    Fried Cod Sandwich
    Linda S.

    Stopped in for lunch on a Friday before noon and the place was filling up quickly. We had a server named Grace, who did a fantastic job. Our iced tea was refilled several times without having to ask. I had the cod sandwich on rye. It was huge, had a delicious dill tartar sauce, lettuce and a yummy summer tomato...two fat slices. Green beans were good, just a hint of ham, thankfully not overdone or swimming in fatty bacon broth. My husband enjoyed a generous bowl of potato soup and fried green tomato BLT. He loved it. It's not gourmet, it's solid American fare with an excellent, varied menu. There were many older people this day, clearly they found a niche in providing familiar comfort food at a reasonable price. Though bustling, it was not loud and the food came quickly. Lots of smiles and thank you. You can tell when a place is well managed and that is the case here. Also, it's easy to park right out front. We will return!

    Sparkling strawberry lemonade and the beautiful seasonal features menu.
    Elizabeth G.

    I really wanted to like this place especially as it was recommended to me by a bartender who I could tell had very good taste in restaurants but my experience there for dinner recently was not satisfactory enough. Immediately when I walked in, I was greeted by a host who had a total lack of warmth or friendliness. My server didn't exactly exude warmth either but he was much better and did a good job attending to my needs. I got one of the dinner specials, the pork chops with two sides. I chose mac and cheese as well as fried green tomatoes. The latter and the dipping sauce they came with were delicious. But, the mac and cheese was lukewarm and the pork chops were dry. What I ordered was nicely displayed though. I also was pleased to see that seasonal favorites were offered on the menu. When I asked about non-alcoholic beverages, my server didn't appear to have any preexisting mocktails but was willing to make something for me or suggested lemonades and we settled on a sparkling strawberry lemonade and that was delicious. I was disappointed, though, when I left although a number of workers were gathered by the door no one told me to have a good night or thanked me for having dinner there. I probably won't be returning though I recognize my server was quite good. Thinking more about it, it was a rather strange dining out experience in that I don't think any worker at any time smiled at me. And I am not a mean person!

    Came on a Friday evening and it was busy but there were plenty of open tables. Service seemed kind of slow but the staff seemed busy. Running around trying to clean tables, bring out plates, check on customers. I ordered a sweet tea right away. It came with a free refill. The first one was watered down but the second glass tasted a lot better. Smooth and refreshing. Not too sweet either. I'd order again! We ordered some apps to try: fried green tomatoes and BBQ chicken wings. Delicious! And bigger portions than we thought! We finished the tomatoes but had to take home the wings. For my entree, I got chicken fried chicken. Food comes with 2 sides. I tried the Caesar salad and Mac and cheese. The Caesar was good. Pretty big for it being a side salad! The Mac and cheese was okay. Kinda lacking in flavor. I like it cheesy with a bit of a crust on top from being in the oven. This just wasn't that. The chicken was good but large! Not bad. Usually it's pounded thin. Still good though! My family got: chicken tenders with fries and green beans, 2 piece dark with mashed potatoes and green beans, and grilled chicken with fries and mixed vegetables. Portion sizes weren't bad. Again, it's a lot of food! You really don't need to get apps unless you're super hungry. They have a lot of TVs in every angle so you can catch ESPN. We didn't stay too long to catch any games. Overall, I like it here! It's a good spot to find southern cooking.

    If you like southern home cooked cuisine then you'll enjoy this restaurant. The fried green tomatoes are to do for. Chicken livers crispy with a white gravy to complement on the side. Macaroni and cheese was creamy. The sauce for the ribeye hot brown was delicious. Will definitely be back to try another dish.

    Second time there and it was great again!! my wife ordered the cornbread and really liked it. I got the side salad and it was great with their homemade dressing. I love their fried green tomatoes. I ordered the fried four piece chicken dinner. they let you pick what pieces you like so I got two breasts and two wings. their chicken was great and crispy and not greasy. we enjoyed the macaroni and cheese and coleslaw. our waiter, Adam, did a great job. we made reservations for Easter brunch buffet.

    Reese's peanut butter chocolate pie
    Kim R.

    Stopped in today for a late lunch. Seated right away. The honey chicken salad sandwich never disappoints. Friendly, attentive service from Bryan M, who was very engaging. Finished our lunch with a slice of Reese's peanut butter pie which did not disappoint!!

    Half Club Half Caesar Salad- huge portions.
    Leah C.

    If I could rate this place 10 stars I would! Our experience from the time we walked in until we left was top notch all around. The lady who sat us was super nice, and Desmond our waitress was phenomenal! She kept our drinks full and even brought to go drinks. She was also respectful of my son's tree nut allergy. Pecans are a huge trigger on him and she made sure no items that had touched the pecans touched his food. This momma is very appreciative of that. The food was hands down the best home town cooking I've had in a long time and the prices here are so good. We live about 2 1/2 hours away and will definitely come back if we are down here for an event in the future. Thank you for excellent experience. To the owner- you have amazing staff!

    This place was super busy for a weeknight! So that's always a good sign! Despite being busy, the food came out super quick! I loved the fried green tomatoes with comeback sauce. The classic hot brown was also delicious. The portions are HUGE. Definitely didn't need an appetizer beforehand, but the appetizer was worth it! The vegetarian hot brown, on the other hand, was not great. The fried mushroom that makes up the base of the hot brown got super soggy in the sauce, and it was a very random assortment of vegetables on top without much flavor. However, props for having a vegetarian hot brown option on the menu! Plenty of parking in a lot for the strip mall!

    Our server was amazing! Very friendly and engaging. We had three generations and he related so well to all. Bryan was wonderful. We didn't find out until we were leaving that it was only his second day! He's a keeper for sure! Our food was delicious. We all fad something different and everyone enjoyed their meal.

    Large Chef Salad with shrimp
    Jase C.

    Tonight my husband and I stopped in for dinner. I ordered the large chef salad with ranch and added shrimp -- it was delicious and really hit the spot. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. My husband went with the jalapeño burger (not pictured), and he really enjoyed it too. Our waitress was young and seemed pretty new, so she wasn't totally familiar with the menu yet, but she was sweet, attentive, and clearly doing her best -- which goes a long way in my book. Overall, The Goose remains one of those dependable neighborhood gems -- tasty food, friendly service, and a welcoming vibe. We'll definitely be back!

    The Goose is good. It is unpretentious and delivers quite well what it should aspire to. I'll go back.

    Came by for dinner with a friend! It's open 24/7 and they serve breakfast all day…read more Had to go for the burger of course! $15 for the combo which comes with fries and a drink. The burger was nice and juicy. Couldn't taste the special sauce. Would love more of it on there. Fries were crispy and had a nice seasoning. My friend ordered the same thing and later on wanted something sweet, so he got a milkshake. Not bad! Service was quick. One server. He was very personable and funny. Made conversation with customers and didn't seem rushed/stressed. There are two rooms with tables but people kept coming in and out. It got busy ish but not slammed. Some were in groups and some came alone. Also saw a few folks do take out orders. Honestly, I would love to come back! The breakfast looked good. Parking lot was a little strange. A few spots in front. And the entrances are not super noticeable (at least for me they weren't!).

    I paid $17.91 for a burger and fries. The fries were $4 extra, and when I opened the box, I laughed…read moreand took a photo, because are you kidding me? I don't expect an entire separate box of fries, but more than 10 would be nice- especially for $4! They were sure to tack on a $1 service charge as well, even though I was picking the food up. Burger Girl used to be a Louisville classic, but lately that's come to mean less "don't skip this if your life depends on it" and more "renowned for their awful food." As time goes on, I am honestly becoming more and more disappointed with Burger Girl. The point of a greasy spoon is to be cheap, quick, and filling, and Burger Girl misses on all of those fronts. For their prices I could go to a nicer restaurant with better food and a better experience. Honestly, as inflation continues to soar and quality continues to plummet, I find myself asking why I even bother going out, when I know I'll just be disappointed in the end. This might be the last straw for me, at least when it comes to Burger Girl. It just doesn't feel worth it anymore.
