First time at Gus’ and it won’t be the last!
I was visiting from out of town and decided to stop by — so glad I did! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was excellent. What really made the experience stand out was the service. Kim was my server and she was absolutely awesome — friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. She really went above and beyond. If you’re in the area, don’t miss this spot. Thanks, Gus’, and thank you Kim!

The chicken came out hot, crisp, and juicy with just the right touch of spice. Sides like baked beans and slaw rounded things out simply but well. The no-frills setting kept the focus squarely on the food, and it delivered.

I ordered a chicken breast & two legs, potato salad, and a slice of pecan pie. The food was ok, nothing to go out of your way for. One thing to note: unlike many restaurants, the food was hot when it got to my table. It literally melted the plastic fork I was given to eat my food.

This is my updated review concerning the best food you can get in Memphis. Drove all the way from Chicago and i cant say enough how amazing the chicken is but also the new catfish items!! You never had catfish this good so get up here to support the best in the business !🔥🔥🔥
Save some room for pie and ice-cream!!

Good and pretty consistent but when they start adding the seasonings back to the food it will be amazing again. Pretty bland now a days. :/

I have been to 5 Gus’s locations and each have different atmosphere but the same fresh, hot, delicious chicken. My family enjoyed the baked beans and macaroni and cheese. I always recommend this restaurant to anyone from out of town. Gus’s has a long legacy and history. I hope they don’t change that.

If you’re in Memphis and craving some legit fried chicken, Gus’s Fried Chicken is a must. The chicken here is next level—juicy inside with a perfectly crispy, spicy coating that hits just right. You can taste the seasoning in every bite.
I also tried the fried okra and sides, and they were just as impressive—fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Everything on the plate delivered.
Service was friendly and fast, and the whole experience felt welcoming and authentic. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this spot should be on your list. Southern comfort food at its best. 🔥🍗
