    Chicken has better flavor than KFC but definitely more oily. Fish was just okay. This location must be newer as it looked fairly clean. Service was actually pretty good. They have a TV too.

    This is the crumbled mess

Nice cozy place, perfect setting for fried chicken. I am sure they had other stuff, but that was the mission for this visit. Started with fried pickle spears, probably the best I have ever had, no joke. Perfect coating, taste and preparation. I like the spears vs the chips. Had the special which was to legs and two thighs for the price of the 3 pc dark. Beans and slaw. Ok, the chicken was great, moist, seasoned, very well cooked. I will go out of my way to go here for the chicken. Beans, canned with a little flavor added, nothing to brag about the slaw was pretty good. The fries on my friend's plate looked great. Perfect. We got here at about 1145, the place was busy. By 1215, it was packed, but they move people through and do a booming take out. Try it, you will like it. It satisfied my fried chicken desire and. Am set for a bit, but still want to go get more!!

    When there's only 1 main entree on the menu, you know it's got to be good! Gus's World Famous Fried…read moreChicken is truly world famous, as this place is always packed with local folks and visitors alike. I enjoyed their fried chicken, which for around $12, came with a thigh and leg, along with ample amounts of coleslaw and fried okra. Even I, as a voracious eater, could not finish all the sides. The chicken itself was beautifully fried in peanut oil, and truly one of the best, juiciest, fried chicken pieces I have ever had. This place is an example of simplicity at its finest. If you are in Houston and craving some down to earth fried chicken, Gus's is the place to go!

It doesn't feel overly greasy at all either. ***Cilantro sauce --- this is a very noteworthy sauce here. The sauce is rich and cream by but not overbearing while the cilantro flavor is very pronounced and refreshes the palate. ***Fries - EXTREMELY crispy!!! This is honestly one of the best rides I've ever had. It's well seasoned and not overly salted at all. The crunch on every bite is amazing! It could not get any better. ***Sandwich (level: honey butter) --- honey butter was a bit lackluster in flavor and texture. Of note, the Whataburger honey butter sauce is much better. The staff here are extremely friendly. Elizabeth was very cheerful and helpful. This added to our pleasant experience and energy. Parking may be a bit tricky depending on what time of the day you go. May have to park further away and walk to the restaurant.

For me the waffles were too sweet with a dusting of sugar on top of an already sweet waffle so that was a meh for me. The fries were good, very crispy and lasted throughout the meal. Got a strawberry milkshake was good-thick and sweet to cut through any heat.

This vibey spot has "Nashville" Hot Chicken as the Star of the show. From sandwiches to wings, nuggets/bites to tenders, hotdogs, loaded fries and Mac n' Cheese, etc the heat is on (or not). You can get your chicken with no heat or go for the full 3-alarm fire, if you can handle it! Tastebuds beware! Upon entering the establishment it felt stuffy and warm due to no air circulation. I was considering leaving because of how uncomfortable it felt inside - I was ready to get my food to go and after being handed a coupon from a Hangry's employee, I hung in there and immediately used the paper as a makeshift fan to provide some relief while I made my order. Thankfully the owner/manager must have noticed me fanning and turned on the AC. Whew! With air now pumping through the vents I changed my mind and went ahead to make my dine-in order. I decided on the loaded Mac n' Cheese (topped with chicken, no heat, because I'm a big baby when it comes to spice, even the jalapeños I had to put to the side...lol). There was little Mac as it was buried under the pile of fried chicken - it was decent but I would have loved there to be more of a balanced ratio of Mac to Chicken. The chicken did had good flavor, tender bite with a nice crisp on the outside. The portion size overall was huge, I could not finish it all and had to take my food to go. Overall, the inside decor of this new location was nice and artsy with a colorful wall mural and table art, very fun. When it comes to price, it's not that cheap, however for about $17 for this meal you do get a lot of bang for your buck. I think the students, faculty and staff on the UH campus will like this place especially once they know it's there. Where Nashville meets Houston...It's worth checking out. Enjoy!
