We finally found a great BBQ restaurant! Gus's in South Pasadena deserves the Zagat rating it received. On July 4th, 2009 we went to Gus's before going to the Rose Bowl for the Fireworks. We've tried several BBQ places in the 5 years we've lived in the San Gabriel Valley, and have been disappointed in each. But not with Gus's. ...

My wife and I first ate at Gus's a few years back, when it was under the old ownership. The food was delicious and the service was warm, friendly, and welcoming. One of the first things we noticed was the large number of senior citizens eating there, which for me is a good indication of the quality of the restaurant. Well, we went there for ...

Best BBQ in the Pasadena area. It once offered dismal food (see the low rating from "callmedubbaya" in 2007), but with the redesign and relaunch, they are a great restaurant. Great brisket, great pulled pork, and great ribs, along with very good sides. They also have the only full bar I am aware of in South Pasadena. Try it. It rocks.

After a new look and new menu I would have to say how pleased I was. I had the pulled pork meal. Moist and very tasty. They have a large varity of sides, the corn bread is very unique and the portions are enough to split with another person which makes it very appealing to the wallet. I would highly reccomend. The employee's were very attentive and friendly.
