Smokkee SingletonApril 27, 2017Great chicken. Spicy like I like it. Sides are great too. Only complaint is its twice as pricy as Harold's but not better. In fact I'd say Harold's actually is better. Gus's is still great too though.
Erik RowleyNovember 2, 2016Great to see Gus's finally open in Chicago and the West Loop is the perfect location. Awesome hot chicken and southern cuisine! Take your cup home as a souvenir.
- MikeFebruary 12, 2016This was some surprisingly delicious fried chicken - hint of spicy. Prices were pretty reasonable. This seems like a good place to mow down some fried chicken, drink beers, and watch the game.
Heather FolsomOctober 27, 2017This chicken is spicy! Just a warning if you're not into that kind of thing. The breading is perfectly crisp, and the meat is moist & flavorful. The coleslaw was delicious.- Christopher FlossSeptember 22, 2019The BEST #friedchicken in #fultonmarket. Hot, crispy and juicy, with a touch of spice. Real down-home feel. Great homemade sides (the potato salad and cole slaw were awesome). We will be back soon.

One best fried chickens spots I have been to in awhile, the bartender also makes a great old fashion you won't be disappointed- Jessica GouldAugust 29, 2017If you had been here on more then one occasion: you all should try the original Gus's World Famous Chicken Shack in Memphis, TN Sometime in the near future!
Helen ParkJune 20, 2016Didn't like the french fries - not crispy enough for me. But their chickens amazing - very crispy on the outside and juicy inside with a hint of spicy (kinda salty)
Devon BNovember 4, 2018The Cajun spice rub makes the wings unique. The macaroni was particularly creamy and obviously delicious. Can’t really go wrong.
Kevin WilsonJanuary 25, 2016Great service, service staff thats on top of what Gus' is all about. They brag in all the right ways.And the Fried Chicken? Awesome!
Maria PulidoFebruary 9, 2016Only try it if you like really spicy chicken... Too hot for me... But moist and fried perfectly.
Jared McKiernanDecember 10, 2015It rules. Incredible fried chicken and a great bean/slaw side complement. A+
Santiago BlancoJuly 9, 2016This is a franchise of the original out of Memphis. Great if you are missing your Memphis fix.
Great bartender named Q! Good food, good selection of beer/wine/cocktails
Nash PleasantDecember 24, 2019This spicy fried chicken hails from Memphis and is some of the best in the country.
Pat WindsorNovember 20, 2015Several friends and I had dinner Saturday. The service was terrible. Paid $16 for what was more like a Swanson's frozen dinner. Paid $16 for a 3 piece a tablespoon of ma n cheese and 10 fries.
John ShrimpMarch 17, 2018A slow and monotonous morning can put anyone in a funk. That’s when you need to spice up your day with a trip to Gus’s.- I don't really like pickles, but the fried pickles were really good.
Willie BlackSeptember 11, 2018It’s OK they still have to work on it but for the money it’s not so bad
