    As always, a good time was had. A date night with my wife, some sangria, good food, good service, what else could I have asked for. All in all nice time.

    Our server, Andrea, was incredibly pleasant and super professional. She made some great recommendations and everyone enjoyed everything. The Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs were spectacular!!! Already planning our next visit.

    My favorite Gus's dinner - brick chicken - is always so great that it's hard to order anything else (but I do have other loves on the menu). Tonight, my go-to brick chicken was as great as always. Also, it's a huge dinner, about half of which will be my lunch tomorrow.

    As before, the food is very good as well as the service and that is why we keep coming back. It would be nice if some of the other patrons would consider keeping their kids from yelling to the top of their lungs, but all in all, good experience as always.

    Nice restaurant with tasty food. Great bar and cocktails that were reasonably priced. Service was outstanding. The blueberry cobbler was to die for. Only negative was how loud it was, very hard to have conversation, but will still would definitely go back.
