Since 1985, Gus Janos has been serving hand-breaded, cooked-to-order seafood in landlocked Yadkinville — and people drive out of their way to get here.

An Unlikely Bet in 1985
Gus Janos opened a seafood restaurant in a rural Piedmont county seat — the kind of move that raises eyebrows. He bet that if the food was good enough, people would come, and he was right.
Gus Still Runs The Kitchen
Every piece of seafood is hand breaded and cooked to order — no shortcuts, no freezer bags. Gus is still in there after nearly 40 years, making sure every plate goes out right.
The Menu
Flounder, shrimp, salmon, deviled crab — fried or broiled, your call — plus hand-cut steaks and a kids' menu. Something for everyone in the family.
Room For The Whole Crowd
With 250 seats and a private party room for 100, this is where Yadkin County comes to celebrate. Birthdays, reunions, church groups — call ahead and we'll take care of you.
Nearly 40 Years And Still Going
The restaurant on US 601 has outlasted trends and competitors because the standard never slipped. Quality and quantity — the promise in 1985, and the promise on every plate today.
