One area of the restaurant industry seems to be immune from slumping sales, proving once more that sex sells. breastaurants are well-known for their scantily-clad servers. Booty shorts, a micro-miniskirt, and a tank top with a low cut seem like standard uniforms. They’re experiencing double-digit (or digit) growth compared to last year.
Many brands attribute the increased interest to their products not to the skin displayed, at least not completely, but to the fact that they are focusing on providing better and more artisanal food. Everyone knows Hooters, the arguably originator of this trend. But here are some others you may not know–including one that caters to women.
This sports-lodge-meets-sexy-lumberjack-themed chain is one of the fastest-growing breastaurants in the country, up 20 percent over last year, according to food market research firm Technomic. Kristen Colby from the chain’s senior marketing director, said Huffington Post, “Men are simple creatures so you don’t need to get them into the door.”
Turkey Avocado Smash
The menu features high-end bar food like the Turkey Avocado Smash (shown), Venison Chili and Billionaire’s Bacon, thick-cut slabs made of pork covered in brown sugar, red chiliflakes, and smoked paprika.
Tilted Kilt wants to be the TGI Friday’s of Jack Daniel’s sauce. Though, truth be told, the place is probably best known for its Scottish-Highlander-meets-naughty-schoolgirl-esque uniforms. The company even has a FAQ page that explains how to get one. The FAQ page answers the question “How can I get one?”
Bikinis, a chain that avoids the term “breastaurant”, has adopted it, even trademarking it in 2012. Bikinis is technically the only breastaurant. The servers are usually dressed in bikini tops, often paired with jeans and cowboy boots.
There are many options for breastaurant favorites: wings, cheese steaks (cheese steaks), nachos, and – for some reason – fried pickles.
Ojos Locos
Proving there’s a theme to suit every taste, Bombshells features a military-esque vibe, you know, if your idea of the military is more of a Halloween-costume-meets-1940s-pin-up girl style. The menu includes classic sports bar favorites like wings, burgers and ranch-laden salads. But no fried pickles.
Tallywackers
The large platters of pulled pork, brisket, and hot link sausage take precedence over the Daisy Dukes and plunging necklines. The BBQ-focused chain offers many Southern classics like banana pudding, chicken-fried steak, and baked beans.

Heart Attack Grill
This Las Vegas restaurant is aware it’s not PC, and it owns it (uh-oh, its tagline says “Fighting Anorexia Since 2005”. The menu includes a variety of massive burgers that can block your coronary. It’s served up by waitresses dressed in nurse-like Halloween costumes.
WingHouse
This chain is essentially a Hooters but with black and red uniforms. You can get wing from mild to extreme (no, it’s not that, that’s the actual name), but there are also baby back ribs, shrimp and tacos.
