Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken - Chicken restaurant in Memphis - 730 S Mendenhall Rd, USA

This was our first time trying Gus chicken. I loved that they employed mostly young teenagers/adults. This would give them something productive to do. My waiter was a young male. He was very friendly and willing to assist. I think he may have been autistic. If he wasn't, my apologies but that was actually what I liked most about my experience. They gave him a chance to work and he's doing an excellent job. The food was pretty good too.

From the silent traveler to all of you. This is the famous Gus's chicken in Memphis. Memphis is known for a lot of things good history good people the food but there is definitely one place you need to stop at and that is Gus's. I was told about this place and had to check it out myself The name of the restaurant speaks for itself. The chicken is beyond delicious and juicy. Could not get enough of it to compliment the chicken that is one of the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had in a restaurant. Almost better than mine when I make it at home. It almost seems like that macaroni and cheese was cooked on a grill. The season was just right and added enough cheese to make it juicy but not overwhelming. And the fried okra definitely spot on. I will tell you if you are a super healthy eater this place is not for you but if you want some good feel like you're back home with your mama this is the place to go. The service was nice and friendly seem like family you ain't seen in a long time almost like a family reunion. As I tell a lot of people don't take my word for it go down to Gus's for yourself check it out and let me know what you think. From the silent travel to all of you be well be safe be positive.

This is hands down the BEST chicken in the world as it claims. I travel for work so I know that many places try to claim their stake but there is simply no comparison. Gus’ is always prepared fresh, ultra crispy with. just the right secret spice profile and finishes off with a magical mild heat that seals the deal for your taste buds. Haven’t tried it yet? What are you waiting for?

I was in town on a Business Trip. I am from Louisiana. This chicken was pretty good but not the best I’ve had. I ordered a 3 piece chicken plate with beans, coleslaw, with mac and cheese. I had the fried green tomatoes and a peach pie. My favorite item was the peach pie. The fried tomatoes were not my favorite and the Mac and cheese was ok. The service was good and food was prepared quickly. For someone that’s not from Louisiana, this is a good alternative. For me everything was just ok. I may be spoiled with Louisiana food. Lol 🤷🏾‍♀️

Doesn't have the same taste since my last visit, plus wasn't fond of soft chicken, prefer well done/fried hard. Wait wasn't long no more than 20 minutes.

This is my go-to fried chicken spot when traveling to Memphis. There's a little kick to the chicken and the staff is ALWAYS friendly.

I ordered a 3pcs all white meal with fries and mac & Cheese. It comes with light 🍞 . If you want more, you will need to ask. This chicken has a very nice taste to it. I was very pleased with the taste. All of the food that I ordered was good. It was done as and it was crispy. They weren't too friendly, though. Signed: Chilled while eating my chicken.

I really don't know what all the hoopla is about I'm from out of State was passing through Memphis I thought I would try this "World Famous Chicken" and to be honest I wasn't impressed. Maybe I'm missing something but the three people that were with me also agreed that there was nothing spectacular about this fried chicken.
