We order 8 pc. Chicken order with 3 additional wings, 6 pc. of bread, medium beans, Mac, potato salad and fried okra. Everything we order was below Luke warm and had no crunch. Make sure you ask for your order to be made fresh.

I’ve seen Gus’s all over Southern California, but I’ve never seen a location in the Bay Area
The food was really good. Chicken was extra crispy and had a lot of flavor to it. The two piece is probably the best go to item. The pieces of chicken are big and juicy. They season it very well.
The chicken sandwich is a good go to for eating on the go. I thought it was a little dry, but I still enjoyed the sandwich.
Staff were cool and friendly. They brought us extra napkins and sauces. They created convo and were cracking jokes. Cool guys.

aight, we won’t play like the chicken doesn’t slap and it’s EXPENSIVE! i get it inflation and chicken that doesn’t glow in the dark.
BUT, money is being spent, and for the customer service to be NONEXISTENT?!? what the helly?!?
not a “hi” “welcome” “can we help you” “thank you” “come again”
NOTHING.
gotta find a new spot that actually cares about the food and the folks.

Picked up Billy Whiteshoe's Johnson up in San Pablo, and we were headed down to Oaktown to eat at fried chicken at Willie's. All the sudden some dude pulls up next to us at the red light, and outta nowhere start yakin about Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken Restaurant! He says it's the best in Alameda County!
So..Billy asks him..Where is this mystical place, and he says follow me, so we did. And, you know what, he was right! The chicken was Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆

I go here alot but today I don't know what happened. The.chicken tastes as if we're Refried in old burnt chicken grease. Also, possible recipe changed, extremely salty now.

I can't remember the last time I had fried chicken that was this good. They make it to order so it takes a little longer. But it comes out hot and crunchy. The chicken itself is juicy, they must brine it or something. I also think their story is pretty great.

We entered around 5pm and ordered 8-pc spicy fried chicken. It was 20-min wait but totally worth it. Hot, juicy, crispy, flavorful... highly recommended.
