I had Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken for the first time last year in Austin. When I knew that I was going to be in Phoenix, I checked to see if there was a Gus's location close to my hotel so I could have Gus's again since we don't have fried chicken like this at home. I found the Camelback location and stopped here for lunch and went with fried green tomatoes (wonderful!) , 2 white meat plate (breast and wing) with fries and okra and it was just as amazing as I remembered it last year. Sweet iced tea refills included. I would have loved to tried their chocolate chess pie but I just couldn't. Service was friendly and fast, the place was quite lively when I came in since a large group seemed to be having lunch as well. A word of warning, portions here are quite generous. If you're feeling you're up for 3 pieces , go for 2 instead. read more

Chicken tasted great! But there's no way this two piece dark meat would fill me up. And for the cost, I'd like to be full after this meal. Getting six french fries was disappointing. I know it was takeout, but they were quite soggy after 10 minutes of my drive. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Excellent chicken, moist & crunchy, especially if you like a little spice kick! Gus's chicken is originally from Memphis, so my husband was thrilled when he heard they are now in the Phoenix-area. We ate there a couple years ago, but now preference is for me to stop in on my way home from work. Very fun atmosphere and Abni always has a cheerful greeting when you walk in the door. :) Chicken is good without a doubt, but my personal favorites are the Mac & Cheese and Chocolate Chess Pie! Yum!! read more

Amazing food and even better service. Really enjoyed visiting this location for lunch. Had some perfectly cooked wings with some delicious greens and seasoned fries. Thank you to my server Malaysia for being so helpful, friendly, and accommodating! read more

Malaysia's service was friendly and hospitable and the food was delicious. And I loved the oldies playlist. We will definitely be back!

Freshly fried chicken that's really good--very juicy and flavorful. It's a bit on the saltier side, but perfect for my taste. The collard greens were decent, just average. The brewed sweet iced tea was good as well. The service was welcoming and quick. the place is spacious and organized, kind of like a diner but serving fried chicken. I also love the music they play. read more

I LOVE this location! A coworker took me for a Belated Birthday lunch, as she knows this is one of my fave spots. We started with Fried Green Tomatoes and tried the Hush Puppies....soooo good. If you didn't know, everything is cooked fresh when ordered. The chicken is always cooked perfectly...crisp on the outside and juicy on then inside. The Fried Okra literally stayed hot the entire meal. Our server was great and it's always nice and clean. Definitely a place to check out. read more

Great food and service from Jami, definitely gonna come by again soon! The chicken and beans were especially great

Needed a quick bite after my flight at around 2:00ish. Ordered online and walked from the hotel- the online thing said it would be about 15 minutes but I ended up waiting about 20-25 minutes. I had asked for utensils, but they weren't included so eating the Mac and cheese was a bit hard since my hotel didn't have silverware easily accessible. I got the chicken sandwich combo which came out to a little over $15. It was a large sandwich but very small mac and cheese side. The chicken was alright but I wish there was more flavor and it was less stringy. Wasn't impressed and wouldn't try the sandwich again- but possibly a different menu item? They had plenty of indoor seating at 2:00-2:30. Kind of an industrial vibe inside. They have a parking lot you can park in. read more

A top go to for fried chicken! I love how juicy and crispy their chicken is! It is southern style so think of that cayenne flavoring to give it a slight kick. Casual dine in or takeout place for lunch for dinner. Highly recommend their 1/2 chicken plate, sandwich, and corn nuggets! Their service is always friendly and kind! read more

Amazing food and service! I always comes here for lunch and it is always amazing! Malaysia was our server and she is amazing!

We love Gus's! My favorite thing is the chicken sandwich. My date got an all leg plate hahaha I don't think him and I are going to last long. But he did pay so I might go on another date with him.... I'll keep you updated. Def get the sweet potato pie. I haven't tried the other pies because in my mind the sweet potato pie is the only pie that I will ever love. The fries are super good and also the staff is super nice and friendly. 10/10 will return again! read more

Outing before the game with friends at Gus's. I ordered the catfish special that came with coleslaw and fries. Catfish was spicy and cooked right, had a great taste. Fries were good but coleslaw was just okay. Also ordered fried green tomatoes, they forgot about them. When we ate them was not that great like other location tried. Our waitress did provide great service and nice positive energy, forgot her name but we're there today around 12ish. Inside had a a lunch of lunch table style seating. read more

Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken absolutely lives up to its name. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned with just the right kick of spice. You can tell it's made fresh and with care. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying, and honestly, it WAS the best fried chicken I've ever had second only to the Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken I had in New Orleans. The sides complemented the meal perfectly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you're craving authentic, mouthwatering fried chicken, Gus's is the place to go. Like drop everything and get some good. I do not even normally go for fried chicken and I was blown away how good it was. read more

Placed a pick up order and upon arriving to pick up the service was very prompt. As soon as you walked in, they ask what's your name and had your order ready to go. Very friendly staff. I ordered two piece of white meat and two piece, dark meat, one with a side of potato salad, and the other with beans and coleslaw. The chicken was soft and paired very well with the sides. It's a good portion size for one or can be shared. read more

Small restaurant surrounded by a little strip mall. Every table occupied as well as their seating looking into the kitchen. I was able to try them when they had a booth @ a festival and promised myself self to try their brick and mortar. Made to order, hand battered fried chicken. Not to be confused with Nashville hot Chicken, they serve southern spicy fried chicken & they make all of their southern sides in-house daily. It's been awhile since I have been to a place where I loved everything on my plate. But this is definitely one of them! I waited almost 20 minutes for my order to go but it was worth every second and every minute. The girl that took my order was very friendly. While waiting, I noticed all the servers being very attentive and friendly, checking in with their tables. The chicken was just enough spicy. The mac and cheese had some kind of orange seasoning on top and it was creamy, cheesy, just damn good. Potato salad, the right amount of mustard and soft but chunky, exactly how I like potato salad. They really know what they're doing here. And I will be returning very soon again! read more

Service was amazing. It was a very comfortable and clean environment. The store manager was friendly and spoke with us for a minute to see how we enjoyed our time there. The fried chicken was golden brown and crispy, well seasoned and very delicious. I was not a fan of the sides dishes. Mac n cheese was just OK and the greens mid, but those fried green tomatoes were my favorite. I will go back for the chicken and try something new.. read more

I did the two piece dark plate. Came with a thigh and a leg. For a 50 cent fee, I upgraded my sides to macaroni and cheese and greens. Loved the texture and crunch of the chicken, but the chicken was salty. The greens would have been better with meat in them (when I ordered, I was told they had bacon bits in them. But the scoop I received did not have any meat in them). The sweet tea was delicious. I wanted to try the fried okra because of not many places here serve it. But I knew I wouldn't have wrong. The Staff was very friendly and helpful with the menu. Five stars for service read more

Ordered door dash first time for both Gus and delivery. The fried green tomatoes and fried Okra were really good. The Mac and cheese and baked beans as expected. The chicken is amazing! The three piece white meat meal was super filling. I missed that it was hot chicken so that was a surprise but it's not overpowering hot. The flavor was just right. New go to chicken place. read more

After going to another competitor for a long time they increased their prices by 30% and the flavor taste disappeared I decided to find another source to satisfy my Fried chicken cravings! The staff n owner were warm n accommodating, prices were comparable and the flavor was just like it used to n should taste! Cole slaw tasted sweet n they used baked beans instead of mashed potatoes. Vibe inside n aesthetics were like that of a Cajun/ creole restaurant in Louisiana! Great place n I'll be back.BTW- It's right off the 51 going South and Camelback! read more
