Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken

Excellent friend chicken joint in downtown Austin. The food was great! Service was even better and everything came out fast and hot. Large inside area so they can fit parties. They have a bar with canned beer. Can't wait to go back!

Friendly service, large portion for the price, good taste. Had the fried chicken and the fried pickles. Loved the fried pickles given the sour and savory mix, though they aren't for everyone. Chicken is slightly spicy, should be ok for most people. Would have preferred a crispier batter but that's personal preference. For the price it's a deal.

It’s been a few years since I’ve eaten here and would have given 4 stars I remember it being just slightly more memorable and tasty the first time. I get the tenders with slaw and beans for $10.25 you get 4 tenders for the same price as 3! The staff are very friendly, the service is quick even when they’re busy. The chicken is spicy so if you don’t like spice this isn’t for you. I tasted the spice just remember it being more flavorful. The tenders had a crispy skin which most tenders don’t. Wanted to add a little salt to everything. The craft beer was only $5.

By far the best fried pickle spears I have ever eaten! Love that there is a souvenir cup option. My boyfriend got the fried okra and let me try some - it was very good too! Google the history on the restaurant- it’s incredibly interesting and made me appreciate the meal even more knowing how it became famous. You definitely won’t walk away hungry after eating here! The waiter was phenomenal despite a packed house and was great at checking in on us.
