Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken

The food is so good! Great comfort food and an excellent take on fried chicken!! The fact that they are always busy is a testament to the quality of the food they serve. Definitely a place people should go if they like fried chicken.

Up until today we had excellent food and service We were there at about 4:45 and only 1 other table was occupiedFood and drinks came out quickly BUT my wife's chicken was barely warm! Mine was kinda okWe brought it to the attention of the waitress and she apologized and quickly came back. With a fresh plate NOT fresh chicken. The best way to describe the second plate is that it was cold heated up in old oil. Bad taste! Bad smell And oily! We brought it to the attention of the waitress and she had the manager give us 50% off off ticket We left with a heavy lump in stomach. Not fullness Anyway it was apparent by the gossiping at the counter and in the kitchen they were not concerned with the diners or the foodWe won't be back. And would not recommend

$$$One piece of bread with chicken dinner. Stingy on beans & potato salad. Tasty chicken.

Delighted to catch up with two of our Church Boys, who are now young men with families. Gus's was a convenient location and we knew the food would be good.As usual, the chicken was fried to perfection (crispy, juicy, spicy); and the sides (beans, slaw) were great accompaniments. Service has always been good, but today we encountered Terrence (Attentive Server, Comedic Entertainer). He had us and other tables laughing every time he visited our table.

Hadn't been to this location in years. The service is ok. A little lack luster for a Friday night. I forgot the chicken is cooked to order so if you're by yourself or don't order starters, your phone is your friend. My table was not clean but I keep sanitizer in my purse so I cleaned it. Chicken was really juicy and crispy but a tad salty for my taste. Overall not bad. Give them a try.

Overall, pretty solid. A few things.... I could never own a restaurant in today's market. So, they get some grace. Wait staff don't seem to listen when you order. Mind you, the order has always been fixed, but I don't like to see a restaurant, have to eat the cost of a meal, because the order was entered wrong,Biggest point to make here, is I've been coming to various Memphis locations for the last 4 or 5 years. You have a 50/50 chance of getting fresh/hot chicken. (I mean, fresh out of the fryer)Second, over the past year or so, the chicken is starting to have a funky smell. I don't mean it's spoiled or anything, I mean, whatever farms/distribution, they get their chicken from, is feeding the chicken some weird feed mixture. (Sam thing happens with pork/bbq)Anyway, all in all, it's pretty good.

Chicken was so good and the greens, Mac and Cheese was awesome and so were the fires. We got to go so I can't really say much about service however it did take about 30 minutes to get our order. Will go again.

I heard this restaurant was a good place to get good food from. So I decided to try the order of fried pickles with ranch sauce on the side, a small order of chicken tenders with fresh seasoned fries, a 8 piece of mix chicken, a small order of Mac & cheese and a small order of fresh seasoned fries. I never had fried pickles until now and they were good. They have a good flavor by themselves but when you dip in the ranch sauce it takes it to another level. The chicken was good as well with a little spice to it which gives it extra flavor along with it being hot fresh out the grease it's a winner. The Mac & cheese was not what I'm used to which oven baked, but it was ok to go with the rest of meal. The fries was fresh and nicely seasoned and not over cooked. This place is a go to and I recommend other to try them out.

I tried this place on the advice of a friend last time I was in Memphis. It was ok but nothing over the top. I had it door dashed and it was about twenty minutes away from my hotel. Tonight I checked and saw there was one just five minutes away this time and decided to get it myself. What. A. Difference. Hands down the best fried chicken I've ever had. The cole slaw and potato salad was good too but the chicken was over the top good. The inside of the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly and I would have no problem dining in, either. Well done, Gus. Well done.
