Mike R. writes: The eco-babble / green wash they have is pretty deep.

Westminster, CO 80030

Brandon H. writes: I'd say the one thing that separates this Hooter's from any other I've been to is that we actually had a pregnant waitress the first time we went.  Now I know that being pregnant is an automatic cup++ for women, but still that was pretty bizarre.  I…
