While the food I ate was delicious, getting it was a little bit of a problem.
No one seemed to know who was supposed to be my server. Everyone was very pleasant to talk to and tried to be helpful, but there must have been some miscommunication between the staff as I sat for ten minutes before getting my order taken. Then when I went to pay after eating I had to wait again while they figured out who my server was (again) in order to pay. Not sure why that was necessary since I had the ticket that needed to be paid in my hand, but it happened. Food was good but might not be worth the hassle.
We stumbled upon this place because it was close to where our conference was being held. I ordered the 3 tenders plate with ranch, mac and cheese, and potato salad. I got a water, as well. Damien was our server, and he was very nice! The food came out after about 15 minutes, and I was very excited. The food itself was delicious! The chicken had a good amount of heat, which went well with the ranch. The potato salad was creamy and savory. The mac and cheese was flavorful. The food had my nose running and wanting a lot of water, so Damien helped me out with a refill. All in all, this was an amazing experience and the food was delicious!
What can be said about Gus? Excellent fried chicken? Of course. Is this better than your national chains? Indeed. Is is the best one I ever had? Probably not but I cannot remember a better one. The beans were excellent and the other fixin’s were good too. I am sure the mac ‘n’ cheese has its fans, but I am not one of them. Now the star of the show is the Sweet Potato pie. Holy sweet desert. That is the perfect Pie. Balanced. Have it w/o ice cream and ask for it to be heated. The smell is intoxicating. Whatever was on your mind is gone, and your body is shaking in anticipation. You will not be disappointed. The vibes are from a 70’s restaurant. To close, don’t miss Gus if you are around.
Flew in from the Bay Area and went straight to Gus’s after checking into the hotel! Good was great, and service was even better! Nikaya was kind and responsive to our requests and even gave us a small bowl of Mac and cheese to try after we mentioned it.
Great job Gus’s! Y’all just got two new customers for life!
Soooo good! The chicken was so crispy and juicy with the sides complementing the chicken. Service wasn’t too bad. Our waiters were busy with other tables and would frequently check on us when they were coming by with other orders.
I don’t know if it’s world famous but I can see that it’s probably pretty popular around these parts. There’s nothing like a good southern fried chicken with some greens, coleslaw and fried green tomatoes. Guess this is located in the lower level of a mall so you have to look for in a bit. If you’re in Atlanta, it’s definitely worth checking out.
I honestly don’t know how this food doesn’t have a 5/5 rating ; this is one of the best chicken I have eaten in my life; Also the fried green tomatoes and the sweet potatoes pie Is a must try; staff if friendly, the owner is the nicest man and you can tell he put some love in his food; we loved it so much that we bought a bucket to go on the plane the next day ahaha… don’t take my word for it , try it for yourself… fair warning : it’s spicy but just right

Okay so the first time I saw Gus’s I was walking past them to go to CVS and all I smelled was the fried chicken. That’s when I knew I had to go lol Finally got around to going and I went with a friend. The menu is what you would expect from like a chicken spot somewhere in the country but the food was amazing!! I’ll be honest the chicken was spicy to me and my friend but it was so good I really didn’t care. I had the 3wings meal with potato salad and greens. Greens were great! Potato salad was mid at best, I’m not a fan of potato peels in my potato salad but that’s just me. I’m pretty sure my friend got the 2 piece meal which was a breast and a wing with Mac&cheese and greens. He said the Mac & cheese tasted like Kraft and I told him it honestly looked like Stoffers lol full sized chicken, no baby portions and our food came out really fast. I gave you them 4 stars because almost every table except like 2 had no salt & pepper or ketchup. I had to get up and go look for it. We also got fried green tomatoes and they were amazing.
It took them a while to sit us down. The chicken was good, but too spicy and it well done inside. The location was great within the area we stayed at.
I was visiting from Oklahoma and was told I had to come have Gus's. The restaurant was small, clean, and comfortable. Waitress was friendly and fast, and you could tell she meant business.
I ordered the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. They must've come right out of the frier, which I very much appreciate, and I burnt my lip, so I pouted during my wait for them to cool off enough. Cornmeal batter was crispy and tasty. Tomato was fresh, and the ranch was homemade buttermilk.
For my meal, I got a thigh, drumstick, and a tender. Sides were beans and fries. Beans and fries were good, but they were beans and fries. One of my students ordered Mac & Cheese, and let me try it. It was pretty good and made in house. The chicken on the other was perfect!! Perfect crunch. Perfectly juicy. Perfect flavor. Perfect amount of heat in the batter.
If you are in Atlanta, I highly recommend grabbing Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken

I lived in Memphis for 12 years. We often went to Gus’s Chicken Downtown Memphis. The chicken was always flavorful and delicious.
This was my first time eating at Gus’s Chicken here in Norcross.
The chicken was tasty and well done , but was lacking the flavorful taste that I’m accustomed to at Gus”s Memphis.
Nevertheless, it’s worth a try if you’ve never had Gus’s Chicken.
Small quiet spot to grab a nice plate of chicken. Server said it was hot and Spicy. My daughter and I both agree it came out nice and hot fresh very good and flavorful, but not so spicy. Service was great, polite, fast. A bit overpriced for what you get but still not bad. $57 for 3 people. No onsite parking available must pay to park near by. Won’t blame these guys for the issue I had with that either. My ticket got voided and I had to call support 2x just to get out of the garage across the street. - please note I’m an out of state visitor and didn’t know the area or where else to park without driving more one way street circles then I did just to find this gem of a place. But I’m glad I did.
Great, spicy flavor. Super crunchy, crispy, juicy, and good size. Everything was great!! The mac and cheese is some of the best i’ve had in a long time.
My favorite food is fried chicken and this place is probably one of my favorites. Super quick, super friendly staff, super down to earth, and reasonable price.
+ the chess pie is great too!!

For the record, I need you to understand the level of excitement that came over me at the fact that I was finally able to try Gus’s!
I have a girlfriend who has told me on more than one occasion that Gus’s was the best fried chicken she has ever had in her life. As such, I had to go!
After years of saying “I’m going” I was finally able to make my way in. I love that there is parking directly across the street from the building. Upon walking in I was drawn to the cafe style setup presented. It looks like a weekday cafe mixed with a small family restaurant. Great aesthetic for a friend lunch or personal meal.
We were seated upon entry and greeted by our waitress Nicole. Nicole walked over very upbeat and all smiles. She was super friendly and instantly connected with us as we laughed and joked as we discussed our drink choices. Note to Management, Nicole’s service was above standard and worth recognition.
I decided on a Sweet Tea and the 2 Piece. For the record they do NOT have cornbread. Nicole comforted me by letting me know I wasn’t alone in my thoughts that cornbread would be on the menu. LoL!
The Sweet Tea was Southern Sweet Goodness and exactly what I needed on a warm Spring Day. As I sit here and write this I want some more. LoL!!
The chicken was a true experience. Crunchy on the outside. Moist and meaty on the inside. Well seasoned with a noticeable blend of flavor on the meat as well as in the batter along with being perfectly cooked. This 2 piece hit the spot in the exact way that was needed at the moment.
I will admit, when it comes to GREAT Fried Chicken, Gus’s has made its way to my Top 10 List!!!
If you are near a Gus’s I suggest you make it a point to stop in and grab you an order. Make sure to sit down before taking a bite as it will cause a sensation of flavor-goodness throughout your whole body. HaHa!!
Very good chicken and fish. The wait time is painful so order ahead of time. The price per portion will leave some folk hungry but they have great flavor if you have great patience. The staff was super friendly and kept checking in to let us know the food was still cooking.
Personal Note:
This feels like a fast casual food joint and the portions are small but they have big flavor. All except the Okra as that was extra trash. If flavor had an enemy it would be the Okra from this place. Please rethink that batter recipe.
Loved it, chickens was great, really liked the fried okra, portions are the right size - not too large. Good selection of beer, you get a can but also a frozen mug if you ask for one.
Definitely well worth the visit!
Went and experienced Gus’s World Famous and it was a HIT! The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and well lit. It gave me the down home family restaurant feel! The chicken was crispy, freshly cooked, and juicy!
Fried green tomatoes and chicken were so good. The food was freshly cooked and piping hot. I always come here every time I’m in town.
Had fun visiting Gus’s for the first time during my lunch break. Our server was fun and kept a smile on our face. She was very accommodating as well. We all tried the lunch special that was very reasonably priced. The fried green tomatoes were nice and piping hot. The chicken is very crispy but could use a tad bit more seasoning. Still very good. I tried the Mac n cheese with baked potatoes. Let’s just say my plate was empty at the end. Thoroughly Gus’s.
