Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken

I visited here like 12pm Feb 13. ofc I loved a meal, the thing what's more important to me is a guy who served me was really good guy. I was kinda nervous to have lunch in America but, he was so nice and icebreaker to me. i don't remember his name but thank you so much I really appreciate it

I've been on a vision quest lately to find the best fried chicken this country has to offer, and I'm tired. Bad fried chicken will completely ruin your day, and even good fried chicken doesn't sit well. My stomach has been begging for a break.

I dragged myself to Gus's per countless recommendations, just going through the motions a bit. However, when I opened the togo box, my zest for life came back. It felt like opening one of those chests in the Legend of Zelda. I couldn't even believe my eyes that fried chicken could be this beautiful.

A tight, crunchy reddish-brown skin that looked like an asteroid. To the touch, you could hear a snap crackle pop. Upon first bite of the breast, a blast of juice exploded and revealed a perfectly cooked, tender breast. Euphoria.

Gus's made me realize I have never had GREAT fried chicken. I was legitimately floating after this meal. As of penning this, there is Gus's Fried Chicken, and then everyone else.

This review is coming from an avid home cooker. The experience and taste may differ from those who dine out more often.

I started with the Fried Green Tomatoes. They were good for what they were. Then for my entree, I had a 3 piece wing with beans, greens, and the Mac & cheese. My guy had the same but had fries instead.

It was a slow business day, so I am assuming that's why we could smell that the grease wasn't fresh while waiting for our food and when our food arrived, the chicken reflected just that. I think on a good day, the fry and taste of the chicken would be decent.

The beans were too sweet to stomach; the greens were literally boiled greens in ham hock water, no seasoning at all. The macaroni and cheese was just that, macaroni noodles and cheese. I think there was paprika sprinkled on top but provided no additional taste to the macaroni. The fries were super salty.

For dessert, we finished with the chocolate chess pie, and in both of our opinions, was the best part.

The waiters and the staff were nice. The establishment was clean.

Im only here to give advice. Change your grease and use less salt. Our chicken was cooked in old grease and over cooked so it made it extra salty. And nobody needs that much lawrys on the fries. However the greens could use some salt and pepper. The chocolate cake is pretty good tho

First off the place smells like cat pee, which is strange. The bathroom was kinda a mess. The servers and staff were friendly and attentive, by far the best part.

The chicken sandwich I got was the worst cut of chicken lol. It was dry, stringy, tough, had both dark and white meat in it, I didn't even finish it. I did also get a leg alacart and it was solid. Mac and cheese and beans were good. Pretty pricey at over $40 for 2 sandwiches and 2 small sides with no drinks.

I don't know where to park here either I just parked probably illegally in a neighboring strip mall.

The food was served on paper plates and we were given plastic utensils. This would be fine if the food was actually good.

The mac n cheese was clearly kraft, the collard greens were extremely bland, and the chicken was nothing special. The prices were also ridiculous, KFC and Popeyes have MUCH better chicken at much lower prices.

On the other hand, their ranch was excellent.

I will say the service was very good, I felt very welcomed.

Wonderful hidden gem in Los Angeles Don't let the outside fool you. Very clean nice restaurant inside. Plenty of room to Dine in. Real Delicious Fried Chicken, wonderful deserts. Chicken is flavored to the Bone. It's hard to find real, well seasoned fried chicken. Some restaurants are selling fake cloned chicken. Gus's is worth the trip.
