I had Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken for the first time last year in Austin. When I knew that I…read morewas 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.

The tenders had a heavy crust but the seasonings did have some flavor to it and the heat level was nice and hot. The red beans and rice were not what I expected. The rice was mushy and the beans had no flavor even after adding salt. The bone in half chicken had a thick heavy hard crust and actually cut my upper palate. The meat was dry and had no penetration of any brine or seasoning. The skin off the thigh had no discernible flavor but might have been due to being overcooked, I couldn't even eat the leg. The fries came seasoned but really had little flavor and were bland. I had high hopes for this place but only threw most the food away and left sad for the business.

Why in the world are they pre-cooking everything and let it sit under heat lamps? Everything I…read moreordered was lukewarm and rubbery. The chicken, the fries, all of it. It was made no less than half an hour before I placed an order. I understand the need to pre-cook bone-in chicken, but bone-in chicken stays super hot for a very long time. Everything else should be MADE TO ORDER! I might as well eat at Popeye's if I wanted pre-cooked, rubbery food that needs to be reheated in a microwave upon purchase. Furthermore, what genius thought serving ice cold jalapeno's was a smart move? Those jalapeno's are suppose to be roasted and toasty. I did not want jalapeno-cicles. Most of the meal went in the trash can. Church's Chicken used to be my favorite. I guess Jollibee can do what no one else can in fast food chicken and serve it HOT when you order it.

I've literally followed them to every location they've been but I believe they've found their home at the Churchill. Food can take anywhere from 10-20 minutes so we usually order in advance online so it's ready when we arrive. There's plenty of other options for drinks and a nice ambiance to eat your meal near by at the Churchill location. Definitely come before closing time because they do sell out from time to time.

I'm going to say this right from the start...there are places where you know the food is gooooood…read more So you sit there and shut your mouth with a smile til someone greets you. Haha Does this place occasionally lack over the top customer service as in being greeted as soon as you walk in the door and water put down in front of you as soon as you sit? Yes. However, this food is soooo damn good that I'm going to be a good girl until they finally come over. Lol It's not that they're standing around doing nothing....these ladies are working, running back and forth between tables, answering the phone, not to mention how many times I heard the ping of what I think was online orders. Anyway, we visited today (Sunday) and it was quite packed in there. Yes, it took about 10 minutes for someone to come over to us (we sat at the counter) but when we put our order in, it came put pretty fast and piping hot!! My husband had the catfish, slaw and macaroni and cheese. He finished it all! I had the smothered pork chops with rice and gravy and mashed potatoes and gravy. Mmmm carbs....amirite?! These were absolutely heavenly. The pork chop was tender and the gravy was so savory. I saw another review that someone complained the pork chops had bones but girl, that is where the flavor is! You better believe I gnawed on those things. Also, the corn bread...amazing, buttery, moist. I honestly can't wait to come back! Ignore the negative reviews, come here and try it yourself! Be patient and have a little grace with the service, you are going to get a damn good meal.

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more Mrs. Whites Golden Rule Cafe 808 E Jefferson Phoenix, 85034 The epitome of soul food in Arizona! Home cooking that is so good you want to cry! I've eaten at Mrs. Whites for many years, and every time I want to go back to real southern cooking this is where I come to. Companion and I dropped in for lunch, and there was so much food that we skipped dinner. I ordered the Southern Fried Chicken. 3 pan fried pieces that are juicy and golden brown. For sides I had mixed greens with hot sauce and mac and cheese. The collards were tender and delicious and the mac and cheese didn't even come close fo K..... Dinner. It was loaded with cheese and truly memorable. It also came with a large piece of homemade cornbread with lots of butter on top. Companion ordered the child's plate which is 2 pieces of chicken and and 2 sides. Ordered were cole slaw and mac and cheese. Because we are both diabetics, we both ordered unsweetened tea, but I really wanted a glass of the sweet tea which you get all through the south. We had planned on getting the wonderful peach cobbler for dessert, but we were so full that it would have been impossible to get down. Other items on the menu are smothered pork chops, fried catfish, and chicken fried steak as well as a host of other items. The restaurant recently underwent a complete renovation and it is really nice inside. Lest I forget to mention it, This is a small place that has been here for as long as I can remember. I came to Phoenix in 1965 and have eaten there since then. Highly recommended. 4 stars

CC's is a soul food type of restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. I visited for lunch about 3 weeks ago. I read the fried chicken is popular so I ordered the 4 piece version with sides of rice and gravy along with some maque choux and a biscuit for $21. The food arrived about 15 minutes later on a big plate. The chicken pieces had a dark brown crust and were quite good tasting. Not too crusty and with hot and flavorful meat on the bone. The rice and light brown gravy were good and the maque choux looked different from the South Louisiana variety but I still enjoyed it. It had corn, tomatoes, onions and bell peppers in it. I'll bet few locals have ever heard of it! The tablevservice was good too. This was a lot of food and I didn't finish it all but it was all good tasting and very close to real southern style cooking. I would be happy to return.
