Good spot. Kinda pricey. I got a 3 piece chicken with macaroni and fries and it came to 14 bucks. I had it before in Atlanta and it was really good. I think the chicken I got today was kind of burnt. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars. The place was packed when I went in though. Parking also kind of sucks.

Food is delicious. Best chicken in Ft. Worth. Chicken pieces are huge and the tenders were one of my favorites-also huge! If you haven’t been then you are missing out. Must go!

Gus was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Our fried pickles with dipping sauce was excellent, our chicken and Mac n cheese was delicious, and our sweet tea topped it off! We truly enjoyed ourselves and will DEFINITELY BE BACK! This is a cultural place so I loved that too! The building is older but has character with charm and it was clean (I do recommend a little renovation soon). I adored the old school goodies that played in the background as well. Another highlight was the EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE we received. I can’t remember her name but she truly has compassion and delightfulness in what she does! My only con was the frozen or canned greens. I lived in Memphis for 5 years and they serve fresh greens. As well the pecan pie tasted old and it definitely wasn’t fresh. I prefer whole pecans on my pie too instead of crushed (just my preference). Gus again, is truly a gem that everyone should try!

Man I tried to love this place but I just can't. Sorry to have to come across negative but the chicken is not spicy enough and there is no batter crust, Just fried dried/burnt skin. The place was packed so obviously some people like their chicken that way but I would prefer spicier more flavorful crispy battered chicken served with fresh rolls or biscuits, not just white bread from a loaf. Please try it and decide for yourself but I for one will not be going back. It is too expensive for being chicken. I thought Babe's chicken was expensive but this beat it.

No. They have plain as well. But the spicy isn't all that spicy. Just depends on your tolerance level.

I don't remember seeing the standard state notice in the entrance. It would be best to call ahead and find out.

Not sure but I really doubt they will.

How is the chicken here?

Robert Mosby | Jun 2, 2019
Don Perry | Jun 3, 2019

Maybe I was there on a bad day. Chicken was dry and overcooked. Batter flavor was good, but at twice the price of other places, I don't think it's worth it
