Great food, atmosphere, great service and excellent prices. With food being so expensive lately this place has awesome prices for the quality of the food. I got eggs with strip steak and it was excellent.

Stopped in for their Thursday night menu after seeing so much about it. We had the jambalia and strip steak with steamed clams. Everything was so good! Especially the stuffed mushrooms with crab. Brandon was smooth and on point and kept the entire place running smoothly. And finally, they upgraded their seats!! Bravo!

Great bar and tavern. We had breakfast which had large portions and was very reasonably priced. The waiter was nice and the service was good. Definitely stop by for food or drinks.

This is not the Hoots you knew. Stop in and check out the amazing transformation these guys did with this place. Very good bar menu with new items in the works. Very reasonable beer, and a very clean and friendly place to visit after work or a day on the river.

We've been to Hootz twice for dinner and drinks and both times haves been great. The drinks are good, the food is excellent, and the vibe is on point.We have had cheesesteaks and burgers and both were better than expected!I wish it were closer to my house so we could go more often!!

Phenomenal place on the river!! Everything about this place is great. From the food, service, music, view, outdoor seating, and ambiance.The fries here are some of the best I've ever had. My chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious and the sauteed pierogi's were perfect. Really friendly staff too.Will definitely be back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Hootz is the perfect bar to feel at home and have an amazing time with your friends. The bartenders, the people and the location are fantastic! The owners did an incredible job bringing this old bar back to life. Nothing was missed in restoring this building back to life. Order up some food and have a drink overlooking the river. I went with friends and keep coming back to some good food, good drinks and good times! Highly recommended!!!
