Right here in Tampa FL Hooters is a place for some good breaded wings. The breaded wings with 911 sauce are my favorite. Add some fries and celery with blue cheese and a beer and I'm in heaven. The service is always top notch and the girls are service with a smile. The ambiance is casual with an orange theme. I've never had a bad meal here whether I eat it there or get it to go. And now they even have sauce for sale. Come gotcha some. read more

The servers were friendly and attentive, restaurant was lively, but the food was sub par. I would not order the chicken Philly unless you order it without the bun. The meat was ok but the bun crumbed as you touched it and all the contents fell on the plate. The bun was dry and seemed stale. read more

The fried Buffalo chicken sandwich has replaced the wings as the star of show. The sandwich was tender, meaty and flavorful while the wings were the exact opposite. Charging extra for dressing was tasteless too. We spent only a few minutes inside waiting for take out, but I got the sense the environment was warm and welcoming. The staff was super sweet and patrons chill. read more

The food was decent enough. Good not great. Place was clean. Waitress (Kiana?) looked like Candace Owens so I give her a 11/10. read more

Hooters - Original Hooters Style Wings Hot sauce - American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

At Hooters, I tried their wings for the first time, drawn in by the hype. I wasn't too interested in being wined and dined by the girls, so I expected more of a casual meal. The Hooters wings are like fried chicken in wing form, with a breading that reminded me of Applebee's. They lack the freshness of places like Buffalo Wild Wings or Wingstop, but they're still decent. The homemade ranch was a nice touch, and the seasonings were alright. I tried the second hottest sauce and the garlic parmesan, both were okay. Overall, it was an average experience with good service by their manager consistently checking in on us, but if you're craving top-notch wings from a chain, Buffalo Wild Wings/Wingstop might be a better bet. read more

Sadly the new guys can't keep up with the old cooks, I miss Jordan, he's the best! Sadly these wings were made 3x first one was not breaded, these are the second ones, burnt to Crisp, let's hope 3rd ones are better!! Jordan needs to teach these guys, miss Jordan! read more

Hooters - Daytona and Hot Thai Chili Burnt to taste :( - American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Once again I'm disappointed in Hooters chicken wings. When you look at the picture on the menu it's covered in sauce. But they never come out that way especially if you order them to go. I even asked the waitress to have them cooked extra long and extra wet with sauce and I get home and neither of those were done. I had to use my own chicken wing sauce. Hooters is getting cheap with the sauce and then they wonder why they're closing Hooters all over the country. That's the last time I'm going there I've been disappointed too many times. read more

You get what you expect from your local Hooters! Sweet people and great bar food to watch the games. Watched the Bucs game and enjoyed 10 naked hot wings that it the spot I wanted them to. My hunger feelings were relieved immediately after the first bite. Very enjoyable experience for me at the time. Highly recommend coming out to have has much pleasure as I did! read more

This Hooters on Gandy Blvd used to be good when John was the manager. The last few months it has really gone downhill. We went on Monday March 31st, 2025; my cheeseburger was so well done I could've used it as a sponge, I ordered medium. We also ordered Daytona style wings. They were the tiniest wings I've ever seen. Maybe the size of my pinkie. The manager noticed we were staring at the wings in disbelief and offered to throw a couple more wings are way. We declined. He stated that's the only size wings available that aren't frozen...not sure why when other places have no problem getting med size fresh wings. Especially when they're almost $17.00 for ten wings. And to top off, one of the cooks keep randomly screaming and yelling out of the blue, not sure if he was on high something or has some kind of issue. The manager was just standing there the whole time...doing nothing about it. Today I heard Hooters was filling for bankruptcy...not surprised. read more

As soon as we sat down, this girl approached us and play some napkins down and said our server will be right over, then she proceeds to come back, and say never mind I guess she was cut, I'll be your server, and that was the moment I should have known that everything was going to go downhill from there. We proceed to order, eight piece wing breaded with medium sauce, then an eight piece, wings, Daytona style. A few moments later, she brings out to our table two 8 piece wings that are both breaded and one I believe has buffalo sauce, and the other one has some other kind of sauce on it. We call back our server because we believe that they gave us somebody else's order by mistake, because Daytona style wings are not breaded they're fried naked and then sauced and grilled and they take a little bit longer so it was odd that both wings came out to our table at the same time to begin with, our server immediately gets defensive, and says that you did not tell me that you wanted them naked, I made Them how you told me! You should have told me When you ordered it next time, and that that was not how they came, and that they came breaded and naked. Not thinking she was understanding what I was saying and honestly I didn't wanna argue with her. I said OK whatever waited a few moments and I went up the bar to ask somebody else who I believe was the manager came over and agreed with us that these were not Daytona style wings, apologize and took them back immediately and remade them for us the correct way after this our server basically ignored us and had a pissed off look on her face for the rest of the time she would not refill any of my drinks, or take any dirty dishes off of our table the person who fixed order, had to refill my drink. Took another 15 minutes or so to my us a new order since the Daytona wings take longer so that was a little frustrating to wait longer, anyway as soon as the food was delivered we asked for a check! and we pay and tip. We noticed on the check that they had to delete the original wings she rang In because Daytona wings cost more and we saw The void on the check! What nerve to be so rude When YOU'RE WRONG! My partner went to the bathroom and she came back to collect our receipt to see what we tipped while I was still sitting there! Rude, all of this put a bad taste in my mouth for hooters in general but especially this location, avoid at All cost, $48 for our Order and $8 tip it was also a costly mistake and annoyance, still tipped her something because I know servers are not paid enough but honestly wanted to leave nothing. Brooklyn, get out of customer service, you are horrible at it and seem to hate it, hooters hire people based off more than just looks your food isn't worth putting up with rude servers read more

12/05/2019 Seriously Hooters! So Leah R you're suggesting I return and give you a chance to change me for a horrible experience no thanks Well where do I begin? The weekend my Mom and I went to another location and had wings. They were wonderful. So still craving more I went for some carry out. I ordered 10 boneless wings and curly fries. When I got home the bag was soaked with grease! The wings if you call them that they were like chicken bites so small with a small handful of curly fries swimming in grease. Basically Grease Soup with Fries and bite size chicken floating around. You too can have this amazing meal for a total of $14!! I pulled out two boneless wings and put them in the container that only contained the blue cheese so you could see their massive size!! I included a photo of the Grease Bag that stained my car seat with grease! Carry out nece read more

Hubby and I ordered naked wings medium. After having a couple, we both realized that they were mild. We told our waitress, Amara, that they were not medium. She said I want to do whatever I can to make this right. My husband said that he would just have his made over. I said nope I am too hungry just give me some medium sauce. My husband agreed to give him some sauce because he was just too hungry. Amara said I am going to tell the manager what happened. The manager came over looking frustrated and said that we asked to speak to him. I explained to him what happened, but I said no I did not ask to speak to you. Once I got home, I noticed that we were charged for the sauces. Really??? I have to pay extra because you made a mistake? That is just not right. I wasn't asking for compensation. I am certainly not asking to pay extra, though!!! And no, Leah R., I will not come back. read more

Hooters - Robbery - American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Ordered an online pickup tonight. Our dad went for us to pick it up and bought it back home. When getting home noticed we were missing several items and called right away. Brooklyn who gave our dad the order answered the phone tell him to come up they have it right away. When my husband got to the restaurant that is where everything got weird with Brooklyn. First, she says I never said I would have it right away it going to take 20 mins, and next time you need to check your bag to make sure everything is there. Ok, isn't that your job? Then say I will have to pay this out of my pocket. Wait we prepaid for the order so confused about why she is saying she has to pay for it. So my husband asked to speak to the manager and she said no we don't want drama here and told him he had to wait in the car till his food is ready. He did not he went to the bar to get a drink within the minute she had his food slammed on the counter and said I hope u know I paid for that. Which is so confusing no we paid for that. Not quite sure if this girl is trying to scam someone or what. Or. Guilt trip to make my husband give her more money. read more

This was merely a to-go order of their world famous chicken wings. There was only 1 table of patrons eating which is never a good sign. Also, there was no greeter/host to lead me to the to-go counter. Once I ordered the wings, it was smooth sailing. I received my boneless wings within 15 mins or so. The wings were ok, the breading wasn't crispy like I've had in other places. The meat was quite chewy, maybe because they use chicken breast. Overall, I expected more. If not service, a decent boneless wing would've been sufficient. read more

Went here tonight after work to just chill and have a good time. It was not overly crowded, but had enough people present to still be a lively Friday night hangout. I've been here before and have enjoyed the scenery. There is indoor and outdoor seating, along with plenty of TVs if you are heading out to watch a game. During Rays baseball games, they offer $3.50 big daddy Budweiser beers. Mondays and Wednesdays have food deals. The staff is friendly and rather efficient. I have never had a bad experience with the service. Tonight, my friend and I asked to split the bill and the waitress was happy to do so. The food has always been served hot and as expected. I've had the boneless wings, curley fries, a few appetizers and the drinks. I recommend the Top Shelf Long Island. It costs $7.19 and packs a punch. I also enjoyed the 25 oz mug of Sangria for $5. They serve good craft beers (can't go wrong with a Jai Alai!). There is plenty of parking and there is open seating (just walk in and seat yourself). Overall this is a great place to enjoy good food, a fun crowd and even take the family. read more

This hooters while not known for culinary cuisine has gotten seriously worse lately. I think it's due to the self-impressed "GM" who could care less about the recent poor quality, and staffing of these overworked servers. I guess she thinks it's ok bc the uniforms changed and shorts shorter and tee shirts lower. Sorry not when it comes to food. To view prettier girls, go to the beach. Skip this hooters at all costs, especially with this arrogant GM who should still be opening doors as she has no clue about managing a restaurant, or customer service. But one can only wonder, she must be good at something...to be the GM... read more

I called Hooters and the manager (a very nice gentleman) furnished me a receipt and was very courteous! Thanks Hooters!!

I was in Tampa for business and decided to stop by for wings and a beer. Wow. They were so greasy. Literally dripping in grease. It made me nauseous. I think they might be using a cheaper frying oil at this location because for some reason the oil sticks to the food. Either that or they haven't changed the oil in the fryer in a long time. I ate my food, left my tip, and left knowing I will never return. Before your try, no Leah, I will not stop in again at some point soon to give you another chance. I know you would like to earn those 5 stars and I'm sure you are confident you can, but copying and pasting form responses to every negative review just proves to the public how out of touch the "owner" is. Your staff will never care if you don't! read more

So I've left the safety of Norfolk and Vah Beach and have made it all the way to Tampa. I figured why not celebrate the fact with trying out the nearby Hooters and see if it compares to my regular spot on General Booth. First off the place is very spacious. Plenty of room for you and your buds/lady friends. Second, while we all come to Hooters to experience the same thing, the menu has alot more to offer than just wings. I will try the wings on my next visit, whenever it may be. The service was alright, seeing how it seemed like the food and drinks should have come sooner, seeing how the place wasn't that busy. They have a good amount of beers on tap and the food is standard Hooters fare, however the menu had a bit more than what I was used to seeing at other Hooter locations. I will also agree with Steve that the selection of wing sauces was lacking. I noticed different Hooters serve different sauces and while I kind of like how the menus kind of make each place unique, they should at least have the same sauces. Overall, not bad and I wouldn't suggest not going. read more

I ordered my food online; 8 breaded wings (medium) double dipped and fried extra crispy, with blue cheese and onion rings. I chose the curbside to go pick up. Once I placed my order, I received an email with a receipt and a text with a link to click when I was on my way. The email said my food would be ready at 12:08. I got to the restaurant at 12:04, parked in a To Go spot and clicked the link to let them know I had arrived. At 12:24, I went inside the restaurant only to see my food ready to go at the bar. The bartender was very polite. She told me that for some reason, the tablet they use to let them know we have arrived doesn't always work. She also told me my food had just come up so it wasn't cold. Well, my wings are not breaded as requested and my food was cold. There was also lots of sauce floating in the bottom of my bag. No, I never turned the box sideways. I called the store to let them know my issue and the manager who was also very polite apologizing and offered to fix my order, but I was unable to go back to the restaurant since I'm only supposed to take 30 minutes for lunch. Instead, he gave me a refund. I do appreciate how polite everyone on the staff is, but they need to work on making sure orders are fixed correctly and their system works. read more

My honey and I decided to stop in here since he was craving wings. I was not craving wings so much but figured I could find something else on the menu, and I did! I went with the fish tacos. I believe they were about $8-9. The order brings 2 fish tacos with all the trimmings and a side. For my side I opted for tater tots. The amount of tater tots I got as a side was very small but since I shouldn't be eating tots anyhow I will not complain. The fish tacos were okay, I was not impressed. Maybe I shouldn't have ordered fish tacos at hooters? My honey got his wings and he was satisfied with them. Our service was pretty good despite it being a busy Saturday night. They had the NHL all star game on. Our server was really nice and she checked in on us a few times. I see the appeal of hooters, pretty girls, beer, wings, flat screen TVs all over but I just cannot stand behind their food as being really good. It is sub-par, but if your whole purpose is to watch a game and drink some beer and maybe grab an appetizer or a small bite then I guess it works. The place seems clean and their bathrooms were pretty clean, which is always a good sign. If I was there for a game and booze I would be more inclined to give it a 4 star rating but I was truthfully just there to eat and based on the food I gave them a 3 despite how hungry I was when I arrived (FAMISHED!). Their wings seem small to me. Maybe it's just me? read more

Yet once again the fit hits the shan @ south Tampa Hooters. A flood of people from outa no where & the staff handle it as if that's the way its supposed to be. This is a place where the management are not afraid to roll up their sleeves & jump behind the grill to help out. How fricking COOL is that...?

Clearly not a Chilis More like a McDonalds! We both ordered burgers cooked medium got medium rare. I had baked beans as a side these were good old pork n beans from the can with a dash of smoke sauce, my husband had the Cole slaw which was like it had been open in the refrigerator for a few weeks, flat and tasteless. We then had an order of curly fries to share at $3.99, these were under cooked and flat no seasoning at all. Fries are an add on item NOT a side dish. Sad, sad, sad. Wendy's and Burger King are 3 stars. We will not be back. read more

I ordered shrimp with medium sauce. The waitress didn't realize I had no sauce on my shrimp. Since the shrimp was on the verge of being cold, I asked another server for medium sauce. You can see what Was given to me. I ate 3 shrimp without sauce, and was never asked about my food. Once the check came I let the server know what was going on. I pointed to the "sauce" and asked if she would eat that. I got two apologies from her, yet I still was made to pay for the uneaten shrimp. I doubt the manager knows, and the server didn't seem to realize she was losing money because of it. Smh, unfortunate. read more

When I say that I love spicy foods, I'm not kidding.. I wanted to try the original Hooter's wings for so long. When I heard about the 9-1-1 sauce I knew I had to try it with them. Let me tell you... These wings had my nose running, but the hurt was SO good! My server Vyktorya was outstanding too. She brought me refills on water and more moist towelettes than I could count. She set my world on fire AND helped me clean up! Oh yeah - Levick, the manager, was super cool and personable. A great spot to catch a game, have some great food, and interact with a genuinely happy staff. If you find yourself in need of a break from reality, make it a point to try out this location! read more

Highly pissed and upset about this so I have to write a review. Long story short: we put in an online order and the food wasn't even started by the time we got there 20 minutes later so we ended up not having food. Detailed story: We put in a mobile app order so that we could have food ready when we got to this location. We drove 10 minutes out of the way to eat here but it's what us and the kids all agreed to eat. 20 minutes later when we get there, not only is the food not ready but they know nothing about it. Why? Because no one was paying attention to the printer that prints the online orders so the ticket was just sitting there. The bartender tried to start the order, which is what made us aware that it hadn't been started or sent to the kitchen. My sister and I went outside to ask everyone if they wanted to wait but since it had already been 20 min ago since we put the order in and we would've had to wait 15-20 minutes more to get it they didn't want to...So my sister and I went back inside to get the card refunded. The manager, Johnny, goes to the back to do the refund and comes back like 4 minutes later saying he couldn't and has to call IT. That confuses me because we didn't have to call IT to charge the card so we had to leave our information so he could try to do it later and then call/email us back. As a manager, I would've had the kitchen drop the food while we went out the the car to see if everyone wanted to wait or not and ran a refund on the card anyway since it's the fault of the restaurant that the food isn't ready (not the customers). All we got was a lame "I'm sorry about that" and that's it. This is NOT how you run a restaurant. Because instead of him fixing our situation, we walked out with no food and no refund. Fixing the issue would've been a good thing but since it's not, this review will change the choice of future guests who may think about going here. This is a shame for Hooters; especially with all the competition. And they weren't busy! It's was about 14 ppl in there and most were sitting at the bar. DONT WASTE YOU TIME OR MONEY! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

Not my favorite Hooters was in they area for a business lunch. Actually I don't enjoy wings anymore grew out of it, and Hooters is not the only wing game anymore so with so many locals it has lost a lot of early days luster and glory with original location on Gulf to Bay. I tried the fish tacos like another reviewer and was disappointed. Should have gotten the boneless wings. Service is good, and not a problem for business lunch. read more
