Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken

Chicken restaurant · Lower Garden District

"New Orleans may not have needed another chain fried chicken place, but no one complained when a location of Tennessee-born Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken landed in the Warehouse District. Crowned the winner of the 2019 fried chicken festival, Gus’s is loved nationwide for good reason — the never-frozen chicken is marinated for 12 hours before being fried in peanut oil." - Beth D'Addono, Eater Staff
