Customer Reviews
First time here and I'll ne coming back soon. Everything was cooked to perfection. Got Fried Okra for appetizer and the Fried Catfish for sides I got the Collared Greens and Jalapeño Corn. The Green had such good flavor and the Corn was creamy with just the right amount of heat. Catfish was super crisp but still nice and moist. Only fall back was Appetizer and Main dish came out at the same time.
We tried wings last night with sweet potatoes and cole slaw along with corn bread. My friend also tried the fried okra. The food was great! Meals came in a basket and plastic utensils but it makes left overs fast and ready. An older building but clean and nicely decorated. We will be making return trips!
I believe they have the best collard greens I have ever had, anywhere. The catfish was also excellent, and the service was amazingly attentive. We did not want for anything. Welcome to the neighborhood!
Incredible. Im just going to say it now, the Philly cheese steak egg rolls and collard greens are on another level. The fried chicken tenders are crispy and juicy. Not even close to being dry. If you are fan of sauces. The barbq mixed with hot sauce on anything you want is insane.
OKAY LET TALK ….. I cannot believe I’ve lived in Urbandale for 2 years and just discovered Good Eats—and it’s literally right around the corner from me. This place is a TRUE hidden gem. We ordered about 30 minutes before closing, and everything was absolutely AMAZING. We had two catfish meals—perfectly fried, well seasoned, and fresh. My husband had the mac & cheese and spaghetti, and that spaghetti is hands down the best I’ve had in a long time. I had the catfish with greens (made with turkey), green beans with potatoes, okra, and WOW… those greens hit EVERY spot. The Philly steak egg rolls were unbelievable—crispy, flavorful, and packed. The quality, flavor, and care put into the food—even right before closing—says everything about this place. Worth every single cent. I will absolute
