“Chicken was delicious as always, first time we had the mac and cheese definitely will go back for that! Was not a fan of the greens, I like extreme flavor of my greens, but Tanner brought out some vinegar something that helped give it a bit more of a bite! Okra is always my favorite! Even if I order nothing else from Gus's I will always order the okra. Yes it's high-priced but everything is high-priced anymore, no matter where you go. Thanks again Tanner we will definitely be back if not for the great service, for the fried okra, chicken and now the mac and cheese!“

“The place was BUSY however the wait was less than 15 minutes. Prompt service and the Key Lime Shrimp and chicken over rice was delicious. I waited to order the onion rings until 10 minutes before we were ready to leave so I could share with family members at home. My friends said weekends are always crowded here but the food is worth the wait.“

“Great Food, Very friendly staff. Fast service and great customer service. We will definitely be back. Thanks for great experience. Danny.“

“Just happened to stumble across this place and so glad we did! I was a little worried after reading some of the other reviews but this place really blew us out of the water, including my super picky and hard to please 12yo daughter, which never happens. We had fried okra & fried pickle apps, both delicious and loved by everyone. The shrimp and grits were amazing and they even added a fried egg on top at my request; the smothered chicken with brussel sprouts and green beans were also wonderful. My kid said she really liked the peach chicken and waffles which is actually incredibly high praise from her. She also loved her golden mule mocktail and the blue mountain coffee was honestly the best coffee I’ve had in a while. Lastly, I can’t say enough great things about our server Colin. His service was wonderful, very attentive without being overbearing. Could not recommend this place more highly and can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. I’d eat here again tomorrow!“
