The food here matches the name! If you are looking for fresh food made to order this is your place. Sonny our waiter was super sweet.
We flew from Jacksonville. Florida and he literally treated us as family. We tipped more because of his outstanding service. Thank you Sonny!!!!!
Do not be afraid to try their catfish. It was next level good. Tastes like they caught it straight from the gulf.

I stopped by Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken for lunch on a cold January day, and it hit the spot. The restaurant is small and unpretentious—around 20 tables with a handful of bar seats—but clean and welcoming, including spotless bathrooms. There was a steady stream of takeout orders and about six tables filled when we arrived, giving it a lively but comfortable feel.
Our server, Sonny K., was fantastic—quiet, friendly, and genuinely funny, always smiling and attentive without hovering. I ordered the three-piece white meat plate with baked beans, coleslaw, and a side of fries. My wife went with the four-piece chicken wings paired with okra and coleslaw. Every bite was hot, fresh, and full of flavor.
They serve beer, but not an overcomplicated selection—32 oz tallboys of Bud, Bud Light, and an old-school malt liquor that feels just as classic as the chicken recipe itself. The portions were generous, and while we thought we might have ordered too much, the food was so good that nothing was left by the time we finished.
A nice final touch: Sonny packed us a to-go cup for our beverages, which was much appreciated. They’ve also started serving catfish, which we didn’t try this time—but that just gives us another reason to come back. Great food, fair prices, and excellent service. We’ll definitely be returning.

I absolutely loooooooove this place!! From the food which is amazing to the service. Didn’t know what to expect but was excited surprised. The lady that serviced us was super kind and attentive. The chicken was so freaking good! If you’re not sure if it’s worth it just go! It exceeded my expectations for sure! The vibe was also very nice. Did get packed very quickly and no wonder why either lol I can’t imagine this place ever empty lol fried pickles were even good. If I want chicken I know where I’m going from now on. We didn’t have any trouble with parking. Easy to get in and out. The batter is something made to perfection, that’s all I can say.

I stopped in for lunch and ordered a 2 piece plate. The chicken was fried to order and it was cooked perfectly. The chicken was perfectly crispy and moist. Service was great and I look forward to getting chicken again soon and trying more of the menu.

Visited here from dallas…. Looking for some good fried chicken…. Service was good…. Food came out in about 5 mins…. That always worry me when food comes out fast….. this is the initial plate…. We had to send the chicken back it was cold…. The second batch of chicken was freshly fried and larger….. however chicken lacks season…. For me there’s nothing really special about this chicken that warrants $15 for three wings……

One word: DELICIOUS. Some of the best, if not, the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. So crispy, fresh, and juicy. This chicken is what you expect from fast food fried chicken places but usually don’t ever get. The sides are also fantastic.
Their menu has great options but they also have a “secret menu” with other items like corn nuggets, chicken sandwiches, etc. Corn nuggets are so good too.
Service was also great and quick.
Definitely making Gus’s a part of my routine restaurants.

I love the Mac and cheese here. I ordered 2 thighs, Mac and okra. I wish I ordered double Mac. The chicken has a little bit of a kick to it. It is crispy, flavorful, juicy and fresh. Our server was great. A+ service he was so happy and helpful. Just a breath of fresh air. I need to come back soon.

Ordered for a party at new 2100 Memorial Seniors complex. Spicy Valentine’s Party. Their spicy chicken tenders are the best. Will definitely order again. WE had the mild spicy, which are truly great for Seniors.

Best fried chicken I’ve had — easily beats KFC, Popeyes, or any fast food spot. The chicken’s super juicy and the skin is perfectly crispy and flavorful. Only downside is the wait — on weekends it can take 30 minutes to an hour to get served. If you want faster service, go on a random Wednesday or Thursday; it’s way quicker
