Put this on the “must-try” list! If you haven’t eaten at Gus’s, you are missing out! I love their tenders … they are amazingly flavourful and juicy. The staff are friendly and attentive, and as many time as I’ve gotten take-out, it’s always the same great quality. They’re also quick! I can call when I leave my office for lunch, and my order is ready when I walk through the door 10 minutes later. That’s spectacular!
If you don’t like spicy, Gus’s may not be your thing. They do chicken one way, and yes, that chicken has a bit of a kick. Not too much, kind of like what Justin Wilson used to call “a sticker on your tongue” — just enough that you know it’s there.
And you have to try the fried pie. I can’t pick a favourite: chocolate? cherry? peach? That sweet little pie is a great way to finish out the meal!
A note about the Eastgate location, which is the one I go to most: parking is a nightmare and the dining area is very small and crowded. Since I don’t like a hassle of any kind, the fact that I keep coming back here should be a very big clue as to just how good this chicken is.
