Wait! Can't WAIT to go back! Check hours before driving over there! We missed our breakfast window the other day and weren't able to make a repeat visit. :( Wait staff is very friendly. Food is delicious and interesting. In a cool old building which takes you back to the old West. A true hidden gem! Don't miss it! read more

Outstanding food in a small town. Very nice decor and plenty of seating for groups. Staff is always ready to make sure you're well taken care of. A smoked Woodford old fashioned would be a great addition. read more

what a gem in the middle of Iowa. we arrived when they just opened for the day and it was open seating. we quickly settled on what to eat. Wife and the kids had a cheeseburger. it was good. the kids cheeseburger is huge (same size as the regular). I love how they give you options as to which potato product you would like. I settled for the special, chicken fried steak. it was delish. served over homemade mashed potatoes (still had some chunks of potato!) along with string beans gravy. So good and for $12?! In Seattle area that would cost you closer to $20. great value, great flavor and great service. I would not hesitate to come back. read more

Food was good service was quick. Good place to stop while traveling. Enjoyed the beautiful old building.

Gosh, I wanted to like this place so much more. We saw the the great reviews on Google and Yelp and were excited to try it out. Our party of 12 came on a Saturday evening right at opening and were able to get seated right away. The restaurant is a cute little corner shop with even it's own street sign pointing the way to the restaurant. Their menu was expansive and covered a broad range of cuisines so it was easy for everyone to find something that they liked. I ordered the grilled pork chop and had intended on splitting half of it to share with my Father-in-Law who ordered the Prime Rib special. The caesar salad was beautiful and tasted wonderful. Honestly the exact right amount of dressing as I didn't think it was too heavy or light. The pork came shortly thereafter and it's totally my perception but for a $16 entree, it looked really plain. I think a few garnishes, drizzle of a sauce, or something would have gone a long way (see photos). The flavor was good, it was juicy and had some notes of rosemary and garlic. Everything turned south when I cut into the pork and it was really pink. Now I recognize that the USDA says you can have some pink in your pork chop but I would've preferred it to be cooked through (as I assume most people) since it's been a longstanding truth. OR at the minimum, to ask if I wanted it pink or cooked through. I do think it was an honest mistake and when I let our server know, she froze, and then apologized and offered up an alternative. That was exactly the response you would hope and I ended up getting chicken tacos. So why 2 stars? I shortly became sick after our dinner and I assume the few bites of the pork chop had something to do with it. My stomach continued to hurt and feel unsettled the rest of the night. As for the replacement tacos and the other food- our party generally thought it was good but not quite 5 stars. There's ample opportunity to improve and become a 5 star restaurant we would consider giving them another shot when we're in Woodbine next. read more

We had eaten at Good Fellows a few years ago, at which time we had a delicious meal, great service and a nightcap at the bar where we were served by an pleasant bartender. So, we looked forward to our return visit. Unfortunately, our waiter was not good: distracted, no eye contact, answered questions perfunctorily as he rushed away. In a word, he was indifferent. He came back only once, a couple minutes after we got our food to ask how things were, but ignored us until he brought the check and began clearing our table. My beer had been empty for ten minutes, but he never asked if I wanted another. My friend was buying dinner and left a generous tip. I hope the waiter doesn't get the wrong idea and believe his service was good. I ordered the pork chop which I thought was delicious. The masked potatoes were lukewarm at best, though the gravy was excellent. The side of broccoli was just okay. My friend's chicken fried steak was good. The website indicated Good Fellows offers vegetarian options, but I saw none on the menu except for a veggie pizza. Curious, I asked the waiter if there were any other vegetarian options. He gestured toward my plate and said "mashed potatoes and some sides." That said, the menu has a nice variety, the portions are large, and the prices are less than you would expect. I will try Good Fellows one more time. I hope the waiter and the kitchen staff were having an off night, because the building and restaurant are charming, and I like to support local businesses. read more

Stopped on our way home from Omaha tonight and will definitely be back! The food and drinks were great! It's hard to find good mixed drinks east of Omaha but Good Fellows has a great drink menu at reasonable prices. The dinner & lunch menus have a great selection, there should be something to make everyone happy with sandwiches, steaks, chicken, pizza, Mexican, and Asian selections. Many of the menu items look like they could be easily gluten free. The Prime Rib was delicious with a yummy Au jus that had just the right level of flavor and saltiness. I selected the soup starter which was tomato basil, this soup was so good, it reminded me of soup I've had at fancy places in Chicago- so good! Oh, I almost forgot about the deserts, they had a special Raspberry pie with homemade vanilla ice cream tonight but we opted for the strawberry cheesecake. The strawberry syrup tasted fresh and flavorful on top of yummy cheesecake. This hidden treasure is tucked away on Main Street and has a great atmosphere with great service. I'm already looking forward to coming back read more

I had pork chops and my wife had the pulled pork. Everything was delicious. I wish I knew exactly what they put on the pork chops as they were some of the best I've ever had. Service was great. We were seated promptly and waters remained full. The atmosphere is very much what I'd look for when going on a dinner date with my wife. We'll be back soon! read more

Great environment and food. The tenderloin sandwich was amazing and pick the chips if you are deciding between the chips and fries.... yum yum, we will stop again when coming through town. And you can play your man at checkers on the beautful custom bar they made. Sara was so sweet so stop by and say hi and fill your belly! read more

A true hidden gem. It's my husband and my favorite place to eat. I love the burrito and he loves the prime Rib. Quaint but upscale. Comfortable so you can wear whatever and the owner and staff are super friendly. Love this place! Highly recommend! read more

What a great to go meal! Everything was from scratch and if it wasn't they sure fooled me. Delicious. Folks who care about food and put love into it will always get high marks from me! I can't believe I ate my full Bobino--an open-faced turkey sandwich with moist turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy ... Heaven! Just the right seasoning. Too bad I don't live there. What a treasure. BTW, if you like beer, they have some stellar local/regional brews on tap! read more

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff. Portion size is great. Food is excellent although a little pricey. I would say this is more of a "special" treat night. read more
