    Philly Steak Sandwich
    Victoria P.

    My go to every year for Coachella! Food is good wide variety of items moderately priced the ranch is house made and the phillys are sooo good had one 3 days in a row

    Taco Salad

    Quick stop for a quick bite. Location flowed with our travel plans. Needed a place right next to a gas station, and right off the freeway. It's a win win! Although Goody's offers Drive Thru service, we opted to dine inside (outdoor patio available as well). We wanted to stretch our legs and enjoy some good AC- since we took the twisty roads from San Diego and wanted the preferred scenic route. The menu has plenty to offer, and I do love a good Taco Salad. The ground beef is seasoned well, THANK YOU for not having bland meat! The taco salad is huge. Refried beans underneath the meat- yum! And the fried flour tortilla bowl was lightly fried and crispy. Good enough to pinch off sections from the taco salad bowl and scoop those yum yums up. It's a hit and miss when salsa is plentiful. I requested an additional side of salsa (60 cents). And the original serving was more than enough

    Goody's is a small independent Burger chain out here in the Coachella valley. I've been going to them for years and one of the issues I've always had is I think that they are overpriced. I just went to the one in Palm desert and it is a fairly new site. I think, the building looks pretty new. It's very clean and it's a very nice location. All of the workers there are very nice and helpful so I have no issues with them. I just think that their pricing is a little bit out of line. I got the chicken melt which has avocado and bacon and it was delicious. Instead of fries I went with onion rings and a Coke for my upgrade to a combo. All of this was around $24 in change. That is some pricey lunch time stuff. So while this place has a breakfast, lunch and dinner burgers, sandwiches, Mexican food etc. It is too pricey in my opinion

    Breakfast burrito with just eggs and cheese $13.00 was way too small for that price, 3 small bites and gone! Complete rip off!!!

    This is a really nice location. We have been to most of the Goody's in the desert and this is by far the nicest one. Super fast friendly service and the food is on point. This is going to be one of our go to stops from now on when we go to hockey across the freeway. Can't believe we have never stopped here before. Keep up the solid atmosphere!

    I recently visited Goody's Cafe in Palm. Desert, and while the food was decent, I was shocked by their outrageous pricing. They add a $1.50 surcharge per egg dish, which is completely unreasonable given current egg prices. For reference, a two-dozen pack of eggs at the local Sam's Club costs less than $9--that's about $0.37 per egg. Charging an extra $1.50 per egg dish is nothing short of price gouging. I understand restaurants need to cover overhead, but this level of markup is excessive and unfair to customers. If you're going to charge premium prices, at least be transparent about it. Because of this unethical pricing, I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau for price gouging. Consumers deserve fair pricing, and businesses that take advantage of the public should be held accountable. Until they correct their pricing practices, I won't be returning, and I encourage others to avoid this place as well. Good food, but unethical and exploitative pricing.

    Wow! After several "fancy" dinners, we were just looking for a burger spot. Found it!…read moreWe were seated immediately upon arriving and our waiter, Joshua, who was extremely attentive all night, came over to greet us and get our drink order. We started out with the Drunken Tots. Wonderful! For dinner, I ordered the Turkey burger, and my husband and grandson each ordered the Bistro Burger. The burgers were loaded with all kinds of yummy toppings and we all enjoyed each bite. Meals are served with fries and a pickle. Perfect! Although we were stuffed, we split the Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding for dessert. It was topped with a salted caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. So good! If you're just looking for a casual burger/sandwich spot, look no further!

The food was good overall and definitely satisfied the burger craving. The experience, however, was a little mixed. The service felt a bit awkward at times, and a few interactions with the staff just rubbed me the wrong way. Nothing major, just an odd vibe. The location itself could have been a little cleaner and more polished. I also noticed the Guy Fieri feature on the wall--which is cool--but at the end of the day, the food and experience still have to speak for themselves. Overall, the burger was good, but the service and atmosphere left some room for improvement.

Massive parking lot with tons of parking, we checked out menus at 5 or 6 near by spots and saw a worker from near eating from here. Simple straight forward mom and pop type shop. Typically, a place a would not get pastrami, asked the waiter and he said it was his favorite. Ok, now Im gonna have to try it. Mixed it up and did it Rueben style with house chips. Seriously one of the BEST pastrami sandwiches I have had. My wife had some and thought the same and my mom tried it and she was amazed. This lil spot knows how to make pastrami. and the House chips were pretty over the top too. 122 mile drive for us but might have to venture back for a great pastrami sandwich. Moms salad was also good, massive and we share it and still didnt finish it. Young lady came in and remembered this crew from way back too and that was cool to see. Lots of TVs, good amount of seating and great service. If your out for an event or lucky enough to be a local this spot is worth checking out and if you love pastrami its a MUST.
