Michael CornerJanuary 21, 2016The combo plate w dark meat, baked beans and slaw was perfect all together. Chicken w some heat calmed w the sweet slaw and finish off the rotation w some killer beanage. Then repeat.
Rheannon WhiteDecember 19, 2018Fried chicken and sides were delicious! The chicken was very moist, and the breading had a fun, spicy kick! Loved Gus's!
Ken PeckDecember 23, 2015There is no better fried chicken in the land. The flavor, the heat, the crispness...WOW!!! Oh yeah, don't miss the collards while munching the chicken goodness. Best greens ever in a restaurant.Upvoted Feb 16
Ricardo ValdesApril 18, 2016What they say on their shirts is true. Best damn fried chicken on earth. So far. Now I'll cry every time I see a KFC or Popeye's. And it's NOT JUST the chicken but the sides too
Brittani RumseyMarch 25, 2015THE BEST CHICKEN AROUND. I go here once or twice a week. Quick service and friendly staff. I also recommend their fried green tomato's. So delicious.
Madison MessmerApril 17, 2018Food is always excellent and fast. Servers are so nice and very attentive. Definitely recommend a visit when coming to Memphis.
Albert CDecember 14, 2017Call in your order if you’re taking it to go! Awesome fried chicken - good crisp and juicy meat.
Chantel PickettJuly 25, 2013I'm a chicken fan, I eat chicken 2-3 times a week, but this just topped them all! Best chicken that I've ever had in my entire life.
Michael SextonFebruary 2, 2015A very tasty way to lose 20 lbs in 2 days. The fried chicken and mac & cheese were delicious but I'm on my second day of throne sitting and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.- Tameika SimsMarch 26, 2015The service is awesome! Gus's Fried Chicken has the best chicken and sides in Memphis. Don't miss out!!
Tremayne PrimmApril 15, 2016The fried chicken was off the chain!!! Go early, the crowd gathers quickly.
Hayden JonesAugust 9, 2014Their fried chicken is amazing you have to try it with the white bread and hot sauce!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
S PMarch 26, 2015Southern style spicy fried chicken. If you haven't eaten at Gus's, you haven't eaten fried chicken. Local "landmark"!
William HendersonMarch 26, 2015Great if you love spicy fried chicken. All the sides are great, but you have to try the fries.
JeffreySeptember 28, 2012Good for the soul, bad for the waistline. If you're here with a group split a large platter. That's the way to get the most bang for your buck.
Tiffany LangstonFebruary 20, 2015The chicken at the downtown location is better, but this one has better sides, more parking and tends to be a little less crowded
Will BriganceDecember 23, 2011Everybody want chicken? Get a family meal... Nothing beats an entire tray of chicken... Also get a 40 of miller lite to wash down that spicy goodness
Taylor BabichJuly 6, 2015Half chicken, Mac and cheese, greens, and fried rice. Start with pickles and green tomatoes
John SmithNovember 30, 2014Best Fried Chicken I've ever had! The chicken breasts were very juicy and tender.
George SandersonMarch 14, 2016The chicken is the best. Somewhat spicy. Service is always slow, but your patience will pay off.
I walked in a few minutes before closing and I was asked to leave. Finally they accepted to give me a take out but reminded me that it was a huge favour being done. Absolutely terrible service
Alexis BoyleJuly 30, 2015Chicken, fried pickles, greens, fries, beans, and slaw. Lemonade's pretty good, too!
Don't tell my mom, but this is the best fried chicken i've ever had, sub for mac-n-cheese in your combo!
Sean MeadorDecember 7, 2016The chicken is great, but the service has been SLOW the last couple of visits.- Best fried chicken, fried pickles are Devine & fried pies
- The Commercial AppealAugust 26, 2011Best fried chicken in Memphis. Get some fried green tomatoes or fried pickles. Heck, get both.
