Heads Up.. This place gets Packed for lunch. Food service and ambiance was all so great! (Our server was Jessica, super sweet!) it got SUPER busy after we walked in, but she always tended to us and asked if we needed anything while waiting, thank you Jessica! WHAT WE ATE: I had the ORTEGA CHICKEN Sandwich, I recommend (for chicken sandwich eaters) with a side salad, I love me a fresh garden salad! My husband had their regular cheeseburger but with bacon (forgot what it's called) fries were Excellent! Both were MUCH bigger than expected (Good thing, we left so full) haha We will be back for Shakes next time Thank you You for a 'Good Time' read more

Good Times Café was extremely overpriced for the quality of the food. We ordered four meals and two drinks, and our total was around $100. The fried food, including the chicken strips, was not good at all. The Colossal Burger had a pretty good flavor, but the meat was overcooked, and at $20, it definitely wasn't gourmet quality. Honestly, it felt more like a $12 burger. I ordered the patty melt--the rye bread was good, but that was about it. The burger itself was dry. Unfortunately, the quality just didn't match the prices, and we left disappointed. read more

Been here a few times I've never had the breakfast but it looks pretty good. We were driving around town couldn't decide on what to eat so we decided to come here since the hamburgers are always fresh anyways no got there got seated promptly. We got a attended by a young lady. The only thing that caught my attention is that the language they were using in the restaurant while we were there eating I mean no profanity was used, but what they were talking about isn't something that should be talked about in a restaurant with kids but other than that the food was good. The service was great. My daughter did find a hair in her soup, but we didn't say anything. We just left it alone, but the prices are good. The burgers are good and the place is awesome.love all the walls picture beautiful view and clean. read more

This place is so cute and nostalgic . We wanted to grab a bite to eat before we headed back home and this place popped up . When we walked in we were greeted right away and waited less than 5 minutes for a table . I got the chicken sandwich with buffalo fries and a Diet Coke with strawberry syrup . Overall I enjoyed the food . The chicken had good flavor to it and it wasn't dry . The buffalo fries were super yummy and I also enjoyed how you can add in your own syrup . I can tell this place is loved by both the locals and out of towners alike . read more

I can't believe it's been 4 years since I've been here! Was craving lunch this afternoon and came to see what spots had any recent good reviews; Good Times was one of them. Glad I chose to come here today! Felt like getting delivery, food came hot and fresh, soda was a little less carbonated but still had really great flavor. Burger was sooooo good! Got the Great Balls of Fire and added some bacon to it! Patty was juicy, lettuce and tomato were fresh, pepper jack cheese was a great choice for this burger and the bacon was the cherry on top. The Buffalo Chips are an absolute sleeper! Best substitute for fries, almost like waffle fries and homemade potato chips had a baby. Crispy, flavorful and delicious! Make sure to get a side of the house made ranch for dipping. Love how even after 4 years this place still has the ultimate customer service. They still wrote a sweet note on my bag and it's the little things like that, that make me wanna come back, they truly care about their customers. Ambiance is always great when you come to eat here. Old school diner vibes! Love it! Such a gem of a restaurant on Mooney Blvd, shouldn't be skipped on if you're looking for some incredible burgers, plus they have breakfast and tons of other delicious items to choose from on their menu if you're not in a burger mood. But once you've had one, you're gonna wanna make this a regular stop. read more

I placed an order at 10:16am for a friend to pick up. Unfortunately, my friend was running late, instead of handling the situation professionally, the employee, Dyanna, called me multiple times. The first call would have been the perfect opportunity to simply ask for payment if that was the issue, but she didn't. By the second call, her attitude and tone were incredibly rude and unprofessional. A little courtesy goes a long way. Instead of speaking respectfully or calmly explaining the situation, I was met with unnecessary attitude. I understand businesses have policies, but there's no excuse for treating customers with disrespect. If payment was needed that could have been communicated politely from the start. This experience left a bad impression, and customer service like this makes me think twice about ordering from Good Times Cafe again and you should as well. read more

Good Times Café is exactly what the name says--it's always a good time here. The only thing that throws me off is that this diner (that serves breakfast!) doesn't open until 9. That's late for a breakfast spot, but once they open, it's worth it. The food is solid all around. Breakfast is excellent--the thick-cut bacon is my favorite, and the cup of chili is the perfect side to go with pretty much any meal. The burgers and fries are also really good, with that classic diner flavor that hits the spot. The ambiance is pure old-school diner, and the service is top-notch. The staff is friendly, the food comes out fast, and the plates are put together so well they almost look like art. I love this place, and if you give it a try, you probably will too. read more

Such a fun and delicious place to eat! My son and I went here and had a wonderful time and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food is! We both got the Duke burger, we shared a side salad and he got a chocolate milkshake. The milkshake tasted like quality ice cream and the patty on the burger was so flavorful. This has become a new favorite! read more

The food is amazing!! We had the jailhouse rock burger. The soft roll with grilled veggies and melted cheese was pure indulgence of fine flavors!! Sadly they will not be selling it no more. The menu has changed but the food and service is great. The reason why we we're able to purchase the jailhouse burger is because the picture was still on the napkin holder. Please bring back the burger. read more

For juicy burgers and delicious fries this place is a must! I didn't know this place existed until I casually started searching diners. The meat quality was amazing, nice juicy thick patty, not over cooked like most burger places. They also use Harris Ranch beef. The inside of this place takes you back to a classic diner spot. The service was great super friendly and helpful. Will be back to try out more of their menu. read more

This is a cute little 50s style diner. The walls are covered with memorabilia and the waitresses are wearing poodle skirts. Our waitress was very atrocious and friendly. First, we split a banana strawberry milkshake. There were three of us splitting it because we each just wanted a small bit, but it was even less than we expected. They only brought us the glass, they didn't bring the remainder in the tin like diners typically do. It tasted great though. I had the BLT with avocado on sourdough. It was pretty good, but the bacon and the bread were pretty greasy. I also had a side salad, which was tasty and fresh, a pretty standard diner side salad. Overall we had a fun meal. read more

We always love our visits here. The food is perfectly classic and always hits the spot. Our server today was so sweet and attentive, which made the experience even better. The decor is abundant and nostalgic--every wall is covered in an eclectic mix of '50s pieces, and not a single item has dust on it! It's honestly impressive how clean this place is, especially with such a cozy space and so much character packed in. read more

This place is cozy and the staff was very welcoming! I love the 50's theme. I had The Fonz burger with sweet potato fries and my hubby had the Blue Hawaii burger with a side salad. Everything was tasty. I loved the sweet potato fries. read more

Great service and delicious food! Love the theme and friendly atmosphere! A must try!

The place is cute especially if you love the 50's /60's. The food was ok, not anything crazy special. The chili beans were homemade so it's better just as a chili and not in your fries in my personal experience. The staff was super seeet and was on top of our service. Overall it was good but I don't think it's a place I'd ever come back too. read more

New to Visalia and was looking for a place to take the family that came to visit. Thought the old school look would be cool, and I'm a big burger guy. Got the Wake up Little Suzi with garlic fries. Big fan of burgers that include egg. Reminds me of the Royal Robin from Red Robin. Pretty good solid burger would definitely order again. Garlic fries were fine. Want to try their buffalo chips or loaded fries next. Server was friendly, and service was quick. Definitely enjoyed the old school diner feel. read more

We've visited Good Times many times over the years and it NEVER disappoints. The service is always fast and friendly, the prices are good for the plate full of food you get, and the food itself is always excellent. We all have our favorites; burgers, chicken burgers, and sammiches- everything is delicious. And their sides! SO good. While their garlic fries are bombdiggity, I HIGHLY recommend the Buffalo Chips! They're like rippled, deep fried potatoes, and They... Are... Amazeballs! Dip 'em in some ranchy ranch (or ketchup- you really can't go wrong with these things), and your taste buds will thank you. The restaurant has a great 50's vibe to it, and all the main dishes have fun 50's themed names. So head on over, and travel back in time to enjoy a great meal in a fun spot. And don't forget to ring the bell on your way out! read more

I can't believe I have never written a review for this place! We love the classic 1950s diner experience, feels like something you stepped back into time to enjoy. The food is casual Americana but with a unique spin; everything is named after 1950s pop culture icons, Really cool! We love that the food portions are always generous, food quality is on point and always has excellent additions depending on the time of year. We loved the recommendations from the staff; and we will enjoy some pumpkin loaves this thanksgiving! The staff are always so welcoming and friendly and make you feel that your entire experience is enjoyable. Come out and check out this gem in town, you won't be disappointed! read more

upon entering this café diner, you feel transported back in time with the retro music of the 1950's-1960's playing throughout. great fun! our server, dressed as a 1950's waitress was welcoming, friendly & efficient. despite how busy it was, our food arrived very quick. my husband ordered a burger & chili fries and was very happy with how his meal turned out. he said it was the best burger he'd had in a long time. i had ordered their fish & chips. their fries tasted fresh, crisp & perfect but i have to say i was disappointed in the cod; the outside was a bit soggy but looked burnt so that was strange. the inside of cod was soggy too. the only thing that saved my fish & chips were the lemon & tartar sauce masking the sogginess. read more

Last week was my first and probably last time at Good Times. My husband and I went in for a late lunch after deciding to try something new. I first ordered an iced tea which I sent back due to it tasting like coffee. My husband ordered a burger with buffalo chips and I ordered a BLT with fries. The coating on the buffalo chips had almost completely fallen off and they had no flavor, and both sandwiches weren't anything to write home about. Our waitress was fine and the ambiance was a little in the cramped side. Our tab was over $50 not even including the tip! We could have gone to Wimpys or something similar and received twice the amount of food for half the price. Very expensive for what we received. I think we will be sticking to our normal local spots. read more

I wanted to gate keep this place but I'll be nice and share. Every time I have to come to Visalia for work I will stop by here and get a burger. Easily top 5 burgers in the Central Valley. They say it's the Harris ranch beef that they use, whatever it is it's incredible highly recommend !!! read more

I recently visited this place and the place is cute and the staff are friendly. However, I found the food to be just okay--nothing that really stood out. It's a nice place to hang out, but I was hoping for more from the menu. I got the breakfast sandwich with spam and country potatoes. The potatoes tasted a bit stale as if they were made earlier that morning. Overall, a 3.5/5. read more

Retro 50s diner vibe. Super friendly attentive staff. Onion rings were Delicious. Crispy and delicate. Hubby and I both agreeded they made the whole trip work the visit. Mr's Hunk of Burning Love burger was massive. I loved my Hula Burger. Both had perfectly cooked bacon and all the ingredients were excellent quality. Chili is spicy, so beware. Meaty texture just what you look for in diner chili. We will be going back next time we are in town to try more selections read more
