Guy Fieri's American Kitchen + Bar — Restaurant in Hempfield Township

We were excited to try the American Kitchen + Bar and we arrived with plans of relaxing and eating we were seated quickly and their were not very many tables that had diners which should have been our first red flag. The waitress was very nice and personable she showed us the menu and the drink menu and we opted for one of the shareable being the Trash Can Nacho’s and ordered a couple signature drinks. When the waitress brought out our Trash Can Nacho’s the first thing you notice is that the nachos are stacked in what looked like a galvanized flour sifter that had the sifter removed and I guess as the “trash can (sifter)” was being slowly lifted straight up the stack of nachos were to slowly cascade out onto the plate but that didn’t happen it stayed in a tilted tower. I slowly pressed the sides of the tower down so that we could start eating and the first bites didn’t have anything on them no queso, black beans, nothing at all except for like a dry rub on the chip but the chips were not crisp they were gummy and chewy and the rub was some sort of barbecue seasoning. We tried another few chips but they all had that stale chewy taste and texture. The waits noticed we were not enjoying our shareable and asked what the problem was and I explained that the chips were stale, chewy and not crispy she asked if we wanted a fresh order to which we agreed we would try. It took quite some time for the new order to come out but we were fine with that as long as they were fresh and tasted good. The moment finally arrived the waitress tried to slowly remove the “trash can” straight up to get the cascading effect which didn’t really work again but we could care less as long as they tasted good. As our waitress was getting ready to let us taste the new batch of nacho’s she let us know that these chips were not nacho’s and wouldn’t taste like a nacho since these were actually tortillas that were fried and dusted with flavoring. We tasted the new batch they were a little crispier but still quite chewy and honestly the barbecue seasoning on them wasn’t very good. We noticed that the few peppers were like shavings not slices and there weren’t many of them in fact the only thing plentiful were the tortilla chips and black beans everything else was sparse enough you could see but not enough to taste. We really did try to eat these especially as expensive as they were but they just were not palatable so we left over three quarters of them and when the waitress came by she saw our drinks were gone and most of the food remained and that we were not eating it so asked if this batch was better and I let her know that they were not good at all should not be called a nacho and that we appreciated them making a fresh batch for us but they were not something we liked or would order again. I wondered what our check would look like and while it was nice that they gave us a very small discount it was still more than most places charge for an entree the signature cocktails were good but were double the price you pay anywhere else. This is not somewhere I will go to again and any foodies that think you will be going to flavortown I am sorry you are going to be disappointed the food is not good, flavorable it is...

This would be my 4th experience at this restaurant. I usually stop in to get something to eat while visiting the casino. Normally, I would give Guy Fieri 4 stars, but during my most recent visit the menu options and food COMPLETELY SUCKED and it was very disappointing. There are absolutely NO BURGERS, NO FRIES, NO SANDWICHES WHATSOEVER on the menu. NO WINGS!! ANYWAY, we decided to stay.

My boyfriend ordered the deviled eggs (I know right, super weird appetizer) and not only were they tasteless, but he got 5 halves on the plate... like what happened to the sixth one? 😕

I ordered and enjoyed the flavor of the calamari but wished that they would have maybe drizzled more aioli or offered some on the side. Some of the pieces were super rubbery and we had to spit them out!! But I ate pretty much all of it and you will see why in a minute...

I decided to try the pot roast as my meal and chose the gouda mac n cheese and asparagus as my 2 sides. Check my pic!

Pot Roast looked super burnt, so I wasn't thrilled with that, but veggies in it tasted gross and flavorless! I took a few bites of the carrots and a nibble of one of the chunks of roast and immediately knew that I chose wrong!

The gouda mac and cheese was simply noodles with a dried up, chunky, grated texture of cheese...like a hint of cheese...with freakin potato chips just smashed on top! On the menu it said SMC (SUPER MELTY CHEESE) with a potato chip crust! I didn't get any super melty cheese and the crust...?! Someone in the back took 4 potato chips and literally crunched them in their hand real quick and then threw them on top! I took a bite and almost cried! 😥 Kraft from the box would be creamier and probably taste better...My boyfriend reached over and started eating the chips off of the top and said that they were pretty good 👍 So congrats, Lay's!

I won't complain about the asparagus, since I took a bite of one, and it was probably the best tasting thing on my plate!

I did tell the waitress that I did not like my food and she got the manager. I was offered a new meal but declined since I wasn't brave enough to try anything else from this menu and chef. The manager then offered to take the meal off of the check and then gave me a free desert.

I had a bite of the carrot cupcake and did not have an issue with it 😁 I also shoved all of the rest of the calamari in my mouth since that was technically my dinner!

Service and atmosphere, great! Food, terrible! Where is Guy Fieri?! They're going to need to send Ramsay in soon enough for a kitchen...

I took my teenage son there for his first time today for lunch. I was not impressed with them the last time when I went with friends, which my first, so I didn't plan on eating a meal today. However my teen son really wanted to check out the new place. Now he was torn between the Kobe Burger and Buffalo Wings, so we ordered both. Our food came out and I couldn't believe how small the wings were! You can go anywhere in this area. Heck go to the plaza right across from the casino to Big Shot Bobs and get you wings there! We received 8 wing-dings for $13! They were bona fide wing dings! They were well over priced and not worth it! As for the burger. I guess when they check your burger to see if the center is done they tear your burger in half!?My son picked up his burger and 1/2 it to fall right out the bun. He said. It tasted good, but not $20 for a burger good. He did enjoy the fryer basket of mixed fries. So, two sodas, 8 wig dings and a Kobe burger came out to $43 BEFORE tip ($51 with tip) FOR 2 PEOPLE FOR LUNCH!! My son apologized to me for spendingg that much on him for lunch! We had to use the restroom after we paid. The restaurant does not have a bathroom of their own so when we left, I tried taking him to the bathroom and we were stopped and I was asked my son's age. I gave the age and and told them we were just using the bathroom. They told me because he was a minor we couldn't use the bathroom closest to the restaurant. We had to go upstairs into the sports bar restaurant and use their bathroom! What kind of messed-up set-up is that?!? So we had to hike up 30 step and then find a bathroom located is a different restaurant. Very poor planning. I have no desire to eat...
