| - Guy Fieri's was on my list for Vegas, but we didn't intend to come here. Fact was, this place was open during brunch time and didn't have an hour+ wait. And I also saw a platter of food go by and decided that we weren't going to wait a minute longer to dive right into that. So we came here.
So if you've ever seen Guy Fieri's shows, you'll associate the guy with indulgence: hearty portions, rich sauces, thick cuts of meat, deep fried goodness, etc. That is what I was expecting to eat when I came here. The menu is great at selling itself; everything sounds amazing. But the food was hit or miss.
Trash Can Brisket Nachos: these looked sad to me. These were not Guy Fieri's nachos. He would not eat these. He would tell them to put some toppings on there. The meat was strategically placed in one area and then nothing. Nacho cheese sauce was on five tortilla chips. Pico de gallo was just cut tomatoes, no onions, cilantro, or chilies. BBQ sauce was okay. $19 for something that was small compared to everything else I saw in the restaurant. Hard pass.
I got the Double-Barrel BBQ wings because I was trying to resist having yet another burger after having a crap burger the night before and looking forward to a dinner at Gordon Ramsay's BurGR later that evening. I done did wrong. I do appreciate that my wings were actually all drumettes, but this was a small portion. The sauce was good, but it wasn't lick-your-fingers good. The dipping sauce ran out super fast; this should definitely come with a larger serving of ranch. The presentation was awfully cute, but way too neat and pretty for what I expected. I wanted a platter of wings slathered in sauce that would leave my face, hands, and potentially shirt stained. Good, but not great. B rating.
Motley Que Sandwich. I was looking at this fucker for ages before deciding to be a schmuck and get the BBQ wings, and boy did I regret it when this beast landed in front of my friend. THIS SANDWICH IS WHAT GUY FIERI WOULD BE PROUD OF. What the fuck was I eating? Luckily my friend is a cool dude and let me have multiple bites of his sandwich. Incredible. Fuck the rest, get this. Also, MIXED FRIES. I love surprise curly fries! YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT, TOO.
Cheesecake Challenge: yes, my friend got cheesecake for brunch. The pictures make it seem huge, but it's smaller in person. Actual cheesecake part was very good, but I've definitely had better. The crust was stale. The chips were stale. The pretzels were stale. Major MEH moment. My friend was super disappointed with his choice, but at least he can say that he tried it. Between you and me, the Smores Monte Cristo looked AMAAAAZING, but nobody wanted to listen to me. Tsk tsk.
Service was a little sluggish, but overall decent. I got refills once and we got our bill after flagging our man down. He offered to split the check for us, which was awesome. But that's pretty much that.
I guess it really depends on whether or not you luck out with A) little to no wait, B) the right server, and C) the right food choice here. I could see myself having an awesome time here if only we had chosen better options. I'm looking at you, Motley Que!
