Guy Fieri's, Part Deux
 
I'm surprised the culinary critics weren't all over the July 6 Daily Sun article about the restaurant that many "love to hate."

Guy Fieri's is now offering:
  • Sunday brunch
  • Lower prices on favorite meals
  • New daily lunch specials
  • New menu items
  • Lower drink prices

Triple D has been going so long he is now revisiting restaurants he already went to haha! I feel like with his restaurant closings in California that Guy's shelf life might be getting a bit stale. I mean when you have Dennis Miller on how could you go any higher.

Went there twice never again-- total tourist trap/ amateur hour

Sounds like they tried to gouge their prices and are now backing off to lower prices because less than expected results.

It was ok, only 10 people in the place in May. Menu needed an up grade

Spicy and greasy. Everyone wants gourmet options I would like to see some healthy options.

There is one of his restaurants at the Cozumel Airport. Made the prices at the villages one look like Mickey D's. Never been in either and don't plan to.

Most people are trying to succeed at business. I haven't been to Guy Fieri's, so I can't comment on their food. It is good to see that they realize what the local population is looking to spend on food in restaurants and have adjusted their prices. As always the market drives the prices.

Against my previous poor experiences, I decided to give another try to a restaurant with a famous chef's name attached...with the commiserate inflated prices. :oops:

I should have known better and can't see how Fieri's...will last another 18 months. :shrug:

Its a great format for millennial living in their parent's basements, who want a cheap place to meet others in the same boat

Doesn't fit in ,in a retirement community--cute schtick doesn't work
