Great spicy fried chicken. Had the original in Memphis and I think this location is better. I would say this is the best casual restaurant in Kansas City. Very consistent. Friendly, attentive staff, we are repeat customers and will continue to be. I tell folks visiting KC to pass up the gas station BBQ place and treat yourself at Gus's. Love it.

Great chicken. Not too spicy but there is some heat. Chicken was hot and juicy and the sides were good.
Parking: Parking is in the front and side of the restaurant. Plenty of parking available.

Saw an ad that said Gus Chicken was the best chicken in Mo. So on a trip to the Dr. We tried it. It is the best. Our server Krissy was great and so was the AGM Traci. Spicy and juicy! Definitely the best chicken! We went to the one at 2816 W 47th St. KCK.
