Hooters Of Boston - Boston, MA

Hooters Of Boston - 6.8

Most people are familiar with Hooters as a delightfully tacky, yet unrefined chicken wing joint that happens to have waitresses who are well endowed in the upper torso region. There aren't a ton of these in the northeast, only three in Massachusetts. This Hooters restaurant (Hooters of Boston makes it sound classy, no?) is located at 222 Friend Street, between Haymarket and North Station.

Location: After entering the restaurant, the bathrooms are in the back right area of the restaurant. Once in the back right corner, there is a door leading to the restrooms. After going through the door, the men's room will be in front of you and the ladies room farther to the left.
Grade: 6 out of 10

Accessibility: It should be incredibly easy to get access to the bathroom here. Once you walk into the restaurant, you are told you can sit wherever you'd like. You can pretty much make a bee-line for the promise land.
Grade: 10 out of 10

Number of Stalls: They only have one stall, though there are two urinals. Would have liked to have seen the second stall as there is room for it.
Grade: 5 out of 10

Stall Quality: The stall was nothing to write home about. It is definitely spacious though the toilet is a bit far off the ground for someone who is of average height.
Grade: 4 out of 10


Toiler Paper: They have dispensers for two gigantic, industrial style rolls. One was empty, but the 2/3 full dispenser should carry them for a while. It was two ply, but not particularly soft.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Cleanliness: It was a pretty clean bathroom, some normal wear and tear. Garbage can was huge and easily accessible next to the sinks.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Scent: I didn't notice a particular scent in this bathroom, certainly nothing awful. There was an automatic air freshener, though I wasn't sure it was functional, not a big worry.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Flush: Flush was fine here, standard flush per gallon ratio. It got stronger after the first second or two.
Grade: 8 out of 10

Aesthetics: While the bathroom itself is not too attractive, there are a few amenities that are definite pluses. They we're playing some classic rock that was audible through out the bathroom, might help pass the time if you're stuck a while. As well, directly above the stall, there is a TV that is sometimes on for a sporting event or just on ESPN. Last but not least, the sports section of the newspaper is hung above the urinals and could potentially be snuck into the stall if no one is standing at the urinal. It helps make up for the cold feeling the bathroom otherwise has.
Grade: 7 out of 10

The Bottom Line: This should be a target if you're in need and in the area. Easy to get in and out, even though the bathroom is in the back. While there is only one stall, if it's free you can sing freebird while reading the sports section, even if you're a bit short and your feet don't quite reach the floor.
