"First thing I noticed was the rustic atmosphere and the full tables. We went at around 6:30 pm Sunday night and the place was packed. We were served immediately and the waitress recommended the two breast special. Due to the volume of dine in and carry out customers it did take about 30 minutes for the food to arrive, but it was really worth the wait. The chicken was hot and cooked perfectly. The beans were great with just a touch of heat. The slaw was creamy and delicious. Chicken is all they do, and they do it well. I can't wait to go back!!"

"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."

"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."

"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"
