Guy Fieri's American Kitchen Bar Cancún — Restaurant in Quintana Roo

Oh Guy, you wouldn't even stop here on DDD. The biggest selling point it seems is there is a patio people can smoke on and they can avoid going back out through security. Since covid we wipe down tables at a lot of places, this was no exception. I also wiped down the menus as there was visible food on them. The menu is limited in my opinion. And despite there being not many people there we decided to stop as we've visited a few DDD locations and have usually been pleased. This was our first time at a Guy branded joint. It was at best HORRIBLE. We got nachos without the pork as I didn't want a ton on meat. Not sure if the pork would have improved them, but 7 Eleven nachos may be better than ones we were served. I'm serious. The black refried beans were a liquid mess. Also they'd obviously sat for a bit as the shredded cheese on them ( there wasn't much, mostly liquid nachos cheese, think 7 eleven) had hardened and was cold by time we got them. We also got the chicken fingers and a side of fries. The fries are a mix of a few different fries and why they may think it's a good idea, here's why it wasn't for us, they didn't cook evenly, the only crisp ones were the Waffle fries as they had thinner parts, the rest were a bit soft and mushy, and again a but cold. The chicken tenders were what appeared to be a chicken breast pounded out until thin, this was promising as I personally don't love the chicken fingers you get that are super thick in some parts and thin in others. That's where the success ended. They were bland. Even salt added to coating may have helped. They tasted like they were dredged in panko and no other flavor. The sauces were ok but again all barely ok, and not hot. We got 2 diet pepsi (refillable) as they offered that for more money or can. We had to find them to get refills. I used to be a server so against my partners advice I still tipped a small amount. But the bill for one order of nachos, one order of fries, one order of chicken tenders, two diet Pepsi and two water with my roughly 10$ canadian tip came to a few cents under 200$ canadian, for garbage food. Disappointed. I love Guy. He wouldn't eat what we were served. Had fun music playing, and the smoking spot seemed a draw, but I dont smoke. Would...

So my wife just had to go to Guy Fieri's - talk about a "dive bar", and a RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED dive bar.

See photo of receipt (we are seat 2)

This place is a complete RIP OFF/SCAM/"theme" bar!! Not like he's capitalizing off his gazillionaire celebrity name, and we/I fell for it. First, you are getting ripped before you set foot in the place, the exchange rate offered by GF was 17 pesos to 1 USD. The actual exchange rate was slightly over 19 to 1 USD on the day we ate at the restaurant.

But . . . . the whole place is based on "you get to keep the glass" - by overpaying for everything else.

My Order: 10 Chicken Wings $459 pesos = $27.00 USD (Not a typo) for 10 wings, That's $2.70 USD for 1 wing not including tax/tip. The wings were warm, not hot - had little taste/flavor outside of BBQ sauce that you can literally find anywhere. 3 "Mrs. Paul's fish sticks" (because that's what they tasted like) $495 pesos = $29.12 USD (Again, not a typo that's $10 USD for one "fish finger") it was supposed to be "Grouper" perhaps that justifies the ASSinine price - I disagree! 1 draft beer $255 pesos = $13.24 USD (still, not a typo) Total Order: $69.36 USD BEFORE tip!!! With 15% tip, my total was $79.76 USD

Wife's order: 1 bottle of water $135 pesos = $7.94 (not a typo - with tip $8 USD for a bottle of water) 1 "skull shot" $375 pesos = $22.06 USD (nope no typo) 1 Guacamole $65 pesos = $3.82 USD 1 "dump" Nachos $509 pesos = $29.95 USD (again, no typo we paid over $30 USD for nachos!!! Total Order: $63.77 USD

With 15% tip - our total came to $2293 pesos or $134.88 USD for chicken wings, fish and nachos!!!

You decide for yourself if you want to pay for the "privilege" of being a hostage in the airport and eating at a GF restaurant. If you've ever wondered why he is a gazillionare, and you're not:

My summary: OVERPRICED everything for food that was at best, average, warm, warm/flat beer but - at least you get to keep the glass (sarcasm, in case you don't recognize it)

I got skrewed when I landed in Cancun by stopping at Jimmy Buffet's (God rest his soul) Margaritaville by paying $124 USD for 2 margaritas, 2 beers, and 1 shot of tequilla) then I got skrewed by Guy Fieri on the way out, and neither even had the courtesy of...

Flavortown Redemption: The Best 4.5-Hour Delay Ever at Guy Fieri's CUN! Let me tell you something: when our flight out of Cancun got slammed with a 4.5-hour delay, my husband and I thought we were doomed to a soul-crushing airport experience. WRONG! Thanks to the genius, pure-rock-and-roll magic of Guy Fieri's American Kitchen and Bar in Terminal 3, that delay turned into the most unexpected, fantastic post-vacation party we could have asked for. Forget stress, this place is about chill. We immediately beelined for the legendary, wide-open smoking lounge and set up shop. For the paltry sum of around $7 (which often includes a drink credit, talk about a bargain!), we were given a golden ticket to 4.5 hours of pure relaxation. We spread out, dealt out the cards for a few competitive rounds, and settled in to hit the penjamin in peace. The vibe was immaculate—pure vacation extension. But the real superstar here? The service. The staff at Guy Fieri’s is 100% on point, going above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome, even as we basically moved in for half a workday. The fact that they let two travelers occupy that prime real estate for four and a half hours without pressuring us, while still providing incredible, frequent service, is a testament to their dedication. They treated us like VIPs, not airport loiterers. Seriously, that kind of accommodating, real deal service elevates this spot from "airport bar" to "destination." And for anyone reading this, listen up: DO NOT LEAVE without the skull mug. That thing is the official chalice of Flavortown, and it is the only souvenir that perfectly captures the "off da hook" spirit of CUN. It’s not a want, it’s a need. Thank you, Guy Fieri’s Kitchen and Bar, for saving our travel day and giving us one last, truly spectacular memory of our trip. We love you, Cancun! And we absolutely love you, Guy Fieri! This spot is an airport oasis that is...
