    The Girl and the Goat always exceeds expectations, even when my expectations are sky high! Thank you! We had the Pig Face, String Beans, Goat Belly, and Steak. The dishes all exploded with flavors. The balance of seasonings, use of citrus, vinegar and other elements of the dishes played well and makes the culinary experience here amazing. The cocktails were yummy as well. The Peach-Te-quilla was light and refreshing. The Spicy Fat Boy had a ton of flavor. To finish the night, we had the Toffee Pumpkin cake and a neat pour of the Pappy Family Reserve. The Pappy was a treat and made a great night even more special! Thanks to Stephanie and all the team at the Goat. You are all AMAZING!

    Everything was great as usual. I really enjoy the vast beer selection. The food quality always exceeds my expectations. The only complaint is the 3% service charge for using a credit card. I understand they are only passing along the bank charge. I also think this is better than a flat charge for everyone as they have done in the past. I prefer to use a credit card and do not want to see these charges everywhere so that is why I rated 4 stars as opposed to 5. I recommend they absorb the charge as the cost of doing business and raise prices as needed.
