I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here! The chicken is deliciously juicy and the spice level was enough to make my nose run, but not so much that it melted my face off! lol. It was just right. The sides were all delicious. I could’ve used a second helping of the greens! They were so flavorful. Highly recommend Gus’s. Their commitment to tradition comes through in their food! The dining room fills up fast so go early or prepare to wait.

This is a nostalgic and fun place to have great food. The dining room is great with great art and posters.
Service was great. Shorty was helpful and gave great suggestions for our time in Memphis.
The chicken is so good. Just hot enough and tender meat. Cole slaw is excellent. Sweet and crisp.

I absolutely Love Gus’s World famous fried chicken located in Memphis Tennessee at 310 S Front Street. Food is very scrumptious. Right amount of spices in the Chicken,Greens and Cole Slaw for a perfect meal. The Customer Service is Exceptional. Everyone is very friendly. This is my second time coming here. Thanks so much for the Above and Beyond food and service. I definitely will be back

This is by far the best fried chicken it is moist and juicy on the inside and crispy a little spicy on the outside the server was the nicest and very accommodating as for the sides tho with potato salad and bake bean but all were great just my preference leave room for the best pecan pie and vanilla icecream

The chicken was so good! It was freshly cooked and hot. The sides were just ok but the chicken is the star. The fried green tomatoes were pretty darn good too. We enjoyed the chess pie. Friendly staff! I would recommend you check it out.

We decided to try Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken for dinner, and it definitely lived up to the hype! I ordered the two-piece plate and swapped the baked beans and slaw for fried rice and potato salad — best decision ever.
The chicken was crispy on the outside, super moist, and perfectly cooked — juicy with just the right amount of spice. The sides were flavorful and fresh, and the service was quick and friendly.
A must-try if you’re visiting Memphis — this place truly earns its “world famous” title!

I visited Gus to try out their sides. I ordered fried okra, Mac n cheese, Cole slaw and fried green tomatoes and a slice of sweet potato pie. Pros: service was great. Staff was friendly and very helpful. I was initially told my order would take 15 minutes but it took less time than that and my food was piping hot when I received it. The pie was my favorite of all the dishes and the ranch dressing they served with the tomatoes and fried okra was excellent. Cons: Macaroni was expensive for the portion size. It was very small. It wasn’t my favorite. Cheesy but a lil too thick for me (my son liked it). The okra and tomatoes were not as enjoyable because they smelled and tasted like chicken or like it could have been cooked in chicken grease. I didn’t really taste the flavor of the tomato or the okra. I tasted mostly grease. Overall, my bill was a bit high for just sides…about 28.00. Overall, I would definitely recommend the pie and maybe even the coleslaw (although I enjoyed it more after adding the ranch dressing).

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience. Definitely feel let down by the 6000 overwhelmingly positive reviews here. I get that some places are an institution, and perhaps Gus’s used to be amazing. But the experience we had was awful.
Service took forever, the food was overpriced and overcooked. And it was a terrible value.
For example, a large order of fries was $8.50, and they were straight out of a frozen bag with a tiny bit of seasoning. Literally McDonald’s fries are better, so there is no justification for the price.
All of the chicken was also over cooked. So if you thought that fried chicken couldn’t be dry, think again.
At the end of the day, I would strongly not recommend.

I ordered a take out but while waiting I could observe how professional the staff were and how fun the atmosphere was. I ordered one piece of breast, one tender and fried tomatoes. We stayed just one block away so everything was still hot when we had it. The breast was ok. The meat was a bit plain but the skin was great! The tomatoes were delicious. The coating smelled a bit weird but overall it’s very good. The one that stole the show was the tender. The coating wasn’t heavy but it’s so crispy and hot (like from the hot pepper, not hot as in temperature). I’m not sure if it was world’s best. But it’s very good.
