So in a sense, there were no big surprises: Typical tourist grub designed to appeal to carb-loving vacationers, inflated prices (even in an inflationary market) and service that suffers due to sheer customer overload. Even the bites I dipped in the chocolate-sauce drizzle on the plate scarcely stirred my taste buds. It was a large slice (billed on the menu as “half a cheesecake”), but it was simply bland. I would have scored the food higher overall, but the cheesecake we ordered for dessert ($16.95) knocked that down a peg. The veggie toppings and fresh brioche bun made this burger a monster of a stack (I couldn’t wrap my big mouth around its height in a single chomp), but I was happy that the buns stood up to this greasy, gooey mess of a meal and held together until the last tasty bite. The thick patty was cooked well but still abundantly juicy, while the two sauces complemented the beef nicely. And thumbs-up from yours truly on the burger. The waffle embodied sweet cornbread flavor, and the plump, tender shrimp and sausage-laced grits were a palate-pleasing combination. I was reasonably pleased with both our main selections, however. And the place was pretty busy, even for a pre-Memorial Day Thursday, so we waited quite a while for our orders to come up. Our server had just gotten double seated when we arrived, so she was a little slow out of the gate getting our drink and food orders taken.

I ordered The “OG” Ringer ($16.95) - a thick patty topped with cheddar cheese, Guy Fieri’s signature bourbon-brown-sugar barbecue sauce, donkey sauce (whatever the that is) and an onion ring, all on a brioche bun. Varieties include bacon mac and cheese as well as The Real Cheezy, Morgan’s Veggie Burger, the Primetime American Kobe Burger and a turkey burger. The waffle is topped with blackened Gulf shrimp, grits, andouille sausage, bell peppers, onions and scallions. The Spouse passed on the spaghetti/meatball, chili cheese fries and Nashville hot chicken recipes in favor of the Shrimp & Grits Waffle ($19.95). The Spouse decided to go with one of the savory Outta Bounds Waffle creations, most of which are made with cornbread waffle batter.
