In Short – Waitresses in shiny tan nylons and tight, orange, '70s track shorts serve up beer and pub grub at this proudly "tacky yet unrefined" sports bar-restaurant. Tables are packed with men of all ages, from high-powered suits to college guys in baseball caps. While salads, sandwiches and shellfish are on the menu, most folks order chicken wings--available in six levels of spice intensity, from mild to super-hot 911.

worst of the worst

by 310fan at Citysearch

i had heard rumor about the food being great so i decided to go with a couple buddies of mine. as we went we had a waitress by the name of emily ortega. (short, blonde hair) one of my buddies knew her because of a friend. rumor was that she had herpies and as she took our order i couldnt help but to stare at her cold sore she had all over her mouth it was disgusting... when we got our food it wasnt wat we expected, it was cold and the food didnt look good. ohh by the way we figured out that she also wore a double bra for the extra pushing. what a shame to have girls that dont fit the description.

Gotta Have Some Wings

by westlachopperguy at Citysearch

I like visit H**ters about once a month to get my wing fix. Plenty of sports on flat panel TVs so it's perfect for my Saturday and Sunday lunches. Located right by 3rd Street Promenade and plenty of location Santa Monica parking.

H**ters serves beer, by the bottle, glass or pitcher. Plate of 20 wings (medium) and a pitcher of beer and I'm a happy camper. I also like the burgers. Haven't eaten much else.

Also, for some reason the name of this business is considered "inappropriate" to mention in reviews. What's up with that?

Really fun atmosphere!!

by 1shelby at Citysearch

I love how active and alive this place is! Hot girls everywhere, dancing, laughing and having a great time! Sports on every TV, 6 or 7 girls come visit your table, cold beer, hot wings, and the best part: finally they have a FULL bar! Some food items are really good, some are just okay, but the environment and feel-good vibe make up for it. I'm telling all my friends!

Nothing good to say about it

by rudette at Citysearch

The food is just gross - make sure you're not hungry so you won't be forced to eat any of it. The place has a yucky smell and I'm sorry, but the waitresses are very unattractive. The one nice thing about it is there's always a lot of young people there (not sure why), so there's at least some guaranteed life in the place.

All talk and no action.

by rachel1215 at Citysearch

Sure you don't go for the food, but it has to be said--the food is horrible. They think they can get away with it, but its so bad and overpriced that they can't. This includes the buffalo wings--yes, I said it. Please, the "I go for the wings" excuse can't be used bc the wings seriously are not good.

As for the servers, they give justice to the phenomenon that is the push-up bra.

  • Pros: big tables for groups
  • Cons: cheesy atmosphere and the patrons to match it, overpriced, bad food
