    This place has been on my to-try list for a while and I decided to finally try it during my lunch…read morebreak and it was the best choice I could have have ever made. I had it on Thursday and it is currently Sunday and I'm driving back to have it again. 10/10, I can't wait to try everything! Service was good and the business was cute too!

I've been there once or twice over the years, and I've eaten from the food truck once or twice. The fried chicken is fine but kinda underwhelming. It's good, but not to the point where it justifies the price. It's served on a metal tray, on a piece of wax paper, as if it were premium Texas barbecue, but at the end of the day, it's not barbecue. It's just fried chicken. The dirty little secret of fried chicken is that it's not especially hard to make decent-quality fried chicken. They sell it at gas stations, in grocery stores. Popeyes employees lacking in basic life skills, whom you wouldn't trust to make a cup of coffee, routinely crank out a product as good as anything else you can get in a restaurant. Not that I'm complaining. I love Grace! It's where I go when my "bad" cholesterol is too low and the balance in my checking account is too high. I'm at a problematic and yet gratifying state of equlibrium after yesterday's visit. I already kinda knew that I wasn't going to bother with the chicken, but I could hardly read the menu. I almost went with a half-chicken just to avoid having to squint. They've got one of those backlit screens, like at a McDonald's (where everyone just uses the kiosk now anyway), but with worse fonts and less line-spacing. I'm sure they paid a premium for it back in '06 or whatever. Everything in this place is peak stomp clap-era millennial optimism, from back when guys were dressing as lumberjacks. Of course there's a random, incongruous smash burger on the menu. They may or may not be playing Mumford & Sons on the Muzak. I figured the chicken sandwich, called the OG Crispy, would be a good opportunity to compare it to the famous chicken sandwich at the aforementioned Popeyes. Also, it comes with fries, which spared me from having to take out a loan on my house to purchase them a la carte. At $16 (I think), it'll definitely run you, but in general, the prices here seem less ridiculous than they used to. It's still entirely too much, but somehow not much more than you'd spend at a fast food restaurant. Are the fries that come with a sandwich the same size that they are if you order them separately? Supposedly, the a la carte side feeds two. I couldn't imagine two people sharing the side that comes with the OG Crispy. Someone might get cut! It was a perfectly fine size for just me. They're seasoned with some sort of blend that's heavy on the black pepper. I would have been fine with just salt, but this was no dealbreaker. The OG Crispy was great! Was it better than the chicken sandwich at Popeyes? It's hard to say. It's probably a better quality piece of chicken. Similar size. Expertly prepared: nice and crisp on the outside and not overcooked on the inside, which is key for white meat. You're given the choice of regular or hot. I of course went with the hot. I wish the sauce had more tang to it, but it was surprisingly and delightfully hot. Spicy foods in non-ethnic restaurants are so often nerfed, for children and, erm, non-ethnics. A few people at my table had the po boys, both shrimp and catfish. They looked really good, and not as skimpy as they look in some of the photos posted here. I might have to try one, once my LDL subsides and my financial situation recovers. Sandwiches might be the thing to get here. Not that you can truly go wrong with anything.

    I was excited to give this place a try since I've heard really great things. But going into this…read morewith high expectations, my overall experience fell flat. The chicken was good. Fried evenly, seasoned nicely and it had a little kick to it. I enjoyed it. The sides though were a different story. I had the collards and potato salad. Both were seasoned, but not to my liking. Not to say that they were bad, as everyone prepares their sides a little different. But the collards had a hint of sweetness and it just wasn't for me. The potato salad as well was missing a little something, in my opinion. The meal also came with a slice of bread but I didn't use it. Kind of felt like a waste. My order was for pickup so I didn't get the full experience of dining in, but overall I would still say that it's a nice place worth visiting. I would go again but would try some different sides.

    My husband picked up an order from Gus's yesterday, and when he got home, we realized that nine…read moredrumsticks were missing -- a major part of what we paid for. We had the receipt and even took a photo of exactly what we received to document the mistake. I then drove 10 miles back (one way) to the restaurant to get it corrected. Instead of checking the receipt, looking at the photo, or even taking a moment to understand the situation, the manager accused us of lying and refused to replace the missing food. No apology, no attempt to verify the order, nothing. What should have been a simple fix turned into an unnecessarily disrespectful interaction. Mistakes happen, but the way customers are treated afterward matters. Driving 20 miles round‑trip with proof in hand only to be dismissed and blamed is unacceptable. We've enjoyed Gus's before, but after this experience, it's hard to trust that orders will be handled accurately -- or that concerns will be treated with basic respect.

The food was absolutely delicious--full of flavor and exactly what you'd hope for from a spot serving Southern cuisine. Every dish felt fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service by the owner, Kyle. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout the visit. It created a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere from start to finish. If you're looking for great Southern food paired with top-notch service, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

The other customers were all friendly and made conversation too. Lots of people grabbing a bite to eat here before heading upstairs to the Attic for live music. Now the food! Damn, that was good. I had the special, crawfish and shrimp creole. It had a lot of flavor and just the right kick from the spices. The rice was perfectly fluffy, and I couldn't stop eating the hush puppies. If you're here, grab dat hurricane too. I could sip on that all day, especially in the summer.
