| - I swear, it was like foreshadowing when I walked up to the front and there was no wait to be seated. The restaurant was very empty. This should've been my cue to step back out of the restaurant and eat elsewhere, but I really wanted to give Guy Fieri's restaurant in Vegas a chance. I was asked if I wanted to be seated at the bar or a table. I decided on the bar since I didn't want to take up a whole table when I was eating alone.
The girl behind the bar was knowledgeable when it came to what the cooks were capable of doing and what dishes did and did not contain gluten. At first, I wanted to try The Original Ringer Burger and substitute the bun with gluten free buns for an extra cost. However, I was told that Guy's signature Bourbon brown sugar BBQ sauce contained gluten. She said I could leave the sauce out. I said that I really wanted to try Fieri's food and that taking out the BBQ sauce would alter the burger too much. I then decided on the Tatted-Up Turkey Burger which looked fairly safe based on the ingredients mentioned in the menu. This was when I was told by the bartender that the turkey patty is made with breading throughout. She then recommended the Bacon Mac-N-Cheese Burger which threw me off a little because Mac-N-Cheese is straight up all gluten! I finally just decided on the Mayor Of Flavortown Burger since that one would be the easiest to alter.
The Mayor Of Flavortown Burger ($20.50) came with USDA choice ground beef patty, seasoned pastrami, Swiss cheese, caraway seed slaw, dill pickles, sliced tomatoes, onion straws, Dijon mustard, and the bun which I substituted with gluten free buns. All of the burgers come with quad fries.
Just an FYI for the gluten sensitive folks out there, this joint does offer gluten free buns, but there is a very high chance of cross contamination in the kitchen since the fryer is used for both gluten and gluten-free foods. The staff is very open and honest about this.
Ok, back to the food. When the food came out, the burger was humongous and looked just like something that Guy Fieri would eat that would induce a myocardial infarction. The burger screamed Guy Fieri and it looked pretty good actually presentation wise. The main problem was when I bit into it and the burger had no flavor and was super dry! What the hell?!? I was shocked especially since the burger was greasy. I figured it was at least somewhat moist on the inside. Nope! The burger in general was nothing special either. It was very disappointing since I was super hungry. The fries tasted like your everyday fries, nothing special.
Guy Fieri seriously needs to continue doing what he does best and that is eating other people's food. He needs to stay out of the kitchen as a chef because his food sucks!
I only gave two stars just because the bartender was somewhat knowledgeable about gluten free options at the restaurant, and she provided average customer service. Other than that, the food is way overpriced for being not good and you have way better food options out on the strip! Don't be dumb like me and spend $30 (fees for alteration + tip) on a shitty Burger. In-N-Out is way better and cheaper.
