DINNER CLUB RULE: All dinner club members get to chose where we go the Tuesday after their birthday.
A great big smile came to my face when one of our founding club members (and my sister), Nicole Kosko chose Hooters of Milford.
One of the first things that came to my mind (besides breasts), was: “How am I going to write a review of this place without sounding like a sexist pig?”
Well, as soon as we walked through the restaurant doors, that thought was out of my mind. All I could say was, “I’ll start with wings, HOT, and the tallest beer you can bring me, COLD!”
Hooters offers some of the best chicken wings around (including boneless bites and strips) and not only allows you to choose from three standard buffalo flavors but also has 7 other palate-pleasing sauce options.
The only down side of the wings, is the multiple trips to the bathroom, which you can expect whenever you eat buffalo wings. At least at Hooters they are worth the countless times you have to go number two.
A few of our members had never been to Hooters before, so took suggestions from those who had.
Dave Cole said, “The BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich was OK, but boy am I glad Kenny told me about the fried pickles cause those things were bangin’!”
I guess if you’re looking for burgers or fried chicken and appetizers then Hooters is the place for your meal, but if you want some legit BBQ it may be best to try a Weber Grill in your own backyard.
It’s safe to say that service at Hooters always comes with a smile, and when you look around some waitress’ go as far as to sit at the table with you when taking your order!
Ours didn’t sit with us, but she did pose with us for a picture and was able to remember 13 orders without writing them down!
The restaurant is a little self-centered, in that the walls are covered in pictures of the Hooters girls with various Big Wigs.
I guess it’s a little like the Hard Rock Café, only instead of having sweet pictures of rock artists as well as their outfits and records hanging on the walls, you get to look at the waitresses on motorcycles or standing with the former president of the United States.
Another downside are the bar stool seats. If they really wanted people to come, enjoy themselves and stay awhile then you have to add a back and turn that stool into a chair!
On the upside they had TV’s everywhere, and if you wanted to change the channel all you had to do was ask.
Beer was cheap and the mixed drinks were scrumptious.
I strolled down to the other end of our table and took a pull off someone’s Mudslide which, to my surprise, was the best mixed drink I had tasted since 1996!
Like Wendy’s, Hooters is waaaaaaaaaay better then fast food. Maybe it’s because Wendy was a chick with hooters herself? Who knows.
But you can go there to drink, or eat a full meal. Be sure just to look at the pretty waitress, but don’t cop a feel!
