Lil Gus's - Grottoes

First time eating at Lil' Guss today. Very good food...friendly staff..and the owner actually came to our table and talked to us... Five Stars

I had the hot dog combo special it was excellent. the name of the waitress was winter and she was very sweet and a deceptive and always to check to make sure everything was good that I felt my glass when it was low.

After 50 years of eating Jesse's Quick Lunch dogs, I feel I am well qualified to review my first visit to Little Gus's just last week. I had looked at the photos online and one of the pics posted, showed a dog in a soft bun, smothered in chili (grease on the serving paper from the chili)...sadly nothing close to what my sister and I were served. We both ordered two with everything, requesting the mustard and ketchup bottle be placed on our table. As I was sitting in the bar, we sat inside, I could not smell the chili. I should have been able to smell the dogs/chili when I opened my car door! ? When we got our hot dogs with everything, mustard/onions/chili, I knew this what not a Jesse's dog. The buns were not steamed, in fact they were large, not fresh, and therefore nearly dry. There was very little chili on the dog, nothing like the pic I had seen online. The chili was the correct recipe, but was also dry with little or no grease. Lastly, once I bit into the dog, it seem boiled and not fried on a flat grill. It was very disappointing? If you want to attempt to serve a dog worthy of the name Gus Flores 1- Steam fresh buns 2- Whatever makes the chili greasy, add more and do NOT skim it off the top. 3- Cook/grill your dogs on a flat grill till well done. It wouldn't hurt to have one or two sets of mustard and ketchup bottles, instead of small, plastic, to go-like containers. Sadly, I cannot recommend this place for hotdogs until they buy a bread steamer.

Great little place. Bar type atmosphere with an actual restaurant twist. Great food Great service, awesome stop for lunch

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was fantastic, the service was top-notch, and the small town atmosphere was outstanding. I would highly recommend dining here. Rating: Food 5/5, Service 5/5, Atmosphere 5/5.
