Gus`s Family Restaurant in Picton

Very family friendly, homely and the place i feel most comfortable bringing my kids!

Best family diner. Homemade diner food that will leave you wanting more. Huge portions great tasting and very reasonable prices. **best souvlaki pitas ever**

great food big portions friendly staff

Understaffed or racist? We went there for lunch after our 2 hour drive from toronto. Waitress were staring at us since the beginning, the first waitress(A) told us to go to the back, the waitress(B) in the back then said to me: did you not see a bigger table in the front? So I replied: the other waittress told us to...B managed to cut me off saying: okay okay( with an eyeroll).Me and my friends( canadian citizens but ethnically asians) were standing in the back side waiting for a clean table where none of the waitresses came to offer help or did anything. The tables were still dirty and messy. Conclusion: experience was terrible. Customer service was non-existance. If they are understaffed, I would blame their supervisor. But if not, I highly doubt their training or ability in the industry. We are polite and respectful people, expecting the same from prince edward county as a tourist friendly place.

Great little small-town diner with that old-fashioned feel - delicious souvlaki (both pork and chicken) with enough for two! The Rueben was also fantastic (ask for it grilled!), and the Greek salad was big enough for a meal. Attentive, friendly service, accommodating in these times of the pandemic. As they say "You won't leave here hungry". Don't forget to ask to rub the Buddha's belly, for good luck!

Best family run restaurant been to in a long time. Everytime I'm in town I'll always have breakfast there

Ambience is really good but it's more a Greek restaurant...

I love diners. Simple breakfast diners especially. This is a bad breakfast diner and here is why: 1 -The service was curt and rushed2- Bacon is readycrisp precooked3- They charge an extra .95 for onions in the homefries 4- They charge an extra .30 for rye bread 5- Pancakes are from a mix6- They use Aunt Jemima syrup, in eastern Ontario this is especially inexcusable There is the bare minimum of effort being put in here and it shows. Wouldn’t go back, wouldn’t recommend, and wouldn’t be surprised if it shutters soon with new places to eat opening in town lately.

Great meal fast service we had chicken parmigiana very good. Would recommend it to anyone who wants a fab meal

Great little dinner with wonderfull food. There is plenty of seating in front and back with access to washrooms. They will also make pizza for sit in or take out orders. Staff are friendly. This is a local hot spot with residents of the County.

Pretty much what you would expect. Just an old school greasy spoon restaurant.

Very good service, food was tasty and served quick and hot and it was a good atmosphere. Also, the amount of food you get with the price of your dish increases the value of the meal and it’s a hearty sized dish, so it’s quite filling. Very pleased with this restaurant.

So disappointed in this place, my family used to come here all the time and we came here today to relive a tradition and left regretting it. Our server was awful and they wouldn’t make our food the way we wanted it. All we ordered was eggs toast and home fries and a slice of ham AND THEY CHARGED US THIRTY DOLLARS. They cooked our food horribly and argued with me when I asked for it to be made the way I wanted it and made my mother and I trade food instead. We will NEVER step foot in this establishment every again.

AMAZING!!! Great little spot for a family dinner. All items on the menu were excellent and the prices more than reasonable and very large portions. One of the best pizzas I've had, I highly recommend it. If you're in the Picton area, a must stop!

Good lasagna! Nice servers. Seems like a friendly place. Busy.

Great place nice n friendly and good food too!

If you're looking for an old fashioned ma and pa type restaurant, then this is the perfect place! The food is delicious and reasonably priced...a good bang for your buck.There's no shortage of tables as there's a back room too.The ladies that work there are long time staff and very friendly.Be prepared to go hungry as the servings are quite large and delicious!

Best egg, bacon, cheese on a bagel breakfast sandwich with coffe for $8. Yummy home fries. Great service.

Solid greasy spoon. Good breakfast, clubhouse, and souvlaki!

Had the liver and onions. It was excellent and cooked just right. A good amount of mash potatoes / gravy. Nice atmosphere where there are a lot of regulars. Hope to be one someday.

Great place, great food and good prices. Fast, friendly service.

If I could give this 3.5 stars I would. We were told this place was "meh" and it was only the locals that liked it. We went here after trying to get into the lighthouse. It's nothing fancy, I had sausage and eggs and my parents had peameal and eggs, and they were great. Very tasty. Eggs were done a perfect over easy. Good value for money.

Good, honest food. Value for your money.

Always great food and service. Try the chicken salad!!

Great place for a quick burger. Service is fast and prices are reasonable.

Good home cooked meals

Hit and miss.Enjoyed their pizza, Greek chicken, children's fish and chips, but the baked lasagna was disgusting with no flavor (needs some serious love and should be sold as is).

They have a huge menue, but not for someone who's vegetarian or eats only fish or only halal. We went there for dinner and I ordered the fish platter. It was big but the fish was not marinated at all, not even salt. The overall experience was okay nothing major to woow me or to disappoint me.

Friendly local diner in Picton. A bit of everything on the menu: breakfast, burgers, Greek AND pizza. Uploading the menu because it doesn't seem to be online anywhere!

Worst restaurant I’ve been too in a long time. They use PROCESSED CHEESE in a ham and cheese omelette. The cooking quality is terrible,. The meals are hardly cooked at all. They don’t even care. So disappointed.

I recently visited this establishment and will never go back again. This used to be a staple for my family and I. I went with my mother and sister. All we ordered was eggs, toast, and home fries, pretty simple you'd think. We asked for our eggs over easy and they were over hard, our incredibly rude server actually made my mother and I trade food rather than take it back and just make it how we had asked. When I asked for my home fries to be cooked longer for a second time our server refused saying that they couldn't, and actually had the audacity to speak badly of us as we were leaving. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. I'm pretty disgusted that we were actually charges thirty dollars for such garbage!

Good food and well priced. If you like diners, would recommend.

Excellent food and service. Best restaurant in Picton!

Food is always decent here. You get no fuss meals. I usually have breakfast here when I am in picton. It's not fancy food but is quality and the quantity is good.

God food at a good price

Great family owned and operated little spot in the heart of Picton. Loved their clubhouse sandwich and they make a great breakfast too.

OUTSTANDING!!! Comfort food galore! This is classic diner fare and very well cooked and presented - given what it is - honest to goodness diner food. So if you like grilled cheese, hamburgers, BLT and fries - you are in luck!!!

Great food, great portions, and great service. It was especially busy today, but our server always made sure to check by our table and make sure everything was going smoothly. Classic small-town diner feel.

Food and staff are amazing and the price ,quality and quantity are superb

Great diner, huge portions at a low price. Very impressed with this place! Will be back.

Friendly staff, good homemade family meals at good prices

Staff friendly, food was good. Fun atmosphere. Was brought here by local area resident who love the place and are regulars.

After noticing multiple flies in my fries, I mentioned it to our server who proceeded to giggle and say, “oh nice” with no apology to follow. Was also not offered a discount or refund of my meal. The reasoning for not receiving a discount on my meal was that “it’s summer and there are flies everywhere, it’s bound to happen and there’s nothing we can do” safe to say I would not ever recommend this place to anyone.

Great service and reasonable prices. The food wasn't too bad but real instead of processed cheese in my omelette would have made another star. The staff worked hard to make the kids happy as well and that's not too common any more.

Good food great prices

Old outdated smelly , waitress was inattentive & food was sub par especially for the price

Food is non consistent..and..the staff were fighting every time we go there..do not recommend

One star because I cannot post no star. The worst coffee I've ever drank. Hot brown water. Sitting waiting for food, noticing the dirty environment, 4 tubs of dirty dishes beside our sticky table. We ordered pancakes. They where not edible, like the pancake batter was watered down, tasteless. We left without eating or touching our coffee. Seriously! The worst I've had.

Not visit-related. But I’m sorry to say that Gus’s restaurant has unfortunately lost my business for good. A few days ago a man wearing the restaurants work shirt came into my apartment, assaulted my friend and made false allegations against him. So again my deepest regrets that I will never be coming back to that environment if I cannot even feel safe in my own apartment thinking he will come back for me.

Excellent as usual. Liver tender & onions fried perfectly.
