Great Food, Great Place.

Tried this place today and it is all around wonderful! Friendly and welcoming staff and delicious food. The catfish is the best I've had in years! Tacos were amazing and so were the tamales! The portions were great too. We will definitely be eating here more often!

A fun couple of brothers own this place and have great variety of tamales. They even gave us first time visitors a piece of their famous spice blueberry cake. The portions are huge! My wife and I loved it!

I had a great experience at Good Gollie Tamale Restaurant! The place is spotless, and the owner is warm and welcoming. As a simple guy, I crave a solid double cheeseburger grilled to perfection with a generous side of fries during my lunch break, and this spot delivered. The staff were all smiles, the restrooms were clean, and the classic country music created a cozy, old-school Texas vibe. I'll definitely swing by again when I'm working in town!

Good Gollie Tamales is a true hidden gem—an absolute must-try! From the warm, welcoming staff to the unforgettable food, this place hits all the right notes. A big shoutout to Mike and Vincent, who went above and beyond—even sending me home with extra tamales to share with my colleagues at work. That kind of hospitality is rare and worth celebrating!

The tamales here are next-level delicious. The chicken tamales are hands down the best I’ve ever had—juicy, tender, and packed with perfectly seasoned shredded chicken. The Cajun jambalaya tamales are a bold twist, bursting with spicy sausage, rice, and that signature Louisiana flair. Every bite is rich, flavorful, and comforting.

Whether you’re a tamale lover or new to the game, Good Gollie Tamales will win you over. The staff is super friendly and will even let you sample before ordering. Once you try it, you’ll keep coming back. Do yourself a favor—check them out and show them some love!

Ashamed in myself for not having known about this spot sooner! Having grown up in arkansas man i know good catfish when i see it and theirs is one of the best ive ever had. Po boys are off the charts incredible, tamales are chunky and full of meat, absolutely amazing. I cant stress enough how satisfied you are gonna be after one of their meals ive never left hungry, if you’re considering trying their authentic food dont hesitate! You will NOT be let down 💪😎💯

Just bought some tamales at a festival today, they are hands down the best I've had!!! The guy was so very friendly, we can't wait to go try the restaurant.

Wow - Fantastic Tamales and my wife absolutely thought that the borracho beans were the best she's had this side of San Antonio! Vincent...Well he's just awesome, super friendly, good value and great tasting pork and brisket tamales. Going to make this a regular stop for sure! Thank you Vincent and team.

We had the pork tamales but sampled the chicken. Both were delicious. If you like fresh homemade tamales you will love these. The perfect ratio of masa to filling. The masa is very moist.
