Who cares. Hooters/Twin Peaks are terrible anyways. Terrible service, dickhead managers that tend to be pimps by night, mediocre/overpriced food, you're paying for an ambiance that gets old after high school, and even earlier than that now with the advent of the internet and free pornhub, r/ et al.

Who thought the shorts and pantyhose look for waitresses was a winner? Should already be out of business just for that.

Even twenty years ago the bright orange shorts looked awkward fitting and outdated.

They changed the wings but they're still pretty good. I think Groupon still has a buy $30 get $15 off deal for Hooters when you register and order online.

I'd kind of miss them. It was a cheap place to watch Spurs games back when I didn't have a TV in school and the Three Mile Island wings were pretty good.

Hell yeah... a pile of three mild island wings and a pitcher a beer while the spurs were on. :tu

I haven't been there in 15 years or so though.

I preferred Fatso`s in childhood, but it recently went out of business or so I heard

The managers of those establishments tend to be pretty slimy is what I've noticed. Haven't been to one in a long time; but I doubt that's changed.

These two were working at the local Hooters during the Championship era when Timmy Dunks and the Spurs were able to overcome Pop and the refs 3 of 5 years.

In a March 26 statement on its website (https://www.hooters.com/about/news/our-commitment-continues), the company noted that, with its dining rooms closed and revenues halved, it and its franchisees

Revenue only halved?

Man, people like overpriced frozen food more than I thought.

The plaintiffs say they and approximately 679 other similarly situated workers are owed 60 days' compensation and benefits, as the WARN Act obligates employers to give 60 days' notice before a mass layoff or plant closing. Hooters gave workers no advance notice, plaintiffs said. "Defendant could have but failed to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 upon its 679 employees 60 days prior to the March 25, 2020 mass layoff, as evidenced by the fact that it gave no advance written notice whatsoever," the complaint said.

Scumbags.

yeah no shit, breastaurant manager by day, corner pimp by night

And I learned the lesson in college... don't fuck with 'em, chances are he's packing heat back there, and not just in the kitchen. If they (curtly) ask you to leave, floor your ass out the door and don't come back. I don't care if it's the final drive of the 4th quarter. Usually there's another place close by so you won't miss much of the game anyways.

Were you trying to buy one of the girls? I’m curious as to why you say they are pimps.

Just by the less-than-professional looks, tonality and personality of those dickwads. They look, talk and act like they've never set foot in a college class in their lives. Uneducated lowlife scum.

Not a Hooters, a Twin Peaks. In 2017 in Plano. And I didn't do jack shit except I was watching the Eagles vs Redskins game, week 1, it was right around halftime. Just enjoying myself, was in the outside part with all the different TVs, each one had a different game on. I completely ignored the girls and everyone around me and was just zoned out on the TVs when the dickhead (lowlife no-college white scum bucket around 35-40 range) came up and incited me and told me to fucking leave just because I hadn't "bought anything yet"... I left and went to the sports bar across the street but srsly, wanted to beat his ass tbh...

I still like hooters. Plus if you get a nice waitress with big flappy naturals, a+++

They've revamped their wings recently too, more flavors, more dry rubs, the alcohol is crazy over priced tho that's where they get ya
If you go during the week they often have crazy good wing deals and specials.

I'll never go back to Hooters. Had a terrible experience there. Met some bros there after work to have some beers and watch whatever games were on. Right from the get-go, our waitress was a total bitch. And I can pretty much ignore that shit but my old college bud, Parky D, can't let stuff like that go. So over the course of a few hours, they've built up quite a bit of animosity. It didn't help that we'd started doing shots and Parky was loaded as hell. At some point, Parky had enough of her attitude and after she served our drinks and turned around, he grabbed a beer bottle and chunked it out her. Missed by a mile. It sailed across the bar and hit some old lady in the head and sent her to the hospital. Later that night, I get a phone call from my mom saying that Nana is in the hospital. Yep...some asshole clocked her with a bottle of beer. Fuck Hooters.

I remember the Tilted Kilt in Round Rock was full of good looking gals with pushed up boobies.
Too bad it closed down years ago.
The food was not good.

I remember Grumpy's in a green old shack in a small cheap motel building. Right on I-10 about halfway on the drive between SA and Houston.

The place featured 50's decor and little old lady servers and was not a breastaurant, but the service (and the food) sure lived up to the name of the place.
