This spicy sauce is spiked with bourbon and and gets a kick from chipotles and habaneros. Use generously on just about anything, but it tastes best when enjoyed with family and friends.

This rub gets used on just about everything at Gus’s BBQ, adding that “just-right” smoky spice. We figured it was time to share the wealth, and let you take our secret spices at home. Works great as a dry rub or a classic seasoning for all your savory dishes. Dust liberally on beef, pork, poultry, seafood and everything in between!

Everything was fantastic, as usual. You can't best their brisket and jalapeño grits. First time having the cornbread, and I thought was mediocre at best.

You definitely need to make a reservation or you could have a long wait. We were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation time. The food was good and not over priced. The service was also good. There’s a full menu to choose from and they even have a happy hour.

We had a lovely brunch at Gus's this morning. We were greeted by our favorite hostess - Kate - and she while she seated us for our brunch, she reserved a visit for the dinner for the shopping center's tree lighting ceremony in early December. What a great idea and it gives us something special to look forward to in a few weeks. Our server Kevin was wonderful as he has been in the past and the pace of our brunch and service was lovely. And the managers and other servers stopped for a brief hello and to check on us when they wandered by. All in all, it was a beautiful place to have our first meal of the day and we were surrounded by friendly and attentive staff who made certain we felt cared for and about! Thank you!
