I walked into the restaurant and it's empty with no customers I order a chili cheese fry and they make it in 10 seconds with some cold cheese I kindly ask the cook to heat it up a bit at least and then my order was done in less than a minute made me think that the food was not fresh. There was also a rude cashier that didn't answer questions I have asked. The diner was alright but it's emptiness made it seem like a ghost town I like goodys in Palm Desert better than the 42 one read more

The pastrami sandwich used to be my favorite here. I've tried it several times lately hoping it was just a bad day. But it is bad dry, small chopped pieces of pastrami, bread was dry for $15.21!!!! Service is always great and restaurant clean. However, I have come to a decision that I will only dine where the food is appealing and I can enjoy my meal. read more

Pretty cool spot very clean and nice place to grab a bite. Super fast service everything is made fresh and on the spot you're able to see them cooking your food which I loved. Taste wasn't bad at all was just a little pricey for add ons. read more

I love their Greek salad but today I ordered a salad among other things (I was coming back from the hospital with a patient who just had surgery). When we were ready to eat the salad we noticed that there weren't any dressing (the dressing makes this salad). So I called them and they argued that the dressing was in. I was disappointed because on top that they made mistake putting together the order they are calling me a liar. And the lady I spoke to she told me she couldn't reimburse me because it was only the dressing that they missed. The salad was not edible without the dressing. read more

Goody's is not good. $17 for a waffle. You get a half cooked waffle, one egg that was over cooked, and sausages that were made 2 days ago, Oh toast is extra you have to ask for toast and jelly. While eating your food you do get good entertainment by watching the cashier be on her phone and by watching the waitress and. Oils looking at you like what is this BLACK-guys doing in here as if we can't eat there. I felt so uncomfortable I didn't even finish my food. NOT GOOD. If the owner reads this look at the video to see if I'm telling the truth. read more

I feel like the food is equivalent to the price you pay, it's one of the cheapest large breakfast you can get at a restaurant these days, but quality ingredients is lacking. I'd say you get what you pay for. Worst things we ordered were the hash browns and scrambled eggs. Has browns are soggy not fried enough, eggs are so bland and chewy(over cooked) everyone we order them. read more

A long ride back to the valley needs a good dinner. With many surrounding places being closed on a Sunday evening, we searched for an alternative to the normal fast food options. Goody's emerged around the corner, hidden on the side of a retail complex. The front of the restaurant was promising. Pretty much all types of food, tacos to spaghetti, Greek to burgers. J and I split a cheeseburger and fries. But first, back to the beginning. You order at the counter. There were people juat standing around, so it was a little confusing where to actually order. The gal who took my order was friendly. It was around $12 for a cheeseburger, fries and two large fountain drinks. The interior of the shop was a 'seat yourself', with tables and booths strewn about. There weren't trash cans, so I'm guessing you juat leave your stuff on the table. At least I hope so. (Or I'm sorry.) There were buspeople wandering around, and the tables appeared to be cleaned quickly, because I saw no dirty tables. There are picture menus lining the walls. I wasn't too thrilled about the flies, and what appeared to be a bug light? The cheeseburger was pretty good. The meat was really super thin. I had to beg for a knife, and saw no area for silverware. I guess you have to beg for that too? The fries were crispy and well-seasoned. J's diet coke was normal. My iced tea tasted like the smell of a bathroom air freshener. I would probably stop here next time if I had to find sustenance. But I will skip the iced tea, and likely take my grub to go. read more

Chicken salad add avocado and grilled chicken melt!!! $60 for two of each so it's pricey but food and service is great if you don't want to cook. Food is really good! There was a hair in my salad but I know that stuff happens. The food was really good taste wise!! read more

Horrible service. I got there later in the evening. Everyone had long faces because they wanted to leave. They were even sitting behind me waiting for me to leave. They dimmed the lights. Other people were still eating there. They were all so rude. If I owned that restaurant, I would fire them all. Owner. Check your cameras. What a waste of money. 50$ for two people at a fast food. Unreal read more

$7.99 for a chili cheese hot dog. $7.99. No fries. No drink. Just a hot dog. Outrageous. read more

I'm saddened, I used to love their Chicken Caesar Salad but the quality is not what it used to be. The chicken is thin and cooked different. The croutons used to be a flaky butter garlic and now they're a plain flavor and taste like store bought old ones. And on top of that, they gave ranch dressing and not Cesar dressing. Just the quality of food has gone down so much and still so expensive. Luckily there are so many new restaurants opening in North Indio. read more

Good food, especially breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Drive through so you don't have to get out of your car.

Really good, the food was great, the service was amazing. Nice workers, plus reasonable prices. Environment was good. Reasonable wait, and clean tables, clean seats, overall recommend. read more

Not sure why this place is rated so low. We came in from Arizona and this place looked great. The prices were very reasonable. The menu was vast. They did have done in which was awesome. Some tables still zoned off. I got the pastrami cheeseburger. Yum yum yum. With Nacho cheese fries. The burger was devoured and I'm glad I got a picture of it. Can't beat this for I think 9.00$ they have a drive through as well. The menu is vast and I would love to try a breakfast here. read more

Best diner in town. Gyro isn't chopped liver, either. Everything I've tried is delicious.

Worst customer service ever, went through drive through super rude .took forever and forgot some of our order spent over a hundred dollars. Not worth it never coming here again. read more

2 stars for the polite service. 0 for the food. What ever you do don't order carne nachos. What a pile of crap

Terrible food watered down syrup for the undercooked waffles. Undercooked eggs. Do yourself a favor and go to ihop

Great food and reasonable prices! Service is quick! The only small problem was finding a cashier that spoke English but that too was handled quickly! read more

Overpriced and food was bland. Ordered a few different breakfast items (French toast, pancakes and eggs) and they all needed some type of seasoning or condiment to taste good. A cup of coffee was $4 and so was a serving of milk. The menu is huge and I may have ordered the wrong items but spending almost $60 on breakfast and it being "meh" will not bring me back. read more

Why wouldn't you send salsa with a Mexican dish??UGH! So Disappointed with Machaca plate. Ruben Sandwich was ok. I Wont return anytime soon if at all. read more

Ummm...$6 for an order of fries? $35 for 2 sandwiches and 1 order of fries?? There's a reason they don't post prices in the drive-thru. We won't be back. read more

Goody's Cafe - May not be pretty but it was absolutely one of the best Philly cheese steaks I have ever had and the service was amazing - Cafes Near Me - Indio, California

I'm surprised there aren't more 5-star reviews for this place. I've been going there since they opened. I love the variety, the food is always hot & fresh, and you definitely get your moneys worth. I have enjoyed everything that I have ordered. The fried zucchini are huge and delicious!! One of my faves. Also, I love the omelettes, sandwiches & burgers, and salads. The service is usually good, I can't complain. It may take a little while in the drive-thru, but everything is made fresh so it's understandable. I definitely recommend. Thank you Goody's employees!! I appreciate you!! read more

Early this morning we went and thought that we would get a good breakfast burrito ( not even) totally upset . We requested two breakfast burritos and got big hardy Potatoes unbelievable $13.20 each upsetting. And you don't know till you bite into it. Last time We visit Goodys . read more

If you want large quantities of bland food for not much $, this is your place. We tried several items - none of them tasted good and we just threw them away. The food that we tried was frozen or prepackaged food that they heated up. read more

The cashier did not really understand my order and I could barely understand her. Ended up adding thing to my order I did not want. Someone had to come and explain to her and refund me. I could see other customers having to keep repeating to her there orders. I am Hispanic myself, so I'm just saying,put someone who can talk and understand what people are ordering. Food was great though. read more

Ordered steak fajitas and a majority of the meat was all fat, not only that but I found a hair in my food and when showed to the cashier I was given attitude. Will not be coming back. read more

I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs it was good. What really impressed me though was the young man taking orders. I had sat in the line of sight of the register and I could hear everything he said. One after another he pleasantly explained the content of the orders the size of proportions and anything else his customers had questions about. I'm a retired senior and most of the customers were too. I appreciate the kindness of this young man it made my day. read more

Disturbing fake version of a legends burgers or Andy's burgers. When ordering we specified no tomato. Due to severe allergy. They still put tomatoes on the burger and then also burnt the fried zuchini order. I called and spoke to someone there and they were really kind and apologized and said that I could come back any time for a replacement meal. No biggie I guess right? Wrong! I came back another time and was treated like dog sht!. They refused to do anything for me and the manager who wasn't even there told the girl at the order spot not to help me in any way. Then I get discriminated against and told that I've "done this before" when I last ordered food here like 9 months ago and didn't even order the same food?. So I was also mistaken for someone else they aparrently have a problem with. Horribly rude girl at the window with a major attitude. The food at best is a 3/10 anyway because you know going thru here ur getting greasy garbage burger joint trash. But to add the trash attitudes and horrible treatment of customers on top of that. Honestly how does this place not foreclose to the bank??? The owner must be hemorrhaging assets! STAY AWAY. they were so rude I wouldn't of even taken the food if they eventually chose to give it because I would be afraid for covid or bodily fluids to be added. read more

Honestly can say this staff is really good here. 10/10 food is great here!! The staff was super busy and doing the best to serve everyone. The very petite lady was super nice and was doing her best even when there was a nasty customer barking orders at her. You could tell he was privileged simply because he was yelling "hey is there anyone that can help me... is there anybody at the cash register" super rude.. The staff handled it really well. .. Thank you guys so so much & keep up the great service & food . read more

This place is one of the worst spots now, food quality down and prices up, we ended up leaving after we saw the cook scratch his head and use his bare hands to grab our salad and put it on our plate. The service is mediocre at best. Long time customer but the last experience made us 86 this place I will never return. read more

Been going to Goody's in Indio for almost 13 years. And over the last 2 years, the prices have sky rocketed. the food portions have drastically been reduced. And over the last 2 weeks, things have even gotten worse. I have talked to the staff, and although they are friendly and seem to listen, nothing improves. Sorry, but I will not longer visit Goody's in Indio again. It is a shame really, I consistently would visit often 3 times a week, used to love the breakfast burritos. read more

The food here has always been great. The location is always clean and the employees very friendly. If you want to come to a place where you want to get a meal worth what you pay, this is the place. The portions are huge, perfect to share. Don't be fooled by what you see on the plate, the portions are tightly packed, like the chili cheese fries and salads. If you can't decide between breakfast, lunch, or dinner--this is the place for you! If you just want something cool for hot days, I highly recommend their milkshakes. read more

The food is good diner food, and we eat here a lot. My main complaint is that our drive thru orders get screwed up about a third of the time. It's a huge hassle to drive back to get missing items from an order, so we usually just go wiNever any problems eating in though. Update: Came back. $50 order, and when I asked for one extra ranch I was told it would be an extra charge. I'm done with this place. read more

We stopped in for breakfast and had a great experience! For starters, this restaurant is SPOTLESS! It is super clean! The service was wonderful, really nice gal took our order and brought our food. Even the cook was friendly. Our food was made fresh to order and came to the table hot, everything was how we ordered it. We'll definitely be back! read more

I have to agree that Goody's is a hole in the wall. I happened to stumble across it when I was cruising through area looking for something to eat because I was starving. I went through the drive thru , and the menu had so much on it. It was tough to decide, but I went with the chicken, bacon, avocado melt with fries. It was delicious!!! Something I wouldn't ordinarily order in a drive thru, so I knew I was taking a risk, but well worth it. Fries were delicious too, seasoned well and crispy. It was a lot of food too. You can easily share a meal. Give it a try! Sad it's in a location that isn't very busy and you wouldn't even know it was there. read more

Our party ordered pancakes, waffles, egg sandwich with bacon n egg. Was delicious! Definitely going back!

I'm not sure what happened to this place. I used to love the chili size. They covered the bottom with refried beans, it was unique and delicious. Today I purchased a chili size that was the worse I've ever had. No refried beans. Couldn't taste much except onion, and the chili was pretty much lacking. It was also not hot enough to melt most of the cheese. Certainly not worth 7.61. Guess I'll have to go to a different Goody's location read more
