    What’s not to like about Gus? Great local bbq only to be complimented by the exceptional hospitality of Reina. She’s an absolute pleasure. Someone that’s so meticulous about their work and genuinely remembers you. We’d come back just to hang out with her.

    It was busy Saturday evening, 2 hour wait to be seated. Miscommunications in the front but we patiently waited. The server gave excellent service, recommended great food items.

    We love Gus's! I've had the brick chicken countless times, but this time the. Hickenlooper was so pretty it looked like a picture from a magazine. And it was as tasty as ever.

    We have been there before but mostly for lunch or dinner, never for breakfast. So our first time at breakfast was good. We'll definitely comeback.
