10/21/2021 – Goodfolks is officially open in Georgetown!
The restaurant is open for lunch daily, except Tuesdays, and they look forward opening up their dinner hours for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, starting Thursday, October 28th as they continue their soft opening and are planning their grand opening.
Goodfolks told Hello Georgetown they are looking forward to rolling out new menu items often.
9/29/2021 – We have an update for you on Goodfolks coming to Georgetown! Goodfolks will specialize in elevated comfort food and many menu items will include southern favorites, including “the crispiest fried chicken you’ve ever had,” Chef Justin Manzi told us.
Each dish will taste just like, “something Grandma made,” Chef Justin Manzi told Hello Georgetown, and will include:
- Chicken and Waffles
- Truffle Mac and Cheese
- White Pimento Cheese
- Fried Pickles
- Crawfish
- Hush Puppies
- Biscuits and Gravy
- Pies
- Boozy and Craft Milkshakes
- And More!
The scratch made kitchen will make their own bread products including their burger buns and biscuits. Burger fans can also look forward to Texas Red Akaushi Wagyu beef in every burger bite!
In addition to their menu, Jayme Austin told Hello Georgetown the restaurant is also highly focused on the experience customers have too.
“I really hope we put out a good, comforting vibe where people can come in and they don’t feel rushed or want to be pushed out of here,” Mitchell Donahue, General Manager at Goodfolks, told Hello Georgetown. “The idea is to feel like you’re going to a family member’s house and you’re more than welcome to stay as long as you like and if you want pie a half hour after you eat dinner, then that’s not an issue. We have a full service bar, we have boozy milkshakes and we really want people just to stay and feel at home.”
In the future, the team added, they plan to offer a Sunday Supper Club that brings the community together and highlights local chefs and products. All of this, is in an effort to support and serve a community that has already been so welcoming to Goodfolks.
“I feel really excited about being part of the community and I think the community has also made us feel really welcomed as well, and that’s an unbelievable feeling when you have so much going on and on your shoulders,” Donahue said. “It feels like you have family there to help you out in any aspect, which is incredible for us.”
Goodfolks is projected to open October 18th.
Stay tuned for future updates!
