    Gizzards and gravy and there is a biscuit down there somewhere.
    Martin V.

    Stopped in on the way back to Austin. Got the gizzards and gravy, drive thru, it took an extra few minutes to get but they were freshly hot. Gravy was good and batter was perfect for gizzards. Not sure about anything else, but would like to try more next time I'm in Luling. Good sweet tea too.

    I like the fried chicken here. I don't bother to make it at home and I don't even get fried. Hi Ken when traveling. It just can't compare.

    My mother in law, who's a very accomplished chef, says the best fried chicken in Austin (anyway) is at Top Knotch.

    This is my first visit to this Gus's location and it did not disappoint. I had the chicken legs…read morewith mac and cheese and greens. Everything was delicious! These were some of the meatiest legs ever! Great customer service as well. We will definitely return!

    There are meals you enjoy... and then there are meals that make you pause mid-bite and question…read moreevery other fried chicken decision you've ever made in your life. Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken? Yeah. It's that kind of place. We went for the chicken sandwiches and I need you to understand--these were not just "good." These were ruin-other-places-for-you good. Crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned... the kind of sandwich that makes you immediately start planning your next visit before you've even finished the first one. Now let's talk sides, because they did not come to play. Coleslaw (mine): fresh, balanced, actually flavorful (which is rare because let's be honest... slaw can be a gamble). This one? Solid win. Fried okra (my friend's): I am extremely picky about fried okra. Like, I side-eye most of it. But THIS? Golden, crispy, not a hint of that weird slimy nonsense. It was so good we ordered more to take home... which tells you everything you need to know. And because we clearly make excellent life choices, we shared a chess pie for dessert. Rich, sweet, buttery perfection. What really tied it all together though? The service. Warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being over the top. The kind of service that makes you feel taken care of, not rushed. Bottom line: Every single bite was worth every penny--and honestly, I would've paid more and still walked out happy. This is one of those spots that doesn't just meet expectations... it casually exceeds them and then sends you home thinking about it later like a crush you're not over yet.
