Loved the old school steakhouse feel for the place. Was greated by a lovely older gentleman, taken to my table and had a kind subtle chat.The server was right behind him with this wonderful fondue and fresh bread for starters. My steak was as ordered and still juicy and fresh.My only downside was the side of pasta was a bit chilly.

We ordered from here based on the good reviews. My mistake…Everything tasted terrible. Chicken is rubbery in my chicken piccata. My husband’s prime rib was grizzly, tough, and could barely cut through with a knife. The New England clam chowder was horrible. It wasn’t even filled halfway in the cup… I couldn’t even eat it. The calamari was rubbery, not even fried. DISGUSTING. Do not make the mistake of eating here.

Lovely place to stumble on. The service was prompt and attentive and the bread with cheese fondue and butter to start was great. The guys had the prime rib and were extremely happy. I had a chicken dish and the mash potatoes and veggies were delicious, but the chicken was sub-par in my book. Overall still very tasty.

Service was truly superb and above average! We didnt have a reservation, but the staff made every effort to get us seated within just 10 or so minutes. Throughout the evening our server was helpful and friendly even in a very crowded restaurant. While slightly run-down (the seats in our booth were sunken in, which made the table a bit uncomfortable), it was our food that was unfortunately below average. It lacked taste and a quality component; on the same par as Dennys, not a steak-house like we were anticipating. The cheese fondue was a great signature dish but tasted more like melted Velveeta (they would do better serving an fonina or gruyete based fondue instead).

So glad that I finally got to eat here. My Mom took for my Birthday and we got the Early Bird 2 Dinners for $26.95 special. It comes with Cheese Fondue and Bread, soup or salad, country, and dessert too. It was all so good. I especially love the cheese fondue and bread. Our waitress was awesome and I even got to meet Gus. I will be back for sure.

My wife and I went to Guss for our 21st wedding anniversary tonight. The food was great and the service was amazing. Proud to be able to support a business like this that has been doing it for over 40 years. That is how you know they are doing it right.

Guss Steakhouse is one of my favorite places to dine while in Sonora. The portions are plentiful and the food is absolutely delicious. The staff is ultra nice and friendly as always. We had a large party, so seating took a while, but the wait in the bar was fun and relaxing. And yes, Gus was there! The Rib eye was fabulous!

Calamari hand cut, battered a fried FRESH. Excellent liver and onions. Perfectly cooked rack of lamb. The wait staff was very friendly and fun. And, she is from a gold mining family active in the area. This is a must stop for locals, skiers and hikers. Ask for Kelly.

Surpassed expectations. I was expecting dinner bread is walked in and saw the atmosphere but it comes with a surprise. Fondue!! Hot, melted cheese, served in a small sauce pan thats placed above a candle which acts as somewhat of a centerpiece for your table.That was a brilliant touch. Very good too. Sourdough bread is enjoyable. Hard crust but thats typical and sometimes desirable.Service was pretty standard. No complaints. Ventilation of a room isnt something I often mentioning but air conditioning blows from the floor up. If youre sitting at a table on the edge, you might get cold air blowing your arms or legs. Funny stuff.Anyway, the food was all very good. Meats were delicious and not overcooked. Tender. Soup was very tasty. Prices totally right for what youre getting. Good quality and portions. They also offer freshly cracked pepper for your salads. Do it!

Great food excellent service! My children highly recommended Gus’ Our waitress was Lupe and she was friendly, very relaxed and it showed by her actions that she enjoyed her job, was attentive and knew how to provide exceptional service. The bread and fondue was a huge surprise. I had a Caesar salad and it was delicious.

2nd time Ive been here, but my first time was back in 2011. I regret not coming more often!! The food is absolutely amazing, theres a darn good reason why its the best steakhouse in the area, by a long shot! I had the sirloin special, and it was literally melt in your mouth. Ive had filets that required more chew, this was perfect! The mushrooms and special seasoning is a perfect topper. The veggies were perfectly cooked and seasoned. My wife had their fish and chips, and yall, this is no joke, better than fish and chips weve gotten in San Francisco! Fish was nice and juicy, cooked perfectly and not soggy or fall-apart when you go to pick it up. The fries are nice and thick, have a great crispy outer, but fluffy inside. The tartar sauce was magnificent, a great balance of flavors, combine that with some malt vinegar and you find that fish and chips can be gourmet! And to top it all, the cheese fondue and Sourdough bread is a perfect start to the meal! The bread has a nice sourdough tang, a great crispy crust, and a very soft and fluffy insides. Definitely not some store bought, Id wager they have a deal with a local baker. The restaurant was very clean, well set up, and not over the top at all. The staff super friendly, Gus greeted us and showed us to our seats, which was neat, you dont see that very often. The ONLY downside, the table in the booths can be a touch big, I had to squeeze a little to get in, but Im also not a bean pole, and it was a very very minor inconvenience. I highly recommend Guss if your looking for a GREAT meal, a great place to take a date, and dont mind leaving beyond stuffed!

Great service and food. Love the Fondue and bread. We allhad steaks and they were healthy portions cooked the way we ordered them. The only reason i didnt give it a 5 for aatmosphere is because it is very loud aand crowded. You sit very close to other parties and its very hard to hear your own party. So not good for table conversation or catching up, but great for food and service.

Great old school steakhouse. The minute we entered the dining room we could smell the prime rib; it lived up to the delicious aroma. Fettuccine with shrimp had a full dozen shrimp. And oh yeah....pot of melty cheese and a basket of soft, hot sourdough to dip in it on the table, included! Our server Chanel was amazing.

I think the food is okay - my wife thinks it GREAT. You sure cannot beat the price. Go for the early bird special - two dinners and they just raised the price to 22 bucks. That includes soup or salad and desert. Yep. And happy hour is at the same time. So, you can have a pop for cheap, too. Oh, and its Guss, which is my nickname. Hes always there, with his sons, and making sure everything is going smooth. Before you even order .. theres fresh made bread and cheese fondue (endless by the way) that is brought out to your table. What do I eat? Well, Ive had nearly everything on the menu. Its all good. Not great, but good. And comfort food. Last time I had the shrimp linguine. Wife had the chicken Parmesan, Kevin had the lamb, I think and Patty M had the other fish dish. It was too much to finish, but, I DID save room for desert. Sodas and Tea are also endless. But, youll like the cocktails, too. Just have a designated driver, which, was me this time. Dang it. Well. Someones gotta do it. Okay .. Enjoy Guss .. and .. tell him Gus sent ya. hahhahahaThere again last night! 22 bucks and a beer. Great place to dine and enjoy company! Even when you just left Yosemite!I am 6-2, 230 pounds with a 34 waist .. the food filled me up to the brim!

This is truly a gold nugget of the Sierras. Gus met us at the door And showed us to the bar. The bartender was very friendly and made good suggestions. When we did get to the table, our order was taken quickly. They brought us bread and fondue. When the meal arrived, I communicate to my wife. The portions are Very big, I had the veal parmesan, it would have fed 2 people. As well as the veal parmesan, I had a huge portion of of pasta, My wife had the shrimp Alfredo, again it could have fed 2 people. and they kept the bread coming. As well as fondue. Our waitress, Babet, was very attentive to all our needs. I would highly recommend Guss steakhouse.

Gus is a fantastic steakhouse. One of the only places Ive ever been that Ive never been disappointed. The sides could be a little better but you get two or three with your meal so even if one thing is just okay the rest is always spectacular. They cook steaks correctly. Lots of cuts to choose from. They have a separate bar area if thats your preference. Outdoor seating in the summer. The dining area is not large but they have designed it in a way that you arent staring at people or eating side by side with strangers, no little kid from the next table messing with you. I would recommend calling ahead as one of the most popular restaurants it can get busy. Gus usually answers and will make a reservation or let you know how busy it is. Nice large leather booths, fast friendly service, classical lounge music, nice steak dinner and bartenders that know what they are doing. What more do you want from a nice dining experience?

So we were seated at 6:46pm and they decided to take our order at 7:20pm and served at 7:56pm. As 2 entire families were seated, order taken and served before we even saw our appetizer salads! We were ignored, and anytime we asked for anything the server would walk away as soon as possible before finding out we needed other items. Meaning we would have to ask two different servers at least twice for the same items before we ever saw it. For example, sugars took two servers 20 mins to get for our drinks. We received our fondue relatively quickly but the server saw our candle was actually dead and useless and set it on the table and walked away, and we had to ask a different serve for a new candle because ours was too burnt to even be relit! We had to ask for silverware after being at the table for 45 mins, hoping we would eat sooner rather than later. My aunt is a diabetic, and requested the order be fairly soon for health reasons and they ignored that fact completely! She had to request 2 bowls of soup over the hour and 15 mins it took for them to serve us in order to keep her blood sugar in check. Four servers walked by approximately 12 times, looking at out table and deciding we werent worth checking on. As my husband went into the restroom, one of the workers used the bathroom and did NOT wash their hands. I couldnt even eat my dinner because I was disgusted. By the time we were able to leave and asking for our tab, we walked out at 8:45pm. A full 2 hours we were there when we would have been done a lot sooner. My appetizer salad was tiny, my husbands and sons clam chowder was luke warm. My shrimp Alfredo was bland and the shrimp overdone, my husbands burger, requested for medium well done, and while the middle was medium the edges were bloody and rare, explain that one to me! My Aunts food had to be sent back because the meat was such a terrible cut she couldnt eat it as a majority was gristle and fat after the server convinced her to get this cut of meat, after my aunt explained what she did not want or like. This was the most atrocious service I have ever encountered in any restaurant. No one should eat here, not just for the simple sake of indifference to their customers but for health reasons!

This place has been around a long time for very good reason. Affordable 3 coarse meals for 2. The steak is cooked to perfection. Juicy, tender, just the right amount of seasoning. The bread and fondue was a creamy, warm, and buttery welcome to my taste buds. Just the house salad alone was 5 star. The greens were fresh, I mean crispy fresh. Taste just picked and sun ripened from your backyard. The steamed vegetables were perfect. Not to hard and definately not over steamed. There is enough entrees you could eat here every night for two weeks and not eat the same meal. Gus you are definately what it takes, hospitality, and great food, to make a 5 star steak house. You are a landmark in the making.

We had a great meal at Guss! My wife and I wanted a fancy meal, so one of us got the rack of lamb, and the other got the half pound lobster tail. We split both, so we both had surf-n-turf. The north Atlantic lobster was the sweetest Ive had in more than 10 years. The lamb was seasoned perfectly too, and topped with a bit of minced garlic. All the side dishes were great, and the house cabernet was a good one. Our waitress made us feel very welcome. The restaurant is still the same 70s style, which is somehow comforting.

The wait last night was atrocious, standing room only in the lobby area, and I felt so bad for the overwhelmed bartender, but once we finally got a table we were pleased by the food and menu selection. We were nervous about going to Gus because wed heard mixed reviews.My fiance had prime rib (the horseradish was SUPER strong, he took a big bite and was coughing and sputtering for a few seconds, so beware, lol!) and I had chicken marsala. The potions were large and the sides werent bad, except the veggies (carrots and squash) were pretty much uncooked and slathered in almost-raw garlic. Not a deal breaker, but couldve been cooked longer for sure!We didnt expect fondue to come with the meal, which was a nice touch. It probably wouldve been even better had we gotten there in time for the early bird special, but I wonder how much worse the wait wouldve been during those hours.Try the minestrone soup with your meal; it was tasty.

Everyone was awesome. Very helpful and wanting to please. The fondue and the bread I could not stop eating. The Tri tip was seasoned perfect. Desert Peach bread pudding melted in my mouth. Thank you Gus and everyone working to night. You made our first time in Sonora Great. We will be back. Mike and Judy Schmidt

Bartender was awesome. Management/owner not the greatest. Food was ehhh. They were out of a lot of things... Every time a server would come to the bartender for drinks The bartender would have to tell them the next best option because none of the menu items were in stock. I wish I owned the place, it seems like it has a lot of potential.

Ive only been here once but really cant wait to go back. Unique, traditional experience. Excellent service. Excellent food. Great prices. Good drinks. The whole package and a great selection of menu. Just something you dont come by anymore. Rareity. I am tooting that horn. I dont even remember what I had I know Ill never forget the fondue and bread and tea though and the waitress she was just very kind. The place was busy and I was impressed. My friend knew Id love it cus I like to see good service places where they really hit above the bar. I cant wait to be back in fact Im going to make my bf take me soon. The owner was there reminded me of a place I used to work in OC except better, because Im saying that I wont say where I worked cus I loved that joint too and my boss but this guy Gus is obviously an OG

I have been going here since I was 5, my great grandfather was friends with Gus and Gus was so sweet to me as a child, made me feel like a had another grandpa. He doesnt recognize me now but is still so kind. I love this place so much, the food is always delicious and great quality. I only put 4 stars because their portions have seems to gotten smaller over the past few years. Other than that, staff is amazing and kind and there is no other place that Ive been to that compares to their environment.

Its where the locals go for a reliable comfortable dinning experience!Gus serves the BEST bread and cheese fondue, its a staple.All the meals have great portions and the early bird special makes it easy to eat out often. (Two, 3course meals for under 30.00 out the door)The dinning area is quiet and pleasant. We adore their high backed booths for privacy, intimate dining.There is a nice lounge off the side of the lobby so it has a quiet intimate feel as well with no carry over sound from the other room.Gus himself is always on site making sure everything is perfect. He has a full wait staff so you are already eating cheesy fondue moments within sitting down while they take the time to prepare the rest of your meal perfectly.Be prepared for delicious comfort food of creamy pasta, steak, seafoods. Its traditional steak house favorites and Mediterranean flair.Now they have an outdoor dinning area under a canopy of lights. Its quite the getaway from everyday dinner.Try Gus you wont be sorry you did!

Guss was so good tonight. Dino was the chef tonight and everything was so good. I had the lobster which was fantastic, my husband raved about the fish and chips, our other party members said the ribs were the best and the fried scallops were to die for. I would definitely recommend eating there. The fact that is Father and Son owned makes it very personal and family oriented, and the staff makes you fill like your at home with the best food ever.

Always a pleasure to eat at Guss. Went with my family of 4. My 9 year old daughter loves the cheese fondue. She also commented that her burger melted in her mouth. I am a little bitter, because it was the best burger she has ever had....... Even though I cook burgers all the time, lol. We will be customers of Gus for life.On a personal note, Gus is an extremely honorable man. He keeps a low profile, but I see what you do for the community. My hats off to Gus, a true entrepreneur.

What a wonderful little cozy warm and ideal couple restaurant to get away to!! Gotta love the vibe and staff here. Energetic. Knowledgeable and great fast friendly service!! Early bird dinner for 2 starting at 26.95 with salad or soup, and choice of side and dessert options!! Enjoyed the fried scallops with baked potato with the peach bread pudding for dessert 🤤🤤😋😋. Come by and grab an early bird seat with a cocktail or come and enjoy their variety of other delicious dinner entrees.

Took my 9-year-old daughter to Guss for the first time last night. After her entire fourth grade class and teacher talked about how Guss is the best for the cheese fondue. Gus took such good care of us and the kids. My daughter left with tears in her eyes for how special the dinner was and truly how nice Gus is. My 9 year old said I cant believe there are people as nice as Gus in this world. We will be back, sooner than later!

Nice place with a full bar. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. The staff was friendly and very prompt. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is due to it being so HOT inside of the building. Either the A/C was broken or turned off. I felt so bad for the workers. They were in black and sweating their butts off.

Food was so-so. Atmosphere was cramped and noisy. The wait was surprisingly long and the food was rushed--mostly served cold. The best part of this place was the servers--they tried to take care of every need--and the hot bread. Unfortunately, I followed local reviews... Not accurate. Sorry, Gus! McDonalds is better.

Great service, reasonable prices, good alcoholic drinks, cheese fondue with bread were complimentary with dinner. Gus, the owner, great guy, greeted us with a warm and friendly handshake. The restaurant is a family, local folks atmosphere. Great looking steaks. *** Do not order the early bird dinner. We ordered the tri tip, which was flavorful, but tough. The included salad or soup were good. The desserts that came with it were awful. The cold peach cobbler tasted like moist bread with canned peaches on top. The vanilla ice cream had a crust of ice on top. If we go back, well make sure to order from the regular menu. Lupe, our wonderful server, had suggested the rib eye, or the prime rib. But, we werent too hungry, and thought that the smaller portion early bird dinners would suit us fine. The truth is that we couldnt believe that two steak dinners with all the extra trimmings could be had for $25.00.

Disgusting food family of 6 and we all tried each others plates because we couldnt believe how bad the food was. No flavor sauces all water consistency just horrible food and over priced. Would not recommend to anyone.

I thought I was getting there for the 2 for $30 special. But maybe it isnt on Sundays. So, full price hurts. And the ribs were tough and sauced, not pre cooked to tender and glazed over fire as they should be.But, the French bread is the best and the cheese fondue is fabulous.

Went with high expectations from others references. Paid about $42 for filet. When it was served it was luke warm and looked like top sirloin and under cooked. The baked potato had the tin foil smashed into it, which I had to peel out of it in order to eat it.Probably wont give them another chance.

The staff was very friendly. We ordered the 2 for $26.99 early bird dinner. The portions were very small, but I guess thats to be expected with a 2 for deal. We didnt get our dessert. I ordered my steak well done and it came back medium. The waitress was very nice about sending it back to be cooked a little longer. The food was just ok. The steak was tender, but I didnt care for the way it was seasoned. Overall, it was just ok. Not terrible.

Its always nice to see the owner of a restaurant greeting and checking in with customers. Tonight, my boyfriend and I ate at Guss Steakhouse and it was such a pleasure to be greeted upon entry by Gus himself and his son Vinny. Our server was sweet and friendly and quick on her feet. Our shrimp and chicken linguine was marvelously tasty and the portions, amazing. Real heavy cream and fresh garlic tenderly sauteed graced every spoonful. We were able to take home enough leftovers for two teenagers!!! Gus and Chanel checked on us frequently, and the experience was a great way to top of our 10 hour work day. Gus is also famous for their tender steak and portions so stop in whenever you are in Sonora, California!

We came in on a Friday evening at 6:00 and were seated within 10 minutes. There Early bird special dinners go until 7:00 p.m. Two meals for $22.95. The portions are smaller than a regular meal but just right for my daughter and friends son. Still got the fries and salad and the bread you can dip in cheese. My tri-tip was good but not great. Difficult to cut but delicate in the mouth. My friends prime rib was in the good category. Not the best they ever had but definitely good. The best part about the restaurant was the atmosphere and excellent service. Combined with good food at a good price and I would recommend you go check out the steakhouse.

I came here years ago and had an enjoyable experience. My wife and I couldn’t wait to get back and have the fondu.Tonight I brought my family and the fondu was different than I remember. Tasted like ball park nacho cheese, lime it’s out of a can the same stuff you dip a pretzel in. Was way different than I remember. I ordered the captains plate for the entree, all of the fish on that plate seemed to be soggy and cheap like it was bought frozen in a box.Super disappointing…

There was a wait to be seated, but it was dinner time on a Friday. The man who seemed to be in charge, (possibly an owner, idk) was very friendly, happy & emitted a good feeling. Waitress & hostess were very nice & helpful. They never let our drinks run out. We had to send back a steak which was ordered very rare & came medium well. Our food was fine, but we were expecting something special.

Very good portion to price ratio. So many options😊.. Ordered the ribeye, Alfredo pasta, soup, tri-tip & prawn.Steaks were cooked fabulously, nice char on outside but prepared how I wanted in the middle. Juicy. Prawns on the other hand were nothing more than pre battered shrimp.. 😢 Was hoping for more of the fresh shrimp deal. Roasted potatoes were okay. Nice fondue setup, but was just merely melted American cheese. Veggie on the side were okay. A lil seasoning would help. Soup was authentic & good, added a lil salt & pepper, but still tasty.The owner(Gus) was very nice, even though I felt as if the staff was eyeing us the whole time.. The waitress made a statement about all the food we ordered at one time, and it made my wife insecure, and she wept a lil. Waitress also came and reassured if we wanted three meals and that it was expensive. Establishment opens at 3, maybe we wanted a dish at 12pm tomorrow. It was kind of rude, but unintentional, I understand.5⭐ food though

Very well made, fine dining restaurant. This is the perfect place for dates and small groups alike. Fine dining pairs with a craftsman American feel to the restaurant is an excellent combination. The food is the best many might have. All of it is very carefully made to perfection. I could even hear comments and little noises of approval here and there from various others near me. If youre looking for a drink, theres a bar as well with social fellows at the counter. Just be careful, because prices are about what youd expect for fine dining. High prices for very high quality.

Brilliant old school steakhouse experience. I didnt take a pic out of respect for the vibe. 16oz prime rib was maybe the most flavorful and perfectly prepared Ive ever had and Ive had a few. Fondue with the bread is both novel and delicious. Is there anything better than a simple iceberg lettuce salad on a chilled white plate? Classic. Baked potato capped a perfect meal. Also fun to watch the boss man work his room and keep his staff motivated. I have this on a very short list of must go backs.. Every plate that went by was beautiful.

We went there to have steak. Girlfriend had prime rib and loved it after she sent back because it was very rare. I got a new York strip with no mushrooms it was very rare as well sent it back as well it came back cooked more but had mushrooms on I despise mushrooms. Said I dont want it they brought back out just scraped off the shrooms so I didnt get to eat. Gus came over after a few to give us a gift card for the place to make it right. So I will update after I try again. Class act Gus is I hope to try their food soon to reevaluate.

My husband and I ate at Guss tonight, 2nd time this month and was absolutely amazing not only does my family love coming here for the food and service but Gus himself is just such an amazing man and definitely puts a long lasting impression in your heart. The way he takes time out of his day to stop and interact with my 1 year old son and compliment my family is just heartwarming. Theres never been a time gus has not stopped to say hi and chat with my family he even bought my husband and I a round tonight for our 2 year wedding anniversary.

Not overly impressed. Twice eaten there as we are new to town. Red potatoes tasted like barbecue sauce, my husband did not even eat them. Shrimp in the linguini was good, but the sauce was very basic, dried basil used for herb. And for $6.00 a very poor glass of house wine. For $8.00 elsewhere I got a great Hatcher Merlot. I think the proprietor should taste a lot, and rethink the quality of the menu items. Thanks.

Me and a group of about 20 had made a previous reservation the day before but still had to wait half an hour and the man at the door was mad because it happened to be busy that day.🕐 We were fine, although the place was loud and cramped. When we were finally led outside, the waitresses were extremely rude to our group by completely ignoring requests for an extra set of silverware and glaring at all of us, like, it was super awkward and we were definitely a polite group. 😟So we left after 10 minutes of the treatment. The experience was awful and it wasnt until we were halfway out that one waitress apologized, but it was to late. 😔 We ended up going to a Chinese Buffet, which was incredible!!! Long story but true.🤷‍♂️

Weve driven by several times and Ive always said we should stop in to try. So this time we decided to go in for Guss early bird special.Due to COVID restrictions, they are limited to outdoor dining. I was pleasantly surprised with the patio, which was unexpected. The views were nice and there were multiple pergolas and patio heaters. It was a cool evening and the heaters were more than sufficient.Each of us ordered the tri-tip. However I opted for the Cajun one. They brought out bread and fondue as an appetizer and we enjoyed the glass of wine. You get a choice of soup or salad, so so one of us got salad and the other got the clam chowder. They also had minestrone available for Saturday evening.I serve fresh vegetables and your choice of a baked potato or pasta with a red or white sauce as a side. The tri-tip pieces were the perfect size and cooked to our expectations. Everything was very good and the value of two meals for $26 is hard to be anywhere. Especially considering the special includes a small dessert. Its tough to get out of a date night spending $50 anywhere. Add to the fact we also had wine makes this nearly impossible anywhere else.Looking forward to coming back and trying some of their other specials. Speaking of which, I expected a very limited menu for the early bird special. However there is something for literally anyone on the special menu. In fact it looks as if most of their regular menu items are on the early bird special.

The best steakhouse in sonora! The food is very consistent.. My steaks are cooked perfectly everytime..that says it all for a steakhouse.. They offer a awesome eairly bird special..with a large selection to chose from for the special.Fast friendly service, with clean uniformed waitresses. Family freindly dinning is a plus! Definatly a well loved local spot❤❤Only reason why i just like it.. Not loved it..because The dinning room and bar could use some refreshing. Some of the booths/ barstools are outdated, and uncomfortable. And parking is a bit of a hassle. Its located on a main through way street( mono way)..Otherwise its one of the best spots to have dinner with a date, or family!❤

First time there, nice minestrone soup, good bread and butter. Cheese fondue isnt my thing but Im sure a lot of customers enjoy it. Friend ordered garlic mushrooms and they were tasty. His steak and my rack of lamb were cooked as ordered (med, med rare). Pasta with garlic basil sauce was pretty good but mostly cream (Im a garlic and basil fiend so there probably would never be too much in my book). Busy, but good waitstaff with lots of people asking if we needed anything and grabbing water or butter or more bread right away. Really good experience. Im sure we will be back.

Nice and cozy dinning, delishous food, and wonderful staff. Seriously I think the staff has eyes on the back of their heads.. As soon as your finished with your plate or drink they are there fast as a flash. Perfect place for date night, family night, or large celebration. Bar seating also comfortable.

First time visit, tried early dinner special. Waitress was friendly and attentive.Food included soup or salad, plus with main entree, fresh vegetable and side of pasta, plus dessert (ice cream). They ran out of oysters for captains platter, I asked for scallops but received shrimp instead.Husband is a meat eater, thought his salmon portion was small. Yet overall we will try it again to try another early dinner at $12.99. Regular menu offers fine dining prices, most in mid $20 range and above.

The best steakhouse in Sonora at extremely reasonable prices, this place is a local understated treasure.From the outside you might not expect a fine dining experience, but on the inside you get excellent dishes with free fondue (sometimes!).Excellent wait staff, great atmosphere and booths, and did I mention excellent prices especially given the large portions? Seriously schedule a date and head in here.For a get-together with friends, theres also a bar next door that looks pretty decent although I have yet to drink there personally.

Just OK. I had the T Bone steak. A thin cut that was cooked with salt and overly salted at that. The baked potato looked and tasted like perhaps it was reheated from the night before. Not from that day because I was there at 4PM. Plenty of bread and butter. Fondue served but just tasted like melted Velveta. The service was great and friendly. Probably wont go there again except to try a hamburger and Ill be sure to request it not be salted by the cook. Just to be safe.

Honestly, I was not impressed, to put it nicely. I dont like to leave bad reviews, but this place could use some improvements. It was pretty busy for a Tuesday night, so they have business, but Im not sure why.First, the little plates they have on the table for bread, and the ones they serve with the side salads are plastic and look dirty, just because of age and wear and tear. It just looks bad. The rim on the salad plates have this aged, ground in staining, which makes it difficult to tell if its clean or not. Along with that, my bread plate was *actually* dirty; it had some orange piece of food stuck to it when I sat down.Next, the side salad was just dismal. There was one odd slice of tomato. It was like someone just sliced the long side off of a roma tomato. And it just had some sad looking lettuce with some croutons. But the waitress was there with the fresh ground pepper, so they make sure to make it seem like a fancy place.The fish for the fish and chips looks just like slightly longer and thicker frozen fish sticks. They are pathetic. You can go to local sports bars and get big, juicy, full size breaded fish fillets. These looked like they came in a cardboard box that has a picture of a man in a yellow rain coat on it. The salmon is not even a good size fillet, just a small sliver. The rigatoni and marinara sauce is $16! You get about 2 cups of noodles in a little bowl, with some ok marinara sauce, for Six...Teen...Dollars! Crazy. I dont need large portions, but I dont need to pay $16 for $1.00 worth of food. The atmosphere isnt anything special, so they arent making it up there.I suppose their steak must be unbelievable, because these other items were ridiculous. Something has to be keeping them in business. Theyve been open here for a long time, so maybe they have loyal local clientele? It was bad, and way over priced for what you get. I gave it two stars rather than one, because the wait staff was very nice, and the service was quick, but it should be, considering the food they serve.I feel bad outing a local restaurant like this, but I think they need it. This was not good.

The food was pretty decent. The only reason I give it 2 stars instead of 4 or 5 is because the waitress seemed to be annoyed at me for no reason. When she first came to our table (it was my friend and I), she spoke only to my friend and asked her what she wanted to drink then she just left as if I wasnt sitting right there.I let that slide despite how rude it was, but then out of the 7 or so times she came to our table, she only looked my way and asked me what she asked my friend twice. Once to ask what I was ordering (this was after she had already initially asked my friend what she wanted to drink) and another time to ask if I needed a water re-fill (my cup was basically full). Every time she spoke to me, she had this annoyed look on her face. I dont know if she was having a bad day or what, but I felt very disrespected as a customer. I still left a small tip, but I would have appreciated it if she didnt act like I was a nuisance for seemingly no real reason.Would I recommend it for others? Yes, although she treated me poorly, she seemed to treat other people similarly which means that she may have just been having a bad day. Not to mention the food was decent enough.Would I still go back? No, I wouldnt go back because one instance of horrible service is enough for me. Having a bad day doesnt justify poor service.

OMG. What a wonderful dinner. I had rack of lamb and my friend had ribeye steak. Restaurant is small and fast paced. Good service and nice staff. Cheese fondue was a real treat.. Will definitely go again.

One of the best places and menus in the area. We ended up going back 3 nights in a row. Prime rib is done to perfection as are the steaks. Ask for a take out box as unless you are unusually hungry, there will be leftovers

My husband and I started going to Guss Steakhouse in Sonora in 2013 after my daughter Sarah was hired. I am writing this in honesty that this restaurant not only offers great food but at a reasonable cost. It feels great to go out and treat yourself and this is one of the best in town!

The steak was VERY flavorful. Loved the cheese fondue with the fresh bread. I ordered the chicken parm. It was ok, but Ill try something else next time.This place is VERY busy. We waited for over an hour, but we knew we would be. It was worth the wait, and our server was very attentive.

I was not prepared for how upscale yet comfortable this place was, seeing it from the outside! You can chill at the bar or step into the restaurant to have a killer steak, fantastic seafood, and fresh baked bread. Their early bird special cant be beat too!

Food was ok. Ate prime rib dinner. Salad tasted as though it was out of a bag, good potatoes and steamed vegetables. The inside was old and worn out which gave me the impression before we ordered maybe the menu was too. Service was ok. Family seating. Wont be back.

Both steaks had no flavor. Lamb was way over cooked and not tender. Potatoes were over spiced. Salad dressing was watery. Fettuccini was really runny. I am really disapointed. The bill was about $125, I dont mind paying money for good food but this was ridiculous. If I could Id give 0 stars. Thumbs down Gus.

Walking in we were hit with bad stale smell.Bathrooms were not serviced, no toilet paper, towels or soap.Plywood was on backdrop greeting area.The bar was filled with dirty, scruffy, loud men, who harassed bartender.When we asked for a Moscow mule the bartender looked at us dazed; then responded by saying, we dont do dat here, we dont make mojitos either!The food: too much sage and parmesan cheese on roasted red potatoes, I would not eat them. Vegetables the same. The steak was old and tough, tastless for a fillet mignon.The lobster tail was good and the fondue good.The decor in dining room was very dirty, empty bottles with dried up wine were the wall display, OMG!Gus, clean your act up!
