This was my second time visiting Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken, with my first experience being…read moreat their East Atlanta location. This time around, I stopped by the Downtown Memphis location, which is tucked away in a residential area not too far from Beale Street. A little off the beaten path, but definitely worth the trip. Now, let's talk about the experience. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted or acknowledged. A few employees made eye contact, but nobody said a word. I eventually learned from another customer that it was a seat-yourself establishment. Interesting! LOL. However, the moment I sat down, someone came right over to take my order. I guess everybody strictly stays in their lane around here! I ordered the three-piece white meat meal with coleslaw, baked beans, and a small side of mac and cheese. BABY, that chicken was GOOD! Everything came out in a timely manner, piping hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The chicken was seasoned just right, and the portions were generous. Exactly what I was looking for! Another thing I appreciated was the cleanliness. Both the dining area and restroom were clean and well-maintained. The prices were also very reasonable, especially considering the quality and amount of food you receive. My only real criticism is the initial customer service experience. A simple greeting or acknowledgment when someone walks through the door goes a long way. Other than that, I enjoyed my visit. Would I return? ABSOLUTELY! The food speaks for itself, and Gus's continues to deliver on that front.

Huey's is famous for their homemade ranch and it has never failed me. This location has live music from time to time. And love the decor is Memphis themed!

Tommy's Burger provides some really good, traditional diner style burgers. The burgers are…read morehumongous and definitely worth the $10-12 price tag. Obviously, they taste good too. Amazing? I'd say they're really good based on the size it comes in. The Philly Cheesesteak was also really good too. My biggest complaint would definitely be the onion rings. Both the batter and onions seemed low quality. It seems like they use a fried catfish style batter for the onion rings which didn't work for us. Plus, the onions were very thick, which affects the outcome of a good onion ring for obvious reasons. Too bad. But big shout out to the servers here. They were all very sweet and helpful. Would definitely recommend giving Tommy's a try, minus the onion rings.

The cook was not observant and we had to have one of our burgers remade. The cleanliness ranked zero... the bathrooms were something out a horror film and everything was covered in their famous 100 years old grease- Even the salt and pepper shakers.... The service was spotty at best. We had to ask if we sit down to order or if we were to order at the counter. The mandatory 20% gratuity is a little audacious but I can understand if they are tired of getting stiffed by ungrateful diners. There is an additional 3% penalty for using a card as well. We paid $20 to park, ate $40 worth of food ($50 with tax and the mandatory tip). This was not a $70 experience. I feel robbed.
