| - Welcome to (insert own adjective for mediocre)Town!
I know... you think I'm being a jerk, but if you're selling flavor... people are gonna expect a lot of it! I tend to be mostly unbiased, and after having read the NY Times' review of Guy Fieri's Times Square restaurant, I kept my expectations realistic and thought of it more as FlavorHouse instead of FlavorTown.
This place is overhyped on the flavor thing... it's comparable to Chili's with food quality that is partially better.
Atmosphere 5/5- Cute place with a farm-to-table type of look, and the waitresses have great outfits. Hostess stand has massive bottleneck entry. Note: no bathroom inside, but there is just a few steps down around the corner in the Linq.
Service 3.5/5- Nothing memorable, whether good or bad.
Burgers 3/5- Dryyyyyy burgers. But damn! Great buns here. Slightly sweet in flavor. If nothing else, Guy has great buns... Never thought those words would come outta my mouth. Portions are substantial and come with fries. $17-20
Caesar salad 4/5- They hollow out a huge, dry crouton for a massive Caesar salad. The dressing is homemade and tastes nice. If croutons were girls in a Vegas club, they'd be a 23 year old in a black dress limping in heels... in other words, not memorable or particularly sexy. $15
Brunch here looked appealing and in large portions. I would be hard pressed to come here instead of go to Hash House a Go Go for breakfast/brunch, though.
For strip food pricing, I would say it's good, not great. Typical bar food done decently with a celebrity stamp on it... It's consolidated its punch to a FlavorHouse, not FlavorTown :)
