Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken

Small quiet spot to grab a nice plate of chicken. Server said it was hot and Spicy. My daughter and I both agree it came out nice and hot fresh very good and flavorful, but not so spicy. Service was great, polite, fast. A bit overpriced for what you get but still not bad. $57 for 3 people. No onsite parking available must pay to park near by. Won’t blame these guys for the issue I had with that either. My ticket got voided and I had to call support 2x just to get out of the garage across the street. - please note I’m an out of state visitor and didn’t know the area or where else to park without driving more one way street circles then I did just to find this gem of a place. But I’m glad I did.

We stumbled upon this place because it was close to where our conference was being held. I ordered the 3 tenders plate with ranch, mac and cheese, and potato salad. I got a water, as well. Damien was our server, and he was very nice! The food came out after about 15 minutes, and I was very excited. The food itself was delicious! The chicken had a good amount of heat, which went well with the ranch. The potato salad was creamy and savory. The mac and cheese was flavorful. The food had my nose running and wanting a lot of water, so Damien helped me out with a refill. All in all, this was an amazing experience and the food was delicious!

While the food I ate was delicious, getting it was a little bit of a problem. No one seemed to know who was supposed to be my server. Everyone was very pleasant to talk to and tried to be helpful, but there must have been some miscommunication between the staff as I sat for ten minutes before getting my order taken. Then when I went to pay after eating I had to wait again while they figured out who my server was (again) in order to pay. Not sure why that was necessary since I had the ticket that needed to be paid in my hand, but it happened. Food was good but might not be worth the hassle.

Flew in from the Bay Area and went straight to Gus’s after checking into the hotel! Good was great, and service was even better! Nikaya was kind and responsive to our requests and even gave us a small bowl of Mac and cheese to try after we mentioned it. Great job Gus’s! Y’all just got two new customers for life!

What can be said about Gus? Excellent fried chicken? Of course. Is this better than your national chains? Indeed. Is is the best one I ever had? Probably not but I cannot remember a better one. The beans were excellent and the other fixin’s were good too. I am sure the mac ‘n’ cheese has its fans, but I am not one of them. Now the star of the show is the Sweet Potato pie. Holy sweet desert. That is the perfect Pie. Balanced. Have it w/o ice cream and ask for it to be heated. The smell is intoxicating. Whatever was on your mind is gone, and your body is shaking in anticipation. You will not be disappointed. The vibes are from a 70’s restaurant. To close, don’t miss Gus if you are around.

Okay so the first time I saw Gus’s I was walking past them to go to CVS and all I smelled was the fried chicken. That’s when I knew I had to go lol Finally got around to going and I went with a friend. The menu is what you would expect from like a chicken spot somewhere in the country but the food was amazing!! I’ll be honest the chicken was spicy to me and my friend but it was so good I really didn’t care. I had the 3wings meal with potato salad and greens. Greens were great! Potato salad was mid at best, I’m not a fan of potato peels in my potato salad but that’s just me. I’m pretty sure my friend got the 2 piece meal which was a breast and a wing with Mac&cheese and greens. He said the Mac & cheese tasted like Kraft and I told him it honestly looked like Stoffers lol full sized chicken, no baby portions and our food came out really fast. I gave you them 4 stars because almost every table except like 2 had no salt & pepper or ketchup. I had to get up and go look for it. We also got fried green tomatoes and they were amazing.

Had fun visiting Gus’s for the first time during my lunch break. Our server was fun and kept a smile on our face. She was very accommodating as well. We all tried the lunch special that was very reasonably priced. The fried green tomatoes were nice and piping hot. The chicken is very crispy but could use a tad bit more seasoning. Still very good. I tried the Mac n cheese with baked potatoes. Let’s just say my plate was empty at the end. Thoroughly Gus’s.

I honestly don’t know how this food doesn’t have a 5/5 rating ; this is one of the best chicken I have eaten in my life; Also the fried green tomatoes and the sweet potatoes pie Is a must try; staff if friendly, the owner is the nicest man and you can tell he put some love in his food; we loved it so much that we bought a bucket to go on the plane the next day ahaha… don’t take my word for it , try it for yourself… fair warning : it’s spicy but just right
