Since 1946, Gus’s has been serving the good folks of South Pasadena (and beyond!) true Southern hospitality and some of the best real pit BBQ around. Housed on historic Route 66, Gus’s is a tribute to Southern life, where family, tradition and celebration are of the utmost importance. A menu filled with traditional Southern cooking is complemented by an impressive range of whiskies, wines, cocktails and local craft beers. Today, Gus’s is a space for a warm welcome, a cold mint julep, and a big plate of the best flavors from the American South and Midwest.Since 1946, Gus’s has been serving the good folks of South Pasadena (and beyond!) true Southern hospitality and some of the best real pit BBQ around.

The decor inside is kind of pedestrian for a BBQ joint, but this place does a great job at catering. We recently went to a party at a friend's house and they catered Gus's pulled-pork, mac-n-cheese, chicken fingers (for the kids), grits and cornbread, all of it really delicious!

One of favorite BBQ places. They didn't used to be very good, but I think new owners took over a few years ago ( same owners as Top's), the food became awesome. I love the Southern Fried chicken and pulled pork nachos! Prices are reasonable for BBQ and portions huge! Also have a full bar and huge drink selection.

Great comfort food for lunch and brunch. Hard to find great BBQ on the west coast, so was excited to experience this- did not disappoint.

Good family-style restaurant with decent 'que, good sides, and strong drinks.

I made the reservation through YP.com and then arrived for a nice dinner. The iceberg wedge was delish. We split a mac and cheese - with bacon. OMG I don't want to know how many calories is in that! Then onto the BBQ pork ribs - yummy. I had the sangria which was tasty tasty. Service was nice as well. Nice neighborhood place. Cool pics of South Pasadena on the walls.

If you are down for a delicious rack of ribs, a fat juicy burger, or some fried chicken the size of your head, go check out Gus's. This place is the best BBQ in the area, by far. It's just a matter of days before Barn Burner up the street goes down the toilet, and that is not a bad thing.
