My family has been raving about Gus's BBQ for a while now and I FINALLY got to have the experience.
It's located in downtown Clairmont, so the evening vibes are perfect for a night out, date night, or just a stroll. Upon walking up, we were greeted and seated within moments. Our server was very friendly and rejoiced in our enthusiasm to finally try the hype.
Digging right into the menu, we started our meal with the Spinach & Artichoke dip, Arnold Palmer and Blueberry Lemonade to drink. The Blueberry Lemonade was made in-house - delicious, refreshing, and tart. The artichoke dip was a good indicator of the flavor experience to come.
Being a date night, I opted to share a Combo with Spare Ribs, Brisket, and Pulled Pork. Our sides were Baked Beans, Creamed Corn, and Mac n Cheese. This meal was the perfect portion for 2 with no left overs and full bellies. The meats were all honestly very good. Personally, I prefer my food to be HOT off the grill, steaming fresh. Neither of the meats were hot, just warm which I'll make note of to request for the next visit. The creamed corn was phenomenal. The sweetness balanced the savory from the meat very well. I was not a fan of the baked beans, although they were palatable. The mac n cheese was pretty standard.
Aside from my own personal preferences, the food is delicious and well-crafted. The BBQ meats are definitely the star of the show here and I'd be happy to return and try more of the expansive menu.
