We loved it here- so cute- when you walk in it's a gorgeous building with a very open upstairs and 2 bars. Would be perfect place for brunch. Service was good, everyone was nice. The food was very good- dips fresh- everything had great flavor! Lavender lemonade was my favorite! Hope to be back! read more

I really didn't want to leave this review, but I think management needs to know what's going on. Dined here on Tuesday the 21st of July. Upon entry we were advised of a 15 minute wait, but looking around the restaurant was nowhere near capacity with the upstairs completely empty, and downstairs there were 2-3 open tables. We were advised after finally being seated that management didn't want to overwhelm the wait staff (to which there was only one working). The hostess did help out with minor table duties on occasion, but management never once lifted a finger in the front of the house, nor made themselves available. I don't know the circumstances for how they got into this situation (lack of staff), but I do know there are a lot more people looking for jobs, then jobs available. Possibly it was a back of the house staffing issue in this case, as the front of the house server, really wasn't that busy. There was still plenty of time for the manager and assistants to be on their cell phones. Wait staff present seemed to be new, so the blame can't be placed on them. Case in point, a part of 8 came in and were told to wait, to which they did, all the while the table they eventually sat in (20-30 minutes later) lay open the entire time. When they were seated they inquired about appetizers and drinks. One comment from the party (to other members of their party) "we could have sat here the whole time" which was true. They could have been drinking drinks, socializing instead of sitting on the wooden waiting benches. During the time we dined at least a dozen individuals either left the restaurant after finding out the wait times, or upon entering seeing the full waiting area decided to dine elsewhere. Service was slow (as expected with one server), but what was odd, is other than the back of the house staff (helping to deliver food), nobody else pitched in much to try and help (other than table setting or clearing). Sometimes crowds come and go, but when business is good, you hustle, and when business is slow you can relax a bit. If there is non-stop business, then it's time to increase the wait staff. The server who was working was pleasant, but offered no apologies or explanations as to why everything was running so slowly. Sometimes just a quick apology goes a long ways. Food was fine, although it was obvious it had been sitting a little while before arriving at the table. Drink glasses were not refilled, asked about the entire evening. When the meal was finished, it took quite a while for the server to recognize, before clearing or payment. I know this is not an upscale restaurant, but management needs to handle the staffing better, and pitch in when needed. read more

So I guess we haven't been here for a minute... came here Friday around 4PM, we had a craving for fried chicken and didn't want to drive to Round Rock. The place was empty beside us and one other table. Our server sat us and brought water and menus. Honestly I didn't even need one since I know what I wanted. The bacon wrapped sausage pops and a half bone in fried chicken... To our disappointment, they no longer offer bone in fried chicken or any fried chicken! No bacon wrapped sausage pops either, no bacon fried rice or the delicious items we were used to. WTH?? Asking our very nice server, what gives?? She wasn't really sure but thought it had to do with the fried chicken taking too long to prepare and people waiting for their orders. Man what a bummer. So we decided to see what they do carry. And the answer is , not much. I should have trusted my instincts and just went somewhere else, but we had already ordered drinks. Since I had a hankering for chicken, I ordered the chicken wings with a special bbq sauce. I was thinking crispy chicken wings was as close to fried chicken pieces as I was gonna get today. My table also ordered the braised beef shoulder as it sounded delish. We also ordered two biscuits with honey butter. The biscuits arrived first. They were undercooked, dense and like warm. The honey butter was honey in a small container with cold hard butter in the middle. (Refer to pic) The food arrived and I was a bit underwhelmed. The wings were not crispy but soft and flabby. The sauce was flavorful but the wings themselves were not! They reminded me of wings I make in the microwave. The braised beef was ok but it looked nothing like the pic on the restaurants website. Lacking any sauce. Instead of collard greens, it was served with green beans that reminded me of overly cooked canned beans. The bright spot was our server, she was young but very nice and attentive. I don't see my family returning here. The restaurant seems to have turned from Southern Comfort food to Diner food. read more

No one was at the door to greet me and my friend. Tables in dinning area were dirty and all servers kept walking past them ignoring the dirtiness. Food was a 3/10 for flavor and texture. Multiple fried food was soggy, ranch has a terrible dill flavor. No one came to check on our table, ask how our food was, or refill our drinks. We had to ask for our condiments, napkins and anything we needed for the table . These good folks are not good folks! read more

Love this little location. Very upscale looking and feel. I think that they are lacking on presentation when it comes to food though. If you look at the pictures, they don't scream upscale at all. Cutting food on a piece of paper in a wire basket sucks. Hard to cut chicken and waffles on and horrible with the syrup. The Service, however, was amazing, but the food lacked when it came to the quality of the cooked chicken because some of it was perfectly cooked, whereas some looked a little overcooked. The salad tasted amazing! But the waffle was hard and in some spots difficult to cut with a knife. Overall, not bad and would love to give them a second chance! read more

We tried for the first time today I got a chicken sandwich To Go and my wife got the braised beef and mashed potatoes which she ate there. We loved the food here and the Southern comfort menu is fantastic. One thing no collards please remove for menu and next no lemonade cake. However, the dining room is small with historic hard surfaces that amplify every sound. As I said we were there today around 4 pm, one incredibly large, loud customer completely dominated the entire room. It was impossible to hear my wife across a small table, and several other tables were visibly frustrated. read more

A nice cafe located on the corner of the Georgetown square. This cafe has a small menu that is worth checking out. It also has alcoholic beverages for consumption. Today I stopped by and was seated right away. They were a little busy so it took a little time before they came by to get our order. The server did apologize for our wait. I ordered the Goodfolks classic chicken sandwich with their sidewinder fries. The food was very good. I enjoyed my visit here and most likely be back when Im in GT. Thank you Goodfolks for a good experience. read more

I finally stopped by this establishment hoping to try the great famous friend chicken some of the reviews were speaking about; turns out that they have a new chef and the bone in chicken has been removed from the menu. I was definitely sad, but hey...no worries I did try something else! I got the Cheesesteak with a side of fries (loved the unique cut) and a honey mustard sauce for dipping. The food was overall good, I just wished that the meat was finely chopped and seasoned just a tad bit more, literally a tad! Service was quick and my food was super fresh; I messed up for not eating it there because my sandwich bread roll was a little soggy on the bottom, but that was my fault for taking it home lol! They did advise that they will be adding some Cajun eats to the menu, that's got me sold to come back. The staff was friendly and I most certainly loved the girl with the ginger hair, she's super awesome and had a smile on her face! Y'all better keep her! Another female staff member gave me a compliment on my sandals, keep her too! The inside is very soft and comfortable. I didn't snap many photos since there were other customers eating with children. Definitely a place to have a nice bite and a cute lunch date. read more

Adorable place! We had a reservation and arrived early, but they seated us right away. We were placed upstairs, which was noticeably warmer than downstairs--something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to temperature. Our waitress was attentive and helpful, even answering questions about a specialty cocktail that wasn't listed on the menu. The food was decent--nothing standout, but solid overall. The ambiance and service definitely made the experience enjoyable. read more

The hostess and server were great!! We waited about 15 minutes to be seated, once we sat I ordered a margarita and the waitress said it'd be 45 minutes till we get our food and drinks, which was okay. My friend ordered sweet tea but was given unsweetened twice lol. We ended up getting everything in a timely manner. There was an ant in my water. The margarita was great. Brussel sprouts tasted amazing. The tender basket was tasty too, I understand the "specialty sauce" is a $1.00 extra, but the container was not filled, it was maybe less than half. It was pretty loud with a lot of little kids running around the top floor. read more

We reserved a table for 8 for a friend's Sunday surprise birthday brunch. We did call ahead and were pleased that they had no issue with us bringing a Bday cake. Even though we arrived early to surprise the Birthday girl, our table was ready, and our server brought water as we awaited the guest of honor. Service throughout our visit was excellent. Goodfolks has an extended brunch menu and some interesting cocktails to get your motor running on a Sunday Funday. Bloodies and French 75s were table favorites. Check out their online menu for a complete list of their craft cocktails and local beer offerings. Highlights were the basic classic breakfast: applewood smoked bacon, 2 Vital Farms eggs, potato hash, and Texas toast. Three of us ordered our eggs served differently, and they all arrived perfecto. Another highlight was the chicken and biscuits. This serving is huge and was a struggle for most to finish. The chicken breast arrived crispy, lightly battered as advertised. The maple sage gravy and syrup honey butter provide a sweet taste to the dish. Two of us struggled to remember what business occupied this location before Goodfolks. Thank you, Elise, for your 2022 review, which reminded us that the Burger University was the previous tenant. I would recommend reservations, as they did get pretty busy. Easy 5-star review for this wonderful Georgetown Square restaurant. , read more

Their fried chicken and mashed potatoes were fabulous. Good food, good service , and a cute restaurant decor.

The menu definitely changed and the food is so mid. Goodfolks used to be one our fav spots, now I wouldn't recommend it at all. The menu is now very simple and fast food-like and the food isn't cooked well or tastes very good. Before: It had classier, more complex, and better prepared food. The food itself was cooked to perfection and the flavors were interesting. Now: Pretzel bites were definitely from a bag and extremely overcooked with barely any salt. The cheese was served in a disposable plastic bowl. They don't really use dish-ware anymore and serve in baskets and paper. The chicken and waffles are seasoned differently than before and I don't like the new version. Whatever changed needs to be reversed. :/ read more

I visited here with two friends for brunch last Sunday. It was around lunch time. I didn't have a reservation but we were able to be seated in a timely manner. We were seated upstairs which is where the bar is located. There is also a bathroom on each floor and an elevator which I think is awesome. Our waitress Aubrey was great as it was some of our first time going to this place she helped us figure out what was the good items for brunch. Also the whole experience was good overall. The food was banging!!!!! My breakfast sandwich was so good. Everyone enjoyed their meal. No crumbs left lol. Also, the brownie was so rich and so delicious. It was a great way to end a good meal! I will definitely be back. I heard that the fried chicken is good so I can't wait to do a review read more

Sat at the bar (make sure to look up at the cool ceiling) and the experience was wonderful. The decor and ambiance was fun, bright and design forward. The space of the entire restaurant is gorgeous with the second tier tables looking over the ground floor space. Service was spectacular. Negroni was perfect. The biscuits are a must, 10/10. Coleslaw was 10/10, perfectly dressed with a slightly sweet but tangy dressing. White meat fried chicken was dry and overcooked, 3/10. Seasoning wasn't quite there. Truffle Mac and cheese was decent but barely tasted any truffle, 5/10, and more like butter noodles. Hubs got the buffalo chicken burger and said was good. Tried his fries and they were great! My favorite part about the experience was their set of beautiful wooden games at the bar. We played connect 4 while sipping on drinks and it was so fun. read more

Two years in a row, during the Georgetown Red Poppy Festival, we've gone in Goodfolks, up stairs to the bar, sat down and waited, and waited AND WAITED. Just to finally get up and leave. The GM was behind the bar hanging up glassware. We told him that we'd like to order. He replied 'Sorry, I'm the GM. I don't serve drinks. I've been here since 9 o'clock this morning. I've been really busy.' Well, if you were worth anything as a GM, people wouldn't be walking out on you, frustrated about not being served! read more

Food 10/10 - 1 of THE best Nashville chicken sandwiches we've had! Just the right amount of spice/heat. Fries were fresh and crispy. We started off with biscuits and honey butter too - oh my.

Just ordered food from this place for the first and last time. The fish was bland and it was a very small portion with many bones (catfish). The red beans and rice was horrible. The rice was undercooked and had no flavor. I kept crunching on something hard. We ordered to go and when we arrived to pick it up there was no on in the restaurant. Either get a new cook or close down. read more

Service was good. Food my wife's catfish dinner left room for a great deal of improvement.. fish was a little soggy, the red beans and rice was overcooked to mush. She was then charged for bread that should have been included. My shrimp po boy was good and the bread was excellent. Hope they can improve. read more

The restaurant was much bigger inside than it looked from the outside, plenty of seating and spacious enough to accommodate our larger party! The chicken sandwiches here are delicious but definitely indulgent. You won't find too many 'healthier' options here but if you're coming to a place known for their chicken and waffles, that should be expected. It's one of better restaurants out in the Georgetown Square, would recommend! read more

This used to be our favorite Georgetown spot. We've been here countless times and loved it, but unfortunately today we were just... disappointed. They seemed to have made many changes in the last three months. First, you don't order at the table anymore. It's fine, but compared to before we just felt very rushed, especially since the menu had changed. When the food came, we didn't get the sides we had picked for our sandwiches. When we asked about it, they told us that they were out of that particular side and forgot to tell us. Again that would be fine, except instead of letting us know and asking us to pick a new one from the available options, they just gave us a random side. We ordered the PBLT for the first time and were disappointed with the "simplicity" of it. It was literally just toast with a piece of lettuce, a piece of tomato, a large amount of mayo, and a few pork belly slices. It didn't taste bad but was not something I'd order again, I could've easily made that at home The chicken & waffles dish used to be our absolute favorite with its delicious, thick, and fluffy waffles. Today, we were served tiny, thin, and hard waffles that felt like eating old eggo waffles. The dish was also served in a wire basket with paper instead of a plate which meant we basically cut the chicken on the table. See attached picture for reference. On the plus side, the staff is still very nice and attentive and the place looks beautiful as always. All in all, we sincerely hope they reverse all these (what felt like) downgrades. We won't be coming back if it stays this way. read more

Great menu options and love the freshness of the items. Their biscuits are my favorite.

We came for brunch and... Honestly I had really high hopes for this place because the restaurant itself has such a cute vibe and aesthetic. It's really beautifully decorated. Expect a long wait for literally everything, not the servers fault I think they were just really behind despite it not being super busy. The food was honestly just okay, we got chicken tenders and their breakfast sandwich, our server did preface us ordering that food takes about 25 minutes, when we had already waited 40 for a table we were starving! Maybe we need a reservation next time? read more

If you're up North and craving fried chicken and potatoes in multiple forms, this is the spot! Beautifully succulent chicken (recommend the bone in 1000% over the tenders) with great flavor and so dang juicy. The breading is lighter than what I typically enjoy and some of the skin was a little soft for eating, but overall, quite satisfactory. The dips are highly recommended, so I went with the ranch. Thumbs up for sure. With the four piece combo, you get two sides and two biscuits. Lemme tell ya something, these biscuits are BUTTERY. I was slightly thrown off when they didn't offer butter to go with them, but once I tried it, I realized that they channeled their inner Paula Deen with this recipe. As for sides, I chose the coleslaw which had a nice tang and was well mayo'd but without globs. Top 3 coleslaw I've had this year. The potato salad was also a winner. The dining hall has two levels with the main first floor dining area and then a lofted second floor that a pretty staircase leads directly up to. Pretty, but there were some screaming children whose war cries echoed throughout the entire space. Obviously not the staff's fault, just maybeee more of a family friendly spot than a date night place - just to set expectations for your visit. Our waitress was super accommodating and friendly. Despite having to travel up and down the flight of stairs to check on us, we never felt abandoned or forgotten. Will definitely come back! read more

Our server & food was great. Love the atmosphere and location. Would not recommend messing with the hostess upon check-in. Maybe she had an off morning, she wasn't welcoming, not pleasant at all. Overheard her telling the people before us that they needed to be done by 11 am. Just a little put off by her tone and was second guessing our decision to eat there. This was only after the restaurant had been open for 30 minutes. But stayed after getting another hostess who was all smiles and welcomed us as she sat us down. Overall, experience was great and will come back again. read more

Goodfolks was highly recommended for brunch by my neighbor. Haven't had the chance to visit for brunch yet but I made it in one evening for dinner. I had the fried chicken and was really hopeful because I had been craving fried chicken. I would love to have rated it higher but it didn't meet my expectations. It tasted like the grease needed to be changed, but after taking another look at photos, mine was identical to the usual presentation. Maybe it's just an acquired taste. I'll be back to try brunch though. read more

We popped into Goodfolks for dinner last night (Thursday). It wasn't too busy, just a few tables. We were seated right away. Probably five tables with patrons. The decor is very cute, simple and tasteful. We noticed some of the art was actually what looked to be depictions of Georgetown buildings. I love seeing local art. The tables were a little close, we were all listening to each other's conversations. Table to the left was a bit louder and I learned a lot about their business venture (very exciting-hope it goes well)! Table to the right was the sweetest family! While it was enjoyable, I can imagine if fully seated it might be a bit harder to converse with your table. Our waiter was very personable and made recommendations as it was our first visit. The dishes we tried were: Queso and Chips Cajun Chicken Sandwich Chicken Fried NY Strip White chocolate bread pudding Strawberries and Buttermilk cake Every thing we had was freshly and well cooked. The sandwich was a great portion and good flavor. The steak was perfect! I really liked the mashed potatoes. Nice place to dine, good quality food and great service. read more

We came here with a large party for late lunch and was quickly seated. We've been here a couple times already and we always enjoy the southern and modern aesthetic feel of the restaurant. It has a great location on the square! They are known for their biscuits with hot honey and they have never disappointed! I enjoyed the tender chicken wings that is juicy but doesn't feel overwhelmingly oily. We said yes to the dessert and the key lime pie was amazing! The bread pudding was a little too thick/compact but overall we enjoyed it. read more

The menu here is great for folks with food allergies, clearly labeled and the wait staff is knowledgeable about the process and product. My wife said it's probably the best gluten free bread she has had in a long time. It's got a bit of old school diner feel to it but slightly more upscale- marble like table tops. We both ordered a chicken sandwich and all their choices can be ordered fried or grilled. Gluten free bun but ALSO a gluten free breading option if you want the fried chicken. The fries are a unique cut, sorta like a cross between a steak fry and a curly fry. They were cooked to a golden brown which I really appreciated. The food was great, service great, no complaints. read more

We came here on a Saturday night at around 6:45. I loved the decor and ambiance, it made me feel like I was in a diner in New York City. We had made a reservation, so we were seated promptly. We ordered the biscuits with honey butter as an appetizer, and they were to die for! For our mains, we got the salads with their signature fried chicken on top, along with truffle Mac and cheese, sweet potato fries, and corn esquites. The Mac and cheese was amazing, not too subtle or too strong, and not cloyingly heavy/rich, which was perfect. The fries were also delicious, well-seasoned and crisp. The salads were perfectly sized and the fried chicken was great! Our only complaint were the esquites. They were so salty, we couldn't eat them. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves, the service was great, and we will be back! read more

We loved our first time !! Bacon Jam Fried RiceService 5 stars Fried chicken 5 stars Caesar salad 5 stars Overall our first visit to Goodfolks was awesome from ambiance and decor to good food and service... the only reason I gave an overall 4 stars was for the fried rice honestly. It missed the mark but didn't ruin the meal... Honey biscuits were a great sweet start and the caesar salad was AMAZING! Love the corn and pumpkin seeds and the addition of bacon is a no brainer. Our service was great with Hannah... she made great recommendations and took attentive care of us while managing her section! 3 people, 2 starters, a few glasses of wine and 2 full meals, we spent about $125 before tip... The fried chicken was juicy and flavorful and so dang crispy... I loved this southern comfort spot and will rave about the chicken for weeks to come! We really enjoyed the sweet potato fries and the regular plus the honey sriracha sauce was our fave!! Can't wait to try brunch very soon! read more
