    AH-mazing find. Had no idea, but popped in during Black History month and this entire restaurant checked off all my lists. Amazing service: kind, personable, hospitable Amazing food: A++++ cheese burger + the wedged fries mmHmmm + the sweet tea Atmosphere: Check +++, I shazam'd and shared 3+ songs on my Instagram. Lol, really had a great time venturing into this part of FW for a quick, delicious, and wholesome lunch 10/10

    I was in the neighborhood and stopped in for a quick bite here. It was pretty busy when I walked in but I didn't have to wait too long. I wanted to get the chili but unfortunately they didn't have any so I opted for the turkey club. The sandwich was pretty good, nothing anything special but it did hit the spot and I would like to come back to try the chili sometime. I think this place is more of a catering type of business but you can stop in for some food.

    Lunch menu

    I found this place kinda randomly, and I love it! They do have a super small menu, but that is because they have only recently started serving lunch. I got turkey avocado club, and it was very, very good. The owner is very friendly and even came out to check if we needed anything. The space is small, but it has a very modern feel period they also have a small outside patio, which, you know how us Texans love to sit outside when the weather is nice! I look forward to going back.

    Asian Zing Nachos w/ Diced Chicken

    I will start out by saying this place is ADORABLE. A business colleague and I stopped in for some lunch last week and this is a true gem. The decor is very nice and the service quite exceptional. We had the mint lemonade, shared the Asian zing nachos, each had a bowl of chicken and dumplings and shared the bread pudding. All of it was quite delicious. The chicken and dumplings--cannot speak highly enough of this one! So. Dang. Good! Honestly, the only thing I was disappointed in was the price of the lemonade. I ordered two more to go and it cost me $14! $14 for TWO lemonades--that is quite extreme to me. I paid it because what else was I going to do after I asked for it, but that should have been the price for 4, not two!! I won't order the lemonade again at that cost. Otherwise, I do recommend the lunch here!

    Found this spot on a hangry search for food, late breakfast! I saw it had good reviews and IG photos looked yummy! Food is OUTSTANDING! So, so good. I didn't even have to salt the food! Everything is made in house! Atmosphere is inviting and calming, super cute. All employees were so welcoming & friendly! Immediately texted my husband we HAVE to come back together! Loved it!

    Nice place, sat outside. Good bacon in the BLT, bread was outstanding too. Brisket fries would have been plenty for lunch.

    This place was unreal! I got the Southern slapped garden salad and the flavor depth was amazing. The portion is perfect size and doesn't leave you feeling too full. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also DEF get a cookie.

    Mean Green Fouxger
    Jennifer H.

    Wow! I'm thankful that this place is part of Fort Worth Burger week or I might not have seen them. We Ordered the special burger featured this week- The Mean Green Fouxger and a trio salad. The burger features a beyond burger with the most refreshing micro greens I've ever had. The trio salad we got a house salad, fruit salad, and their famous smoked chicken salad. The chicken salad was perfect. Pleasantly surprised that the fruit salad was not the standard cantaloupe and honeydew but rather strawberries, watermelon, and grapes. We will be back!

    Loved it. We'd been…read moreto the Memphis, TN location about 10 years ago and enjoyed it. Now that we live in the DFW area, it was time to try the Fort Worth location. They are located on a corner and parking is limited. I found street parking on the side street, about a block down in front of a house. We walked inside Gus's about 11:30 am on a Wednesday. They were busy' but had a number of open tables. There are mostly square and rectangular 4-top tables. We chose one by the front windows. A moment after we sat down, our server, Joe K came by to greet us and he took our drink order. Menu's are at the table, so we studied a bit and were ready for Joe when he brought our drinks. I ordered: - Unsweetened Iced Tea - 3 Piece Dark Chicken Plate (my choice: leg, leg, thigh) with Greens and BBQ Beans My wife ordered: 2 Piece White Chicken Plate (breast, wing) with Mac-Cheese and BBQ Beans The chicken was the star for sure. The BBQ Beans weren't special but were decent. The Greens, decent. With each meal plate, the chicken is served on a slice of white bread. The chicken was fried to a deep brown and was real tasty. My dark meat was juicy and tender. My wife's white meat was drier but normal for white meat. My wife's felt the chicken skin was maybe overcooked as it was tough. It was fine to me. I ate her skin :) We'll be back to Gus's!

Everyone's different, not saying they were bad. Just different. And the Mac was not my favorite. Once I saw they pour the bag of Mac n cheese in a heater. Then I was like ahh. I just figured it would be home made like the pies and chicken. Our waiter was sweet and we even had dessert. Recommend the chocolate pie warmed with ice cream. Love. Definitely not too bad. Will come back again. And try different sides.

Based on some reviews, I heard the line to order can get pretty long and I'm glad I did, because the place was packed. My order was ready at the pickup time and was well packed. There is some searing inside, but you would need to get there early to grab a table. My sister and decided to split 2 wraps so we could try more items from the menu. We ordered the mexcrunch wrap and the buffalo chicken wrap. I like how the salads can be made into wraps, which provides more options. I think we both preferred the mexcrunch, simply due to the crunchy texture. I think both wraps would have been better if we could've had the sauce on the side, because the wraps got soggy pretty quickly. The side pasta salad was surprisingly really good, and I see why they serve it. Overall, I'd definitely go back here for a healthy lunch option.

    Finallllllly! A soul food vegan eatery with mush mush flavor!…read more So, hubbs and I were hungry and decided to give Mush Flavor a try. Boy aren't I glad we did. For more details see below. The location: this location is a part of a ghost kitchen. It is located in the corner of a small parking lot. You'll see plenty of food delivery signs above a building...that's the building you want to order from. The interior was just a box room, with a couple of chairs and an Ipad to order from. The service: so, apparently there's normally a receptionist or a welcomer who greets you, but there was noone there the day that we visited. It left us kind of guessing. However, two of the owners came out and made sure they checked in on customers to make sure everyone was taken care of. That was nice. They kept up updated on our order and what was going on in the kitchen. I appreciated that service and updates. The food: the food was goodt! Okay, so the mac n cheese was good. So, I'm not a cheese person. However, their Mac n cheese could've have used some more cheese. Now the actually macaroni was cooked to perfection though. The macaroni really good. The overall, mac n cheese just could've have had a little bit more flavor/cheese. The chicken! OMG the chicken was everything. It had a very bold flavor of spices. The chicken was crispy enough, but not too crispy. It wasn't mushy but was firm. I wish I would've mixed my macaroni n cheese and my chicken together. However that chicken was gobbled up so fast. Overall, I wish the ghost kitchen was a little more welcoming. However the flavor was delicious and I'd definitely be back to try more menu items.

    We were a little surprised at the concept of the space. You walk into a small area with seating and…read morethere's a giant iPad with several restaurants to choose from. So this place is a compilation of restaurants in one space that you can't see. There's just a receptionist desk to receive your order. It takes the personal aspect away it feels cold and soulless to just not talk to anyone but I guess that's the way the world is going. Some of the business owners did peek their heads out and greet us and they were nice but then went back to prepping and cooking their orders. There's no music or entertainment or anything just a waiting room with nothing in it but a bathroom. I get it you get the benefit of starting a restaurant without being in your house you have a nice clean place to cook and serve orders and your overhead is extremely low. It's a great start to businesses but it's very impersonal. I ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of Mac and cheese. I feel like this meal should not have been 30 bucks especially with the money that's saved from not having a stand alone restaurant with employees like cooks, hostess, bus boys and managers. My chicken was really good the seasoning was on point and delicious. The waffle was soggy and soft but I think a lot of people like their waffle that way I prefer a crispy waffle. I'm sure they could easily make it that way but you can't freaking talk to anyone to communicate that request, so you get whatever the computer tells you you can get. The Mac and cheese was ok it could have been cheesier and more creamy I added some non vegan ingredients to get it the way I like it but I have cooked vegan Mac and cheese dishes that had more of a consistency of vegan cheese and noodles. It's good has potential it just needs more love. It wasn't worth 5 bucks though since I had to add to it. So to be honest my 4 stars come from the fact that this is a good business with friendly service. It has great potential and I want to see them succeed since it's a BOB. As a whole I am not a fan of this order from an iPad then wait for your food and not talk to anyone concept. The concept gets 2 stars because it sucks.

I have loved everything I've gotten from them but the fried pork chops are my favorite. I've never gotten a good picture because I only remember after inhaling the food. On Sunday they have Soulfood Sunday plates which come with an entree, 2 sides, a roll or cornbread and a drink. Like I said the fried pork chop is my favorite but my husband has also loved their hamburger and gravy and meatloaf. I also have tried their baked chicken and fried wings and they were all tasty.

Friendly staff and you can tell they just take pride in their business. It shows in every aspect.

He was kind, attentive and efficient. While preparing my glass of wine, another patron began to cough near the direction of my glass.

The setting is definitely the highlight for me. My only disappointment was that I had pretty high expectations after seeing the pictures online. Some of the menu items had changed, and there weren't as many food choices as I expected. The cocktail and wine menus seemed to have much more variety than the food menu. The food was alright, but unfortunately it wasn't a "wow" experience for me. I would say the view is better than the food. That said, our server was very nice and the service was good. The value felt fair considering the beautiful setting and overall experience. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the architecture. I would come back mainly for the view and the experience, especially if you can get a table by the glass.

Think Cracker Barrel vibes, with farmhouse antiques on display and funny sayings on the walls. Pancakes this good = 5 stars. And we know pancakes. Eggs and bacon (a good, meaty cut) were also great, sausage patties were decent on our first visit and outstanding on our second visit. The pancake combo had a good amount of protein to balance the sweet of the pancake and was A LOT of food for only $13.99 (pancake, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, sausage, hash browns, biscuits and gravy or toast). When I first tasted the pancake, my thought was, "Ohhh, man, I'm gonna need three of these delicious babies," but actually by the time I finished it, one was more than enough. The men said the same - they were too full to finish. Breakfast burrito was great, with hash browns mixed into it, a good amount of melty cheese, not too spicy with the jalapeños. There is a lot to choose from on the menu, and you can get almost anything a la carte so that you can order *precisely* what you are in the mood for. For the real test we took a party of seven on a Saturday morning. It was surprisingly not too busy to get a table right away. They got prepared to seat a party of seven, but like a lot of restaurants, won't actually seat you until the entire party arrives. It went perfectly.
