Have you visited here since their remodeling? The upgrade has made the atmosphere so much better. This gives Hooters it's first star. And, if your sports team has orange within one of their team colors, then you can feel right at home wearing your orange jersey.
The upgrade has made the women's restroom very nice. The dining area now offers chairs with backs (before those stools were falling apart). Seems like most tables now have their own flat screens in the indoor section of Hooters. The remodeling gave the whole place a more open and more clean appearance.
When I check in here on yelp, I sometimes tease about testing your date to see how insecure or jealous she can get by coming here. She doesn't even have to be with you -- you just have to tell her that you're here. Then see how angry she gets.
Part of the hateful feelings come from misconceptions about Hooters. One of the things I have heard about Hooters is that it is only a man's place, as in only men come here. I beg to differ. I've witness customers that have included women only, couples [gay, straight, and lesbian couples], families, and, yes, plain ol' stereotypical dudes.
I have noticed that it's those parents who wish that their little boys grow up to be straight, so they deliberately bring their strappin' young males to be photographed with gorgeous women. Just in case your boys don't grow up attracted to females, I always have to think of George Takei when he wrote, "I've always said, I love young heterosexual couples, for they will make the gay babies of tomorrow!"
The funniest group of customers that I've seen at Hooters on San Mateo were a table of five men. They all looked macho; they all seemed to pride themselves on being in committed heterosexual relationships. Apparently one of their bromancing companions failed to meet up with them there, so one of the guys calls him up and states to him loudly over the cell phone, "Quit being a pussy and get over here!"
A miscalculation from the Woman's movement helped give rise to sexual places like Hooters -- I mean -- with us women being free and all to make our own choices... I bet those bra burners are burning mad that their intentions accidentally helped grow topless places like today. Don't worry! Hooters is *not* a strip club like some people have thought it was. And, Hooters women are never topless (at least at work anyway). It's just that sex sells, and the founders of Hooters knew that. So, the female servers wear small tank tops with the lovely short orange booty covers.
If you have visited a beach, then you'll see humans with less clothing on. Then why PAY to see a LITTLE more over up at eateries? It's the macho dudes and the like. They keep this place busy. Moreover, it is women who are apathetic to feminism. Yes, I'm one of the females that just doesn't care sometimes because I pick my battles based on time. You all can fight that war for me, and while you're at it, take two of Hooter's stars with you for the effort.
For the record, I've seen women donned with more revealing work uniforms at Twin Peaks and Ojos Locos. If Hooters makes you livid, the avoid the aforementioned in order to not spontaneously combust. I know feminists like Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson cringe at all of these places. If you can get past all of the politics and the demeaning ideas behind places like these, then you won't mind visiting a Hooters any time soon. Let's face it--women are working there, and in this economy I hear the money isn't too bad; otherwise, they would find employment elsewhere.
What I do not like about Hooters is the tea. The tea is weak. Save yourself the money and just order water instead. And, there used to be a female manager at this location who was mean. You think she'd get paid enough to be jolly. Not this one; she looked like she wanted to fight me after work. I guess a catty beast can be anywhere. Luckily I haven't seen her there in years, so I think I'm safe.
The wings are good. They used to have an all-you-can-eat wing night on Wednesdays, but I do not know if that is still offered. The wings are also available on the children's menu. A kid can eat for free from any of the choices on the children's menu on Saturdays as long as an adult meal is purchased. Although you save on the food, the children are charged for their drinks (just a heads up).
I mainly just go there for the wings; I've tried the traditional and boneless; I prefer the traditional type. I don't really order anything besides the wings. Some of my family members have, and they say that their food is good. The sides like the fries and fried pickles are tasty. I have tried the desserts. They all are frozen. Hooters needs to come up with fresh desserts. For now, they have earned two stars for their food, and they are rated as A-OK.
