“ Nothing better than fried to order chicken with a kick that’s piping hot from the fryer. The outside is crispy and crunchy. The inside is moist and tender. Their sides are delicious. Love the greens, fries, and fried mushrooms. Staff are always friendly. Deon has waited on us several times. It takes a little longer for the chicken to arrive since they fry it when it’s ordered. ”
“ Great chicken, friendly service. In a region full of great chicken places, Gus's holds its own. We've been coming for years: the chicken is crispy, unique & flavorful with a light kick. The sides have a robust flavor with my family's top favorites being the macaroni & beans. The staff has always been welcoming, warm & even on a busy night, upbeat. The restaurant is clean & the bar front a nice place to enjoy a drink while waiting for an order. It's not currently on the online menu, but they have kids meals & sometimes daily specials. ”
“ Went here with my wife on a whim after seeing a friend’s post. All in all a great experience and glad we drove over from Belleville. Food did take a bit to come out. BUT, they were busy and I did not mind waiting on the food. All the food was tasty. I especially like the chicken fingers. Good flavor and NOT greasy at all. Plenty of families dining while we were there. We will definitely come back if in the area. ”
“ I've been twice now (carry out and dine in) and the chicken is some of the best!! Each time the service is outstanding. The servers are extremely nice and friendly. The chicken is flavorful, hot and juicy so careful with the first bite . I'll definitely be returning! ”
“ The staff is super nice here. The dining area is cute and cozy...almost a little industrial. The okra, baked beans and fried chicken were AMAZING! It's some of the best I've had for sure! This place is super well known. Come try it! ”
“ 10 out of 10, hands down! Excellent customer service, simple and to-the-point menu: GREAT CHICKEN AND SIDES, with sweet tea and great lemonade. The Greens and Fried Green Tomatoes were the so delicious! No fuss, no muss, just good eating, great service, and THE BEST R&B mix playing as you eat. This is some crispy, well-seasoned fried chicken. My best friend described it as: "Gus has the kind of chicken that your Grandmother fried and served when guests were coming over for a meal." I agree 100%. Take your family and friends to Gus Chicken. You will not be disappointed. ”
“ It was absolutely delicious. The waiter was friendly and fast. The chicken is juicy and flavorful with just a bit of a kick of spice in the skin. The Mac n cheese is so cheesy and good ”
“ If you ever have the opportunity to try Gus's Fried Chicken.... DO IT! We first tried it in Memphis after a friend's suggestion, and it was SO delicious. The fried chicken has a slight kick to it, but it's not overwhelming. We were thrilled to find out there was one in St. Louis, and went last night. It was as yummy as ever, and our server Armani was attentive, helpful, and delightful! * Sweet Tea * Fried Pickles * Fried Okra * 2 Piece Dark Meat Combo - Greens and Mac & Cheese * 2 Piece Dark Meat Combo - Baked Beans and Mac & Cheese * Not pictured - Chess Pie & Chocolate Chess Pie ”
