Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken

Great 3pc White Meat Combo. The Chicken, Okra, Mac N Chees, And Fried Pickles Were Great. My Only Complaints Would Be The Dirty Tables, Abundant Flies, Cramped In Dinning Area. I Would Have Like To Sit In The Area With Pokémon Showing On The Tv But It Looked Closed To Customers. There Were A Lot Of Flies For An Indoor Establishment In My Opinion. I Think I Will Do Take Out Next Time But Other Than That It’s Real Good Chicken...😎

Came here when friends were visiting from out of town. We got every starter they offer, the fried green tomatoes, fried okra and fried pickles. All were up to par, the fried pickles are spears (if you care). I got the 3 piece white and the chicken was incredible, juicy with a little heat on the crust, some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. I also had ordered a piece of catfish on the side which I would also highly recommend (I’m getting hungry thinking about it now), had a little spice to it but was very good. The beans were good, the Mac and cheese was also good- nothing extraordinary but good, I got potato salad in a to go order which was eh- i personally like mustard potato salad and this is just regular. I got coconut cream pie to go and I honestly wouldn’t recommend this, it had a flavor like the pie had sat open in a kitchen full of grease (if that makes sense). The service wasn’t very good either, we actually sat at the table at least 10-15 mins wondering if there was a designated place to order because the server never greeted us or came to take an order. We had to literally wave them down and ask where to order. Food wise I’ll definitely be back

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Rave Review for Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken in Austin, TX! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the very first bite, this place totally earns its world-famous reputation. The moment that perfectly seasoned, golden-crispy skin yields to unbelievably juicy, tender chicken — you’ll find yourself licking the plate clean and reaching for just one more piece. The spice blend hits with a gentle kick that’s bold without overpowering, and every piece feels cooked to absolute perfection. The sides here deserve just as much praise: rich, creamy mac & cheese, crisp fried okra, and seasoned fries that are just as addictive as the chicken itself. Add in refreshing sweet tea and friendly, quick service, and this spot isn’t just a meal — it’s an experience worth returning for again and again. Whether you’re grabbing a classic plate after exploring downtown or treating friends to what might just be the best fried chicken in Austin, every visit feels like comfort food perfection. If you love fried chicken that makes you smack your lips and savor every last crumb — this is the place to go

This spot absolutely hit the mark for us. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, quick, and welcoming. We were greeted right away, seated immediately, and couldn’t believe how fast the food arrived—less than ten minutes after ordering. The sweet tea was incredible, honestly one of the best I’ve had. The chicken was fried perfectly with great flavor and crunch, and the fries were just as tasty. Everything came out hot, fresh, and satisfying. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we left feeling completely impressed.

Went in on a Wednesday afternoon and wasn't too busy. Seated at the bar, order taken quickly and food came out not too long after. Fried chicken was warm and crispy with great breading flavor. Baked beans were good and got a side of Mac n cheese which was also good.
