My first happy hour visit I tried their Mississippi-style chicken on a stick (good, but I prefer San Antonio's milanesa version dipped in pickled jalapeno juice).

Make it an entree. :: And of course, their oysters. I'm an oyster happy hour girlie!

In a great way!! Exceptional service, Hannah was our amazing server and has great recommendations :) We ordered oysters (all the Texas ones) to start. We were recommended the Big Tree by Hannah, and it ended up being our favorite! 10/10. The other Texan ones were also great. In terms of drinks, loved the paloma and espresso martini we ordered. Mixed perfectly for both. Loved the zest on the paloma glass. My husband loved his smoked octopus entree. I loved my crab cake. Not much or any filler, just pure crab and maybe a binding agent (egg?). Different from the east coast crab cakes I've had that use a loooot of bread crumbs and the cake can sometimes be dry as a result. This cake was moist and flavorful and paired with a perfectly made hollandaise. For dessert we got the basque cake, which is like a crispy pound cake surrounded by cherry preserves and crushed almonds. It was topped with a wonderfully decadent yet light cream cheese ice-cream. 11/10 will come back (and bring friends)!

Our server Jasmine was great and very attentive. She had recommendations that were spot on and appreciated. The vibe is pretty chill here and great for a mid day lunch outing with your lover or friend. Crab fried rice 10/10 - flavorful, filling, relishes, perfectly seasoned. A masterpiece perhaps.. I recommend getting it. Guacamole & Chips 10/10 blended perfectly. I personally would have like it spicy but I didn't ask for that. The chips were seasoned which is so important and much appreciated. The Jacy 10/10 - an amazing cocktail that was wonderfully balanced. Autumn spiced w/Tequila 10/10 - taste like a holiday honestly lol. I like my drinks more on the bitter side. So... heads up, it is not sweet. It's just balanced.

Fast-forward to circa now, and it still has a special place in my heart, for the memories and the oyster special... I met up with girlfriends for their social hour (Tue-Thu 4-6pm) and we had such a memorable (and filling) experience. (Social hour is supposed to be in the bar area only, but they allowed us to grab a seat in the dining area because it wasn't busy at all.) Social hour offers $2 east coast oysters and other discounted bites and drinks. We each started with our very own order of a dozen oysters (three different varieties) and split the fries. We also each got the buratta and boquerones salad (SO GOOD); I added an order of their happy hour ceviche. Oysters, salad, ceviche... I was stuffed. Def get their dill martini. Trust.

Although I like the Gray St. location a little better taste wise for my dynamite shrimp, I think that the University Blvd location is easier to get a reservation. This is a really good choice for date night, a family event or a girl's night. Always nice, clean and bright. Surprisingly, the chicken Parm is one of my favorite dishes here. It's probably top two for me and I've had a lot of chicken Parm. The burger is my second choice; it is so good! One of my favorite appetizers is the Dynamite Shrimp and the salad that's under has a fire dressing that they should bottle. But overall, I've tried several things with the people I've gone with, and there's nothing bad on the menu. Definitely get a reservation in advance... This isn't really a place you can just walk in unless you're sitting at the bar and you've gotten there at a good time. Parking is valet at the gray street location. It's very hard to find regular parking there. You can find parking pretty easily at the University Blvd location. My only real complaint is the service is slow... And I've had different servers at different locations and they all don't really move with a sense of urgency. It takes them a while to get back to you so you can place an order... It takes a while for them to bring out your drinks. Overall, just slow service and that's why I deducted a star.

The cocktails were O.K, one margarita came out as tequila on the rocks, which was just ridiculous, and the staff have a basic idea of what goes into a mojito, but no real skill at making one.

She them proceeded to mean mug us for the next 45 minutes as we pushed past 90 minutes as a form of protest. We quit purchasing food, and drink and just sat there looking at her, daring her to come over and enforce her little power trip time limit. Never happened. The food was amazing, very well done.

Back at one of my favorites!…read more Started with the Smoked Redfish Dip and, as always, it did not disappoint. Creamy, smoky, flavorful, and paired with warm crackers... an easy 10/10. 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

I really wanted this to be a hit. Seafood, oysters, alcohol....vibes and a time right? It wasn't…read more I tried the bang bang shrimp, fried pickles, and chargrilled oysters. Something simple that should be an easy win. Unfortunately, everything leaned the same direction: either it was heavy, over-sauced, or overly garlicky. It tasted more like dressed-up frozen food than something thoughtfully prepared. And listen...I don't mind indulgent. But there still has to be balance and fresh food. Fresh like it was raw and delivered today, not fresh like fried in the last 15 mins. When everything is coated, covered, and competing, nothing actually stands out. The drinks didn't help either. They leaned hard on alcohol without much flavor behind them--more "this will get you there" than "this tastes good." Nothing was terrible. But nothing made me want another bite, either. And with seafood, that's kind of the whole point. The atmosphere is friendly, great music, and the service was very attentive. Even the presentation wasn't bad. It just wasn't enough. But at some point, you stop asking what's missing and just accept that it's not landing. I was still hungry so I went next door hoping for a better experience. I want to be clear: It's not bad. It's just not working.
