    In the beginning I disliked how slow the service was. But it all changed .i came back the second time because the first time the food WAS great. Now it’s our fifth time here. It grew on me. The food is always on point. My favorite is the ribeye with mushrooms and side of mash potatoes with gravy. But I’ve tried most of the menu already and I must say nothings has disappointed me so far. The fish of the day is a favorite of my husbands. Will continue to dine here. Shout out to Don.

    The Girl and the Goat always exceeds expectations, even when my expectations are sky high! Thank you! We had the Pig Face, String Beans, Goat Belly, and Steak. The dishes all exploded with flavors. The balance of seasonings, use of citrus, vinegar and other elements of the dishes played well and makes the culinary experience here amazing. The cocktails were yummy as well. The Peach-Te-quilla was light and refreshing. The Spicy Fat Boy had a ton of flavor. To finish the night, we had the Toffee Pumpkin cake and a neat pour of the Pappy Family Reserve. The Pappy was a treat and made a great night even more special! Thanks to Stephanie and all the team at the Goat. You are all AMAZING!

    Always fantastic experience! I visit Andy’s whenever I am in town (I live in a different state). This time, I came with my family and we all had a wonderful time! Foods were excellent as well although I feel the portion has been smaller compared to the last visit, which is not a big deal for me.
