Good one, Sig2340. An old saying for sailors, "Tits up and taking on water".

When you're in the breastaurant business you must have good food. Customers will come to look at the girls, but it will ultimately be the food that generates repeat business.

Good looking girls will make good tips. If you lack enough repeat business their tips decline and the good looking girls move on to greener pastures. This then brings in the lessor attractive waitresses, guys dressed like girls, etc. It's all downhill from there.

Exactly. When I was in high school and college, the food at Hooters was good. Not the best you'd ever have, but above average, and their wings were even better than some of the dedicated wing places. So there was a reason to go to Hooters besides the scenery: the food.

As of the last time I went to a Hooters (circa late 2000s/early 2010s), the food was terrible. So there was no longer any reason to go to Hooters over any other place, despite the waitresses. The one around here closed over a decade back.

Hooters is failing because their food sucks, not because the quality of their eye candy has declined. As a1abdj states, that's a symptom not the cause.


The exact same thing happened to another chain "breastaurant" around here, The Tilted Kilt. The food when they first opened was excellent, to the point where it was in the running for my then-wife's favorite restaurant for a couple years.

But once the food quality declined, it was only a matter of time before they went out of business, cute girls or not.

Food first. Eye candy third.

Buncha years ago I had a friend whose daughter worked at Hooters, an extremely hot Blonde, well-equipped for the job.

Hooters fired her when they found out she was only 15 years old. I guess it took a couple weeks to figure this out.

Their creditors have them over a barrel.

I once worked with a guy that would say this about his luck. He said he was the only guy he knew that could fall into a barrel of tits and come out sucking his thumb.

I suspect when it's all said and done, Hooters will have their thumb in their mouth.

Meh. Hooters used to be my go to place for wings. It was a favorite place for hail and farewell celebrations. Their customer service went to hell in a handbasket years ago, I think when the founding family turned management over to others.

It is hard to keep a single restaurant going long term, much less a chain. Beyond that, looking at the picture posted above, it looks like they "Bud Lite'd" themselves, forgetting who their customers were, and chasing what they thought was the current woke fad. Oh well...

I haven't been to a Hooters in years, but used to go on occasion with co-workers. My go to was the Philly Cheese Steak and they also had a dry rubbed spicy wing...forget the exact name. Both very good. Honestly, the waitresses were rarely all that great to look at anyway.

The novelty wore off decades ago, I'm surprised they lasted this long.

^^^ Damn, my typing is just terrible.

Went once to a Hooters about 20 years ago. The food was mediocre. Service staff wasn't anything to write home about. As stated before, I am surprised they lasted this long.

They have also been paying Jon Daly's tab for years. That can't be cheap.

Now I think you've hit on something (not someone).

Seemed to me that when I was younger, most of the guys I ever heard of going to Hooters were married men not looking to pick up waitresses, so even if you’re just looking for titillation, you have access to all the world’s streaming porn quite literally in your pocket these days. What’s the point of enduring shitty food just to see some C cups in a tank top?

The food used to be decent and the girls looked damn good. The point is seeing tits and ass in person, and not living your got damn life on the internet, but out here in the real world, instead. Yes married men were the bulk just like they are the bulk of customers at a strip club.

Thankfully we have some other breastaurants locally. And they are doing quite well. Anytime I drive by on the highway I look at the parking lot is packed. They don’t have this DEI shit going on there though. Just old school hot girls showing a little teat and ass.

Oh no …

We need to organize a ‘Save the TaTas’

I have only been to a Hooters twice in my life and that was probably 20 year ago. First time was to just check it out and have wings they bragged about. I honestly did not like their chicken wings. Sure the girls were pretty, but I mostly went for food. Next time was with a group and had a sandwich, which I didn’t really enjoy either. After that, I had no reason to go back to one.

Austin had a restaurant for a little while where the waitresses wore bikinis, but the food sucked and they didn’t last. Then there is Twin Peaks and Bombshells but have never been to them. I doubt any will last if they too have shitty food and expensive beer. I like to cook and would rather pay less for alcohol at home. I guess I am getting old. I just like to be at home.

Remember, the bottom line is where it’s at.

Old joke about a classified ad:

Lost, men’s gold wedding ring, in parking lot of Hooters.

I stopped going to Hooters because they have no specials for beer at lunch. Two Dollar Tuesdays at WingHouse FTW.

The quality of the visuals has declined significantly
