The restaurant was clean and inviting. This is my very first visit. I dine out for breakfast everyday, so I have a pretty good idea what is a reasonable price for breakfast. I ordered the Super Star with these choices. Three eggs, any style, served with hash brown, home fries or Grits, bacon, sausage patties and links and a half order of French Toast for $13.99. I ordered the Super Star with coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice, and opted for turkey bacon instead of pork bacon, because I thought I had the choice. Got the bill and I was a little surprised. Charged an upcharge of $2.00 for the turkey bacon and $6.99 for freshly squeezed orange juice. A $13.99 breakfast with coffee, orange juice, turkey bacon with the upcharges came to about $28.00 for one meal. That's two breakfast meals!

A first time visitor like me may not expect from the location and exterior to find such a gem behind the doors. Yet, voila, this restaurant is definitely a diamond in a coal mine. I got a simple carry-out order of a garden omelet with home fries and two egg and cheese biscuits. The home fries were for my husband who was waiting in the car, yet a mysterious creature ate half of them before he got them because they were so, so good. I only meant to peek at his order, but the scrumptious scent of seasonings hit me and I had to taste just one, then two, then a handful... My bad.

The egg and cheese biscuits were for me. Fantastic, fluffy, light, buttermilk biscuits with cheddar jack cheese that melted in my mouth...

The best part is whatever oils they use are nice and gentle on my stomach that's been giving me such a hard time lately, so the food went down and stayed down perfectly and I feel light and alert despite eating a little bit of everything.

The ONLY reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the lack of waiting area for carry-out patrons. Otherwise they deserve 5 stars. The dining floor and room is pristine, newly renovated, and family friendly.

Gus' is absolutely on my list of...
