The pies, the pies, the pies!!!! Ok, so side of ham I started with was phenomenal...loved it. Then I had a t-bone steak, cooked to a perfect medium rare. All the while I could not stop looking at the pies though and we ordered 3 amongst two of us. Rhubarb was AWESOME, Gooseberry was AMAZINGLY AWESOME, and the Pecan was F'n AMAZINGLY AWESOME. If you are in Golden City ever (and you probably won't be) do not miss Cooky's! And then go to Golden City Meats after, then visit Cheryl at Dogwood Farms. I really dig this little community and will be back!
Review Source:Excellent homemade food and pies. My wife and I have eaten here half a dozen times, even though it is out of the way, and we love it. It is always busy with a mix of locals and foodies. Their fried chicken is very good, the mashed potatoes and gravy are homemade. They always have a large selection of homemade pies. Definately worth the detour off of highway 71.
Review Source:I heard a lot about Cooky's so I traveled over an hour to eat at this place. I ordered the fried chicken dinner and cherry pie. The fried chicken was above average, the fries were fine but the green beans were canned. If I were to grade my pie it would have received a "B". The crust was flaky. My wife's pie deserved an "A-" (she had the chocolate pecan pie) but her brisket dinner was lacking salt and left more to be desired.
If Cooky's were in my neighborhood, I would go back, but I would not drive out of my way to eat at this place again.
