🔥 Pasadena BBQ Gem — Gus’s BBQ

Just tried this local favorite and it left us pretty satisfied! Five of us ate well for around $150 including tip 💸 The meat here is tender and well-smoked, though on the leaner side — not as juicy or fatty as some traditional Texas-style BBQ, but still flavorful and enjoyable. The brisket portion felt a bit modest, but the short ribs were generous and meaty 🍖 The real star was the nachos — loaded with tender pulled pork, melted cheese, fresh avocado salsa, and crisp tortilla chips. Every bite was a delicious, textured crunch-fest 🌮🧀 We also loved the cornbread — moist and slightly sweet with real corn kernels mixed in, likely from canned corn. It paired perfectly with the smoky meats. Service was friendly and attentive, and the rustic, spacious interior gave off genuine BBQ-joint vibes. A solid spot for a casual feast with friends! 📍 Address: 808 Fair Oaks Ave, South Pasadena, CA 91030 #PasadenaEats #LosAngelesBBQ #TexasBBQ #GusBBQ #FoodieLA #SmokedMeats #ComfortFood #NachosForDays #LocalFlavor #EatInLA #BBQLovers #CaliforniaDining #CasualDining #FeastMode
