My wife and I stopped in and couldnt even get the help to acknowledge us let alone help us. Even though they walked right past us several times and made eye contact each time. There were several people in there but it wasnt packed. They could have at least said hi im sorry, ill be with you in a minute. Nothing, not even acknowlgment
We had the same problem when we tried to get service. Of course, manners is something else. Either you are born with them (thanks to mom and dad) or you are trained by management. Old fart Richard says, is going to stay open year round. Does he honestly think that the locals are going to pay his high prices. He may have to close this one down like he did the other one.
A buddy of mine went there during the rally was told 2 hrs for food and all they had on the menu was a burger, chicken fingers, and what looked liked frozen boxed pizza and were told if they didn’t like go somewhere else he also said Richard was an ass
I agree with you whole-heartily. Richard is an ass most of the time except when he is on camera. I will say this though in his behald (the sober half) he is transparentwhen he is buying and selling cars. Whereas old Dennis is so secretive. Me and my crew (21 of us0 have completely stop watch Dennis's videos. He is just too secretive. But thanks to Shawn, he keeps us updated on what Dennis pays and sells for.
Dallas Gas Monkey was Michelin star prices at bar food quality. I ate there a few years after it was opened and was SHOCKED at the prices. Food was sub par for the prices to say the least. He meeds to learn how to hire quality kitchen staff. As a retired chef, Dallas gas monkey was a joke!
Such "Brand Stores/Restaurants" are often not that great in regards of food. It's like the Hard Rock Café's - while that's unfair, normally those taste good and "only" are expensive.
It can't be that hard to contract a professional kitchen manager and cook. The food is only there to support the drinkers at the bar really. Richard is a hustler.
It can. Its like cooking a burger you know "1000 people will like." - I know, we all like own burgers. But cooking so that everybody will like it *and* repeat that under time pressure and being constantly good is hard. That's the reason, the good kitchen managers & cooks are rare, because they already have good jobs ;D
I have a feeling it will be like so many other bars and restaurants in America. It will start out pretty good, then they'll start cutting corners on food and drink quality as well as cutting staff, and eventually it will be just another subpar bar and grille.
I went there 8/2/24 at 1:30 PM it was packed but so was all the bars. Had no problem with staff or the service it was just good to get out of the heat for a few minutes. Burger was good for bar food 13$ is cheap in Sturgis. I'll be back!! Oh and Rick was there taking pictures with anyone that ask.
I think they should study the returns on Restaurants. 6 percent and this economy is pretty rough for the expectations they have. Customer service and freshness is a key. Keep on trying.👍 Richard is Cool.
Paying 1 million dollars for a pizza place was strange. He has a partner that went in half with him, Mike, the bald creepy looking guy from Tennessee. Sturgis is dead for 51 weeks a year, only about 2500 people live there full time. The Bubba Gump Shrimp theme restaurants have been around for nearly 20 years. I doubt that it will last for over 2-3 years, the profit margins on restaurantsbis very low. Red Lobster and many other national chain restaurants are closing everyday. The past three generations just don't eat out as much as the previous generations.
He actually quit his show lmao, they did not cancel him he canceled them. Check your facts bud before you pop off at the mouth on your keyboard. Btw, he has millions and has made a name for himself. It’s okay to hate.
I think independent food services ie vendors is a great idea. They’d lease a spot on your property, and all you do is serve alcohol, and pretzels. Keep it simple. Some Food Trucks have exceptional food. While the customer waits for food, they’ll order drinks and perhaps appetizers, quality quality affordable appetizers. Appetizers that are not in a can, or a bag. “Come on America” We can do better! We must do better. Richard Grow your food in greenhouses. Sell this to your vendors. Come on let’s get with it.
For me, the food at GMG Dallas was a good burger. I never went back because it was horribly overpriced. Oh, you wanted fries? a ton more money. The folks that worked there were just as much a jerk as i expect richard is
Lol ikr. Its a party place selling his brand rt on the starting line of the rally. These Karen's are ridiculous 😂 And a channel making money off of RR as usual.
Restaurants founded by a chef are the best. Restaurants founded just to make money based off a theme, are almost guaranteed to fail. I worked for 7 different restaurants, the food is the staples. You can call the place "shit salad" and people will love it if the food is good. Gas Monkey built it just for a cash grab. Food comes from passion of a chef.
This is what happens when you try to run a bar/ restaurant at the last minute on the cheap. Rawlins is nothing more than a smooth talking used car salesman.
I hear from the grape vine that Richard is cheap in wages for employees , if you do that , you will never get off the ground................................PERIOD....................just like his so called car show ! What a waste !!!
his entire demeanor is a no for me. I stopped watching the show and think he would kill off a cactus with his antics. the only reason the show is still on is because of the sponsors money. bye richard.
I had a great time there good food and drinks staff was super friendly food only took about 20 minutes talked to Richard and few monkeys super friendly Great guys
Haters going hate I was there three times all three times was a different level of busy but Richard was great every time and food was spot on all three times and even the vendors outside was on point don’t let the crybaby Karens spoil your fun it’s Sturgis every place has the same wait for food and talk to the people that work there don’t stand there with your finger up ur ass and don’t expect your food to be at your table when you get to your seat and 90% of the workers don’t even live there they come up every year to make a quick buck and go home!!
Who paid you to say all that bull-shit. The food and service sucks and the prices are not for normal people. Who ever heard of a 16" pizza for $28.00 and the shit was cold.
It's just his first year man maybe he can stay open for the year. Go monkeys go ❤🎉 get you some of that!!😊 there's lots to celebrate 🎊 work the one place that you fit in 😊
he wants win big prophets overnight he needs to humble himself and rime and real effet will payoff in time not next time organize your game small portions is taking advantage of the rally and customers Period!
if Richard is such a people person - why is it impossible to contact him , we have antiques , gas and oil stuff and cars and trucks , but can't get in touch with the man
@pamdunn8454 do any of you watch the gmg videos from Dallas, you don't get his personal number, if you have something send a email to info@gasmonkeygarage attention: Richard tell him there, might want wait a week or so till he gets back to dallas
All those people that are complaining were probably vegans everybody has something took a pain about if you guys don't remember this place is brand new so there's going to be a lot of stuff that wasn't cooked right you should have told the owner you big dummies
Her who moaned about paying $50 ...the burger and chicken burger are normal price in Sturgis...$13 each...$26 ..leaving $24 for 2 drinks ....depends what they had for drinks...beers are only $6 so they might have had 4 and not 2 drinks...The wings on his menu are expensive,normally a few bucks less elsewhere.
I know- seems funny to me, you'd think every one is so behind on bills & plans, that they'd be hungry for work=money????? I don't get it! Even offering good pay=LAZY!
Yeah usual BS from the haters of Gas monkey you must be a democrate 50 bucks for a beer and a burger nice try funny how they can't get enough of what he has then complain and i'll bet anything not one of these complainers were even there
My wife and I stopped in and couldnt even get the help to acknowledge us let alone help us. Even though they walked right past us several times and made eye contact each time.

He admitted he was understaffed. It was okay to open with drinks only. The food part was overwhelmed.

Was anyone suprised ? not me ,all it is ,is just another sysco food fast food place with a name on the building ,just like the one he had in dallas
No one outside of the restaurant industry has a clue who or what sysco is JS.
I know all about seeing the sysco trucks . New owner and still the sysco truck means same food.
You’d be surprised, how many people know about frozen Sysco food
@@ferg1680 in Minnesota we see the truck everywhere. It's up to the place you go to, to make it different tasting.

There's over 7000 residents in Sturgis...check facts
Richard should hire Sue from ASM as the GM. That will turn heads😀👍
The bar and grill in Dallas was so expensive ,we only hit it once.
They should have not rushed the opening. Then to open on the rally start it was sure to be tough. Give them a chance I’m sure he will redeem himself
COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED TO A MORE DESERVEING PERSON, NOTHING BUT A LOUD MOUTH NARCISTIC CAR SALESMAN. SURE GLAD THEY SHUT HIS SHOW DOWN.
It'll probably make you feel bad but the place was packed every day😂
And it's not shut down😂
He actually quit his show lmao, they did not cancel him he canceled them. Check your facts bud before you pop off at the mouth on your keyboard. Btw, he has millions and has made a name for himself. It’s okay to hate.
And has multi-million subscribers on RUclips. .. his show is pretty popular
I would never buy a car from him either 😅
And I wouldn't trust your opinion!!!😊
NO SURPRISE! Everything about Richard is all sizzle and no steak in everything he does. He's a BS artist and little more .👎
Every bar there has that problem of girls disappearing
I wonder why seems strange?? Wonder what’s going on with that??

He should open some up in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, Portland, Washington D.C., Yuma, CA., even the town where he lives at.
You're not exactly at an "Outback Restaurant"...
What the fkk did you all expect,....Just go there for the beer, merch, atmosphere = next year...!!?
Lol ikr. Its a party place selling his brand rt on the starting line of the rally. These Karen's are ridiculous 😂

just because a restaurant is owned by a personality does not constitute a great place to eat and enjoy cold beer.

What a waste !!!
Richard has the big head . It's all about him . Not a fan .
Exactly and the beers all the time,had a few failures has Richard hmmmm time will tell ,customers are first priorities Rawlings 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Celebrities should stay out of hospitality. Always ends in tears
He should've just hired one of those giant food vans as backup, outside.
There was. This channel just loves to grab one little thing and make up lies from it
@@brandondeprato ...I saw the Funnel Cake/Corn-Dog ..."Cart"....🤢...!?
Richard didn't have enough staff,....food took more than thirty minutes to get your order...(Sturgis)
.
in short, the quality of food/service is equivalent to the quality of the cars he 'restored"....i'm sure the t-shirts are cool though!
This dude’s 15 min has come and gone…
Everything is expensive, during Sturgis! Unless you know the sleepy local spots, which are better, anyways.
Richard Rawlings comes off as a jerk!
Richard’s a dork he wants to be cool so bad just be yourself
His name fits!! I won’t support anything he does!!
@@beowulf3303 that'll make him cry
I enjoyed watching him on tv, I also enjoy his you tube videos, I have never met him personally I’m just here to learn more about him.
You haven't missed much.
Does he still have the gas monkey bar in key west
Richard will have to sell all this shit when he gets Divorced..
his entire demeanor is a no for me. I stopped watching the show and think he would kill off a cactus with his antics. the only reason the show is still on is because of the sponsors money. bye richard.
Yeah remember that time he went to a really sophisticated event and embarrassed himself as a drunken Lowlife?.
He was supposed to open a gas monkey returant at foxwoods casino. Construction was ever started. It never opened!
So
Stick to cars level food to the professionals
I stopped in here! It was great!!! Great food and beer! Not cheap but not bad at all✅💯!!!! 8/10
can you open one here in smithfeild NC. we got a lot of bikers here!!!!
I had a great time there good food and drinks staff was super friendly food only took about 20 minutes talked to Richard and few monkeys super friendly
Great guys
He needs to stick with cars. There is no money made in food or restraunts any more. Those bikers are only there about 2 weeks, not sustainable
