You could easily come here for a fancy birthday celebration or just a casual lunch and brunch. I loved that I didn't feel weird having two kids under six with us. There were other families there, and it felt very welcoming without sacrificing that nice restaurant vibe. Everyone in the family really enjoyed what they ordered and the service was great! My oldest daughter had the cheeseburger with french fries and loved it, especially the bread which was nicely toasted and gave it a great crunch. My youngest had the chicken tenders with mac and cheese, and my husband really liked his stuffed poblano pepper dish. I ordered the country-fried pork with greens and mashed potatoes, and everything on my plate was delicious. The mashed potatoes were great, and the greens leaned more sweet than savory, which I really enjoyed. The fried green tomatoes were another major standout with the sauce they served. I honestly wish we had a spot like this back home! My only small critique is to skip the sweet tea. I haven't found a single place in Houston where the sweet tea was actually sweet enough for my taste, but overall, this was a fantastic spot with great service that I'd highly recommend.

The waffle came in a heart shape as a seasonal item. Also ordered the cayenne ranch chicken sandwich with fried mushrooms. The chicken and waffle was good. The chicken on the sandwich was a bit dry. I was really hoping for a spicy chicken sammie but the chicken wasn't flavored, just the sauce on the bun. The mushrooms, however were BANGIN. I would order these as my side time and time again. They were very well flavored and fried to perfection. They have a great selection of teas and homemade lemonade. The raspberry tea with lemonade was a pretty good combo! I would definitely revisit but maybe try the wings next time.

The portion of the $3.50 Mac and cheese was kind of small for the price. I ordered 5 tenders and they counted a small 3 inch one as a tender and for over $12 I was upset about that. My medium drink had so much ice that when I later refilled it at home I saw it could barely contain the 12 ounces of soda. The food was good but I feel it is overpriced. I will not be returning.

Parking is a few spots up front and a few out back. Again, some signage could be helpful to let people know what to do in where to go. We were the only ones in at the time we walked through. Service was a little slow considering there weren't a lot of folks in there. We ordered the curry and Roti appetizer. Mild, but very flavorful curry, hits a deep savory with a slight sweetness note. The roti was burning hot! Delicious. The gal ordered the pad Thai, very tasty, and actually seemed like it had a little more heat on it than my spicy duck curry which was quite mild by comparison. The pad Thai was a generous portion. Duck curry was very flavorful, similar to the appetizer but with a deeper savory flavor. They said it was spicy. It was not, but still incredibly tasty. The duck does have bones in it, so chomp carefully. Lots of fruit and veggies in this curry. Served with rice, it's a good portion. Overall a great dinner. Would go back.

Friday after work during happy hour and the prices could not be beat, especially with their lobster bites (was sitting at about $30, and we got them half off!) Drinks were fantastic! I selected the "Golden Cadillac" that comes with a miniature bottle of Grand Marnier inside of it. Very good. My company decided on an array of appetizers for his "main course", while I went with their Fried Salmon (served with Mac and cheese, and collard greens). Omg! So tasty! The pepper was prevalent throughout, but it did not over power the flavor! I make collard greens at home (and learned from one of the best), and even I found theirs to be pretty good! My company selected fried ribs, along with the lobster bites, and crawfish queso dip, and their wings! I tasted what he got, and we both agreed that the wings were "off the chart" delicious with a beautiful straight off the grill smoky flavor! So good that he got another order to go! Lol. What made our experience there amazing was our server Ray (Rajean = think "the 90's TV Show "Living Single"..."smooches"!)...she was the best!! From her hello, to walking us through the menu (as first-timers), her recommendations, her energy, her smile, and her being very relatable. Loved her! My only gripe was the bathrooms, the ladies room needed attention (and could use a spruce all around). It doesn't help that it is a bit small, but yeah, they need to focus some efforts on ensuring it's upkeep. As for seating and parking, there is a bar area and limited seating toward the front of the restaurant, but it does extend to back of the house with additional seating. There is also patio seating as well. Because this place seems popular, it is best to reserve ahead to ensure your seating. Parking is very limited! They do however, offer valet (but at $20+). There is off-street parking, but be careful since this is a residential area and nothing is secure. All in all, I really had a great time and left with my belly full! Definitely worth checking out! What was lost is now found! Enjoy!

I decided to step outside my comfort zone and try the Oysters Rockefeller... and let's just say they weren't my speed. They weren't bad, just not for me. So naturally I sent them back and ordered my tried-and-true favorite... Chargrilled Oysters with extra garlic butter, Parmesan, and bacon. Now THAT'S what I came for! Rich, buttery, cheesy, smoky, and absolutely loaded with flavor. Every bite reminded me why these are my go-to. And because brunch rules apply... it was only right to enjoy a pineapple mimosa (or two ). Light, refreshing, and the perfect pairing for all that seafood. If you're visiting Goode Co. Seafood, my advice is simple: Don't skip the Smoked Redfish Dip. Order the Chargrilled Oysters. Add extra garlic butter. Thank me later. 9.5/10 -- I'll definitely be back! #LoveJonesEats #HoustonEats #GoodeSeafood #ChargrilledOysters #SeafoodLover #HoustonFoodie #BrunchVibes #MimosaMood #SupportLocal #FoodieFinds

The Mac and cheese was very flavorful and creamy. The service was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's not a very large place so there's not many seats if they are busy. We came on a Sunday so it was pretty full with the after church crowd. But we were still severed timely. You can order yourself at the kiosk or with the server. You absolutely NEED to come here and try this food.

The A/C was broken. This is Houston. In June. Ain't no way - so i ordered my food to go, only to find out they only serve in to go containers anyway - okkkkk. I got the catfish plate with red beans, dirty rice and an extra side of greens. The fish was great. Big pieces, well seasoned, fried perfectly - 9/10. the dirty rice was don well too - 7/10. The red beans were ok, nothing special, but not bad either - 6/10. The GREEENS tho.... 1/10. NOPE - never again. Glory canned greens with a whisper of a thought of seasoning and half a gallon of pepper sauce.

At brunch, the papas bravas come as small cubes of fried potato with an airy crunch that gives way to a soft, pillowy center - the kind of deeply satisfying bite that makes conversation briefly irrelevant. Crisp prosciutto adds salt, aioli brings richness, and smoky chile sauce keeps it lively. They're served with cactus-handled toothpicks, which are almost offensively adorable. The chilaquiles divorciados are another hit. The chips are dressed with salsa rather than drowned beneath it, so each one arrives ready for the perfect bite. It's a small distinction, but an important one. Then there are the enfrijoladas: rolled quesadillas in fluffy tortillas, covered in creamy black bean sauce and plated with more care than bean and cheese might seem to warrant. The dish is fundamentally simple, but that's the point. Soft tortilla, savory beans, melted cheese, bright salsa. Familiar ingredients transformed into something deeply comforting--the culinary equivalent of curling up beneath a warm blanket on a cold morning, even if Houston rarely provides one. Dinner shifts into another gear. The crudos are sensational, especially the tuna tiradito - a rolling wave of flavor and texture. The tacos are excellent across the board, but the crispy maitake mushrooms are unmatched. The short ribs arrive juicy and tender on a mole negro that doesn't sit politely in the background. It lands dark, complex, and full of flavor. And then there's the masa cornbread, a masterpiece of unapologetic indulgence. Humble cornbread meets savory-sweet mole, smoky, earthy butter, and caviar. It sounds like too much. It isn't. Every element earns its place. The cocktails deserve their own warning. They're the kind that convince you to keep ordering the same drink all night. By the end, you may have forgotten what was in it. What you'll remember is that it was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and exactly what you needed. Maximo makes ambitious food feel generous rather than fussy. Come hungry.
