I had high hopes for this place after a new owner took over. The store renovation looks great, menus are sexy, and service is quick and friendly. However, on both visits, the food quality, taste, and presentation coupled with a low sanitation grade of 92.5, gives me pause. Persistently poor scores = poor food. Simple as that. Great diners are a thing of beauty and Monroe needs more of them. C'mon Gus--up your game! Until then my "Give 'em a Whirl" is mapping me elsewhere.

Fast service, wide selection. Great quality and taste. Fried whitefish and Mediterranean salad were excellent. And so was the free cup of chicken soup. Brand new and very clean. Staff was responsive and courteous.

Family breakfast at Gus'

Found this place on Facebook through a friend. We absolutely love it. It's off the beaten path but worth the drive. Reasonably priced and excellent food. A really nice environment. Inside the staff is very friendly. It's a must-try.

I've been twice already and yes I got the same thing. I've been trying to eat healthier so I need some veggies. This plate is enough for me to split amongst two days. Very good amount for an affordable price.Recently we went with my sister and other ladies and she got chilaquiles verdes with beans(which is normally a Mexican breakfast) and she was amazed with the taste and how it truly felt like an authentic mexican breakfast. Our waitress have been amazing and very friendly. This place feels like home. The renovation is neat and organized. Very nice breakfast place. I'll have to try lunch sometime! (:

The Mediterranean Platter was perfect!!

The quality of food is always so good!! The Mediterranean platter was excellent, with homemade tzatziki sauce, chicken, fries, salad and pita bread. Huge servings, and service is always great!! Plus, breakfast for lunch is so nice.

Biscuits

Good food. He didn't LOVE his cowboy burger and she said the biscuits are not scratch. Very good service: she remembered our special requests, offered refills and carryout, knew who ordered what even though the place was hopping. Well staffed. Nice ambience and very clean. We liked our omelets and the home fries were very tasty with special seasoning. ​

It is in downtown Monroe with street parking and some public parking lots. Our daughter said she has been there around 11:00am and got a spot on the street right in front. It is very eclectic with decor and items for sale. They have indoor seating, seating along entrance hall and outdoor seating. You order at one counter, which has a large menu boards above the counter. The young lady that took our order was very nice. You pay over at the bar area. It was not busy at the time we were there. I had the Salad Sandwich. You can get it with chicken salad, tuna salad or chickLESS salad. I had the chicken salad in a spinach wrap with lettuce and tomato. There are other bread options. The wrap was filled with the chicken salad. It was nicely seasoned and tasted really good. My husband and daughter both did the Pick Your Burger, a build your own. My husband had the burger with bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions and pepper jack cheese. My daughter added bacon, lettuce, grilled onions and provolone cheese. They both said it was a great burger. We enjoyed our food. Definitely will come back.

I use Benedict's as my gold standard for breakfast service. I like my poached eggs runny but these were almost completely cooked, the English muffin I requested toasted 'hard' meaning I want it well toasted but it came out hardly toasted. The hollandaise sauce was a little weak and thin and sparse. The potatoes were over salted for my taste even though our server tried to fix them by bringing me a new side order, the potatoes were still too salty. So the Benedict didn't meet expectations but my husband enjoyed his sandwich. My dogs enjoyed the remains of the eggs Benedict - too expensive to throw out! But not the potatoes. I might be persuaded to try this place again in the future, but it would be because nothing else was available.

We stopped by last night for a quick meal before joining some folks for karaoke. They informed us…read morewhen we sat down the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes so my wife opted for the club sandwich and I got the chicken tenders. Her club was huge and stuffed with cheese and meat and really good looking bacon. My chicken tenders were big and well cooked and the honey mustard sauce was excellent. Even with them closing in a few minutes we didn't feel rushed or in the way. They were attentive to us keeping our drinks filled and making sure I got a box to take my chicken home for later. Yes their chicken tenders were good enough to want to take home. Hope to visit again soon.

So, I figured it was time to update my review of this amazing place. As I mentioned before, I'd…read morekeep coming back; and, true to my word, I'm literally there every Sunday for Brunch, grinning like I own the place while the staff (who are absolute gems, by the way) welcome me in. I've also stopped by for dinner a few times, and let me tell you, these folks don't miss. The food? Always fresh and delicious. The service? Fast, professional, and somehow still warm and personable. They've really built a fantastic team here, and at this point, I'm pretty sure I qualify for honorary family membership. Someone get me a name tag that says "MSB Cousin." If you're ever there for Brunch when the "Big Stack" is on the menu, please try it. You're going to love it, and the many other brunch and dinner items on the menu.

We were greeted quickly by a friendly server who got us drinks right away. We weren't ready to order and he did not rush us. He asked us to move our table number to the front of the table so he would know we were ready. I liked that touch! We went very traditional for breakfast. I opted for the French toast combo with bacon and hash browns. My friend opted for the spinach and feta omelet. Both arrived quickly and were fresh and hot. My food was tasty, the bacon was crispy as ordered and the hash browns were nicely shredded and not too greasy. The only thing that was a bit off was my friend asked for her omelet to be well done and she had to send it back for a recook. There was no problem with that and it was back quickly and definitely cooked much more to her liking. Overall I liked the place for a no frills but well cooked meal. The server was pleasant and we never had to ask for refills. Definitely recommend if you are in the area and looking for a nice, affordable meal.
