The sheer size of Downtown Flavortown is enough to make any Guy Fieri fan think they've died and gone to Triple D heaven. This is a 43,000-square-foot mecca for fun and flavor. The restaurant holds more than 300 people, serving the kind of OTT comfort food you'd expect from the face of Food Network, ranging from a spaghetti and meatball waffle to the signature Trash Can Nachos. "Real deal food and good times, that's what I'm all about," promised Fieri upon opening in 2022. And this expansive joint is much more than just a restaurant.

Downtown Flavortown holds an incredible 10,000-square-foot arcade, where guests can enjoy games and virtual reality challenges for a chance to win 'go-big-or-go-home' prizes. It also has 14 lanes of duckpin bowling – which is like tenpin bowling, only the pins are shorter, the lanes are smaller, and the balls don't have holes. The online reviews are mixed on the food, but overall the place seems to deliver the right energy.

Guy's Sammich Joint is a convenient spot found inside Harrah's Resort Atlantic City in New Jersey and at California's Hollywood Burbank Airport. It has a range of loaded sandwiches to enjoy while you're on the move, but the place also has a menu of hot sandwiches and subs if you've got a bit more time. Nothing on the menu screams Guy Fieri – instead, the offering is pretty classic, including an Italian sub, chicken BLT, and a roast beef and Cheddar sandwich.

It should come as no surprise that Fieri knows a thing or two about making a great sandwich. The man has been chowing down on sammies for years on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and there's always a righteous selection of sandwiches in his restaurants. For Fieri, the ultimate sandwich is the classic grilled cheese, although he is also partial to meatball subs, pastrami sandwiches, and cheesesteaks.

Guy Fieri's partnership with Carnival Cruise Line places Guy's Burger Joint on all of the brand's luxury cruise liners, but it also sees Guy's Pig & Anchor on board select ships, too. This is a real deal barbecue smokehouse at sea and, amazingly, everything is smoked in-house over hickory wood. It means tasty meat dishes such as Championship Pork Butt and Blue Ribbon Chicken can deliver intense flavor alongside legendary sides such as mac ’n’ cheese and 'Old Skool' potato salad. As Fieri says, the smoke is no joke!

Despite partnering with Carnival Cruise Line for his line of restaurants, Fieri was not always a fan of cruises. In fact, he had never even been on a cruise before he decided to bring his first restaurant, Guy's Burger Joint, to Carnival. But apparently, he took one cruise trip with his family and fell in love with it. In fact, he liked it so much that he created a TV show, Guy's Ultimate Family Cruise, to showcase the best things about cruise life.

Las Vegas and Guy Fieri seem like a match made in heaven, and the Flavortown Sports Kitchen is perhaps everything you want from a Guy Fieri restaurant. Located inside the Horseshoe Las Vegas casino, the joint features the star's signature American comfort food served beneath the glow of countless HD screens showing all your favorite sports. What better way to enjoy a Hangover Burger or a plate of Off Da Hook Fish N' Chips?

The Flavortown Sports Kitchen opened in 2023 and can fit almost 300 diners, most of whom will be charmed by the restaurant's good vibes and warm welcome. This being Vegas, the joint is open from 8am until 11pm, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with varying levels of indulgence and decadence. You can go from the Fieri Family French Toast in the morning all the way through to the OG Flavortown Sports Sundae at night.

When we say you can visit a Guy's Burger Joint anywhere in the world, we mean that literally. After all, Fieri partnered with Carnival Cruise Line to bring his restaurants aboard cruise ships that circle the globe. The two brands seem to complement each other perfectly, with Fieri's signature sense of fun going hand in hand with what most people want from their all-inclusive cruises. Lunch at the Burger Joint is included in the price, so why not work your way through the menu? You wouldn't be the first!

Guy's Burger Joint is the perfect place to get used to the unique lingo on many of Fieri's menus. So when the Straight Up burger says it comes with SMC, LTOP, and Donkey Sauce, someone hasn't made a series of typos. SMC is super melty cheese, LTOP is lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle, and Donkey Sauce is Fieri's famous secret sauce. Want a crispy onion ring on the side? Ask for a Rojo Ring and have at it.

Guy Fieri's Kitchen & Bar caused a high-profile squabble when it opened in New York City's Times Square in 2012. A scathing New York Times review gave the new restaurant 0 stars, calling Fieri out for 'messing with our heads' and failing to deliver on all fronts. Fieri hit back by claiming the reviewer, Pete Wells, was using Fieri's fame to advance his own agenda. Despite the viral argument, the joint was a mainstay in NYC for five years before closing in 2017.

These days, the casual dining joint has 10 locations in the US, and one in Cancún. The menu is a collection of Fieri's signature dishes, including burgers, sandwiches, chicken wings, and those legendary Trash Can Nachos. The Motley Que Pulled Pork sandwich even appeared on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, with its mouthwatering mix of pulled pork shoulder, barbecue sauce, slaw, pickle chips, Cheddar, onion straws, and (of course) that Donkey Sauce.

Flavortown collides with Italy at Pizza Parlor in Hampton, Virginia, where Guy Fieri's bold culinary style shines. The chef himself crafted the restaurant’s signature pizzas, which explains menu standouts like the Cheeseburger Pizza and the Fat Boy. The Cheeseburger Pizza piles on ground beef, Cheddar, LTOP (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle), and a generous drizzle of his iconic Donkey Sauce. Meanwhile, the Fat Boy is an over-the-top indulgence, layering mac ’n’ cheese, crispy French fries, SMC (super melty cheese), bacon, and scallions. It’s Flavortown in every bite!

When Fieri opened the Pizza Parlor in 2019, he drew from his Italian heritage to create an old-school pizzeria. Fieri got to know Virginia during his Triple D tapings, so he figured the state was ripe for one of his retro-style restaurants. The menu does feature classic pies such as Margherita and pepperoni, but it can't avoid offering non-pizza Fieri touches, including chicken wings and a Caesar salad.

"Nothing starts a good party like some killer tacos," said Fieri when he announced the opening of Guy Fieri's Taco Joint at the Texas Live! entertainment center in 2018. The tacos, salsas, and guacamole are all scratch-made, and, yes, the menu features the Fieri favorite Cheeseburger Tacos with SMC, LTOP, and Donkey Sauce. Elsewhere on the menu, you'll find the classic combination of tacos and Mexican-inspired cocktails, while the wider Texas Live! venue also offers plenty to see and do.

Texas Live! is such an exciting place for a Guy Fieri restaurant because when it launched, the venue was a $250-million entertainment arena specifically designed for sports fans. It's right next to the Texas Rangers’ indoor ballpark and across the street from their stadium, Global Life Park. So, while you dig into your Taco Joint feast, you can enjoy live entertainment and feel every hit from the ballpark.

Mexican food with a Guy Fieri twist is how El Burro Borracho (The Drunken Donkey) describes its food, and that's pretty much on point. So expect burritos, chimichangas, fajitas, tacos, and enchiladas, followed by house-made churros and fried ice cream for dessert. The joint was established in 2014 at Harrah's in Laughlin and found a second home at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas in 2016. It's a charming way to celebrate (or commiserate) after some time at the casino.

El Burro Borracho perfectly embodies Guy Fieri’s signature style – bold, fun, and all about the good times. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, designed for kicking back with family and friends. The menu follows suit, serving up hearty, flavor-packed dishes that fans say truly capture the Fieri experience. If there’s one place the chef feels right at home, it’s Las Vegas – and at El Burro Borracho, everyone’s invited to the party. 

If you want 'real deal' barbecue courtesy of Guy Fieri, you'll probably want to order the Fatboy Sandwich (pictured) from Guy Fieri's Smokehouse in Louisville. This beast of a sammy includes pork butt, brisket, Guy's special barbecue sauce, mac ’n’ cheese, and Goldfish crackers, all squeezed inside (or pouring out of) a brioche bun. The rest of the menu has everything you want from a classic American barbecue joint, served in a style befitting Fieri's beloved TV shows.

The Smokehouse is another massive Fieri joint, with 6,700 square feet of space in the dining room and an enclosed patio outside. The fresh-never-frozen meat is smoked to perfection in a custom-made smoker and mainly uses apple and hickory chips. It opened in 2016, with Fieri coming on board to bring his passion for old-school barbecue – as well as some of his signature dishes.

Inspired by the great American roadhouses, Fieri opened his very own dive joint in Kansas City called – you guessed it – Guy Fieri's Dive & Taco Joint. Classic taco combinations are all present and correct on the menu, but with this being a Fieri restaurant, you've got to try a few twists on the traditional recipes. Don't come expecting authentic Mexican cuisine – we say embrace those Cheeseburger Tacos.

Fieri was thrilled to finally open a restaurant in Kansas City. He competed in the city's American Royal World Series of Barbecue for many years and was inducted into the American Royal BBQ Hall of Fame in 2012. His aim for the Dive & Taco Joint was simply to give people a local bar to blow off steam at the end of a hard day or week. "If you like to party and you like tacos, this is gonna be your kinda dive!" he said.

In 2018, Guy Fieri teamed up with restaurateur Robert Earl to hatch Chicken Guy! at Walt Disney World Resort's Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida. That laid the foundation for the fast casual chicken shop to expand to 15 locations across America, with four more opening soon. The joint promises 'one-of-a-kind' chicken tenders, served with a huge selection of Fieri's flavorsome sauces, including Garlic Parmesan and Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ. Shakes, sandwiches, and fries also feature on the menu.

Chicken Guy! ruffled some feathers in early 2025 when an outlet opened in New York City's Times Square – marking Fieri's return to the city after the closure of American Kitchen & Bar in 2017. The tourist-heavy area is naturally flooded with fried chicken shops, including the iconic Bird Box and fast food giant Raising Cane's, but if there's one thing Fieri knows how to do, it's how to stand out from the flock.
