My family of 4 ate dinner at Hooters for the first time. Our $93 meal was a surprisingly good value.

The mozzarella sticks at Hooters had a great cheese pull.

As an appetizer, we split an order of Hooters’ mozzarella sticks.

We paid $9 for six sticks and a side of marinara dipping sauce. The sauce was a bit thicker and chunkier than I prefer, but the mozzarella sticks were golden brown and perfectly cooked.

The cheese pull on each stick was on point, too.

My husband didn’t love Hooters’ traditional, breaded wing style.
The Hooters boneless wings were tasty and flavorful.

To say I loved my $13 order of 10 boneless wings is an understatement.

Everything about the dish, from the crisp breaded coating to the moist chicken inside, was perfect. I chose to have them tossed in the Samurai Teriyaki sauce, which was flavorful and delicious.

The wings were even more delicious dipped in my side of blue cheese.

Both of my kids ordered burgers.
We don’t often see curly fries on the menu at chain restaurants.

A side of curly fries was normally $5, but we got them for a bit less because our server charged them as a side upgrade for my son’s meal.

It’s rare to find curly fries at any restaurant, so it was fun to nosh on them while taking a break from the spice and flavor of our wings.

We closed out our meal with miniature desserts.
Our meal at Hooters seemed like a good value.

I’d say our first trip to Hooters was pretty successful.

My daughter acted scandalized by the servers’ outfits while my son seemed unfazed by all of the sexy fanfare — but our food was really, really good.

Although $93 seemed a bit high for a meal from such a casual chain, I felt the price was worth it. The portion sizes were large, and everyone enjoyed their meals a great deal.

The only thing we’d change if we went back is we’d order naked wings instead of breaded ones.
