Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken

When my friend told me about this place, I was there the next day. Good service, friendly and great food. I had the 3 piece plate with Coleslaw and Bake Beans. Yes this is one of best Fry Chicken I had here in Arizona. The owner came to our table and ask how was everything, I like that, they are interested on your opinion. That is caring so Thank you to the Staff in GUS'S.
You will see me once a week at least.

The chicken was juicy and perfectly fried. The skin not overly crispy. Just a bit of heat. Potato salad was creamy. Not a mustard potato salad but slightly sweet. Baked beans were quite good. The two-piece plate with two sides of of $10. Avery good deal in my book.

The experience here was kinda everywhere. The look of this place is so homey and inviting. You get to seat yourself and all the chairs look different like you are in someones kitchen. My party go the fried green tomatoes($6.75), fried okra($6.50) and two 3 piece wing plates(each around $12). The greens and the mac and cheese cost extra to upgrade. Now let's get into the food. The chicken has a kick. If we compare it to the Popeyes spicy chicken this is spicier. Keep in mind they have no non spicy option only the chicken fingers. Although the spicy it is very crispy, tender and juicy. Now like other reviews have said the mach and cheese is very under whelming. It was too salty but unseasoned at the same time. The greens where also too salty. The okra and the tomatoes were the best part of the meal. If I were to come back I would only get the okra and the tomatoes. Defiantly try it for yourself!

Wow! I am normally not a fan of fried chicken but this place hit it out of the park. The texture, the softness and crispiness, everything was perfect. The mac & cheese, potato salad was also delicious. The place is located in downtown Mesa. You have to find parking on the side on the street but not difficult to find a spot. Truly world famous!

Super happy with my first Gus’s experience - service was fantastic, the space is really nice and the food was excellent. I had the tenders and they were really delicious - I appreciated that the breading was minimal and the ranch dressing was so good too. I was expecting a little more taste from the Mac n cheese but still no complaints, I would definitely order it again. One thing I didn’t realize was that it’s an actual sit down restaurant which was a nice surprise.
