The Goat is an absolute burger paradise! From the Classic Smash to The GOAT burger, the well-seasoned meat patties delighted our taste buds with their incredible flavors. The fries were a crunchy delight, and the top-notch service added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience. For burger lovers seeking an unforgettable meal, The Goat is a must-visit destination!
Great menu with a variety of options. The chicken burger is excellent and can be subbed in for any burger. Ordered the Blessed burger with chicken patties and it was awesome. The fries are great too. We tried the fries with the garlic aioli. The soup of the day was equally delicious, a Mexican bean and sausage soup. The cocktails are always excellent. Inventive and balanced. The music is great and the staff are super friendly.
Food is fire! Had a friend grab me some food while he was there and even being take-out was amazing. Fries crispy and perfectly salted, good quality burger. 5 stars
Decided to stop by this location just as we were walking downtown, and it did not disappoint. The greeter welcomed us quickly and we sat outside for our meal. Our server, Ian, was well-informed and extraordinarily professional. We decided to order the classic Smash burger and the Memphis Mac n' cheese, both were amazing. This is by far one of my favorite restaurants now in the area. If you haven't been here, get here and try this place out. We will definitely be back very soon!
Great atmosphere and friendly service. I ordered the Elote Power Bowl with a side of Sweet Potato Tots and it was delicious! Waitress was very helpful with accommodating my order. As I Needed to exclude some ingredients. I definitely look forward to going back!
First time here and Mia was super attentive and friendly. Food was delicious, especially the huge baked potato and The GOAT 🐐 Burger. Seating was a little tight on the main level and not the most comfortable chairs, however I would sit in them again as the food was that good.
A great selection of bar food and burgers, prepared quickly and fresh. Elote/chorizo and chips is an outstanding starter...we could've just had a couple orders of that with our craft beer. Burgers have some interesting combos, including some daily specials, and are cooked to order, using two 4 oz patties instead of a single half pound I like the industrial vibe with black iron staircase. We chose to eat at the bar, which was fine, but we will go upstairs to dine on our next visit. Decent list of beers and whiskeys.
First time visiting the GOAT, we were definitely impressed! Not only were the decorations and the atmosphere completely on point and super cool to look at, but the food was absolutely fantastic. The burgers were just wonderful, they tasted so fresh and were made to perfection! Each one of us got something different as you can see in the pictures, and we liked the hint of spice that was in everything that we ordered. The waitress was really helpful and nice, we didn't even wait that long for the food either. We will definitely be returning in the future
Just ordered a side or two of their sweet potato tots. Best thing I've put in my face for ages. Great staff, super friendly, nice vibe, patrons are super chill. Would highly recommend. Oh, and everything else on the menu is fantastic.
We stopped in on a Friday night and this place was crowded! We were told there would be about a 20 minute wait but we were fortunate to be seated in 5 minutes. We were greeted by Ian our server immediately which was very nice. We noticed they have Happy Hour Tues-Fri from 4-6pm so we took advantage of their half off cocktails and a few food specials. I had the Wisconsin Old Fashion and my wife had the Poli Old Fashion which was tequila based. Both were fantastic! We started with an order of their Street Corn Deviled Eggs which were amazing..super creamy. They do have a GF menu so my wife had a bowl of their homemade chili and I had their Italian Beef Bao trio. Both were delicious and very meaty. They have an extension whiskey/bourbon list plus their burgers looked amazing. We will definitely be back!
