What People Are Saying About Goode's Armadillo Palace
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – With ice-cold beer, saddle barstools and cowboy memorabilia, the Armadillo Palace appeals to those in search of a traditional Texas meal, served up in a dining room that's as much a museum of Texana as it is a saloon. Menu highlights include Tex-Mex inspired appetizers, traditional Goode's barbecue and juicy, half-pound burger dressed with all manner of cheesy, spicy or grilled toppings. Past the game room and whiskey bar is the patio where you'll find the occasional crawfish boil.

Don't Schedule Events Here!
by QueenElectric at Citysearch
We had booked the entire restaurant for 80+ guests months in advance of the event, but when reconfirming a month prior to the dinner, they claimed they could not honor the booking to close the restaurant down, but would only "rope off" an area or give us the patio (right by Kirby Drive!!!), as the manager who booked the dinner was no longer employed there. No apologies, no remorse, extremely rude and arrogant about it. Fortunately we were able to secure a fabulous location and caterer so the event turned out even better. Guess they didn't mind losing the business. PS I was required to give at least one star rating - my preference would be NO stars.
- Cons: Reneged on Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Booking

Horrible custoemr service, at bar and valet
by Kristen26 at Citysearch
Bartenders are rude. Very short and not nice at all. Seem annoyed that you are there.
Valet rude - when I asked for change for a ten, they said "ok, so 5 back" NO! I asked for change for a ten! Not five! When I said no, change for a ten, give me 9 back, the valet said, "Come on, at least 8" Really?! Are you kidding me?! This could have ended much nicer, but it is completely rude to contradict my tip, or even to assume a $5 tip in the first place. I just lost my job on Friday and was there to visit a past colleague. I only used the valet in the first place because there were NO PARKING SPACES. Horrible parking too, now that I think about it.
- Pros: Serve drinks
- Cons: service is horrible

Terrible place with worst manager ever
by ustomer at Citysearch
Manager has no neck and no morals and manager is a ridiclous fockhead and egoist. Owner obviously does not care as they leave the manager in place.
- Pros: nothing
- Cons: manager is a ridiclous fockhead and egoist
