    Picked up some dinner tonight, chosen because they had smoked turkey and were VERY close to the hotel I was staying (walking distance). I went "all out" and got their 3 meat plate. I chose chicken, turkey ($2 upcharge) and sausage. I also had to try their chili. Food was packaged well for travel! I was thinking chili is chili, until I removed the top. Look at those chunks of beef!! They even brought me more onions and cheese (my favorites)! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place smelled amazing and everyone was super friendly!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're ever in Boise Idaho, give them a try!

    I got the brisket sandwich and it was delicious! It had Goodwoods own bbq sauce on it, which complimented the brisket beautifully. For the side I got the potato salad and dang it was loaded with hard boiled eggs, and very delicious! My server was friendly and very attentive. I got a slice of the Texas sheet cake to go, and it didn't disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is clean and well maintained.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If I lived local this would be a new spot for me to frequent. If I am ever back in Boise again, I will certainly come back.

    OH MY GOSH! THIS PLACE IS JUST AMAZING!! Our 1st time here but meats are just so good, juicy and so soft! Service is also spectacular. We had Kayla M and she was very attentive and always checking on us and our needs! The manager was also great and checked in on us! We love it here and we will definitely be back The place also has great vibe and match the rustic ambiance !

    Tri tip salad
    Cheri N.

    Saturday, early lunch at Goodwood barbecue for the first time. It smelled so good before I walked in with all the smells of barbecue. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is that of a chain restaurant with a warmth to the decor and it appears very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a tri-tip salad with their bbq ranch dressing for the menu price of $15.95. I expected this to be a ginormous salad but sadly it arrived in a large soup bowl. This medium salad was very modest, very demure, and very basic. It had four modest slices of tri-tip atop the salad. A tiny cornbread muffin and butter was on the side. I was starving so I dug in and ate the whole salad. It was very tasty and very satisfying. It was the perfect amount for one person. Very, very expensive to eat out nowadays Goodwood just reminded me of that. Service was very attentive, and our food came out quickly . I'd have to rate the salad just four stars out of five. I wouldn't rate the salad down for the value because this is just the going rate of food and downsizing that most restaurants have to do to stay afloat. I really can't attest to the quality of their barbecue since I only had a salad. I can say, though that the four small pieces of tri-tip on the salad were just OK.

    Great food and fast, friendly service. Food was hot and delicious! We had pulled pork that was smoked and really tender. The bbq sauce does have a kick to it. I suggest getting the sauce on the side just incase its too spicy for you.

    Brisket burnt end sandwich with fries.

    Nice place with plenty of tables. The smell of BBQ hit me as I walked in. They have cocktails and beer on tap. The décor is nice. I ordered the open face burnt end brisket samminch. It was okay, but wasn't very warm. This is a knife and fork meal, since the bread isn't toasted. Not a big serving of meat, but it was adequate. The steak fries were decent but not hot. I thought the squeeze was going to do her own rating so I didn't take a picture of her Cobb salad. Compared to about every other eatery we've been to that has main salads for around $15, this looked like a side salad. Peighton did a fine job as our server. We we had 9 people at the table, so they added a 22% tip on the bill. My problem is, I tipped 22% to the Governor since they figure the tip after taxes. So I actually tipped 23.5% on our meal. I know they all do this, but it should stop. Just an average meal.

    Goodwood Barbecue was one of the first restaurants I had in Meridian and it was a great experience! Parking was not an issue as it's situated in a large plaza, but it can get busy during peak hours. The service here is on top of their game. All of the staff were courteous, quick and friendly. We ordered the lunch special combo platter with Smoked Chicken and Pulled Pork as well as the Burnt Ends Brisket with Mike's Baked Mac & Cheese. Our personal favorite was the Burnt Ends Brisket -- so flavorful and tender! We also loved the barbecue sauce itself here. It has a nice citrus undertone that not many barbecue places I've previously had do. Absolutely recommend this place if you're in the area!

    Went with family and had a great experience. Wasn't too busy around noon and got seated immediately, host at front was nice. Food took about 15-20 minutes to be served and we shared 4 sandwiches - The Pit and press, the club, honey stung chicken sandwich, and barbecue brisket sandwiches (all delicious). Server was very nice and efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms were clean and the music wasn't loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Host opened the door for us on the way out. Great experience!

    Brisket
    T T.

    Brisket was juicy, tender, and the fries were huge. I like the bbq sauce, it was really delicious. Not much else to say. Not too much smoke flavor on the brisket, so I think that could be better, but overall for the amount of food you get, it's reasonably fair priced.

I loved the meat, crackers and the cheese. The dates were nice additional as well. I had a Pinot Noir wine and it was pretty good. There was feedback about a beef dish that was returned as diners felt the meat was tough and fatty They were given credit for the meal and it was removed from their bill. There wasn't a full bar but I enjoyed the wine ( Pinot noir) I had. Others in my group had beer. The servers were delightful, attentive, accommodating and fun to interact with. Hopefully they remain in service as I'd like to give them another shot. Love to try the lobster next time and desserts. I highly recommend giving them a shot. PS. The decor is warm and homey feeling.

The atmosphere can only be described as cool, comfortable, easy. They just weren't trying so hard if that make any sense, and it was so nice. We had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners Tara, and she was so kind and spoke to us like we were family. We highly recommend Susina.

That alone was disappointing, but hearing it within earshot of customers felt extremely unprofessional. As a long-time business owner myself, I firmly believe you are only as strong as your team. Respecting employees -- especially publicly -- is critical to a healthy work environment and strong customer experience. It was uncomfortable to witness and ultimately the reason we won't be returning. I genuinely felt sorry for the staff working that shift. Additionally, it appeared that both owners may have been drinking while on shift, which also felt unprofessional. One of them did approach us and seemed very sweet, but after overhearing the earlier comments, it unfortunately changed the entire atmosphere for us. The overall ambiance was decent, and Alex did a great job. It's just disappointing when leadership undermines what could otherwise be a positive experience.

The reason we went back the second time was because we remembered how good the food was and how nearby it was too. The second time the food was still really good, but the service was HORRENDOUS. Brittney was such a ***** to me and my parents, my mom especially. My mom was complimenting her and something about the food, and she straight up just walked away in the middle of my mom still talking. And no it wasn't busy. It was towards the end of the night, there was maybe 2-3 other customers there. She acted like we were bothering her the whole time. Then once she'd leave us would just stand up at the bar flirting with the other guy working there and just ignore anyone else. Then on top of all of that, my dad tells me she added $10 onto her tip! FRAUD!!! I've attached photos as evidence. My dad still tipped her even though she was so rude and disrespectful. But apparently that wasn't enough for her and added $10 onto the total. I cannot believe that. And my dad tells me it was difficult to get his $10 back after calling and talking to the manager. He didn't get the name of the manager but he said that they were just making excuses and saying oh but she's our best server. Obviously not! Saying things like oh she must've just been really busy. Again, we were there when it was dead and about to close soon, no it was not busy. It's almost as if this business does this type of thing often because there was no alarm from the manager, then finally after much deliberation decided to send back the $10. Absolutely ridiculous. No : "I'm so sorry here's a free meal on us", or atleast a "here's a coupon or gift card for next time you come in", nothing. This is the type of thing that gets people closed down. We should report to the BBB. This is insane. And to not be offered anything to make it right is what really gets me. Like do they not want us to ever come back??? Not to mention tell everyone we know, etc. Yikes! And this is what we get for wanting to support local businesses instead of going to the big chains. What a bummer.
