Share your opinion about Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken
The best chicken in world.
No warning that chicken was very spicy. I had to take all of the skin off in order to tolerate the heat. The chocolate pie was good, and the people were very friendly, but they need to warn people about the spice.
The original location has a lure about it that you can feel! It’s much more a flash back to how things were pre tech takeover and 6-9 minutes the expected wait time. Food is made to order and not much tech/ tvs/ cheap fancy looking dining chairs/tables. All the food was hot and fresh after a quick 15 mins and friendly staff. Would’ve loved to see the souvenir cups and homemade ranch the other locations carry.

Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken is a beloved Southern institution that has been serving up its signature fried chicken for generations. The original location, where the recipe is still made the same way it was when the restaurant first opened, is a must-visit destination for fried chicken enthusiasts.
The chicken is hand-battered and cooked fresh to order, so customers can expect a bit of a wait, but it's well worth it. The pickle chips are thin and crisp, and the fried tomatoes are a delightful addition. For those seeking a sweet finish, the chess pie is a local favorite.
It seems to vary by location, with Memphis being the best. Gus's fried chicken is true southern fried chicken, always slappin. Customers look forward to visiting and having Gus's, as the chicken is just the right amount of heat and tastes even better the next day with waffles. It's definitely a go to.
