    Chicken Fried Steak
    Jim W.

    Hometown Cotton Patch. We've been here many times and the food is always solid. Today's food was good too. Chicken Fried steak, mashed potatoes, okra... Cotton Patch staples! What made tonight even better was the service. Lucy was fantastic. Friendly, professional and such a great server. Great visit!

    Very disappointed in my dining experience we had a new or inexperienced server who wasn't attentive and took a really long time to take drink and appetizer order. After passing our table numerous times she finally brought appetizers they were completely cold. After another long wait she took our food order but wasn't able to answer any questions we had about menu I ask to speak to another server and as I was asking the other server a simple question she raised her voice and talked over me. I ask to speak to Mgr. the server turned around yelled "ugh" and stomped away. The Mgr heard her but didn't not immediately come to the table. After a few minutes he came to the table and made excuses for her saying she came to work but was dealing with something so kinda just look over her attitude. Then Mgr said but hey we have some great food y'all ready to order let me get a server. I was ready to leave but was with guests that had traveled a long way so they wanted to stay. I was embarrassed by the experience because it was my suggestion we eat there. Due to such an awful dining experience we didn't enjoy our food having dealt with long wait time cold food attitudes and an passive Mgr's unprofessional and discourteous service. Totally unacceptable for a business doing food service

    CENTER-CUT PORK CHOPS

    I met my mom here for lunch . The waitress was very friendly and hard working considering there was only two for the whole place. There are a wide variety of options available so everyone in your group should find something they like. I got grilled pork chops that comes with two chops !! I get a double order of cinnamon apples and a baked potato.. I cut the potato in half and eat half of the apples and one pork chop and then I have another emailed to for later !! It's a good deal . We always enjoy the fresh cooked rolls as well!

    BBQ Salmon was horrible, rice had no taste and the fries were over cooked.

They weren't too busy, so we were seated promptly. Another delightful visit with Norma as our server. She took wonderful care of us, and we never lacked for anything. After looking over the menu, my wife opted for the chicken finger platter with French fries and whole kernel corn. I decided on their incredible turkey dinner platter, what turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans and homemade cranberry sauce. I thoroughly enjoyed during a previous visit. I HAD to have it again. While we were waiting on our entrees, a big basket of rolls and cornbread was dropped off at our table. The rolls were warm and the cornbread sweet and delicious. I absolutely love their cornbread muffins. After having time to much down on a muffin, Norma arrived at our table with our two dinner entrees. OH MY, my turkey dinner platter was overflowing with deliciousness! I knew I was going to enjoy it. My wife said her chicken fingers were fried to perfection and the French fries and corn was scrumptious. I was so excited to dive into my turkey dinner platter. It was as delicious as it was previously. Our dinner experience was WONDERFUL. Thank you, Jay Jay's for a wonderful time! We'll see all again soon.

    Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken is one of those places that reminds you why simple comfort food…read moredone RIGHT will always win. The first thing you notice is that the chicken actually tastes seasoned all the way through -- not just on the outside. Crispy, flavorful, juicy, and cooked with consistency. You can tell this is the kind of recipe that comes from tradition, experience, and knowing exactly what customers come back for. And let's talk about that crunch... THAT crunch. The chicken has that perfect balance where it's crispy without feeling overly greasy, and every bite tastes fresh and made with care. You can also taste the slight kick in the seasoning, which gives it personality without overpowering the flavor. What I appreciate most is that Gus's doesn't try too hard to be trendy or overcomplicated. It feels authentic. Good food, solid portions, comforting sides, and an atmosphere that feels welcoming and laid back. The service has always been friendly when I've visited, and the food quality stays consistent -- which matters because consistency is what separates good restaurants from memorable ones. In a world full of restaurants trying to reinvent fried chicken, Gus's proves that mastering the basics with flavor, culture, and quality is more than enough. Come hungry. Leave happy. And definitely don't wear white unless you're ready to risk it all for that chicken.

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.

Will come back again. And try different sides.

Their food is very good, no question. I was reading some of the reviews and noticed that a few other "elite" reviewers gave this location glowing recommendations. So maybe I'm just catching them when they're not on their A-game. That's why we decided to give them one last attempt to redeem themselves. They did. We had a waitress that provided outstanding service. I was very impressed. She made sure our glasses were always full, brought us fresh bread promptly when asked and made sure we were happy with our food before she walked away. From the time we sat down till we left, she was very attentive. I haven't given up on them yet. All this to say, if you want great good, this location in Arlington will provide it, but rather you will get good service or not, is strictly a coin toss.

It was semi-crowded but the line was short. This was our first time so it took us a while to survey the menu board. We asked a few questions as well and the staff was very helpful. There were two of us and we ordered as follows: - Melt Sandwich on a Croissant with Original Chicken Salad and Provolone Cheese plus a cup of Poblano and Chicken Soup - The Chick as a Sandwich on a Croissant with Original Chicken Salad plus a cup of Poblano and Chicken Soup - Large Fountain Drink - Each soup came with 3 packs of crackers - Each meal came with a small cookie THE FOOD In short, we love it. the sandwiches were great. My wife's croissant was toasted and I had my croissant not-toasted. I tried her's and I liked it more. It added a bit of crunch and more depth of flavor. The original chicken salad was great. But guess what? They have 15 varieties! We'll try other one's on our next visit. The soup was real tasty. It had just a small amount of kick to it as well. The consistency had a bit of thickness to it but not too much. We enjoyed it. The small cookie they serve with each meal was very sweet and tasty. OTHER They use an order number system where you're given an order number sign that you place on your table. Staff delivers your order to your table along with silverware. A holder with napkins are on each table. They also have a staff member that constantly roams the store, clearing plates and such from tables and confirming that everything is well with your meal. Nice touch and the woman was quite pleasant. I downloaded their app and signed up for their rewards program. I'm not sure just yet, what and how much you earn as a function of your spend. I did earn a dollar off my next order for doing their online survey. The info on the survey is at the bottom of the receipt. I ended up going back up to the order counter before we left to purchase a small container of their pimento cheese product. I was able to use the one dollar discount too. See you next time Chicken Salad Chick!
