Hooters

Despite the great food and great scenery. Looks are very deceiving. I worked for Hooters for 7 years. And in an instant it all went down the drain. All because of negligence and carelessness. They had a sorry group of managers, starting with the General Manager himself. He had 2 assistant managers that acted like teenagers in middle school. The other one was a simpleton from Houston. The only decent manager they had was a man named Chris Tijerina. That was NOT a place for employment. That place was filthy! Nobody was held accountable for their actions. I did what I could to keep up with that place, but no one gave a rats a**.

This location was great! The Hooters where we live is older and hasn't been taken well care of. This location was clean, newer and overall a good experience. The staff was friendly, as expected, the food arrived faster than at home and was probably even a little better than home. If you are in the area this is a great location to spend your money at. Service was great and I wish our home location was in the same ballpark as this one!!

The food is never the issue. Daytona Beach wings were awesome, as per usual. Took a minute to get seated, even though it was right at noon. Was an average amount of people, I assume, I'm not from the area, just visiting. (But I do try to go every time I'm in town.) However, I only saw a couple waitresses on top of the bartender and a manager who was periodically making the rounds. Our waitress was pretty attentive at first, but started slacking toward the end, with the person I was with needing a drink refill for awhile, we wanted to take the remainder of our food to go and therefore waited a little while for a to-go bag, bill, etc. We waited after she finally dropped off the bill and took our card for her to come pick up the receipt, but once she cashed us out, we never saw her again. Food's always a hit, but seems like every time I go lately, service is more of a miss.

Service was top notch. Quality of food was good. I ordered the Daytona wings and an ice cold bud light. Can't go wrong. I really like that they had some special items on their menu. I might come back and try some more before I leave town. Hickory smoked wings are at the top of the list. Anastasia was my server and she was very attentive. She even followed up with management when they didn't have the shot glass in stock with the town name on it.
