Came in today for breakfast.
I love chicken fried steak for breakfast and this establishment serves up a fantastic chicken fried steak breakfast. I had mine with decaf, buttered raisin toast, poached eggs and hash browns slathered in gravy. OMG good
The most noteworthy aspect of my visit was the level of service l received from the server named Juliet.
Incredibly rare to receive such a high level of genuine old fashioned customer service in the post pandemic world of indifference, truly refreshing!

Original post:
Good old fashioned locally owned cafe.
I can't vouch for the lunch offerings, but breakfast is always top notched.
IMHO: Eating breakfast at Gus's has been a treat for many years now.

I'm a 38 year old who has been coming here since I was a kid. The food has never changed. It is the apidiemy of what a classic American dinner and their nostalgic properties. Best dinner on tucson.

Orderd a chicken fried steak with no gravy. They put gravy on it then wiped it off and tried to serv it to me. It took the cook and the waitress to agree that wiping the gravy off and serving it was a better idea then making a new one. It's unfortunate because this is a special place with a killer vintage vibe and hand breaded chicken fried steak is hard to find. Oh well it's not just this establishment service everywhere is totally trash.

Well the dining room of this restaurant was squeaky clean which I really appreciate. The bathroom eh. The service outstanding. The food though my goodness this is why you can't always trust published reviews. Food was beyond bland. Bacon as dry as chalk. Eggs overdone toast burnt black. Every one in our group felt the food was not good.

I had the ham dinner. It was delicious just like having a Sunday dinner at my parents when they were alive.
