With heaping plates of comfort food and warm decor, you’ll feel at home at this barbeque haven — established in 1946. Though recent renovations of updated Gus’s look, there’s still an engrained memory of South Pasadena’s history and the restaurant’s past. We give our coveted Spotlight of the Week honor to Gus’s BBQ because, well, there’s no place like home.
