I was a bit hesitant to try the place, considering the overall rating. I found the place to be very inviting and upscale. We had four different burgers and all were delicious. The patty alone has a really good flavour that it doesn't really need much toppings but the toppings are great (especially the pastrami). The fried chicken was tender and the burger had a nice spiciness to it. The bacon, Mac and cheese is definitely a must try. The burgers ooze with delicious cheese. I would definitely like to return to try other options on the menu.
The food seems pricey but once you get the good you realize it's worth it (none of us could finish a portion).
The waitress was incredibly friendly. All in all, a great experience.
Also, this is not a fast food joint. The food did take long to prepare (it seemed the case with other customers as well) but it was worth the wait.
America in the hart of Pretoria. What a great place to have a good evening with friends and even a lovely afternoon burger lunch.
The signature Bacon Mac and Cheese burger lives up to its name an popularity. Just WOW!!!!
Everything you could want in a burger. The taste was something out of this world. The perfect combination of sweet and sour and leave such an amazing flavour in your mouth.
The vibe is great. Bull riding. Friendly people and staff. Loved every moment.
Thank you Guy Fieri for a great experience and AMAZING FOOD!
Cozy vibe, fast and friendly service from the waiter and host. Ordered the Cheesecake Challenge and Fried ice cream. Both made my mouth scream “Plot Twist”. Really good experience.
The evening we came here, there was such a vibe in the restaurant! The staff were very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our food. The food is quite 'different', as it is American (bigger is better) style, but we still found it quite tasty and it was exciting to try something new.
The food is really unique to SA..
The servings are massive!!!
Their Mac and cheese burger was really good but really filling!
Atmosphere is really nice and this can be the perfect location to watch sports with massive tv in the centre.
Oh and there's a a bull that you can ride if you dare!
Amazing American food, a wonderful sports atmosphere and some of the best service I have received in Pretoria. Perfect for a nibble before a show as well. (Just remember to book!)
Our waiter Delight was the personification of his namesake. My family and I left the restaurant on a high, especially after the size of the single slice of cake for desert took us all down!
Arrive Hungry!
Nice ambiance.American diner/ Bar...as advertised!
We went for Friday lunch...veey Quiet, which for us is great. Being in a casino venue it is guaranteed that after work it will get busy.
The literal baby trash-can of chicken Nachos to share could easily feed 4...very tastyty!!!!
Springbok loin (med rare)and Fried chicken was our choice of mains...both very tasty!
A doggy bag was necessary..
Service by our waitress Fortune was polite, prompt and friendly, thank you!
An all round very enjoyable lunch !
Had a great meal at Guy Fieri's last night. I was a bit concerned about the mixed reviews but will happily visit again. Vibe is great - read comments that the music is too loud and it is loud but in a just right for the atmosphere way. Read that the service is terrible - not at all! Seated quickly, drinks came quickly, food came quickly. If anything they were a bit slow taking the last 2 empty plates away - but the place was busy and we never waited for anything else. And the food - 4 of us shared the nachos - they were not the best but perfectly accepable and lots of them. 1 of us had the chicken pasta dish and loved it but the main event for the rest of us was the bacon, mac & cheese burger. All 3 agree that this is the best burger we have ever had and rated it a 9/10. I doubt it can be improved on but the other one we will save in hope. There was no room for any dessert. Already looking forward to my next one!

Recently went to the popular Guy Fieri’s Kitchen and Bar at Time Square Casino. I've heard a lot about this restaurant and decided I should check it out.
It has a casual American diner feel with a huge bar and and even bigger TV screen - perfect for watching one of the World Cup games. What looked really cool was the giant bull in the corner. There were a few birthday celebrating guests riding the wild bull, holding on.
I must say, the cocktails were delicious. Frozen Margarita and an SA Long Island Iced Tea.
I went to a restaurant a while ago and they had an iPad with all the dishes on, so you could see exactly what the meal looks like. I really wish they had this. Because this would have helped us chose better. We were just two little people and each portion and meal just got bigger and bigger and bigger.
For starters we thought we'd share the chicken nachos and the mushroom starter. To our surprise, the Nachos arrived in a huge tin and when lifted, revealed an avalanche of nachos and cheese. This was enough to feed 6 people. The stuffed mushroom and spinach starter was delicious.
For mains I had the crispy pounced chicken breast, jalepeno and turkey sausage creamy gravy served on brussels sprouts. Really different, but once again - the biggest portion ever. Easy for two people to share. Mom had the bacon mac n cheese Burger. Yes, you read right. The burger had macaroni and cheese served between the buns. This is Guy's award winning Burger. It is served with the tastiest waffle fries.
We really didn't have space for dessert, but thought we'd share the cheesecake challenge. This was literally half a cheesecake topped with lays chips and hot fudge sauce. Once again, this could be shared between three people.
If you are starving, this is your dream come true. Portions so big, you'd be forced to have a take away. Perhaps ask if they do half portions or consider sharing.
Overall there is a nice vibe if you want to go for drinks and have a bite inbetween. It's inside the casino, so that means adults only. Luckily no noisy kids. Also, if you looking for a nice space to watch a big sports match - this is the perfect spot.
Where my inner fat kid dreams came alive. As someone who's been obsessed with Guy and his crazy heart-attack inducing food, visiting this restaurant was a dream come true!!!! The vibe is so right. The interior, the staff, the mechanical bull! I love how extra the food is, it just screams MURICA!! The waffle fries were to die for ... Literally might kill you but so worth it. The ribs were juicy and tender! We loved the mac and cheese. I can't wait to come back this time without a broken back!!!
This is a great restaurant, with an americana feel. Would put this in a sports bar restaurant category, could be lots of fun meeting friends, watching sports and then challenging them to a bull ride... awesome. Food was really tasty and good on the eye, generous portions, filled up my always hungry teen son. Pricing is a bit high, but not expected being in a high class casino environment. Would definitely be back with my family.
The burger you always but can't get is right here. The big mac and cheese burger is the best I ever had. Perfect balance of flavours.
Spot on American bar and diner vibe. Staff is friendly and service is great. Can highly recommend it.
Bit on the higher end in terms of price but you get for what you pay. Entertainer app can help here.

Considering the foods that attract GF on his shows, this restaurant is all about typical American junk food. We had Mac n Cheese burgers, were enticed by the Ringer (might go back for that), shared the American Royal ribs and the bourbon brown sugar BBQ chicken wings, rounding the afternoon off with the dark chocolate whiskey cake and the cheesecake challenge. The burgers and the desserts are what makes the place worth the drive. The ribs were not amazing and quite pricey (R250 for the full rack) and the chicken wings needed more of a crunch, or something... nice to know the place, and the deco is cool but not sure I will make it a weekly spot.

I am writing again, I had rhe opportunity to visit the restaurant again on the 12th February. Wow. What a difference, service was amazing ... the food was first class, I can honestly say this was the best meal I have had in a long time. This is the Standard that the restaurant should expect. I did convey my thanks and appreciation to the chef. We asked around at other tables and all seemed to enjoy their meals.. well done .It was really good. Thanks . I will go again. First class
This was my previous message....
Disappointed. We have been fans of Guy Fieri for many years and with much expectations we visited the restaurant on 31st December. We ordered ribs with Guy's famous six cheese mac and cheese. Well, the mac and cheese arrived ice cold, the chips were not cooked and some came almost raw. The ribs were so tough, and the bourbon brown sugar basting was lost on ribs that came as if they were microwaved. The cole slaw had ZERO dressing and was just chops raw veggies ... its the first time in our 23 years of marriage that we have refused to pay for a meal.. its very sad that Guy's name and standards are getting dragged so low... I am sure that if he knew what standards his restaurant wad setting he would not be happy... the prices are at a premium and am sure if this standard persists Guy will be one restaurant down very soon... the worst was there was no appearance or apology from the kitchen... not what we were expecting from a what has the potential to be a world class restaurant...

Came here with an open mind, and was not disappointed. The starter which was smoked pull pork belly and coleslaw on a small bun...it was delicious, Fort the main had a bacon wrapped springbok loin with mash and mixed veg, My wife had a burger called The Ringer. All in all the service with atmosphere was great.

1 Sentence description:
Ignore whatever you think of GF, as he sure knows how to make great tasty and filling food.
## What’s good here?
Try the 'Signature Sandwiches’.
I had the award-winning Bacon Mac ’n Cheese - “Smoked bacon, six-cheese Mac n cheese, LTOP (lettuce, tomato, onion + pickle), SMC (super melty cheese), crispy onions + donkey sauce on a toasted brioche bun.
I also tasted the Motley Que - "House smoked pulled-pork smothered in Guy's bourbon brown sugar BBQ sauce, slaw, pickles, cheddar cheese, onion straws + donkey sauce on a toasted pretzel bun."
Both were mighty fine. Truth be told, whilst the Bacon Mac ’n Cheese was very, very good I wish I had chosen the Motley Que. The taste and sauciness were exceptional.
What’s an ‘Opportunity for Improvement’?
Food service was a little slower than expected, especially as it was a quiet night. However, it probably takes quite a lot of preparation time to stack and balance those bad boys!

It’s worth checking out for offers such as Entertainer (Buy One Get One Free) as we saved 140 ZAR (the cheaper sandwich - Bacon Mac ’n Cheese - is the freebie.

How I Rate:
I normally rate 1-4, with 5 reserved for ’Exceptional’, i.e. “deviating from the norm” or “truly worthy of note”.
* 4 stars = very good
* 3 stars = good
* 2 stars = average or acceptable
* 1 stars = poor
The vibe is great here, and definitely gives you an American feel. The food is quite pricey but the burger is a big portion. The award winning Mac and Cheese burger could honestly have done with more flavor but the Buffalo wings with bluesabi sauce (blue cheese and wasabi) was excellent! Just writing about it now makes my mouth water! The hot wings basting is quite spicy but is calmed down by the dipping sauce. The service was good.
Excellent experience - Mechanical Bull makes for endless entertainment. Food is out of bounds 😎 - service is exceptional. Put this on your to do list.
Nice atmosphere. Food is good but expensive. The food has a definite American vibe to it. Service was slow as well as the kitchen. This needs to be stepped up. Otherwise worth a visit at least once!
I had a great time here... burger was huge and stuffed after... everyone around us seemed to have a great time too. Pricey but worth every penny. Asked for mayo on side and they did not have, only negative point I have. Will visit again, definitely.
