I don’t know why everybody keeps shitting on Hooters food. Their wings were actually among the best around. They put Buffalo Wild wings to shame—I don’t understand how a place that named itself after a foodstuff doesn’t know how to cook that foodstuff.

sad, gristly wings with barely any sauce for quadruple the price it was in 2010.

Buffalo Wild Wings used to be awesome back when MMA/UFC was in its prime.

They used to be so crowded on a Saturday night when there was a fight card on.

Yeah, I spent many nights there watching UFC back in 2008 or 2009. I'd get dinner and then nurse a few light beers the rest of the night. You had to get there super early if you wanted a place to sit the rest of the night.

Agreed...BWW went to crap. You get a tiny little paper bowl of 6 (miniature) wings for 2.00 per wing!

Love Hooters wings.

My family actually loves bww lol, mainly the asian zing. Would only get them on tuesday for the bogo50 tho, too expensive otherwise (and still expensive with the promotion). Guess i'll tell them to try hooters next time. How are the prices for take out
