We came to goodys in a group of 10. You go to counter and order and they will bring out. We went for breakfast so can't evaluate any other menu items. Kids had waffles they commented kind of good. Had a breakfast burrito very good size took half home. Pancakes and bacon were just average. Looking at food pictures on Yelp is about right. Portion size as expected, didn't wait long so that was good. Might come back and try lunch. It was easy for our size group read more

Great place for a quick, classic breakfast. You order first, then grab any available table, and the drinks are self-serve. I got Breakfast Plate C, and it was really tasty. I'll definitely come back whenever I'm craving a classic breakfast. read more

Standard walk-up eatery. No table service. Food is standard, nothing special. Clean.

My favorite place currently. It's never packed, the food is served quickly and it's always fresh. Best part is the consistency in quality! The waitressing ladies are always so sweet too, I had to review this place. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Price is also great considering I know my food is ALWAYS amazing. I miss diners like this. read more

I came to eat with family this restaurant. The food is really excellent. The only thing problem that I had was when I asked for ranch I was charged for ranch and I spent over $50 here and I noticed that other customers were not charged for rent so I gotta give you guys a three out of five I was gonna give you guys a five cause the food was amazing but then the whole ranch thing just the way the economy is going right now. I think that it's not right that you charge for ranch but this is my opinion. read more

$17 for a sandwich and it's tiny. If Kevin O'Leary saw this he would burst into flames.

Great local American diner with a nostalgic feel. Not only do they have American breakfast, lunch and diner, they have a Mexican menu with a variety of meals. Food is good! it is of a diner style. Prices reasonable services is quick and friendly. Walk up, ordering a meal., pay, get your own coffee and find your own seat. You get a number and they bring your food.. It is quick simple and efficient. expect to wait if you're going during a heavy breakfast times. Prices are reasonable. read more

Fast,clean. The food is excellent and the menu goes on forever. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner, I had breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly down to my eggs to the way I like my sausage. It's a must try. I can't believe they even serve dinner. It's order at the counter you sit down and they serve you your food well worth it! read more

This is your typical breakfast/ lunch / dinner spot. They have a huge menu and great food backing it. The employees are super nice, quick and assertive to do a good job. Seating is the only issue, but we've been lucky to have someone get up as soon as we started looking for a seat. Try their Number #28. So yummy! read more

Good ol'e comfort food! Perfect diner experience with fresh ingredients. Self service almost so nothing special about that but friendly staff none the less. Diner atmosphere and good diner coffee! Oh and don't forget to order hash browns! Some of the best l've tried. read more

I've only been 2x. But Ive been 2x in 1 week Imo, the food in this town has no Flavor or Soul. Im a vegetarian. Im from NY. I love a good diner. This is it‼ Fast paced, good solid food. Nothing fancy. Just feed me! I was very surprised. Ive only had the #18 Vegetarian omelette minus the mushrooms, add Feta. Its delicious yall! My only complaint is literally in the 8 days between my 2 visits, they have increased their prices. Today my bill was the same. $30 for 2 meals. But on our first visit, we had drinks‍ This visit, we did not. The bill was only $0.29 less.... The math aint Mathin'. But when I checked both my receipts I noticed a substantial increase in the menu prices. This Economy Suckssss... but this Food, Does Not read more

I have been coming to Goody's for many years, for breakfast and lunch, and it still tastes just as good as it always has. You order at the counter and they either bring the food to you or you do to go. It's especially busy during breakfast hours, but lunch is just as good. I have tried many different breakfast options, but consistently go back to their BLT with avocado. The pricing is extremely fair and it's great to get a good deal on quality food. There is a large free parking lot attached to the mall it's located in so parking is really quick and easy. Goody's is known for their giant menu, so there are endless options to choose from. They serve breakfast all day as well which is a seriously great option. Everyone at the counter was very polite during my most recent visit the day after Christmas. Everything came out pretty quickly, even though there was a lot of others waiting for their food as well. As mentioned this time I chose the BLT with avocado and a side of chili cheese fries. The BLT is really good, very fairly priced, and full of crispy bacon. The chili cheese fries are enormous and delicious and will not leave you hungry. I plan to be back to try many more items, It's just great to have a solid to go option in the area. read more

The first evening we ate here it was the prime rib dinner w/baked potato and veg medley. It was so delicious that we went again the next day. BUT, this time the prime rib was completely different. It was low quality, dried out. Not at all like the night before. So, you never know which way you're gonna get it so we won't be back. What a waste of money that 2nd meal was. Sad.​ read more

If you are in the mood for eggs, hash browns, melt sammy, etc., this is the spot! Kitchen and team are really in sync and everything is hot and golden brown. Thank you Goodys for doing what you do! It doesn't get any better than this veggie omelette. French toast is solid and comes with cinnamon sugar on top. read more

Goody's Cafe - Veggie Omlette - American Near Me - Palm Desert, California

We moved to Sun City Palm Desert 4 months ago so my husband could receive after-stroke treatment at Eisenhower and we are getting to know the local Palm Desert area. We loved checking out off-Strip food places which were great and spread all over town. In getting to know Palm Desert we are lucky to have met some people who know good spots to go for any generation. Now that our medical appointments have calmed down a bit and we can check the small unassuming yet satisfying establishments, I had a plan to get a lunch delivered for my friend who was recently out of the hospital. She has lived here a while and suggested Goody's. We drive past this location on Washington just about every day, so I have been wondering and waiting to try it. A call to the restaurant confirmed some preferences she has would be possible as substitutions for her diet. I drove over (we live less than two miles out) and because it was Super Bowl Sunday it was peaceful with several people ordering food when I was. Decor is really cute and clean. Lydia at the front was really super helpful. We ordered breakfast for lunch which is always fun. I had the spinach and artichoke omelet with a side order of zucchinis. My friend ordered the vegetable and cheese omelet with substitution of tomato slices for hash browns. Those tomato slices were so fresh and both omelets are each size of two whole meals. I was so happy to see the big chunks of artichoke and spinach. There is just enough tasty cheese and it was cooked perfectly. Seasoning is good. My friend ordered her toast without butter and the instructions were followed well. Everything comes labeled so you can see which toast is yours. I had a strawberry shake as well. The entire bill was $40 and change. In my experience the portion, when it is generous, gets split in half for the next day. This was that kind of portion. I am a big girl and would have chowed down on the whole thing except for the fact that half way through I was totally satisfied. Now I know why Goody's is so popular around here because the menu is extensive, food is cooked fresh for you and it is delicious for a reasonable price. Will I be able to drive on by when we are on Washington in the future? Probably not. Always in search of a great place with super people, we will be back to try it all. read more

I went to goody's yesterday on cook street and found out they wanted to charge me $8.00 for two eggs. I asked why the high prices but got the standard answer, however I was told if I went to their restaurant in Thousand palms it would be cheaper. She also said they are going to raises prices again. FYI read more

Our next stop on our road trip was this cafe a short distance from I-10. All you can see from the freeway are fast food restaurants, so it helps to know where to look for more. It helps to be on Yelp. Goody's is a small chain of four cafes in the desert. This one has too small of a parking lot for the amount of seating that it has. When temps get over 100 - a typical occurrence in the Palm Springs area - this could get awfully inconvenient. Outdoor, shaded seating is available, but do you really want to do that when it's not winter? Goody's Cafe looks '80s, plays pop music from the '50s ("I had lunch with Frank Sinatra" - the Hunny), and has prices from the '00s. Good place to go during your lunch break, after church, or driving to/from Phoenix. If you went to Coachella, you may prefer something grungier. Food? A LOT of it. You get more for your money at Goody's. My $8 ham sub was 12 inches before they cut it in half. And these are 1/4-inch ham slices, not paper-thin deli slices. Like Jimmy John's, they did not put a lot of stuff on the sammy, it tastes better simple. The portion of fries is yuge, so I had to put most into a to-go container. So did the girl, with her bacon sourdough burger. All of us were talking about how good our food was. It's so easy to fall back on big-chain fast food. But Goody's Cafe is a place worth tracking down. read more

Ordered medium well steak but was served well done. Told counter person about it and she got me another(she said). It was the same meat but added more juice this time. Told waitress it's the same one only tougher. She insisted it's a different meat with an attitude "that's medium well". I will never come back nor recommend this place to anyone. Went to a different restaurant for instead for lunch. read more

Goody's is always such a treat when we are in Palm Desert! Delicious food, friendly staff, quick service! It's always a must stop for us!

I visited Goody's in Palm Desert and the food and service were great! Although the costs have gone up, the food is worth it. The staff was so friendly and they made me feel like a VIP! I use a cane so when I left one of the staff asked to open the door for me and was so nice. The dining room and the Women's restroom were very clean. I give it five stars! I would highly recommend any traveler to eat there. It is right off the freeway which is great! read more

This place is a Tog-o for me and my family since we love their burgers. Their food is always good and ready in a reasonable time despite there being sooo many people. It's pretty much a great breakfast spot for anyone stopping by or having a brunch with friends. Their inside is cozy but for sure during the winter it got a nice outside seating area .Oh, and the staff has always been nice and welcoming!!! read more

They are our go-to food option! They are always so quick and the food is solid. We like the Ortega Burrito, Hamburger special, Nachos and loaded fries, gyro and traditional breakfast. They have it all! read more

Goody's has been around forever and always a great choice for a good fast meal. The food comes out quickly and always with a smile. It's a diner style restaurant with large portions. The French toast is my favorite, never short on butter. I just wish they would stop playing music from the 50's! I think they are catering to the older crowd that comes in from Sun City near by, but oh my, at least do 70's please. read more

This place just opened up a few weeks ago, near our house and we thought of trying it out... to our pleasant surprise! Everything we ordered that day was sooo deliciously good!
