| - I work just down the street from Gus's and we were very excited to try them out for the first time after they opened. The menu is on a blackboard in the back, which is fun. It seems they are still working out exactly what the more permanent menu will be, so they're using the chalkboard to try things out before they get official menus printed.
The food was fantastic, and not what you would expect from a gluten free restaurant. I had the Kale & Garlic crepe and it was filling and very, very tasty. I also tried their fried pickles which were absolutely spot-on. The batter was crispy and perfectly fried, and the pickle was great as well. Again, surprisingly good for gluten free. I also like that they have a number of vegan items on the menu, because I know vegan/gluten free is a really tough market to find food in, and this really hits a great niche market that needed good food.
One thing I saw on the menu that I liked is they offer one of their soups on a "pay what you want" scale, with everything over $4 going to a different charity each month. Very cool concept.
At the moment they are cash-only, which I think could end up being a difficulty. But they're open in L'ville on Mondays which is a really big bonus. I am really glad these guys opened and plan on going back again in the future. I'll update as they get on their feet. I did hear they aren't planning the official "grand opening" until closer to spring, and that right now they're trying a soft open just to test things out and see how a gluten free menu will go over. I think they'll be great once they get the little kinks worked out.
