Seriously disappointed. Went in with fairly mediocre expectations and for the food, not the girls! Service was okay but as mentioned by other reviewers, the staff are hired on looks and certainly not customer service ability — one expects that at Hooters though. The food was absolutely not worth the money and we will never go back. We ordered garlic bread which came out as a supermarket brand garlic bread baguette(or your cheap takeaway pizza garlic bread). Worth $ 2, certainly not $ 8. We ordered traditional style hot wings(this was the reason we went) as we’ve not had them in ages and American style wings are amazing! These could not have been further from that. They came out dry(sauce less) but dripping in oil. This was not what we’d ordered! Buffalo wings should be tossed in a healthy dose of sauce after being fried, before serving. We had to ask for sauce, and that is the only reason I’m giving 2 stars and not 1, because they were okay once we poured the sauce ourselves! The burger was also dripping in oil and mayo and my husband ended up throwing half out. If you’re going to rip off an American chain, at least do it properly.

Nice place with hotties but the food are overpriced. It’s definitely a good place for guys watching sports and drinking beer.

Don’t shoot me but I took a friend here for a bit of a laugh on his birthday when up on the gold coast for a tournament. They poured it on, dancing and singing him happy birthday in front of all and sundry. The girls were friendly, happily posing for pics, hooters t shirts proudly on display. i haven’t really spent much time eating that american style spicy wings and bbq food they are(also) famous for but the food was good. Hit the spot. Parking is under the building. If you don’t let all of the attractive scantily clad, singing and dancing waitresses(and waiters) put you off your food, you’ll have a fun meal.

From the get go hooters was just as they advertise: «delightfully tacky, yet unrefined». In other words, if you wanna go for a tasty meal with some friends whilst watching some sport then this is the place to go. The service was fantastic when we went, we took a seat and were served within 2 minutes. Drinks were out within 3 more minutes and meals within 20 and it was a busy night. Very impressive. Everyone’s meals were really good. The ONLY reason why u haven’t given 5 stars on this rating is that I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out close to well done: and when you’re paying $ 40 for a steak you expect that if you order a steak medium, it will come out as a medium. I mentioned it to staff and they immediately offered a re cook which I didn’t need so they offered me a complimentary drink which I also declined. In the end they just took one of the drinks off the bill which evened it out in the end. That’s going above and beyond. Overall a well done effort hooters, really happy customers tonight

Right, so I’m torn about the stars for this review. I probably should preface with I’m a straight female. So I’m not going for the girls. But I have been here 4 times. 1st: I’d seen the work being down to get it open, so had to go 2nd: I took a couple of guys from work, as a bit of a piss-take, and to try the wings. 3rd: A couple of friends were up from NSW, and they love wings(and so did I on my 2nd visit), and we wanted somewhere close to watch the footy, so off to Hooters it was 4th: So I live upstairs from Hooters, so it was convenient for a snack and drink in the Saturday afternoon sun.(And said NSW visitors wanted cheesy fries & wings again) 1: Do I like the food? Wings, Cheesy Curly Fries, Garlic Bread. YES. A mighty big YES. There’s 2 stars their folks. Not 3, because I found the burger I had a bit meh… 2: Are there enough TV’s to catch AFL in a Rugby state and not have to straight my neck or eyes? Yes. And are the drinks reasonably priced? Yes. Another 2 stars. 3: Location. I live upstairs. It’s EASY/1 star. 4. Service. Just, so so bad. Ok, so the girls are nice and friendly. But they are hired to be nice & friendly, and look good in tiny shorts & tight hooters singlets. Clearly not hired to be able to be decent waitresses, and get orders right, or bring the right food out, and check on drinks as needed. They clearly mean well, and are just as nice to the girls as guys(which you don’t normally find in breastaurants such as Hooters), but I just shake my head. And there’s only so long that I can be patient when I’m paying $ 17 for 10 wings that technically if I wasn’t so lazy I could cook myself from the supermarket. Minus 2 stars. I would normally minus 3 for the service, but I’ll go back because it’s convenient and the wings are really good. They do take away so I think i’ll just do that next time I have a craving for wings. Fun Fact: Tell them its your birthday, or bucks do, and it turns into a Johnny Rockets type of event with singing & dancing, and hula hooping! Another Fun(or not so Fun) Fact: If you’re a boob man(or woman), you may or may not enjoy it. I think I grew up with the notion that Hooters girls were Pamela Anderson look alikes. Turns out I’m waaay wrong. Who knows, maybe they work at hooters to save up for bigger implants?!? If you’re an a$$ man, Forget it. The shorts are far from flattering, and they’re clearly hired for their hooters not be-hinds!(Yes, I am judging the staff on looks, its HOOTERS!)
