Came here tonight during the car show/cruise night and place was packed outside with people coming in and out all throughout the show.
Parking - plenty of spaces when it’s not during a cruise night.
Service - I had Natalie as a waitress and she was phenomenal. Waitress came and checked how I was doing multiple times during my visit here and each time was “in you need anything, please let me know.” Manager was walking around quite a bit through my visit, checking on everyone to see how they were and needed anything. Cook would yell to the waitresses when orders were up..which is something I’ve never seen or heard but it works and definitely gets your attention.
Food - I had the steamed shrimp 1/2 lb which came out to roughly be 10-12 pieces of shrimp with a side of cocktail sauce, a side of garlic butter and a lemon. Was pretty good, seasoned but once you take the shell off, it is what it is…shrimp. Then I had a bowl of chili with cheese and onions…which I love my chili, the only downfall, which I don’t know if it’s because of eating seafood first…the chili tasted like it was Hormel or a canned chili. It just had that taste to it that it didn’t taste like it was made in-house.
This is the last Hooters in CT and really hope that it doesn’t close because it does do good business and it’s a staple here in CT and we’re not to far from everything in the state. Overall…I’d give it 5* but the chili is what gets me..on a scale of 1-10…this was a solid 8.7 and the service is what did it, otherwise I prolly would’ve been in the 7’s..on a 1-5, it’s a 4.6..again, service is what saved it from being high 3’s to low 4’s.
