spicy jalapeno fries, Good Girl Dinette |
Good Girl Dinette is a perfect snapshot of Highland Park at this moment
—incrementally gentrifying, but still a humble, unflashy place. Owner/chef Diep Tran cooked at Eagle Rock’s Blue Hen and ran a catering company before starting Good Girl a year ago. The high-ceilinged space is spare and a bit echoey; dinner here (or lunch on weekends) feels like getting invited to an impromptu dinner party at a cool loft-dwelling friend’s house.
Good Girl Dinette's famous chicken curry pot pie |
Don’t miss the spicy fries, topped with a flurry of diced jalapeno, chopped garlic and cilantro—order them with cilantro-Maggi mayo on the side. Beef stew ($10) sounds prosaic, but balanced five-spice powder seasoning, chunks of carrot and good quality beef cubes lift elevate it. Drinks include Vietnamese coffee or housemade citrus soda; and there’s free corkage.

Thanks so much for this post! It's going next on my Highland Park musts. :)
Thanks for the info! My boyfriend just moved to Highland Park and we need some new restaurants to check out.
OMG. curry + pot pie, love it!
I was super excited when I moved to Mt. Washington and saw this cute little place, but after 3 tries, I'm not convinced. It's a little pricey for what it is and a little bland.
That said, the staff is really nice, but I'd rather drive the extra 5 minutes to Lemongrass.
