“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.“

“We had a great experience until they called last call. We asked for one more drink when we she said we can only do shots. We purposely wanted mixed shots such as lemon drops and green tea shots. She told us we can only do well shots… really rude and doesn’t make a lot of sense.“

I’ve eaten 1/2 of the very generous serving and I’m stuffed. I’m gunna power through it though, because I know if I save it, one of these boys will eat it!“

I had the crab cakes and they were delish, a couple of people in my group had the fried chicken/fried catfish combo and that looks delicious as well. I highly recommend Lizzy’s Cajun Cafe.“
