wings are all that. You want wings I say check out Buffalo Joe's, but then again you don't have wait staff serving you with their butt cheeks hanging out so it's a toss up on the food or the ambiance. My most recent visit was actually on a busy night, but my cousin, his wife, and their kid were seated at the bar and that was by far the quickest option. The waitress tending to us was very attentive, but it also probably helps to have a super cute nephew to keep her occupied. I ordered a fish sandwich which was just alright and my husband said his meal was ok. Oddly enough I enjoyed the fried pickles which I thought sounded disgusting, but with their dipping sauce actually was pretty good. So guys, mostly the ambiance. I'm sure the fried pickles or their wings only holds the small truth as to why one would call this a favorite. read more

Considering chicken wings are up on my Top 10 List of favorite foods and that I've never been, my buddy convinced me to try out Hooter's wings because that's what they're "known for". We placed an order for pick up for a Friday night because we figured it would be a madhouse inside. The ladies were very nice and after getting over the initial shock of seeing a very pregnant Hooter Girl pass right in front of me upon walking right through the door, I couldn't help appreciate the retro outfits they still wear. I guess I had very high expectations of their wings, so I'm sorry to say I was kinda disappointed. I'm used to sloppy, wet wings drenched in barbecue sauce that I can cut with my Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing. The Buffalo Shrimp was pretty good, but I have to say my favorite thing from their menu were the Tater Tots. Apart from the very friendly and accommodating staff and the Tater Tots, I'd have to take a pass on the wings and head over to Buffalo Joe's or Buffalo Wild Wings instead. read more

Worst service ever. Third visit to this location. Every time the wings are old and dry. Manager was rude and the hooter girl an airhead that got confused about why I would want a cup with my bottle of root beer. Not coming back. I like a little sauce with my wings. read more

Hooters - Worst wings ever! - Sports Bars Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

I like this location. Nice staff and quick service and of course some of the best wings around.

This place is so bad I would have gave 0 stars. I'm 1 person coming to eat and they said they can't seat me without a reservation looking behind the hostess there are 30 tables open what the hell read more

I used to come here for car meets circa 2000-2006 with a car forum I was part of. In all that time, I NEVER tried the wings, so my +1 and I went today so we could indulge. We got a combo of 10 "911" and 10 "mild." There was more sauciness with the "911"; the "mild" were dryer and not what I was expecting. (Then again, my only point-of-reference is BDubbs.) The beer straight from our pitcher was lukewarm, which was disappointing on such a hot day. Fries were mediocre and flavorless. I'll add on an extra star for our waitress, who was very attentive but not overbearing. read more

I have been on a wings kick lately so I headed over here for some. The wings were perfectly cooked with a nice amount of crunch to them and they also had the perfect amount of sauce. (I hate it when they are drowned in sauce - the wings get soggy.) I hat the hot sauce for the wings and it packed a pleasant kick - I like them spicy, maybe I'll try the next notch up next time I go... The service was good, not great - but I was there on a busy day so I will cut some slack there. She was working hard and still had a great attitude. read more

Update- we went back after speaking with the manager. Much better second time around. Thank you for fixing the situation. We will be back again. I will be the first one to admit it... I love hooters. It was one of my favorite places to go to for wings. Unfortunately, my opinion vastly changed after my last visit there. Our waitress was great, she was very friendly and on top of things. The food however, completely disappointed me. Our wings took a very, very long time to come out. When they did, I was surprised at the small size of them. They were also lukewarm at best. I wondered if they had been sitting out for some time before being brought out. All of the other guests at our table said the same thing. Our fries we brought out after our wings, and were warm, which was some good news for the dinner. I do seriously love their blue cheese as well. I just felt disappointed at the end of the meal. I'm not the type to send food back because I feel like its wasteful, so I had 4 of my 10 wings and brought the rest home. Maybe they'll be better reheated? I'm unsure of whether ill go back to this particular location. Sorry Schaumburg hooter read more

This was my first trip to hooters. Not going to lie, I wasn't 100% comfortable walking past the men staring at the waitresses nor was I comfortable being served my dinner by someone wearing only their underwear. As soon as we sat down the waitress informed us that they were out of oysters. First of all I didn't even know they served oysters. After seeing "wings and oysters" on the front of the menu I thought them running out of oysters is like McDonalds running out of fries. As for the food the loaded fries were blah and was begging for more salt. I got to try 2 flavors of the wings, medium and hot chipotle bbq. The hot chipotle bbq was really good with the nice kick to it. Would I bring my mother here after shopping at woodfield? No. Most likely I'd only come to get wings to go. read more

okay, let me start this review with "It's hooters". I grew up going to this place for the crappy food but gorgeous views..... If you know what I mean. Lets just say that I never let Hooters talking about the food. I was surprised when a friend asked me to meet him there for lunch (thanks Geoff) last week. I said "Really hooters" I thought isn't it the place for dirty old men? But, I haven't been there in a long time and felt why not. Now to the review. I was pleasantly surprised with the wings this time. I really enjoyed them. Not sure if I went on a good day or all the stars aligned for me but I am glad I went. I plan to going back to see if it was a fluke. read more

I should have trusted the stars. Bad service and equally bad food. Oysters were not fresh. Wings were cold. Kids meals were ok but server didn't bring beverages until the end. Wtf? Just don't even. Seriously. read more

I was just at this location 2 weeks ago and again the food was really quite good. Cute servers scanty clad in sexy outfits seem to make this a man's place, so I was rather stunned by all the (attractive) female patrons. I absolutely love the chicken wings they're incredibly addictive. I like Hooters and not just because of the girls. A nice place with a good view ;^) and good food at a reasonable price. Hooters... I shall be back! Pros: Chicken Wings, Cute Servers, Lots of Parking, Near Woodfield Mall Cons: none Overall Rating: 4 of 5 Recommendation: Recommended read more

I've been to this location a few times, always at lunch with my colleagues, and the service is consistently good. They're also great about providing separate checks which makes things easier too. Usually I get the boneless wings because I love the honey thai chili pepper sauce, but I wasn't in the mood during my last visit so I tried the fish tacos instead. Wow, they were delicious! Keep in mind this is coming from someone who isn't too fond of fish other than shrimp. I'm not sure what even possessed me to order them, and I started to worry after I did so, but I didn't regret it at all once I took my first bite and will probably get them again the next time I'm back. The description from their menu: Marinated, grilled mahi, served in a flour tortilla. Covered with shredded cabbage, cheddar cheese and Hooters secret sauce. Served with pico de gallo and cole slaw. That secret sauce really makes it and they don't skimp at all on the fish either. read more

I really hate to give Hooters anything less then 5 stars for their wings, but my experience yesterday with take out was not good. So i ordered take out of 40 wings. I had the TMI which were pretty good, my kids had the plain and the mild. They were complaiming that they tasted funny, i thought hogwash, but then i tried one and they were right. It was very disaapointing, that we loss our appetite. We didnt get sick from them but they were seriously off. The mild wings barely had anything on them and what was on the bottom of the container didnt even look like sauce. More like greasy sauce. I also noticed that some of the wings even had little strands of feathers on them.. i mean who cleans them..? Maybe they need to change their frying oil.. Even the ranch they gave us didnt taste right. Did they switch supplier? I hate wasting money for food... read more

It's good, basically Alex reviewed it well, but I personally like the one in Downers Grove better for everything overall. Basically if you could break down everything about this place and give each of the things a rating, the one in Downers Grove would beat it by 1/2 or 1 star on almost all counts. read more

compared to otehr Hooters this place is the BOMB! Good service, and good atmosphere. The food in my opinion is better here than anywhere else is the US but thats just my op. The wings are good. Not the greatest but good read more

Love this place and they are great with my son!!! They did make a mistake and list our order but went above and beyond to make it right. This location is far better than the city. read more

Worst service! Recently stoped by and a family member of mine sliped on some water/ice that was spilled on the floor. Waitress saw and didnt say anything, not even to see if she was okay. I talked to the manager because after seeing that someone fell the water was still not cleaned up. All the manager (Kevin) said was oh ok thank you. He didnt even bother looking up at me when i talked to him. I emailed corporate and didnt get a reply back either. Needless to say i will never go back. read more

I ordered medium boneless wings to go.... not grease sauce to go.....thanks a lot.... read more

Hooters - I wish I could post the video of this stuff. It's a mountain of grease with an under layer of a white unknown substance. - Sports Bars Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

See all

Location is good. Nice stop if you're craving wings and enjoy noisy restaurants. The table set up is strange.

Haven't been here in years, since my ex Chickie used to work here. Ran out to Woodfield Mall for some shopping and shot over to Hooters for a bite to eat. Food is still the same, decent, average at best. Went with the buffalo shrimp to start out, and my meal of choice was a chicken sandwich with curly fries! Again, you don't go for the food.....you for the girls. Now the girls here have since changed....I used to know them all, but now.....no clue on alot of them! But sitting at the table brought back fun memories when I would walk in and everyone would know my name!! Service was good though, cute waitress pretty attentive to me......but some working um, shouldn't wear tight orange shorts...maybe sweat pants! Anyway, Hooters is Hooters......do try! do try! read more

Never been to a hooters before so I was excited to try it! Myself and a whole group of coworkers ordered our food ahead of time, so we could eat promptly to return to work. Our plan was to order it before we got there, then eat it and head back to work. Myself and another coworker ordered our food together but 2 separate orders. When we arrived, they had gotten the sauce wrong on my coworkers wings so my coworker restated what kind of sauce she wanted. The girl who was at the cashier said it was my coworkers fault and tried blaming her as if it was her fault they messed up the order, instead of just apologizing and correcting it. After fixing that, they rang up the food wrong and charged it to the wrong credit card so had to call a manager over to fix it. That took more time. After the 2 mess ups, our food was ready and they forgot my drink...so I had to re ask for that. It was fine, maybe they were just having a bad day, I understand mistakes happen. So at this point me and my coworker were just annoyed and wanted to eat. I get it mess ups happen, but we were happy we could go join our other coworkers and eat. When we walked into the dining area, we noticed our 5 coworkers sitting together eating (they had called in their food ahead of time as well) and there wasn't any room at their table. So my coworker and I just picked a random table that we could hurry up and eat our food at since our break was almost over and we had gone thru enough trouble to eat. As soon as we sat down, the manager Kevin came over to tell us we weren't allowed to eat there because we ordered take out. I said "our coworkers are already here and ordered take out as well" and Kevin goes "I asked them to leave as well" even though I was looking directly at them across from us. So after messing up our order, forgetting my drink, and charging the wrong credit card, now we weren't allowed to eat there? My coworker tried telling Kevin this had already been a horrible experience and we just wanted to eat so we can get back to work. At which time Kevin responded he was following"policy". I've worked in the food service Industry for years and would NEVER tell someone they couldn't eat take out at the restaurant. If anything they should be happy because that was an opportunity where we could have ordered more food, drinks, dessert, and spend more money. But clearly they don't see it that way. You just don't treat paying customers that way. There was no apology, there was no "thank you", we were treated as if we were a burden. I have NEVER heard of a restaurant forcing people to leave because they called in their order ahead of time. They wanted to turn over the table fast to fit in more customers instead of taking care of the customers they already had. I'm sorry, but the whole experience was just terrible customer service all around. I was so excited to try Hooters, and it's terrible that I had this first impression and we were treated so horribly by Kevin. I made sure to tell my coworkers what happened so we will be choosing a new place to go for lunch, there are plenty of other restaurants in the area happy to serve us. read more

Hi am here again today (third time for beer) with a friend who is going to India probably for ever. My waitress today is Christina. She is sweet and very cute. Actually I am a veg and we ordered something which had meat (probably a misunderstanding) but she was accommodating and changed the dish without extra charge... I really appreciate the understanding and customer service. read more

We Went to Hooters on a snowy day just to get out and watch the Blackhawks game. The place was pretty much empty which was nice. Our waitress Stephanie was quick, fast and knowledgeable about what beers they had to offer and what was on special. Stephanie had my drinks refilled before I could even ask. The food was a whole different story. The chicken nachos I ordered were gross. The chips were oily, thin and the beans were like canned beans - gross. My friends chicken Caesar salad barely had any chicken in it and was small. The wings he ordered were very oily and the oil literally hardened up on the plate making the chicken wings not very appealing. Wouldn't return to this Hooters I'll stick to Downers Grove or Melrose Park locations. Only giving this place 2 stars because Stephanie was awesome. read more

I wanted to update my review after giving this location another shot. We went in and explained our displeasure with our last visit. The GM here also messaged me on Yelp, I replied, but haven't heard back. As promised, I updated my review since my last visit was excellent. The wings are the main focus here, as they are known for their wings. This time, the wings were cooked perfectly, as were the curly fries, and steamed shrimp. The service was also top notch, maybe they knew it was me, but keep up the great work! We will be back over and over as long as the food is cooked correctly and service stays top notch! I'm glad I gave it another shot, please don't let me down! read more

This place is great. All the girls are beautiful and more importantly nice and fun. The kitchen and the food are great. The managers always have the best games on already or will change the tv to whatever game I want to watch. All the managers are great but Kevin really stands out. As a former waiter, I know the industry very well and notice how much he helps out when they get busy. Bussing tables, taking dish pans back to the kitchen, and so on. If you want to feel like a king, I recommend this place. read more
