Week 106 Hooter's (Southwest Location)

Happy Labor Day readers! We are almost caught up with all our reviews. Can you imagine all the time in life you would have if you weren't working? Hey, it's okay...Brett and and I are very blessed that we both love our jobs and they allow us to live a wonderful life.

Anyway, you can like our blog on Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/thenewlywedsguidetovegasrestaurants where I post my outfits of the week provided by Patty's Closet right away. 

What Teray Says...

I really and truly believe that Brett was expecting me to pick all of these places all 9 months now that I am pregnant. Wrong...once in awhile I may get a craving here or there but it is never for anything crazy. Find a place that sells Greek yogurt and fruit and I would be there everyday. Oh and add in a side of edamame. :)

This week we figured we would go to Hooter's because we wanted casual, easy bar food without the bar scene. I know this sounds terrible, but I feel like going to a bar or club while preggo (at least if there is not a designated non-smoking section) is kind of trashy. It always makes me think of that scene in Sweet Home Alabama. If you know what I am talking about, we can be great friends. 

Anyway, Hooter's was an easy choice, because we knew we could get seated right away and we didn't have to drive too far from home. Who are we kidding? I am the driver for 4 more months now. I don't mind at all though. 

Brett started off with a beer and I of course water with 3 lemons. We chose southwest spring rolls for an appetizer and they were amazing, like beyond amazing. I think the fact that I try to stay away from fried food so much made them even better. At least, Lincoln is getting a treat here and there. 

For our meals I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich which came with french fries and Brett go the shrimp po' boy. The sandwich was huge and the amount of fries that came with it could be shared. I know speaking for myself, if I was going to eat bad, I might as well enjoy it to the fullest, and  I definitely did. This sandwich was DELICIOUS. I ate every bite on my plate, which is rare, even while preggo.

The service was fabulous and the place was clean. It was a fun atmosphere with sports on in the background. I didn't pay attention to those, I found a Las Vegas Weekly to read instead. Overall, I really enjoyed Hooter's and wouldn't mind coming here during football season with friends (for the food and virigin Bloody Mary drinks of course). I rate Hooter's 5 out of 5. 

What Brett Says...

Not knowing what we wanted...hard to believe I have a pregnant wife that doesn't have normal pregnant cravings.  I mean I was looking forward to this pregnancy so I wouldn't have to pick where to eat for 9 months.  Unfortunately for me Teray craves yogurt, fruit, and all other healthy things.  I mean it's obviously working since she is still looking hot, but that still doesn't make it any easier on me.  I turned to the Entertainment book and saw a buy one get one free coupon for a place that would return me to a time when the coolest thing to do on the weekend was going to Hooter's.  I mean, at 16 it doesn't get any better then hot girls in short shorts and low cut tops.  Now at 29 with a wife and a kid on the way I'm not going to complain about all that but now I choose Hooter's for the coupon and good food.  Not having had it in a long time we decided to check it out.  We went to the one on Rainbow near Warm Springs.

If you haven't been it is a guys restaurant that is family oriented.  Everything is lacquered wood; the tables, the floor, the bar and the stools.  There are televisions everywhere with pretty much every sport on.  Most Hooter's out there are beer only, this one being in Vegas has gaming and liquor.  The waitress' wear short orange shorts, nylons, and low cut white tank tops...all in a surprisingly classy way.  The thing I like about Hooter's is the service is always great, the girls seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs, they are friendly and just have fun.  Overall it is just a laid back fun environment...like I said a guys restaurant.

They are known for their wings, not knowing for sure I would say they brought wings to the world.  We however did not get any, I don't get it either.  We started things off with spring roll plate, it was delicious.  Just to make sure it went down right I had some mugs of beer, ice cold.  For dinner I decided to get the "Shrimp Po Boy" which is a shrimp sandwich on a long roll.  This is a new item from my high school and college days.  I decided to mix it up, I'm glad I did.  The sandwich was surprisingly filling and also had the perfect flavor.  Probably wouldn't beat a seafood restaurant but for a place know for it's wings and "atmosphere" is was really very good.  Being completely filled up we opted not to get dessert, I just had another beer.

Overall I think Hooter's is a great place.  They have a business model that seems to be working and hasn't changed over the last 14 years.  Women seems to enjoy the atmosphere and it is great for groups.  There were families, groups, and lonely guys.  All seemed to be having a good time.  The food was amazing and is a step above normal bar food.

Patty's Closet Outfit of the Week
Thanks to Patty and Juan of Patty's Closet for providing me with my outfit of the week this week. Check out my outfit of the week provided by Patty's Closet Fashion Boutique. A girly dress is one of my favorite things to wear, especially in white. As soon as the girls at PC showed me this one, I knew it was the outfit for this week. It can easily be dressed up or down. I wore it to a party during the day and put a denim vest over it to dress it down and for dinner last night just removed the vest. The detailing on the front of the dress in silver really adds that extra glam. The top is mesh and low cut, but you can put a bandeau from PC like I did to make it a little more conservative. You can find this dress at the Rainbow PC location in both white and coral.
