“The food is great. Really really great. The service is impeccable. (Shout out to Letty and Robert) You should go, and spend money, and tip well. These people are killing it. This should continue to be a treasured Ft. Worth Institution. Please take my money, and maybe please put the crawfish etouffee back on the menu?“

“The food is always great. I don't understand why people don't stay and have dinner inside the restaurant. Each time I have been there I am the only one sitting down enjoying food. Most people just come and order food and leave. I hope it's full during the event nights. I will definitely continue to go back for the food, but I hope the atmosphere changes from empty to a community full of dine inside customers. The restaurant is one of the best places to eat in Fort Worth. They deserve a packed house every day.“

“What can I say about this place? The food was so good I wanted to slap some body. The people or nice. I'm not from Fort Worth but if I was this would be a weekly spot for me to eat. And you might think the price is high but you will not finish your meal In one sitting. So I ate some at lunch and took the rest back to the hotel for dinner later and I still didn't finish it. Go by and check this place out it is really good.Parking: It's a parking lot with lots of spaces what more can I say.Kid-friendliness: I walked in and young kids were sitting enjoying their turkey legs.“

“Adam was our server. He was awesome. Attentive. Timely. Informative.We went for brunch on Saturday morning. Two people split everything.Drinks:Mimosa and Bloody Mary.... I didn't prefer the Bloody Mary it had a strong pickle flavor.We realized it was a better deal to buy a bottle of champagne for $46 than it was to buy $11 mimosas.Food:Biscuits 100% recommend everyone to get them.Pimento Cheese was served with a delicious bread.Fried Chicken (split between two bc it is 3 big boneless chicken thighs) was delicious. The honey sauce and the kale and apple salad are amazing.Crispy Brussel Sprouts is big enough for two servings each.Grits: was very disappointed... it was basically creamed corn. I expected much better from a southern restaurant. Especially since everything else was so good.We will ? be back.“

“This has got to be the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Normally, you need to have bone in chicken to keep it juicy and tender. How they do it with boneless is beyond me. The flavors are just jaw dropping. So gland they also brought back gravy!I’ve been coming here since they have opened and I can tell you the quality hasn’t changed. Still top notch standards. Great place!“

“Not sure what's going on with the hours of operation but, the website is showing business is open. Drove all the way from Saginaw, TX. Pulled in the VACANT parking lot just to see a small hand written note stating business will be closed until January 23rd. I visited the restaurant just before Christmas and the hostess told me and other customers they would be back in full operation on January 16th. Keep in mind if you decide to eat here and you don't have any issues burning your gas driving, you may want to call ahead and that's only if they answer the phone. Food quality is very good. I will give them that.Parking: Parking lot is only big enough for 3-4 cars max . very dangerous parking out on the curbside.“

“After 6yrs I found myself at Gus Chicken after attending an event nearby. I’ve come to the conclusion that this establishment sticks to their recipe. I respect that! The place has an old fashion cozy feel. I ordered the exact meal I ordered 6yrs ago and it tasted exactly the same. I’m still not a big fan of the chicken. You either like it, somewhat like it, or you don’t. The fried green tomatoes are delicious! I will go back when I have a craving for them. I enjoyed my overall meal and the staff were amazing.“

It was such a good suggestion! The menu is on a tablet on the other side of the counter by the restrooms but it's easy to use! The manager was so awesome and helpful! I got the double chicken sandwich and it was fresh and so delicious! The Mac and cheese was amazing and the pickles are soo good! The cucumber jalapeño lemonade was the perfect addition to it. For dessert we got the banana pudding and that was the perfect sweetness to finish the meal! I would definitely recommend coming here again! Fresh food and great service!“

“Michael's is the place to go on Tuesday nights for their famous Prime Rib. We'd heard a lot about it and finally got our chance to enjoy a wonderful evening here. The service was great. Our server knew all about the menu and was very helpful in answering questions. I asked for an end cut of prime rib. I really like the crispy outside, and although its usually a little more toward the medium well side, it was delicious. My hubby ordered a 12 ounce portion, medium to medium rare. It arrived perfectlycooked and nestled on a bed of the best mashed potatoes around. The gravy was hot and flavorful as well.We'll be back soon to try more of the menu items. I know we can't go wrong!“

They got our food out fast and no one had complaints about anything! They had what seemed to be the entire staff bringing food. Even the manager (I did not get any names) I am sorry for that. But the waitress gave us all full compassion. Thank you so much for the great service with our HUGE crowd. We did not have reservations but they gave us an entire room to ourselves. We had an amazing experience. Thank you again!“
