Can Hooters food stand on its own without the hot girls theme?

Isn't it basically like Applebee's or Chili's with slightly better food? I'd say yes, since other basic chain restaurants are doing fine.

Voted yes, I had not been to one since probably 2001 and went last year. I thought the food was much improved and have been back a couple times since.

I don't know if they'll survive but their food is ALOT better than Buffalo wild wings.. I think the fact that they had hot girls and no longer do could hurt them .. around here we go there for big boxing matches and sporting events so they would have to strongly focus on that like Buffalo wild wings does.

their wings are not that great but they're above average

I love their crab legs.. when I go there my girl and I just devour those and order some wings...

But, long term, the whole Hooters thing might be over. Newer places with a similar theme are probably stealing their market share. Tilted Kilt and Twin peeks most likely.

Reading "Tilted Kilt" got my hopes up . . . I was thinking "hot Scottish laddies." So I Googled it and was completely disappointed.
