Went for restaurant week (2024) Great ambiance. Service was very slow. They had consistent flow but weren't busy so that was disappointing. Drinks-I had the expresso martini with tequila finish. Both were Delicious. Food-Ordered the bbq bacon burger and fries which were good. Overall it's a solid Diner. They play good music & have good drinks and food.

Came in on a Monday to try it out. It was slow at the restaurant, so we got to see all of the diner, the restroom was warm and clean... Ordered a quesadilla, tomato bisque and grilled cheese and a buffalo wrap (husband/daughter also) and it was all absolutely delicious... I told the guy in charge that I didn't know it was so fancy and he said, "it's not fancy food, it's prepared well"... Perfect! way to explain this food. If you are in Columbus, it is a must stop... It's got cool ambience and very nice personable help.

All I wanted was a good burger, and this place did not disappoint. Wandered in during restaurant week and jumped on the 3 course menu, choosing mussels, the Goody Boy Burger and peach cobbler. Washed it all down with 3 Floyds Zombiedust. All the food was excellent! Mussels came with plenty of broth and Texas toast to mop it up with. The burger was exactly what I wanted. Cheesy, greasy, delicious. Came with a side of fries I wasn't expecting. And good thing, as they weren't that good. Thinly sliced, which is my go to, but undercooked. The peach cobbler came with a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream that made me want to make love to the dish. Daughter ordered the fried pickles (delicious) and blackened chicken linguine. The dish was excellent, with just the right amount of heat that made me happy, but she thought was over the top. The Biegnets were good, but more like big hushpuppies with a couple of dipping sauces. Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance was classic 50s, really neat. Only negative, outside of the fries, were the flies. We had a couple join us for dinner that really weren't welcomed. Regardless, great place with a full bar, including Blantons!

The Shrimp and grits were okay and the chicken and waffles were good!!! The waitress was very hospitable. I'll visit again soon!!!

Goody Boy's has great food and drinks. The diner vibe is on point. They also have a really nice outdoor space to enjoy the nice weather.

So I never came before the recent renovation but I loooove what it is now! Total swim up bar meets in-n-out diner vibes. Interior is fun and beautiful and mid century mod. Ordered the spicy margarita less sweet and loved it. The bartender put less agave in there for me and it was perfect. We tried the goody boy burger, chicken sandwich and fries. Everything was delicious. The goody boy burger has a little bit of a sweetness to it almost in the sauce. The chicken sandwich looks like it might be a little dry on the outside but it is fried so perfectly and so tender on the inside. Side of waffle fries were enough to share. They were a bit crunchy / over fried for my liking but my husband loved them. Just preference I guess. Cute patio. You order everything at the bar and can eat it wherever. Very relaxed summer spot... lots of college students! Perfect if you want to get drunk and then have the option to eat some burgers / sandwiches right there.

Goody Boy Vibes~ and it is better than ever! I love the newly renovated space! The burgers were very flavorful~ The cocktails were so fun and tasty~ and don't forget about those huge fresh crispy waffle fries! To keep you coming back, the chef likes to play around with his big collection of seasoning to create their weekly specials!

Great place for brunch in the short north! Their menu has everything you could want for brunch and the vibes are so fun. We went when it was warmer out and sat outside. The inside has insanely cute retro vibes. And the atmosphere is so casual. Our waitress was extremely friendly and personable. I would love to go back there on a weekend night to drink and hang out with friends. It seems like it would be so fun. The food was extremely good, it came out fast and hot. It wasn't super busy for a weekend brunch and I was actually surprised. For the vibes and the food it should have been popping! 10/10 recommend
