Buffet is good, but unfortunately ran out of certain dishes. Busboy was more accommodating than servers. Fresh fruits were not good but compote berry was. Eggs Benedict and potatoes were excellent. Waffles were too dense to enjoy unlike the last time I was here it was beautifully light and fluffy. Coffee is outstanding.

We’ve been to Gus’s many many times in the vast for their BBQ, but this time we went for their breakfast menu and boy was it spectacular. There are no better pancakes at any breakfast spot anywhere! Their breakfast biscuits are amazing and so was their chicken fried steak. The service was outstanding as usual! We love Gus’s very much, what an excellent restaurant for Breakfast as well as Dinner!
