Hooters - Chicago O'hare

Revisited 10/24 Hooters ownership had reached out to me in regards to my initial review (kept below for other readers) and offered a cash certificate to come back. We did retry Hooters. It was better than the first time, but still wasnt that great. We did have a burger that was properly cooked to order and it was pretty good. But the wings were just as underwhelming as the first time. Service was better this time. We did note that side dishes like fries and dips are all additional charges. Our overall bill was $48, but even after applying the gift certificate and bringing the cost down to $23. It barely felt like we had $23 in food. It's just overpriced here. Thank you to ownership for reaching out, we do appreciate it. My original review was 2 stars, this visit was maybe a 3.5. So I'll cut the difference and settle on 3 stars. But I still have no desire to go back. Reaching out again won't be necessary. Thank you. ORIGINAL REVIEW I personally wanted to give Hooters 1 star, but seeing as 1 star means "I hated it" I couldn't. I strongly disliked it for a number of reasons, but first lets focus on the good things. The restaurant accepted reservations and held onto them well. The waitresses are vibrant and the traditional wing quality is about what I expected and I have high expectations for wings. Now the less than ideal. The food had such little flavor. Traditional Daytona Wings (pictured) had an underwhelming sweet heat flavor. The blackened chicken caesar salad was very disappointing. The chicken did not have any taste to it and the dressing was watery. What made the experience even worse is that i received the salad at least a full 5 minutes before I even had a fork to eat it with. My previous experience with Hooters (not this location) was lackluster and this visit only confirmed that I wont return to another one.

DISAPPOINTING! The waitresses are doing a great job but the kitchen its BAD! They are late with orders, mixing them or totally forget to make. Some wings came with almost no sauce because they forget our orders and then rushed! If you want a relaxing dinner dont come here! I will never come back again!

School is important. 15 minutes to take order. I been getting beer from the bar. We came in as 2 families asked for separate checks, but kids and parents been sitting at separate tables across each other . So girls could not figure out how to bill us , and asked us to sit at right tables the way we want to get billed
