Overall a great place. Great service , clean, fresh food, reasonable prices. I would have given it 5 stars but I asked for a med. rare burger and got a well done , it was tasty but not what I ordered. Seems like they had some good deals if you come between 3-6pm. Worth a try if you are in George Town center. read more

Smash burger as great. Cocktails tasted great, ambience was relaxing. I recommended this restaurant.

Back to being the best restaurant in Georgetown! They are slowly reintroducing the "classic" menu of red meat; wonderful experience today as usual here! I'm very excited to put this back on my regular rotation; Thank you Jayden for the wonderful service today as well! read more

Pretty good. Short wait for a table, and our server was pretty attentive. My only complaint is that I ordered iced coffee black, and it tasted sweetened. He argued with me and said I wasn't used to their coffee. Uh, I drink iced coffee all day every day, and I think I know what sweetened tastes like! I ordered the bacon jam fried rice & 1/2 Caesar salad. Both were pretty good, but the Caesar salad had a strong anchovy taste & was dressed pretty heavily. My friends ordered andouille sausage lollipops & the chicken tender basket. Both were happy with it. Cute place, a bit pricey, but nice to bring visitors to. read more

The restaurant is beautiful and service is perfect. The soups are so good, as are their burgers and appetizers. Don't miss the happy hours! We like to tip for the full price of the food on the happy deals as they are a steal at half price. I love this restaurant!!! read more

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. The service was great. Everyone from the hosts to the servers were very kind. I really like the design of the space it's very open and inviting. The food tasted pretty good as well. read more

It felt too crowded and plus it's not in a decent location where people would find it right away.

The service was awesome. The ambiance was very nice. The food? It was our first visit, so maybe we picked the wrong things or maybe it was an off day??? The fried chicken was more highly seasoned than I can really tolerate, but the "fried rice with vegetables" had no seasoning at all. Salting water for rice, as with pasta needs to taste almost like sea water or the pasta or rice will be bland. It was a shame really. We've wanted to try this place for a long time. Will we again? Maybe? read more

It started out poorly. We had to wait 25 minutes for our fried chicken to cook. I guess it took time to heat the fry oil. I ordered fried chicken of two thighs and got one thigh and a drumstick. The mac and cheese was very dry and was charged and extra $2 for it. On the Side dishes listing It didn't mention which sides were free with your platter. My sister ordered fried chicken salad and requested Honey Mustard dressing but, when the salad came it already had Ranch dressing on it. I will never go back. read more

Goodfolks and good food! Great location if you're in the area with friends or family. Don't be turned away if you think the wait is long. For our party of 2 we waited half an hour which gave plenty of time to walk the square while waiting. Inside is nice with two levels of dining. We sat upstairs and I was a little weary since we were right against the ledge with tables directly below us. Service was quick and I'd recommend this place to others. ORDER Brussel sprouts - Start French Fries Mac Trufle- Bench Biscuits- Cut Esquites Chicken and Waffles Prices are fair for the portions served and I'm sure the drinks are good too. Give them a shot if you're looking for some good chicken and waffles. read more

Goodfolks yeah (great staff), Good food... Not so much. I tried the Patty Melt today for lunch served with fries. The fires were great but the patty melt was not as good as I expected. I'd been here before and I remember the food being better than this trip. The issues with the patty melt were numerous, but specifically, cheap cheese, and hardly any other ingredients on it. Overall balance of flavor was completely elementary. Looked like some 1st graders made grilled cheese and stuck a meat patty in the middle. If you want a good Patty Melt, I don't recommend Goodfolks. I sat at the upstairs bar and the service was good. read more

Not good at all so we stopped in for late breakfast early lunch I ordered the smash burger for $14 I thought the price was very reasonable but the burger I was served was lacking in Quality and was definitely not a smash burger the one it the picture looked amazing it was definitely photo shopped the undercooked french fries/potato wedges were greasy, soggy and covered in so much salt. I could not eat them. I was going to send them back but I think the waitress went into hiding after she delivered our food because I never seen her again until we received our check , my wife ordered bacon eggs, and it came with potatoes. Some sort of toast looks like somebody stepped on it, when the waitress bought our food to the table my wife asked could I get some jelly please and she said I don't know if we have jelly. I'll have to look about five minutes later she returned to the table with one packet of jelly, the eggs were overcooked. My wife ordered them soft the potatoes came out pretty good. The bacon had no meat on it at all just a bunch of fat and sliced so thin you could see right through it. I finally got the waitresses attention and had her bring the bill over which I quickly paid without a tip and ran out of there and headed to the place down the street to get a cold refreshing drink because I guess in this restaurant you don't get your drink refilled. Needless to say we won't be back. I've had better breakfasts and lunch out of a vending machine. read more

The chicken didn't disappoint! I would agree this is there best item on the menu and probably what keeps people going back. I also had the mashed potatoes and truffle Mac. Both were good but the Truffle Mac and Cheese could have used more cheese (thicker texture as well). I was disappointed by the mini biscuits with honey. The honey was runny and the biscuits not flavorful and slightly dry. All in all a good experience and would recommend the chicken. read more

Not going to leave a detailed review as I did that on Open Table and got a SUPER snarky response from the owner. I posted the PROS as well as the cons but apparently constructive criticism is not welcome. Suffice to say the chicken is very good and everything else is mediocre. I personally will probably not go back based upon the owners immature response to an honest review. read more

Awful rude service, hostess deleted our reservation while we were waiting to be seated. They clearly didn't want to serve us and didn't want to serve any other parties for the rest of the afternoon. Never go to this place, rude staff and waste of time. read more

Review update: The restaurant responded to another review calling this fake news saying that I was offered a 10% discount and a free dessert. Simply, I was offered so such discount. As for the free dessert... While I would not necessarily expect it, my child would have received that anyhow if the restaurant honored the reservation in the first place. I know this because I got one when I went there several weeks prior for my birthday where several hundred dollars were spent. Keep in mind that some responses to reviews are fake news. I have to say that the food is good. I love the chicken. Seriously, I do. But, let's face it, chicken isn't everything. I booked a family dinner for my son's 14th birthday. Goodfolks was the one and only place he suggested for his celebration dinner. I made reservations well over a week in advance with a clerk on the phone and immediately received a text message confirmation that the reservation was set. Upon arriving for the reservation, we were told that it was cancelled as the restaurant was sold out for a wedding, apparently booked several weeks before I reserved my table. The manager told me that I was supposed to have received a text about it, but I was able to show him that the only communication I received was a confirmation. He assured me that night he would contact me to make it right. Fast forward a couple of weeks with no communication and I called back. The same manager told me he didn't know how to make things right and he couldn't go back in time to prevent the reservation from being made. Nice. If it were me, I'd feel terrible for ruining a kid's birthday dinner and earnestly make it right. But, what do I know? I think it's important to be decent to people (especially children) and provide good customer service to people. Bottom line: Sure, come for the chicken, but make sure you can waste an evening with nothing important to celebrate on the line because they just won't care. read more

We have never been first time! Seated right away, ordered our drinks came right away. Ordered our food now that took quite some time to get, but the food was good. A bit pricey for chicken. Not sure if we will be back. read more

My husband came here for lunch on a whim. The place is so cute! Our server was so lovely. We love fried pickles, so we had to try them here. They were perfect for dipping. The pickle-to-batter ratio was good. I had the veggie and meatball soup and Caesar salad. The soup was so flavorful with veggies, and the meatballs were a great addition. My husband loves fried chicken, and he was excited to try it. It did not disappoint. There was also a spicy ketchup that was a tasty condiment. read more

Goodfolks has potential. I went here for a dinner with my spouse on a Sunday evening. We had a reservation and were promptly seated. It's an adorable space in a historic building; right now it's even lightly decorated for the holiday season. What made our visit feel just a little "off" were the details. Firstly, they only serve brunch on Sundays. This would make sense for your typical morning-to-early-afternoon weekend crowd, but for 7:00 p.m., it just wasn't what we were craving. We would have loved to have tried their dinner options. A note on the menus: they were pretty grimy (leftover crumbs and smears), which, needless to say, didn't make for a great first impression. We started with the fried pickles. They were delicious, and I would order them again. For entrees, I went for the patty melt, my spouse chose the chicken sliders. Both were good and served in hearty portions, though they were simple and lacked in creativity. For drinks, we had a mule and their "old town fashioned." They do the classics well. Our server was kind, cheerful, and full of energy; impressive as our time at the restaurant was near to closing. He was very knowledgeable about his workplace and informed us about their daily happy hour as well as the all-day happy hour on Tuesdays. Overall, Goodfolks is a casual restaurant with no-fuss comfort food, good cocktails, and, apparently, a pretty generous happy hour schedule. I could see this being a place I would return for drinks and snacks on a weeknight, but I wouldn't return for a nice dinner to impress. read more

The food was good but the grits were FANTASTIC. The greens tasted like my moms and the waitstaff was good

I was out and about. I needed something to eat and happen to run across this place. Has the great café vibe. All the usual suspects on the menu was clean fresh hot. I enjoyed my meal and customer service was great. Just a good down-home place to eat. Service was excellent. read more

We usually go to First Watch for brunch on Sunday but decided to try this place instead, and the service was terrible, and the food was ok. The place was open and airy, had a chill vibe, and the location was superb, right off Georgetown square. Upon entering, our party of 4 was seated right away as it was pretty empty downstairs. We were greeted a few mins after being seated. We ordered 4 regular coffees, Brussel sprouts, and the biscuit sampler. The Brussel sprouts came before the coffee, and the biscuit sampler never arrived. The coffee came, and we noted we were without spoons. We asked for them and were given spoons that were the size of the cup! The interesting thing - is when we asked for smaller spoons, our server asked are they too big?!? She must not drink coffee, or this brunch place must not have normal-sized spoons! We also had to ask for plates to share the appetizers. The brussel sprouts were delicious, and if I went back, I would actually order them again! For brunch, we ordered 3 salmon toasts, the Chipotle Egg Skillet, and the strawberry shortcake waffles. The salmon toast was messy and not really that flavorful. It tasted like a lot of cream cheese on regular bread with small amounts of smoked salmon and salad heaped on top! The egg skillet was described as eggs simmered in chipotle tomato sauce and ended up being over easy eggs served with heated tomato sauce poured over the top served in a skillet! The eggs were pretty runny, so we sent them back to be better prepared. The waffles were ok - they tasted like regular thin waffles smothered in strawberry sauce - not sure where their shortcake part came in... After we got our main dishes, we asked about the biscuits, and then our server realized they didn't come, so someone then brought it out promptly. The biscuits were fairly good. We also had to ask for coffee refills and that seemed like a chore! The server looked around like she wasn't sure if there was more coffee or something. I kinda feel like if you're serving brunch - coffee would be something that a person would have to ask for - kinda like water! Once we were done and got the check, we noticed that the server did remove the biscuits from the bill, which was a nice touch. But overall, I don't know if it was just the poor service, lack of adequate descriptions of the food or what but this was not a great first time experience! read more

Good folks in Georgetown is very good!! We've been a few times and it has never disappointed. They do change the menu quarterly and currently have no red meat but what they have is fantastic. we have the Nashville hot sandwich, the barbecue shrimp, and the roasted brussels sprouts all amazing. The drinks were great too! Goodfolks is a cute restaurant on the corner in Georgetown. It also has an upstairs bar area with TVs so you can watch sports. The drinks are great. The food is great. Definitely recommend. read more

Went here for breakfast with wife and it was fantastic. We didnt have a reservation and were immediately sat but it was pretty crowded so probably best to have one. We shared the biscuit sampler and i had coffee and wife had a bloody mary. All the biscuits were great, i really liked the maple butter but wife preferred the gravy. They were all very flaky inside but still crunchy outside. I had the traditional breakfast its hard to make eggs over-medium but they nailed it. Wife had a grandmas favorite which she loved as well. Service was fantastic as well, everybody hustling on a Sunday morning. read more

We used to go here every week or so, but a few months ago the management changed. Their customer service has gotten progressively worse, and their food has fallen a bit too. I read with interest Lee's review. How hard is it to comp a meal or give someone a coupon for a few dollars when you've obviously failed? If a manager doesn't know how to comp something for his customers, then he's not a very good manager - I'd even say that he has no experience in the restaurant business! Mistakes happen - WHAT a company does afterwards determines if they value their customers. read more

This time I had the bowl of chicken biscuit soup! The perfect thing for a cold rainy day! It's similar to chicken and dumplings without the mush! So yummy! My hubby had the chicken and waffles. The serving is huge! You can smell the sweetness of the waffles! The blend of sweet and savory is fantastic! read more

Tried to eat here on a Friday night. Restaurant was halfway full. We had a group of 4 and were told the wait was 45 min for a table.

This is a wonderful place to visit if you are near the Georgetown area! We had dinner here and it was delish! We got drinks, appetizers, and dinner! It was a tasty outing for sure! My husband and I started off with the Goodwater and Locket Key both were refreshing and delicious beverages. We also started with the queso and meat lollipops. Both were also great! I think the queso was a bit spicy for my taste so if you are not one for spicy I would not get it. They also have the small yummy ice for their water! I was delighted to see that! The ambiance is lovely, even though we were seated on the second floor it was a fun environment to dine in! We then moved on to the entrees. I got the buffalo chicken gnocchi and my husband ordered the fried chicken. As his side he got the esquites which was very tasty! Our server was kind and helpful! Parking was somewhat hard to find but wherever you park you can get there easily! There was no wait but as soon as we were seated for about ten minutes, we noticed the place fill up quick! I would love to come back here for breakfast sometime to see what they have to offer! read more

2nd visit ever and I have to say less impressed today with food. The service was out of sight dynomite, but the food was blah. I ordered the chicken fried steak which wasnt good. It was chewy and almost seemed like meat that was frozen then thawed fast to cook. The texture wasnt good. I ordered it w gravy on side and it was delivered on top (no big deal, *happens) but I wish I didnt send it back. The original order was soft scrambled eggs w gravy on side. Upon corrected order, eggs that looked originally soft and fluffy were redelivered flat, hard and rubbery. Then the steak was just ughh with its chewyness, to add salt to injury the potatoes were cold. I immediately thought the potatoes were from first order scraped to new order. Lastly, mimosas are $7 why was I charged $9? Once again not a reflection on staff whom were really good. I just couldnt send a plate back 2nd time. Goodfolks I still love ya and off days happen. I just know not to order eggs and chicken fried steak again. I'll stick to your claim to fame..chicken! read more

I had heard great things about Goodfolks and came excited to try some great chicken. Brought my kids also as they are all chicken connoisseurs. We came before the dinner rush and got seated right away which was great. The layout is nice and clean, and our server was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately those were probably the highlights. Between 4 of us we tried the various forms of chicken from bone in to strips to chicken and waffles. The bone in chicken reminded me basically of original recipe kfc at twice the price. All the forms of chicken had a loose batter that barely stays on the chicken and the chicken itself is extremely bland. My son did enjoy the waffle that came with the chicken. Unfortunately given the prices here, this place is a no for me dawg! read more

These were the best biscuits and gravy I have had in years. Overall, this place is just KILLING IT. We had intended to go to Monument Cafe (a Georgetown staple), but the wait was an hour and a half. Monument is the real deal but we needed brunch. So we walked over to Goodfolks and were immediately seated. The location is perfect - right on the edge of the downtown square. Cool outside look, and an actual breathtaking interior. The two story, corridor layout lends to a real French Quarter feel inside. Our server, Jered, came right over with ice waters and got our drink orders. Great vibe for a Sunday brunch, for sure. Jered returned with our mimosas and made a joke about how he'd just learned the trick for walking down stairs and not spilling drinks, which is a very important for having Sunday mimosas. He kept us entertained and the service was excellent. I got the biscuits and gravy because I'd been burned my last few attempts. The plating was an awesomely layered stack of oily gravy, seared quarter sized links, fresh flaky biscuits, and a fluffy egg on top. *Chef's kiss* delicious! My wife and our friend got the chicken and biscuits soup, and they both really enjoyed it. A real creamy layered flavor with chunks of tender chicken and again the fluffy biscuits. Can't wait to come back here. The place has great bonuses: low tables, they sell cool merchandise, plus delicious kitchen smells and impeccably clean bathrooms. The Georgetown square is great, too! Grape Creek Vineyards wine club is down the block, and we highly recommend the shops. read more

Impromptu choice for dinner, but I had been meaning to try this place for months! I knew it would be right up my country man's alley, so it was a no brained! We were seated upstairs and our server, Gracie (southern hospitality in human form), took us through the menu and made recommendations based on our likes. I started with the chicken and biscuit soup, which I shared with Kelly. We both loved it! Creamy and chock full of tender chicken, fresh veggies, and chunks of buttermilk biscuit. A cup was plenty for us because it is so rich! For dinner, he had the two piece chicken with a hearty serving of potato salad, which was really good, and I'm not usually a huge fan of potato salad, aside from my mom's. The chicken came with their come back sauce and the biscuit had a side of honey butter, courtesy of Gracie's recommendation. That honey butter would be good on anything! My boyfriend said it reminded him of when he was a boy and his mama would take fresh cream and mix it with molasses. As an aside, isn't it great when a meal can transport you to a cherished time in your life! I had the starter fried catfish with jalapeño remoulade since I was already feeling full from the soup. It was the perfect size, and I even shared a couple of bites with Kelly. The catfish tasted very clean and fresh! Lightly crisp with a cornmeal crust. I loved it! We are looking forward to returning to try some of the other menu items. Good food for good folks!! read more
