Is Hooters kid friendly?

blowsfire

I wouldn't take my kids there. It's not about the girls themselves, but about some of the guys that go there. I'm sure most of the guys that go to Hooters are normal, but you always have that 1% who would act like a *kitten* and try to be inappropriate.

If you think that Hooters is the only place your kids are going to be exposed to girls in tight tops and tiny shorts, you are in for a rude awakening...

I have only been to Hooters once and didn't enjoy the food. We have enough good restaurants here that going to a chain is really not worth it. But in terms of comfort? I wouldn't mind taking children there. Lots of people do.

Okay, as my friends and I are in our mid 20's we frequent hooters a lot during football season. It's not the waitresses that I feel is inappropriate because they wear shorts and t shirts. It's a table like ours with 10 young adults cussing and cutting up during a sports game. In my defense, that's the general atmosphere with most of the tables older men, college kids and working people getting rowdy at something the ref called. In my head, I feel like I have to censor myself because there's a family with young children sitting in the middle of the patio.

Ha! I agree. I don't care for Hooters, but if I'm going to a sports bar to drink, watch the game, and cuss at the TV, I prefer not having kids around and feeling like I need to censor myself lol.

ETA: I guess it depends on the age of the kid. Babies and toddlers are too young to care; older teens are old enough to understand. The other kids, I don't know.

Well, if you want T&A in your kids' face, then sure, it's kid friendly!

Would you take your children to a place like Hooters?

No. In fairness, I'd never go there anyway, with our without our children, there's tonnes of nicer places to eat with much better food.

Then they the kids turn 18 and you let them out of the bubble you created only for them to run screaming back to you saying this isn't the world you portrayed to me. How do kids no whats right and wrong if you hide the wrong from them? Mama can I get back in the bubble its too scary out there. Nevermind......

Just for clarification here is a group of typical Hooters girls, except the one in the middle is not typical.


I certainly hope NONE of you perfect people who think the girls that work there are trashy and the people that go there are trashy with guys in the corner with a "tent" in his pants flirting with the waitress...who would ever ever let your children see another girl wearing orange dolphin shorts and a white tank top. That would be outrageous!

Some of you are so uptight! Granted, I live in Australia and I know we have a few Hooters lying around but I havnt been to them, but from what I have read, the girls are covered up and they arent objectified, so whats the big deal?

You haven't been to one, so you don't know. The girls are not fully covered up, they certainly are made objects of attention, and there is an atmosphere that I do not find condusive to raising children. As another poster stated, there are groups of people watching sporting events, cussing, drinking, lots of flirting going on, etc. Nothing wrong with that for adults, but I certainly wouldn't consider that a positive family outing.

:laugh: I've been to Hooters many times, the one time I went and this jerkoff we were with tried flirting with the waitress the manager came over and asked him to leave.
I understand not wanting to take kids to a restaurant/bar because of the atmosphere but please don't lump Hooters into some seedy bar with creepers. See above for clothing description.
There are tons of other restaurants were the girls have less covered up but because they aren't called "Hooters" it's not that big of deal.

the food at Hooters sucks, so no.

If they had a place like this, there would be alot of ladies nights

OMG running around hysterical, those orange shorts and white tank tops that she can't see anywhere else are going to scar her for life! :laugh:

Of course it isn't! It isn't very friendly to women either. Well, women who believe that women are actually human beings designed to be treated with dignity and respect.

hesn92

I have before. I probably wont again. I don't like hooters and it has nothing to do with how the waitresses are dressed. Although the uniforms are pretty ugly.

sexforjaffacakes

hey kids, I'm gonna take you to a place that objectifies women and teaches you breasts are first and foremost a sexual object for men to drool over

yayyyyyyy!

We don't have hooters here, and I'm not sure the issue with taking your kids there is the clothing (the comments say they seem well covered up) but rather the idea behind it.
It's a place where you're served by sexy girls with big tits right?
Why would you wanna teach your daughter that it's okay to be objectified like that, and that her breasts are for the pleasure of men and not for her own pleasure and feeding babies - and why would you want to teach your son that women are simply there to look good and serve you?

souperficial

I'd take a kid there. The Hooters uniform is more conservative than any outfit you'd see in my town's high school anyway, and our waitresses have only ever been ditzy, not skanky. The food's kind of gross, but that's another issue.

No, I don't think all the customers there are seedy/creepy. In fact, I've never seen someone there I'd consider a creeper. I've seen plenty of flirting going on there, which is fine because everyone is having fun and it's mutual. Hooters can be a really fun place to go for beer and wings and watch sporting events. I don't think of it as some seedy bar at all. I just don't think it's an appropriate atmosphere for children, that's all. Again, not JUST because of how the waitresses dress or that the whole notion of the restaurant is to put their waitresses on display. It has to do with the ENTIRE atmosphere. I don't want my children hearing a steady flow of cussing, so it would be ridiculous of me to take them there and then be offended because other customers are cussing. If I'm at Chuck E. Cheese and a table full of people is cussing, I may say something there. That's all I mean when I say I wouldn't take my kids there.

How many minutes until someone jumps in and says you're just jealous? :laugh:

a ken right? Because all I want to do with my time is go to a bar and watch women be treated as second class citizens whose only values are their bodies, it's so guttin living in a city where I can get wasted for 15 quid and have a great time with my friends. And also good food. Without feeling like a sexual object. I mean you just canna have it all...

When I drive thru any college town I will be sure to shield my daughter's eyes (will be hard while steering, but I will manage) so she can't see how many college girls dress today (notice I didn't say 'all' so put away the tar and feathers). Skin tight pants, revealing tops....and worse. Heck, I saw more @ss crack at the grocery story the other day from men who have no concept of properly fitting clothing. I'd rather my daughter see the girls at Hooters than the nasty @ss crack guys.

Seems to me the bigger deal parents make about it the more taboo kids will think it is. Maybe it's just me.

I take my neice and nephew to Hooters. Even with what the girls are wearing, they can't even BEGIN to compete with the women in my family. :noway:

Ok gotcha. I misunderstood.
