Good God, Nadine's

If you are looking for fresh organic and a great mix of flavors , Good god Nadine’s is the place to go. They make their food from the products of their own farm and the chef is sooo creative. I love their baked goat cheese with the great taste of grilled grapes and pecans. Their salads are made with fresh veggies of their farm served with a delicious dressing. Also their roast beef sandwich tastes like home cooked perfect sandwiches you can find. And you don’t want to miss their special guacamole, it is so delicious and new, never had a guacamole like that. Their cocktails are great and designed for all different tastes. Chef Kyle is an amazing chef and you can see everything he makes comes from his heart and experience. The staff are very nice and serve the food and cocktails without make you wait. I highly recommend Good god Nadine’s , definitely one of Houston’s top places to go.

Fresh, fun, and delicious! Great spot for fun cocktails and creative bites when you're feeling adventurous, but also cozy and comfortable featuring classic favorites making it an ideal neighborhood staple. The owners and staff members are welcoming and attentive. All of the dishes are assembled beautifully. The sesame guacamole, warmed goat cheese (topped with roasted grapes & candied pecans), and strawberry daiquiri (not too sweet) are my personal favorites...everything is super fresh and delicious. PS, my first review ever (not my comfort zone)...happy for this to be the first as these are good people with amazing talents.

Great new spot in the neighborhood! We stopped by for the $7 happy hour burgers and they were delicious! The fries are a very worthy $3 add-on. Make sure to get the aïoli as well. not drinking right now, so wasn’t able to try the cocktails, but they looked very good and the happy hour $7 offerings Seemed great as well. Inside is very nice, good atmosphere. Outside they have a covered semi enclosed patio as well as an open air section of the patio. Would be great if they were able to get some extra fans out there for the summer to increase airflow. We were informed by our server that they are still in their soft open right now, so that is likely why the service was maybe a bit spotty or slow, no fault in their own. All in all, happy hour burger is very worth it in my opinion. Can’t wait to check it out again!

Absolutely one of my favorite bars/restaurants. It's cozy and comfortable, while also hip and fun. The food is way more than elevated bar food. We've never had a dish we didn't love. The cocktails are creative, spicy, have lots of depth, and are pretty. Service is fantastic. I've been enjoying bringing all my friends! I think I need the "#1 fan" badge at this point :) Parking is easy. Vibe is spot on. Food & drinks are delicious. It's fun and sexy. Highly recommend and I'm just wondering how frequent is too frequent to return? :)

Excellent food and drinks. Donna was great! Kitchen seemed to be a little confused when it came to the oyster orders, but smash burgers came out quick! All the food was delicious! Oysters were really clean, meaty and smooth! Good job! And thank you for playing Joy Division!

Soft opening night from the Verdegreens team! Excellent experience! Atmosphere, service, food top notch. Few vegan options, just the crisp, tasty house salad, freshly made guac & chips, & deliciously spiced cashews. Unfortunately the fresh cut potatoes are fried in beef tallow, & cornbread has butter, so not vegan & not reviewed by me. My dinner companions enjoyed those & absolutely everything else. My Strawberry daiquiri really hit the mark; freshly scratch made, no syrupy or powdered mix. Chic, comfortable environment, indoor booths, tables, bar stools. Large front patio/porch for outdoor seating. Tree lined street, helps with outdoor shade. Ample free parking lots. Attentive table service. Smooth music, good vibes. Farm to table companion restaurant Farmstand, on adjacent property will be opening soon.

Met some cool people here at the bar, had their peach smash and old fashion and definitely good drinks! The service at the bar was amazing. I'll definitely be back! Heard good things about the oysters and took home two orders of their smoked wings which were a nice size and tasty! Go try em out!

I got to eat at Good God, Nadine’s yesterday. I was super excited to see new life at the old Darwin’s Pub building on Waugh that has been closed a while. Nadine’s has super friendly staff and amazing food! I ordered the Debris Po-boy. The french bread was fresh and spot on. The braised beef was delicious. The food menu is on the small side but per our waitress, they will be adding more items to it soon. They also have a large outside eating area that is dog friendly. I cant wait to go back! Side note: their sign outside advertised “mild cursing” We did not experience any, maybe next time! 😊

This unassuming spot caught my eye a few times while driving down Waugh, and after studying the casual yet thoughtful Gulf Coast-centered menu online I knew I had to pay a visit! M. and I swung by on a lazy Saturday evening and were delighted at all the available parking spaces surrounding the building (I had to read the signs a few times but you're in no trouble as long as you aren't going to Truth next door). All the tables inside were already occupied, so we opted instead to enjoy golden hour on the covered patio. Our pleasant server followed up quickly and took our "eyes bigger than stomach" order - here's my thoughts on what we tried: Sesame Guac - This Tex-Mex favorite draws East Asian inspiration from nutty sesame oil, crispy shiso crunch, and shattering prawn crackers and wonton chips. It's a great starter to share to start off a full meal or just something to nibble on while nursing a strong drink. Matagorda Pearl oysters - These lovely ocean beauties were the perfect balance of briny, tender, and fleshy - so easy to slurp down! They come with cocktail sauce, a tart mignonette, and fried saltines, but they're just as good on their own as they are with the provided accoutrements. Come during happy hour to get 6 for $8! Shrimp Po-boy - Delicious crusty bread, lightly battered shrimp, and crisp lettuce - there's not much more you can ask for in a po-boy. I will say it was a little on the drier side, so next time I might ask for a little extra mayo for myself. Do yourself a favor and add on the beef tallow fries, which have a wonderful bite and fluffy texture! Cocktails - The drinks here remind me of those at Winnie's and Betelgeuse Betelgeuse - they're fun, punchy takes on classic cocktail combinations at the standard 2025 price ($11-15). I enjoyed my creamy Mango Sticky Rice but am looking forward to trying the Carajilla or Pearadise on my next visit :) In short - Good God, Nadine's is so much better than good! I'm excited to support the restaurant's farm-to-table ethos and hope to drop by again for happy hour (and the soon-to-be-added Sunday brunch!)

Good God Nadine's is a quirky place. It gives you the vibe that the whole interior looked better on the architect's sketch than in real life. The pictures on the wall are--at least in my mind--not really connected to the overall theme, which, in turn, is not recognizable. The colors, forms, and designs are plenty. But that kinda works. They're very new and need some more time to give the room, the ante-room, and the porch a lived-in feeling. Food? Astonishing. Perplexing. GGN (Good God Nadine's) offers both very basic and more upscale food--nicely presented in (of course) variably colored dishes. You wouldn't want to have it differently. The service is a little slow. That will change over time and is not a big deal. A big deal is THE FOOD. Bear with me for a second. I expected normal, new American food with lots of cheese and fried, home-cooking, heart-attack-and-diabetes-inducing feel-good kitchen. So, naturally, I ordered a smash burger. Taking the first bite was literally the same as John Belushi seeing the light in the church when James Brown sings. And... I saw the light. The burger was simple perfection--medium rare, right amount of cheese, pickles, sauces. To my surprise, the fries were even better. Fried in beef tallow. A real treat: old-fashioned, perfectly crunchy, perfectly colored, juicy fries. What a delight. And the oysters--although out of season--tasted spectacular. The trimmings nicely laid out and very pleasant to the palate. The staff is very welcoming and professional. And, not to forget, the barkeep knows his trade. The crowd came from all backgrounds and ages--interesting for a bar with this name. The path from five to four stars lies in the slightly disjointed ambiance and a few aesthetic or conceptual inconsistencies that momentarily distract from an otherwise stellar culinary experience. I wish them Godspeed and loads of loyal customers. GGN could become a real diamond.

The busiest Friday night yet per our waitress for this new farm to table restaurant concept in the Heights. Think hipster yet moody vibes, large outdoor patio, great music and seating options. Aiming for a chill but elevated date night or group hang w friends near this area? Perfect. The restaurant is visually stunning inside with dark teal walls and many different oversized paintings hanging on either end and of a gorgeous bar which greets you from the main entrance. Kinda felt like I was eating at a museum in the French history room. Limited menu but we liked what we tried: skillet cornbread w trout roe, crab dip, burger w their beef tallow fries, and the blackened redfish poboy. The cornbread was great, not a fan of the trout roe tho as it overpowered the bread for me. The crab dip seemed really low on crab. It just seemed like your good ol' regular cream cheesy dip. Burger was very good. Fries even better. The blackened redfish in the poboy was delish but really skinny pieces. Service did seem to struggle to meet demand this night however I would say we felt it improved as the night went on. Upon entry we did not see booth to check in and we were told to sit anywhere at the bar. Self seated at a table meant for a group but was more private, and felt this was a mistake when I realized other larger groups were walking in and noticed several wait staff peering at us. But it turned out ok. Waited a while to get our drinks etc. Parking note: small lot right outside but we were lucky to find a spot right away. Overall it was a good night, drinks were all on point. Hopefully will try this again when they expand their menu as the waitress mentioned they'll be updating regularly as all ingredients are sourced through owners connections with local farms. Go check it out!

4.75 s (mostly for street...not within the establishments control) Last minute dip into Nadines. I would say it's walkable but these streets aren't. Smallish parking but we went right after work, so no issues. I do rec ride share if you're planning on enjoying a few cocktails. The roads can be hairy. Plenty of drink options. Husband went with a Whistlepig OF and I chose a frozen T&T (tequila & tonic) to cool off, both tasty & refreshing. For edibles we went with the HH oysters & salad, and smash burger & fries. Restaurant aesthetic is eclectic. Love the combo of wood and ceramic tile, beautiful glassware, and plates! And loved the gallery art display. All so pleasing to the eye. Definitely recommend a stop in for a bite or a drink.

This was such a laid back, cute atmosphere! I loved it! The drinks were delicious. I got the Houstonian and pearadise which were both amazing. The pearadise drink was a bit too sweet for my liking though. I shared plates with some friends and the biggest hit was the goat cheese! We also had the chicken wings which were so flavorful, French fries with beef, and a burger. Everything we had was absolutely delicious!

I was surprised at how busy this place was on the inside and in the covered patio. We were able to be seated right away. Place is nice and clean. Staff are friendly. We ordered the hot crab dip and the redfish po boy. They were out of redfish so we went with the debris po boy. The crab dip was ok, mushy with melted cheese on top, small bits of crab. The po boy condiments made the poboy very soggy, we would've enjoyed the meat with rice and carrots and potatoes instead. Menu is a bit small, can't say there's anything on the menu I would want to rush back for. Glad I at least tried it.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat before the theater and was pleasantly surprised. It was happy hour and we were seated promptly. As soon as we were seated we were greeted by our server. We ordered off the happy hour menu and had 1/2 dozen raw oysters that were super fresh along with a smash burger and fries. Good food and great service.

Excited about this spot! Parking was easy and it was crowded when we got there at 6:45 pm on a Friday night. Immediately got a seat and were greeted by a nice waitress and some waters. We got some drinks that actually didn't take long thankfully like some places do. We ordered the goat cheese appetizer and wow the focaccia was delicious with the dip. We then ordered a shrimp poboy and a smash burger and it was all so good! We did get an extra side of Cajun-mayo mix that's in the poboy because it didn't come with any other sauce. The fries we had were delish!! Very salty but really good. I think this will be a great spot for groups where some want to eat and some want to drink and watch games, especially on their patio once the weather is nicer. Will def be back!

The service is spectacular! Our server was tremendous. So attentive with attention to detail and anticipation of needs The atmosphere is chill with incredible 80s music. The sound is on point too. The food is truly outstanding. Locally sourced and made with caring hands. I hope they can retain this excellence as they grow. Absolutely the best crab dip ever! The hand pressed burger for $7 at happy hour is a dream. They just lose money on this. Then, drumroll, please, the beef tallow French fries. OMG!

Stopped by on a casual night out with friends, and it turned into a great evening. The vibe was easygoing but stylish -- indoors had a cool, intimate feel, while the patio felt like the kind of place you could hang for hours. The Mango Sticky Rice cocktail really stood out -- smooth, tropical, and laced with pandan that gave it an edge I didn't see coming. The crab dip hit all the marks: warm, creamy, and addictive. And the Brussels sprouts? Funky in the best way -- perfectly cooked with bold seasoning that made them hard to ignore. I'll definitely be back. Nadine's feels like one of those places you return to often -- because it gets everything just right.

Great place for drinks and a bite to eat. The food and drink menu is diverse. There is a nice little happy that goes until 7:00. They offer beer and wine on tap. The inside is dark to not too dark. The seating choices are bar, high top or low to tables. The large patio is also and option. The staff was great. Enrique and Donna took great care of our group.

Friendly service melds with great gulf coast cuisine in a relaxed but classy environment. The oysters were briney, the tallow fries crisp and reminiscent of what fries used to taste like. The poboy was solid.. a rarity in Htown. Do yourself a favor and drop in.

Cute bar with food. Enter through the orange doors at the front. Free parking on the side

The drinks, food, and service were fantastic! I also love how they decorated the place. We will be revisiting this place asap!

Find new farm to table restaurant. Ambience was great, service with Moe was wonderful. Food was really good. Had the smash burger, the goat cheese, Fish, poor boy and the sesame guacamole. All good. Would definitely go back.
