Ready for a new chicken stop to spice up your routine? You're in luck: Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken has opened an outpost in town, at 102 N. Sycamore St., in Downtown Santa Ana.
The chain specializes in chicken fried in peanut oil that's sold as individual pieces, snacks and plates. Sides include baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, mac and cheese and seasoned fries.
With a five-star rating out of 10 reviews on Yelp so far, this latest member of a chain seems to be a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
Gene D., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Jan. 29, wrote, "After the first bite, I don't think I have had legit fried chicken until now. The skin was crisp but not overly coated, unlike KFC or Popeyes. And definitely not nearly as greasy; in fact it wasn't greasy at all."
Yelper Susie H. added, “Amazing chicken! Amazing service! Great prices! Probably the best fried chicken, okra and mac and cheese I've ever eaten.”
Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken is open from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. daily.
