Gus's Franklin Park - Harrison

Foods and staffs are great. And also, kids friendly.I love this restaurant. I want to go again soon.

I 'm torn between a 3 or 4 here for this Harrison institution. Looks like I 'm not alone. We went there early on a Saturday night, and the restaurant was jam packed. Soon every table was taken. The restaurant has been owned by the same family forever (except for one brief period of time) . It 's a bit of a throwback but the fish is fresh and servings are generous. I can 't remember the last time I 've been asked if I wanted baked potato, rice, or fries with each entree. Lots of fried food. Lots of people eating the turkey dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy. As I said, traditional. The clams casino were amazing. Crab cakes okay, not up to Maryland standards. Blackened Swordfish was fresh and sort of under seasoned, surprisingly, considering it 's a blackened fish, and it was sliced too thin. But good nonetheless. Our one bad moment was when we requested a booth because we had an elderly person with us with a cane, and the hostess said no, even though there were empty booths. It was her tone that got us completely dismissive. This is never okay. Given all the old people eating there, she probably needs some training on dealing with their needs. And she should work on her tone. But the rest of the service was great. If you want a good old fashioned fish, vegetable, starch dinner in a tavern room, Gus 's delivers. It 's too bad the hostess has a bad attitude.

After seeing the many positive reviews of Gus 's, we were intrigued to try it for ourselves when we were in the neighborhood for lunch recently and we were totally blown away ! An unassuming exterior leads you into a full service bar and restaurant that compares well to (and surpasses) larger and fancier eateries. The place was not crowded so the three of us were seated immediately. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were so many favorite items on the menu we were having a hard time deciding! Complimentary bread was served and replenished when requested. Fresh Cole Slaw too! That 's delicious on its own! Started with the clam chowder both New England and Manhattan is available. We tried both flavorful and thick. We opted for salads with grilled chicken and with grilled shrimp. Again well prepared, well seasoned and generously plated. We were full but couldn 't resist a dessert. Rice pudding and a slice of Key Lime Pie hit the spot! We will definitely be back!

Service is atrocious , the food was cold and greasy. This place used to be good ! Been coming here since I was a kid, now I'm 55 and I will never go back again. Save your money and time

Love this place. Growing up in Massachusetts-we had places like this all over but had never found something similar around Westchester. That is until I was pleasantly surprised to be introduced to this place by my in-laws. Great seafood (including lots of types of fish i got back in New England but do not see as often around here, like Boston scrod), delicious desserts (highly recommend the pecan pie) and reasonable prices with a laid back vibe, make this a great local staple. The service is also top notch. Don't miss this spot!
