Is Hooters a "family friendly" restaurant?

[Macaela25]

This question was posed on a local message board and I was surprised at the scope of responses. I'll add a poll as well to make it "scientific".

Is Hooters a "family friendly" restaurant? Do you take your kids there? Specific ages or genders only? Why or why not?

[Macaela25]

So let's discuss! Why did you post what you did?

[uncommon]

Um, no. The entire concept of the restaurant is based on hyper sexualizing the female servers.

No thanks.

I picked that I would go with my spouse, but not my kids. A couple of years ago, DH and I went out of town for the weekend. Valentine's Day was that Saturday and he got to chose where ever he wanted to go for lunch and I got to chose where to go for supper. He chose Hooters, "because of the wings." (I really do believe him on this-he is a really good guy)

No, I wouldn't take children there. The uniforms objectify Women, we are not just a piece of meat!

No its not for kids or teens!
I would go with my hubby tho but if you are the jealous type its not a place for you to go with the hubby or boyfriend.

While their wings are really good, I wouldn't take my kids there when they were young. I wouldn't want my DD working there either.

I totally agree! What's wrong with leaving a little bit to the imagination?

Technically it's better than a nudie bar. That's about all it's better than..when it comes to the atmosphere...

We went on a family vacation to Florida with my mom & grandma when I was 16 and my sister was 12.

Somehow we wound up eating lunch at Hooters one day. I don't quite know why we four ladies decided to eat lunch there, but we did.

I was mighty embarrassed that I went to Hooters with my Gram rather than traumatized by the scantily-clad waitresses.... I'm gonna have to try to remember to ask my sister if she remembers that, and if she was traumatized.

(I'm pretty sure we got t-shirts or some other logoed souvenirs while there, too.)
