Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken

Tips from the community

Fried Chicken: Memphis is known for its meats, and chicken is no exception. Gus’s was selected as one of Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat in America in 2016 due to their notoriety among the Memphis food scene. Order a plate of fried chicken (one of the best foods in Memphis) and a few sides. Be sure to try out the fried pickles while you’re there too.
