Popped in to kill time and grab a quick beverage. Heard great things about the chicken here so even though I want hungry I ordered an a la carte tender. It was yummy! I got the plane Jane because I'm a sissy about spice. There was a bit of a wait for it to be prepped but OMG! So worry it! It was fresh, hot, and worth the wait! Perfectly seasoned, perfectly buttered toast with it. To die for good! Worth the belly ache! I so appreciate how kind Randy was about letting me just hang out while waiting for a meeting.

Food was sensational ‍

Nashville Hot Chicken - Mesa, AZ Easily one of the best local spots I've eaten at in a long time. The food here hits every mark perfectly seasoned, crispy chicken with that real Nashville kick, balanced out by fresh slaw and the kind of waffle fries you actually want to finish. What really stands out, though, is the owner. You can tell he puts everything into this place constantly checking in, making sure every plate comes out right, and treating customers like regulars even if it's their first time. He's not hiding in the back he's front and center, working hard to make sure people leave happy. The sandwich with the waffle buns and sauce drizzle (see photo) is legit next-level the perfect combo of crunch, heat, and sweet. And those loaded fries? Dangerous in the best way. If you're anywhere near Mesa, this spot deserves your stop. Support small business done right this is how it's supposed to be. Fire ! I haven't been here in months owner still remembers every detail of how I like my order. Phenomenal A1 service. Literally a one man show, treats all his customers like celebrities!!!

#3 NHC Sando Plate

Was walking around the area when my girlfriend and I came across this place. Great atmosphere, customer service (Go Saints), and the chicken was incredible!

Chicken Sando
Stephanie L.

Affordable prices/prices on par/cheaper than most fast food restaurants ($6.85 for chicken sando, $12.95 for chicken sando, fries, and a drink). While affordable, I was disappointed at the quality. The chicken was very dry, and scarce. Mild spiciness (we ordered blazin' which is "hot" but felt more like mild). The chicken sando had 1 chicken tender when it should have had at least 2. Half the sandwich had no chicken! I agree with others about the small portion of fries too. Waffle Sando, great in theory, but too much breading and too dry. Luckily there's other hot chicken restaurants!

Tenders And Slaw
Maria J.

Cut up chicken tenders, coleslaw, fries, and blazin hot sauce. It was enough for two people plus we took leftovers. It's a shame because it was so delicious! Fries were perfectly fried crispy The tenders were crispy and soo moist! The coleslaw was tangy and delicious. The sauce was yummy and hot and that was the blazin mild Owner was so nice let's get this place busy!!!

Waffle Fries 5oz

Came back a second time because I live so darn close, paid 6 dollars for like 7 waffle fries. "1 refill per customer" on the fountain machine inside. The chicken is decent but these guys are kind of cheapskates.

Waffle Fries upgrade

Came in on a Wednesday, the place is pretty spacious. We were helped quick and he told us it'd be a 15 minute wait, the food came out in a timely manner. We ordered the number 3 combo chicken sandwich plate. My partner ordered a level 7 spice, which he said got his nose sweating but a nice level of spice. I got a level 5 spice which was perfect for those who want a tiny tingle with great seasonings. The buns were perfectly intact and fluffy. The chicken was crispy, the pickles and slaw was refreshing. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. We got a side a ranch which tasted like hidden valley but thicker. Overall, loved everything we ate. They even had sparkling water on tap which we enjoyed throughly.

Twisted tea in the bottle is the best

The lady that helped me out let me know that since I was torn between the Swai and catfish I could do one of each. She was so helpful and sweet, loved her energy! Both of my fish were cooked perfectly and I like the nice crunch to them when I first bit in, both fish were extremely juicy. I do wish that she told me the catfish was going to have a stronger fish taste to it though , I guess they told my brother that when he came in last. I typically don't mind the fishier catfish taste, as I grew up eating catfish, but I will say theirs is a bit stronger than I typically like. Swai was bomb though. I do enjoy the fact that they season the fish after it being fried as well, I think that's a great touch. The shrimp that came with my combo was well battered and seasoned but I personally expected a larger size shrimp, and they were smaller. No worries though. Oh we also really enjoyed the shape of their fries that came with the lunch basket it was interesting. My spouse said he enjoyed the Wings which were pretty generous in size, but he wished he would have gotten them dried instead of wet. He thought the sauce was a bit much. Whatever that means lol All in all great fish and chips, killer music and nice atmosphere.

WORTH THE TRIP EVERY TIME! We absolutely LOVE Gus's World…read moreFamous Fried Chicken! We are from El Paso, Texas, and we visit Phoenix twice a year just to eat at Gus's. That should tell you how much we love this place! The customer service is excellent! Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and warm toward their customers. The chicken is cooked fresh to order, crispy on the outside, steaming hot, juicy, and absolutely delicious. We are NEVER disappointed! The fried okra is one of my favorite sides, but honestly, all their sides taste homemade and are delicious. Everything is so good! We've enjoyed Gus's in Memphis, Austin, Houston, and, of course, Phoenix. When we visit Houston, we also catch an Astros game while we're there! No matter which city we visit, Gus's is always on our MUST-EAT list! The delicious food, wonderful customer service, and consistent quality keep us coming back. Thank you to the entire team for making every visit such a great experience. We look forward to our next trip to Phoenix and another delicious meal at Gus's! If you haven't tried Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken, you're missing out! Highly recommend!

After deciding on fried chicken, instead of traditional wings, it took way too long to place an order despite 5 employees (not sure if they were actually employees, it just seemed like 5 people running a co op and hanging out or something) being near us. As we were waiting for our food, we glanced around and saw many odd things like a filing cabinet used to store chopsticks and other items. We wanted to sit at the bar but half of it was taken by employees, boxes of shoes, really random items. After about 15 minutes the chicken came out. No sign of the ranch that we requested, but at least we had food. After looking at the chicken, it became apparent that they had brought us wings. I asked the employee if they had made a mistake, but he let me know that their fried chicken is all wings, despite the word "wings" never appearing on the menu in the fried chicken section. The saving grace here is that the chicken WINGS were quite tasty. The breading was crispy and the sauces were good. I could see how this would get soggy for takeout, so I recommend dining in for fried chicken WINGS. Overall, super weird place but the chicken WINGS are good.

Hidden Gem in Tempe, Arizona!…read more My sister and I visited this restaurant yesterday, Saturday, August 29, after seeing it featured by a food reviewer on TikTok, and we are SO glad we decided to try it! This newer restaurant is located in Tempe, Arizona, in a shared parking lot next to several other businesses, including Dunkin' Donuts and a sub shop. When we walked in, there was open seating, so we were able to choose our own table. It wasn't crowded at all, which made for a very relaxed and enjoyable experience. The restaurant has only been open for about a year, and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming. The music was great, the décor was nice, and everyone we encountered was friendly, kind, and down-to-earth. Our waitress, Tam, was absolutely AMAZING! She was personable, attentive, and gave us some really great recommendations on both food and drinks. And let's talk about the HAPPY HOUR! They offer happy hour EVERY DAY from 12 PM-4 PM, including weekends! That was a huge bonus for us because so many restaurants don't offer weekend happy hour. We definitely wanted to take advantage of it since this was our first visit. Here's what we ordered: Belgian Waffle & 3 Fried Chicken Wings -- The waffle came with whipped cream and a strawberry on the side. Delicious! Happy Hour Dance Basket -- $8 -- Fried okra, French fries, and onion rings. We added lemon pepper seasoning on top, and it was SO good! Fried Catfish Basket with Chicken Wings & Fries -- Another great choice! Mocktail -- We were also able to enjoy a complimentary drink because an extra one had been prepared for us, which was such a nice surprise! One of the highlights for us was meeting one of the cooks who was working in the back. The interaction honestly made us feel like we were back home in the Midwest, like one of our own family members was in the kitchen cooking for us. That type of genuine hospitality is hard to find! They are open very late, until 4 AM, which is another great option if you're looking for somewhere to grab food late at night. They also have Soulful Sundays starting at 3 PM, with specials featuring items like jerk chicken, oxtails, and more! Definitely check their website ahead of time for the latest specials, hours, and offerings. Overall, we had such a wonderful first experience. Great food, great service, great music, welcoming people, and reasonable specials. We would LOVE to see a location like this in the West Valley! Thank you again for such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

I encouraged my friends to end up to come here to do a late lunch so that they could try the soul food offerings that was supposed to start at 2 PM per their social media page. Overall, I'm gonna give this 3.25 out of 5 stars. What was positive is that, they did have a lot of of selection of different dishes that were available to try. However, soul food on Sunday Sundays does not start until 3 PM is what we learned once we arrived at the establishment. However, they did have happy hour from noon to four every day and so we tried to take advantage of some of the drink specials. My friend that ordered the mimosa flight enjoyed her cocktails. My friend that ordered the Hennessy cocktail did not enjoy her cocktail as it tasted like Hennessy and sink water. I got the tequila cocktail that was on the happy hour menu and was very weak, however when I added a shot of tequila to the cocktail, it was much better. Nonetheless, I just stuck with three dollar beers instead cause I knew what I was getting out of the situation. Onto the food, kind of a mixed response. My friend that got the fried chicken sandwich was a little underwhelmed with it because the french fries were not seasoned. Also, while the chicken sandwich was huge, it was kind of hard to eat and so she did not enjoy her food, but she did like her her mozzarella sticks that she ordered on the side yet those came with ranch after asking the server no less than three times and they did not offer a marinara sauce. My friend that ordered the fish and wings enjoyed her meal. The fish was cooked really good. I got to try some of it and I was impressed with the seasoning. However, it was supposed to come with either coleslaw or potato salad and literally they brought out a container of less than 2 ounces worth of potato salad that was ridiculous. I have never seen that ever and you cannot state that this is a side when it was less than one spoonful. For my food, I ordered the jerk chicken soul food plate, which was priced at a reasonable amount and included two sides, which I opted for the macaroni and cheese and the greens. I thought that the jerk chicken was slightly undercooked. And I was able to reheat it up the next day and it was more to my liking. For the sides I did enjoy the greens. They were very flavorful and cooked just right. The mac & cheese was nothing really special. However, it was OK. I also ordered the fried chicken by which I wanted to try. I have nothing negative to say about the fried chicken. It was done really well and I would order that again. I actually mostly just ate on that at the restaurant and took the jerk chicken home to cook it a little bit further. Overall, it was a long eating engagement. We didn't end up getting our food for a long time after we put in the order. First, we had to wait till 3 PM to order the soul food items and then even still our food didn't come out for almost another another 50 minutes and our food did not come altogether. So some dishes came out at different times and my dish actually came out lukewarm but my fried chicken came out hot. So they need to coordinate the kitchen a little bit better hands-down it needs to decide if there is a restaurant or is this a bar. Because my perception was supposed to be a restaurant, but it was more operating like a dive bar. Definitely no shade at all. I would come back to see if they work out some of the kinks as I was digging the environment. The staff were really friendly. The table was clean and the music was a vibe. I just know next time to come not hungry because it might be a while before I get my food and I would probably specify to the wait staff that if you're gonna bring out the food separately anyway bring mine out when it's ready and hot as opposed to lukewarm. Also ask for everything when you order it because trying to get hot sauce, ketchup or ranch will be slow and your food will get colder. Other than that, this restaurant has a strong Chicago vibe, including the menu, which was very much dedicated to all things in the loop and in the suburbs of Chicago land. So I will come back. I just hope it's a little bit more put together because let me tell you if any of this went down in the loop words would be said.
