Review by Geovany Weimann

Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken is a true gem! 🍗 The atmosphere is casual and inviting, with quirky picnic-style seating that adds charm. My order of fried chicken arrived hot and perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of spice to keep it interesting.

The sides, especially the fried okra, complemented the meal beautifully. The service was top-notch, with our server, Kristin E, giving us great tips for our Kentucky adventure!

Just a heads-up, parking can be tricky - definitely double-check your spot. Overall, a fantastic experience I’d highly recommend! 🙌✨
