The Goose: Reviews & Ratings

Second visit was as good as the first. Great staff and food. Everyone was super friendly and quite helpful. The outdoor seating was nicely populated because it was an actual cool night and the patio was perfectly shaded around 630. The tenders and burgers are the way to go. So far I've had the tenders fried and grilled and both ways are delicious! Also the cauliflower wings are quite outstanding as well. *Update Went in yesterday for lunch and not only was it as good as I remembered but Sarah took care of me so well that the goose is in my top 5 of lunch spots !

Tried this place out weekend of Halloween . Wasn’t crowded at all . Location and decor was chill. I can tell parking may be an issue if they are extremely busy . Our server did her job . That’s the most I can say . However her coworkers were really good and even checked on my date and I from time to time. I ordered a lemon drop from their list of drink specials . It didn’t have shot next to it like the other drinks. She didn’t ask nor inform me that it was in shot form (I wanted a martini ) but it was really good . The food was really tasty ! I had the Greek salad but switch the dressing . My date had the hot honey wings and some type of sandwich that was divine ! EVERYTHING was delicious . Definitely will be back .

We ate here a few days ago for the first. The food was excellent! Highly recommend the chicken kabobs & fried pickles. The service was excellent & they had the cutest little purple headed bartender! All our drinks were great! Place was very clean & nice. I will definitely be back!

Before the Cake show, we walked down to The Goose for burgers. Of the four of us, it was 50/50 - two of us liked our burgers and two said they were just OK; kinda dry. The fries were sub par across the board. It's bar service and the staff were calm and efficient even when things started cranking. Our drinks were good and everything came out quickly. Our server was very friendly and helpful as well. The interior is pretty cramped for me and gets loud when people start filling the place. The patio is better, but I think that's just the vibe of the place and some people will like it. Overall I like the Goose and it definitely has its place in Avondale.
