Since 1946, Gus’s has been serving true Southern hospitality and some of the best real pit BBQ around. Housed in the iconic Claremont Packing House, Gus’s is a tribute to Southern life, where family, tradition and celebration are of the utmost importance. A menu filled with traditional Southern cooking is complemented by an impressive range of whiskies, wines, cocktails and local craft beers. Today, Gus’s is a space for a warm welcome, a cold mint julep, and a big plate of the best flavors from the American South and Midwest.

    Our first brunch here, Typical great food and terrific service from Gus’s. Only downside is the occasional train horn but that’s no reflection on the restaurant. Thanks for everything!

    Place was great and service was good. Food was horrible. Bbq is what it is known for but the brisket was as dry as a rock. Chicken was fine.
