It was a real delight to finally find this restaurant after we Googled soul food restaurants in the area, especially those that serve chicken with waffles. When we arrived, the spacious and lovely setting, the tranquil atmosphere, the efficient service, the warm ambience and the patient servers really overwhelmed us. The love of my life and I really enjoyed our experience at Gussie's, because in addition to all of these other factors, the food was tasty, well seasoned, well prepared and very substantial. Even the music was wonderful, a constant soulful collection of rhythmic r & b treats that served as a pleasant accompaniment to the huge breakfast we ordered. We both were stuffed but couldn't stop eating until we cleared our plates. The chicken was crispy on the outside, but meaty and tender on the inside, with great attention to details on how we each wanted our eggs, waffles and hot chocolate done. It is the perfect place, both romantic yet comfortable, and well patronized by the many who entered while we were dining. We highly recommend this restaurant.
