It opened maybe a year and a half ago. Only been once, but it's pretty damn good.

I ate at the one in Downtown Austin because I heard so much about how good it was. I didn't realize we had one here in Houston till a few months ago.

Would be hard to beat Frenchy's original on Scott.

Not even close. Gus's is damn good. Hot, but not so hot that spice is all you taste. Side items were good too. Cane's sucks ass.

The answer is clearly no. You might get some story in the authenticity or regional appropriateness...but you can't beat Popeyes. It's a fact.

I liked Grandy's. Especially the livers.

I love Popeyes, but just realized they were owned by a Canadian company. WTF.

Inc.,[5] and it was formerly named Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits[6] and Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken & Biscuits.[7] It is currently a subsidiary of Toronto-based Restaurant Brands International.

Good for you. Canes is better than Layne's, but that's about it.

I will attest that Layne's is much better when you are a poor college student.

I prefer homemade fries chicken but Popeye's for regular and Chicken Express for boneless are my top choices in the fast food chicken categories.

I dont care if they're based in Canada, those chicken strips are still the best. Whataburger is now Chicago owned.

It's good but it's no Hattie B's

I guess I'll have to try Gus' again. But having had Hattie B's and other good chicken, it was average. Also preferred laynes to Cain's, but one is 5 minutes from my house and the other 1.5 hours.

Mother ****ing this! Been to Hattie's and Gus's. Gus's was trash compared to Hattie B's. The hot fried chicken at State Fair is way better than Gus's. Give it a try.

Seriously what is the deal with these Popeyes sandwiches? It's just gotta be a huge marketing scam, right?

Seems to be one of the most effective marketing/social media campaigns in memory. Amazing how many people have asked me if I had tried the Popeye's sandwich.

Gus's (Memphis) is great, but I wouldn't put it above Frenchy's or ToreOre Korean fried chicken or Al Aseel in the Tine.

Willie Mae's in NO and Leon's in Charleston are probably my favorites outside of the Tine.

I have been to the Memphis location and it is not great.

We get it, you don't like Gus's. You've called it "trash" and "not great". Probably couple hundred thousand people have passed through those doors and would say otherwise, but your opinion is noted.

Question: did Gus pee on your grandmother's shoes in the 60's or something?
