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!

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.

Went for the biscuits, but our very wise waitress, Adriana, warned us that the biscuits were made with lard. Well that knocked out a bunch or breakfast options. She was so sweet and actually went to the kitchen and marked the menu pointing out lard-free menu choices. On the menu. Using black ink dots. Above and beyond. So we regrouped our breakfast plans and went mainly vegetarian. The Herbivore was absolutely delicious! Antebellum cheese grits topped with garlicky kale, romanesco and a soft boiled egg. We added a second egg. Split with my hubby. So good!! My sister-in-law had the brioche French toast. French toast topped with honey better, fresh berries and pecan granola. Served with maple syrup. Amazing! Added the duck fat breakfast potatoes. Who knew that the flavor would be so enhanced with the onions, peppers and duck fat. Get this side! Not a coffee drinker, but my hubby really enjoyed the coffee that is sourced from Cusco, Peru. Adriana made sure that the cups were always full and hot. Thank you for the VIP service at Fixe Southern House. Resident discount applied. Born from Opelousas, Louisiana, breakfast served with a huge helping of southern hospitality.

We started with the biscuits and cinnamon roll. I would recommend both. The biscuits came with a jam, honey and whipped butter. The cinnamon roll, which may look a bit underwhelming had a such a great crispy texture on the outside while still being fluffy on the inside. The icing wasn't too sweet and complimented the roll nicely. For the table, we had the pollo frito biscuit w/duck fat potatoes, Brisket Benedict w/okra and the Fixe Breakfast entree w/maple sausage and potatoes. The pollo Frito was delicious, the chicken was seasoned well and maintained crunch even within the biscuit. Duck fat potatoes were also good but were even better after adding some salt. The brisket benny was okay, the texture of the brisket was very odd and didn't really hold up to the egg. Although the okra had a great flavor the batter was a bit too thick which made it chewy. The Fixe breakfast was great and the maple sausage was perfect. Our waitress was Adriana, she was great and very helpful. Overall we would definitely come back and look forward to trying dinner one night.

This time, the second Nashville hot chicken sandwich, being their spiciest, was dry and tasted sweet to me. The third time, I asked my husband to order me a Nashville hot in their second to last spiciest. It was so flavorful and moist. Such delicious goodness just like the first time I had it. Everything in the sandwich worked so well. I got a hint of spiciness after every few bites, which is just what I like. My husband enjoyed his chicken sandwich that was simply county. He is also a fan of their fully loaded fries. He's been happy with his sandwich the three times he's ordered it. The ambience is chill and mellow. Their customer service is good. I recommend you give this spot a try.

2/13/26 - this is the date in which I had the best fried chicken I had ever had. Before writing…read morethis review, I looked at how other people rated the food here. I'm not sure what their experience what, but I'm going to die on this hill that this is some phenomenal, life-changing chicken. I got takeout. Double flavor wings. Gang-jeong. Perfect balance of sweetness, umami, and heat. The other flavor was chessling. Again, perfect balance; this time, it was between rich cheesiness and a right amount of sweetness as well. I highly recommend both flavors. Now, this is just about the flavor itself. The meat itself was so tender and juicy. In the most appetizing, and hopefully not weird (but inevitably weird) way to describe it, it's almost as if I just caught the chicken with my bare hands and took a bite out of it. However, instead of getting feathers in my mouth, I was met with the most satisfyingly crispy exterior. What was specifically amazing about it was the fact that you could distinctly taste the tender meat on the inside separate from the crispy crunch on the outside. This was one of those meals where once I was done, I was in a complete coma afterwards. I woke up the next day in my bed about an hour or two before I had to get to work. Even though I was in a short vegetative state, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

The young staff provided decent customer service, though it could have been better, especially…read moresince I was the only customer there at the time. The atmosphere was about what you'd expect from a restaurant near a college campus. The chicken is expensive, so I'd suggest using the app and signing up for emails to get deals.

On top of that, when the food was delivered, both containers of beans had spilled completely, leaving us with a huge mess to clean up before we could even serve anything.

The Chicken Strip was hearty, a lot bigger than Raising Canes, that's for sure. The taste was lacking. Ugg, it did not have a good taste.

Our server (who I so regret not recalling the name of, it would have been worth it to remember) was an absolute GEM of a person. She not only answered our million and one questions, but she had us laughing and smiling with her perfectly timed quips and subtle jokes. Before we ever got served a single dish, we were already invested in The Lunch Box for good. Once the food arrived, we were even happier! Most of us opted to "make it a lunch box" which includes a sandwich of your choice, plus 3 (3!!) sides. For the price, quality, and quantity, they simply can't be beat. The food was indicative of stopping by your grandma's house for a quick bite and leaving haven been fed a hearty meal made with love. Not a single complaint could be made about any of the food items we got (which by the amount of us, we got nearly everything on the menu) and mixed with the stellar service, The Lunch Box was a favorite of everybody during our week long trip.

It was seasoned perfectly - it obviously had been brined. Exactly the right amount of crust on the meat. It was some of the best fried chicken we have tasted since Allen's Fried Chicken in Sweetwater closed. The greens were perfectly cooked, as well - soft, but not overcooked into mush, and they had a great flavor. Only thing I didn't really like was the mac & cheese - it was a little bland. Good texture, but needed something. Mustard or worchester sauce, something like that to offset the cheese. Also liked the ambiance of the restaurant. It was just a little divey, in a good way. I can't stand restaurants that obviously were decorated by some corporate interior designer to not be offensive to anyone but at the same time project the corporate brand to the point they beat it into your head relentlessly. Drew's, on the other hand, feels like a neighborhood bar, only with soul food instead of beer. And while I've read that some folks have been treated rudely, I had a great experience. The lady taking my order was nice to me, so I was nice right back to her. Maybe that's the secret to good customer service? Treat your server like a human being and they'll return the favor?

I was once a regular customer and have visited this restaurant many times in the past. Every now and then, I'll give it another try to see if things have improved, but unfortunately, today's experience was much like my previous ones. The food was disappointing as well. The meat was very bland, and some of my favorite items from previous visits were not available. I understand that restaurants can change their menus or run out of certain items, but combined with the lack of flavor, it made the overall meal less enjoyable. What was even more disappointing, however, was the customer service. The woman who appeared to be part of the ownership was once again rude and unprofessional. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I've had this type of interaction with her. I really wanted to be able to say that things had improved, but based on today's visit, I don't feel comfortable recommending this restaurant or returning anytime soon. Good food and welcoming customer service both matter, and unfortunately, neither met my expectations today.

I often come here and get the five piece chicken tenders for my father and I order several chicken breasts. Their chicken breasts are exquisite. I would've given this place five stars had not been for the service last visit. I went through the drive-through and ordered our typical order with six extra bread rolls, because those are some of our favorite. We get home, I opened the order, and there's no bread rolls, and we were missing two chicken breasts! I looked at the receipt, and sure enough we had paid for those, but they forgot to include them. So not wanting to cause a big kerfuffle, I got back in the car drove the five minutes down the street back to Lisa's, but they were closing as it was just at 10 PM. I drove through the drive-through window tapped on the glass and a woman opened the glass, telling me they were closed. I kindly explained to her that we did not get all of our order. She looked at me, rolled her eyes and said I'm sorry we're out of chicken. We have no more left. I asked her may I please have my bread rolls down. Not saying a word she slams the window, goes in for about five minutes, comes back out and just tosses the rolls to me and slams the window. No apology no we're sorry. No come back later and get your chicken tomorrow. It was awful. This woman needs a lesson in customer service, so don't come here expecting good customer service, and check your order every time you leave. This is not the first time I've ordered from here and did not get my full order.
