I love their chicken wings usually get it delivered. But I was in town and decided to go pick up an order. There's a bit of construction around it, so be prepared for that, but there's plenty of parking. Very spacious when you walk in. Staff were nice. As I put my order in to go, it didn't take long under 15- 20 minutes. Everything was nice and hot when I got to the hotel, and it smelled delicious read more

Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Went to the restaurant today because I came across a Reddit that said this was one of the best places for fried chicken. I ordered the 3 piece dark plate with greens, baked beans, & fries. To start off, the restaurant is small but it's comfortable. You can eat at the bar or a table. The service is excellent and they are super friendly upon entering the building. The food was good, the chicken has a lot of flavor especially adding some jalapeños to the mix. Everything I ordered was spectacular besides the greens. It definitely required some flavor but they are still pretty edible. I would recommend people come here. read more

We really enjoyed ourselves here! Got done eating some sushi but still hungry and decided, hey! Let's try Gus's world famous fried chicken! Got a half bird with seasoned fries, mac and cheese and a coconut pie. The chicken was really tasty and perfectly cooked! The golden brown crust just made my mouth water! The batter tasted unique and crispy! Seasoned fries and mac & cheese were just okay for me so I may skip that next time. The star of the show.. their coconut pie. Don't be fooled by its humble outer crust. It's creamy and delicious! This combined with their chicken and stellar service for being a low cost dinner option, I put it 5 star! The waitresses here are real casual, kind and friendly. Kept checking on us and making sure we were taken care of. Great people! read more

I wanted fried chicken but not the usual chains. That's how I ended up at Gus's. I ordered wings to go. Although I appreciate the fact that they validated the parking, I was not impressed with the chicken. It was dry. Fried in old grease maybe? Not to mention it was just thrown in a bag. And the sweet potato pie? Meh. On a brighter note, the staff was pleasant and although there wasn't anyone dining in, I did see several people coming in and out with to-go orders. So, try them for yourself. read more

When I tell you, this was probably the best fried chicken I've had in a while. This is the best fried chicken I've had in a while. I could barely keep my hands out of the bag since we ate it to go. The batter of the chicken was super crispy. The chicken itself was juicy and not dry. The service was pretty quick. It took maybe like 20 minutes for us to get our five pieces of chicken two sides and fries. And I loved that they validity Pelham, where they're literally is nowhere to park. You can park there for free when you're ordering read more

Went for lunch around 2 p.m. and I was the only one in the restaurant, so service was fast and attentive. Gus's chicken is one of the best fried chicken spots to hit up. Chicken is flavorful and juicy, skin is crispy, both sides were delicious! No point in going into detail because it's one of those places that speak for themselves! The only downside is the parking, not much of an area to park and the area that is available, you have to pay. Besides the parking- everything else is top notch! Highly recommend! read more

My brother & I had 2 Piece Dark Plate-subbed w/ greens & mac 'n cheese (standard is cole slaw & potato salad). My sister-n-law had the 2 Piece Dark Plate-standard. We also had a side of fried green tomatoes & the breading was tasty. Never had them before and they were delicious. Chicken was juicy and flavorful. Would definitely return! read more

THIS FRIED CHICKEN HERE IS BOMB. I literally can't get over how perfectly fried the chicken was here. The service here was great! Truly outstanding and a must if your in the area. Menu is good with variety of items . This place is packed with flavor. Everything we tried we truly enjoyed. My wife and I shared a plate of food since we weren't very hungry and wanted to jus try this place. We killed that plate. We tried a plate with a couple sides and a slice of pecan pie. The baked beans and Mac and cheese were amazing. The pecan pie wa great. Honestly our meal was a 10/10. Do your live a favor and come here if you haven't already. read more

This is my first time trying Gus'. The chicken was the star of the show! The chicken with the peppers and the Louisiana hot sauce was chef kiss. The mac & cheese serve is watery and lacked salt. It wasn't too bad though. They make it with Velveeta and top it with paprika. The coleslaw was decent as well and was mayonnaise based. If I were to come back again, it would definitely be for the chicken. The service was great! read more

I'm so in love with this chicken here. One good reason is because it has it's own unique taste. I love the chicken thighs, mac and cheese and fries! Food always comes out hot and fresh! You can get it to go or sit in their diner area. Customer service is old school, so come and get your hands a little greasy and leave filling perfect!

None of the sides that I ordered were spectacular but the chicken was!! I love the breading/batter that was on the chicken. The restaurant is in (or near) Deep Ellum. Even though they have a parking lot in front, it was marked as paid parking. I think I saw a sign saying the restaurant will validate parking but that was after I found street parking. This is a very casual restaurant with moderate prices and good service. read more

Decided to come here after trying their Austin location previously. This location tastes much better than Austin, in my opinion. The chicken (white or dark) is always juicy and cooked fresh. The only thing that makes them different from other chicken places is their unique breading. The breading adds a crispy & slightly spicy crunch to their chicken. All the sides are good as well, especially the macaroni and cheese. The prices are reasonable! A family of four can eat for $40. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Inside the restaurant is a unique rustic feeling with 70's music playing in the background. read more

12 Noon on a Monday, party of 2. 1/2 chicken platter w/beans and fries, fried green tomaters for an appetizer. Place was dirty and dumpy (full of character), but food and service were above-average. Nicki was very friendly and helpful, esp when it came to ordering. Fried green tonaters were exceptional -- not greasy and batter was tasty, even w/out dipping. Beans were very flavorful, as was the slaw (according to my wife). Chicken was freshly prepared but over-cooked and a tad dry. read more

I tried this place in Austin last time and had a pretty good experience so I wanted to check out the location at Dallas. It's in the downtown area but comes with a paid parking lot behind the restaurant that makes it easy. The place is nicely decorated with ample indoor seating. We got the 2 piece dark, coleslaw, potato salad, and collard greens as the sides. We also opted to try the pecan pie for dessert. The fried chicken is very tasty and has a bit of spice for its seasoning. The sides were all delicious, especially the coleslaw and pitato salad. The collard greens was soft but extremely salty..we couldn't finish it. The pecan pie was also a solid choice albeit a bit sweeter than preferred. Overall, a very satisfying meal. Come here if you enjoy a bit of a spice kick with your friend chicken! read more

This is hands down the best fried chicken in Dallas. I love everything about it and wish it was closer to home, but it's probably best this way because I would be here all of the time. The chicken is fried perfectly, the taste is on point, and the sides really bring the plate together. I love getting the fried okra, collard greens and Mac and cheese but you can't go wrong with anything here! The staff is always very sweet and makes the experience so much better. It feels very homey in this place. If you haven't had Gus's, you're missing out. read more

Finally tried the World Famous Gus' Fried Chicken And it did not miss! A couple of friends told about this place, and I finally got to visit on my last trip to Dallas. Things I loved: -The chicken is fried to order y'all! -You will get HOT and FRESH chicken -The chicken is spicy (I love spicy food) I ordered the 2-piece dark combo, and it comes with beans and coleslaw with a piece of bread. Classic, and it was fantastic. You can change your sides to other things, but I wanted to try it as is. My date ordered a larger plate with the fried okra as a side. He cleaned his plate. We ordered the sweet potato pie to-go because we were both so full. The pie was amazing by the way - get it! S/N: This location is in Deep Ellum, so you know it's prime real estate. The staff was super friendly and showed great hospitality, even though you could tell they were pretty busy. Shoutout to our server Lay, because she was so sweet, accommodating, and great at her job! I went on a date here Friday night and came back sauturday afternoon for lunch. That's how impressed I was with the quality of food and level of service here. Don't sleep on this place. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Dallas, because I'm obsessed! read more

Ever been to a place, and as you walk up to it, the customers just leaving are raving about how good it is and stop you to tell you about it? How about as you are about to order, the staff starts offering suggestions on what is really good that day without you asking? How about mouth-watering signage outside that had you craving it for weeks? THIS is THAT PLACE! Great friendly service as I walked in. Not just wanting to take my order, but spending a few seconds getting to know me and then suggesting the potato salad as a side. The price was reasonable and the order was ready, surprisingly quick! I ordered 3 pieces of chicken, fried okra, and that potato salad they made me crave! It was well-packed as I was getting it to go. People, that was great tasty, spicy (not too hot) fried batter. It tightly locked in the moisture of the chicken! REALLY good. REALLY moist! The potato salad was the best I think I've ever had. Seriously! The okra was good, but it wasn't as great as the chicken and the potato salad. Dining in early on a Sunday will be my next trip. It has a cool and quaint interior filled with an enticing decor. I wanted to see more, but my order was ready and my taste buds were demanding I get after that chicken! . read more

Are here for my birthday. I specifically came all the way Dow row to this location and was not disappointed. It's just really good fried chicken, with a nice spice kick. Sides were good as well; but the best is the chocolate buttermilk pie. If you've never had that, you are missing out. I would also add our server was really attentive and super nice. There is also parking right in the lot, so that's helpful to not have to find a place to park if they have some available for their customers. read more

Food (3.5/5): I ordered the 2 piece dark chicken, but got 3. The seasoning is decent, but I didn't really care for the skin. I usually like my skin super crispy and crunchy which they didn't have. The fried okra was good and the seasoned fries, mine at least, were not that seasoned-the sides were both good, but mediocre. I had some of my friend's Mac and cheese that was good, but none of it really amazed me. Overall, the food was average, because I didn't find anything that special; very much mediocre. However, my friend really liked this place-he's the only reason why I went here. Service (3.5/5): Service was good. Nothing special. I ordered the 2 piece dark meat, but the server gave me 3 pieces and charged me for 3. I only ate 1 1/2 of the meats and gave one to my friend. I feel like service wise, I would suggest them to improve by repeating the order. Ambiance (3.5/5): Extremely casual, full of families and friends. The vibes were giving Ft Worth vibes. It's different from what I'm used to, but I believe the food, ambiance, and store visuals do tie together. I feel like a 3 makes it look bad, but to me, a 3 is just average. This store wasn't bad or good, but average. My friend really likes this place, but I have specific qualifications when it comes to fried chicken. I personally wouldn't come back, but if he wanted to, I would go just for him. read more

I used to come here all the time about a year ago until I needed to take a little break from eating so much fried chicken. But it became my favorite, so when we were traveling and saw a Gus's Fried Chicken, I *had* to stop in! Sorry, no pictures this time--it was so good I completely forgot to snap any! We ordered the 2-piece dark snack and 3 tenders with coleslaw, and let me tell you--it tasted just as good as I remember from a year ago. So freaking good! And that coleslaw? The *only* coleslaw I'll eat. Of course, we'll be back sooner rather than later. Gus's never misses! read more

So these 5 stars are only on the taste and flavor of the chicken and sides we ordered through doordash. I have not visited the location. But this chicken was amazing!! Real old school fried chicken. Not really breaded per se but delicious in every way. Crispy, juicy, flavorful (a bit spicy/hot/but very subtle) and so delicious. I haven't had fried chicken like that in a long time. We ordered some fries and they were great also. Tasted like homemade fries which are my favorite. The mac and cheese was also very good- the elbows a bit over cooked but the flavor was on point. Prices were on the higher end but definitely worth it! I need to go back and next time visit the location. But you have to try this chicken. Delish! read more

As awesome as the Memphis & San Antonio locations. It was a short walk from the DART station to the restaurant. It has the same vibe inside as other locations. We split a half chicken platter with and extra side of Mac & cheese. I also got a root beer float! Talk about a great Sunday brunch. Our server was also as great as the food. The chicken was, as always, crispy & moist. The sides were hot and fresh. We were also allowed to substitute an extra thigh for the leg. The joint really started to fill up as we ate. It's obviously popular in Deep Ellum, as it should be. Make the trip. It is soooooo worth it. read more

Wow wow wow. This chicken is fantastic, phenomenal, stupendous, mouth-watering addiction, you fill in the adjective. I've had this place bookmarked for a while and today we made it here after going to Fair Park. Parking was not too bad. I paid in the private lot and subsequently found out from another Yelp review they will validate although it is not clear how that process works. It's$5 for 2 hours so that is not too bad. I had the 3 piece dark, the wife the two piece dark, and the kid had tenders with fries. The wait was pretty long after placing our order, I would say about 40-45 minutes. But the first bite (and every one thereafter) made the wait worthwhile. The chicken came out fresh from the fryer and was steaming hot. So they make the chicken to order. The old cliche, you have not had fried chicken until you have eaten at Gus's. The outside is crunchy, the inside is moist and tender. The flavor had a little kick but is not "hot." They do not offer different flavor profiles to choose from, it's all one flavor. But the flavor is simply addictive. You finish your piece and want to clean the bones, it is that good. Hands down, the best fried chicken I have ever had. In my life. Period. We are fans. I will probably dream about Gus's fried chicken until we are able to return. Prices are reasonable. read more

Ok so I had an unique first time experience that I wouldn't say was good or bad. I read a comment about confusion on how the flow of seating operate and I would agree. It felt like a takeout restaurant that just so happened to have a dining area as no one seated you. I observed a group seat themselves but was unsure how the food ordering was going to take place as it didn't appear to be a server. Now on to the food. I ordered the 2pc white and it was hot and fresh. It was pretty good. As for the sides, the fries tasted like a frozen bag from the grocery store and the coleslaw was too sweet for my liking. I asked about the baked beans and was politely told to substitute bcuz they weren't good. So I did just that so I'm passing the word. The Mac and cheese looked blah and not homemade so don't have high expectations. read more

I was so impressed with this place when it first opened. The last several times I've been it was terrible.

Management should be replaced. read more
