2 piece dark with fries and biscuit.
Felecia V.

So, uh...I just strolled down and saw a picture of a big a** rat in there. That's tragic. But I'm trying my best to base this review on my own experience. :( I stopped in on New Years Eve and ordered the crispy wings with fries. The place was crowded but our food came out in about ten minutes. I would say that's pretty fast considering the circumstances (big holiday). The chicken was pretty good. It was slightly dry but not dry enough to turn into a choking hazard or where the bone was visibility dried out. It had a very nice flavor--not overly seasoned, not under seasoned. Slightly peppery but I'm a fan of that. They give you an abundance of fries. They are seasoned fries (sort of like Rally's or Popeyes' fries). The biscuit was delicious. It was fluffy and hot and they drizzle honey on it. The customer service was fine. I have no complaints there.

Over priced avg food. No cajun anything, just dissapointing. 2/ 3pc tenders with a side and biscuit, 2 bottled sodas $36 I've had better at KFC

4pc Mix with a side of Red Beans and Rice.. And a Mango Slush

Great atmosphere and great food. Service is a bit sketchy, but tolerable. The drinks are great. Chicken is fried perfectly and the red beans and rice is awesome. I don't know what they do to the biscuits.. But they are sooooo good.

They have NO system for ordering or filling orders! The music was so overbearing and loud it was impossible to sit and eat comfortably.

I recently visited Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken on Saturday evening around 7pm, and from the…read moremoment I walked in, the place was absolutely buzzing. The restaurant was packed, and the staff was moving nonstop--but what really stood out was how smoothly everything was handled despite how busy it was. The food? Easily a 10/10. The chicken had that perfect balance--crispy and slightly spicy on the outside, yet unbelievably juicy and tender on the inside. You can tell real care goes into it. The greens were cooked just right with a subtle hint of spice that gave them great flavor, and the slaw had a light sweetness that complemented everything perfectly. Service was just as impressive. My server, Tashena, was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing without missing a beat, even in the rush. You could tell she genuinely cared about the experience. I also have to shout out the manager, Whitney. She was incredibly uplifting, constantly cheering on her team and keeping the energy positive and motivated. That kind of leadership really shows in the overall experience. Between the food, the service, and the atmosphere, I can confidently say this is a 1000/10 recommend. I'll definitely be back

It was outstanding. It came dressed with pickled purple onions and horseradish cream sauce. That, with some seasoned fries, was a great meal. I love that they partner with Dong Phuong for their bread and they use Blue Plate mayo. I've seen the Dong Phuong truck dropping off bread and king cakes so I know they're 100% keeping it local. Service can be a little slow but everything is made to order.

There is both covered and exposed seating, however all of the seating is beneath the canopy of an elder oak tree. The landscaping is carefully homegrown with beautiful greenery and pretty flowering shrubs to greet you upon arrival. There's also a stage where you can enjoy live music. Once inside, you're greeted by welcoming staff who are proud of what they serve. The interior is modest, with nice rustic carpentry. Bourrée is to Boucherie as Cochon Butcher is to Cochon. It's a wing and daiquiri spot, but the wings are natural (read: smaller than the hormonal wings we're used to) and the daiquiris are dry, just the way I like them. Mr. Tea is my favorite of their daiquiris because sugar isn't the first thing I taste, instead I'm actually getting that antioxidental brewed tea flavor. Never thought I'd want that from a daiquiri, but as it turns out, I do. Their fries are some of my favorite in the city: shoestringy with crispy ends, the skin still on, salty, and plentiful. We also love their version of fried Brussels sprouts which taste of maple-citrus with bites of Tasso mixed in for good measure. My only gripe was with the jerk wings which didn't taste of jerk, just spicy. And if I'm being honest, the wings aren't the best of what they offer. They make everything in house with quality standards as high as Boucherie.
