Good Eats Southern Cuisine

Scoped the location via social media. The wait time was excessively long, too long to be honest. A few mishaps with the order placed, some miscommunication on the stores end. The macaroni wasn’t creamy as described. Turkey Wing was tender and cooked well, Yams had a sweet taste. Will try other menu options in the future.

I lucked up and found them online. I ordered oxtails but it was Friday. Oops, no oxtails on Friday. I was called and we discussed canceling my order. I went to the restaurant and the sweetest couple asked how we wanted to handle the ticket. Found out he was smoking oxtails on Saturday so I said hold my ticket until tomorrow. So I got me some fried ribs. And my baby got grilled talapia. Baby those ribs had me making them good food moans. Went back Saturday and got my smoked oxtails. Baby I was supposed to call, but I got the sho nuff Itis after that and passed out!!! That cornbread oh man, I need an extra piece next time. The food is seasoned without being salty. I found a new gem!! I will be back with my family!!! Small family place. But worth the drive.

Leaving work I was craving some good soul food. Went on Google search, read a couple reviews on other restaurants and came across this gem. I made an UberEats order , but for whatever reason it canceled my order. So I called them made my order over the phone.The older gentleman to the front is an absolute delight! I originally ordered the fried ribs with rice and gravy with Mac and cheese, then I spotted their parfaits and banana pudding (definitely worth trying). Got in my car just to do a little taste testing and babyyyy this is definitely your grandma’s home cooking!!!! The food is super flavorful and made fresh!! I will definitely be back!!

This is the most delicious southern cooking that I've ever eaten, besides my own. My fried pork chops were large, crispy & juicy. My family's 2 huge fillets of fried fresh Red fish was seasoned just right in crunchy tasty batter. We had creamy potato salad, mac & cheese, fried okra and fried corn on the cob. I can't pick which was the best. The ladies taking care of us put love that good and it definitely showed. All for $20 a person. Thanks for having us, we can't wait to return.

Hidden gem on Almeda. The food is fresh and cooked to perfection. All of the staff is welcoming and will make sure that you are taken care of. We ordered the pork chop sandwich, fried seafood plate, fried okra and the seafood gumbo. I am always hesitant to order "restaurant" gumbo but I was assured this was made from scratch and it was. There were large lumps of crab and crab claws inside of my 16 oz portion. I usually take pictures of my food but everything was so good that we forgot to get pictures before digging in. I would recommend Goode Eats to anyone looking for some authentic soul food in the Houston area. You can expect friendly staff, delicious food and a great atmosphere which is hard to come by these days. Thank you for a great experience!

The food was very delicious and will remind you of back home. With that in mind do not expect quick service. Everything is made to order. Don’t skip the desserts. The banana pudding, hands-down is incredible .This place is small but a great place for lunch or brunch with a few friends.

3/7 lunch time. Came to dine in. Ended up getting to go. Not gone lie the food was GOOD. I had gumbo/cornbread and BF had the fried catfish/dirty rice/broccoli casserole. Omg that cornbread was 🔥 Buuuuuuuut it took over 45 mins to get our food. Couldn’t eat there. Had to go. Only have so much time for lunch break. Next time I know for sure to CALL AHEAD and order on phone first. Also customer service was good, a lil slow but Mr. Man was very friendly, playful and funny.

This place I thought had so potential, was on vacation leaving out and wanted soul food ..we waited 35mins…. I got the meatloaf cabbage and buttery mash potatoes. My meatloaf looked like jail meatloaf and it was cold the mash potatoes was so good . And cabbage had no taste . Hard pieces. My husband got the baked chicken which was cold ! The chicken was cold.

This a hidden gem! The dining area is very nice and the staff is amazing. I ordered the turkey necks, yams and greens, along with the Tuesday 2 piece fried chicken special. First, let me start by saying the fried chicken is only 2nd to my mom's. It was perfectly fried and full of flavor. The turkey necks were perfectly seasoned, and OMG. the greens were amazing. I almost forgot to mention the cornbread it's probably the best cornbread I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Great experience!

My friend and I are always on the search for a good Sunday breakfast. I don't think we will be searching for more places, this is it. Everything is good. I had the signature breakfast with catfish, my buddy did the same but with pork. Both were equally great. And the GRITS, soooo good. I'll be back to make my way through the menu.

Ordered the Seafood creole gumbo & a fried ribs plate for takeout. Each item was delicious and fresh. I haven't been going out to eat because so many restaurants have been mediocre to say the least or the only seasoning they know is salt. Glad I saw this place and finally decided to oder lunch. I didn't get their names but the customer service was warm and welcoming. I felt like I and my food was in good hands. They had the cake parfaits sitting on the counter and I couldn't resist. The woman behind the register made sure to let me know they also had homemade banana pudding when I considered the banana pudding parfait. That'll be a treat for my next visit. I look forward to returning.

We walked in at around 5p and it was pretty empty, but felt like an upscale version of your Grandma's kitchen. You're welcomed by the co-owner, and he's a fun time. I asked him if he prefers the ribs or catfish and he told me "I don't know what you like" in a kind of older uncle voice so I knew we were in good hands. I ended up ordering Fried Ribs, Mac and Cheese, and Yams and my fiance got Fried Catfish, Mashed Potatoes, and Fried Corn. Since everything is fresh, and not "sitting up under them heat lamps"-the owner, we did wait about 30-40 minutes for both of our plates but I was practically jumping for joy when the plates came out. The owner hand delivered our boxes and we were so excited. It came with a piece of cornbread, that was genuinely the lightest piece of cornbread I've ever had. It had an essence of poundcake without being overly sweet but definitely addicting like crack fr! My fiance and I always share food so I got a piece of catfish and it was THEE best seasoned catfish I've ever tasted...I really wanted us to switch plates fr. Now the sweet potatoes weren't as sweet as I like them, but I have a sweet tooth so that's on me, but they were freshly peeled (the owner assured me) and not canned which I could definitely tell. Whenever we visit Texas again, we will be back for Brunch because I have GOT to try at least one thing on that menu! Things to know: They only accept debit/credit cards They have all of the hot sauces you can think of (Louisiana too)

I was in the mood for some fried catfish and some delicious sides and that's exactly what I got! This place deserves all of the stars! Their customer service was great! I was greeted as soon as I walked through the door. It took me a minute to review their menu because they offer so many delicious options! Once I was sure of what I wanted, I ordered at the counter and it didn't take very long for them to prepare my order to go. Once your order is ready, they open the container in front of you so that you can see what you ordered and confirm it's correct. They then give you your container and let you bag it yourself with all of the condiments you could think of. The dining area is small and cozy and very clean! I ordered the fried catfish & two sides. I had the mac n cheese and greens. All of it was delicious! The fish was fried fresh and seasoned really well. The mac n cheese was cheesy and had a great flavor. The greens were also very delicious. It tasted like it was cooked with some type of turkey neck or something really good! I'm so fat full now and I can't wait to visit them again and try something else on their menu.

I found this on yelp, the 5 stars intrigued me. I pulled up and met Mr Skip. A very funny guy, who aided me through picking something good to eat. Customer service is spot on. The cornbread was fluffy, so light and buttery and melts in your mouth. The turkey necks were really good. Cabbage and Mac were solid. I will definitely be back to get something different. The specials change daily and they also have standing menu items. I plan on returning soon. This was a really good dinner. The inside is very clean and it seems like this place is fairly new. Or renovated. It's nicely setup inside.

I came back again cz I was in the area for work lol I'm glad I don't live close to this place cz I would be here every week lmao had the smoked turkey which they only have on Sundays and man oh man.... Delicious would be an understatement. U cannot go wrong with this place.

Waited over an hour for four plates, people coming in ordering one or two plates received their food fairly quickly. I understand that this is a made to order place but people ordering after me and receiving food before mine is not a good look, one or two people is understandable but 4 or 5 plates got out before I got mine. Also they got one of my orders wrong and had to wait to fix that while all my other food got cold. If you decide to eat here do not do it during your lunch break you will run out of time. Side of okra was $4.95 for a quarter cup.

Goode Eats Southern Kitchen is a true gem for soul food in Houston. I ordered the smothered chicken over rice, greens, and black-eyed peas, and it absolutely hit the mark. The meal was steaming hot and bursting with flavor. The service was not only friendly but also incredibly personal, adding an extra layer of warmth to the experience. The intimate setting with about 10 tabletops created a cozy atmosphere, and I was impressed by the restaurant's cleanliness. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. This is definitely at the top of my list for soul food in Houston. Update: The breakfast was on point too!

Great food and customer service. Pam is amazing. I really feel at home when I come to this place. I definitely will be back again and again.

I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon after church. I was not disappointed. The customer service was great and so was my food. I ordered for my family so we had several items- oxtail, pork chops, yams, Mac and cheese, greens etc.All were delicious. Im glad they are just a short ride from my house. I'll definitely be ordering again. Love to find a great family business to support. 10/10

The owners are as sweet and welcoming as can be and very attentive. The food was packed with flavor and lots of love. The decor is very warm and cozy. I can't wait to try each themed day.

First of all they feed you on to go boxes. The cashier wasn't friendly at all. The pork chops that they serve are the cheapest cut with a huge bone in the middle. The waiter really didn't want to give me enough sugar for my coffee. It wasn't good enough to come back in my opinion. To me they use that to go box to limit the portions cause it was a teaspoon of grits. They just weren't friendly!

The food here was AMAZING!! I had the herb roasted chicken and it was falling off the bone! The only complaint I would have is I didn't get to try their cornbread dressing because it wasn't ready but they made up for it by giving me a free parfait. I'll be back for that dressing, some more macaroni and cheese (because it was cheeseyyy), and to try the oxtails.

We happened upon this place while looking for southern soul food restaurants in the area. Since it had 5 star reviews we thought we'd give it a try. Boy they didn't disappoint! I had the catfish, mashed potatoes and green beans and loved them all. The catfish was crispy, hot and perfectly cooked. The sides were just as good. Now can we talk about the cornbread? Wozers! It was so good and almost cake like! This place is friendly and made us feel welcomed. My husband had the shrimp Poboy and professed it was the best he's ever had. 5 stars is accurate! If I lived here I'd be back often.

Great small soul food spot in South Houston... Service was fast and personable... Food satisfied my soul food craving... All that was ordered was seasoned and full of soul....

I have had several items on the menu and everything was wonderful! Eating here takes like home and made me think of my great aunt because they cook from scratch! My favorite food item to get is most definitely the fried ribs!! I will be going back this week!!

Had shrimp & grits. Family owned. Clean and delicious. Love the vibe and will def come back for more

I ordered 3 entrees. All were delicious! I wish this place were closer. But whenever I have to go the VA hospital, I'm going to make it a point to stop by here again. The owners were very nice, and I felt like I was talking to my aunt or uncle.

It's my Sunday breakfast go to. I get a veggie omelette and some coffee, read a little then I'm on my way. Food is satisfyingly good and the service is old school charming.

The food is delicious. If you're looking for good authentic cuisines this is the place!!!!

Great food and service!! You will not be disappointed. Everything came out as ordered in a timely fashion.

Excellent service. Food was fantastic. This was a last minute take out. They were courteous about what they had and didn't have. Invited me to come back and give them a review

Found this place about a month ago while in the area. We ordered chicken and waffles, a burrito and a breakfast plate. EVERYTHING was so good and made fresh to order. The owner was very pleasant as well. Will visit again if in the area.

Good eats and good people!!! I can't say enough about the this place. I haven't had food like this ever! It is truly amazing!! The service is astounding and the environment is perfect! I will be a regular customer here.

The food was absolutely amazing & I am definitely not easily pleased. The costumer service is definitely superior and feels like home. Skip is so kind and patient and as soon as we walked in he made us feel welcome. It extremely clean and well decorated we will for sure be coming back! Thank y'all at Goode Eats for the amazing experience and food.

Amazing food and service! The fried pork chops were so juicy and flavorful, made me nostalgic of my family's usual Sunday dinner. The strawberry cake parfait was so moist and a great balance of sugar. Plenty of space for sitting for midsize parties. The owners/staff/chef provided amazing service in ensuring food was fresh and hot and checking on my through my email. I strongly recommend Goode Eats if you are looking for a great home cooked meal.
