Most Disliked
While Goody's has a lot to offer, the peak times can lead to a packed atmosphere, especially on Fridays at 6 PM when the restaurant reaches full capacity.
Some patrons note that during these busy hours, noise levels can rise, impacting the relaxed dining experience. Occasional wait times during lunch rush can also frustrate those eager to enjoy their meals. In addition, although the parking is generally good, it could become limited when the car shows occur, leading to a slight inconvenience for late arrivals. A few diners wish for more vegetarian and gluten-free options, finding the current menu a bit limited in those areas.
Lastly, as a true diner, the restroom facilities sometimes face a heavy workload during busy periods, leading to minor cleanliness concerns.

It’s been several years since we have been able to eat at Goodys. We were able to bring our kids inside to eat, and sat at the table we always sat at when my grandpa had brought us. We used to go for the $1 shakes a lot! Restaurant very clean, service was amazing and quick, food very delicious, and the shake bringing back my childhood!

I've driven past this place for years. I finally decided to give it a try. I've been missing out! This place is AMAZING! Their food is always hot and fresh. We've had the shrimp, waffle fries, regular fries, chicken sandwich and cheeseburger. This is what they call, the best kept secret
