★★★★★ 5.0 Liberty Avila · Jan 2026

Went here for lunch, was quickly seated without reservation. Plenty of parking too. I ordered to-go corn bread from here before, I did not enjoy it that much. Having it dine in is a different story, it is 100x so much better! Probably is my new favorite corn bread go-to spot. We ordered a couple of things, I particularly enjoyed the creamed corn as a side, it is on the sweeter side almost like a dessert. The bbqs are good, I really like the brisket and the fried chicken. Country fried steak is okay, kinda dry. There was a little incident where the tie of the collard greens was in the collard greens, the server/manager was quick to respond to replace the collard greens, we ended up not eating it anyway.

I’ve tried the location in Pasadena and loved it. This location is even nicer aesthetically with a very cool laid-back vibe. The food is very good just like in Pasadena. Although, I will say the brisket in Pasadena is better. Service is great. Ryan was amazing and very accommodating.

Tried the BBQ plate at Gus’s in Porter Ranch and it delivered a solid mix of flavors. The brisket is tender with a nice smoke ring and just enough sauce to keep it juicy. The pulled pork is soft and easy to shred, while the ribs have a good char and a sweet, smoky finish. The sides are well done too. The potato salad is creamy and flavorful, and the coleslaw adds a fresh crunch to balance the heavier meats. Cold beers served fast, which helps with the overall pace of the meal. A reliable spot if you’re in the area and want a hearty, well-executed BBQ dinner.

Had a wonderful time meeting friends for lunch on the weekend. The service was exceptional, the food was delicious. I decided to try a burger and went for Gus’s. This was my first time here, but definitely not the last. Be sure to try the cornbread, amazing.
