Guy Fieri’s American Kitchen - American (New) - 1905 Hotel Plaza Blvd., Disney World, Orlando, FL - Restaurant Reviews - Yelp
Here are some more recent reviews from the Orlando location.
"It’s funny that Fieri, who has now licensed his name to everything from sugary barbecue sauces to brownie-themed K-cups, is now asking fans to “be realistic.” By saying he’s just the chef who writes recipes and has no command over the actual cooks in the kitchen — the ones presumably responsible for all that bad food — Fieri’s adding a rare, party-pooper note to his perpetually festive enterprise. It’s kind of strange." (grub-street review/interview)
While I wish any new venture to success..... Let's keep things in perspective that this is not exactly the Holy Grail of restaurants and I, for one, am not getting my hopes up...
It is not likely a poorly rated tourist chain restaurant, akin to an overpriced Chili's, is going to change the dining landscape of The Villages. If New York City and Orlando get such poor reviews, with their bottomless labors pools and resources, how do you think it will do here?
The truth is, this venture will be the same management, cooks, servers, bartenders, food, and service as we have always had, now with an inflated price tag because the owners are paying The Villages rent rates AND a celebrity endorsement. Like Guy said in the above interview, he just writes and sells the recipes and sells his name.. Not involved in executing the dishes and service to success...
More will be revealed
