Story

At Gus's we're all about the food. Gus's restaurants are low-key with a southern flare where you will hear soulful classics emitting from the jukebox. Many people call Gus's a "blues-infused southern eatery." At Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken we focus on the chicken. We begin by using quality chicken which is treated to our special preparation techniques before being marinated in our proprietary batter. Once it's properly fried to a crisp golden-brown, we serve it up with a plate full of southern inspired sides and a cold beer or sweet tea. The result? Customers line up at our door before we're even open.

I went to Memphis for BBQ hunting, but Gus's Fried Chicken was the highlight of the trip. The line is long. We ordered to go and ate outside. The chicken was so good. Crunchy, crispy, spicy and flavourful all the way to the bone. Typically fried chickens at other places, they are salty on the skin but no flavor in the inside. Not at Gus's. Unfortunately, I went to their franchise in Austin, it is not the same as the original.

Delicious. Some of the best fried chicken I've had. Crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Coleslaw was great as well as the macaroni and cheese. I also had fried pickles (spears). I walked out of Gus's bursting at the seams because I had to try the chess pie. Great consistency with a nice flaky crust. If you're in Memphis you really should make a point to go.

Was here for a business trip and recommend by a fellow co-worker. This place was packed! We took one of the last tables open and was waited on immediately. Our food came out fast and fresh and they make all their pies which were delicious. I'm so glad we were able to dine in while we were here visiting. Its nice to know that they have a location in my hometown as well. YUM!

I love some Gus’s fried chicken! This place is not fancy, but it’s amazing. The chicken is spicy though, so if you can’t handle a little heat, this might not be your place. The restaurant is small and the crowd is large, so there’s sometimes a lengthy wait. It’s definitely worth the wait though. Mmm. Gus’s. I think I’ll be there now!
