    Ive been here a few times. Usually the food is great, but I tried something new today and I didn’t really like it. I’ll stick to my usual. Overall good service and our appetizer and salad were great!

    One of our favorite restaurants for family, friends, or a business lunch. Lively indoors, a bit more laid back outside. Good menu selections, and the food is always delicious. Servers are friendly and efficient.

    Our server, Andrea, was incredibly pleasant and super professional. She made some great recommendations and everyone enjoyed everything. The Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs were spectacular!!! Already planning our next visit.

    My favorite Gus's dinner - brick chicken - is always so great that it's hard to order anything else (but I do have other loves on the menu). Tonight, my go-to brick chicken was as great as always. Also, it's a huge dinner, about half of which will be my lunch tomorrow.
