| - I admit it ... I'm a big Guy Fieri fan. I'll dispense with gushing over the celebrity chef, but suffice to say, Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen and Bar was high on my foodie to-do list. I have found that celebrity chef restaurants often fail to live up the hype of their larger than life owners. Not so here. It definitely delivered on the creativity, flavor and attitude of it's namesake chef.
My wife and I stopped in about 5pm on a Wednesday and was surprised to be seated immediately. As we were leaving, the line was already building, so I think you should generally expect a bit of a wait here.
Loved the atmosphere. Casual country with attitude. Our waiter made a splash with his enthusiasm right from the start, stating "I want you to do me a favor. Close your eyes and pick anything on the menu. If you don't like it, I would be happy to eat it." Now there is an enthusiastic endorsement!
We started with some cocktails -- my wife had a Guido's Freaky Tiki which was a fun twist on her favorite Mai Tai cocktail. Passion fruit purée really made this drink by giving it some interesting texture. I'm a hardcore old fashioned man, so I had to try the "not so old fashioned" which featured basil-infused apple syrup. This was one of the best old fashioned cocktails I've ever had. Totally anchored the evening for me.
On to the food. While our waiter said he would be happy to eat anything we didn't like, the real service would have been to help with our leftovers because the portions are HUGE. My wife had the Motley Que sandwich, which turned out to be amazing. Piles and piles of delicious, sweet barbecue on a big pretzel hoagie bun. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the sauce was crazy good. Being a burger fan, I had to go with the unique and award-winning Bacon Mac-n-Cheese burger. Loved this burger! It was a wonderfully crispy smashed patty stacked with lettuce, tomato, crispy bacon and creamy Mac and cheese. Combined with the regular cheese on the burger, this was ooey gooey deliciousness. It was all captured in a delicious garlic-buttered brioche bun. Absolutely perfect. But you know what stood up these sandwiches? The fries. Each came with a basket of fries -- a fun mix of waffle fries, potato sticks, and crinkles. The seasoning on them was both sweet and savory. Much like Red Robin seasoning, I may have to find this to buy for home.
Total for cocktails and a couple sandwiches was about $80, which is a little on the pricey side but I found it to be worth it for the fun attitude and unique, delicious food we received along with the great service. Can't wait to return and try other items on Guy's fantastic menu.
