Some meals came out hot. Some meals came out cold to the touch. Two were sent back, and those took an additional 30 minutes to come back out. Buddy, chicken just ain't that hard to cook!
Good chicken, worst and slowest service I've experienced in years in a restaurant. Came on a slow Wednesday night (party of 7), with only two other parties waiting for service when we came in. Waitress took forever to get around to taking our order (at least 20 minutes) after greeting us as she was hanging out chatting with other staff.
All orders, not surprisingly, were for some form of fried chicken, so they could have been cooked together. But they weren't - that's too easy - they were cooked separately! (Open kitchen so you can watch). The chicken was tasty after all that time and effort, but the sides were a mixed bag.
It took over a hour to get served our food. We watched some of it get plated and sit for 20 minutes while the rest was cooked. Sloooowwwwly cooked.
The waitress blamed the cook staff, but she bore some responsibility. It even took a long time to get the check (with mandatory 18% tip!!!) after pointedly asking for it. Frankly, I wouldn't have bothered to post a review until I saw the 18% tip on my bill for clearly bad service.
Good spicy chicken but prices are a little high.
We arrived at 6 pm, left at 7:30 taking the reheated meals to go. Other parties were waiting a long time too. Last time I ate at Gus's in Memphis, it might have taken 15 minutes to get served after the order in a packed restaurant. The chicken is good, but the Oxford branch needs serious help.
The chicken tenders are very good. They have a variety of sides but have a preferred 2 they want you to pick. If you pick any other the baked beans and slaw you pay extra.
When I walked in, there was only 1 couple dinning in on a Wednesday around 7 pm. I ordered the chicken tenders and an 8 pc white meat meal. The chicken tenders skin was sooo dry, but the inside tasted like it came off the bone (I get tenders because I don't like how bone in chicken tastes). Some of the fries had seasoning and some didn't. The slaw was okay though, definitely not worth $40. KFC would have been better and cheaper.
Great friend chicken! Not as spicy as they advertise, but still has a kick to it. Highly recommended if you're in Oxford.
