Their wings are terrible.

Oh, don’t forget about Hoots, their brand without the outfits and the same food. Not a joke.

There was a Hooters in downtown Atlanta that was one of the few restaurants open super late in the area. We went there a few times after late night stuff for Dragon Con. That’s sort of my biggest gripe about downtown Atlanta, they really do roll up those sidewalks pretty early.

I went to a Hooters once around 2006 or so. Their hottest wing sauce was called “911” and for fun when the waitress came around I pointed to that on the menu and told her that I was deeply offended that Hooters would dare to use our “sacred tragedy” of 9/11 for the name of some wings. She immediately got all bug-eyed and said “oh no no no no no that’s not what it means” and ran to get her manager. Manager dude came over and apologized profusely and insisted it was named after the emergency phone number. He comped the whole table’s bill and gave me four $50 gift certificates to boot. At that point I was way too embarrassed to admit I was just kidding.

I never ended up using the gift certificates. It helped that Hooter’s food sucks.

I find it funny that the dude who made Hooters made it for himself because he was banned from so many strip clubs that he thought he would make his own version of one. And that because he only cared about himself, it never evolved and was dying until he sold it after declaring bankruptcy last year.

Maybe with the new owners, we will finally get the Femboy Hooters we really want.

I feel morally obligated to put this into the thread.

Hooters is coming up with a delivery service where the Hooters’ girl will come to your house and give you the restaurant experience at home.

They are planning on calling it Knockers.

They’re kinda right. Hooters is what happens when there’s no outlet so it comes out weird

I was talked into going once on a high school trip in the early 90s and the waitresses at that location were B cups at most, but clearly picked just for looks. It was entertaining that the guy whose idea it was to go was extremely shy and had the hardest time just talking to the waitress. Wings were ok, but not good enough to ever go again.

More recently on an anniversary trip my wife talked us into going to Salt Life as we had been laughing about the ‘slut life’ looking stickers we saw back at home. It was the beach version of Hooters.

Ya’ll want weirdo creepy shit?

My Dad made a thing of taking me, a 12 year old boy back in the early 00s, to Hooters, for a while, and would encourage me to oogle the servers.

This is… previously, before this, I was raised extremely prudish and right wing nutjob style Christian.

My Dad just snapped, internally, at some point… alcoholism followed this.

… my parents are still married, for some reason, even though they have clearly hated each other for a very long time.

spent a couple years somewhere in Europe. stuff i always thought should be normal goes without saying. strip clubs in the states aren’t normal. blame the blue-laws and 3.2 beer.

Wait until he hears about twin peaks.

When I graduated from 8th grade (that might be different from yall, but i spent 9 yrs at a k thro 8 grade school) i wanted to go to south st with my school mates. Mom was insistent, that dinner was for me and the fams, but i could pick where we went. I was sour.

I picked hooters on delaware ave, those wonderful big tittied jawns put me up on the table, sang a song to me and there are some silly pictures that exist somewhere…

Anywhoots I forget my point. Yes lets not objectify anyone, but like any big corp or franchise, they have some workers who are great and deserve respect.

Now when is someone gonna make femboy hooters a reality

I think the popularity of Hooters was because the lie that the stripper is in love with you is more believable at the Hooters.

The tits being visibly there but clothed just adds to the titillation. Makes sense to me. And it’s less sketchy than a strip club.
