About Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken
Recent Reviews
I'm not sure what the criteria is to be called world famous but it's not worth the drive. if Harold's is closer go there.
the chicken was good, a bit spucy..I've had way better Mac N Cheese and Potato Salad.. like way better...I paid $19 for 3 pieces of chicken with the 2 sides, a tip, parking and four this $30 to eat 3 pieces of chicken.
I could have had two 6 wing dinners at Harold's for this.
the chicken is okay. it's just a touch too spicy for me I wish they had another option. fried okra was delicious. staff was super friendly. I may or may not go back
really great food and great service
