Gus's BBQ - South Pasadena

Great everything, especially the brisket and the corn bread appetizer. Good drinks too.

Great food. A landmark in South Pasadena.

Edit: we came for the bbq for dinner. I had the fried chicken and waffles. Freaking amazing. The chicken was so crispy. Waffles were buttery. Service was great even with the crowd. Great for brunch lunch and dinner. A very family friendly restaurant but they they also have a small quiet bar. Love the vintage theme through the interior. They have excellent service here and even better food. Their BBQ is savory and full of flavor. Today I had the blueberry pancakes and boy were they good. The pancakes were huge and flavorful. It seems the blueberries were fresh and organic. They gave us fantastic service.

Absolutely one of the best BBQ places in Los Angeles. Incredible selection, very filling and fantastic selections of beer. Great service also. Give Gus's a try, you will not be disappointed.

It's like being in Nashville without leaving home. The food is incredible and the service is equally good. The place was full on Sunday evening, but we still got seated within minutes, so that was great for us. We had the pulled pork nachos as a starter, and what a start! The nachos were delicious. Everything tasted freshly made. For the main course we chose the Picnic Platter and the Rib Sandwich. Those were to die for! The meat falls off the bone, the BBQ sauce is not too salty or sweet, so it's perfectly balanced flavors. The fried chicken was juicy and fried to perfection. The sides were so good too. We got the creamed corn (my mouth waters just thinking about it!), and the cole slaw. We complemented with House Made Lemonade and Orange Cream Soda. Unfortunately, we didn't have room for dessert...so we will have to come back for that, and more. Our server, Scott, was so nice and made us feel at home all through our meal. I'm telling you, this is a "must go" place. Parking: The free parking lot was full, but there is street parking for free on side streets. Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs, so it's easy to get around.

Friendly staff and great atmosphere... didn't get to try any of the BBQ (happy hour)but the drinks where made perfect everytime. Our Server Zoey was incredibly helpful, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our short visit there was one to remember. It's rare to find servers like that these days. We Can't wait to go back and indulge on the tasty BBQ I've been hearing do much about.

Absolutely a great place for bbq and all other foods, great bar, good parking on the side of the resturant
