We have driven by several times and stopped in. The atmosphere was good, good service, and great food for the price! Definitely worth stopping in again for something else from the menu! Thank you!

This is an awesome place to stop in at great food and service always!! It's a must-go-to place if traveling in New Baden Illinois!! We lived there many years ago and it is a charming town still!! Have specials each day and on Sunday's all you can eat the tastiest chicken around!!

Went in for dinner service on a Tuesday. The fried mushrooms and ribs starters were perfect. I had the catfish for mains which was also excellent, and a bigger portion than I was ready for after the starters. Service was busy, but excellent staff was doing a great job not losing it under pressure from my angle.
Patty J.
My son and I were traveling across the country for my new job. We saw the sign and wanted a home cooked meal. We were NOT disappointed!! We had the best BBQ Ribs, and Smoked turkey EVER!!!

Found this small family owned restaurant while we visiting a friend in New Baden IL. Its a very quaint restaurant, with homemade food. The waiter and waitress staff seemed friendly and attentive to our needs. The food was good, nothing flashy, just good quality food. The photo I shared is the Patty Melt with their house made chips. My spouse had their fried chicken which was really good, the coating was crunchy she said. If you're in the New Baden area, I would highly recommend Good Ol' Days.

Food just like G-Ma used to make, "Best fried chicken around these parts" All you can eat chicken on Sundays!

We are traveling and decided to get dinner when stopping for gas and boy what a treat. The food was amazing as well as the service. Best fried chicken we've had in years. Our only regret is we wont be coming back this way to visit again.

Love the food there. The chicken is soooo0o good! Plenty of sides to choose from and plenty of dishes to choose from if you dont want chicken. Not overly expensive and serving sizes are big.
Debralle W.
Great people amazing food. This is mine and my bestie favorite place to go weekly. The prices are low and the portions sizes are high. That's not easy to find nowadays.

Best home cooked meal at a restaurant! We had the turkey with stuffing and golden fried chicken. Cooked juicy! Appetizer of onion chips, would love those on a burger! And the rolls, so soft and delicious. Small town, friendly atmosphere. If you're driving down i64, stop!
