Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken

The experience here was kinda everywhere. The look of this place is so homey and inviting. You get to seat yourself and all the chairs look different like you are in someones kitchen. My party go the fried green tomatoes($6.75), fried okra($6.50) and two 3 piece wing plates(each around $12). The greens and the mac and cheese cost extra to upgrade. Now let's get into the food. The chicken has a kick. If we compare it to the Popeyes spicy chicken this is spicier. Keep in mind they have no non spicy option only the chicken fingers. Although the spicy it is very crispy, tender and juicy. Now like other reviews have said the mach and cheese is very under whelming. It was too salty but unseasoned at the same time. The greens where also too salty. The okra and the tomatoes were the best part of the meal. If I were to come back I would only get the okra and the tomatoes. Defiantly try it for yourself!

Wow! I am normally not a fan of fried chicken but this place hit it out of the park. The texture, the softness and crispiness, everything was perfect. The mac & cheese, potato salad was also delicious. The place is located in downtown Mesa. You have to find parking on the side on the street but not difficult to find a spot. Truly world famous!

This is my second Gus’s experience. We have been to Gus’s in Collierville, TN. I gotta say, Gus’s Mesa Downtown is nothing but finger lickin goodness. The sides are excellent and the chicken was crispy outside juicy inside. Cole slaw is where it’s at. Just make sure you eat it slow because it can definitely burn your lips. It is fried to order so it takes some time, but it is 100% worth it. I was legit thinking of their chicken the day after. Our server (the older gentleman) was nothing but pleasant and attentive.

We have been looking for a good fried chicken place since we moved to Arizona. Well today we found it at Gus’s Worlds Famous Fried Chicken! We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were delicious. Then the fried chicken arrived; oh my goodness; this is the best fried chicken I’ve ever had! So crispy and juicy! And I mean crispy chicken!!!!! The sides were just as good, coleslaw, beans, greens. Then my hubby ordered pecan pie. Now I’m not a fan of pecan pie but this was really good pie! And our waiter was awesome (wish I remembered his name). He made the whole dining experience so much fun! His enthusiasm was contagious! We will definitely be coming back to Gus’s!!
