Reviews for Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken in Burbank, CA

The chicken was good but the batter much too spicy. The Cole slaw was my favorite part of the meal and the greens were good... albeit a little bitter. Plastic forks and knives are provided which makes no sense. The food is a little expensive for chickenso I didn't expect plastic utensils. The chicken is served stop a slice of white bread. I also found it odd. If you want, forexample, to substitute a piece of chicken like a drumstick with a thigh, there is an additional $1 charge. Meals are alsoaccompanied by beans and coleslaw but if you want to substitute one or both of these for another type of side, there is anadditional.50 cent charge. The service was, however, excellent.

Very good~ just a bit too much salt on the deep fried chicken. The greens were delicious ????

Very delicious chicken plus good taste. It is really kindly service with awesome vibes. The restaurant has parking available... inside property plus clean restroom. We wait 5-7 min to our meal get ready then bc I was so hungry I forgot to took pictures ofour meal. Everything was good and I feel like come back again to this place. Read more

Tastes just like Memphis! Flavorful and moist chicken fried in peanut oil. It keeps everything simple. I love getting either... the wings or leg and thigh combo and upgrading the coleslaw to potato salad. I like the baked beans gravy to touch my potatosalad. There is something about the tangy potato salad and sweet baked beans that make me dance in my seat. Read more

If you're debating about where to go eat- just stop looking and go to Gus's. That's how we ended up here and we are really happy... we did. We were passing by Burbank on our way back home, and decided to look up best places to eat; we're so happy that wedecided to eat at Gus's! We were met by a friendly face, Miles, who set us up with a table right away. The restaurant is open,well lit, and clean. We were a party of 6, and we all ordered a lil bit of everything, pretty much. I really wanted friedpickles, but unfortunately they didnt have any at the time. However when the food came out, the chicken was perfectly fried withamazing flavor and a bit of a kick. The collard greens were flavorfull, beans were perfect, Mac n cheese was GREAT, we alsoordered a side of the potato salad, which Im so happy we did because it's to die for! A gentleman, who I seen cooking in theback, came out and brought us honey to try with the chicken...amazing pair, by the way! Miles was really attentive, andfriendly, which is always appreciated!

The chicken was amazing. The sweet potato pie was good, too.The potato salad was alright. I wouldn?t say the Mac n cheese was... good at all. Customer service was great. The restrooms were cleaned. Overall, the experience was good. It is not a soul foodrestaurant, but the items on there are soul food. The style of food is Hispanic/Mexican style. Read more

Just loved it here! Reminds me of being back home. I loved the atmosphere and the music, too. Even better was the customer... service!!! Awesome place!! The food was delicous and comforting! I know where to go when I want a slice of home! Miles was anawesome server. Always rocked a smile and did a great job with the recommendations. We started with the Fried Okra. I tried notto fill up on them because they were so good! The food came out pretty fast, too! The chicken was juicy and I love whatever theycoated the chicken with! Super light, yet crispy and had the perfect amount of heat. The greens are delicious. Nothing betterthan some greens that tastes like my me-maw cooked. Tasted just the same. Even had bacon in it, too. The macaroni and cheese wascooked perfectly! I love the texture of al dente pasta and the amount of cheesiness was on point. The beans were very tasty andhad just the right amount of sweetness just like their fresh brewed iced tea. I love the succulent pieces of fat in thebeans-definitely a plus in my books. They serve your chicken with a slice of bread and it literally just brought me back home toVirginia when I got my plate and saw that piece was hiding under my chicken!! So, I will NEVER purchase Sweet Potato Pie fromanywhere else. The minute I took a bite, I was in heaven. The pie was bliss. This place nailed it. I'm going to buy a whole pienext time. This is not processed sweet potatoes or like canned pumpkin pie filling. They used real sweet potatoes. I know sweetpotato pie is hard to find because we've been searching for a while. This pie and all their pies are homemade AND you can tasteit. Holy moly. Don't buy a slice - bring home a pie. I can't wait to try the rest of their desserts. Heck, we're coming back totry the chicken tenders and coleslaw, too with a root beer float! Read more

Wow. The food was great. Who can say no to perfectly fried chicken. The fried okra was also super awesome. Super crunchy outside... and soft (not slimy) inside. Beans are great too. They even gave us an extra chicken tender - really appreciated !! Read more
