It's probably people that watch the show and expect it to be some ho-hum family friendly environment. Well, hello, that's not going to happen. It's Fast 'N Loud! The way a gearhead bar should be!

This Google Review is awesome.

"The drinks were great but the french fries were horrible. They taste like Arron Kaufman used motor oil for the cooking oil, which probably means that there is a hot-rod somewhere around here that smells like french fries cooking. I asked to speak with the owner because of the bad food so Ricard came over and gave me the big F-U. I also asked him why it took so long to get what i ordered and he told me "I'm not Sue, I don't work on deadlines." "Monkey, you kway-see." Then, i gave him my debit card to settle the bill and he told me that "Gas Monkey only deals in cash." Awesome show guys....... and Hot lady!!!"

Do you mean a customer should want to pay for poor service, bad food, and being insulted by the owner? I guess I'm not a gearhead, then. Richard should stay out of the operations and let the general manager he hired handle the restaurant.

I think that review I posted was a trol review. It had a 5 star rating tagged with it. Some guy just decided to have a little fun.

I agree that Richard should probably act a little more humble if he plans to show up, and not get belligerently drunk, because that definitely could hurt the business, and potentially the show.

Bet they end up giving away a car from the show through a raffle or something to draw in huge crowds.

Any drink specials when the show is on?

I can honestly say IF he went drunk and did his dance, I'd show up. That shit cracks me up.

It's a rehashed Twin Peaks. Rawlings only owns 10% of the business. Every person I've talked to so far who has been there said it's mediocre at best and overpriced. Another tourist trap really.

They are simply playing off of the Fast 'N Loud success. It won't last long.
