    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.

    Great food and service as always. The steak salad was great, so is the corn bread.

    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.

    Waitress was always available and came to our table multiple times to check in with us. Food came out very quickly and drinks were really good.

    I loved my catfish sandwich and Jalapeño margarita. Someone in my party ordered brisket and did not like it. Thought he would try for the second time to give it another chance, but that was disappointing.

    Usually good service but this time around the hostess was pretty moody and had a terrible attitude. Our waiter nice guy but only saw him every 20 minutes. I get it since it’s Christmas Eve. We left early since the service was not good anyway. Oh well we will try again another time later next year.
