Use to enjoy them. It was a long time ago admittedly.
Lived in St Petersburg, close to the home of Hooters.
A local Hooters was close to where I worked at the time. Every couple of weeks several of us went there for lunch.
Waitresses were good looking, attentive and pleasant. Service was good and prompt, the burgers were great and beer cold. Never really been much of a fan of wings so can’t judge.
I guess it varies with location and management.
Time often takes a toll on theme restaurants. Novelty wears off, customer base declines and the quality goes downhill.
I’ve gone to one in different cities from time to time. Sadly, compared to past experiences in St Petersburg, they were all a disappointment. Less attractive waitresses, mediocre food and a generally run down atmosphere.
