Bill and i ate a rare lunch out and once again it was so enjoyable that we have renewed our desire to do this about once a month. We were heading back from the DMV off of 22nd and this restaurant is on 22nd near Wilmot. Its been around since 1966 and from the look of a lot of the diners and the waitresses, i believe that.
The restaurant has a huge parking lot which is much bigger than the actual building which is fairly small. It has all booths and a counter and a super tiny squeeze yourself onto the toilet bathroom in the back. Its open till 3pm Monday to Saturday.
The place was full when we got there (right at lunchtime) and it was really really noisy. You get free coffee or tea with their salads, breakfasts and entrees but not with burgers or sandwiches. wierd, huh? The menu is very basic with reasonable prices.
We both got coleslaw which was good; maybe a tad too sweet. And we split 2 different kinds of sandwiches; a warm meatloaf on toasted rye bread with lettuce and tomato and an egg salad on toasted white bread. it looked plain and simple on the plate but oh, my it was good. The egg salad had a great flavor and wasn't too immersed in mayo and the meatloaf had a fantastic taste and there were 2 big slices on the bread.
So we will be back though now that we've re-committed to going out once a month, there are a bunch of other restaurants i want to try so it might be awhile before we recycle back to Gus's.
sounds like you are on a meatloaf kick! you should make some yourself??
