[@goodallscountrykitchen]

They’re all over the place here.

Holy cow my man. You stepped it up to the next level. Your new partner is good. Your video is good. Your comments really really well done. Very impressed…

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you. I’ll have to get Mark back on there. He stole the show.

[@urockitony2]

I've watched tons of your reviews, but the quality of this place really seems top-notch. Thanks for bringing us the best of Louisville! Also, I loved the science behind the snapping turtle move.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thanks for watching!

[@michaelmiles6398]

This is gotta be one of your best videos. I'm definitely gonna try that place out.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you. I was hoping I’d get a good response and I see it is.

[@rain7289]

Thanks for your commentary!!!! I will be there for SURE!!!!!! I definitely LOVE POLLO!!!!!!!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

You’ll thank me later!

[@tomgrim]

This used to be a Starbucks a few years back. I'm happy to see something move into this spot. The food looks amazing. Hopefully something will move into the old Walmart Marketplace a few spots down and help breath some life back into this shopping center. I love Middletown and hope places like this succeed.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Amen to that!

[@JudithKY]

We ate lunch there yesterday and decided it was even better than you described but 5 hours later when my husband realized he left his wallet there and they still had it!! We were so happy we messaged all our kids and their kids to eat there, soon!!

When they get you to eat your greens, it's good🎉🎉

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

They have greens?

[@pukeymcphistyJC]

So im a huge fan of Yummy Pollo and Carali's is pretty good but this place looks like its operating at whole other level. Those green beans, though. Genius method of cooking them and a hell of a way to utilize that rotisserie to its full capacity. Can't wait to try this place. I mean, i DO love pollo, lol

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Let me know what you think afterward. I really like Yummy Pollo also. I have to give I love Pollo the edge because of the sides and appitizer

[@pukeymcphistyJC]

@goodallscountrykitchen I definitely will. I think next weekend I'm gonna go on a Goodalls Country Kitchen tour and hit up a few places you've sold me on. You'll know when I start lighting up your comment section lol

We spent the night in Gainesville on the way to Naples last summer. We were researching trying to find a place to review.pan out. Went to film a place that specialized in wings. After the first bite Melissa looked at me and said “no way”. Scrapped the video.

Their chicken is good.... just good. Okay I might bought over $60.00 worth of chicken and yes I did go back. Yes I bought more than last time, but was just test it again that the chicken was just good. Well actually I've been there a lot, but it just again test the chicken was good. I'M SORRY I MAY HAVE A PROBLEM 😢😢😢😢😢. I was Monday and nearly bought everything on the menu 😭😭😭😭😭 I HAVE A PROBLEM. Great vlog my good friend man that chicken is CRAZY GOOD!!!!

Boy this was a winner of a meal! Your belief is to eat local and support the smaller eating establishments, but I tell you that my screen is wet from drolling out of my mouth! This is not local for me 😢so maybe I should put some gum on my shoes and beat it to Louisville fast!!!! Barry, why do you tease someone who lives so far away? LOL😊

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I must be doing my job very good. Tgat was a very good compliment. But yes, get to Louisville and try them all out!

Everything looks absolutely delish yummmm. Will probably take a trip to my old stomping grounds this week and I want one of everything😋BTW. Is this the same Ernesto we used to do our mr. g’s Christmas party If it is his food was even good then some 20+ years ago

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Yes it is sane Ernesto. He knows what he’s doing for sure!

Yo Mr. Goodall 2:03 was WAAAYYYYY too loud. RIP my eardrums

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Sorry. I noticed that too.

[@chipguy11]

Actually looked like a crocodile chomp on that empanada!! yum!! Good job!!

[@hemaccabe4292]

You should really have a website where you map your reviews. The map could have links to your videos driving people to your videos. Then, when someone like me was passing through your area, we could see what places you gave positive reviews to that are close to our line of travel. I know that when I'm traveling and get hungry, I want to stop at decent little authentic local places but they are so hard to find! I end up eating crappy fast food instead.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Maybe one day I’ll be able to afford to pay someone to do all that.

[@truth4004]

It really does look good.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

It was REALLY good! Give it a shot!

[@sheliameredith1442]

Drooling ❤

[@carolbanks3414]

I tried I ❤ pollo last night. I rate it 2.5 out of 5. Chicken was room temp and had a little more flavor with the mustard sauce. Cilantro rice was delicious. Green beans were tasty but had a salt based seasoning I can’t eat. I’m going to give it another try for the empanadas, chicken sandwich and salad.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I recommend going for early lunch or early dinner to be sure the chicken is fresh off the rotisserie and still juicy.

[@kybelle457]

Very nicely done. We really like this different food concept. Food looked well prepared and fresh. Hopefully once word gets out, they can maintain such high quality. Since this isn't Ernesto's first rodeo, I imagine he's got the kinks worked out😁. Really appreciate the variety of dishes sampled. I have a couple very small suggestions/thoughts. Don't order any dish twice. Both of you got the green beans. I would have liked to have seen yet another side dish. Not a huge deal at all, just a thought. Now this next thought is just that, a thought.🙂 Maybe ease up just a bit on the whole snapping turtle, massive mouth stuffing bites. Speaking from the female perspective, a little gentler approach may appease the female viewers. Just my thinking. I know it's kinda your schtick and that's fine. I do cringe at the chicken wings though. All that gristle 😳. Again, just throwing it out there. We'll still watch regardless. Glad to see the whole channel doing well!!! 👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you as always for the suggestions. Mark and I made the mistake of not ordering at tge same time and comparing notes on what we were ordering. Rookie mistake and I acknowledge your point. Snapping turtle bites are my natural way of eating believe it or not. Yes, I’m a pig. Lol!!

[@kybelle457]

Was there any that you’ve reviewed that you didn’t like all that much but couldn’t really say because these are locally owned places? Just curious cause Honest to goodness reviews are very helpful too. Not disparaging, simply your take. 🤓 📝

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I periodically explain on my show that if a place does not meet my standards I scrap the video and move on. I also explain my show is not about talking bad about places because I’m not going to try and run anybody out of business. That’s why I do a lot of research or take recommendations from very credible sources. I cannot afford time and money to just have to throw away a video. Even with all of that I have still had to scrap quite a few videos. Looks like it’s that time again to do my periodic explanation to the audience of why all my videos are positive. I am not a restaurant critique. I am more of a Mom and Pop restaurant promoter. Thanks for being interested enough to ask that question.

[@BrendaLynn.]

@@goodallscountrykitchen I haven’t watched enough of your videos yet to get to those periodic disclaimers so thank you for doing it here - it’s good to know moving forward! And yesss your POV makes total sense! Your reviews are so engaging the way you just dig in & give reactions and descriptions! & that you share air time with your guests! Looking forward to your pro-tips like best times to go there, or what you recommend on the menu, or if the place is always busy can we call our orders ahead, or whatever it is that’s good to know based on your experience.

Ok, just throwing this out there as well. When reviewing places of people you know, it is very suspect. Grin.😂😂 Of course you're gonna love them. We'll be watching yelp reviews 🤔. Although, Dan And I really think this place looks awesome. 🤗 we could tell by your expressions, it seemed good. As for your guest, Mark. He's a good guy. However, we stand by you. Don't like anyone correcting you etc.He was a bit, outspoken. It's your channel. Don't care for you guys correcting each other etc. Yeah, we're fussy. Very loyal to Mr. Goodall. He did have a bit of a talent to explain flavors etc. Still felt like you guys were competing. Dont care for that That being said, we do appreciate other Adults reviews. Your girls are sweet, but as reviewers, well........ much nicer to have adult reviews. Your channel is really evolving. So nice. Really appreciate all the adult reviews. 👍👍👍🙏😁😁😁😁

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I thought Mark was great. I didn’t feel like we were competing. I guess because he was so good a describing things it could have seemed like it. I planned on bringing Mark back. He and I go way back and have some funny history I won’t be bringing up on any episodes. Lol!!
