GUS’S WORLD FAMOUS FRIED CHICKEN
812 S Alamo St, San Antonio, TX 78205
Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken is a Tennessee-born restaurant chain with roots dating back to 1953, when Napoleon “Na” Vanderbilt first began serving his now-famous spicy fried chicken recipe in Mason, Tennessee. The San Antonio location opened in Southtown in 2021 and has since become a go-to spot for crispy, wet-battered fried chicken made with a signature overnight marinade that delivers bold flavor and a juicy bite in every piece.
In addition to its award-winning fried chicken, Gus’s menu features fried catfish plates, chicken tenders, fried green tomatoes, fried okra, and classic Southern sides including collard greens, mac and cheese, pork and beans, and potato salad. Dessert favorites include chocolate chess pie, pecan pie, and the “Big Wayne,” a combination of both pies served together. During Spurs playoff season, the restaurant is also offering its “2-1-0 Spurs Special,” featuring an eight-piece all-dark chicken order for $21 every game day through the end of the 2026 playoffs.
