Generous portions. The coleslaw is slightly sweet with no mayo in it I liked it. This dinner comes with fries, coleslaw and two hushpuppys for 13.99. I got the five filet dinner it was more than enough.

Always a great time at the Good luck grill, we had an unplanned get together and Good luck grill had no problem accommodating our large party cold drinks and good food.

Ordered the shrimp basket and it only had 4 pcs of shrimp with 2 hush puppies and slaw for $14. Way overpriced. They tasted good but not a good value.

The food was not that great. Tables broken, condiments not filled. We got there at 11: 30am just before lunch. Things should be properly stocked especially since it's all self service. Save yourself the trip, try any where else.

Hands down the best fried catfish and FRIES I've had! Soul food style, so deliciously seasoned. Consider dine-in, food is crispier in person. The staff was polite, loving, and accommodating.

The restaurant is cute, looks like the wild west. I was a bit apprehensive of the ultra-southern decor but it's just decoration. The staff treated me right. The entrance can be easy to miss, there's 3 large silo/towers in the front.

The food is good. I only ever get the catfish but the folks I bring with me say that the other dishes are great also.

On my last visit I noticed something that made me very uncomfortable. I hope they reconsider their decision.

The Good Luck Grill is one of those family owned places you just have to try. They have a great outdoor space for kids and adults too! I enjoy their chili cheese fries and my sons like their bugers. They give you a lot of food for your money! The staff is friendly too.

This place is awesome. We had our wedding reception here! It's beautiful and the owner and employees are so friendly- they accommodated us in every way and the food was absolutely fantastic. If you're in Austin and looking for some good home cookin' this place is worth the drive. You won't be disappointed.

Cole slaw needs to be cooped up more small!
It's too hard to chew to whole, chunks to big to taste. TU.

My favorite catfish place!

Everything is well seasoned and there's plenty of seating room since the remodeled.

Stopped in for food with my family. 2nd visit there, first time I had the Catfish Toes which are really good! This time I tried the Chicken Fried Steak. Wasn't a very big portion for 14 and change.and it was served on a plastic disposable plate and was forced to use plastic knife and fork. For disposable Customers? Get it together guys it's not that hard to wash a plate or some silverware.

Grab a menu and order at the counter. Very friendly service from our order taker and allowed us to peer into the very clean and organized kitchen with staff wearing proper hair nets or caps.

Food preparation was fast and we got fried seafood plates. One with catfish, shrimp, and oysters, the other with just catfish and shrimp.

Nice serving sizes and delighted to find the seafood was all hand breaded, NOT pre-breaded frozen as so many casual restaurants do these days to save on labor but lower the flavor. Excellent flavor, fried to perfection. I would, however, not get the basket with the oysters next time as they were too soft in texture. This can be caused by the oil not being quite hot enough but the breading seemed fried perfectly. Interestingly, I also got a bit of a pearl breaded in one of them which is alarming but fortunately quite small. The fish and shrimp were so perfect that this was a small matter to me. The catfish was excellent, crispy, seasoned perfectly, and fresh, and the shrimp was large and just as tasty as well so those would be my go-to.

The sides need some attention. The fries were premade and frozen from their food supplier so they were fried well and just fine, but not special, and the slaw, in my opinion, was just awful. No seasoning and not even enough mayo or any other component to help it out. Very bland cabbage. It did not deserve the marriage of the excellent fried seafood and delicious hush puppies.

The plate came with 3 sauces and you can serve yourself ketchup from the bar as well. The tartar sauce and cocktail sauce were good but the honey mustard was absolutely dreadful as it was far predominantly mustard and VERY little honey. I skipped that one. Plain brown mustard with seafood is not a good thing. Not really needed anyway.

The restaurant was very clean and well kept and the staff all appeared well trained and managed, keeping up with tasks throughout our time there. Filling sauce containers, cleaning the condiment bar and refilling needed items, clearing tables etc.

At 11am on a Sunday there was plenty of space. By noon they were packed. It's a popular destination. With good reason.

I think if they worked on getting recipes the staff had to follow to make the slaw measurements concise for flavor, as well as the honey mustard an actual honey mustard, they would level up to a 5 even without handcut fries. However, they are clearly not going by a precise recipe there and it showed. I would expect that at times those sides are excellent, but just prepared far wrong today. I look forward to trying them again soon.

We skipped desserts because the pecan pies at the ordering stand clearly had machine-made, rather than scratch-made crusts and the cookies being individually wrapped usually means they don't fly out fast enough.

So fresh! The food was great, the atmosphere was welcoming without being invasive and soooo clean! And this was lunch time-meaning it was packed!

Nothing bad but also nothing outstanding. It's nice that you can get beer/wine with your meal

Everytime my SO and I are out and about while doing our 5ks and whatnot, seems like we end up in a taco place for lunch or dinner. This time, after running our race that morning and doing some antique shop browsing, we had a hungering for catfish. Thankfully, Google once again came up with a winner. Laid back atmosphere, lots of sitting space, place outdoor for kids and pets, friendly staff, quick service, and DELICIOUS CATFISH make this a great spot. Oh, and they sell beer too. Thank you!

My food was cold when I got it. The young lady behind the counter was too busy laughing and talking. When I ask see said it wasn't ready. Was setting on the counter the whole time.
