The staff here are beyond amazing! Very friendly and conscientious to food allergies and dietary restrictions, plus had plenty of recommendations and advice, relatively quick service and the food was really good too!

Skippity dippity doo! This place was lit. I was so glad to hear Gus’s was in California. Top notch fried chicken as always. Great sides, particularly the okra and the greens. All the fried stuff had that great crunch you’re looking for. And of course, you gotta end with some pie. Only thing missing was some southern iced tea.

One of the best fried chicken spots! Not only is the chicken on point and cooked perfectly every time, but each table comes with its own bottle of Louisiana. so no need to ask for tons of hot sauce. Mac and cheese fire too!
