Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken

Absolutely fantastic first visit! We ordered the half chicken with beans and mac and cheese, and every bite exceeded our expectations. The chicken was incredibly flavorful, juicy, and had just the right amount of spice—it was both hearty and satisfying. The sides were delicious, especially the mac and cheese, which was creamy and comforting. What truly elevated our experience was the outstanding service—our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed the meal so much that we ordered extra to take back with us to Toronto. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be returning!

Cool and eclectic with a rustic charm and classic blues playing overhead. Servers were friendly and attentive but it's the chicken that's the star of the show. Wow! Flavor that I can't describe. Spicy but not lighting your mouth on fire, it's the perfect blend of flavor and spice. Try the chicken sandwich. It's not like anything you've ever had. They make it with boneless thigh I stead of breast, so its not dry and its full of flavor. Love it!

Top 5 fried chicken I have ever had. So juicy, flavourful and tastes like home cooked chicken. We comeback here every time we go to Detroit!

Truly out of this world flavors. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Well worth the wait time and freshly cooked. 2nd time back best Chicken in The state . WARNING THIS PLACE WILL RUIN YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL CHICK SPOTS BUT ITS SOOOO WORTH IT.

An eclectic atmosphere with a warm feeling. This is a nice brick building with a chicken motif. I ordered a 2 piece dark Chicken plate with a drink ($16). The chicken was delicious. It was slightly sweet and that offset the spiciness of the fried chicken. The spiciness was not overpowering in any way. It only added to the flavor. It was juicy and cooked perfectly. The plate comes with baked beans and coleslaw and both were delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. You order up at the counter and they call your name when it's ready. Overall an easy 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely. I'm not sure the next time I will be in the area, however I may have to make a trip just for this!

It has been so long since I’ve had Gus‘s world, famous fried chicken. From what I can remember, the food here was good; however, everything that could be fried on the menu, was fried on the menu. Personally, I don’t appreciate to feel sluggish after eating and would prefer some lighter options. Nevertheless, if you are going as a treat and don’t mind some big back activities, by all means, give them a try but for the love of your arteries, do not go every day.

BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH!! It is so juicy and perfectly seasoned with a hint of spice. Their coleslaw and Mac and cheese are also amazing and go great as sides!

The worst Guss’s and I’ve been to all of them. This was supposed to be 2 piece white with potato salad and beans. This is Detroit though. I should have known. Live and learn.
