“I had an afternoon meal on my trek along I-75. I had my usual chicken and dumplings with green beans, mashed potatoes, fried apples and biscuits. It was delicious, hot and fast. The waitresses worked together and kept food and drinks moving. The management team was meeting at the big table beside me. It was exciting to hear them planning positive customer experiences for the coming holidays. The company has made notable improvements with a return to high food quality and large portions. Many thanks from a life long fan“

“First time visiting this particular South Florida Hooters location since April. I'm in the hospitality industry myself for many years and greatly enjoy the opportunity to spend a valued weekend day off to enjoy college or NFL football. It's been a rough go of it this path month. Among millions of other Floridians I was impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. My job was affected on the barrier islands near St Pete and I was out of work for most of October.

I had the very best experience today at the Port Charlotte Hooters. I'm also an employee at Raymond James Stadium. I used to work there during the South Florida Bulls football games. I was very pleased that Hooters already had the game on against Navy near my booth where I was sitting.

I've got to be honest I had one of the very best Hooters girls I've had in a long time. Destinee was absolutely incredible. She waits on table with such joyful energy. Her interactions with other tables including my own appeared genuine and thoughtful.

I do recall meeting her at a Calender signing pre-Covid at the Hooters of Westin. She remembered as well. I'm so excited to see her back and employed at this location because it's considerably closer to where I live. It's important to me to have consistent high quality service. With the level of inflation and the cost of things you want the best for what you pay for. When I return to this location I'm definitely going to request to sit with her. She's the type of server with a considerable amount of regulars. She's a tremendous brand ambassador and I hope has the opportunity next year to represent South Florida Hooters at the International Pageant and Calendar. Being a life long patron of Hooters I recognize a quality employee and experience.

Thank you
Michael J Beal

“We had not been to an IHOP in a long time, since the one closest to us in Ohio closed. When visiting in Florida we got to have breakfast at the IHOP in Port Charlotte. Rachel, our server, was great — very friendly and took wonderful care of us. The restaurant itself needs a little updating, but the food, and especially the service Rachel provided, made our breakfast most enjoyable.“
