Good Eats Southern Cuisine — Restaurant in Houston

We had to be in Houston for a MRI at the VA hospital so after we were done we wanted something too eat before heading back to home to Beaumont. We had no I dea about any of the restaurants here, so we googled and the first place was just to fancy for.us plus we had to pay to park at that place and I am to cheap to do that. So, I said how about some soul food? The first place we found on Google looked good so we drove and it was closed. Than I noticed they had another place called Good eats southern cuisine and they were open. So,we drove got there and it was closed which made no since because Google said it was open at 830 am and that the new time had just been changed a week ago by the owners. The lady said sorry we are closed till 1130, it was 1045 and we were already tired and hungry, we decided to wait by that time more people had started to come and were upset because it was not open some stayed but a lot left. We go inside and it is nice,and very clean. We order I had the southern fried wings and Chuck had the fried catfish. Tje wait was an hour but baby it was worth it! The cornbread was like a soft cake (I was praying Chuck would offer me his, no such luck). The wings were fried perfectly, the potatoe salad was spot on and broccoli and rice was great! Chuck catfish was awesome along with his buttered corn and sweet potatoes..When we go back to Houston we will definitely go there to eat, we will just call an hour before so when we walk in it...

Despite my New Years resolution to "eat what you prepped" I have found an excuse to eat here 3 times in the 8 weeks they have been open! A well made breakfast sandwich is a thing of beauty and my bacon, soft scrambled egg, lettuce, tomato add mayo on Texas toast was perfect. I got that to go on my way to work and it was so good I decided I needed to plan to have lunch there.

My second trip I ate there and got the 2 piece fried catfish with black eyed peas and French fries with GE sauce and a banana pudding to go. The catfish was huge and delicious and the French fries were crispy and well seasoned, no salt or pepper needed. The black eyed peas could have been my whole meal, they were loaded with pork! I also got to sample the jambalaya and I will be making another trip to to have that, it was outstanding.

Today I got the fried pork chops with mashed potatoes, buttered corn and cornbread. The chops were huge, I only managed one of them, my leftovers could have been an entire lunch and they were "cut with a butter knife" tender! I didn't know it came with cornbread and it was a treat!

While I was there today I overheard them discussing extended hours for Rodeo and some Rodeo food specials that I am excited about trying. Goode Eats is a true asset to this area, I can't wait till next week when I actually show up on smothered...

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.

I ordered the fried catfish & two sides. I had the mac n cheese and greens. All of it was absolutely delicious! The fish was fried fresh and was 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 necks or something really good! I'm so fat full now and I can't wait to visit them again and try something else...
