Since 1946, Gus’s has been serving true Southern hospitality and some of the best real pit BBQ around. Housed in the iconic Claremont Packing House, Gus’s is a tribute to Southern life, where family, tradition and celebration are of the utmost importance. A menu filled with traditional Southern cooking is complemented by an impressive range of whiskies, wines, cocktails and local craft beers. Today, Gus’s is a space for a warm welcome, a cold mint julep, and a big plate of the best flavors from the American South and Midwest.

    2nd time to eat at this location, but 1st time to be sitting outside. It was perfect! Our waiter, Aces, was great! 3 of us had breakfast; 1 had the blackened Salmon salad. The food was fine. The location is great.

    Dude food was great! Alyssa was the slowest! The booth next to us had 3 different parties in the time it took for us get our order. She’s lovely but maybe overwhelmed with too much? We have no idea but we had to rearrange our plans for the entire night after dinner because we were there for so long!

    Food was really good! And so was the atmosphere. The Mac and cheese was mid but I honestly don’t expect much unless they’re know for it. 9/10!
