Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken has locations in Memphis and the L.A. area, with some reviewers favoring the taste and juiciness of the chicken in L.A. The chicken is well-known for its unique crust, crispy skin, and slightly spicy flavor, featuring a noticeable kick from the paprika in the batter. Reviewers enjoy sides such as potato salad, okra, and mac and cheese, with the greens receiving mixed reviews. While the coleslaw was described as decent but not special, some considered the greens bland. The fries were less popular, but fried pickles and pecan pie received positive mentions, as well as the delicious chicken being praised for being juicy and fresh, served piping hot. Many customers appreciated that each table comes with its own bottle of Louisiana hot sauce, making it easy to add heat. Although prices are on the higher side, reviewers generally felt that the tasty chicken was worth the splurge. The staff is described as amazing, friendly, and conscientious about food allergies and dietary restrictions, providing quick service and helpful recommendations. The restaurant is noted for being clean, and many agree that parking can be a bit tough to find, but it is well worth the effort for great fried chicken.
