Have yall noticed any differences in quality between locations? I’ve been to the one in Oxford but not the original in Memphis. I loved it and it’s definitely some of the best fried chicken I’ve had, top 5 for sure, but idk about all this GOAT talk.

One of the very few restaurants I’ve been that I think can make fried chicken better than myself or my mother though.

None of the locations seem to be quite the same as the original in Mason, TN or the second in downtown Memphis

Just curious as to what places you think are better? I’ve been to all of the “best” places — Willie Mae’s, Lorman Country Store, Yardbird, and numerous others, but none come close to Gus’s. Always looking for new places to try.


The one in Austin was not as good as the original location and the one in Memphis, but at the NOLA Food Fest a few years ago I had it and it was excellent

The original location of Gus's is in Mason, Tennessee. The original is far better than all the separately-owned and operated franchises, including the franchise located in Memphis itself.

The original Gus's in Mason is by far the best fried chicken I've ever had, the crust cooked uniquely to a dark brown, almost caramel sweetness. The franchise location in Memphis is, literally, a pale imitation.
