    3 pcs dark combo with mashed potatoes and fried rice.
    Albert T.

    Fried chicken and rice, this is my go-to comfort food. When my parents told me about this new fried chicken place in Arlington, I just had to try! They not only have chicken, but they also have catfish and shrimp! I've had them all so I will breakdown each food below. Let me say the prices are very cheap for the type of food and quality. There are lot of combinations either chicken, catfish, or shrimp, a choice of 2 sides (rice, fries, mashed potatoes, green beans), an Hawaiian roll, and a drink (free re-fills). The fried chicken is very crisp, not too oily, the meat is tender and full of taste! However I wish there was a "spicy" fried chicken-type offered, I didn't see it on the menu. The catfish and the shrimp are truly a hidden gem of this restaurant. Priced very reasonably for fried seafood, the batter used is flavorful, and the fried taste doesn't not over power the actual taste of the fish or shrimp. If you want to feed a lot of people I would suggest you look at the specials plastered all over the front windows. Not too sure how often they are changed but I saw 24pc dark for under $15, you can't beat that! Overall, the service is good, the restaurant and bathrooms are clean. I will definitely be back!

    Dark chicken with corn nuggets, gizzard, fried shrimp with fried okra and onion rings!
    Kim L.

    The shrimp was so good! Crunchy and the batter was a little sweet. Crunchy onion rings by far one of the best! The gizzard was not bad, better than chicken express and it had a little salt which help the seasoning. I didn't really like the chicken but the batter was very well made. My bf liked the chicken and said the meat was soft to his liking. The rice wasn't anything special tbh, my bf was just hungry. The corn nugget was sooo good, give us more pls pls!!! 5 star!! Will be back!!

    2 pc Catfish

    When it's been a long day and I'm not trying to be in the kitchen I tend to come here and get a few thangs. For example the Fried Rice is bomb and comes with a Egg Roll, yes please. My boyfriend loves the Fried Catfish and I get the tenders and sometimes corn nuggets and fries are always fresh! I agree some reviews about the drive thru needing updated and they always make you drive around to side so that's frustrating.

    Three old, dry chicken tenders at the bottom of the box.

    Our first time there and everything (other than the chicken) were good. The chicken tenders were too dry and hard and then towards the end of the box, three tenders were dark and flat out dry so those went straight to the trash can. All the sides were good, French fries, rice and corn on the cob. The hot sauce and gravy were good as well. I just can't vouch for those tenders. More than likely, we won't be trying that place again. Sorry, but it is what it is...

    Fried shrimp, hush puppies, corn nuggets & onion rings; bonus is the delicious sweet-ish roll.

    I love this joint. Admittedly it's not the type of place I would have gone to on my own, but my co-workers introduced me to it, and I'm glad they did! Chicken, fish, shrimp and...drumroll....fried rice!!! All are good! Especially for the $. Fried shrimp are decent sized with a nice crispy coating; catfish filets are huge! Lots of fun sides including corn nuggets, fried jalapeños, hush puppies, fries, beans, rice mashed potatoes/gravy and more. Fried rice is plentiful and can be served 3 different styles (Regular, "Baja" style which is w/ jalapeños, and "Aloha" style which has pineapple). Comes with a great egg roll which reminds me of the egg rolls from Jack In The Box (and that's a good thing). Want something different? They even offer a jalapeño cheese corn dog which is AWESOME. Prices are so reasonable, good service at the counter and drive thru, both. Keep up the good work, Luci's!

    3 piece dark, 2 sides and a drink- $6.00

The young man was nice and professional, the location was easy to get to and it was clean. They have a variety of items on the menu but I wanted fish. The fish was so good. The fries were so good!!

When I see something located directly off Cooper, I worry about the heavy traffic. This was an easy in and an easy out. The establishment was clean, organized, and well presented. I had: Fried catfish w/fried okra and corn fritters - 3 pc This was such a disappointment and a waste of money. Their reviews are excellent, and I was shocked, to be honest. Shocked that I happened to get something that ended up being thrown away; it wasn't edible. First, whatever seasoning they used on the fish was way too salty; I had to do my best to brush it off the fish. The fish was fried well; however, it was fried too well. It was so dry and overcooked, you literally needed something to drink after each bite. Two and a half pieces of fish, in the trash. I had planned to have it for lunch, dinner, and one the next day, but that didn't happen. The okra and corn fritters, as you can see in my picture, were overcooked as well. The okra was hard and did not taste like a fresh fry, and even if frozen prior, they can still taste fresh. The fritters were burnt. All went in the trash. When I think about it, I'm a bit perplexed. I had a twenty-minute wait, he said it was due to them making the food when ordered, but that definitely wasn't the case. The fish wasn't piping hot, nor were the sides. The best thing about the visit was the lemonade; it was good. Based on the reviews, in particular, the Google reviews, they seem to be pretty solid overall. I know that with the first impression they gave, I will not visit again.

Plus who doesn't love those biscuits and honey? Fortunately we had missed the lunch rush and were seated immediately. Our table was next to "Rick's" table, Babe's famous dining guest. Of course Rick is a mannequin. If you're seated at his table, he doesn't do much talking during the meal We both said hello to Rick and placed our order with our, ever smiling, Stephen S. He was wonderful throughout our visit ensuring we never lacked for anything. My wife and I ordered a fried chicken dinner and a vegetable plate. A few visits back we learned the little trick. Ordering the two separate plates we don't end up taking a lot of chicken home. The fired chicken dinner includes the white meat my wife likes and the dark meat I love plus unlimited veggies for the both of us. It's the perfect dinner for the two of us. The fried chicken was, of course, stellar, as it always is plus the addition of the phenomenal sides. the Italian style green beans, creamed style corn, whipped potatoes and a lettuce salad with their sweet-sour dressing.

The chicken itself was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with that signature seasoning that keeps you coming back for more. But let me tell you--the fried pickles are hands down my absolute favorite! Perfectly crispy, not greasy at all, and served hot with that irresistible crunch. I could honestly order those alone and be happy. The atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming, and the service matched the quality of the food--friendly, fast, and attentive. If you're craving real, flavorful fried chicken with a kick, Gus's is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back!

    Great company. Good food. The wait was very long. But it was worth the wait. Meat was so crispy,…read morethe green were sweeter than I ever had them. 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. I just figured it would be home made like the pies and chicken. 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.
