What do you do when a younger, prettier version of you starts flirting with your man, or in this case, men?
You get yourself a sexy new dress.
The Hooters on Kirby was looking a little long in the tooth when Twin Peaks opened directly across the street 13 months ago. (OK, it’s the Southwest Freeway.)
Hooters has gone and gotten itself all gussied up. The wings joint will be celebrating its “grand unveiling” with a Sip n’ See VIP party 4 p.m.-7 p.m. Jan. 23. Party guests will include 2013 Hooters Girl of the Year Rachel Fashing and several of the Hooters Calendar Girls.
The revamp of the 20-year-old store now will serve as a prototype for future renovations and builds of the 400+ restaurant change.
“Hooters is exceptionally proud to reveal this design concept, reinvigorating the look and feel of our traditional restaurants without losing the essence of our iconic brand that the world has loved for 30 years,” Dave Henninger, chief marketing officer, Hooters of America, said in a release.
Here are before and after shots:

So what can you expect?
This is from the release:
Hooters guests who visit the newly redesigned location will experience a variety of design elements that will surely keep them comfortably seated for hours enjoying Hooters world-famous wings and catching a game on many large, high-definition televisions. The high exposed ceiling, painted ductwork and cypress wood walls give a more open and brighter appearance, and materials such as light colored face brick provide texture throughout the space.
“Guests will also benefit from a more centrally located and prominently placed bar, complemented with swiveled bar stools for ease and comfort. And speaking of comfort, the Hooters of Kirby location also features new booth seating and high-back chairs at all tables with an enhanced seat size and added padding.”
Can’t wait until next week? Stop by today. The restaurant only closed for a handful of days during the redesign, which began in November.
Hooters: 2519 Kirby, 713-527-9464
"Enhanced seat size and added padding" -- the jokes just write themselves!
for the new and improved 'murican fat ass
Not exactly the point I was trying to make there, Francesco...
The real question is are they doing anything about their crappy food? If not, I won't be going back!
They can re-design the interior all they want. that was not why they started losing business. Hooters is not the best place for wings, but people went there for the 'atmosphere' aka girls in tight shorts and tops. The issue is the girls that they are hiring, by enlarge, are not the same small frame, large chested girls they used to hire. Screw PC and equal rights for men and fat women... HOOTERS, you want to bring back the business? Well then, bring back the HOT CHICKS !!! (just sayin')
How much do YOU weigh?
I'm 107 lb with 2 d's, Margaret
My husband and I seldom go to Hooters, when we go it is for the waitress's
Better question!!!!
How much do YOU weigh?
"by enlarge" -- that's funny! Did you do that on purpose?
You hit the nail right on the head...
Wow..it still looks like crap.
Nice boob job, er...I mean FACE LIFT!
People go to Hooters to eat?
Newly renovated resturant will throw big party to relaunch. Try "restaurant".
Nice catch of a typo. I do think Syd Kearny knows how to spell the word correctly.
"Syd Kearney."
No hot chicks was the reason the boys & I stopped going years ago...TMC now has no cover until 9 and HH with beer & wine $1.75!!!!!!! Why go back to hooters???
the girls in TP are more hospitable and friendly. when there are a few customers, they talk to the customers. at hooters on a slow day, the girls will chat each other up and just check you up on refills kinda like a dennys. its a sexually oriented business... at home i serve my wife and kids, when at a a sexually oriented business... Serve me!
Hooters food is down right lousy. Twin Peaks came along with their awesome food and ladies and I've never been back to Hooters and never will.
Sorry Hooters, but you can polish a turd, but it still stinky....just sayin'
It looks very nice, and look at all of those reflecting surfaces!
The customers will be so busy covering their ears to escape the din, they won't be pinching or tugging anything they shouldn't.
=/
"from the release"
Yes, indeed.
Too bad the food doesn't live up to the billing. I like pretty gals as much as any man on the planet, but when I pay for food, I want it to be worth what I pay. I've tried several Hooters over the years, always at the urging of friends who say "its gotten better". Sadly, never the case. But ya gotta admit, they've got the marketing down.
I sure hope they did some major renovations to that disgusting and stinky restroom they have there as well!! and YES you want to regain your market share??? Hire hot chicks again period!
Car been broken into 2 times at that location. Good luck.
The headline says primo hooters and this is what we get? Talk about a bait and switch.
Why do restaurants seem to think that adding in those overhanging pipes makes it a better eatery? I've seen several restaurants with that design motif and I don't quite understand it - but then I'm not a Mario brother.
Only thing worth ordering there are the Bentley wings. The 59@Kirby location, whatever you may think of it, has the hottest girls aside from the I-10 Katy location. Both of those are beaten handily by Twin Peaks, as other commenters have stated. I know Hooters got in legal trouble for firing a girl that got fat after she'd worked there for some time, but this whole movement away from hiring big-breasted women has sold their market share solidly to TP and I doubt they'll get it back.
I've never been a fan of hooters wings. Just FYI.....lol.
Buffalo Wild Wings has my vote forever and ever and ever! I only wish they'd bring back the Pizza Rolls! =)
