| - Long review ahead...
Please take caution.
.................................
Goody's Diner is located in an internal auto-mechanic district of scarlem.
Why did it take me this long to try it then when it's my kind of 'hood?
1. Hours(9 am - 7 pm)
2. Days( Monday - Friday)
3. Diner scheme(American{1} Foodstuff)
4. Burgers(is a Burger is a Burger{2})
5. It's not on the way to anywhere
Walking up to the building feels like you're going to work(blue collar-style).
Memories of my youth in a sweatshop(kidding), more like a jacket factory.
Inside is far from Johnny Rocket's glam, more like plain simple "suitable".
Environment fitting of it's awesome owners, staff, customers and food.
Didn't hurt that it had my favourite passtime available, CP24!
The half Fourth star is purely due to amazing family-style hospitality of the staff.
From the chef/owner to the line-cook it's all about a great open atmosphere.
It's very rare to see the enthusiasm, pride and heart from the owner's actions.
This is why if ever Food quality fails, the loyal customers will still come back.
But if what I see is true, the food will not be a disappointment, less satisfied at most.
Two of us split the first so-called appetizer, naww we just like Wings!
1LB Wings & Beer($11.95)
~Not listed but it came with a side too, chose Fries(shoe string) quite crisp.
Wings which I think might be store variety, but taste great and slight grilled yea.
Beer limited, Sam Adams being pretentious of the Coors, Blue, & Canadian.
Aunt Millie($11.95)
~I had one bite so I can't really distinguish this as a yay or nay.
~I'm a no to feta kind of person anyways so this Greek-style not my choice.
~Side(choice): Sweet Potato Fries quite standard.
~Height: 75% of the Coca Cola glass next to it.
Highwayman($11.95)
~Onion, Lettuce, Tomato, Fried Egg, Onion Ring, Smoked Meat, Cheddar
~Don't forget about the 8oz Sirloin Burger that's chargrilled non-flat top.
~Mine was overcharred outside but perfect cooked juiciness inside cancels out.
~Takes time to cook(forewarned) and assembly required(by cook).
~Side(choice): Onion Rings quite standard.
~Height: 95% of the Coca Cola glass next to it.
I overheard that they take customer's suggestions for future Burger creations.
A random pick-out-of-a-hat and see if they can get inspiration from it.
From what I see, their Burger Wall is all made from available inhouse ingredients.
Macho Nacho(Nachos), Highwayman(Sandwich), etc...
I could have probably got a personalized Wings/Fries/Beer Burger if I asked.
Wingfriesbeerger($???)
~Celery/Carrot Mayo Slaw
~Spicy! Chicken Wings(boneless pls)
~Shoe String Fries
~Guinness Cheddar Cheese(melted)
~8oz Sirloin Burger
.................................
{1} Nothing against Americans, just that Diners isn't my comfort food of choice.
{2} Nothing against Burgers, just that Burgers isn't my comfort food of choice.
Sidenote: "Who would actually order the Macho Nacho Burger?"
That was the topic between me and my friend during Burger selection.
We continued on the discussion after we left Goody's as well.
It looks like someone on Yelp turned herself in to the authorities.
I agree with you too, that's some weird Elite Yelper.
