Awesome burgers and milkshakes! Our meals came out quick and exactly to order. Nevarah, our server, did a great job. We will be back!
Cute little diner, my son and I got Michigan dogs and Michigan fries and he couldnt of been happier.
The waitress had a horrible attitude, when my breakfast arrived she piled butter packets and syrup canisters ON TOP OF my food. Has she never heard of cross contamination??? I don’t know where anything like that has been, and when i asked her to take it back she said “well you should have said not to do that” i have to tell her not to contaminate my food???! What is wrong with these people
Great diner food i had some very yummy garlic wings. My husband enjoyed the Rubin he had. But dessert was the best lemon meranqe pie perfect. The atmosphere was done creatively. Our waitress was very friendly. An enjoyable experience.
Awesome service! A little slow because it was busy, but that is to be expected! Go show them some love!! By the way, that breakfast sandwich is bomb!
First time we got there for breakfast !After we had read positive comments about that place, my wife and I decided to give a try !After waiting a longtime, we had the visit of a waitress. We looked at the menu, and we did not find any complete breakfast.One egg with toasts 4.95$One egg with toasts and homefries 6.95 $Add meat 3.00$Add a coffee 2.95 $total of 12.95$ for only one egg, toasts and frozen potatoes, you get homefries or a patty of potatoes like McDo.Raw bacons in my wife wrap, a wrap in that place costs around 7.00$ egg, a little bit of cheese and raw bacons.First and last time, Plattsburgh has plenty others good restaurants for their people !
I had a Monte Cristo sandwich and fries, chocolate cake to go. Quick and friendly service, yummy comfort food.
Love what the new owners have done to Gus !!!! Great comfort food, pleasant service and outdoor seating! See you again soon!
I felt very welcomed here. A great service. When im going to pass thought this area, Im going to make sure that i eat my breakfast here. The food was tasty and well made. The prices are very good. Its friendliness of the staff that makes you come back!
We tried this place for the first time and did pick up. We ordered buffalo chicken sandwich ( without the blue cheese), asked for no blue cheese. We also ordered two chocolate chips pancakes and a fry sea food plater ( haddock, garlic herb shrimp and buffalo shrimp). When going there it took a while for anyone to even greet let alone help cash out my meal. The meal we got was not what we asked for. There blue cheese on the sandwich, the pancakes where plan. Over all the food was ok. Portion was average. Will I go back? Probably not.
Use to be the go to place for Michigan hot dogs and sauce, and fresh perch meals. Closed down during covid and now has new owners. Friendly staff, but things are different and the food just isnt the same.
Great service and pricing! It tasted great!!!
Love this place! Stop every time Im anywhere near. Even Burlington. Great Michigan dogs! Fresh cut french fries. Amazing chocolate shake! Great service. And the entrance to the Northway is across the street. Never had anything to complain about here in the last 10 years!
The owners are fantastic people and they hired great staff. I would highly recommend. The restaurant is always clean and prices are reasonable.
I ordered a Philly cheese steak, when I got my order it had burnt cheese all underneath all the meat burnt and I mean burnt cheese. You could literally take this huge piece of cheese off. I complained and delt with it bc I was heading back to VT. The cook came over where I was sitting and I slide the burnt cheese on the plate right to him, and said you want this..Then we ordered 2 michagan dogs ( my boyfriend was so excited to go there bc 2 years ago it WAS GREAT)they sucked. You couldnt even taste anything but hot dog.. Then we got such small amounts bc we asked for our meal that we ate there to be put in a to go box. Wow I didnt realize how much of a difference in the amount and quality you get.
Gus was the perfect stop on our drive North. Very close off the highway and easy to get to. This diner has a full menu with tons of options.Great breakfast choices. The food was delicious! Try the corn beef and hash!!! Its great!
Great food. Great service. I highly recommend the Michigan.
Eggs were cold. Toast was soggy from the watery poached eggs ( should have been in its own bowl). Hash browns were prepackaged. Sausage gravy was not homemade.
First time ordering from their sub shop asked for extra meat and toasted! had 4 slices of meat on a full sub and it was still cold. And was very messy mayo was all over the aluminum foil instead of in the sub wish I could post pictures here
Food is incredibly good! I ordered the new Gus burger , husband ordered the chicken fried steak . Friendly staff , clean restaurant with a cute diner style . Recommended and definitely coming back:)
Great bacon cheeseburger seasoned fries and macaroni salad fish and chips and coleslaw also great and like always the staff are warm and friendly.
Michigan sauce is bad. The ground beef is in chunks. Was never asked about onions, which were buried. I wont be going back.
Service was good. Medium burger came cooked completely through was not as ordered and prices are quite high for the serving you are given
Fantastic food, great prices and friendly service! Will continue to go back often!
Went to eat here for the first time today. Food was great! Big portions even. We definitely want to come back and try some other dishes as well. Watched the staff make milkshakes for another table that looked awesome. We will have to get them next time.
Great local spot. Was told to try the Michigan hot dogs which hit the spot. Was had the turkey club which was perfect on a hot summer day. Will be back soon.
Food was very good.Michigans were excellent. Service was a plus. Recommend this place for good home style cooking
Ok so I was pleasantly surprised. I didnt know that they did breakfast and I ordered two eggs over medium two white toast with home fries and coffee. I have to say that was by far the best restaurant breakfast I have had in a long time. So much better then The Hungry Bear or Pennys ever thought of serving. Gus Red Hots has my vote for breakfast and lunch now I have to go in and try something from their dinner that I havent had before. Thanks guys for the best breakfast and Kayla you service was wonderful
Very limited menu. We thought it would be traditional diner style with variety but basically is a burger and breakfast place. We had burgers and they were unremarkable, nothing special. Service was average to good. Perhaps they are better known for their breakfast. They need to expand their menu, at least to add some salad meals and perhaps daily special dinner entrees other than burgers.
This karla one of the waitress she was wonderful, funny and she was on top of everything plus some. Well deserve recognition. Thank you Karla
So glad to have Gus open again.This place is an old time landmark.So happy the new owners didnt change any of the good stuff, but did make a lot of improvements. The outdoor seating deck is great.The food is very good and reasonably priced. The service is also very good. I was a waitress at Gus in the late sixties. It was like a trip down memory lane. I could almost see Gus standing in his favorite spot keeping his eye on everything! Thanks for bringing it back.
Perfect diner to have around the corner; breakfast, lunch, dinner - everything they serve is excellent and the home fries are to die for!
Horid poor quality food. long wait from order to food. waitress pleasant not her fault
What an institution….so nice to get away from the other fast food joints Worth a try for sure
Established in 1951, Gus is a Plattsburgh staple and one of the more famous michigan joints in Plattsburgh. While their Michigan are what Gus is famous for, they also offer plenty of other tasty options.Among which is their reuben sandwiches and pouting. Dining in is highly recommended as you can feel the history when you walk through the door and the friendly wait staff are ready to welcome you in.They recently added pizza to their menu and just like everything on their menu it is very good.If you are visiting Plattsburgh definitely stop in.
This place had so much charm and the photos of the place they decorated with added a nice touch. Its great to see how a place has changed over the years. Service was quick and the waitress was nice. Food was good.
Went today with my family sat at the bar and had zero problems waiting for food or even the food. The sauce was on the dryer side which everyone likes there sauce different. The customer service on the other hand is what really bothered my entire family was the owner roberts reaction to a customer issue where there was a problem with the order. The owner did not wait to go into the kitchen before he started swearing loud enough for us and probably the older gentleman who’s order was messed up to be out of earshot. Extremely disrespectful and disappointing as this restaurant used to be family oriented and so friendly when was Carl was running it. My father even stepped up and told the owner that’s his actions were completely uncalled for which they were. The poor waitress apologized to us which his actions are not her fault. We didn’t even bother to finish our meals we paid and left. It’s sad to see what once was a good restaurant go up in smoke because of a owner who can’t keep his composure until he gets to the kitchen. I understand the reopening and the amount of costumers have been crazy but the owners actions today were completely unacceptable. 0/10
Best cheeseburger and onion rings Ive had in a very long time!!!
Im glad it has reopened. Although it is not exactly as it was, the place is a north country institution. The new owners are doing a great job. Good food, fair prices, friendly staff. My only suggestion is for them to put the baskets back on the menu.
Drove by this place many times in my life and finally stopped in for some breakfast. Our server was so sweet and our food was ready in under 10 minutes! Nicely done crew 👏
Completely remodeled inside & out, just in time for the 21 ADK summer. I recently placed a breakfast order on my way home, picked it up, drove home while being ready to enjoy my eggs & home fries only to find out my 2 over lightly eggs were over done. I called to tell them in the future what over lightly eggs were to me and ask what I should say the next time I order so my eggs are the way I like & the wait staff gave the phone to the owner Janelle, who immediately apologized and said she would replace them. Living
Nice diner styled restaurant known for their Michigan style hot dogs. Service was very good. So good two servers came to our table to take our order, lol. I had their Michigan burger which was very good. The child sized chicken fingers was a generous 4 pieces with fries. The poutines were a bit skimpy portion and curds. Other than that I would recommend stopping here.
Best diner in plattsburgh food is good portion are ok prices are ok
Location, location and location. If you are heading to the Adirondacks via the ferry to Plattsburgh you will drive right by this place. If you like hot dogs then you can stop here for Plattsburghs signature hot dog, the Michigan.My wife does not particularly like hot dogs so Guss works for both of us because they have a complete menu of diner fare. She likes their Reuben sandwich.So, convenient, inexpensive, good food. Whats not to like?
Really good food at very good prices. Staff was very friendly we will definitely stop here again.
Food was good for most of our party. However, my eggs were awful. It was as if they just scraped someones leftover eggs onto my plate and called those my two scrambled eggs. They were part burned and part runny. So gross. Service was friendly but incredibly slow compared to other customers who arrived after us.
Stopped in for breakfast. Service and food were good.
Great diner to get the local feel. Fill up on the Red Hots platter and a good cup of coffee. Good homemade soups also.
If you like the standard greasy diner style food, then youll probably like what is served. Not saying that in a bad way, because I personally like that kind of food, but this is not the place to go for an upscale dining experience.I grew up in the area in the 60s and 70s, so I might be a bit biased when I say I love the atmosphere of this place. It has a homey feel.Service is usually just fine, but occasionally when busy it can be slow.The food is fairly standard diner fair. I think the prices are a **little** high, but Ill make allowances due to the crazy circumstances in the last year and the expense involved reopening this place.It seems the new menu has been trimmed down a little, but still maintains all the old favorites. Overall the place looks and runs just like it did before it closed, which is nice. Cosmetically, very little has changed inside. However, the new owners have added a nice outdoor seating area as well as freshly paved the parking lot and spruced it up and I think it looks nicer than it ever has from the road.As for the michigans (red hots), it really depends on what type of michigan you like. If you like the standard michigan which is served at places like Clare & Carls, Michigans Plus, McSweeneys or Nitzis then youll like these michigans because in my opinion they all taste about the same. These michigans are much more chili powder based and have a mushier consistency. I personally prefer a sweeter, meatier style of sauce such as the type served at Ronnies. But to each their own.The poutine was not half bad and was more authentic than youll find at most places as it used real cheese curds. However, it really should have more gravy and the gravy itself needs a heartier flavor.Im hoping this year they continue the tradition with their perch dinner, because it was absolutely the best in the area.So overall when Im in the mood for a hometown atmosphere and greasy diner food, or its 5:00 p.m. and I feel like eating breakfast, this is where I usually go and Im rarely disappointed. Its so nice to have this place reopened and operating like usual.
An iconic and traditional diner with excellent service and a good quality of food. More vegetarian options would be appreciated.
They use McKenzie hot dogs, just so you know, found in supermarket. I found the meat sauce to be gritty and rather bland. I guess its supposed to be that way, not my personal cup of tea.
If I could give zero stars, I would. We had decided to go to Gus for dinner tonight and see how much it had changed under the new ownership and support local business. I must say, Im not impressed. When we walked in, we were told we could seat ourselves and somebody would be with us in just a minute. This was the only acknowledgment that we even existed. We sat for over ten minutes waiting for a waitress. During this time we watched the waitstaff at the counter messing around and chitchatting. Id also like to mention the fact that it was about sixty degrees outside and they had the air conditioner turned basically as low as it could go. During this ten minutes we froze. Eventually we decided that they obviously didnt want our business and left. Im quite disappointed and probably wont be returning.Edit: I also posted a comment on their Facebook page. Today when I checked to see if anybody had gotten back to me, I discovered they removed the post. Glad to see that they have no customer service skills. I certainly wont be returning and I recommend you dont even waste your time. There are multiple other home-style restaurants in the Plattsburgh/ West Chazy area that have amazing food and actually care about their customers satisfaction. Obviously all of the positive feedback/comments on Facebook only exist because they remove negative comments. Seriously, dont bother wasting your time.
Will not be eating there again !! Service was extremely slow, took forever to get our food. The waitress never came to check on us. I had to go to the check out area to get my check. The prices are crazy….
LOVED the Michigans and fresh pie. Yummy!!!
I was so happy when my 4 year old daughter picked Gus Red Hots for her special lunch after her Pre-K Graduation!!! I was so sad when they closed down...and was soooooo happy to see that when they reopened they reopened tenfold! I love and always will love the Original Gus Red Hots, but it has another new place in my heart for sure!!!❤️
It was ok not what I remember it was like 30 years ago.
Was excited to try the new Guss out. The michigans taste good, but really small and the hot dog was cold. The ruben was just a sandwich, nothing special. French fries are good.
Just wish they a have more on the menu like a bit more of a. Variety
Service was awesome. Cleanliness is tops. Food!!!...they are known for their michigans, but we had the Reuben and Monte Cristo with a poutine and it was mouthwatering!
Nice friendly staff good food very tasty😄😄
Really cute diner. Great service, good food and good portions. Breakfast was served all day. No room for dessert but will be back again.
It was ok had breakfast there homefries where deep fried, to me thats a short French fry
Nice staff great food and good prices
I had a burger and cole slaw, it was good. Kids had Michigans. Nice to revisit a place my husband has memories of from his childhood.
Met good friends and enjoyed lunch together. The workers made sure we were comfortable inside and away from other people to avoid the bees outside!
My food was good. I had the Reuben, but on wheat. It was good, the corned beef was very good. The French fries were good. Crispy and delicious, especially with the ketchup. But my favorite fries are the late crinkle-cut. The waitress was very good. I would give it a try if you havent been there.
Had a great reunion with the girls next door . We had a great waitress who even took pictures for us. The food was delicious and the service was great!
A must stop for lunch. Look around at the history. Enjoy … a little if everything. Thanks for the dogs, bbq, and incredible sides. BrianHuey.com
They have breakfast and its good! A little cold inside restaurant during winter, especially bathroom.
You must try the Michigan! Even if you dont love it, its still gonna be worth it trust me (also, why wouldnt you love it?). The waitress was so nice, we were traveling from Montréal to NYC and we felt right at home in this joint! Highly recommend
Excellent service, thanks Chelsea! - and great food. Perfect place for a coach to take his team after a competition!
The place reminded me of back then movies, where the local kids would go to get shakes, very cute and comfortable. Absolutely loved, loved LOVED the service here! And great food! It really hit the spot when I found out the mashed potatoes are HOMEMADE! And, if you visit... Have one of their Maple shakes, they are to die for! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice hot meal and amazing customer service! Keep up the great work, guys!
The place was clean and staff was very friendly!! It was over a hour on or food to arrive. Yes a cook walked out on them and that’s understandable for the wait. But we were not impressed with the food.
Great breakfast, stupendous wait staff, excellent cooks... All recipes for a great restaurant! Covid didnt stop this place! And we are happy for that!!
Good food great service. Thank you Chatty Cathy for giving my father a hard time it was fun.
Delicious food!
Ive been eating here since the early 1980s when I was a little guy. I live in New Jersey now and I will still drive up here to get Michigans. The food is fantastic! A New England institution! If they sold the sauce over the internet, I would buy it weekly. Last time I was up there, I bought an entire cooler full of pints and gave them out to the family as gifts. Seriously, give it a try. Its a piece of local history.
Super breakfast at a reasonable price. Ordered 2 over easy with has browns. Eggs were cooked to perfection served with 2 hash brown pattiesAlso wanted to try the world famous red hot. Coney sauce had a nice bite to it. Hot dog and bun were mediocre
The staff is always friendly and attentive to your needs. The food is very good and reasonably priced. It creates a small town feel to an ever growing community. This is exactly the type of restaurant that I hope never disappears from America. I rate it a 10 plus for the atmosphere, look and charm of American Dining.
Friendly and efficient waitress and a really great breakfast. Coffee was bitter but thats typical for diners. They are rightfully famous for their Michigans and they are truly excellent. Our waitress really took good care of us. The food was hot and good.
. When I asked if our small baby and I could eat outside because of COVID, the woman scoffed at me said no and turned away. I walked outside and theres literally someone eating outside. So rude. Wound NOT recommend.
The Steele family shouldve stole the Michigan sauce recipe because their sauce sucks. Tried to get 1 without onions but its impossible because the onions are in the sauce.
Good food, staff was a little slow, but the place was packed!
Awesome diner and service! Its the second time we get the same waitress named Alex, and she was fantastic from beginning to end. The food was delicious and the milkshake was to die for! Definitely a pleasant meal and we will be coming back each time we hit the U.S.
Great old time restaurant with great service. The servers were very friendly and helpful and quick to make suggestions. I usually have a Michigan dog, which is a hot dog with a meat chilli sauce. It is always fresh and quick and delicious.
Decor was inviting and warm. Lots of neat pictures and license plates from all states. Service was with a smile and friendly. Our waitress forgot my soup as an appetizer. But in the end the soup was a delicious tomato.The sirloin special with gravy was also very good and homemade. It could be hotter ad mine was warm . Deffinantely will return.
Pleasantly surprised. Ive driven by so many times when visiting Plattsburgh, but never had the time to stop in. Im so glad I finally did! Wonderful menu with great variety. The Michigan was excellent as well as the wings, patty melt, and philly cheese steak. Staff was friendly and Gus has a warm atmosphere. Perfect place for good food at a reasonable price. Will be going back often.👍
Staff was all nice ..got take out for 3 of us it was delicious 😋... not bad price either will go back ..excellent Michigans
Great food. Great service. Friendly staff. Looks 100% better. Love the place.
Its a family tradition. We love Gus we make sure to come at least once while we visit our boys
Best Food! Best Service! Affordable Prices! I love the homey atmosphere here! The staff and chef is ALWAYS friendly. Found this place by accident and have been going back ever since. I would recommend this place to anyone that asks! LOVE IT!
Cheap, quick, just off the ferry if youve come over from Vermont. I thought it was cool that they serve perch from Lake Champlain. Nothing that exciting in terms of quality or freshness of ingredients - its a diner and they serve diner food. Im a little spoiled by some of the options we have on the VT side of the lake, but I also think there is a place for cheap diner fare and I see no reason to deduct them any points as a result. If youre looking to spend very little and get in and out in a hurry, this is a great option - if youre looking for a memorable meal that will keep you coming back, you need to do a better job managing your own expectations.
If youre in the mood for a classic diner, definitely stop into Gus. We had stopped in on the way to upstate NY and loved that the decor included local history and old timey photos of the area throughout the last century.Our waitress, Abby, was wonderful. She was attentive and let us know about price breaks via the specials for the morning. Also, if you ask any of the local diners about different activities to do locally, theyll give you the inside scoop! Next time were in the area, were coming back!
Whent to the snack shack and we tried the gusanator and poutine absolutely amazing food was good the staff friendly and fast prices are average camt wait for another quick bite
We had the famous Red Hots * hotdogs* .. surprisingly delicious .. I never had those before!.. clean and wonderful service ❤
Ive been there 2x now. Both times it was clean, the staff were pleasant and the food was delicious.
$17.25 for 2 hotdogs, tiny thing of fries, soda and tip is a bit . Tasted ok but they were ice cold.
We ordered perch and French fry and they were over cooked and hard. I thought it was pricey at $12.95 a plate and the fountain soda at almost $3.00 a glass. The waitress did not come back to see if we wanted refills for our sodas and never came back to ask us how our food was until we were done. The place could be cleaner my arm stuck to the table while I was eating and my Mom had to scrape off a French fry that was stuck to her foot.
New ownership remodeled . See new snack stop on side. Lots of outdoor seating. Good location. Yummy food. Friendly staff. Delish Sweet potato fries. Right off hwy exit 39
Diner-style with authentic history dating back to the late 1940s. Worth the stop! More than just a red hot hot dog restaurant. Eat in, take out! Convenient to ferry and state park. The Michigan dogs are the best Ive ever had! Highly recommended!!!:(but not for those on a diet! LOL!
The fish & chips was overcooked. The menu said I would be eating haddock. I got tilapia instead. The waitress is either new or has a short attention span. I asked for black tea. I got green tea. I didnt finish me meal because it was so poorly cooked and I didnt get what I ordered. Still had to pay for that disgusting food. We wont be back.
Bison burger tasted like it came outta someones a**. Horrible!!!! Fries overcooked. Burgers supposed to be rare but were well done. Server didnt bother w/us till it was time to pay; not friendly at all. Not coming back
The very first notice is the fresh air inside this diner/ restaurant. No putrid grease nor industrial clean odor. The staff are hometown nice folks. The breakfast is like home. Thanks for making the EAT decision welcomed.
Good food at decent pricing. Had to wait a while for food but thats common today.
Went for perch fry. Cook told us he just served the last couple orders. We had a nice chat. Theres more local perch on the way. Fried chicken dinner and Reuben burger worked out just fine. Like my burger rare and fries extra crispy. He nailed it! We will be back. Plattsburgh landmark not to be missed. Their Michigans rock.
Great food excellent service. Super clean
If I could give less then one star, I definitely would. 3 of us went there for lunch today. Took 10 minutes to get my cup of decaf, coworker ordered reg, did not get here’s. She was told the other server had taken off with the pot (there were 2 others sitting there.). I ordered the hot turkey w/mashed potatoes. When it was brought over with the Michigan fries another coworker had ordered, we asked for coffee refills. The server rolled her eyes at us and tossed the other plate on the table, so that it landed on mine... my potatoes were cold and the rest barely warm. When I said something about it. I was told she could put it in the microwave (if I wanted a microwave dinner, I would have had a TV dinner). Then they bring the other order of a Rubin sandwich, which was ordered with NO sourcrout (spelled wrong), it arrives smothered in it. This lousy meal for the tune of $50.00. We will never go back to eat there again, and advise others to eat elsewhere 😡
Clean diner in the middle of nowhere. I stumbled across this place when I crossed the border, retuning to the United States from Canada. Nothing like a good diner breakfast to welcome you home from a trip up north. I enjoyed their triple 2 plate (2 eggs, 2 pancakes, and 2 pieces of ham)
Heading to Gus on the way home from a roadtrip across the border has been a traditon thats been around for almost as long as the establishment has been open.Dont let the area or its outside appearance fool you, the inside is clean and the staff has always been inviting and friendly with the orders always coming quickly.Theres not much in the way of a true diner like Gus around my current local so I definitely appreciate and enjoy the atmosphere of Gus though some may find it a little dated.The food isnt anything too spectacular but is definitely tasty, enjoyable diner and comfort food favourites. The red hot michigans are my go-tos but everything Ive seen come out of the kitchen has always looked appetizing.Gus definitely is re-inventing the wheel in any way but its been using the same wheel it started with, so-to-speak, and it definitely isnt broken so theres no need to fix it.
The waitress was disrespectful and very bad at her job messed are order up and didnt check on us to see if everything was ok and we had to go wait ten minutes for are check at the counter well they found her and she filled out the check worse service Ive received in years
Had a tasty Michigan dog and a regular hot dog with kraut and mustard, was really tasty and the potato salad was really delicious and fresh. Looking forward to my next visit.
Saw their sign on the side of the road while driving back to New York from Montreal... I figured any place called GUS Red Hots has got to be good, and they definitely are!Take a pit stop here--they wont let you down! GUS has been here for since 1949.... and that says everything.
Place is an absolute trash heap. Mold covers many areas in the kitchen. Food isnt prepared to health department standards. If you complain the owners berate and belittle you and will kick you out. The perch is defrosted in the same sink as the kitchen hoods are degreased in. How people dont get food poisoning from there is beyond me, will never eat there again. Would suggest people avoid it at all costs
The fries were cold along with the hot dog that was on my Michigan not to mention very exspensive
Not much in the menu for people who cant eat bread, pasta, potatoes. It waitress was happy to make substitutions for me which these days is becoming rare. Nice people, friendly atmosphere
Awesome place with really good food. Is sometimes crowded but you still get your food fast. I really recommend their Michigan red hots (Im pretty sure thats what theyre called).
Service was good / food was good. 4 people cost a little over $50
Hands down the best Michigans in Plattsburgh. They have a Michigan platter with two dogs and an order of fries which is awesome but they changed theirs fries. Their old fries were awesome. They were the battered fries.
The atmosphere was satisfactory. The waitress was very nice and helpful. The food was very average to below par. Small skimpy sandwich and the Fish Fry was less than satisfactory.
One of my favorite restaurants for breakfast food and Michigans which arent too spicy. Waitresses here are very nice, and the food is great. Takeout and eating in are both available.
The waitress was absolutely wonderful. The food was so good. I enjoyed it very much. Im from New York and I was so Happy with the serviceTry it you will love it!! Gus red Hots Ill be back
Went there in a quest looking for the best Michigans in the country, as we read on the internet, and I have to say that they are pretty good, maybe the best I tried at this date.Old decor and setup. Good service and they were really nice with the kids.
Gus is an indelible part of growing up in the north country.This is an old timey diner with a clean and cheerful atmosphere. The food is simple and inexpensive.Visitors should not miss the chance to order a couple Red Hots as this is one of the few places they can be had.
Awesome food of all kinds from liver to Beautiful baked goods Breakfast to Dinner❤❤❤❤❤🍰🍩🦐🍤🍳🥓🥩🍗🍔🍟
Very friendly atmosphere...basically old time michigan joint. Food is very delicicious in a guilt evoking kind of way. The restaurant clean...service was awesome..everyone was super friendly ..and cant beat the prices.
Really great food,SO many options. Theres something for everyone here and the prices are great too. Super clean, friendly and enjoyable staff.Would definitely recommend and return.
Initial service a little slow, once they got taking my order food was great.
Very disappointing everytime you come they are temporarily closed. Website says open Mon - Sun 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. It is Monday at 12:08 they are closed with a sign new hours 7:00 - 4:00, closed on Monday. If hours keep changing and your temporarily closed, customers will stop coming.
Showed up at 7pm to eat dinner here. Other people were still dining inside the restaurant and the sign outside said closes at 8 but I was refused service at the door because it wasnt busy enough. Guess they dont want business.
Love this restaurant! We go once a week and the service is always good! And food is always good! What I like its the same staff and very pleasant
Historic spot for great Michigans. Get your Red Hots and chase em down with a ice cream milkshake! Full menue for those who may want something other than a Red Hot.
Great breakfast sausage, with a huge slab of Boston cream pie
Food was amazing staff as well. Thank you Alex you were a amazing waitress
Food is good Customer service is terrible.... Pretty sad when the Manager calls you a liar and then hangs up because of their mistake.So you know the results of how they handle complaints now when you are 300 miles away.So let me tell you what happened I went in and ordered 12 Michigans I needed 4 put together ready to eat and 8 deconstructed along with an extra jar of sauce.I left the counter not checking out the order...The waitress said youre all set babe I went out folded bag top and put it in 2 Ziploc bags so it wouldnt get mushy in cooler....So I get home to find out I was short 6 Michigans deconstructed and no onions..... I even put a tip on the bill why I dont know now.... And to boot there was an employee chiming in and laughing during my conversation with the Manager...Pretty sad when I loved that place and had great memories....
Great food and friendly service. A winning combination! 👍👍
Good food. Great service. Very clean.
Great meal and great service
First time there. I LOVED the ambiance. The staff was very friendly, and the food was fantastic. A great stop again next time I cross the border.
The service was okay, pretty slow despite the place not being too busy at lunch. Had the Michigans maybe I dont have the taste for it, being an out-of-towner, but they were just okay.
Great place for family eating. The familys go to destination when we cant decide what type of food everyone wants. Prices are really good.
The cook was very rude to me and my family we go there as regulars and we only brought so much with us so we didnt spend alot so we was short 6 cents and the chef stopped us on our way out and said if we cant cover the whole check to never come back we definatly can afford it but bc of that he lost our money
An oldie but definitely a goodie!! Clean, updated and friendly wait staff and terrific cooks. They have given the inside a facelift without loosing the vintage dinner vibe.
Definitely not the same, the food was great when I used to go there from 1995 until 2007 now not so much
I have seen more food served in a soup kitchen. Big spending for very little food. I could have gone to the store and bought the same thing for less and ate more. Not even half a star is the rating I give this place.
Staff is awesome, place looks completely redone, foods on point, one hell of a hidden gem
Great food and friendly service. Really link their honey stung chicken. Very sad they took diet Mountain Dew off of the fountain
This place is great. Authentic Diner experience with great food and friendly service. Fun Chit Chat amongst the locals too :-) Definitely worth the stop!!!
Best restaurant! Chicken wings are the best in town and their milk shakes are thick and creamy. Services is delightful and restaurant is always clean!
Always delicious. Very friendly wait staff.
Very good breakfast for the price. Place needs to be refreshed, but its not a downer. Good service too.
I used to like to go to guss but after my last experience I will never go back. My wife and I went to Guss for a sandwich and drinks soda one each we ordered on turkey club sandwich two soda drinks the bill was 18.60 with tip yes you guessed it 20.00 for one club sandwich and two drinks.
GREAT BREAKFAST - 2 poached eggs on the BEST corned beef hash.. delicious home fried potatoes and GREAT SERVICE.
Yes there is competition for the michigan in Plattsburgh, even just down Rt 9. However Gus is still my favorite. Its longevity makes it a local land mark and of course they have very good michigans.
Best breakfast we have had on this 2 week vacation. Perfect eggs and bacon. French toast is delicious. Friendly staff.
Great spot to grab a bite. Good cup of Joe and a sandwich.
Home of Gus Red Hots- A stop yesterday did not disappoint. Wish I had purchased some of the sauce.
Love that the last two times when I ordered perch dinner they let me substitute vegetable of the day for Cole slaw, and they were frozen vegetables, not canned! Yummy!
Great Michigans and fresh hot fries. Couldnt ask for more.
Stopped here specifically to try out Guss red hots. They did not disappoint.
My go to breakfast spot. Friendly staff and my food is always delicious. Why would you go any place else is beyond me.
This place is such a gem! On our way to a hike and stopped for breakfast. Super friendly staff and delish morning staples. Saving it to my map to visit there again very soon!
Just so lucky we decided to stop here on our road trip! Awesome experience. Food was awesome and service was great!
Food was really good and the service was great too! We got our food quick also!
Great food and nice people.I WILL BE BACK

As of september 2021, the place has changed owners, the new ones are dedicated to make it a come back place... good and friendly staff, good menu, good food...
Friendly, homey atmosphere. Relatively quiet with simple but tasty food. Similar to a diner with many selections. Very affordable.
Mom and I stopped in to have lunch on our way home from Vermont food was delicious as always but wait staff was horrible they treated their regulars great but not others our waitress never stopped by to see how we were I had to ask for a refill as she came to drop the check on the tabke and she rolled her eyes as if it killed her I will not be returning SMH!!!!
Slow service, less than even good Food. And extremely over priced. We will not go back. This was our second try. Still disappointed.
Gus was and is always our favorite restaurant. We are glad that its reopened
Been coming here for 50+ years...Knew Gus, Maria, Pete and Estelle, Becca, Paula and Peter. Never disppointed. Best Michigans to this day!
Breakfast was good. Had a western omlet. It was pretty big and came with home fries. Not overly expensive.
Excellent! Great food, service, and fast.
Cute with tasty food, maybe not as generous of servings as some diners but good with quick, friendly service.
Amazing good, beautiful new deck space for outdoor seating.
Went there as a child and as an adult. Good food for a reasonable price. Started bring my fiancee there for dinner or lunch.

2021-12-26While traveling back to NY, we were passing by and decided to stop in for some Michigans because we cant get them anywhere else. My step-dad was telling me during this visit how he put the windows in while working for Adams Glass many years ago. It was a nice memory for him and we really enjoyed our meal.

2022-06-19Two local seniors and two out of town (Arizona) seniors dined for dinner. Was greeted immediately and seated at our choice of tables. Server was pleasant and taking our order reasonably fast and dinner was served without delays. All four meals were very good and the entire dining experience was great. Our quests from Arizona were very impressed with the whole atmosphere of the restaurant. Highly recommend dining here for the entire family.

2022-05-28Convenient location and overall nice spot. They are not allergy friendly if you have very bad food allergies but they try and be as accommodating as possible. They have a very large menu and the place itself is rather large. They have a take out window if you don’t want to go inside and they also have outdoor dining where you can bring your dog. The inside was relatively clean although the booth we sat at wasn’t the cleanest. The server was very nice and incredibly friendly. I ordered a fruit cup and it was a decent size but the kiwi came with the peel still on it. They had water bottles which was great. Everyone absolutely loved their food and it came out pretty quick. I would recommend this place just not specifically for gluten free/vegan options.

2022-05-20I finally visited Gus Red Hots on 5/20/22 for the first time. The waitress we had help and yet lacked that little bit you would expect, but she wasnt bad to say the least.As far as the food. My wife had tenders, fries, a salad and potato salad. I had French toast, scrambled eggs and sausage. When I tell you, Holy-moly! The food was fantastic. Minus the silverware wasnt properly cleaned, but the food made it all worth while. Im big on food and reviewing places. These minor things can be overlooked without a doubt! We will be back to try other dishes. Thank you to the staff and the cooks. Awesome job!

2022-05-08Nice place with new owners. Food was a little bland though, needs more salt and seasoning, but was hot. Didnt care for the Cole slaw either as it tasted wierd, but could just be my taste buds. Overall was ok. Ill have to try breakfast next and see how that tastes.
