    Oh my goodness, I don't know what was better. The chicken or the GREENS! I had a sample of all…read moresides available today. Baked beans, coleslaw, Mac and cheese, and greens. Ordered the special- 4 drumsticks and two sides. Had fried okra and a serving of the Mac and cheese. Hubby had the half chicken with seasoned fries and Mac and cheese. That chicken is FIRE!! In a good way ... but be warned it is served fresh hot AND spicy hot! I'm normally a wimp for the hot stuff but I toughed it out and LOVED every moment of my lips burning. I would have normally gotten a little ranch to dip, but that felt like it may be a sin at Gus's! I didn't want to insult the cook like that! If we lived closer I would order a gallon of those greens for every holiday and say it was my "special recipe Our server, Princess (the best smile ever!) was fabulous! She was quick with the refills and made suggestions on the sides. Asked if we needed a to go order and a offered an extra plate for our leftovers (1 breast and 1 leg and a bit of sides) 10 out of 10 recommend... and if you're able, request Princess! Such a great server.

    The fried chicken absolutely rocked my world. Wow! The crunch, the heat, and the juicy chicken tell…read moreme why it's famous. The collard greens were great. Hint of tang with great seasoning. The baked beans had a beautiful bbq sauce with a little heat from jalapeño. However... the other sides were completely lacking. The coleslaw tasted like it came out of a bucket. Just premade. The potato salad was overwhelmed by pickle flavoring and tasted like sweet relish. That seemed to be homemade though. The Mac n cheese was just underwhelming, unfortunately. It was missing a little something something... like soul. I can't speak on the service as I had it delivered. It came quick and hot. I was worried it the chicken was going to steam and get soggy but that was not the case. I can't speak on the ambiance since of the place either. This place was recommended by some locals so I thought I give the place a try. Stick with the chicken and you'll be safe.
