This family-run-since-1946 establishment was purchased in 2007 by another Pasadena restaurant family, the folks behind the Original Tops. The new owners are wholly respectful of Gus’ history: While the interior was gutted and spiffed up with modern touches, the original neon sign with running chickens and piggies still graces the historic red brick façade. The food has changed with the addition of a rotisserie and two smokers—indeed, there’s even greater focus on barbecue. All the classics are here, including pulled pork, brisket, baby back ribs and—scream it out—ice cream sundaes!
