Gus’s is a neighborhood staple that’s been slinging hot dogs since the late 1970s, beloved for its old-school counter service and all-beef franks loaded with homemade chili, slaw, and onions. Regulars swear by the signature chili cheese dog, which has landed Gus’s on multiple ‘best of’ lists from The Commercial Appeal and Memphis Magazine. The no-frills charm and speedy service make it a go-to for lunch breaks and late-night cravings alike. According to The Memphis Flyer, Gus’s is one of the most consistent and authentic hot dog experiences in the city.
