Reviews for The Old Goat in Grand Rapids, MI
Their jalapeno shrimp pasta is simply amazing - creamy with a flavorful kick to it. I highly recommend their bubbly brown as... well. Their bread is served warm and fresh. Pizza sauce was a little blend. Read more
Great food, good vibes. I got the Charley chicken sandwich. It was bangin'. We asked them to surprise us with whatever salad... they wanted to make. I do not remember what he said they were, but those too were delicious!! Read more
Great find in Grand Rapids. We stopped for lunch and had a good experience. I?d like to return for dinner to see if the food is... just a little better. Food was good and fresh, but it seemed to be lacking just a little ?flavor?? to get the full 5 stars.Their selection of ciders was pretty good though. For our appetizer, we ordered the charcuterie board. Read more
So, this place is phenomenal. The place is well done with plenty of awesome touches. The service? Excellent. TY Emily F. The... food? We didn't have the pretzel, the bread or the goat cheese appetizers, but they looked really good. Like, really good. Thepizza was excellent. I had the Rhett Butler sans mustard. What an unfortunate condiment. Regardless, what a great sandwich. Read more
This was my second visit to The Old Goat. We came on Sunday with a group of five (and a high chair) for brunch. We were told it... would be about a 45-minute wait, but only waited about 15 minutes for a table, which was nice. We expected a wait, andconsidered the food well worth it. The service was excellent, and she did a great job managing all the tables upstairs as wellas handling the long wait for food, which was a little over an hour after we sat down. $5 bloody marys were decent, unable to be"extra spicy" as requested, but good for the price. $3 for coffee = SO WORTH IT! It is rich, delicious, and excellent! $3upcharge for fries? Definitely NOT worth it. I didn't order them personally, but the tiny crispy things my companions got werelame. I assume it was due to the long wait for food, but if you're charging $3 extra for fries, they should be pretty darn good.Both agreed they were not worth the extra charge. I ordered the whisky brisket biscuit. I had expected more of a sandwich, but Iguess I should have known it was more like biscuits and gravy. The biscuit was MASSIVE, and pretty much out-shined the gravy,which was thick and mildly sweet. The brisket was hard to find in the mix, and the one piece I did find was only ok. Of the twofried eggs, one was over cooked, one was perfect. The ratio of biscuit to gravy and eggs was way off; it is SO massive. Itlasted two meals worth of leftovers, but I needed to make my own eggs and sauce to accompany it. The hot sauce I ordered tospice things up a bit was a personal portion and quite good. Wished it had been around for the bloodies! I was able to try twoof the sandwiches, the spicy chicken and the grilled cheese. Both were really great, and although I didn't get to taste itpersonally their take on French toast looked awesome and was supposedly delicious. ???? Overall, we had a very nice experienceand if we went at a less busy time, I think we would have given the food 5-stars. Will be back. Read more
First time here for lunch Saturday. Atmosphere was very cool and had piano music to enjoy as we sipped our drinks. My husband... ordered the Great Gatsby which was nade with gin, raspberry liqueur, lime juice and club soda. It was quite refreshing. Forlunch I ordered the broccoli cheddar soup. What arrived was a smooth emulsified, cream base coup exploding with flavors. Myhusband had the green cuisine. We split the board of education and highly recommend getting this charcuterie board. You won't bedisappointed. We left very satisfied and will definitely add this to our list of favorite places to eat. Read more
The atmosphere was warm and chill. It wasn?t loud at all, only someone playing the piano and light chatter. Our server was... friendly and attentive as well! Food was so good that we finished our meals before we remembered to take a photo. Wouldrecommend stopping here for some good eats! Read more
The food was good. I ordered the chicken sandwich that they have. The chicken was a little dry but adding a little bit of their... house ranch made it much better. The fries were good and the service was good as well. Read more
