I had a chance to catch up with my good friend who lives in Beaverdale over lunch at GoodSons, a popular Beaverdale restaurant. I had only been there for drinks and appetizers before and enjoyed the hummus plate and friendly service.
They offer a selection of panini's, salads, cold sandwiches and desserts. Appetizers are only $5 on Monday's.
The restaurant was pretty empty at lunchtime on a Wednesday afternoon, but half of the parties there had kids along. GodSons doesn't offer a kids menu but a grilled cheese panini is on the menu and if your kiddo isn't picky could easily share. The tables are actually chalk boards and they have chalk available to go to town on the tables with. That really helped to keep my friend's kiddos entertained while we ate. They also didn't mind that we brought along some snacks from home for the kids.
While it took a little longer than we hope for our meals to arrive, it was worth the wait since they both came out hot and fresh. My vegetarian friend was impressed by the uniqueness of the veggie panini. Lots of fresh roasted veggies with a good amount of heat (spicy) and very filling. I really liked the cheeseburger panini with lots of gooey cheese. The crunchy panini crust was a welcome change from a normal bun. The potato salad wasn't particularly noteworthy, but it was cold and tasty and went well with our panini's. At around $8 for a panini it was nice lunch and would make a great dinner as well. Check it out and don't be afraid to bring the kiddos along for lunch.
