We battled, we fought, and ultimately, we won. What did we win? We won the battle of the wings. On January 17th and 18th my friend Paul and I visited two restaurants known for their wings: Buffalo Wild Wings and Hooters. In our visits, we enjoyed our wings, watched some sports, and I got rejected. First I'll start with our experience at Hooters. When we arrived we were greeted by a blonde wearing orange shorts made for my 6th grade sister and a Hooters tank top for my sister (I'll talk more about her later). It’s safe to say that we didn't mind the outfits, but anyways, back to the actual restaurant. We were seated right away and received our drinks fairly quick. The waitress we had was also a blonde wearing the same clothes made for a 6th grader. When you get seated, the first thing you notice, besides all the waitresses, is all the T.V.'s and the bar. On the T.V.'s, Hooters has all types of sports on, ranging from: NBA, college basketball, NFL, etc... We then proceeded to order our wings. I ordered the chipotle BBQ wings and Paul ordered their buffalo wings. We split the wings so we could each taste the buffalo wings because those are the ones we are comparing. The wings were tender and firm at the same time. The wings also came with a side of curly fries and a big cup of ranch. 1 order of 10 wings, fries, and ranch was only $8.95. Both of us were surprised at how cheap the wings were and that Hooters didn’t charge for the cup of ranch. It is safe to say that we were both filled after the meal. Our bill came out to be right around $18. We left a generous tip for the waitress since she was so nice and polite (and for other reasons). Now this is the part of this blog where I return to the blonde that greeted us. As we were leaving, I asked her out on a date to the movies. At first, it seemed like I was going to get a yes, but then… “I have a boyfriend. Sorry.” REJECTED. Anyways, back to Hooters, overall, it was a good experience and the wings were good. Hooters gets our approval.

The next day, Paul and I went on a bro date to Buffalo Wild Wings, or Bdubs. We arrived later then we wanted to so it was packed. It was packed because it was 50 cent wing Thursday. We had to wait for about ten minutes so, it wasn’t too long. When we were seated, we saw numerous TVs with the same kind of games on as Hooters. For our order, I ordered 12 honey BBQ wings and Paul ordered 8 honey BBQ and 4 hot wings. The hot wings were their buffalo version of Hooters. We also asked for a cup of ranch with our wings. The wait for our food was about ten minutes but, we didn’t mind because we saw lots of friends there so the whole time we were just talking with friends. When our food did arrive, we dove in, fork first. Paul gave me two of his hot wings and I gave him two of my honey BBQ wings so we’d each have the same amount. That first bite let me tell you, was amazing. The next bite was just as good as well as the rest of the bites. We ate those wings quicker than Roadrunner outrunning Wily Coyote. Afterwards, we were stuffed. The waitress left us the bill and it was $13.50. It was $6 for 12 wings since it was 50 cent wings and each cup of ranch was $.75 cents.


Now, it is time for my recommendation. After both visits, and 22 wings later, I recommend... wait for it, wait for it, Buffalo Wild Wings. I recommend this between the two because Bdubs has more variety in wing flavors, better tasting wings, the decor and waitresses are more suitable for a family, and the waitresses are a tad bit better at their jobs. Now don't get me wrong, Hooters is still a good option. If you happen to be a single guy or going out with "the bros," then Hooters is the spot because it gives you more then just food. 


However, Bdubs is better. Their wings filled Paul and I up more, there were more TVs, and the waitresses seemed like they knew more about their job then the ones at Hooters. The only thing going against Bdubs is the price. Bdubs is more costly than Hooters if you don't go on $.50 cent wings, but in the long run, its worth it. All in all, Bdubs is the way to go.

The Purpose to Life

The purpose of my blog is to compare different wing joints. I will be comparing Hooters and Buffalo Wild Wings. The criteria I will be judging the two places will be:


  • Menu
  • Service
  • Decor
  • Price
  • Taste






VS

HOOTERS



Single Destination

The best restaurant in town to go to if you are a single man is with out a doubt...HOOTERS! The place has great wings and even better breasts. The vibe there is nice and relaxed. You can go there, sit down, relax, and catch up on some sports. However, the service is a story within itself. The waitresses are phenomenal! They are sweet, polite, and overall amazing. One visit and you'll be going back for their wings and breasts.
