Goode’s Restaurant

If you’re hungry for a delicious, home cooked breakfast with friendly attentive wait staff, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been here on several occasions, always for breakfast. It’s our usual breakfast joint after the morning hunt during deer season. It’s a small family restaurant across from the Collins correctional facility. You walk in and seat yourself.
My last visit was on Sunday morning. Typically I see the same waitress every time I’m here. It was strange that she wasn’t this particular time, but there was no drop off in courteous service and a never ending cup of coffee.
One of the specials was potato pancakes with butter and sour cream with homemade apple sauce. My brother and I each ordered these (I never pass when I see potato pancakes on the menu). They make their own breakfast sausage which I’ve come to love so I ordered a side as well. The food came out a short time later and didn’t disappoint. Three large potato pancakes browned perfectly with just a hint of onion with a pad of butter and sour cream. The apple sauce was warm and had nice chunks of soft apple mixed throughout. The sausage delivered as it always does.
All in all, another good experience at Goode’s. The bill was around $ 25 for two large breakfasts that left us both satisfied.

Ate here the other night while visiting family in Gowanda and had their cajun fish meal, which filled me up way over the top. The portion sizes and the food were absolutely perfect! We finished off dinner by sharing some raspberry pie and peanut butter pie, yum! Highly recommend!

Good friendly service. Breakfast is generally awesome. You can get my favorite, salt rising toast. Lunches and dinners are good as well. The home made desserts are great. All the locals eat here frequently. We come every summer and they remember us by name.

Stopped here for breakfast on a whim while passing through Collins. It was pretty awesome. They make their own breakfast sausages which were almost the size of a hamburger. They bake their own breads. I had the rye that was excellent. My son had a monster breakfast that included 2 eggs 2 huge pancakes homefries. 3 sausage pattys 3 thick cut bacon also made there and toast for about 9 dollars. I would definitely make the 25 mile trip to go there again. Didn’t try the desserts but they were huge and looked really good.

Excellent food! Occasionally, some food (soup, sides) seem to be quite cold and/​or undercooked when they are served.

Every time I come back to Western New York, I want so much to gather my family and loved ones and «experience breakfast» at Goode’s in Gowanda !!!
Insofar as I am by myself out here in the lovely and grand Arizona Southwest, I NEVER treat my self to anyone else’s breakfast offerings.
Those establishments which I have tried:…“blah, blah, blah !
EXCEPT when my Western New York loved ones come out here… then it’s The GOOD EGG here in Phoenix or The GALAXY DINER north of me in Flagstaff, AZ.
…Back to Goode’s Restaurant: the BEST and MOST-​CONGENIAL wait staff and the BIGGEST and BEST-​TASTING breakfast selections back there in Western New York !!!

Great food, even better desserts and the staff are the best!

Great pies and very friendly service
