Well, timing is everything because we finally got to eat their delicious food today (6/20/26) at the annual Juneteenth event at the Carver Museum/Library. It's an extremely hot and humid and typical Austin summer day and the line went on forever. Guess what? It was so worth almost suffering heat exhaustion. Seriously. Wanna know how good that food is? I was wearing a plain white tee shirt that got destroyed. How & why? Because I was eating like I've never had food before and got it all over me! I'm messy when the food is good. I had the chopped beef sandwich and my boyfriend had the brisket. Y'all, that's some fine barbecue. Sizzlin' good. That was some of the most tender meat we've ever smacked our lips on. It literally melted in our mouths. The sauce-yes, need it on everything. Please & thank you. Support local. Support Black-owned businesses.

Everything was perfect and I will definitely be on the lookout for them when I am craving Soul Food.

There are meals you enjoy... and then there are meals that make you pause mid-bite and question…read moreevery other fried chicken decision you've ever made in your life. Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken? Yeah. It's that kind of place. We went for the chicken sandwiches and I need you to understand--these were not just "good." These were ruin-other-places-for-you good. Crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned... the kind of sandwich that makes you immediately start planning your next visit before you've even finished the first one. Now let's talk sides, because they did not come to play. Coleslaw (mine): fresh, balanced, actually flavorful (which is rare because let's be honest... slaw can be a gamble). This one? Solid win. Fried okra (my friend's): I am extremely picky about fried okra. Like, I side-eye most of it. But THIS? Golden, crispy, not a hint of that weird slimy nonsense. It was so good we ordered more to take home... which tells you everything you need to know. And because we clearly make excellent life choices, we shared a chess pie for dessert. Rich, sweet, buttery perfection. What really tied it all together though? The service. Warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being over the top. The kind of service that makes you feel taken care of, not rushed. Bottom line: Every single bite was worth every penny--and honestly, I would've paid more and still walked out happy. This is one of those spots that doesn't just meet expectations... it casually exceeds them and then sends you home thinking about it later like a crush you're not over yet.

How many places can you say that both main dish and sides are good? Also, for it to be reasonably priced? Ordered the 1/2 chicken plate. Comes with (1)breast, wing, thigh, and leg. Sides were beans and Cole slaw. Ordered a small order of Mac and cheese. Total was ~$26. Whenever my wife and I travel, we usually share plates so we have more room to try other things. 100% enough food for two people to hold you over for a solid meal with out making you take a nap. If you're hungry, that plate it self will absolutely keep you full for the 50% of the day. Staff has always been friendly. Service is generally quick but there can be a line depending upon when you arrive. Pro tip is to order to go if you have a nearby hotel or to door dash. If you eat inside, inside has plenty of tables and chairs. Cafeteria style more or less where you sit what's available. Plenty of staff to lend assistance. Generally people are chill

I was warmly greeted at the entrance by the gentleman manning the cash register and takeout orders. My server was Hannah C. and she took great care of me and her other customers. She was pleasant, thoughtful, attentive, and had a great personality. She told me about their Saturday special (today only) on fried chicken wings. She was thoughtful in bringing one of those fly fans to my table because I sat in the corner where they seem to congregate. She was a joy (10/10)! I ordered the starter of Fried Green Tomatoes, served with ranch dressing (4/5). I finally got a chance to try it. It had a nice seasoned coating on them. The tomato itself was firm and slightly bitter but I liked them. I ordered the Snacks 2 piece Dark, which includes the chicken & white bread (4/5). The chicken was crunchy, juicy, and had a little heat. YUM! Come check them out. Support your local business.

On our first trip I was so amazed with the food I forgot to post a review. I had oxtails, yams, and mac & cheese. Oxtails were on a bed of rice with a very tasty gravy. Yams were on point.

Yeah, except for one thing... these chicken strips are PERFECT!

The line was consistent and the meats/seafood is cooked fresh, so there is a wait. Each plate was about $15, which is average. The portions were better than expected, which I appreciate and she made sure that I saw my plate contents before she bagged them up (extra credit on Customer Service) Now, about the taste ...I mean, overall, it was just OK!!! And, I really wanted to be "wow'd, " but it just wasn't. Though the fish was a large piece, it was just OK. The wings had a sweet seasoning on them, which I didn't care for. The collards were a bit too spicy for me. The Mac had too much cajun seasoning-plus, it wasn't baked . The Peach Cobbler didn't have enough juice or peaches in it, which made it kinda dry. Will we return...probably to try the oxtail & gumbo. Will it be a priority...probably not!
