We visited here for the first time and will definitely be back! The chicken was amazing and so were their fried pies!! The servers were friendly and kept our drinks filled. The restaurant was nicely decorated and had a light and friendly atmosphere. Try Gus's out if you haven't! You won't be disappointed!

Absolutely delicious!! Gus's definitely lives up to all the hype. The chicken is cooked fresh to order and comes out sizzling hot and perfectly crispy. I got the three piece dark plate with coleslaw and fried okra. The okra was great, with just enough salt to really set off the flavor, and the coleslaw was sweet, crunchy and refreshing. It was perfect to take a little of the heat off after eating the peppery chicken. I finished my meal off with a fried peach pie, also fresh from the fryer. The flavor was out of this world. The crust was intensely flaky and perfectly matched the soft, sweet filling. The only downside was the .50 cent upcharge to sub out sides but I won't hold that against them. All in all a wonderful meal at a reasonable price.

I expected the chicken to be spicier. It still tasted good. However I think the coleslaw and the Mac and cheese were the stars of my plate. Chicken was juicy, had to put a lot of Louisiana hot sauce for some spice. The staff there was friendly and attentive ! I had a good experience.

The chicken here is awesome, crispy juicy and a little bit spicy, but when it's all together it just works perfectly. I can't wait to go back and have some more of their delicious chicken and try the rest of the menu. If you're in the area you owe it to yourself to stop by for some of the greatest chicken on earth

They have yummy chicken with fast and great service. The place looks crowded but there was sitting place almost for everyone. I recommend to pass by if you need hot fried chicken.
