    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!

    The chef sent out a mushroom tea- a broth with truffles. Loved it! The beet salad was disappointing, but the grilled salad was excellent. We ordered the porterhouse steak. It was good, but not impressive. The baked potato was to die for! It tasted like Mac and cheese. Definitely order the South Pasadena cocktail-OMG- so good! We will go back. Service was excellent as was the ambiance!
