| - Guy Fieri isn't exactly the most refined of the Food Network lineup of stars, but you would at least expect something decent if it has the dude's name attached to it. I mean, I have yet to be disappointed by any of the restaurants featured on Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives that I've visited.
Well, so much for his namesake restaurant. Prices are in line with similar Vegas restaurants. That said, for the amount of money you're dropping, and the fact that the place carries a food celebrity endorsement, you'd expect a lot better quality food.
Had the bacon mac & cheese burger, and it's a fantastic burger in theory. Execution, however, left a crap-ton to be desired. The burger was dry (not moist & juicy) and clearly flat-top fried and not grilled. Then they serve it to you on this narrow wooden plank, which certainly looked cool. But when it's a big, messy, burger, the serving plate was utterly useless. The fried goodies it came with were also served in an odd manner -- wrapped in wax paper and suspended from an aluminum-wire thing. Super messy -- all form, no function.
Portions were, no surprise, massive. But when you consider the food was mediocre, it was just a plate full of blah. Ignore the Guy Fieri hype. No need to bother with this place.
