Diner Reviews

"My granddaughter and I enjoyed the food atmosphere and the restaurant."
Dined on 2/27/2014
"food was bland, fries were soggy, service was incredibly slow on a slow evening. Although listed as participating in kids night on broadway they only offered kids meal even though kids night is for up to 17 year olds. Big disappointment as others make that clear on their website. Drew us in and then underwhelmed at full price. Never again. too many other better choices in times square to ever go back."

"Took my four teens to lunch at Guy's. We had a great server and the food was fantastic. Fun twists on American classics and there was something for all tastes. Highly recommend the baked mac and cheese with bacon, chicken chunks and goldfish crackers! Also priced resonably and food was served quickly."

"Excellent food, great drinks, excellent friendly service! A site to see and a must stop by for a great bite to eat! A little piece of home in time square, laid back relaxing environment with great people. And a lot of music and Chevrolet history on the walls."

"Although the service was excellent , the food was mediocre at best. The ahi tuna was very fishy and the hamburgers, though we ordered them medium, were so well done that they were inedible. The ribs were very good as was the nacho. The waitress was most apologetic and the manager did remove the items from the bill. Since we were going to the theater, we had no time to reorder and several of us left hungry. ,"

"Dined with family on a trip to NYC. The restaurant was half full so it was comfortable. The food was good, normal huge U.S portions. Service was friendly, the waitress gave advise on the menu. The only small complaint which didn't spoil things was the mains were brought to the table when we were still eating starters. I asked the waiter to take them back until we were ready, he looked confused, maybe it's a U.S thing but I eat one plate of food at a time! The evening was great, the bill was the most expensive on our stay and John's pizza on the same street was better."

"I was looking for a place to go with my kids for KNOB. Since Guy's was offering a free entree for kids with each adult we decided to try it and we all thoroughly enjoyed our food selections. The Filet Diane was awesome! Kids loved the brownie bits sundae. I would definitely go back"

"The food was amazing and the service was impeccable"

"Went here for a quick pre-theater dinner in February. I made a reservation for 4 and my husband and I were the first to arrive. The hostess said that they would not seat us until our entire party was present; meanwhile the majority of the large dining room was completely empty. We opted to get a high table in the bar area at the front of the restaurant (aka near the cold entrance) as opposed to waiting to sit in the dining room, since we were on a short timetable. Thought that it was ridiculous for the hostess to adhere to this policy when the restaurant was clearly empty."

"We wanted to try a restaurant in the area of time square, and enjoy a few drinks as well. We wanted an atmosphere wher you could chat openly and laugh as well. This place had it all and our meal was fast as well, our only wish was that it was hotter. Overall the food was tasty, our servers were excellent and the beer plenty. We wanted to try a restaurant that had a chef name on it that was familiar. As a watcher of the food network regularly Guy's name and face are frequent. We enjoy Diners,drive ins and dives as a show and therefore felt we would be safe for some good food and decent prices at Guy's kitchen restaurant and bar."

"I took my 12 year old daughter here for dinner while we were visiting NYC. I was hoping it wouldn't feel too tourist-y, and I was not disappointed! The restaurant was spacious and quiet with great music playing. Service was fantastic and the food....the food was amazing. The bacon-chicken Mac n Cheese is a must try. And the cheesecake was some of the best I've ever had! Hands down one of the highlights of our trip!"

"Typical Guy Fieri place, lots of mayo on everything. The food is fine but nothing I would rave about. I doubt I would go back. Service was good."
Dined on 2/17/2014
"Everything about this place was amazing. From the moment we got there, everything went smooth. Had a reservation for 6:45 but was late and arrived at 7. The hostess was nice and seated us right away. Our waiter was quick, friendly, and well mannered. Our food was AMAZING. Ordered the wings as an appetizer. Just pure deliciousness. For entrees, we ordered the ribs and chipotle chicken. Both were delicious and well cooked. The portions are incredibly big which is a delight surprise. The price is actually relatively low when considering it's right in the middle of Times Square and a restaurant of a celebrity chef. All in all, 10 out of 10."
Dined on 2/21/2014
"Most of the food did not taste like food. It was too much of just things on top of other things so the result was a lot of taste but nothing enjoyable. We really wanted to like this. We were in a good mood and we usually like restaurants. The servers had a vibe of apologizing for the food, especially the Vegas Fries. As a UNLV alum and DDD fan, I wanted to love it."

"Enjoyed dining here but believe the good could have been better. Loved the calamari appetizer. It was my son's and My favorite part of the meal. Service was awesome."

"I selected this restaurant because it was near the Helen Hayes Theater. What a gem. The food was awesome, best steak in years! Quick service got us to the show early!"
Dined on 2/18/2014
"Considering how much fun Guy has on his show and the great places he showcases, i was expecting more from his namesake restaurant. The food and service were OK but nothing special. Despite a one hour wait for tables with no reservation , the place was by no means full and many staff were standing around chatting to each other. I would recommend the tuna tacos as an appetizer and the ribs were good. Otherwise consider one of the many other options in Times Square."

"The food was good for the most part. The bourbon wings left a lot to be desired. They were not bad, but they were not memorable. Seafood chowder special of the day was delicious. Bacon mac and cheese was awesome but super filling. My sister has celiac, so gluten-free is not just a fad for her. There were really not that many good options. They were out of gluten-free buns for the burgers. The only GF side was salad. Disappointing for a place that has gluten-free beer."

"We love Diners, drive ins and dives, so this visit was a must. The service was excellent the food was amazing and the prices were very reasonable, you must give this one a try!!!"

"I really enjoyed my dining experience. I had the wings and the shrimp po boy sandwich. I thought they were excellent. The staff could have been a little more friendly. I really liked the atmosphere."
Dined on 2/17/2014
"A glorified TGIF with poor service. Not friendly staff, Guy F. should be embarrassed if this is how his "brand" is being represented. I don't think I want to watch him on tv anymore. Only thing that I really enjoyed was the Mac And cheese my daughter didn't want and when we walked downstairs and saw the kitchen staff, they were friendly and great. I guess that is what you get for eating in Times Square, they think tourists don't know any better. I'm a NYC resident and will never be back."
Dined on 2/16/2014
"We've eaten at Guy's Times Square restaurant before and have been very happy, but this time we went for Valentine's Day and were pleasantly surprised by a special couple's option which included three courses and a bottle a champagne for an incredibly discounted price! Our waitress was very good too, in the past we've asked for express service, in order to make a show time, with no problems. We'll keep going back. Try the Mac&Cheese!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"Make sure you make reservations! There was a long wait to people walking up and checking in, but I had made reservations a month in advance and we just walked straight in. The food is great, but the service is even better, we got free drinks because the bar accidentally made another round, on the house!"

"My family had a reseravtion at another restaurant downtown and while waiting for our table, we realized we were not feeling the over crowded tables and were not going to be able to relax and eat our meal. We jumped on Open Table and were lucky enough to score a table at Guy's. We had been there 2 time before and loved it. Once again, we were happy with our meal. Our waiter was very nice, but a little scattered. This would not keep me from returning though!"
Dined on 2/16/2014
"The host stand needs all new recruits. They were rude and condescending to every guest that walked in or inquired anything of them. I watched as guests walked away and they would talk poorly of patrons amongst themselves as if no one were around. Our server (tall guy with dark hair; apologies the name escapes me) on the other hand was excellent but it did not make up for what I witnessed up front. The food was average. Think TGI Fridays with a higher prices. I do not believe Guy did much more than put his name on it..."

"Restaurant has very cool atmosphere, modern decor, and was neat and clean. Larger than you would expect for its location. Service was excellent, very friendly and attentive waiter. Food and drink prices are on the higher end for what you get, but that's expected in NYC. Portion sizes were good, however, bread on the "Big Dipper" sandwich was a little dry for my liking. Overall good experience, would definitely recommend to anyone interested in eating at celebrity restaurants."

"I was really excited to try out Guys restaurant. I'm a big fan of triple D so I was looking forward to some unique dishes. Service was lacking at first, but got worse the longer we were there which was surprising because the place was nearly empty. Food was mediocre at best. Very Disappointing."
Dined on 2/15/2014
"Made reservations through open table for Valentine's Day. After reading some bad reviews about this restaurant I was a bit weary about going, but it turned out a lot better than what people said. At first the place looked small, but got seated downstairs. Downstairs was pretty spacious and you can have a conversation without having to yell. The service was professional and prompt. For appetizers, we had the calamari, which was excellent. We also had the rosemary chicken and the huli huli chicken. Both dishes were ok. Overall, the restaurant is a good find."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"Everything we ordered was so delicious ...I want to go back like right now! Valentine's day was amazing because guys american was my choice. Thank you!"

"We visited from the UK for my brothers birthday. We were seated and served drinks quickly . We ordered and were served our starters almost immediately . The appetisers were very nice, egg rolls,chicken wings and nachos, and they were huge portions. But then our mains arrived half way through eating our appetisers !!!!!!. The guy looked at us,put them on the table,and walked off?. We did not order desert due to being too full with the large portions served. The restaurant is listed on the dine4less website as being one that gives 15% discount to card holders. Our server took our card and returned to say they did not accept the card?. I have since emailed the restaurant twice to query this but as yet have not received a reply."

"Usually when you go to this type of resturants that involve a tv personality it's very expensive and the food us a lot to be desired. Here it's nothing like that. Reasonable priced even for broadway. Portions was nice pleasant staff and ok on the wallet. Would defiantly come again next time in new york."
Dined on 2/10/2014
"This visit to the resturant was to celebrate a birthday. My love one loves Guy show. I made reservations and even called make sure we get a nice booth for our dinner. Well we get there and get no booth. We get seated by the bathroom. Then there is this ugly brown paper covering the table. Then we had the rudest, nastiest, unconsciencous waitress (Naomi). If you get her, don't ask her for too much because my date and I overheard her speaking disrespectfully about waiting on another table to another waiter. She never asked us if we were ok or needed anything. Walked by us 20 times before taking our dinner order. The food..COLD AND DISAPPOINTING! DONT GO! Many great places in NYC. This isn't the one... On so many levels!"
Dined on 2/8/2014
"Thought it would be a rare treat being a fan of Guy and his shows. Menu was limited, food just ok. Calamari very good, chicken salad diminished by bread, and pork osso bucco very dry. Had to make a show or would have sent food back"
Dined on 2/8/2014
"Guy's American kitchen on your website. Upon arriving the place just had energy! We went down stairs where we we greeted by a great staff. The menu had just enough to choose from and I still had a hard time choosing. I went with the BBQ Buffalo meatloaf over garlic mashed potatos. Very good. My husband chose the NY strip steak. he enjoyed it. We both said that there where things on the menu we wanted to try so it looks like we'll be going back to Guy's :) The ribs looked very good (the girl next to me ordered them). The Rosemary Garlic chicken is also on the list of things we want to try. Prices where not bad for NYC and the staff was very pleasant. The decor is nice and the bathrooms are nice and clean."

"We were looking for a place close to the theater we were going to later on that evening, and I just happened to pick Guy's American. I'm glad I did...the food was pretty good, and the service was excellent."
Dined on 2/7/2014
"While visiting NY and already had eaten at some of the finest restaurants, I could not pass up Guy's American Kitchen. Food was just what I expected from Guy. This is a must have for casual dinning and great food."
Dined on 2/7/2014
"I Watch triple D, I love the restaurants that guy visits, but sadly his own restaurant doesn't come close. There was nothing good about the American kitchen, the food was bland and surprisingly pretty boring. The atmosphere was bad! The place was half empty at 8 pm on a Friday night, it must be the quietest restaurant in NY!"
Dined on 2/7/2014
"The good was great. We has 3 girls with us ranging from 8 to 12 and each one loved their meal. My only complaint is the buttermilk dressing I had on my salad did not have a lot of flavor was very bland. We loved the atmosphere and the girls were given crayons and were able to draw on the tablecloth which kept them entertaining themselves. Loved the location! We were staying at the Marriott Marquee so it was a 2 minute walk and the theatre was right across the street."
Dined on 2/7/2014
"Unfortunately it didn't start well as no one at front desk for awhile to seat us. Although there was abundance of workers standing around but couldn't help. Another bad sign the restsurant was pretty much completely empty although a Friday evening in a very busy theater District. The appetizer bourbon wings were actually very good but the rest of the meals were not. Also quite odd the waitress advised us not o order the fried icecream when ordering desert bc it was good. Odd for staff to gear people away from food! My husband decided not to order desert and I ordered the cheesecake but it had no taste must have been refrigerated for way too long. Wouldn't go back and it see why it was empty."
Dined on 2/7/2014
"Ate here twice in January 2013 and had great food and service. A year later, the quality seems to have suffered and the staff were nowhere near as attentive. Disappointing and no longer somewhere I recommend."
