Avoid this place at all cost. There was 5 cooks all in the kitchen not doing anything And we were waiting 30 minutes already for our food. The cooks were all not wearing gloves and I saw them handle the garbage cans while making food as we started to leave. Walked out without eating since this place didn't look sanitary waste of time
Got take out which was still kind of a wait but man was it worth it Hooters is classic. Sure there are better wings out there but this place is solid.

We come here almost every time we come to Chicago. Always great service. The staff seem to have great teamwork especially the kitchen staff. It runs very well and food is always great!

Do not Visit this Location . The server were not attentive , we sitted at a table for over a hour with drinks no food yet . No one check on us ask did we need anything . Or even told us why was the food taking so long . When the food finally came to the table after waiting a hour it was Cold not fresh at all . So we got up and took everything to go . The waiter still charged us a $40 gratuity fee I guess for sitting there waiting on food for a hour on their behalf because , once the food came we bagged everything and took it to go . Remind you it was my son’s birthday . It messed up his whole birthday . This was Our first and last time going to this location . I talk to the manager . They didn’t seem to even care or be concerned. This down town location gets no stars 0/10 stay for Us . Staff sucks

Food was rough, in our opinion. Boyfriend and I and our German friend went for the waitresses so he could have the experience of hooters.

Food wasn't the greatest and they didn't have all the options at this location like we do down in Florida. Service was really slow, staff seemed like they would rather stand around together chatting away instead of checking to see if food was ready or why it was taking so long. The jukebox didn't have much selection of music to pick from. It definitely had alot of Justin Bieber though, if you like his music. Lol

nice and the food was great, which I truly appreciated as I was out celebrating myself. However, I did run into an issue that put a damper on the experience. I arrived at 2:50 p.m. hoping to take advantage of the 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. lunch special. After waiting about 5–6 minutes for a hostess with no one greeting me, I realized time was running out. Wanting to ensure I made the cut-off, I approached a kind young lady named Jan who was taking to-go orders and asked if I could place a dine-in order instead.
At exactly 3:00 p.m., I attempted to order the boneless chicken and shrimp specials, each priced at $9.99. Jan, who was very courteous and tried to assist, asked her manager Jasmine if it would be okay to honor the special given the circumstances. Unfortunately, the answer was a firm “no.” I was genuinely surprised and disappointed by that response. Had I been greeted and seated in a timely manner, I would have been well within the time window to place my order.
Despite that, I decided to stay and dine in. However, I ended up waiting an additional 13 minutes without anyone coming by to take my order. Several employees walked past me, but no one acknowledged me. Considering I had also paid for parking to enjoy what was meant to be a celebratory meal, it felt disheartening to be overlooked like that.
I do want to highlight and applaud the efforts of Jan and Roz—both of whom were very kind and professional. Roz, in particular, was extremely pleasant once she finally came over. This review is in no way a reflection on their service, but rather on how the situation was handled by management.
Because of how things unfolded, I will be reaching out to corporate to share my experience in more detail. I hope this feedback can be used constructively so that others don’t encounter similar issues.
Waited over 20 minutes for a sever and no one came, not even to give us water. People who came way after us were already served and eating. Horrible service, please do better with your jobs next time.

Always like to visit original places that have evolved into a successful enterprise. I was very disappointed. I've been to many Hooters over the years. My opinion is that had this one started out like this, not many folks would ever have heard of Hooters. Don't waste your time. There isn't anything here that would leave a positive impression.

It Your Boi, Twin back with a quick one.. Food: Was good all around to my surprise I have the 10wings ALL FLATS was a plus to me and the sauces was good, fried pickles and it sauce was fire 🔥 first time having those, if you never had them, and the Fire Shrimp well enough said on those, but there buffalo dipping sauce and chips stole the show.
Service: They where good only take away, during dinner hours they need ore bar tenders....hats off to the Virgin Pina colada,🤣🤦♂️ doubt anybody there was a virgin but I enjoyed mine 😀
Atmosphere: Great place to bring lots of friends, make sure you split the bill🙄😏.
Since its Hooters I have to rate the servers because thats what its about.. HOOTER GIRLS: pretty and funny and very helpful with class.💯
