MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes — Restaurant in Guilford

A Burger Bust: The Disappointing Tale of a Failed Fast Food Fiasco In search of a quick and satisfying meal, I ventured into a local burger joint that had garnered some buzz for its supposedly mouthwatering creations. Eager to sink my teeth into what I hoped would be a delectable feast, I approached the counter with anticipation, ready to place my order. However, what transpired next was a series of disappointments that left me questioning the very essence of burger bliss. Firstly, the ambiance of the restaurant was less than inviting. The chain’s red color theme should have been vivid and enticing. However, I spotted several places that were not quite clean, not to mention the bathroom. I brushed aside my initial misgivings, hoping that the food would make up for the cleanless impression. As I perused the menu, I was met with a variety of burger options, quite standard options and customized ones. I was afraid that any customizing could lead to possible disaster. Conservatively, I placed my order for their signature “Bacon Cheeseburger," and a side of sweet potato fries. However, when the food arrived, my excitement quickly turned to dismay. The burger, far from the towering masterpiece depicted in the menu, arrived looking squished and unappetizing. The bun was soggy, the lettuce wilted, and the patty disappointingly thin and overcooked. It was a far cry from the juicy, flavorful burger I had been promised. As I took my first bite, my worst fears were confirmed. The burger was bland and uninspired, lacking any discernible seasoning or depth of flavor. To make matters worse, they messed up my sweet potato fries with regular fries! When I asked, the staff tried to blame me for misorder. At that point, I totally lost any remaining desire for food and left. In the end, what was meant to be a satisfying meal turned out to be a burger bust of epic proportions. From the unclean environment to the disappointing food and terrible service, it was a dining experience best forgotten. My quest for the perfect burger continues, but alas, it will not be found within the confines of this chain joint...

The first thing you notice after walking in, was how cold it was inside when the outdoor temps were in the 40's. We ordered our meal with no issue and were given a stand with a number on it. The food runner/cashier (Aleksander) brought two trays to our table, we questioned one of them because it didn't look right and sent it back. Meanwhile we started in on the fries from the remaining tray. Aleksander returned, stating that neither tray was ours, picked up the tray that he left behind that we started eating from, and brought them BOTH to the proper table. First off, isn't that the point of the numbered stands, to designate where the meal goes to? Secondly, the tray that was placed in front of us that we started eating from should've been discarded, not brought to the proper table. When our proper meals came, it still wasn't complete as my meal was missing the bacon, which is a extra line item paid for anyhow. My nephew and I along with another couple waiting for their food couldn't believe what we saw. Needless to say, the place was clean but we won't be returning...

Very impressed with Mooyah of Guilford! There was a great atmosphere in the restaurant and the staff was very welcoming! The staff was always willing to help and be accommodating to ensure that I had a spectacular time there. The burgers were excellently prepared, the fries tasted incredible, and the milkshakes were outstanding! My food was brought out by an amazing server named Jack and I met an amazing chef named Brady. These two really helped take my Mooyah experience to the next level. To top it all off, the manager, Brian, and owner, Nesh, helped make me and my friends feel right at home. They welcomed us with open arms into one of the greatest restaurants in Connecticut. Even during COVID in this dynamic and constantly changing landscape, Mooyah of Guilford has shown great resilience in opening and being a major success on the shoreline. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, since they are a great restaurant for anyone. Thank you to the exceptional staff at the Guilford Mooyah and I can’t wait to see the future...
