Reviews
"Love friendly gus the best chicken and chicken tenders in the state tater logs are good too and rolls awesome we won't eat chicken anywhere else but here keep up the good work and please think about opening Mt.vernon store 24hrs thank you for awesome service 5 stars actually if I could rate higher stars I would"
"Was told I couldn't buy chicken fingers because other customers might want some. I'm assuming the staff has the IQ of a lab mouse."
"Best chicken on town hands down. I was in I c u for 42 days. The entire time I was in all I could do is say I wanted to go home and eat chicken at friendly Gus. The management has a gift in picking out good friendly workers apparently. Since the recent remodeling.It is the best it has looked in several years.Looks nice and clean."
"I come here with my papa regularly One of the servers even knows my usual the food is perfect the service is fast and great and it always tastes good I love to go here and when i do i never regret it. The only thing I could think of to make it any better would be to have some nacho sauce but it doesn't need it and that is mainly a personal preference."
"Being a southern guy I love fried chicken and sweet tea. This gas station slash restaurant slash convenient store has some of the best fried chicken I have ever had. To me the best way to describe their chicken is to combine Popeye's fried chicken and Kentucky fried together. "YES IT'S THAT GOOD". Next is their sweet tea. I have had sweet tea at other gas stations and restaurants but their sweet tea is the best. The simplest and best way to describe their tea is you just have to taste it. I am going to warn you. Once you taste it your taste buds will never be satisfied with any other sweet tea again. Don't just take my word, the next time you're in the area stop by and try it for yourself."
