MY REVIEW: BEST oyster rockefeller EVER...even had a pearl. Last time it wasn't hot, last night perfect...then, I had the "gumbo". It was a bowl of thick tan flour w/ 5 shrimp, 3 oysters and FISH. Was AWFUL, no visible okra, no taste of file. Will never order that again.

MY REVIEW: We called two days ahead for a party of 12, including some elderly family members and small children. We knew that we couldn’t get a reservation, but we were hoping that some accommodation could be made to minimize the wait—and if no accommodation could made, we would call another restaurant for our event. But Manager Doug told us that although it would be busy, he’d take our name and would “take care” of us to get us in ASAP. So we were surprised that, when we arrived early, we were told the wait would be at least an hour and that we had gained nothing by calling ahead. After 30 minutes of waiting, with no sign of ever getting a table, Doug finally appeared and acknowledged taking our name and said he recognized us from coming into the Goode restaurants a lot. But he said there was nothing he could do to ever get our party seated. When we asked Doug why he made these assurances in the first place, he assumed a surprising deer-in-the-headlights look, indicating that he was completely helpless to address the situation, and that our business really didn’t matter. We knew we were going to wait for our table, but Doug’s total indifference was remarkable. No apology, no I’ll get-right-on-it attitude, just an obvious desire for us to go away forever. Thankfully, a quick call to the nearby C*arrabba’s got us a table there almost immediately, and our family event was salvaged. We’ve enjoyed the food at the Goode restaurants for a long time, but this last experience demonstrated how the mighty are falling.

MY REVIEW: Nobody really knows my name, but I LOVE the crab gumbo here. The french bread that comes with meals is very flavorful. My favorite meal is the mesquite grilled catfish with fried shrimp (a combo meal) which I order with the side dish of seafood rice (has shrimp and crab in the rice) and also come with a freshly fried empanada. I've never been disappointed with the food, and I just tell the waiter "I'm ready for the check" and they are prompt and polite. Sometimes there is a wait, but there is a nice beer on tap selection and full bar. Never tried the desserts but my niece likes the chocolate pie.

MY REVIEW: We went on a Wed. night and had a party of 6. The hostess said it would be a 20-25 minute wait, so we waited and watched while all the smaller parties were seated. After 45 min. I asked when we would be seated and was told when the next large party was done eating. In other words, they don't push tables together. The manager was of no help and didn't care...only that their policy is that there is only one area for parties of 6 or more. We are finally seated and our waiter is running around and barely noticed our table. He took our order and we waited longer...it has now been an hour and 20 min. since we arrived. The waiter brought our entrees and then brought the gumbo afterwards... most restaurants do it the other way around! After bad service and not so tasty food, we had to leave an 18% gratuity...another reason why you shouldn't dine here if there are more than 4 people in your party. We'll stick to B*ayou City for great seafood.

MY REVIEW: Ordered the Fried Shrimp po-boy. Was very disappointed as it was small, had 5 small shrimp on it, and was layered with pico de gallo. Before I could finish the sandwich, the bread had gotten very soggy from the pico thus ruining the sandwich for me. Also ordered a side of fries -- The fries are good, but kind of pricey for such a small order. Overall, too pricey for the quantity and quality

MY REVIEW: Had lunch at Goode Company Seafood today and it reminded me of how really good Gulf fried shrimp and oysters can be. Usually get the fried flounder but they were out today. For starters, I had a dozen raw oysters on the half shell and they were very plump and clean tasting, some of the best I have ever eaten. Also had the Campenchana Extra with shrimp and crab and it is truly one of the most amazing tasting things I have ever eaten. My familly and I eat there every couple of months, usually on Sunday afternoons, but I always forget to tell people how good the food is.

MY REVIEW: Had been awhile since we had been here. Finally got the shrimp and crab Campecana - - and thought it was great. Like the diner-like atmosphere. Great service. Prices are a little high, particularly for lunch, but Goode always provides an enjoyable experience.

MY REVIEW: Service great. Food great. We really love the shrimp campecana and gumbo. However, and this is a big one, the same little "ice cream soda float" glass for campecana has now gone up to $11--way over priced for what you get and, for us, to eat there anymore.

MY REVIEW: My girlfriend and I LOVE this place. It is our favorite Sunday Gumbo spot. I consider myself a well traveled Gumbo lover and I place theirs somewhere in the top 3 (The Gum*bo Sh*op in N.O. is #1). The service is top notch! The bus service was amazing the guy was such a hard and efficient worker. Goode Company does such an amazing job of hiring people who WANT TO BE THERE! That goes so far in making the experience enjoyable.

Dont even think twice about enjoying ANY of the Goode Company places there on Kirby. They are an asset to the fine food in Houston. Keeping us one of the fattest (And happiest) cities in the US.

MY REVIEW: I was visiting in Houston and a friend took us to Goode's. I LOVED IT! Had the campechana which I had never heard of before. Wonderful! Had fried oysters with sides and everything was HOT! For dessert, had the pecan pie. One of my favorites and I would have to say it was the best I ever had. I have been checking campechana recipes online since my return to Maryland, looking for a good one to take to staff holiday party...and wishing I could visit Houston more often.

MY REVIEW: So, after seeing a FEW reviews bashing Goode Company, I felt the need to come to its' defense. First of all, with the exception of a few high dollar places, Goode Co is the best seafood in the greater houston area hands down. I have been a customer for over 15 years and I dread the day when I can no londer eat their food. Whats good there???? How about everything!!!! Although, I think their gumbo and grilled shrimp are my personal favorites. Anytime someone tells me they are new in town the first thing I tell them is to locate their nearest Goode Co and go as often as you can. Bottom line, all the Goode Co's are AMAZING - BBQ, Seafood, and my personal favorite - the Goode Co hamburger joint on Kirby and Westpark. Those are the best fajitas is the world. Also, Goode Co BBQ and Hamburger are two place that offer some of the best meals for under $10 you can find anywhere. Trust me, as a college student, I know. In closing, I swear on the bible that I give more of my money to Goode Co than any other restaurant group and you should too.

MY REVIEW: We were greeted very dryly and then seated! It was past 2pm and they were not busy---the waiters conversing behind the counter. A server brought 2 glasses of water and the waiter approached(Michael) and we asked for 2 glasses of Iced tea-- and a lot of lemon while we perused the menu. He left and came back with a bowl of lemon and no tea. We awaited for his return to take our order and I asked for tea once again before we placed our order. He brought the tea and we placed our order and asked for the side dish of seafood rice instead of Fries---well he brought the dinner out with fries---we didnt complain- we were busy talking so we finished the overpriced meal and tipped according to the service----waiter didnt pay attention when we ordered---they were too busy killing time with each other---the food quality was ok. We won't be returning to eat again.

MY REVIEW: Very slow service, had to ask several times for refills on tea. Food was luke warm when it was served, and the portions were small. Prices were on the high side for what you get. Based on my last visit to B*abin's in The Wooodlands, B*abin's is a better choice for seafood.....
