Whenever we go out to lunch at work, we have that one coworker (my boss) that makes a big deal that…read morethe menu has to be gluten free because they're sick and tired of eating a salad or a baked potato. Last week, we all decided to go to Gus', and boy does this place smack. The chicken was spicy, juicy, and crispy, and apparently it is devoid of gluten. Gluten intolerant Big Boss was so happy and got to finally eat something that wasn't a baked potato.

FIRST TIME VISIT!…read more THE LOCATION: Downtown and I believe near the King William community. Street parking is tricky with all the "no parking anytime" signs, but there is paid parking next door, which is pricey, but get this... GUS'S VALIDATES up to one hour. We went on a Sunday afternoon and got a seat fast and was out of there in under an hour. THE MENU: crispy fried chicken. And spicy. Probably not ideal to bring your littles unless they can handle the heat . The hubby selected a chicken tenders meal and I went with a two piece fried chicken meal. I don't like drumsticks, but I'll deal with a drummette. I know, I know. I asked for a thigh and wing and selected bbq beans and Mac n' cheese as my sides. The beans were sweet and tangy and the Mac n cheese was ok. I really enjoyed the crispness of the chicken. Just wish they had a mild version of the chicken, as well. THE SERVICE: I am very impressed at how attentive and friendly the service is here. They don't hover over you but are efficient at the same time. I recommend this place if you're in the area or have a hankering for crispy, spicy chicken! DON'T FORGET! Bring your parking ticket with you

Pete's Hot Chicken is one of my go-to lunch spots, and this visit was another winner…read more The Chicken Caesar Salad was honestly a 10/10. The lettuce was super fresh and crunchy, the dressing was just right, and adding the crispy chicken in mild was the perfect choice. It had just enough heat to make the salad even better without being overpowering. You can never go wrong with the hot chicken tenders. They're a classic for a reason...crispy, juicy, and consistently delicious every time. And let's talk about the bacon mac and cheese. It's easily the best in San Antonio and a must-order every single visit. So creamy, cheesy, and loaded with bacon. We also tried the jalapeño smash burger, and wow. It was juicy, flavorful, served hot, and had the perfect amount of kick. If you're looking for a great weekend lunch, Pete's Hot Chicken is always a solid choice. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. We'll definitely be back.

There is seating on the outside that is covered and has fans. Inside has a cool vibe, with many games to keep you busy until food arrives and possibly after.

Not your average Hot Chicken place, from fresh buns, to crispy chicken on the outside to tender on the inside with good flavor. Only one problem, is wish that we lived closer

From the moment we walked in for First Friday, Chi Chi Birds delivered an unforgettable experience…read more The atmosphere buzzed--with great energy, friendly service, and a kitchen clearly passionate about their craft. We ordered their house-signature hot sliders and fries, and WOW. The sliders arrived hot, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, with just the right kick--you could taste the love in every bite. The fries were golden, crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and paired brilliantly alongside the sliders. Together they hit that sweet spot between bold flavor and comfort food bliss. What stood out most: the staff's attention. They checked in to make sure the spice level was good, offered suggestions for sauces, and kept refills flowing. In a busy evening crowd, they still made it personal. If you're looking for a top-tier spot on First Friday (and every day), Chi Chi Birds is your go-to. We'll definitely be back--and next time we're exploring more of the menu because this place earned it. Highly recommended!

The owner is very friendly! He has been open for around 45 years! My friend already ate and was just debating if she should eat more. I went ahead and ordered the 2 chicken 2 fish and 2 shrimp for 2 people. He started making the order the time my friend was still thinking about eating more. 10 minutes later he opens the window saying he made 3 of each at the price of 2 wanting my friend to try it. That was the nicest gesture! If you love fried chicken please don't sleep on this place! Everything was made to order and absolutely delicious! Including the fries! We did a little picnic style in the back of my trunk in the parking lot and enjoyed watching people. This is the pure definition of a hole in a wall mom and pop place! Highly highly recommend

He said that he followed them from their previous location to this new location. The staff is friendly, it seems family owned. The patrons are also friendly- everyone was social with me at least. It was a cool experience. The food was great! It definitely met all expectations. I would definitely recommend it. It was a bit of a drive for me but I'd do it again. Well worth it!!

While the service was a bit slow, it was completely understandable since it was just one person handling everything. The food was definitely worth the wait.

The combination of sweet mango and spicy habanero with the crispy fries was an absolute winner. I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu.

We did not expect it to be within the old neighborhood of San Antonio, nor on the corner of a gas station. But as we got out, I started to understand why this place was truly loved. They have discounts for veterans, students, and a couple more groups of people I can't remember off the top of my head. They aim to serve their community within the area, offering multiple specials, and opportunities to make their food affordable. It's cheap, sure, but is it worth the wait? I'd say so. We may not have gotten our food under 30 minutes, but by god was it fresh. The lemonade was sweet and representative of a family reunion cook out. If the quality of what they served wasn't indicative of the amount of people that parked and walked up to order some food, it would be my order of catfish nuggets with their sauce, fries, and their large lemonade. They serve catfish, tilapia, and chicken as you'd expect. You can get poppers (also great) and multiple sides, but I say all of this with praise that with your chicken, your fish - it comes with fries. Best part about waiting was observing the community and watching FIFA. Just be sure you pay attention to the area. Highly recommend, though be decent unless provoked, and watch out for the unsavory types looking at your cars. We had one rando walk out and then walk back to their car after doing so to ours... overall, very interesting, and worth their prices. Staff was friendly, and the food was delicious.
