We came to Gus's just a few days after it was reopened for dine-in. We didn't have to wait too long for a table, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. Food was very good and, again, we didn't have to wait too long. The guacamole appetizer was a little different from what we were used to, but very tasty. I had the tri tip and my wife had the chicken combo, and we ended up boxing half my wife's dinner - serving size was generous. We would have ordered dessert if there had been a gluten free option, so if Gus's were to add a flourless cake or something, it would definitely be a hit with us.
Heard from friends about this place so we had to see how it stacked up. Since it's fairly new & crowds are challenging, we went mid day & had a very short wait, went for a walk in the new center & were quickly texted for our table time. Several sauces are on the table from their BBQ sauces & Mustard too. Drinks are well made, had their American Mules in copper pots & shared Gus' chilli. A cup is plenty to share. The chili is a bit more soupy by great chunks of meat & a super taste. Yummy sweet potato fries. We split the full BBQ baby backs & they were right up there with the best in the area. Servers & host Michael were cordial & professional, service was fast !!
The wait for a table was not too bad & it was warm enough to sit outside and catch up some. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. We split a combo and it was enough to both of us to get stuffed and one to have lunch off of it tomorrow! We also split the Blueberry cobbler and i can't say enough about how yummy it was. Well worth stopping by. I give it two thumbs up for my first visit.
Arrived at 5:35 p.m. on Friday, I was told that a waiting time for the dinner table would be 1 hour and a half. I got the last seat at the bar for a Happy Hour drink. The Moscow Mule Cocktail at $7 is very good. However, the appearance of Ribs or classic wedge salad is not impressive.
We were quoted a 2 hour wait for a table for 2, so we opted for the bar. Bartender who waited on us was super nice and patient with questions. Drinks were on point. We had soup of the day, was great. Our main courses took a long time to come out. Bartender apologized a few times for the wait. Food was ok, not the best BBQ I've had, but I'm from Texas so BBQ expectations are high. 7 oz brisket with 2 sides $21.
