Food was excellent. We had just got done with a very long road trip and we were exhausted and starving. Our server Jasmine was incredible and everything came out very quickly. Great dining experience.

Was a typical Hooters, we just went in for a couple quick beers, didn't eat. It looked nice and clean. The background music was pretty loud Was kind of hard to talk wasn't too busy at the time. The particular server never engaged with us at all which isn't typical of the chain.
November 2025
Sehi was an absolute pleasure. She was warm and welcoming from the time I sat down. She even recommended a drink and talked me through all of the ingredients. It was delicious. The food was also good.
