Great service and German food! The apple strudel is to die for.

I do love German food! I had the Jager SchnitzelI, the sauce with mushrooms and onions was made nicely, along with the red cabbage. The staff and the environment was welcoming, and gave the warm family feeling that we all love.. Furthermore my husband had the porterhouse steak which is few and in-between to find in regular local places. I must say it was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Gus's food is definitely worth eating again. Kudos to a place that has been around since 1934! 👏

Excellent old school German/American restaurant/tavern. The food and service were both fantastic. They serve a smaller menu for lunch. They have Spaten and Franziskaner Hefeweizen on tap. I recommend the Schnitzel, the Sauerbraten, and the strudel. They have parking off street.

Has that local tavern feel which was cool. The beer was nice and cold…the bread was fantastic. Rest of the food was, well…terrible. Schnitzel was almost paper thin, no seasoning and super dry. Instant, yes, Luke warm instant mashed potatoes and literally a table spoon of gravy on it..cabbage tasted processed - too sweet. Our other meal was bad too - corned beef tasted off and most of it wasn’t finished.

We were so looking forward to our visit but from the moment we arrived our excitement bubble was deflated. This experience was so bad we actually thought we were part of a candid camera skit. Arrived and greeted, ‘reservation hun’? (That was the first of probably a dozen times I was referred to as hun or honey). I said no, she turned to the other waitress and started discussing. We stood there not knowing if we needed one to sit, mind you, there were just two other tables. I asked if we needed one and she said no, we are just trying to figure out where to sit you so we said we would sit at the bar ~ huge mistake, should have walked out then and there. My husband asked what draft beer they had, waitress said none as cooler was broken, she proceeded to ramble on how she misses it as it acted as a shelf. We placed our order for pancakes, pierogies and eggplant napoleon. As we waited for our food the two waitresses were discussing the drinking habits of a reserved table that was due in, just seemed so unprofessional. Waitress had given us share plates and silverware but came by with two more share plates, when the food came out I had to push the abundance of share plates out of the way to make room. As we were eating our food, a gentleman came out of the kitchen and started arguing with the other waitress, from the way everybody was speaking to each other all I can assume is that they were related. We asked for the check so we could leave. To add insult to injury, the food wasn’t that good and very overpriced ~ potato pancakes were soggy, no crispness or seasoning, pierogies again, no taste but the kraut was nice, eggplant was nice but very greasy. 3% service fee added to check, I assume because it was card but nobody said that to us. An hour and $100 we will never get back for this most awful experience.

Highly recommend the house made bratwurst! Though I ordered a mix just to sample what they had, hands down theirs won the prize. Their mustard is house made too! What a treat!
Lobster bisque was the soup of the day, and since it was my first time there, I had to have it. Wow! Flavorful and definitely made with real lobster (I even caught some shell in there so I know it was genuine. Thumbs up)

A great meal after a decent hike in the gunks. Recommended.

We are traveling in Newburgh for a camping trip and ordered take out from Gus’s. We were so pleased. Potato pancakes were delicious and huge! Then we got the pork schnitzel and a chef salad. Really big portions and was really happy with the quality. Absolutely recommend!
