Brisket sandwich was AMAZING and I'm a tough critic w BBQ. Meat portion size was VERY impressive for the price. Toasted buttery bun, chef kiss. Gave me two different BBQ sauces, both were good. Love that I didn't get charged extra for fries. Service was great, got a beer within a few mins while I waited for my order to go. By the time I got home 20 mins later it was still warm. Ambiance was average but who cares if the food and beer was great! read more

This is a dive bar. Fairly small, with tables around the outside perimeter for dining. That said, the bbq is outstanding. Large portions, very fair prices, and excellent flavor. Definitely worthy of a stop or even going a bit out of your way. Service was a little slow, with one guy tending bar, taking and delivering orders, but not overly so. read more

Our second visit to Gus's did not disappoint. Solid 4.5 Good bbq, fast friendly service, neighborhood vibe. We definately need to stop in more frequently. QR code menus. Bar seating, hightop and lowtop tables. Standard bbq staples Wings were great with a crisp to the skin and juicy meat. And I appreciate the fries are hand cut! My rating rationale +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +.5 Atmosphere/vibe (leans towards dive bar) +1 Value read more

Walked in on 4th of Jjuly and ordered 1.5lbs of pulled pork. It was ready in about 10 mins and was super tender and flavorful. The sauce came on the side and it was great - a vinegary-based house sauce. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

Nice place to relax and enjoy a draft beer or a not so watered down drink! Service was good, friendly and knowledgeable about what's good for the taste or experience you're looking for. Got the all meat meal to try everything they smoke. Brisket was juicy (just need more of a pepper finish for my personal preference). Ribs had great smoke and good bark and all the available sauces complemented them without any one of them standing out. The pulled pork and chicken were both tender and juicy and again the sauces just complemented them as well. The bacon cheese fries were great with no skimping on the bacon. Jalapeño poppers were fantastic . Chicken wing were traditional. I got them plain with ranch for dipping and these too were perfectly cooked with a crispy exterior and juicy interior. All around a wonderful experience. read more

My husband and I were on a road trip from Florida to NJ and made it our mission to stop at local places along the way to really get a feel for the community and local food. Gus Bar and BBQ surpassed our expectations. We passed through quickly, so we only had time for the French fries with BBQ pulled pork on top to split, but we were wowed by how delicious it was. We were presented with about four BBQ sauces to choose from and tried each one--every single one was amazing. The local ambiance was friendly and community-oriented, and the service was extremely friendly. The vibes here are definitely "come as you are," and I love that! Definitely stop in--you won't regret it. read more

Gus's Bar & BBQ - Best Bar in the world! #coldmillers - Bars Near Me - Inwood, West Virginia

They have great food and it's a fun place to stop at. They also always have daily food specials and drink specials

Cut to the chase: Would we go back? of course. The meat alone is worth it. Now for the details... The bill = (-) 1 star: We didn't notice until we left, but there is a leverage fee on our bill. It was 3% of the total bill, including the tip, so I am assuming it's a credit card fee that they pass on to the patron. I would not care, except I did not see a notification anywhere that we would be charged a LEVERAGE fee and we we not given the option to pay with cash. The total bill w/ fee was $52.00 No beverage and no dessert On to the Food: Appetizer: Chicken Wings: we ordered 6 pc seasoned in spicy cajun. The seasoning was heavy on the salt. The wings were crispy and served with the choice of blue cheese or ranch. No celery sticks and no other wing sauce available. Probably pass on those the next time. We got the All BBQ platter, which was a good value - feeds 2 people and we took home leftovers The Meats: * * * * 4.5 stars: Ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket: I spent 22 years in Texas and the bbq meat should stand alone: Meaning the flavor is great and sauce is not needed. The flavor of the meat at Gus's is outstanding. Ribs are smoked to perfection - another reviewer said smoked with love.. and I would agree. Pulled pork and pulled chicken were both flavorful and moist. Brisket was flavorful and had a nice bark and a thick smoke ring, but it was on the chewy side. The meat was well-seasoned and not salty. Sides: You get 3 sides --- wish they bumped it to 4 if you're 2 people sharing. We had 2 garden salads that were FRESH and crispy. No iceberg lettuce, they use romaine, tomatoes and onions, crispy seasoned croutons and some yellow cheddar cheese. Delicious! 1 side of green beans with hamhocks. They were ok. Canned green beans with a little bit of ham hock flavor. Not enough seasoning for our taste. Sauces: they had 2 sauces - neither was a hit for us. We like spicy thick sauce (like Rudy's bbq in Tx) :) The 1st sauce was a vinegar/sweet thin sauce - I think the waitress said like Memphis style. The other was a house sauce, slightly thicker and more balanced in flavors. The waitress/bartender told us it was spicy. LOL. We like ghost pepper sauce so no, the sauce was not spicy - but some of you might think it is. We had our own sauces with us - but we didn't need them!! the meat really is that good. read more

Very friendly and attentive employees! We tried Gus's based on Yelp ratings and it did not disappoint. Two of us had pulled pork sandwiches (they smoke the pork on-site - - delicious!!!), and one had the (mammoth) BLT sandwich. I think there was 1/2 pound of bacon on it. Everything was delish. read more

Was moving into the area and wanted to try out a local place. Saw that Gus's Bar and BBQ was practically within walking distance so we figured we give it a shot. The atmosphere was very reminiscent of what I grew up around and I liked it. It's obviously popular with the locals because the bar was full of people having a good time. It took a minute for someone to take our drink and food order but I just figured it was because we weren't usuals which hey I get it. We ordered burgers and fries and asked how well we wanted them cooked. We both said medium well, a little pink in the burger isn't too hateful. Fifteen minutes later the food comes out, they look great. The fries were amazing. The burgers were RAW with only a thin layer of actual cooked beef. We were already there for almost 30mins now and were hungry so we said screw it and ate them....which was a big mistake because I ended up with mild food poisoning later that evening.. read more

Gus's is a great local gem. The staff is extremely friendly and the drinks are cold! They have daily specials and their BBQ is fantastic. Sometimes it's really loud with the music going and other times you can hear a conversation on the other side of the bar, so that's just a roll of the dice. The food is good and I definitely recommend this spot! read more

From out of town, needed a good place to eat. Was looking for great reviews on the BBQ and saw this place. Then I saw the Trump sign and was thrilled. Had the BBQ sampler platter and Buffalo wings to share with the husband. We were both so happy with everything we got. Even the slaw was excellent. Hope to make it back here sometime! read more

What a nice surprise! First of all, it is a bar. The bartender, Collin, was our server and very friendly. He recommended the All BBQ platter to share. It came with a huge amount of pulled pork, pulled chicken, 4 ribs and brisket plus 3 sides. The meats were delicious. The pulled pork was my favorite. The smokey sauce was our favorite. The cole slaw was just how I like it, just right blend of creamy with a touch of vinegar. The platter also came with cornbread. read more

Go for wings every couple of weeks. Usually very good wings good beer and great service.

This is the perfect small town dive-ish bar. Great food and drink at fair prices. There are very loyal and regular customers. No matter what night I go in, I'm bound to see some familiar faces. The environment is even okay for children. The building is somewhat small. It probably holds around 50-75 customers at a time. There's a fenced in outdoor area where a lot of the smokers hang out. You can probably eat out there but I've never tried. All of the bartenders/servers are very friendly and good at what they do. No matter how packed the place is, you never have to wait long for a beer. The food is consistent and well cooked. The menu is just okay in my opinion but the majority of people seem to like it. There are smoked-in-house meats but they don't offer them as specials. Mondays are $0.75 wing nights. I order them extra crispy and extra saucy. Their hot buffalo sauce was too hot for me. No celery is offered at this time. Tuesdays are 1/4 burgers and military/LEO night. Wednesday is NY strip steak. Thursday is members night with steak and cheese sandwiches. Friday has fish fry sandwiches. I wish hard and soft-shell tacos were a menu item. They have all the meat and fillings in stock already. It could be a taco Tuesday special. Pulled pork tacos would be amazing here. read more

If you want a place like the bar in cheers then this is the spot! The food is phenomenal and the staff and customers could not be more welcoming! Can not wait to come back. read more

Great service and good food! The staff is very friendly and enjoyed the meal. We ordered the wings, pulled chicken sandwich and beef brisket. They were all great. The baked bean was one of the best I had. For dessert we ordered apple pie with ice cream. read more

Great bbq and ribs. Half a rack of ribs was huge. Excellent service and bartender. I will be back again.

Before I review the food at Gus's, I want to give a disclaimer that I have lived in TX and have experienced some of the most amazing BBQ a person can hope for. Ever since I moved to WV, I've been on the hunt for some great brisket. I feel like my expectations are reasonable because I know I will probably never find outstanding brisket outside of TX, but I will settle for great. I decided to try Gus's after a couple of people on social media mentioned that the BBQ was good here. I'm honestly starting to think that people who have never had TX BBQ don't know what good BBQ is supposed to taste like. The brisket was mediocre at best. It was dry....including the pieces that should have been moist. The flavor was ok, but the texture of it was all wrong. A properly smoked brisket is tender and the fat should essentially melt. The fat wasn't rendered down and it was rubbery. I was also truly disappointed in the coleslaw. It had an odd sweet flavor that was off-putting. The loaded fries were fine and the BBQ sauces were probably the best part of the meal. I'm giving them 3 stars for trying. Perhaps the other food is better, but if you're looking for some truly good brisket, this isn't it. read more

Their ribs are top notch. You can tell that they smoke them with love! Highly recommend!

BBQ was amazing!!! We had the bbq brisket sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese (Mac and cheese was extra) the brisket usually comes with French fries. The brisket was juicy and pulled apart easily. The Mac and cheese reminded me of the recipe my mother makes and we were told the broccoli salad is def worth a try. We didn't get it this time but will def be back again for more. The atmosphere is local and bright. Music is a little loud but that is minor compared to how good the food is. Even the beer selection is good with your regular options alongside some nice local made beers. I highly recommend giving it a try!! read more

Great customer service. Amazing back porch area for firepit, cornhole, etc. Lovely spot to relax and hang out. Didn't eat but food looked delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Great Wings.. Staff was Kind, Friendly and Welcoming... Prices are also good. Clean.

Amazing smoked brisket sandwich and banana pudding. Very authentic. But not the friendliest place if you're not from WV

We have been here 2times And it's very consistent! The service was great and the food was spot on! Steak and cheese with fries!! Got to have! We will be back! read more

We ended up arriving here in a rush of folks on bikes. It was early and staffing was low. The staff that were there did a great job of keeping the food and drink moving. The ribs, Mac and cheese, and baked beans were great. The corn bread was some of the best we have had anywhere. The drinks were kept filled and they made sure our first visit will not be our last. Great experience! read more

We happened upon this local spot on a visit to the Martinsburg/Winchester area and were pleasantly surprised with the food and happy with the drink prices. We had the rib platter and brisket platter with sides: baked beans, mac and cheese, and hand cut fries. Everything was yummy. read more

Fast service and friendly staff. Almost always had the chicken wings, on a late Friday afternoon.

I am a absolutely in love with this place. Best ribs ever! Ask for the BBQ sauce in the fridge. The Blue Burger is awesome with fried onions and blue cheese crumbles. Drinks are fairly priced. They have events throughout the week with a members night on Thursday and Trivia on Sunday afternoon. But the ribs though read more

Passed by this place a bunch of times- about 30 times, never stopped - today randomly stopped in to pick up some carry out- everything ordered was top notch. I will definitely be back in and I will post more pics- can't wait to try the fish sandwich. read more

pulled chicken sandwich 10/10! First timer and We loved everything . We had wings , beef brisket & fried , and pulled chicken and tots w/ spicy garlic ranch read more

This is a little hidden jem. I have been here many times and have always had great service, good food, and easy dive bar atmosphere. They also have smoked meat on the menu which has always been very good. It doesn't look like much from the outside but is always a good time. read more

We've heard about this place from several people, driven by it several times, and finally stopped in on a random Saturday afternoon after going out for lunch and taking a little drive. So glad we did! The prices are great, the staff is friendly and attentive, and everyone in there was super friendly. You can tell that most everyone is a regular but that didn't stop anyone from welcoming us in. We immediately felt "at home". We ended up talking to various groups of people and stayed so long that we were there for dinner! We ordered a pound of shrimp to split and a BBQ combo platter to go. The shrimp was AMAZING! We ate the BBQ the next day for lunch. Even "leftover" it was delicious, so I can only imagine how good it would have been if we had eaten it fresh & hot the night before. They have a nice list of daily specials. There are a few TVs throughout the restaurant (and we've been told that they'll put it on any sports game that we want to watch) as well as a jukebox. This place is a little bit out of the way for us, so we've only been there once. If we lived closer I could see this place being our regular hangout spot. I'm looking forward to going back. read more

I've been in several times to eat and drink. The service is horrible. I sat with an empty glass for 15 minutes while 2 bartenders walk by me. If you are not a regular or totally demanding attention (which is what I had to do to get my check) you may or may not be waited on. The food was great, but if you can't get it, there is no point in ordering. read more
