Produced by ITV Studios America, it is based on the British show Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.
The show premiered September 19, 2007, on Fox. On June 23, 2014, Ramsay announced that he was ending the series; the final episode aired on September 12 that year. In June 2018, Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back, a series similar to Kitchen Nightmares albeit with a shorter timeline, premiered on Fox. In May 2023, Fox announced that the show would re-enter production for an eighth season, which premiered on September 25, 2023. The show's ninth season began airing on January 7, 2025.
Synopsis
Each episode begins with clips and interviews introducing the episode's restaurant, emphasizing the subpar conditions. Ramsay observes a lunch and dinner service, which is often overwhelmingly negative. Ramsay inspects the back-of-house, often uncovering further problems.
The next day, Ramsay meets with owners and staff to discuss what changes need to be made (e.g., menu changes, retraining, remodelling). The restaurant relaunches, typically with more successful service, and Ramsay addresses the restaurant's owner and staff one final time before leaving, wishing them well.
In later seasons, episodes end with a follow-up segment showcasing the restaurant's status in the months after Ramsay's visit. Each season after season one, an episode is dedicated to Ramsay revisiting some of the previous restaurants he visited to see what became of the restaurant and its staff.
Production
The show was produced by ITV Studios America and Optomen, in association with A. Smith & Co. Productions, with Arthur Smith, Kent Weed, and Patricia Llewellyn serving as executive producers.
In the UK, the series is broadcast under the name Kitchen Nightmares USA and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares USA on Channel 4, which also produced the original British version. It is broadcast under this name to avoid confusion with the original British version. British airings of the American show feature an alternate soundtrack and mix, with less prominent musical stings, wild music, a lower level of vocal compression, and a different narrator to the American broadcast. It also airs uncensored, when shown after the watershed. Reruns, along with the British series, are frequently shown on BBC America.
On May 15, 2023, Fox announced that it would revive the series after a 10-year absence. Ramsay and his crew were spotted at several restaurants in the New York metropolitan area through the spring and summer of 2023. Some locations include a restaurant in Wayne, a pizzeria in Dumont, a bar and grill in Asbury Park, and a cafe in Saugerties.
Season 8 premiered on September 25, 2023.
In November 2024, Fox announced a midseason run of episodes that will premiere on January 7, 2025; the first half of the season will be billed as Kitchen Nightmares: Road to Super Bowl LIX as a cross promotion for Fox's broadcast of the game, featuring a focus on restaurants in its host city of New Orleans, and guest appearances by National Football League players and personalities. The second half of the season will feature locations in Austin and Houston, Texas.

In March 2011, the producers of the show announced a casting call for a fifth season. The fifth season premiered on Friday, September 23, 2011, and ended on March 30, 2012. |background = #81E393 |overall = 6 |season = 6 |title = 25 |aux1 = 25 |airdate = 12 |prodcode = 5 |viewers = 10 |country = U.S. |titleT = Restaurant |aux1T = Location |episodes = |EpisodeNumber = 50 |EpisodeNumber2 = 1 |Title = Blackberry's |Aux1 = Plainfield, New Jersey |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 401 |Viewers = 3.90 |ShortSummary = Ramsay visits a soul food restaurant in New Jersey. The owner, Sherry, was a successful caterer before opening her own restaurant with the financial help of her mother Mary. Sherry proves resistant to Ramsay's changes, though Mary and other employees embrace them. The recap shows that Sherry eventually acquiesced to them once she saw how successful the restaurant was. |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 51 |EpisodeNumber2 = 2 |Title = Leone's |Aux1 = Montclair, New Jersey |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 402 |Viewers = 4.01 |ShortSummary = Gordon visits an Italian restaurant which has fallen into mismanagement after the owner's son took over following an unusual medical emergency. |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 52 |EpisodeNumber2 = 3 |Title = Mike & Nellie's |Aux1 = Oakhurst, New Jersey |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 403 |Viewers = 3.08 |ShortSummary = Gordon visits a family restaurant which has declined in quality and popularity since the death of the family's grandfather, Nellie. Gordon convinces owner Mike to delegate responsibility to his staff, for the sake of himself, his family and the restaurant. |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 53 |EpisodeNumber2 = 4 |Title = Luigi's D'Italia |Aux1 = Anaheim, California |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 405 |Viewers = 3.63 |ShortSummary = Gordon visits an Italian restaurant that was run by a father-son duo from 1981 to 2006. Now, Luigi's is on the verge of bankruptcy since the father retired to Italy, and an unconcerned brother takes his place. The arrogant chef-owner's wife also has a history of yelling and swearing at both staff and customers. |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 54 |EpisodeNumber2 = 5 |Title = Revisited No. 6 |Aux1 = N/A |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 411 |Viewers = 3.46 |ShortSummary = Revisit to Down City, Classic American and Davide. |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 55 |EpisodeNumber2 = 6 |Title = Burger Kitchen, Part 1 |Aux1 = Los Angeles, California |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 406 |Viewers = 3.71 |ShortSummary = Gordon visits Burger Kitchen in Los Angeles, run by a stubborn owner and his wife, who claim there is a Yelp conspiracy against them. They also claim to sell 5 star burgers, which are frozen and tasteless. Additionally, they cannot hold onto a chef and the current chef claims he is forced to make the owner's recipes and does not get paid, which Gordon quickly discovers to be true. Furthermore, the owner and his son were each to receive a large inheritance from the owner's father (the infamous Australian organized crime figure Abe Saffron), only for the owner to take his son's inheritance to pay for the restaurant without his knowledge or consent, forcing him into the business and causing him and his fiancée to harbor deep resentment against his parents. Gordon must make drastic changes in order to save this restaurant and the family relationship before it's too late. |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 56 |EpisodeNumber2 = 7 |Title = Burger Kitchen, Part 2 |Aux1 = Los Angeles, California |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 407 |Viewers = 3.94 |ShortSummary = Part 2 of the previous episode. Gordon gets through to the owners about the Yelp conspiracy, and their treatment of their son, his fiancée and their staff, easing the tension between them. However, the chef is no longer employed after an altercation with the son, and the owners struggle in letting their son take the reins, but ultimately allow him the time and space. Gordon then gives the restaurant and menu a significant make over to everyone's delight and service goes very well. |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 57 |EpisodeNumber2 = 8 |Title = The Greek at the Harbor |Aux1 = Ventura, California |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 404 |Viewers = 3.46 |ShortSummary = |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 58 |EpisodeNumber2 = 9 |Title = Michon's |Aux1 = College Park, Georgia |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 409 |Viewers = 3.78 |ShortSummary = |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 59 |EpisodeNumber2 = 10 |Title = El Greco |Aux1 = Austin, Texas |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 408 |Viewers = 3.86 |ShortSummary = |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 60 |EpisodeNumber2 = 11 |Title = Revisited No. 7 |Aux1 = N/A |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 412 |Viewers = 3.42 |ShortSummary = Revisit to Spanish Pavilion, Kingston Cafe, Capri, and La Frite |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 61 |EpisodeNumber2 = 12 |Title = Park's Edge |Aux1 = Atlanta, Georgia |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 410 |Viewers = 3.83 |ShortSummary = |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 62 |EpisodeNumber2 = 13 |Title = Spin-A-Yarn Steakhouse |Aux1 = Fremont, California |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 413 |Viewers = 3.56 |ShortSummary = |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 63 |EpisodeNumber2 = 14 |Title = Charlie's |Aux1 = La Verne, California |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 414 |Viewers = 3.05 |ShortSummary = |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 64 |EpisodeNumber2 = 15 |Title = Cafe Hon |Aux1 = Baltimore, Maryland |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 415 |Viewers = 3.47 |ShortSummary = |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 65 |EpisodeNumber2 = 16 |Title = Chiarella's |Aux1 = Philadelphia, Pennsylvania |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 416 |Viewers = 3.06 |ShortSummary = |LineColor = 81E393 |EpisodeNumber = 66 |EpisodeNumber2 = 17 |Title = Zocalo |Aux1 = Philadelphia, Pennsylvania |OriginalAirDate = |ProdCode= 417 |Viewers = 2.93 |ShortSummary = |LineColor = 81E393

Lawsuits
In September 2007, a case was filed by Martin Hyde, a former manager of Dillon's, against Ramsay for ten offenses, including allegedly staging disasters and hiring actors to trick the viewing audience. The case was dismissed because the contract signed by Hyde stipulated arbitration in the event of a legal dispute. The case went into arbitration in 2008.
In 2018, Oceana Grill sued Ramsay and the show's production company alleging fabrication. Specifically, they claimed that Ramsay staged a scene where he vomited during his kitchen inspection and planted a mouse in a rodent trap "to manufacture drama for their show." The restaurant also argued that a prior settlement from 2011 (before the episode aired) placed limits on the production company's ability to re-use clips from their episode. The 2018 suit was filed after the production company posted clips of the Oceana Grill episode on Facebook.
Reception
::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/Gordon_Ramsay_colour_Allan_Warren.jpg" caption="Gordon Ramsay in 2010"] ::
Ginia Bellafante of The New York Times found Ramsay's teaching methods and high standards "undeniably hypnotic" and commented, "the thrill of watching Mr. Ramsay is in witnessing someone so at peace with his own arrogance." Doug Elfman of the Chicago Sun-Times said the show is "a very entertaining public service" that "will make you laugh, make you sick, and make you think". Randy Cordova of The Arizona Republic found Ramsay "just as blustery and foul-mouthed here as he is on Hell's Kitchen. But he is also oddly endearing, mainly because he genuinely seems invested in the fate of each restaurant".
Critics have commented that Fox's adaptation of Kitchen Nightmares strayed from the strengths of the original Channel 4 series. Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune said, "Leave it to Fox to take something the Brits did pretty well and muck it up". She added, "Never mind the cooking; this edition of the show appears to be more interested in playing up the family dramas at the restaurants Ramsay visits". Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times commented, "Whereas the British Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is fundamentally a food show—it has interesting things to show you about how a restaurant runs and a kitchen works, the wonders of local markets and what you can make from them if you're Gordon Ramsay or willing to follow his instructions—the Fox edition emphasizes mishap, argument, and emotional breakdown almost to the exclusion of cuisine".
