Just north on Crenshaw from the best place in LA for BBQ ribs, Phillip's BBQ, is Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken. I have heard more about Howlin' Ray's, so I wanted to see which one was better.
Located at the corner of Crenshaw and Pico, Gus’s has a large dining area, but tough parking. Parking was easy to find the day I went because it was Easter. Otherwise plan to walk and pay for parking.
2 breast pieces, $4.80 each. Both pieces were nice and juicy! Gus’s has a more subtle heat, that slowly hits your senses! The skin is very crispy and flavorful. This is outstanding chicken and better than Howlin' Ray's!
Service was great! I called ahead to make sure they were open on Easter. Most places have attitude when you ask if they are open. But, not Gus’s. They were friendly and very welcoming! I went to the bar area to place my take out order and lady who helped me was also friendly and welcoming.
I will be back to Gus’s, very soon! A much better flavorful fried chicken than Howlin' Ray's!
