We drove an hour to get here based on a recommendation. Food, service and atmosphere was average. Nothing special if I'm being honest. Maybe my expectations were too high but if you claim to have the best chicken fried steak then I was kind of expecting to be wowed. The food was good. Not amazing but good. If you live nearby definitely check them out but it was unfortunately not worth the drive for us. We had the chicken fried steak and meatloaf. Be aware the meatloaf has marinara sauce on top so it tasted like meatballs not meatloaf. Wasn't bad but definitely didn't taste like meatloaf.

Burger
The chicken fried steak is classic, good, consistent since I was a child, and big. Rolls are great. Sides could use an upgrade. Have never had anything but good service, the staff works together nicely, the atmosphere reminds me of passing through a small town in nowhere Texas, comfy. Prices are very fair.

Kid's Chicken Fried Steak
This is a wonderful “mom and pop” style restaurant with smiling faces, delicious food, and generous portions. The prices are very fair for what you get and the catfish in any form is a delicacy. I definitely recommend you get their onion rings as an app to share and trust me you won’t be disappointed.

The absolute best place to eat. The environment is nice, the food is good, the staff is incredibly kind and attentive. I gotta say, they are way better than any fast food place lately. Their prices for their amount of food, the quality, and customer service beats everything else. The dim lighting really gives it that mom and pop Cafe feeling and I love how the kitchen is open to see into. It just feels warm and southern, in the best way possible. Meatloaf isn't an option in the reviews, but my husband swears it is the best he's ever had. The squash is delicious. The chicken parmesan is amazing. I love this place and I'm so glad to live near by.

Baked Squash
It's been years since I had Goodson's. Wanted some fish and saw they added it to the menu, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the lemon pepper catfish meal and it was sooo delicious! There was so much food! I got the meal and a dessert, coconut cream pie. Even the slice of pie was the largest slice of pie I've ever seen. The price for the meal and dessert was less than $20. The amount of food I got for less than $20 bucks was amazing. I will definitely be back for more. Would highly recommend if you want good food for not a lot of money. My server, Laura had excellent customer service and was very friendly.

My family ate here while my dad and I were in town. I couldn't capture the giant cow as awesome as it was. (utters had me looking dumb) The general consensus was chicken fried steak and it was great. My dad's old school and says the steaks were bigger back then. Hahaha that's how I picture all older people. Just looking at everything like (it's not how I remember.) hahaha

Chicken Fried
Sweet baby Jesus I'm about to get fat. The chicken friend steak was as good as everyone said. Loved the squash and mashed potatoes too. My daughter had the grilled cheese and fries. The 2 scoops of ice cream she had looked like 2 mountains. Matt is an awesome waiter. We will be back. This place will make ya stop cooking. The price was so reasonable. We will make this our mommy daughter dinner spot. Whole experience was awesome start to finish. And I'm off to my food comma. Try it you won't be disappointed in any way.

Nice, friendly, home-style restaurant. Been around forever but I'm just now getting a chance to try it out. The family loved it. Great food at great prices. Definitely have to put this one in the rotation.

Mom's Meat Loaf
Home of the mid chicken fried steak. Zero flavor, even adding gravy, it's just a slab of fried meat, mashed potatoes was a chunk of chalk, the Mac and cheese was good and the bread rolls were excellent. Definitely try the other food but nothing that special, the chicken fried steak is not that great.
