NicksDad,
Your opinion on Gus's fried chicken?
I loved their spicy fried chicken (and the sweet potato pie) - do locals also dig the place?

I didn't like it. Which one did you eat at?
AFAIK Gus's became well known nation or world wide 5++ years ago when Rolling Stone said it was the best chicken ever.
At that time they only had one location which was in Mason Tn (I believe it was Mason anyway) and it was loaded with grease. Supposedly just some awesome stuff.
They then did what most people would do by expanding. They opened one near the Wolf Chase mall and one in downtown.
I've heard some real good things about the one downtown but I havn't tried that one. I havn't eaten there. I've only tried the place by the mall. I don't know if I got a bad batch or what but mine was no better than KFC.
cliff notes - I didn't like it. I don't know what locals think about em cause I don't really hear people talk about Gus's.
