South Pasadena

Since 1946, Gus’s has been serving the good folks of South Pasadena (and beyond!) with true Southern hospitality and some of the best real pit BBQ around. Located on historic Route 66, Gus’s is a tribute to Southern life, where family, tradition, and celebration are valued. The menu features traditional Southern cooking and authentic, wood-smoked BBQ, alongside a wide selection of whiskies, wines, cocktails, and local craft beers. Gus’s offers a warm welcome, refreshing mint juleps, and delicious dishes from the American South and Midwest. It's no wonder why Gus’s food has been praised as "so good that we found ourselves eating more than we’d imagined" by S. Irene Virbila of the Los Angeles Times, and named one of the top 10 BBQ restaurants on the west coast by Sunset Magazine.

This popular barbecue joint offers a mix of hits and misses in terms of food quality, service, and pricing. While some dishes like the cornbread and St. Louis Ribs stand out, others fall short in flavor and portion size. The staff is friendly, but service can be slow and inexperienced at times. Overall, the atmosphere is welcoming, making it a good spot for a casual meal with friends. Despite some mixed reviews, there is potential for improvement, especially in consistency and communication with customers. With a varied menu and attentive service, this restaurant is worth a visit for a taste of classic BBQ fare.

This place has delicious grill. The brisket is tasty (only a little dry in my opinion, but my sister loved it, and she is the right diet). Cole Slav is on site. The creamy corn is sweet and tasty. Cornbread is also sweet and they give it generous. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food came surprisingly fast after the order. Super impressed by this restaurant!

The famous Gus BBQ definitely worth your visit in Pasadena. No reservations needed, no lines on Saturday afternoon. Waiters are friendly and patient. The portions of the BBQ is just right.
