THIS IS SO GOOD! everything here was so good!!! From the juicy tomatoes with such a delicate thin crispy exterior that was beautifully seasoned, to the tender juicy chicken with a great fry, to the warm pecan pie with a great filling with the perfect amount of sweetness, nothing was disappointing. And at great prices!!

I write this review as I'm shoving this god down my throat. I walked 25 minutes to this place and back to my hotel and I would crawl it all again just for this food, let me tell you! To start the ladies at the front were so friendly. My food was done for awhile and sat there but it was a small mistake and they corrected it. I ordered two chicken breasts and Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese was still hot and steaming when I went to eat it, the chicken was not but that was wholly my fault due to my commute back to my hotel. Although flavorful I did wish it was more spicy. The Mac n cheese is OUT OF THIS WORLD. It is so cheesy and creamy the hands down best that I've ever gotten in a restaurant and it will be my new staple whenever I'm in New Orleans. I definitely recommend!

The juiciest chicken I've ever had glad we found this place while visiting New Orleans

Good service Amazing food Bottled beer This is a great easy choice for good food The vibe is blues in a garage

This was the first place I ever tried out chicken in the south and am so glad it was Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken! The service was spectacular and the food was even better. I had the opportunity to come here as a +1 for dinner. I ordered the two piece dark chicken (thigh and leg) plate and it was so good! The food came out piping hot, juicy inside, and the crust was thin and crispy but in the best way possible with a slight kick. I substituted coleslaw and beans with mac & cheese and seasoned fries for an extra $0.50 cents upcharge for each and it was so worth it. The mac & cheese reminded me of KFC/Velveeta boxed mac but cheesier. I grew up eating this so it was a nostalgic moment in time for me. The fries were really good too as there was a nice crunch on the outside and the potato was still pillowy soft on the inside. We washed our food down with Gus's sweetened tea which was overly sweet but too hard to pass up and not have with our meal. We ended the night with a sweet potato pie slice to share. It came out toasty and had warm notes of nutmeg and cinnamon with a hint of sweetness (kind of like a sweet potato casserole before the marshmallows are cooked on top). The restaurant was spacious and had quite a few tables inside to accommodate multiple parties. I would definitely come back here and recommend if you're looking to get your fried chicken and sweet potato pie fix, Gus's is the place.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and chose to sit at the bar. The server was excellent and offered several top recommendations. The ambiance was inviting, making me feel comfortable throughout my visit. I would rate the food 4 out of 5; however, I wasn't particularly fond of the greens, but that's just a matter of personal taste. If you have an event at the convention center, I highly recommend this Gus's.

4.5! Was visiting NOLA for a conference and stopped by. Truly the best fried chicken I've had. I got the 2 piece white meat plate with the a side of beans, slaw & Mac and cheese. Price was amazing for so much food. The chicken was seasoned perfectly, slaw was good, and the beans. Mac & cheese was meh. Wouldn't get it again honestly. I also came in a group of 3, and the food took upwards of 40 min to get. Definitely wasn't expecting that so was a bit bummed. But AJ was amazing about it and the sweetest!! So shoutout to him and his impeccable service. Def recommend though stopping by for the chicken, and be prepared that it could take some time to get!
