Gus's Franklin Park - Harrison

The food and staff are excellent, and it’s a great place for kids too. I absolutely love this restaurant and can’t wait to visit again soon!

The clams casino were fantastic, while the crab cakes were just okay—not quite up to Maryland standards. The blackened swordfish was fresh but surprisingly lacked seasoning, considering it’s supposed to be a blackened dish, and it was sliced a bit too thin. Nevertheless, it was still enjoyable. Our only disappointing moment came when we requested a booth because we had an elderly guest with a cane. The hostess refused our request, despite several empty booths available, and her tone was dismissive. This is simply unacceptable. Given the number of older patrons dining there, I believe she could benefit from training on how to cater to their needs, and she should definitely work on her attitude. On the whole, though, the rest of the service was excellent. If you're in the mood for a classic fish dinner with vegetables and a starch in a tavern-like setting, Gus's hits the mark. It’s unfortunate that the hostess’s demeanor left a negative impression.

The menu was packed with tempting options, making it difficult for us to choose! We were treated to complimentary bread, which was replenished upon request, along with some delicious fresh coleslaw that could stand on its own! To start, we tried the clam chowder, available in both New England and Manhattan styles. Both were flavorful and thick, leaving us satisfied. For our main dishes, we opted for salads topped with grilled chicken and grilled shrimp. Once again, they were well-prepared, seasoned to perfection, and generously portioned. Although we were quite full, we couldn’t resist dessert. The rice pudding and a slice of Key Lime Pie were just what we needed to finish off our meal! We will definitely be returning to Gus's in the future!

Service is atrocious , the food was cold and greasy. This place used to be good ! Been coming here since I was a kid, now I'm 55 and I will never go back again. Save your money and time

Love this place. Growing up in Massachusetts-we had places like this all over but had never found something similar around Westchester. That is until I was pleasantly surprised to be introduced to this place by my in-laws. Great seafood (including lots of types of fish i got back in New England but do not see as often around here, like Boston scrod), delicious desserts (highly recommend the pecan pie) and reasonable prices with a laid back vibe, make this a great local staple. The service is also top notch. Don't miss this spot!
