About Downtown Flavortown
Downtown Flavortown delivers an all-encompassing entertainment experience in its massive 43,000 square foot complex, combining Guy Fieri's signature bold cuisine with duckpin bowling, arcade games, and a tiki bar. This destination has earned a reputation as a reliable choice for families seeking comprehensive entertainment under one roof.
The menu features Fieri's characteristically extravagant offerings, including the famous Trash Can Nachos - a shareable mountain of food that easily feeds four people. The Bacon Mac-N-Cheese Burger delivers on its indulgent promise, though diners should come prepared for a serious food coma afterward.
Children gravitate toward the expansive 10,000 square foot arcade, which spans from nostalgic classic games to cutting-edge VR experiences. The duckpin bowling adds an unexpectedly entertaining twist to traditional bowling - guests bowl in their street shoes using smaller balls and pins, creating a more casual and accessible experience.
The tiki bar provides an adult-friendly refuge while kids explore the entertainment options, and photo opportunities with Guy's iconic '68 Camaro add memorable touches to visits. While the experience comes at a premium price point, the value proposition becomes more reasonable when considering the combination of dining, entertainment, and bowling in a single location.
Potential visitors should plan accordingly for weekend evenings, when crowds significantly increase wait times for tables, bowling lanes, and other amenities throughout the complex.
Amenities & Features
Don't Miss
Trash Can Nachos
Guy's signature appetizer literally comes in a mini trash can and feeds at least four people. It's loaded with pulled pork, cheese, jalapeños, and all the fixings - completely over the top but worth sharing.
14-Lane Duckpin Bowling
This isn't regular bowling - the pins are shorter, balls are smaller, and you wear your own shoes. It's actually more fun than traditional bowling and way less intimidating for kids.
Guy's Real Deal Arcade
10,000 square feet of modern and classic games, plus VR experiences and a prize counter. The digital card system with G-bucks is way better than dealing with tokens everywhere.
Tiki Bar with Custom Mugs
The tropical-themed bar serves up Instagram-worthy drinks in collectible tiki mugs. It's a nice adult retreat while the kids play, and the bartenders know their stuff.
'68 Chevy Camaro Photo Op
Guy's actual bright yellow Camaro is on display inside, along with a life-size Guy Fieri statue. It's cheesy but fun, and the photos always get likes on social media.
Bacon Mac-N-Cheese Burger
This monster burger has mac and cheese piled on top with bacon and all the fixings. It's messy, ridiculous, and exactly what you'd expect from a Guy Fieri restaurant.
