Dive into Hooters' Fall Specials Wings, Gumbos, and More Await

We all know that fall is a celebration of change as it marks the transition from warm to cold. But it is not just the weather that’s transitioning; it’s also the menu items from your favorite restaurants! It’s time to bid bye to your summer favorites as a new menu lineup is set to enter the scene. They usually come in fall flavors such as pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and apple, But today, we’re steering away from the usuals.

That’s right! Hooters, the original wing joint, is launching a limited-time offer for fall, which features a lineup of our most craveable food items.

Seasonal Fall Specials

We’re starting off strong with the Hooters’ Buffalo Lemon Pepper wing sauce that plays on zesty and spicy flavors. It is best enjoyed with any of Hooters’ world-famous wings!

But if you’re not in the mood for wings, Hooters is bringing in more flavor featuring Cajun! You’re in for a treat with the Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo priced at $7.99. This hearty stew is inspired by the iconic Louisiana flavor and served with a side of Texas toast that makes the perfect comfort meal.

There’s also a new limited-time addition to the burger menu items at Hooters. Say hello to the new Pretzel Bun Sliders, which takes bite-sized sandwiches to a whole new level. It is filled with ham, provolone, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes, which are all sandwiched in two Pretzilla Pretzel burger buns. It comes with a side of curly fries for only $13.99.

What’s The Buzz Around Hooters?

Hooters is one interesting restaurant concept apart from their orange theme and owl logo that the brand is most recognized for. It all started with “the happiest accident in restaurant history” moment. The Hooters story began in 1983 in Clearwater, Florida, with six businessmen without any prior restaurant ownership experience. They wanted a place where they couldn’t get kicked out, and more than three decades later, they grew to become an international sensation. They have over 420 Hooters in 29 countries!

But of course, they also had their share of controversies, such as another popular figure in their restaurants, the Hooter Girls, who dress in white tank tops and dolphin orange shorts. They are the ones who take customers’ orders and serve them at the table. 

You pretty much get the idea that Hooters is a place for men where they can enjoy a b*er with friends while a sports game is playing in the background. You wouldn’t even think of the place as something you’ll bring your kids into. Still, in 2013, during Hooters’ 30th anniversary, they transformed the restaurant into something where you can bring your family in for a feast. 

In 2013, they revamped their Houston store with “sleek and contemporary finishes” that are complete with a high ceiling and lighter-colored bricks for a more family-friendly approach that can serve as a place to have lunch and dinner.

From The Club

Wow! Hooters sure has got their game going with these new releases. I like my wings sweet and a bit spicy (tangy will also do), so I’m excited to try the Hooters’ Buffalo Lemon Pepper. I can pair it with the Pretzel Bun Sliders, too, but that would surely make me feel full. I hope Hooters released a drink to wash it all down; maybe a refreshing fruit shake will do! Either way, I’m looking forward to trying everything on the menu.
