| - It hurts my heart to give Guy's restaurant a 3. It just didn't blow my mind as I thought it would.
First off, the menu is extensive and everything that Guy Fieri stands for. The menu even reads like Guy talks. Fries, loaded fries, wings, burgers, brisket, sandwiches, salads, dessert...it's a big menu. They also have breakfast as well. I would like to come back and try breakfast -- we came for lunch.
We started off with the Fireball Whisky Wings - they were an interesting flavor, you can definitely taste the Fireball, but they were a bit dry. The wasabi blue cheese that it comes with is delicious. Overall, not my favorite. I'd like to try the General Tso's next time as our neighbor table got them and enjoyed them a lot. The burgers sound ginormous, but they actually are very manageable, so don't be afraid. I got the Triple B Burger ($19 creole blackening spice, blue cheese, bacon,lettuce, tomato, onion, donkey sauce on a garlic-buttered brioche). Underwhelming in flavor - I wouldn't order it again. My girlfriends both got the Mac & Cheese Burger and they loved it.
The service was the pits. We were drawn in by the "Hangover Recovery- Build Your Own Bloody Mary" sign, as we really needed a recovery. When I asked our waitress if I could see the Bloody Mary menu, she said "pick a vodka and pick a spice level 1-5." We had no idea how much they cost and were disappointed because that didn't seem like "building" to me. I went on the website to look at the food menu to help jog my memory as I write this review, and, there is absolutely a menu for the build your own bloody mary (you choose a protein, you choose garnishes...I'm irritated).
I would go back, because it's Guy Fieri, and the menu is extensive so I would hope for better service and to try something else that I would enjoy more.
