Hooters - Saginaw, Michigan
The bar food was killing it, but the ranch was killing the vibe. Tastes store-bought, smells criminal, and brings nothing to the table. When your kitchen is putting out food this good, your ranch should rise to the occasion. It’s 2025, at this point, bad ranch is just lazy. Do better, Hooters. We deserve nice things.

This one’s a hard pass. The only thing saving it from a full-on Nope is that it didn’t actively ruin my day; it just mildly offended my taste buds and let me down. It’s giving Gordon Food Service energy, like someone cracked open a bulk jug, poured it into a ramekin, and sent it out without a second thought. No zhuzh, no love, just straight from shelf to sad. I'm not mad at you, Hooters, I'm disappointed.
And here’s the real heartbreak: the food was great! Truly some top-tier bar food, those onion rings? Crispy, flavorful, absolutely in their golden era. When your food is hitting that hard, you owe it to the people to serve a ranch that can keep up. It’s 2025. Restaurants know ranch matters, and if you didn't, you do now!
The consistency was serviceable. Typical of bottled ranch, nothing offensive, texture-wise. But the taste? Straight-up sour, no depth, no balance. Preservatives? Bad vibes? I don’t know what caused it, but the flavor was flat and the smell was…f'n rude.
TL;DR: The bar food was killing it, but the ranch was killing the vibe. Tastes store-bought, smells criminal, and brings nothing to the table. When your kitchen is putting out food this good, your ranch should rise to the occasion. It’s 2025—at this point, bad ranch is just lazy. Do better, Hooters. We deserve nice things.
