After 33 Years, A New Hooters Restaurant Comes To Pasco County

It’s been quite a few years, but now a new Hooters restaurant has arrived in Pasco County.

Back in 1988, a Hooters opened in Port Richey. This new addition is located at 16070 State Road 54 and Suncoast Crossings.

Hooters Management Corp. Chief Marketing Officer Denise Williams said, “We are excited for our Odessa Hooters location and look forward to becoming a favorite for avid bikers and runners on the Suncoast Trail and a go-to stop for those living and working in the heart of Pasco County.”

I love to see this, because not only do I love Hooters wings, but I love the brand. And I’m just happy to see a restaurant opening and employing people. They’ve hired about 60 workers to be a part of this store.

This is going to be the spot in Pasco to enjoy delicious Hooters food and you can watch a game on any of the 30 big-screen TVs inside and outside the restaurant. Plus, there is a 22-seat bar and also seating for an additional 124 patrons inside and 46 outside.

  They're a bit pricey. You'll pay about $20 for a burger, tots and a Coke. But their burgers are creative and top notch. The goat cheese burger is my usual.

• Big Stein’s Deli

  This monstrosity you see in the photo is the "Park Avenue" triple decker. Roast beef, turkey, Swiss cheese, cole slaw pilled high with Russian dressing.

• Mazzaros

  It gets no better than Mazzaros. The Hot Italian #20 sandwich is my must get. But they have fresh pasta, pastries, wines, cheeses and it's the only place you can find the blueberry soda from Maine I love.

  It's on 4th not far from the radio station. It's a healthier choice and I'm not known for healthy eating so you know it's good. Only strike against this place is the portion size is kind of small. But it's one of those places most go to eat healthy. I'm 6'4 and about 300 pounds so I'm probably not their usual customer.

  Their chicken parmesan is probably my favorite in all of Tampa Bay. It's so good that I probably visited 2 or 3 dozen times before I finally tried their pizza, which is fantastic too. But stick the NY style. The Sicilian pizza wasn't so great.

  I know it sounds crazy but seriously this Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich they served at Rays game could be the answer to the attendance problem.
• Red Mesa

  They usually serve a steak burrito for lunch that'll be your last meal of the day. Don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu here though.

  OK, I said I'm not a chain restaurant fan. However, the cinnamon roll pancakes are epic.
