Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken

I visited World Famous Gus's Hot Spicy Chicken in Detroit while I was in town for a funeral. I went in on a quiet Monday afternoon and was warmly welcomed with a smile. They asked if I was dining in and directed me to seat myself. A greeter promptly brought over menus and drinks. The food arrived quickly and was hot, tasty, and delicious. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. I had no complaints about my experience at Gus's.

This is not your typical fast food chicken place, so don't expect generous portion sizes for the prices they charge. Located on a college campus, this chicken joint offers alcohol which is a selling point for some. If you prefer non-corporate fried chicken, it's best to visit places like Nu Wave or other smaller chicken joints in the city. However, if you're just looking for some decent chicken to enjoy with a beer, this spot might be worth a try.

Gus's is amazing! It's my aunt's favorite chicken place when she visits from Pittsburgh. The chicken is hot, crispy, and has a touch of heat that sets it apart from anywhere else.

The best fried chicken in Detroit! Seasoned to a spicy-crispy perfection on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Only slightly disappointed in today’s order, but only because they were out of my favorite side dish, fried okra. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for fried chicken spots in midtown.

Best Fried Chicken I have had hands down. SERIOUSLY!!! Nice and crispy, seasoned PERFECTLY. The BEST!!! The fried green tomatoes are DELICIOUS. I came here because I wanted some fried green tomatoes and decided to get 2 pieces of chicken, baked beans and some mac and cheese. Everything was absolutely delicious!!!
