If you want Southern fried chicken this is your spot. They fry in peanut oil at a proper temperature, so the meat is not too greasy. The breading has a nice level of spice to it.

Came in for lunch since I had jury duty. Don’t come the area too often but have been wanting to try Gus’s for a while. Chicken was truly amazing. Had the two piece dark combo.

Service was quick, got my food within a few minutes of ordering and was piping hot.
