| - I have been looking forward to trying Guys food for a long time and I finally got the chance on my recent Vegas Vacation. Located at the Linq Hotel and Casino the Restaurant has a pretty hip vibe and some damn fine looking waitresses. The place is pretty tightly crammed together so it if your looking for a romantic dinner go elsewhere, but if you like an exciting place and good people watching then this fits the bill.The food however was hit and miss. First off was the starter Triple T Fries. These were seriously good, as long as you like all things mushroom. Crispy and thin shoestring fries are topped with Black and White Shaved Truffles, Truffled Gouda Cheese and are served with Truffle Dip. The portion was huge but of course we finished them all.
Next up were the entrees. My Turkey Picnic Sandwich entrée was great, perhaps one of the better sandwiches I have had recently. Thick slices of moist roasted Turkey are topped with cranberry relish, melted Swiss, creamy coleslaw and (here's the kicker)...Crunchy BBQ Chips. Its all served between a sliced pretzel baguette slathered with Guys signature donkey sauce ( basically fancy thousand Island dressing). That's a lot of stuff stuffed into one sandwich but it all mixed great together and every level of flavor showed up in each bite. Also on the side of the sandwich were a mix of fries that were seasoned with BBQ spices. Not that I needed more fries but these were also excellent so I of course finished them. As good as my Sandwich was, I was very disappointed by my wife Simones, Smothered Chili Bowl entrée. A rather large bowl of chili arrived to the table topped with melted cheese, sour cream, scallions and a big hunk of cornbread and it looked impressive. However, once we moved the cornbread the bowl itself was barely half full with the actual chili. Then, after the first bite we both agreed that we have had better chili from the local Wendys. Someone took the wrong turn at Flavortown and ended up at the No Spice Nursing home. This was perhaps one of the blandest bowls of Chili I have had in recent memory. This was a disappointing end to an otherwise great meal. So at least in my experience I would say that depending on what you order you could walk away very happy or very letdown from Guy's. I would return again but stick to the sandwich menu.
