Hooters is bankrupt.

According to the article, they had a family-friendly reboot a few years ago? You can't live in a weird gray area
It either needs to be a gross place with sticky floors for sex perverts to leer at women who go home every day wondering if the paycheck/their cut of the gratuities is worth their continuing loss of dignity or it needs to change its name entirely and put waitresses in turtlenecks
The very concept seems outdated, anyway. It feels like something from an SNL parody of Mad Men where the guys take turns rating waitresses while Elisabeth Moss' stand-in looks uncomfortable

Like playboy it feels increasingly irrelevant in a post internet-porn world

I went there for my cousin’s 14th birthday. It was pretty normal aside from how the girls were dressed-most of them were wearing the low cut tshirts instead of the tank tops. They all were wearing the aprons waitresses all wear anyway. Our waitress was friendly but nothing out of the ordinary. The scene was mostly older guys eating alone and tables with other young adults taking their way too excited younger siblings/cousins out to dinner. All the empty tables I saw had a bunch of tip money.

Good riddance. I have a group of friends who always want to go there or twin peaks to watch sporting events, I don’t really know why as when we go they don’t flirt with or even ogle the waitresses. The food sucks, and at twin peaks they serve the beer so cold there are ice chunks floating in it

It was either a private equity teardown job or the tits just were not big enough

The food is terrible there. It makes no sense why their wing sauce is so bad.

the standard sauces aren't great but their spicy garlic is actually one of the best wing sauces I've had

I used to live near one where the wings were cooked perfectly. Best bar wings I've ever had. Most of their wing sauces are too sweet, but one or two were good. I miss that place, every other Hooters I've tried since did a shit job :(

The important thing is the private equity suits got their bag
