We had driven to LaGrange to check out an art exhibit and wanted to grab lunch first. On such prior trips, we'd eaten at one or two other places, so we wanted to try something new.
If you are facing the town square / park on Lafayette Parkway, Gus's is on the street bordering the far side of the square and less than a block down on the right. There is street parking available generally, but there are also a couple of free parking decks within a couple of blocks on either side of Lafayette Parkway. The color scheme of Gus's storefront is blue and white, reflecting the Greek flag.
Inside, there is a small host station up front. it isn't staffed constantly but one of the servers indicated that we could sit wherever we liked. We grabbed a booth. The whole place is decorated with travel and cooking 'knick-knacks' - banners from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, fryer baskets, etc. The places has a 'lived in' look and their menu says they've been there since 1995.
The place was busy on a Saturday at around 1 p.m. when we showed up. They serve breakfast and lunch but close at 2 p.m., so don't wait too late to arrive. Our server came by and soon provided our drinks. We both opted for gyros with different sides. My wife's side salad was pretty plain, but was as describe on the menu. However, we both agreed that the gyros were among the best we've had. The pitas tasted fresh and were not stiff. The meat and vegetables were cooked to perfection, and their family tzatziki sauce was great! Prices were quite reasonable.
Whenever we're next in LaGrange, we'll likely be returning to Gus's.
