Sweet Potato Pie - Three piece chicken dark plate; mashed potatoes in gravy with the sweet potatoes casserole

The place is nice. The service is welcoming, but the food would be a choice if you didn't feel…read morelike cooking. I had the three piece dark chicken with the sweet potatoes casserole and mash potatoes with gravy. The mashed potatoes had quite a few lumps and everything kind of gave a powdery taste (gravy, casserole, and mashed potatoes). When I say powdery... I'm saying that it just wasn't giving "homemade". It's not intolerable but it's not what you look for when you go to a soulfood restaurant. I also wasn't a fan of the wait. We have some made to order items so it was understood about the 20 minute wait, but we didn't get our food until almost an hour after paying. The extra time waiting seemed to be due to fried green tomatoes not being made in tandem with the fried chicken. As a result, everything was luke warm by the time we got the food. It's truly sad because the flavor is definitely there. The texture, the powdery residual taste and the wait time leaves me at this place being a one time experience at the least and a, "if I had to" at the most.

The staff was very kind and welcoming. The food was so much better that I expected and it resolved…read moremy rather bad day. I ordered the catfish with a side of mac and cheese and green beans. The catfish is made to order, was perfectly crispy and well seasoned. Definitely top 3 catfish meals for me in the area. The mac and cheese was some of the best I have had. It was creamy and savory, it wasn't too fatty and had a firm texture. It was definitely the highlight of the meal. The green beans had a bit of a mushy texture but I really enjoyed regular green beans. The meal comes with a side or cornbread which was filling , fluffy and sweet. Fantastic soul food for me. The banana pudding was also delicious. You can also actually taste banana not just sugar. The people working there were honestly so kind and chill. They knew what to recommend and added to the dining experience. My only criticisms come with how some of the food is prepared for example the green been texture being on the mushy side is likely due to it being presented similarly to a buffet. I was also unable to have a whisky due to the bar being closed however it was 2pm on a weekday. Overall great experience

We went to Memphis, a long way away from home, and pulled into our hotel for the evening. Out front…read morewas another location for Gus. We chuckled, thinking "world famous"? After a couple of days we found ourselves traveling to Mississippi, and wanted something different than the usual fare. My wife noted that there was another location for Gus, so we decided to give it a shot. We were greeted by Kesha, who was filled with joy and Southern hospitality. We explained it was our first time, and got some guidance, and decided to go with what they were famous for, fried chicken. The three of us chose different options for our sides, with the idea of sampling around. For each of us, just one bite into the chicken, said that we were in a different world. The potato salad was heavenly, the fried okra was scrumptious, the coleslaw was legendary, and we each had our chance to sample sweet potato pie, and fall in love with all of the flavors. This is a proven diamond mind of how to treat people right and make great food. We have a location about 30 minutes from our home, and we are looking forward to many return visits to this very delicious recipe. We may never have heard of this before, but it is now distinctly famous to us.

Ive been wanting to try and it does not disappoint. Everything was top notch and perfect. They had…read morea $3 PBR! My chicken, 2 dark, was HOT and HOT. Perfect amount of spice and so crunchy. My greens were out of this world. Tried the tenders. So generous and a different flavor but equally good. The other sides; hush puppies, slaw, potato salad and beans were a great supporting cast. Our server was so patient and friendly. This was everything I wanted on my first visit! 10s across the board.

This was our first time here. I've driven past that several times, but I'm certainly glad that we…read morestopped in today. First, and most important, the food was hot and tasty. And it served quickly. That's always nice. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. And the young lady behind the counter was pleasant.

"How the South does fast food!" That's the slogan and I'll be damned if this isn't the best…read moresouthern fast food anywhere around these parts! It's a brilliant concept really. It's a meat and three kind of place with many options of proteins and veggies to choose from. It's a larger and more diverse menu than you will find at any place that is quick like this. It's way nicer inside than any other fast food place, that's for sure. Great color scheme. Floor plan flows well. You can see where to access the bevs, condiments, and rest rooms easily. I personally like these the best in this order: Fried Fish Baked Wings Fried Pork Chop Pinto Beans Corn Cornbread Chicken & Dumplings Sweet Potato Casserole Mac & Cheese Mashed Potatoes They also have: Baked fish and chicken Greens Potato Salad Black Eye Peas Fried Okra Broccoli Casserole Fries Fried Broccoli and many more... Food flies out of the kitchen fast, I am not sure how they do it and keep it all so fresh! The people are super friendly and most helpful. Smiles on everyone's faces makes you know that they are happy and taken care of by management and the owners. I'll be back for sure! Enjoy my years of fried food pictures below! Tehehe '25 - 8/111
