We had a good meal at Goodfolks! The best part, though, was our wonderful server, Morgan. She was efficient, a good problem solver, and just an nice person. read more

Goodfolks has quickly become a favorite restaurant of mine for delicious and affordable Southern food with great service! My husband and I stumbled into Goodfolks on a whim for dinner on a Friday night after bailing on another nearby restaurant with bad service. We are SO happy we did because we had an incredible experience from start to finish! We visited around 7:30 pm on a Friday night and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table for 2 with no reservations. FAST FACTS: * Parking - street parking available in the surrounding blocks * Reservations - available through OpenTable * Online ordering - available on their website for pickup or delivery * Closed Mondays and Tuesdays * Brunch available on Sundays from 9:00 am to 2:45 pm * Rewards system available where you earn 1 point for every $1 spent on food and receive a $10 discount for every 100 points you redeem SERVICE - Our server David was PHENOMENAL! He had a pleasant personality and took great care of us the entire time. Our food came out quickly and our drinks were consistently refilled throughout the meal. The manager even came by at one point to check on us and apologize because it was slightly warm in the restaurant. We were very impressed by the service! PRICING - The total was $64.95 after tax ($4.95) but before tip for the honey sriracha brussels sprouts ($11), honey butter biscuits ($8), Cajun chicken sandwich ($17), Nashville hot chicken sandwich ($16), side of good sauce ($0.50), side of spicy ketchup ($0.50), and small side of truffle mac & cheese ($7). For the portion size and quality of food, I thought the pricing was very reasonable! HONEY SRIRACHA BRUSSELS SPROUTS (7/10) - The honey sriracha flavor was good and not overly spicy but definitely caused the Brussels sprouts to be less crispy. I do love that $1 of every order is donated to the Williamson County Animal Shelter! I'd order these again but I'd love to try other appetizers first. HONEY BUTTER BISCUITS (8/10) - These were really good! They weren't greasy and were slightly on the drier side compared to some biscuits I've had but the overall texture was nice. You could see the lamination and layers and I love the square shape because the corners were a little crispier! We opted to dip them in the honey butter rather than pouring it on top... a little goes a long way! I'd order these again. CAJUN CHICKEN SANDWICH (9/10) - Fantastic sandwich! The brioche bun is super fluffy but stayed together the entire time. The chicken has a great crispy coating and the overall thickness was perfect. I wish it had a little more heat but it's definitely packed with flavor! It comes with a hefty portion of sidewinder fries which were cooked perfectly as well. I'd absolutely order this again! NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH (8/10) - Another great sandwich (although not spicy)! Just like the Cajun chicken sandwich, the bun is phenomenal and the chicken is flavorful and crispy. The slaw adds a nice element of freshness while the bread and butter pickles add some sweetness. I'd order this one again too! TRUFFLE MAC & CHEESE (8/10) - Great mac & cheese despite the truffle flavor not being super strong. The top few bites were a little dry (although the breadcrumbs on top were crispy and added a great texture) but once you dig into the cup, you get plenty of creamy cheese coating the pasta. I'd order this again. Considering I had never heard of Goodfolks, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was... honestly, it should be called "Greatfolks"! I'll absolutely be back (I want to try their brunch for sure) and will be recommending it to others! read more

My visit there today was so disappointing. This used to be a favorite restaurant of mine. The manager told us that their goal is to get food out quicker, hence the menu changes. Well, unfortunately I will not be returning. I don't mind ordering at the front, but bring back the old menu. The food was what made this place special. I ended up leaving because I didn't like anything on the menu. The fried chicken salad and homemade biscuits were my favorites. Everything my family used to order is no longer available. They have ruined what we all loved about this place. So sad! read more

We walked in and immediately was pleasantly surprised with the decor. Honestly, it's a little bit of a vibe, I liked it. They suggest that you make a reservation. I'm assuming this place must be kind of popular. It was around 5 when we arrived and it was a little warm in the dining room. We asked about it and they told us it was an old building. We decided to share the 4 piece chicken meal. It comes with 2 sides and two biscuits and we found it to be pretty filling. The biscuits are good and I ordered a side of honey butter. we decided to go with the mashed potatoes and the honey kale. The kale was not my favorite. The mashed potatoes more than made up for it. We also tried the fried pickles. We were worried since it comes with a sauce with jalapeños in it. We were worried it would be spicy. It wasn't and honestly it was so good we ordered more. At some point, I noticed that other patrons were getting blended drinks. I got jealous and ordered myself one of the peach sangrias.... It was delicious. It was so good. I would come back just for that. We say quietly while we wondered if we should order more chicken or end with dessert. We went with dessert, it was a strawberry cake with a vanilla sauce and ice cream. It was the perfect ending to our meal. I plan to go back and try more the menu. The only issue I had was that I felt the temperature in the restaurant could've been cooler. I will be back to try more of the menu! read more

We decided to make this our early dinner destination at 4 PM on a Tuesday. It was just us and one other customer in the place, so needless to say we had great service. It turns out that happy hour is Monday through Saturday, not W-Sat. We started off with a couple of beers and I got their four piece mixed chicken. I recommend avoiding their curled fries because I've had those same preformed previously frozen fries at other establishments and they taste cheap. They do have a very good drink menu with plenty of cocktails, craft beers and whiskeys, but not much in the way of wine. Their food menu is also quite varied, but not overly complicated and they even brought back some of their former items from the past. My fried chicken came out perfectly cooked and the coleslaw and mashed potatoes were exceptional. The two biscuits were a nice touch, but I did have to ask for butter. We did save room for their strawberry buttermilk cake which was the perfect finish. I like the fact that they drop the bill at the table as opposed to confronting you with a handheld device with those predetermined tips (no credit card fee either). I have to admit they definitely do many things well here which comes as no surprise, especially since the famous Monument Café is a block away as their main competitor. It's a place I'd come back to, just not on a busy Saturday. 10 photos included for more insight. read more

I decided to take a break and grab a bite in Georgetown before tackling some errands around town. I had to wait about 30 minutes, so I decided to explore the area. I came back around 25 minutes later and checked our status, and they just seated us right away. The restaurant is pretty narrow, so there's not much space between the booth and the table. But it's two stories high, so it's not too cramped. The food was pretty good, nothing really special. The chicken was moist, which is always a plus. I've had chicken sandwiches that were dry in the past. The service was okay. The wait staff was busy checking all their tables. They do take reservations if you're interested in trying this place. Just come a bit early on the weekend to find parking. read more

Your Yelper Girl here! My twin and I stopped here to eat after The Georgetown Swirl. We both ordered the 2 piece chicken tender meal with mashed potatoes. We also shared an order of Mac and cheese. The tenders were a BIT darker than we liked but still good. Everything was piping hot and yummy!! Definitely worth a visit. read more

They took a bunch of favorites OFF the menu. So maybe check online before heading there. My friend and I both used to love and recommend Goodfolks to lots of people, so we met there for lunch. We were both so disappointed in the menu changes that we left and lunched at Sweet Lemon Cafe instead. Big bummer. read more

Went to the restaurant at 10am to meet with friends from out of town. Server forgot to bring drinks, had to ask twice for our side salad. Only drip coffee available. Server only came once to refill drinks. Food was fine but nothing impressive. Once we finished our meal and were enjoying conversation, server came by several times to ask if we needed anything else, clearly trying to rush us to leave even though the restaurant was empty. Would not recommend. read more

Fast seating..cute place... Great food. I had breakfast...biscuits were delicious. Fried chicken my husband had looked so good. They gave us a piece of bread pudding For my brothers B-Day and Im not a dessert person.... But I will definitely be going back to order it. Our server Sophia was the greatest. We can't wait to go back. read more

As for looks goes I'd say this place is right on the dot with that! Walking in you're in Awh over how aesthetically pleasing this place is. From front entrance to the upstairs dining. I felt this was a perfect place to get together with a group of friends to talk and catch up. As for service I would say it was okay. It wasn't anything special which isn't a bad thing. Food, I personally feel that the food lacks seasoning. The tenders had no flavoring. They were fried perfectly but tasted like bland chicken and you really needed to drench it in sauce to provide the flavor that it was lacking. Mashed potatoes I felt were perfectly seasoned and should have shared some of that seasoning with the chicken. The soup was soup, it was a cold day and wanted something light and it did its job. The Biscuit was very soft and warm. read more

I really, really wanted to like this place. I met friends there for lunch. Our appetizer was good. The drinks were good. We all 3 ordered fried chicken plates and we each got a different side to we could taste them. Our fried chicken was overcooked. You could look at it and tell. We tasted it anyway. We asked the waitress to replace the chicken. She said she couldn't so we asked for the manager. The manager said that he couldn't replace our chicken because that would be too expensive ($45 worth he said (6 pieces)). He said that the new chicken would be the same because they cook it to temperature. We asked if the grease was clean and he said it was. We asked for the owner. We were told they were out of town. We asked for the phone number and they said they couldn't give that to us. My friend asked for an email. The manager left to go get the email. After that the waitress came back and stated they would cook us fresh chicken. It came out the same way. I don't know what they were doing, but they shouldn't be serving chicken that looks and smells like it was cooked it over-used grease. The sides were good (Mac n cheese, potato salad, and twisted fries). The biscuits were delicious and were homemade. The place has great decor and I liked it. I wish the manager on duty could have been a little more thoughtful. I also noticed other people who had ordered either fried chicken or tenders were not eating theirs, either. But they didn't complain. They just left it untouched, paid, and left. read more

I'm not from Texas but this is my 2nd time here and I definitely will be coming back. All the staff were kind and service was excellent. The food was great! My boyfriend would of liked his étouffée to have a little more of a kick of spice but that's just his preference. My salad was phenomenal; I finished everything.

We used to come to this place a lot, and it was genuinely one of our favorite places to get chicken tenders. We would bring family and rave about it! However, in the last couple of months, they've made a lot of noticeable changes to their quality of food and it's just a pass for us now. Chicken tenders are dry, Food just looks quickly thrown together with no thought, and most importantly the taste is overall lacking. Not sure what happened, but it needs to go back to the old good folks we used to know! read more

This place has gone downhill, food here used to be really good. The menu has changed in a lot of ways. I had the chicken and waffles plate which was authentic and delicious in the past but it now comes with small waffles that very well could have came from the frozen section of the grocery store (not made in the restaurant). Service was EXTREMELY slow. We never got our drinks refilled, never got our check, and didn't get plates or silverware and napkins with appetizers. Not great. The only thing going for this spot is the vibe and location. read more

We sat at the bar upstairs, because there was no wait time. Love that the bar is by itself upstairs which made it feel cozy. Shared three apps. Great and quick service. All three apps had a lot of flavor with a couple unique twists that sets them apart from other restaurants. Will definitely return. read more

The service was pretty good, but they forgot to bring my last min addition of a cup of chicken & biscuit soup that I ordered as an after thought after my sister in-law ordered one. They brought hers, but not mine, so I cancelled it as we already had our appetizers and I decided I wanted to save room for my meal. They ended up finally bringing it anyway with my meal. The food we ordered was just okay. I'd been here once before and had the chicken & biscuit soup and thought it was really good, but this time it was very much sorta blah. Both my sister in-law and myself were like "we make better at home ourselves". The chicken sandwiches are huge, and were good overall. read more

Always enjoy my visits to Goodfolks, great atmosphere for just a casual lunch or a nicer dinner. Southern comfort food is fantastic, love their biscuits to start, perfectly fluffy on the inside, with a buttery outside. Their sandwiches are very filling and flavorful, and I can't get enough of their fried chicken salad! Most importantly though is the waitstaff, they are attentive, kind, and as hospitable as can be! Special shout out to Shannon who served my friend and I for lunch, when my friend accidentally left his card, Shannon stepped out and brought it to him when we were walking the square. Really outstanding service, and just goes to show what kind of person she is! Service tends to be slower on busier nights, but that is to be expected. read more

Super cute place in Georgetown. I had seen pictures of the food on OpenTable, and everything looked phenomenal. We decided to go in for lunch last week, and sadly it was just okay. The chicken tenders were flat and not very flavored. The Nashville hot honey sandwich just tasted like honey, not hot at all (and I cannot handle any spice). However, the fries, ranch and kids grilled cheese were all delicious. I had never tried these type of fries before. They were like wedges but crispier and the texture was great. Our waiter was very kind and helpful. Hostess was very welcoming and friendly. I would go back to try something else on the menu! read more

This bright and cheerful addition to the Georgetown square is a great weekend brunch spot. Friendly service compliments a tasty menu. The salmon toast with sweet corn was delish as was the biscuit medley starter. Other hits at the table were the breakfast sandwich and the yogurt and fruit plate. Next time I come I'm going to try the french toast which looked great at a neighbors table! read more

Stopped at "Good folks" one Sunday morning. Located in downtown Georgetown, it's quite a popular spot. If I remember correctly, this was an upscale burger joint before. The place was plenty busy. Call ahead if you have two or more in your party and reserve a booth. I noticed a few booths were reserved down stairs. We sat upstairs and "Skylar" was our server. She gave us plenty of food recommendations as this was our first time. I had the Chicken and Grits, delicious and perfectly seasoned chicken tenders over maple grits and an amazing sarrachi maple syrup. The syrup had just the right amount of heat. The maple grits were a delight. Just the perfect balance of sweetness. Now I consider myself a grits connoisseur. But I usually eat them salty with butter. Never had them sweet or with sugar. Yet I truly enjoyed this meal, and would order it again. I would invite anyone in the Georgetown area to visit this location. I would consider it an add to my list of "favorites". Come see for yourself. Michael C. - Georgetown, Tx. read more

My husband and I come here on average once a week for the past ~4 months. The food and atmosphere is always 10/10 but the service is so hot and cold. It has become extremely frustrating. Today, we came in for brunch and had to go to the bar to ask for refills on water, we waited way longer than usual for our food to come which I understand maybe they have staffing issues but communication would have been great or a check-in while we waited for food. Our server walked right past us and made eye contact and didn't say a word about checking on our order. Then a runner brought us our food... yay! But didn't have any utensils. My husband walked downstairs and got silverware for us and requested additional sauce for my plate. Then, our server finally came with more water after about ~25 minutes of not stopping by to check in. We love this place but this has become the normal here and it is sad. We were here a few weeks ago and had a server that was fantastic, I wish I remembered his name. But other than that, it has been less than ideal service. Not sure this will be our go-to place anymore read more

service was amazing food had no taste what so ever the chicken fried steak had no taste the gravy had no taste the mash potato's had no taste the green beans tasted sour. the lemonade tasted like old chemicals. the restaurant smelled like they had a warm musky pond in the back it smelt like wet mold. but hey the service was amazing. overall the food i tried was horrible. it truly had no flavor at all. me and my family are very disappointed with how this place performed. read more

Free parking in the lot nearby or in front. The other surrounding stores don't seem to open until about 1:00PM if you are thinking of browsing and walking around. Visited goodfolks for brunch on a Saturday around 10:00. We had reservations but the place definitely had lots of tables available at that time. We were sat at this weird segregated table. It was a random table that was withdrawn from everything and near the service station. I had asked the hostess if we could go to a different table (there were several tables that were for two people that were empty--both to mention- an empty upstairs) that was a bit closer to civilization, and she said no. So we stuck it out. During our visit, someone told the hostess they had a big party (6-8 come in) and her jaw dropped and she rolled her eyes. Not very professional to show patrons. It seems like the vibes might've been the highlight..but I wouldn't know since we were in this weird area. It seemed like other people were having a good time when we saw them on our way in and out. Food was good-average. We got the Smothered Biscuit Flight, The Classic Breakfast, and The Breakfast Sandwich--which were recommended as the more popular items by our waitress. The maple sage gravy biscuit was my favorite out of the three, but my tastebuds lean more savory so not too surprising. My friend said classic breakfast was nothing special. I did not get much bacon on my sandwich but it was good; nothing to write home about but I wasn't mad. The hashbrowns and sidewinder fries were cold; hashbrowns tasting stale and sidewinder fries were as far from crispy as you can get. The best part of this experience was our waitress, Hannah, who was sweet and made sure to check in with us. Appreciate you, Hannah. Unsure if I would go through the trouble to revisit this establishment. read more

Lovely restaurant located on the Georgetown main square! We went for brunch and had great choices of cocktails, appetizers and entrees. It was our first time to try and we'll be back. The service was quick, friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean, bright and welcoming. Everything we tried was delicious: especially the brussel sprouts and fried chicken dishes. You can go wrong with a mimosa for brunch but they have lots of other great sounding cocktails to choose from. read more

The food is amazing - great taste and lovely set-up. I love the mezzanine floor. We had a 7.30pm booking and then when we got to ordering dessert we were told the kitchen was closed!!!! It would have been nice to have a 5 minute warning that we need to order dessert if we want it! Don't take bookings 30 minutes before you close if you don't have enough resources to allow them to experience your food. read more

After an event in Georgetown, my girlfriends were a little hungry. I reassured them that if we walked to the square, we'd find some good options. Goodfolks was the second menu we looked at, and we knew they would have something for everyone. We ended up mostly getting salads and soup, and appreciated the transparency of where they sourced their food. My tomato soup was delicious! I also got their pimento cheese, which was more of a smooth cheese spread. I liked it, but the flavor was strong, and it wasn't something I wanted to finish off on my own. We ended splitting a brownie sundae, which was a little cakeier than I prefer, but still yummy! I'll definitely make a point to come back here for a proper meal next time I'm hungry in Georgetown! read more

I wanted to love this restaurant SO much based on the other reviews, but it was just average...we made reservations for a Friday night at 6 and were seated right away! It seemed relatively empty when we got there, but definitely filled up quickly. However, the table where we were sat was RIGHT in the sun setting, so for almost 90 minutes the sun was right in my eyes. There was no cover or curtain and about 3 other tables were in the line of the sun. It did not make for a great experience! I ordered the two piece friend chicken. It was average tasting, but the Mac and cheese was good. We also ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken tenders had a strange taste to them, but the waffles had a good flavor. The biscuits were probably the star of the show! This was definitely a miss for us. Maybe it's someone else's jam, but for me it was a less than desirable experience! read more

My husband and I chose this place for a casual anniversary dinner, as we love walking around the square. The reservation process was easy, however, my note of requesting a more private table with good views was not only ignored, but we got sat at the worst table in the restaurant. It was in the middle of all of the landing spaces and it felt like a slight against my note. Our waiter David was friendly and welcoming, and everything was great, but service took a nosedive towards the end of our meal as they got busier. I really enjoyed the fried chicken salad, pimento cheese appetizer, and oh my, the strawberry cake dessert was to die for. Our drinks were okay, but overpriced for the size and finished product. I would like to go again for brunch and to try more menu offerings, and hopefully things will be a little better. read more

This was our first visit to Goodfolks, but it won't be our last! We joined 2 other couples (one of which is a Goodfolks "regular") for happy hour and an early dinner on a recent Friday. The service was great (thank you, Dave!), and we loved the food. The restaurant is on 2 levels and has an old-timey vibe that fits well with the historic building. Street parking was free and easy to find when we arrived at 4 pm. Happy hour meant half price appetizers and reduced cost beverages. Two of us had the wonderful frozen peach sangria. Our group shared appetizers of Brussels sprouts, fried pickles, and biscuits with honey. Goodfolks' claim to fame is their fried chicken, and 4 of us at the table got this in various forms like tenders, bone-in pieces, and atop a salad. The other 2 had salmon atop Caesar salads. For dessert, 2 couples shared huge brownie sundaes. The food was tasty, portions were good, and everything was reasonably priced. I had the fried chicken salad (pictured), and it was excellent. We will definitely be back, as this is a hidden gem. read more

Despite ordering fries with no salt they were smothered with salt. Matilda, the server maintained she had passed the order through correctly. I was offered alternative to fries but I had basically finished the rest of my mediocre chicken burger at that point, so I declined. If Matilda had passed on the requirement correctly, as she maintained, I am concerned the kitchen did not comply. I doubt I will return due to their disregard of customer requests. read more

Mediocre from the jump with a lukewarm greeting. Small note but the cables strewn across the cashier station show how little they care about appearances. Food was OK - egg sandwich was fine though the potatoes were lukewarm and obviously from a bag. My wife's eggs were quite undercooked with runny whites and had to be sent back (after tracking down our server). Manager mentioned they were short staffed and was obviously stressed. Not a good experience, won't return (sad too as it could be a fun spot) read more

Great service, good atmosphere. Our waitress was really attentive. That's where the good parts end unfortunately. The fried chicken was burnt and took a long time to come out. Biscuits were cold upon arrival. Sauces were meh. Reading more reviews now, it seems that the chicken often comes out burnt. We got the 4 pc, which unfortunately didn't include a leg or thigh, just 2 wings and 2 breasts, arguably the worst parts for a fried chicken. Sidewinders fries were very boring tasting and not very crispy, coleslaw was like soup. My fiancé said this is the worst place he's eaten in the Austin metropolitan area, which is saying something... he eats anything lol. We did hear the table over from us complaining about the burnt chicken and the server was having to discount it for them. Maybe that should have been a sign... Beer selection was also weak and expensive ($7-8), no cider on tap. Cocktail list is pretty unique though. Was pretty disappointed given the high reviews overall on Google and Yelp, but it appears it's either hit or miss there. Some reviews seemed more positive about the non-chicken items, but that appears to be the majority of their menu and a signature dish? :-/ Went on a Sunday for dinner. Would not return. read more
