3.0 of 5 stars. 4 stars for the chicken fried steak--hands-down the best I've ever had. If not for the chicken fried steak, I'd give Goodson's 2 stars. Anything else I've eaten there has been bland and greasy.

Wednesday - Chicken & Dumplings

I highly recommend going to Goodson's on Wednesday at lunch for the Chicken and Dumplings. They are VERY good - grandma style dumplings that can't be beat.
