Yeesh, no wonder they are going bankrupt. I just went on their website to look at the menus.

$17.49 for 10 wings and that does not include a side

I know this might read crazy but I actually enjoy Hooters wings. Medium and breaded.


Their wings are awesome. They actually opened stand alone places called Hoots similar to Wing Stop that didn't have full service just to go counter service. Was great but it lasted like a year. They popped up in DFW and went away quickly. Shame because I went about once a month

The main reason I dont go. I love their wings but I've been priced out. You can buy the breading mix and sauce at Kroger and make them yourself at home for much cheaper.

Social Media and Onlyfans killed the model.


I'd argue venture capital killed Hooters just like all the other chains they've taken out. Twin Peaks seems to be doing fine. Hooters at some point stopped being a fun party place and turned into soulless corporate chain.

The entire concept was having hot waitresses, and the waitresses were gross and ugly as frick every time I’ve been since like 2010. I really thought their chicken was good but when you completely stray from your business model you go bankrupt.

I’m guessing onlyfans and being instagram “influencers”/hoes has really cut into the number of girls who are actually pretty and desperate enough to work there, but either way it was only a matter of time.


This is it.

My man. Thanks for this news.

While we are on the subject. I’ve been saying for years hooters in thibodaux would flourish. What is stopping someone from opening a location here?

Walkons absolutely blows.

I had heard about how amazing Hooters (in general) was and it turned out to be the biggest let-down I can remember and set the standard for all Hooters in my mind.


How long ago was this?

I think it's b/c Hooters peaked in the 90's and ever since it has gone downhill gradually.

what's up with the no updated uniform since inception? Do the girls still wear thick panty hose and slouch socks?

False. Go look at Hooters of Louisiana Instagram page to see proof otherwise.


Go to an actual restaurant, you'll see.

It’s a combination of a couple things.

- Hooters food isn’t very good to begin with
- The generation that made Hooters popular are now older, but the Hooters girls are their daughters age now, so we look at them differently.
- The criteria to be a Hooters girl has opened up wider. Now bigger tits and arse aren’t necessary.
- Today’s average 20-30 year olds don’t like looking at tits and arse as much as is Gen X folks did when we were that age. They’d rather go to ChickFila or Raising Canes.

The food sucks, the girls wear pantyhose, and they apparently never them how to tease the cleavage and such. Bad management all the way around.
