Yes, who knew? Certainly you did not as clarified by this post. So, you were quick to slander unknown number of men who are unknown at all to you by labeling them "Creepy" yet you yourself had no idea what really happens at the establishment. IMHO, with which I am sure you disagree wholeheartedly, you owe the thread a sincere apology for how quick you are to jump to judgement on people and things of which you knew zero.

Very funny, I'm not biting. I don't owe any apologies for the behavior of some of the men being outlined.

Yes, was in one of those restaurants many years ago and never went back to any of them. You are welcome to take your children, grandchildren and wife to one everyday if you wish. They are not everyones cup of tea and if one doesn't think there are creepy old men in this world, one needs to get out more.

Their baby drums are very tasty. I used to take my department to the downtown Boston location in the 1990's......

Oh, I agree with you. There are creepy old men in this world. Just as there are crazy old cat ladies. Still, I don't go around labeling people as creepy simply due to their choice in dining establishment. I mean, it's not even a strip club, much less a swingers party, right? It's a public, family-friendly chain restaurant. Just like I don't jump to call out everyone I disagree with a crazy old cat lady or a morals-lacking jezebel s(ut. However, those are out there in this world also.

If you take the time to read through all the posts, no where did I indicate all men walking through the doors of those restaurants are creepy. SOME, maybe quite a few, are. Yeah, there are crazy, old cat ladies too, no argument. Just think the argument that all men walking into those restaurants are saintly is a bit silly. But look at the bright side, they been recommended as a nice family restaurant for the kiddies so no foul, no harm.

Just so they can move fast. The best wings are the ones that are eaten as soon as they are cooked. Wings do not age well.

Nope, someone else did that (below). I simply stated how judgmental and damaging it was to so broadly paint so many with such stain with neither evidence nor discretion.

We all need more banks and Walgreens in TV!...And more diabetes shops like Dunkin! This Hooter's thing that nobody but creepy gross men want should be banned. I am going to start a petition!

If one has had the opportunity to eat at Boosters, their waitstaff are in their 20’s. Tips are far and above other establishments ( according to some waitstaff) because they are good at their job. No gimmicks, bunch of TVs, decent bar food, and bartenders. So if one bar/grill can hire great waitstaff, then maybe other new establishments can find great waitstaff.

Hooter’s is building on a major road, it just happens to run through The Villages. They are looking for customers, probably couldn’t care less if they are Villagers or not. So get over yourselves !

Excellent chicken wings, and usually very good waitresses with good attitudes.
