The waffles and chicken was so good...the kale salad also made me feel healthy after a morning workout. I was able to split the spice level on the tenders and the heat was manageable on the Hot Chicken. The cinnamon butter on the waffles brought the house down with comfort. The service was also very nice. The ordering process was easy and the staff was able to explain the menu when we had questions.

The setup is simple and unpretentious, but the food speaks for itself. I'm not sure what they put on that chicken, but it was incredibly well seasoned and perfectly cooked. It was juicy on the inside with a crispy, flavorful exterior. We also ordered the fries without the spicy seasoning since I don't do spicy, and they were absolutely amazing. Whatever seasoning they use is the real secret to this place. I couldn't stop eating them. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a delicious, satisfying meal without all the fuss.

Nice cozy place, perfect setting for fried chicken. I am sure they had other stuff, but that was the mission for this visit. Started with fried pickle spears, probably the best I have ever had, no joke. Perfect coating, taste and preparation. I like the spears vs the chips. Had the special which was to legs and two thighs for the price of the 3 pc dark. Beans and slaw. Ok, the chicken was great, moist, seasoned, very well cooked. I will go out of my way to go here for the chicken. Beans, canned with a little flavor added, nothing to brag about the slaw was pretty good. The fries on my friend's plate looked great. Perfect. We got here at about 1145, the place was busy. By 1215, it was packed, but they move people through and do a booming take out. Try it, you will like it. It satisfied my fried chicken desire and.

I enjoyed their fried chicken, which for around $12, came with a thigh and leg, along with ample amounts of coleslaw and fried okra. Even I, as a voracious eater, could not finish all the sides. The chicken itself was beautifully fried in peanut oil, and truly one of the best, juiciest, fried chicken pieces I have ever had. This place is an example of simplicity at its finest. If you are in Houston and craving some down to earth fried chicken, Gus's is the place to go!

Even worse, an employee reportedly put an oil sprayer in their mouth and then used it on customers' food. That is beyond unacceptable--it's disgusting. Tucking the drinks under their chin/mouth to give them to her. This shows a complete lack of basic hygiene, training, and management oversight.

Friendly service just seemed odd during the dinner hour. I was the only customer for a while. This place seemed to maybe be in a transitional phase. Maybe new owners?

The chicken was great! Hot and fresh. The Mac and Cheese was okay. Definitely could do with an upgraded recipe. And I think the cheese was from a nacho cheese bag. Like the ones used for nachos at the ball park. The jalapeños were a nice thought but just didn't mix well with the whole meal. Honestly was hoping this was going to be better than it was. Just didn't mix well not live up to my expectations. Like I said maybe they are in a transitional phase. Not really in a hurry to go back.
