| - Tried this place out on the recommendation of a friend. We went for a late lunch, we arrived around 1pm and the small diner (space for a little over two dozen people to sit comfortably) was mostly empty. (Although several people came in as we were finishing our meals.) Parking was inconvenient, but since it's in a business-industrial type area we just parked at on of the nearby businesses. The dining area itself seems clean. Washroom was tiny and smelled bad, but it's a diner after all.
I got the Goody's Burger, my friend got one of the special burgers (not on the menu, but pictures hang above the counter on the side). My burger was quite good! We tried Five Guys Burger when it opened just down the street from Goody's but I like the Goody's burger much better. My friend really enjoyed his burger as well, although it was so packed with toppings it was quite difficult to eat. Got the sweet potato fries with it, they were decent, same as you'd get at most other restaurants. (Actually I don't think I've ever had "amazing" sweet potato fries anywhere that I can recall.) My Coke came in a glass bottle which is a nice touch. Total came to about $26+tip for the two burgers (with fries) and two soft drinks.
In terms of service, the servers & cooks were all very friendly! They must get a lot of regulars coming back because several times they greeted people who came in by name. When the server heard it was our first time he took extra time to explain the menu, specials, and their non-menu burgers.
Overall a pleasant experience. I will be back ... not often though. Not because it's not good, but because it's not necessarily good for my health ... I'm sort of glad I don't live nearby, otherwise I might visit far too frequently.
