Nostalgia will only get you so far. I ordered the perch dinner and my friend ordered the shrimp basket. I know this is a corn beef place but I wasn't in the mood. I watched the cook pull a bucket out of the fridge containing a milky liquid and raw fish fillets. He tossed the fillets in what appeared to be white flour. Dropped them in the grease and walked way. A few minutes later a waitress dropped 2 bags of frozen shrimp on top of that. The grease cooled and my fish simmered in a frothy goo. When we were served my friend asked for cocktail sauce. After several minutes of stalling and acting busy, the waitress admitted, they didn't have any. The fries were cold, the slaw WAS GOOD.
My fish tasted spoiled... I did not eat it and I didn't eat the cold fries. The waitress took my 5 dollar tip and never asked why I didn't eat. And I'm a fat guy! I obviously love to eat!! I def will not go back. It's a real shame too! I hear goodmans was awesome! This place will be out of business soon. Just wait and see.
