My big family (12 people) came after a funeral's service without reservation and the restaurant was extremely accommodating with making sure we have good seatings and even adjusted it for us. I got the Campechana Extra (shrimp & crab) $20 - 5/5 My mother got the mesquite grilled salmon and was highly disappointed from how dry the fish was. She didn't want to complain so she just ate it. My partner got the fried shrimp AND THAT WAS DELICIOUS! The sauce that came with it was chef's kiss. Service was top notch, I forgot his name (sorry) but none of our drinks EVER went empty! Food came out at an appropriate time. Was a great time. It wasn't too loud that I couldn't hear people, the conversation was flowing just fine. read more

Goode Company Seafood - Campechana Extra (shrimp & crab) - 5/5 - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

The last time I ate here was 23 years ago. They changed the way they fry shrimp. The old way was MUCH better. The grilled catfish was disappointing The grilled salmon was very nice. Our waitress was extremely professional and outstanding in every way! read more

Great family restaurant! Service is exceptional and the food is wonderful. A great variety of choices. Excellent cocktails The restaurant is unique part of it is in a retired rail car. Photos of fishermen dominate the decor. We visited on a busy night and we were shown to our table quicker than expected. We were a group o6 including 2 children under 6. They loved the food too! read more

First time here and I had an excellent experience. Our waiter was truly amazing; he was extremely accommodating and even offered to get us smaller portions of their main dishes so we could try a wider variety of items. The seafood was fresh, and everything we tried was enjoyable. I can definitely see myself coming back, especially to take advantage of their happy hour. If you enjoy seafood, the tower is absolutely the way to go. read more

Goode Company Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

We have been wanting to try this spot for quite some time because we live close by. Finally made it in and it was worth the wait! I love the seafood with a little TexMex/southern flair. The vibe is nice with train compartmant theme with the counter and watching the raw seafood being prepared. The only thing missing is some music. Because it is bit of small space, I definitely could hear the conversations of those around me. We ordered the crab cake, mesquite oysters, tuna medium well and red snapper with rice and fried green tomatoes as sides. Everything was fresh and delicious. The tuna steak was cooked perfectly . We finished with pecan pie and ice cream. It was a lovely dinner and our server, Andrea, was very attentive and friendly. read more

Decided to try this place while visiting Houston for the first time. The staff? They were great, loved the interactions we had with everyone who visited our table. The ambiance was nice, felt very diner (a little weird for a seafood place, but no other complaints!) The food was delicious! Fresh and full of flavor. I had the shrimp étouffée and my husband has the red fish, we also shared the fried green tomatoes. No complaints at all. We will definitely come back when we visit Houston again! read more

Goode Company Seafood - Shrimp Etouffee and the Redfish on the Half Shell - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

We were looking for a seafood restaurant in Houston and I had seen that @goodcoseafood has a good happy hour. Please note that happy hour is only limited to the seating in the bar area. Hubby and I both had the Watermelon Mezcal Margarita and Dad had Lemonade. We all shared the Blue Crab, Corn. and Poblano Bisque. It was very tasty with a touch of heat. Hubby had the Fried Oyster BLT Slider, which was served with chips. We also shared The Pearl Seafood Tower. Plenty and just enough food to fill our bellies. It had gulf oysters, shrimp cocktail, campechana smoked redfish dip, and crab claws. Everything was delish and a steal for happy hour. I highly recommend the happy hour! read more

Cool location and good seafood. Service and atmosphere: This is very cool looking restaurant with part of it looking like a train wagon. The inside was spacious, clean, well organised and decorated. Ask for a table in the train wagon area which also includes full bar. The service staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Food and drinks: They offer very good selection of various foods. You can opt for grilled, fried and fresh seafood. You can order soups, salads, and variety of plates. All dishes were well presented, made with fresh ingredients. Good seasonings and taste. I recommend the shrimp and lobster cocktail and fried green tomatoes for starters. The restaurant serves many alcoholic beverages too. Pricing: $$/$ - two people dinner with starter, mains, and three drinks came to around $130. read more

This ceviche was okay! It has a very sweet twang to it. I wish there was more crab, but I loved the fresh avocado. The chips were hot and fresh. The stuffed combo was very sub par given the competition out there for it. I figure while visiting home, I'd love to try more staples such as Goode company, which is an institution to some. I certainly appreciated that the interior has its on dive sort of flair rather than a run of the mill look. If I return, I'd love to know what some good can't-miss suggestions are. read more

WOW was I happy to find out they had crab fingers today. After picking my brother up at the airport we headed straight here. Not only do I love fried crab fingers, but so does my brother. He was so happy to eat here again! We ordered two platters of fried crab fingers, their yummy onion rings, and sautéed spinach...I know I threw in a healthy side, since everything else was fried. The food was so good! Service was stellar too. A great start for our Sunday...can't wait to return! read more

We had dinner here on Sunday 3/30 around 4pm as we wanted seafood and the cool train exterior caught our eyes as we drove by. The reviews were also great so we had high hopes. It's built inside an old Amtrak train carriage and the inside feels like a lovely diner. Our server was very nice but it was only her second day on the job and she was not very familiar with the menu. Since we both wanted oysters and the mesquite grilled oysters sounded amazing we decided to order a couple of them. When it arrived, it looked very impressive and I was pretty excited to dig in. Unfortunately, it was not good at all and all I could taste was the overly strong romano cheese. Could not taste any garlic or herb butter at all and ended up dousing the oysters in hot sauce to get some flavor. We also ordered the fried catfish platter that came with an empanada, garlic bread, and seasoned fries. The catfish was bland and really needed seasoning. Empanada was pretty dry and did not even taste like an empanada at all. The seasoned fries were I credibly salty and I got tired of dusting the salt off of each fry. It was such a disappointing meal:( Hubby and I both agreed how our local fast food fish restaurant back home has much better food at half the cost. Not sure how this place has such good reviews. read more

Anytime I don't take a picture, understand I ate all of it before I could show you all how good it was. Shrimp PO boy divine, red fish dip, divine, the flipping MESQUITE OYSTERS DIVINE. What a spectacular place, the environment to eat the food was similar to any seafood place I've been except authentic and pretty. Service was exceptional, that goes from the hostess and host to our wonderful waiter. If you come here and DONT get the shrimp po boy, might as well go home and chalk it up as a missed experience. Incredible place and I feel lucky and blessed to be able to have enjoyed it. Mark my words, that $13 shrimp PO BOY is the best thing on the menu. And if everything else on the menu is under it, you are in for a treat. The best stuff on earth!!!!!!!! Enjoy read more

We came by for Good Friday lunch. We enjoyed the meal and service was efficient. I felt the bisque was too rich but everything else was tasty. The onion rings were really good. The side onion rings and the appetizer onion rings are different products. Both are good but the app option were better in my opinion. The poboys were good although being from Louisiana it's disappointing to have so few shrimp on a Poboy. The Texas sheet cake was delicious but not Texas sheet cake in size...think the thin rich sheet cake. read more

There's a funny story behind the restaurant. I believe there are two brothers both missing one leg opposite of each other (see the pic). We had 2 orders of grilled oysters as it sounded amazing and the fried catfish platter. The catfish was good but was not a fan of the grilled oysters as they don't really have any flavor other than cheese. We also tried their BBQ next day and it was pretty good. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend their BBQ over the seafood. read more

some of the best seafood in Houston. Service staff is also great. Wish they had fried catfish pieces, only have fried catfish fillet. also they do not serve lobster. Fried shrimp, grilled oysters, stuff crab, & gumbo is the best. read more

We ordered For Pickup 6 Medium Rare Salmon Filets & 4 Gumbos. Salmon filets were terrible Dry & Over cooked. Texture kinda powdery. I had called restaurant around 1, talked to gal asking if any sauce or crabmeat for fillets & She said No. But a sauce wouldn't have masked the over cooked salmon. The Bread was hard. The Gumbo was a thick bisque? Should be called Gumbo Bisque or was it messed up too. Disappointing for a restaurant that is supposed to be good seafood. Don't go & don't order Pickup. read more

Why am I just now visiting this place?? My gawd today the food was good! Also the have an abundance of parking! This restaurant is partly constructed from an old train. You have to climb stairs to get in and they have a ramp. I will say it is a lot bigger inside than I anticipated. Any who our server was great and attentive. My friend and I each trialed an appetizer both were the bomb.com. We ordered the smoked redfish dip and was perfection! I've had a smoke fish before and it was a no. But this one was excellent. We also tried the reddish beignets, tiny but mighty. They were so good and nothing like an actual beignet. I ordered the shrimp etoufee and my friend ordered the fried catfish. The catfish was fried perfectly not over or under. The etoufee was really good and it came with garlic bread perfection. We ordered the chocolate sheet cake which came with ice cream! Overall I rate the food and service 10/10! I intend to come back so I can try everything on the menu! read more

Goode Company Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

If you have lived in Houston for a good amount of time, you should know the Goode Company name. They've been around in the Houston area since the late 70's and have built up a little local empire with BBQ, seafood, and Mexican food just to name a few. They started off with the BBQ and in the 80's they opened up this restaurant which is very unique. They converted a passenger train into a restaurant. The train itself has a diner like feel with 4 top tables along one side and bar top seating off to the other side. I came here on a lunch date and was able to get seated right away without a reservation. Customer service was good from start to finish. As you can guess by the name of the place, they specialize in seafood with a little Gulf Coast Cajun flair. We were starving and decided to share a bowl of seafood gumbo to start with. This was a well executed gumbo. When I see a gumbo that comes out light in color I know it's going to be bad. This was nice and dark and you could tell they let that roux cook. The seasonings were on point and there was a generous amount of shrimp and crab inside. It was also served with delicious garlic bread. They actually serve garlic bread and shrimp empanadas with almost everything which I am not mad about. I am a garlic bread fanatic. For my entree, I ordered the fried shrimp and shrimp etouffee combination plate. It came with a mound of seafood rice as well. It was an enjoyable meal, but the fried food could've used a little more seasoning in the batter. The etouffee was solid and paired well with the delicious rice. My date got the mesquite grilled catfish fillet. I'm not a big catfish guy, but this was really good. I can't remember if it was a special request or not, but it was topped with shrimp etouffee as well. Great dish. We also shared some hushpuppies just because. I can't say I've ever had bad hushpuppies. Everyone knows Goode Company pecan pies are elite, so we got that to go to satisfy our sweet tooth. If you haven't been yet, check it out. It is up there as one of my favorite seafood spots in town. I will be back. read more

Tried their takeout and nothing stood out except the campechana de mariscos with shrimp and crab combo. That was amazing and something I won't forget. The empanada that comes with the mesquite grilled entree, wow. I had low expectations but it was stuffed perfectly and incredibly flavorful. I tried the catfish and seafood rice and the catfish is underwhelming in flavor. It was pretty bland but I prefer that than something drowned in oil and salt. The mesquite grilled salmon was also pretty mediocre. The same goes for the garlic bread. Overall not bad but the standouts were great. read more

I try to come here every time I visit family but this was by far my favorite visit. And it's all because of the server Annie!!! She ended up not being our server and that is the reason she was so phenomenal!!! The Ac was blasting in part of the restaurant and we ended up getting seated at one of tables under the AC. Before we even sat down, Annie immediately saw that we were cold and asked if we wanted to be at a warmer table. She moved us to another table but it turned out not to be her table anymore. For a server to give up her table for the comfort of the customer before they even ask is absolutely amazing. Her unselfishness was so noticeable and we're so appreciative. Such a kind heart. Wonderful!!! I can't rave enough about her. You need to be served by her! And yes food is good. Crab gumbo without rice and the csmpechana are both yum. They give the kids a really good portion of catfish for the price so well worth the value. read more

Food Sucks and way overpriced. Pappadeauxs has way better food although very expensive too.

8-22-25 Check #95 / Time 15:47 hours / Server: Jadidiah / Approval Code: 07613 D I have been patronizing Goode Co. Seafood since 1986. I can honestly say, Jadidiah provided superior, professional, and customer appreciation on this visit than all other visits combined. There's been Roberto Garcia, Christopher Alexander, James, Joshua Kaine, Kristen Hyde, etc. we felt 100% appreciated, made the right decision dining at GCS, and will be returning again in the near future. A full 5 Star experience. Thank you Goode Co. Seafood, and Jadidiah. The music was not applicable to the business venue, in my opinion. Cancel read more

Goode Company Seafood - Dinner at GCS Westpark - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

I really wanted to support a local spot, but this experience was a total letdown. We sat down, placed our drink orders, and then waited. And waited. No updates, no food, no urgency from the staff. After a long wait, we asked for a manager, hoping someone would step up and help. Instead, the manager came over and seemed more focused on finding someone to blame than actually taking care of us. No accountability, no apology, just finger-pointing. In today's economy, every dollar matters -- and I'm not spending mine on bad service. We left and took our money to Cleburne's on Bissonnet, where they understand hospitality. Do better, Goodie Company. Houston read more

Came in on Good Friday- we had reservations and waited 15 mins for our table. We love Good Co.

Vomiting and diarrhea- I hope others that ate oysters didn't go through the same. read more

We have eaten here many times over the last 15 years or so, so I have a pretty good frame of reference. In general, we like the seafood, drinks, service, and casual diner atmosphere. The Campechana and Rita's are great. However, Seafood is expensive--but we understand that. So we kind of go back and forth between being happy after eating here, or feeling like we paid way too much. Today was a "paid way too much" day. I got three small, thin pieces of grilled flounder filet over a corn sauce with one side for $34.00. I'd guess it was 4-5 oz. Of fish, max. There were a couple of bones in it. Hubby got grilled snapper for $38 and it was the same story. They would not let us swap out the shrimp empanada (which we don't care for) for another side. You can ask not to serve it, but that's just a freebie for them. No substitutes. We got 3 margaritas, two fish entrees, one dessert: $125 plus tip. Conclusion: Not worth it. read more

Goode Company Seafood - Murder point oysters (Alabama) - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

This establishment is a staple of Houston. I have fond memories of coming here as a kid. I remember my father and Jim Goode sharing stories. Jim Goode was an icon in Houston and his legacy lives on through his restaurants. For those that aren't aware, this establishment is a 1940s style diner in a passenger railroad car, which just makes it even cooler. Food & Drink - 5* Look, there isn't a bad thing on the menu. Redfish, gumbo, mesquite grilled anything. I certainly have some go tos, but nothing has ever disappointed. They have a full bar with select craft cocktails, wine, and a few beers on tap. Cost - 5* This isn't the cheapest spot in town, but it isn't over priced either. Overall, subjectively speaking, I find it to be fair for fresh seafood. I've been to other fresh seafood spots that seem to think their seafood comes from a special ocean of some sort. Service - 4* There's been a couple of occasions where the service was a little less than expected, but generally I've found the waiters and waitresses to be very attentive, always ensuring you have whatever you need. I personally love to sit at the bar, I find the bartenders to be very attentive and really do a great job. Overall - 5* Look, there are dozens of seafood spots in Houston, but this is one of the best, particularly for inside the loop. I won't name a few others that I enjoy as much, but what makes this one a cut above is they just serve fantastic meals in a non-pretentious setting. You don't feel like you have to dress up to come here. It's approachable and acceptable regardless of the occasion, whether it's celebrating an anniversary or simply coming mid-week on a rainy day. read more
