"The burger at Gus’s is best when shared. The rich patty is made from a blend of pork, chuck, and dry-aged beef, then topped with caramelized onions, aged cheddar, cornichons, and dijonaise. At $22, the burger is a pretty standard deal these days as far as burger prices go. Did you know: This burger, once off-menu, was so popular it landed on the menu permanently." - Robert Sietsema
"Gus’s started as an approachable neighborhood steakhouse serving dishes that can border on enthralling, including hash browns with trout roe and chicken a la plancha; it has since transitioned to a menu that includes pasta. There’s also a 4 to 6 p.m. happy hour Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday listing a burger and fries for $20, pasta for $!5, and glasses of wine for $12." - Robert Sietsema
"This buzzy chophouse has quickly found footing and favor in Carroll Gardens. Far from the stuffiness of typical steakhouses, the candlelit dining room has its charms, and neighbors are sure to crowd around the bar and order the burger. The kitchen gives a Southern twist to a plate of chicken liver mousse served alongside cornichons and a pile of golden-fried sardines. House-made pastas are spot-on, as in the pappardelle with shredded pork ragu topped with coarse ground fennel or savor the charred cobia collars served over a delicious crab butter. All the while, wine enthusiasts will find plenty to dig into on this finely curated list stacked with star producers from around the world." - Michelin Inspector

"Since the split between former partners, Chris McDade has been repositioning Gus’s Chop House in Carroll Gardens to meet neighborhood needs, including shedding 'chop house' from the name, keeping the burger while adding additional pastas as a nod to his time with Popina, relaxing the decor, and running a Monday–Thursday $56 per person family-style deal that includes an appetizer, main, and dessert." - Emma Orlow
