Goodson's Cafe is a great classic cafe. The food is freshly made. the staff is very friendly. The service was very quick on my visit, and the restaurant was busy at the time.

Great traditional Texas cafe / diner

Refreshing place to eat versus all the chains. Festive decor for a very traditional Texas roadside cafe / diner. Great menu matches the reason you would eat here…chicken fried steak, chopped sirloin, fried chicken, hamburgers and nice size portions of veggies and homemade rolls with gravy. Great service - waitresses are fast on their heels.

A Houston tradition

Was Looking Forward To A Great Meal ... Not so much

Ordered fried mushrooms and onion rings as an appetizer...they were greasy and lacked flavor. We ordered Chicken Fried Chicken and it was mediocre at best. Don't know what's happened here but the food was bland and boring. Nothing was out of the ordinary. Too many other places to go so doubt there will be a return visit.
