    Cherry Pie
    Richard Walton C.

    I arrived at high noon on a Friday and found only two tables with folks dining or finishing up. Only one other table of people came in right behind me so it was not crowded at all. The sign said seat yourself so I did in the left hand side dining room. Two servers were working the room so orders were taken promptly. Yes, as noted by the other reviewers it is family owned so nothing fancy, just very comfortable dining to get some good home cooked meals. Their menu reminds me of Blueberry Hill's in that it has a wide variety of selections. I ordered the 6 pc. Butterfly Fried Shrimp from the Specials board. The shrimp came with steak fries which is one of my favorite styles of fries. Both the shrimp and fries were great. The shrimp were so big I could only eat five of the six. And I wanted to save room for dessert after seeing fruit pies on the menu. I ordered their Cherry Pie but declined the ice cream. The pie was very delicious. Apple was available too just so you all know. To be honest I didn't really look that hard at the menu once I saw the specials on their white board. I do remember seeing quite a few sandwich selections and a few I would like to try.

    Great food, reasonably priced, great service. Can't miss! Have an omelette but I'm sure everything is fresh

    Take it for what it is: a dinner/family restaurant serving comfort foods. If you are looking for ambiance and fine dining, you are in the wrong place. If you are looking for a good, reasonably priced delicious meal, you got it. I ordered the BLT with fries (or premium). Highly recommend getting the fries too. They are really good, a nice portion and only a dollar or so more. The BLT was delish. Nice amount of bacon, with fresh tomatoes and lettuce, just as it should be. Bacon was nice and crisp without being burned. And the coffee was and truly bottomless.

    Good local eatery in Plainfield. I stopped in for breakfast a little while back on the way to visit relatives. Had a skillet with a side of toast, which was all well made and hit the spot. My server was very sweet and upbeat, and the gentleman working the register had a kindly demeanor as well. The decor and style is somewhat basic, but it is nice and clean nevertheless. Well worth the stop!

    Although I wasn't overly impressed with my dinner several months ago, I highly recommend the breakfast! This place is a somewhat countryish style restaurant with a nostalgic vibe! The scrambled eggs were light and fluffy. The biscuits and gravy were EXCEPTIONAL! We opted for the sausage links and they were good. The hash browns were well prepared and delicious. "Old Fashioned Pancakes" were the HIGHLIGHT of the meal! Very TASTY!

    Breaded Tenderloin with Bacon and Cheese!!
    Tony A.

    I've driven by Goody's so many times without stopping. Today that all ended as I had a hankering for a breaded tenderloin and figured they had one. What Family Restaurant doesn't, am I right? The lady that waited on me was super kind and quick to take my order. The food came out hot and fresh! The grease was clean and so was the Restaurant. I will definitely be back to try out the other delicious selections they had, such as the steak sandwich, burgers, salads, they had it all. Diamond in the rough if you ask me!

I ordered the shrimp tacos which were plentiful and authentic tasting with the corn shells. They were cheesy and running over with a side of rice. Just what I like. Would I go again? Absolutely! Would I get the same dish? Yes, plus more.

His plate was huge and colorful with pico, rice, beans and a cheesy covered chimichanga. The food is a step above your average Mexican restaurant. They offer daily drink specials (beer and margarita). I was tempted, but it was just too early in the day. They also have a kid's menu. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall lot and the restaurant is fully accessible. I recommend and will return.

The restaurant filled up quickly, and it is family-friendly. They have a 4-top bar with high wooden stools and 6 tables in the bar area. It is partially enclosed, so you have some privacy. The menu has all the traditional appetizers, entrees, and desserts. You will find a variety of nachos, quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, and chimichangas. I had the Carnitas El Potro with chunks of tender pork tenderloin with onions and jalapeno peppers topped with shredded cheese and served with a side of beans and rice. I wasn't impressed with the pork chunks as they were fatty, but the beans and rice were flavorful. Desserts are available with Chimi Cheesecake, Flan, Sopapilla, and Ice Cream. I had the Flan and thought it was too dense. The Flan sauce was flavorful, but I did not enjoy the texture of this Flan, and it is my favorite Mexican dessert. I will not order this dessert here again. I'm still happy I tried El Potro's tonight and had the opportunity to visit with old and new friends. My entree, I'd say, is just okay, but what I had wasn't exceptional only due to the fatty meat. Some enjoy the fatty meat while others, like myself, do not. My sister loves fatty meat, so this is what she expects. Me, not so much. Our server, Laura, was excellent, and she didn't miss a step. Extra napkins, refills on drinks, additional chips, or salsa were refilled quickly, and used dishes were removed timely. Dinners arrived quickly and served together. My experience with El Potro was a pleasant atmosphere with average food and good service.
