Restaurant · Near North Side

"Gus’s crispy fried chicken comes with a hint of spice and is surprisingly not greasy. Food comes on styrofoam plates (though, the company pledged to go foam free by next year), and there are basic sides like baked beans, cole slaw, and macaroni and cheese. The Fulton Market location was the first to have a full bar, and with a liquor license in hand it’s not hard to imaging a similar set up in River North." - Ashok Selvam
