My third time for lunch. As always Sean and the team were very attentive. Today I ordered the chicken tenders with coleslaw and potato salad. I waited about 5 minutes for fresh made that were hot, juicy and perfectly spiced. Honestly the best I’ve ever had. The sides were also delicious and went very well together. Since this place is so close to work, I could be here every day but I’ll try to keep it to a maximum of twice per week.
I will definitely bring my family on the weekend so they could experience it. Highly recommend.

Coming in for a kung fu tournament and decided to detour and stop by here. Great great chicken. If you are a fan of a little kick and great chicken, this is a must. The breading on the chicken was amazing. I am generally not a fan of coleslaw but with a little hot sauce this hit my palette perfectly. The fried green tomatoes were also good. I had the dark meat plate and my son had the white. All good food and good atmosphere. Very attentive service but not overbearing. Jimmy D gave us a very pleasant experience on our first stop on town.

If you love fried chicken I mean if you really love fried chicken you need to check out this place! Gus's world famous fried chicken has great seasoning with just enough spice. The daily special featured catfish which is also made with the same batter that is used in the fried chicken. The sides were very good compliments to the chicken and the catfish. The sweet potato pie was a great way to wrap up the meal. The service was great! Jimmy greeted me promptly & took my order. My drink was never empty the whole time I was here. He also inform me about the items on the menu, he is a great ambassador for the brand. There is a very comfortable laid back atmosphere with a great mix of blues and R&B music playing. I heard one of my favorite Isley Brothers song! I highly recommend this place It would be great to have a location in the West valley!

5 stars isn’t a high enough rating for this food, atmosphere, and staff. I’m from the East Coast and there is nothing like this. The signature batter they use for the chicken is what makes it irresistible. But the kindness of Amy, is top notch. She is so kind and walked us through the entire menu as first timers. So sweet and will be back!

Have you visited Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken? This little place is located on Van Buren in downtown Phoenix. I can't say enough how crispy, tender, juicy, and flavorful the chicken always is. I recently tried their fried catfish and it was just as delicious. Their seasoning recipe has a kick to it and they never fail to deliver a crispy chicken. Their fixings are great; I've tried all of them and favor their collard greens and fried okra. What I love about them is that the chicken is always fresh. They cook it until you order it. I also enjoy their deserts- I'm a chocolate chess and sweet potato pie girl. Their establishment is very cozy and there's plenty of seating. I enjoy their decor and ambience. Staff is phenomenal. They're attentive, respectful, and always greet and serve you with a smile. Been visiting for years and have never been disappointed. The recipe is consistent, quality of food is always on point, staff always puts their best foot forward and the price is extremely reasonable. Overall impressed with the restaurant and highly recommend!
