Loved it. We'd been…read moreto the Memphis, TN location about 10 years ago and enjoyed it. Now that we live in the DFW area, it was time to try the Fort Worth location. They are located on a corner and parking is limited. I found street parking on the side street, about a block down in front of a house. We walked inside Gus's about 11:30 am on a Wednesday. They were busy' but had a number of open tables. There are mostly square and rectangular 4-top tables. We chose one by the front windows. A moment after we sat down, our server, Joe K came by to greet us and he took our drink order. Menu's are at the table, so we studied a bit and were ready for Joe when he brought our drinks. I ordered: - Unsweetened Iced Tea - 3 Piece Dark Chicken Plate (my choice: leg, leg, thigh) with Greens and BBQ Beans My wife ordered: 2 Piece White Chicken Plate (breast, wing) with Mac-Cheese and BBQ Beans The chicken was the star for sure. The BBQ Beans weren't special but were decent. The Greens, decent. With each meal plate, the chicken is served on a slice of white bread. The chicken was fried to a deep brown and was real tasty. My dark meat was juicy and tender. My wife's white meat was drier but normal for white meat. My wife's felt the chicken skin was maybe overcooked as it was tough. It was fine to me. I ate her skin :) We'll be back to Gus's!

Great company. Good food. The wait was very long. But it was worth the wait. Meat was so crispy,…read morethe green were sweeter than I ever had them. Everyone's different, not saying they were bad. Just different. And the Mac was not my favorite. Once I saw they pour the bag of Mac n cheese in a heater. Then I was like ahh. I just figured it would be home made like the pies and chicken. Our waiter was sweet and we even had dessert. Recommend the chocolate pie warmed with ice cream. Love. Definitely not too bad. Will come back again. And try different sides.

Highly recc ordering ahead so you can skip the wait as everything is fried fresh. The spicy is the best (and not too spicy) and their skin is peak crispyness. Love getting the honey mustard. The only thing I'm not a fan of is their Mac n cheese as it was underwhelming the one time I got it.

We got the green beans, mac and cheese, corn, and fries as sides, and tried almost every sauce. Every single item was seasoned, full of flavor, and delicious--literally no notes. The chicken was extra crunchy and freshly fried. Of the sauces, we preferred their hot/buffalo the most. And don't forget about the fluffy biscuit! The restaurant was extremely busy with very few tables open, but they clear up quick. There's a short wait for your food, but that's a testament to how fresh the chicken is fried. I cannot wait to be back.

When ordering online for curbside pickup, the estimated wait time seems to mean very little. We've waited nearly twice the estimated time, only to eventually have to walk inside and let the employees know that we're there for our order anyway. By the time we go inside, our food is often just sitting there, and it doesn't seem like anyone is actively bringing it out. What's even more frustrating is that there's usually no apology or acknowledgment for the long wait. I also don't understand the purpose of ordering ahead if the food isn't actually prepared until we arrive. The whole point of ordering ahead is to have the food ready when we get there. Most other restaurants and fast-food chains begin preparing the order when it's placed, not when the customer arrives. I really hope this specific location can improve its curbside and mobile-order process. Ordering ahead should make the experience faster and more convenient--not result in a longer wait and having to go inside to find your own order.

My favorite was Gangnam but they were all really good. We probably would have been fine with 16 though! My son got an eight piece original style boneless wings, which were huge and tasty as well. Waffle fries and fried pickles were also on point. Washed it down with a bottle of peach soju that we split. Looking forward to coming back!

By 7 pm, the place was mostly full. Happy we got right in. The dining area is one very large room. Lots of tables. 4-tops, 8-tops, And round tables with lazy-Susan's. Our server, Gracie did great. We ordered and shared the following: - Chicken Tenders - Chicken Fried Steak (CFS) - Fried Chicken We enjoyed them all. The CGS isn't huge. A single eater can finish it. The Fried Chicken is a half-chicken. So that's a lot (breast, wing, leg and thigh). Easily shared unless you're really hungry. The Chicken Tenders was a pretty large order. Two person shareable in my opinion. We also asked for the Armadillo Sauce. It's sort of like a honey-mustard sauce. It was tasty on the Chicken Strips. We had leftover Tenders and Fried Chicken that we ate on the next day. A dressed salad and biscuits came out first. The salad was nothing special but it was appreciated and we ate it all. We all loved the biscuits! We asked for more when our dinner arrived and enjoyed them with honey. Both Honey and Sorghum were on the table. The sides were decent. I enjoyed the mashed potatoes and gravy. The corn and beans were 'okay'. I'd recommend Babe's to anyone who's looking for some breaded and fried chicken, steak or fish and enjoys family-style, unlimited sides.

We were cruising on Interstate 30 when I saw their name on a sign. They perked up when I pulled into the parking lot. Had there been a patio, we would have sat there since we had our canine. Instead, I left my vehicle on. Ordered. We all took turns waiting on the food and using the mostly clean restroom. I ate probably half of mine then shared with my dog outside while the girls finished inside where I could see them. There is a very nice grassy tree-shaded area out front just beyond their private parking lot. Well-manicured. The staff on 7.19.2025 was friendly and fast. The Cane's sauce was just like I remembered it from my days in California. The chicken was a bit on the greasy side for me, but nonetheless it was tender and flavorful even alone. Their crinkle fries are good to me. Sweet tea was refreshing. For three "The 3 Finger Combos" with drinks ($9.59 each) the total was $31.14. Not bad! Drive-thru available.
