Just arrived in Phoenix, USA, and my daughter took us to this fried chicken shop. It was pretty good! We’ve also been to their Flagstaff branch a few times—really tasty, tender, and flavorful. #PhoenixEats #FlagstaffFoodie #FriedChickenLovers #TravelWithFamily #FoodAdventures

I’ve heard good this about this spot and found myself downtown and nearby so I decided to give them a try. Let’s starts with the positive Ample seating for being downtown. We all know how challenging dining downtown can be with seating arrangements. The staff was friendly upon entry and the sign says to pick a seat of your choosing. My mom ordered a chicken sandwich which interestingly enough the chicken used is thigh meat. Most places are either using chicken breast or tenders so it was cool to see the creativity of trying something else. The sandwich is spicy 🌶️ so if you’re not able to handle spice I would steer clear of this one. Overall wonderful flavor and the chicken was juicy and delicious Here are the cons Pricing is a bit interesting and they choose the sides for you but you do have the option to switch your sides for an additional up charge I ended up ordering a 2 piece with Mac and cheese and potato salad The Mac and cheese arrived looking very similar to Kraft and/or velvetta cheese with sprinkled shredded cheese on top that wasn’t even melted and paprika 😐 The potato salad and 0 flavor Here’s what I appreciated When the waitress came to check on us and I shared my concerns the bill was comped by the GM. There was no back and forth or feeling like you had to explain your overall disappointment He was pleasant and professional

I arrived at the restaurant around 11:50 a.m. There were 3 servers working. There was petite young lady at the counter was taking an large order for a gentleman (she instantly greeted me and told me she would be a while but she will be with me asap) There was a young lady with long braids in a grey/black shirt who was serving a large group of about 9 - 12 people. Then there was a older lady in a pink shirt who had maybe 3 tables who were already eating. I stood at the counter waiting for Miss. Petite to finish the gentleman's order. Five minutes later they were still going over the order so I stood at the counter to see the Ms. Pink would come and ask if I needed help she looked me in my face and didn't greet me she just picked something up from behind the counter and moved on. So I went to take a seat near Ms. Petite and waited for her to finish with the gentleman. I waited about 20 minutes passed and Ms. Petite is taking the big order. As I was waiting Ms. Pink walked by me at least 3-4 times. Not once did she ask if I had been helped or anything. Miss Braids had been floating back and forth between her large table and the kitchen for the duration of the time I was there. As I waited, a guy came in and Miss Petite told him she would be with him in moment she's just finishing up the order she was working on but I would be next, the guy said okay and started to wait. Within 2 minutes Ms. Pink asked the guy if she could help him walked him over to server's station and took his order. She then came to one of the tables she was serving that was just across from me and ask him if he needed anything and then walked passed me and went to the kitchen. A DoorDash person came in to pick up orders and Ms. Pink instantly attended to him to let him know the order was still being prepared. Ms. Petite finished the large order and then took my order as I waited for order to be prepared Ms. Pink again assisted with a DoorDash person when they came in. After waiting for about 45 minutes I still had not gotten my order everyone who had came in after me had received their order and left. Miss Braids (who had just finished with her large group) came over and asked me if I had received my order yet I told her I had not she asked my name and went to get my order which had been sitting on the counter by the kitchen for a while and brought it to me. As I walked out the door Ms. Pink was standing at the door and proceeds to say have a nice day. I feel she was being condescending she didn't once acknowledge me as I waited to order, didn't once ask I waited for my order to come out check on it. My service was subpar. I understand Miss. Petite was busy but she could've taken a moment to ask for someone to come and take my order since the one she was doing was taking so long and as for Ms. Pink. She was passive aggressively rude and had extremely back customer service. I WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS LOCATION AGAIN EVER.

Plus chicken pieces were so freaking small it was like I got...

Finger-Lickin' Delight and Exceptional Service at [Chicken Heaven] in Phoenix!

Hey foodies! 🍗 Just had an unforgettable experience at Gus’s in Downtown Phoenix, and I can't wait to share all the juicy details with you. 🤤

From the moment we stepped in, the aroma of sizzling fried chicken filled the air, setting the stage for an amazing meal. 😋 But what truly elevated this dining experience was the exceptional service we received from Valerie, a shining star among the staff. 👏

Now, let's talk about Valerie. 🌟 Her warm smile and attentive nature made us feel right at home. She took the time to walk us through the menu, offering insightful recommendations that suited our taste buds perfectly. Her genuine enthusiasm for the food and the restaurant was contagious, making us even more excited to dive into our meal.

Valerie's impeccable service didn't stop there. She ensured our drinks were always topped up and checked in on us with a friendly demeanor, creating a dining experience that was both comfortable and memorable. It's these small yet impactful touches that make a meal truly exceptional.

In a world where great food and fantastic service can sometimes be hard to come by, Gus’s and Valerie truly exceeded our expectations. If you're in Phoenix and craving some mouthwatering fried chicken served with a side of top-notch service, look no further. 🌟

Overall, Gus’s gets a solid 5/5 from me. The food was divine, the ambiance inviting, and Valerie's service was the cherry on top. Can't wait to visit again and relive this finger-lickin' delight! 🍗🔥
