Diner Reviews

"We loved very second of this experience. We had the garlic French fries, macaroni & cheese with chicken and pulled pork sliders --- all of the food was exceptional but the Mac n cheese was so good we ordered a to-go ordered and brought it home so out family could try it!!"

"Very good place to bring your family after a day of sightseeing. Fun, good food, reasonably priced and convenient location. Service was great from the host to the waitstaff..although the busboys were a bit over zealous and removed a couple of plates that still had some appetizers on them."
Dined on 7/19/2014
"We chose this place because of its desirable location to theaters. Arrived early for our reservation, so we sat in the bar for a drink. There was quite a variety on the drink menu. Nice appetizer and entree selections. The service was alittle slow but other than that, it was a very pleasant dining experience."

"Guy's American Kitchen is located in the heart of the theatre district. It's a great location if you plan on walking to an 8:00 p.m. performance. It is family friendly and has some unique cocktails. The food is good. We loved the garlic fries. The atmosphere was similar to a Hard Rock, very masculine. Our wait staff was above average."

"This was THE BEST roasted chicken I have ever had! It was so juicy and delicious, I savored every bite and made sure to get every last bit off the bone, so fabulous! We got seated right at our reservation time, the staff was very courteous, the waitress was very friendly and the food was so good. I have already told friends to try it out!"

"We enjoyed our dining experience there very much. I had the shrimp po' boy, which was wonderful! My boyfriend had a burger, and my son, had another sandwich, that I can't remember the name, but he ate every bite, and said it was delicious. The calamari we shared for an appetizer was FAST, and perfect with lemon and the spicy garlic/oil dip... that was good. The waitress was friendly, and attentive. The drinks that I had were delicious -- get the Crazy Cab Driver. We got there earlier than our reservation and they seated us right away, and the service was excellent. We would definitely eat there again. The only problem that I had was that they were out of the Guy hooded sweatshirt I wanted in my size."

"My daughter, granddaughter and I enjoyed lunch before seeing a Broadway show. Guy's is right across the street from several theaters. The food was great and so was the service. My gluten-free dairy-free diet was easily accomodated in a delicious flavorful way."
Dined on 7/13/2014
"Food was okay, but not really worth the price. Hamburger was decent; pretzel chicken fingers were very average. Service was slow but got the job done. Best I can describe the restaurant? An over-priced Applebee's with a great location."
Dined on 7/12/2014
"The meatloaf and chicken Waldorf salad were both excellent. We had a group of 5 and we all split the chicken bacon mac n cheese and could not stop raving about it. Our waiter was courteous and well informed on all the dishes. We definitely will be going back"
Dined on 7/12/2014
"We shared the Mac and cheese with chicken and the pretzel chicken tenders. The Mac and cheese was amazing and we would definitely get it again. The chicken tenders were dry and tasted like something you would get with a kids meal...edible, but nothing remarkable. The service was ok; we never got drink refills, but that seems to be typical of New York restaurants."

"Although I am a huge fan of guy On the food network, service do not match my expectations. Food was good. I would certainly try another one of his restaurants."

"Good spot on Broadway for tasty American food and microbrews. Great stop after a show for dessert and drinks"
Dined on 7/11/2014
"It's Times Square so you have to take everything with a grain of salt but the check-in to get a table was crazy. Very harried staff, large groups waiting, but lots of empty tables. Kind of confusing. The building itself and artwork is cool. The menu was ok. Our server was fairly hands-off and unenthusiastic about everything. Once we put in our orders the food came very quickly, but we had to wait a few minutes for silverware :) The food wasn't very good unfortunately -- Guy has a tendency to add something sweet to every dish. I got the volcano chicken which was chicken breasts and mashed potatoes slathered in a sweet sauce and stale fried onions on top. Very uneventful. I did LOVE my jalapeño margarita tho :) Would not return. Sorry Guy."

"Great location and good atmosphere, and good for a quick burger before a Broadway show, but unfortunately, most of the food is of poor quality and the service is average at best. Disappointing for a restaurant with Guy's name on it."
Dined on 7/10/2014
"Guy's location is very convenient for taking a break from sight seeing or pre-theater, but if I wasn't right in the neighborhood, I would rush to come back. The food was just ok. The service was also. Even though we told the waiter when we sat down that we had theater tickets with a 7:00 curtain (our reservation was for 5:00) we didn't get out of there until 6:45. We waited a long time between courses, and a long time for the check. Drink refills were also a challenge. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great."

"We enjoyed the rotisserie chicken and rib dinners. Gluten free option....chicken....was great! Guy delivered to the quality we expected!"

"Outstanding meal. Flavor of both of our meals were great. Hulu Hulu chicken for me and bacon wrapped shrimp for my wife. Loved it."

"I was very excited to dine at Guys while visiting New York ; however, it was a BIG let down. I ordered the "Filet" mignon medalions 10 oz and mashed potatoes-$31.00. The cut of meat WAS NOT Filet Mignon. It was very grainy and tough. The tables are so close together you can not carry on a conversation with whom every you are with unless you scream like everyone else is doing. Very loud. Would NOT recommend this place."
Dined on 7/7/2014
"Guys American Kitchen is located near Broadway so it is a great place before the theater. The food is delicious and there is a variety of choices from sandwiches to main entrees. The group I was with especially enjoyed the selections of grilled chicken and the shrimp poor boy.The tropical punch drink has a real kick and goes down easy. I fun night for everyone!"
Dined on 7/7/2014
"Food was the best part! They brought me a dirty dish in the beginning, which happens. The staff, with the exception of the host, needs more training as I was blatantly ignored twice and almost brought the wrong food. Other than a few bumps in the road, place is beautiful, food is amazing, and I would still and can't wait to go back!! And by the way, as far as dress code goes, it's perfectly acceptable to wear jeans and sneakers. But you won't want to because the place is really cool right by Times Square in the Resturant/Theater district. BUON Appetite!"

"To start, the service was not great. My review almost said poor. We waited to be greeted, waited almost 10 minutes for sodas and had to hear the drama of the server (who struggled with the few tables he had). We ordered an appetizer and salad to come out at the same time. They did not (the restaurant did not charge us for the salad due to the error). The steak salad was bland, simply bland. The steak had no flavor, the beans were dry and the lettuce tasted like it came from a bag. Of note: the pork tacos were good, bordering on great. It was sad. I have been to Johnny Garlic's several times. Great food. This restaurant is a block off Time Square, it was 9pm at night and the place had SEVERAL open tables. Hate to see that."

"The Tuna Taco by far was the best!! We had a party of 5, so we sampled each other's dish. The Tuna was everyone's favorite. 2nd place was the mac and cheese. Rich but delicious. Others liked the meatloaf. The ribs were the least favorite. Beer and cocktails were normal for NYC. We made our reservation the day before and arrived a littel early. After a short wait they seated us upstairs in a room that had only 2 other tables occupied. The room was major cold and loud. We asked the server to please turn the speakers down since it was basically just a few of us in the room and nobody was really watching the tv."

"A wonderful place with excellent food and fabulous service. Ate here before seeing a Broadway show. The Pulled Pork sliders were outstanding. Paul our waiter was kind and friendly and provided excellent service. And the Triple Double Pie was a thing of beauty. Definitely two thumbs up!"

"While we were taking a break in our hotel room I flipped through our hotel room book and found this place. We love guys recipes so decided to give it a try. Yum... everything was delicious."

"This was a great, family friendly restaurant which I would dine at again! The Motley Que Ribs were outstanding and the GM is a jewel! She was Very hospitable with us "out of towners". (Our server samone, however, didn't offer good service, so again the GM was receptive to our feedback and ensured it would be addressed)."

"Great food. Unique food options, the pork shank was awesome. Chicken, bacon, Mac n cheese was unbelievable. Waiter was great!"

"We had an early dinner after a matinee. The service was good and the wine selection by the glass was better than usual. When the food came we were very pleased with our selections. The flavors were great and selections were on the healthier side for us. My only critique would be the tuna was called sushi grade. It was good, but not that dark red sushi like tuna."
Dined on 7/2/2014
"Food and wine is pricey, but typical f or Times Square area. Food is nothing to write home about - portions are huge - definitely recommend sharing. Nothing outstanding."

"My wife and I went to Guy's before a show on a Wesnesday night. We made reservations and were seated at a table next to a doorway. We asked to be reseated away from the thoroughfare and our request was met without incident. After our great-tasting pulled pork taco app, we were looking forward to our entrees: The Chinatown Chicken Crunch and the Roasted Rotisserie Rosemarie-Garlic Chicken. My wife's chicken was dry, but the potatoes were excellent. I happened upon two pieces of plastic in my salad. The first I bit down on and the second I saw before I chewed. We called our waitress and she got the manager and the meal was comped, so they took care of us, but it was still disappointing."

"My daughters and I went into NYC for lunch and a play on broadway (a Mother's Day Gift) and chose Guy's because we didn't want to much food but enough to satisfy our appetites before the show. The menu had great choices, and we were very happy, since each of us had different cravings! The Chicken pasta dish was delicious and a good portion. As was the salads. Everything was outstanding The host was very pleasant. And the waitstaff attentive."
Dined on 7/2/2014
"For someone who goes into New York once every two years or so for a mother/daughter day, Guy's provides name recognition with great food. The pretzel chicken appetizer with horseradish sauce set just the right tone for a festive lunch of a Shrimp Po'boy sandwich and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. Service was attentive without hovering, and the dessert recommendation hit the spot. All in all a very pleasant, relaxing, and tasty "before the show" lunch."

"One has to have ecpectations with Guy Fieri of Triple D. This place barely made average and therefore was a severe dissappointment. Best feature is location. If you are going to a Broadway show It is just steps from most theaters. But the service, food and ambience are all lackluster. It started with the hostess. We were ignored and had to ask to be helped. Then she led us to several different tables as though she had no idea where to seat us. After we were seated we were ignored for a good five minutes. No water, no nothing. When our waitress did show she was abrupt, unfriendly and unhelpful. Buffalo meatloaf was like cafeteria food over packaged mashed. Bread pudding was heavy. Cookie pizza was hard and chewy. No reason to return."

"The food and service were excellent! We couldn't have had a better dining experience. Wish we found Guy's earlier in our visit."

"I had higher expectations for this restaurant. The service was great but the food was just average. It was a bit over prices for what it was."
