| - This location used to be a KFC, I went there one day and they were closed. Drove by sometime later and saw they were putting a Guthrie's in, never heard of it.
I was working in the area and I like to try new places, gives me something to yelp about, so I went to try Guthrie's.
Think Raising Cane's, without the logos, they would be hard to differentiate.
Chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw and toast, that's the menu. Actually, they also had pies and salads and the fingers could be on a bun for a sandwich.
The differences between Guthrie's and Cane's:
The chicken fingers are available fried or grilled. There are more sauce choices than the signature sauce, ranch, buffalo, etc..
The fingers were good (a little small), fries were alright, the toast was excellent, coleslaw (I don't like coleslaw, so I'm not one to judge)
The counter girl was smiling, charming and friendly (I added a star for that) . Much better customer service than the Cane's at Decatur and Charleston.
The food, since the only comparison is Canes, it's a coin toss, not enough difference to choose one over the other. Pick the one that's closest. (in Vegas that would probably put you at Cane's, since Guthrie's only has one location here)
All in all, I would go there again, if I'm in the area and in the mood for fingers.
That's the double-edged sword of specialty restaurants, they make one thing, so they should be good at it. Ex. In and Out, they only make burgers, they are good at it. Guthrie's make chicken fingers, they are good at it. But, if you're with a group of people in the mood for different things, it doesn't work.
