Little Gus Cafe — Restaurant in Plano

I've been coming to this place for about a year, mainly for the eggs benedict which are pretty good. Had coffe once but it is horribly weak, almost like water. Today, I had the worst experience there. We had the WORST waitress EVER! An older hispanic woman (long hair and glasses). I've never experienced anything like this from the wait staff in my life. She was talking to the table next to us as they were finishing and as she was heading out and said "excuse me" she said "I'll be right back" I'm thinking she was still talking to the table next to us and just didn't hear me because she didnt make eye contact or directed herself to me so, I said again "excuse me" (since she was heading out, I thought she can save herself a trip). She turned around and very rudely said "I told you I'll be right back!!" I was like aaahhh okaaay... shocked! I didn't want to make a big deal because we had our kids. Needeless to say lost my appetite. She came back later to ask if everything was ok and i said "no", she said "what's wrong" i said "your attitude, you shouldn't talk to people like that" and she again said "well, I told you I'll be right back" and left. As we came to pay, the owner was close by and I approched him to let him know what had happened. Well, apparently this was not the first time, he knows that her attitude sucks but yet excused it because she's the only full time worker and "it's hard to find someone full time" really? Obviously, she knows she can get away with anything. Treating paying customers rudely it is not good business. Needless to say we will not be back and I will pass the word so other people I know will stop going or not go because at the very least the owner should talk to her and not "defend" her attitude because it's hard to find full time help. That's bologna!! All I wanted from her is "I'm sorry". We all...

I love to find a little hole in the wall. I was scrolling through Yelp and landed on some strawberry waffles. I made a plan to get over and have some breakfast. It was in my area and had a friend to meet me there. Ugh, my friend was late but that gave me an opportunity to sip some coffee and check out the vibe of the cafe. It was really relaxed and down home. I could tell by the interaction they have several regulars. They greet everyone so warmly and I really felt at home. The cafe bustled with customers the whole time I was there. The food came out quickly even during what I could notice was a busy time. I read my book and had strawberry waffles on my mind. I'm tapping my food and hunger pains started to hit me. Finally, my party made it and we ordered. My friend had GYRO AND EGGS Two eggs any style, gyro meat, cucumber sauce, pan fires and choice of bread. Served with homemade pan fries. I was going to order just the waffle and some breakfast sausage. The server suggested to get the breakfast plate which included half a waffle, 2 eggs and choice of breakfast meat. That's plenty for me. It was cost was cheaper. So much food and it was all amazing. We stayed a while happy and full as I sipped more coffee. We even got to see Gus come out and speak to the patrons. The only thing I would love them to make an adjustment is their venting system. We could literally get a lot of the smoke and frying smells from the kitchen . The air vent system probably with the leasing company should get that corrected for them. The cost to eat there is some economical. You can spend $20.00 or less and get your...

We had a business breakfast at Little Gus Cafe this week, and I’ll absolutely be coming back any time I’m in Plano. The portions were generous, the quality was outstanding, and the atmosphere made it feel like we were regulars—even though it was our first visit.

There were seven of us, and while we weren’t a huge group, we definitely didn’t make it easy. Everyone had their own unique twist on what they wanted—from extra crispy bacon to eggs cooked with surgical precision. But somehow, every single plate came out fast, accurate, and incredibly tasty. I had a massive omelet packed with hearty chunks of sausage, melty cheese, and onions and jalapeños so fresh they still had a little snap when you bit into them. Absolute perfection.

Gus himself came out to check on us, which added a personal touch you just don’t see much anymore. It was a small moment, but it really brought the whole experience together—like the final piece of a puzzle that makes the whole picture click.

I’m looking forward to many more meals with Gus and his team. This place isn’t just a great diner—it’s the kind of spot that makes you want to...
