Absolutely delicious! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The sides are wonderful as well. Many chicken places have good chicken but sub-par mac and cheese and slaw. Not this place though, it's all yummy. Chicken is fried fresh when you order it and not sitting under a heat lamp for hours. My only issue is that they DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE! After experiencing this delicious chicken, a few weeks later I tried SEVERAL times for over an hour to call and place an order for pickup. It was around 3:00 in the afternoon, so after lunch and before dinner time. Almost took a star away because of the inability to call ahead but the chicken is so outstanding that it's still worth the five stars. Hopefully they will pay some attention to the customers on the phone but I do appreciate the awesome food!

Absolutely delicious! This was our first time trying Gus’s, and we loved it. All of the food was fresh, the restaurant was clean with a neat atmosphere, and the service was wonderful. Our server kept our drinks full and checked on us multiple times while we ate our meal. The chicken has a little spice to it but is not overwhelming. Our server said that the tenders are a good alternative if you don’t like spicy. I also have to say that the price are not bad at all, very comparably priced to KFC or Popeyes, but at a much higher quality. Definitely check this place out the next time you are looking for chicken!

Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken is well priced with great atmosphere for all, it’s in a great location also. As the title says it’s World famous chicken it’s a must try when ever in Lexington.

If you want an upscale place where you should go wearing a shirt and tie - this is not it! If you want a place offering a unique atmosphere and dining experience - you have found it! The menu is small and somewhat limited but the food is as good as the dessert! I enjoyed it!

Tables are six feet apart, doesn't look like alot of people actually dine in but they use plastic utensils that are pre-wrapped. There is a tub sink outside the bathroom to wash hands so you don't actually you've to go into the bathroom.

Why cant i order carryout from a menu with prices? We have never been to Gus's. We dont do doordash. Makes it hard to be a new customer at this time.
