Reviews for Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken in Houston, TX

Juicy and hot fried chicken. It has a tiny bit of spice to it, but don't let that scare you, it's flavor spice not 'burn your... mouth' spice. The slaw compliments the chicken well and the Mac and cheese is pretty good. I would skip the fries in the futureit was too much. Beans were not my style but I can see that some would like them.

We have been to Gus?s all over the country and this one did not disappoint! The food was ???? as usual and the staff was even... more so. I was very impressed with the friendly and attentive staff. All the employees we encountered were super kind and quickto smile and greet us. We had a group of 12 and were made to fell as if we were special guest! The place was well kept and cleanas well as the restrooms. Some in our party had never been to a Gus?s Fried Chicken and we were so glad that this was theirfirst experience. The greens and fried okra were my favorite this visit outside the chicken of course but the few that had theMac and cheese said it was a game changer? hahaha I think that means it was fantastic!! Can?t wait to swing back in on our nexttrip to Houston! Keep it up guys!! ???? Read more

I had a hankering for Fried Chicken and this didn't disappoint. I got (2) 3pc Dark with 4 side items, plus the Chocolate Pie. It... was all pretty tasty. The chicken could have been dipped better in the the batter. The Baked Beans and Okra were good, nothingwas hot, more warm. The Potato Salad and Cole Slaw was good a well. The service was really good. I'll most likely recommend thisplace and be back. Read more

We ordered the fried pickle spears and the 1/2 chicken with seasoned fries. We weren?t super hungry but we?re glad we got to... sample a little bit of everything! Both the dark and white meat were tender, flavorful, and seasoned with the right amount ofheat. The fries weren?t as seasoned as we expected but still hit the spot nonetheless. You pretty much can?t go wrong with friedpickles. All in all, we left super full content. Thanks for a great experience! Read more

Wow. I rarely give a restaurant a flawless rating, but this is certainly earned. An unassuming exterior leads to an incredible... dining experience. On top of the food being incredible the staff are a hallmark of personal and friendly service. The meat isexpertly fried and seasoned to ABSOLUTE perfection. The sides are all delicious and worth your attention. My favorites were thefried okra, baked beans and fries. They have some of the best fried green tomatoes I?ve ever had so be sure to order those as astarter. Please take a trip to this gem of a restaurant. Read more

So my boyfriend and I tried Gus?s out for the first time and it was a down south experience. I love the southern dining setup,... the service is nothing less than ?Southern Hospitality? ???? Onto the food?we had fried tomatoes as an appetizer and they wereBomb! (Full of flavor) Chicken was good, different flavor than I?m used to but decent, really no need for a pepper ????, thespices in the chicken are there! Sides: Macoroni was good, potato salad was less than average, beans were good, my bf liked theCole slaw. Overall I enjoyed the experience. Probably won?t rush back but definitely something to try out ! Read more

I finally made it here after hearing so many good things. The young lady that took my order was friendly and even asked if I... wanted a lot of ice or a little with my iced tea. I loved that attention to detail. Unfortunately they were out of my favoritechicken part, the thighs. So I got the 2 pc. white meat combo (breast and wing) with baked beans and potato salad. The chickenwas fresh out of the fryer, crispy, succulent and juicy with just the right amount of spiciness. The beans were perfectlyseasoned and the potato salad has perfectly cut ingredients making for a creamy and crunchy mayo pickle combination. Read more

The breading has a kick to it. Really enjoyed this place and the inside vibe. The tenders are a little less spicy than the... pieces. If you have a no-spice tolerance you?ll feel it. With that said, it?s really good and highly recommend. Not thebiggest coleslaw fan and this wasn?t anything special. Next time, going to switch out a couple of the sides and share. Thefried green tomatoes were very good. Overall, recommend. Read more
