    Turkey bacon in spinach wrap! Grade A ... layered and generous ingredients! 60c for ranch, tasted quality. Hubbs got Goody's breakfast burrito.Grade B-...He said he liked it and was good! Salsa had a little kick. Unsweetened tasted like it was freshly brewed. Service good..food came out quickly! Good amount of seating. Right by Denny's, and rather go here vs anywhere too crowded. Bathrooms decent.

    I was very disappointed with my visit to this "Goody's". I frequently go to a different Goody's which is in Palm Desert. I always have great food, service and clean everywhere. THIS location is exactly opposite. Maricela has to be one of the most UNPROFESSIONAL and CONDESCENDING server/ cashier I've experienced in along time. First I ordered a simple Number 28. She punched in the wrong food and when I asked for no potatoes, she said "Oh you wanted something different, I thought it was eggs and bacon". Then when I got my order she put in the wrong eggs or the chef made the wrong food. I asked for eggs over medium. So when she brought food it was scrambled eggs. I asked if I could get the over medium that I ordered. And while standing in front of me on her headset said "Did he order scrambled eggs? Then she just walked away. When she brought my eggs she said ( while holding my eggs back) " I need those scramble back first!" In a very attitude of a way. Not to mention the bathrooms were dirty and they talk real loud, and not professionally between them and the cooks. I am VERY disappointed with this location.

    Would go to the Dennys right across but finally decided to give this place a shot since family members have recommended it to me. The place inside was clean and a few people, and was able to order right away once we figured out what to get. It was still breakfast time so that's what we got. They do have a good sized menu of different things but wanted to try their French toast. It was about 10-15 min and they bring the food out to your table. Not sure if they do that if it's really busy but it was nice that they did. Especially since at the time of this review I recently had surgery so been on crutches. I finished all my food, except the bacon, which I usually don't finish but it came with the combo I got. The bacon tasted good but like usual salty. But we both enjoyed our food and were satisfied. Definitely would come back to try other things on their menu. Hopefully they are good as what we got for breakfast.

    This place was a great spot to eat breakfast! Everything was so so good. The girl at the register was so nice and friendly! We even had a little conversation about my purse she was the sweetest! Wish I got her name so I could shout her out. The inside was also very clean and had AC.

    I'm here a few times a week for years. Staff is always cordial and helpful. Food is good and consistent. Best goodies in the Coachella valley. I think I've tried all of them.

    We pretty much have tried every location that we pass. It's affordable truck stop style; not up scale expensive resturaunt. *Palm Desert if our favorite. Five stars *Palm Springs IF you eat in, it's great. Drive through I'd pass. *Thousand Palms is okay (photo is from here).

    Philly cheesesteak no green peppers. It was good. But the fries were too salty.

    Such an awful experience. I ordered a tuna melt with avocado and added tomato and lettuce. They did not want to take my coupon. Then I look in my sandwich, there was a piece of avocado no bigger than my thumb! and barely spread on . I went back to tell them. They said that's the amount they put. For $3.60? That's robbery! The girl gave me attitude and try to argue. She even took the sandwich back into the kitchen after I already opened it and handled my food and showed the cooks. She gave me a rude reply on what did I want them to do about it. Either a refund or they could give me more. Umm you mean give me the amount that's worth almost $4? I should've just gone to the store for it. Honestly I should have asked for the refund because the small sauce cup of what they gave me of avocado was worse! It was going bad and already turning black. I didn't want to argue and just left. The lettuce was so old and inedible and there were hard pieces of bread (?) in my sandwich . Also hard breading on the zucchini that could've chipped a tooth! Definitely not coming back! Almost $30 ( almost $14 for the melt alone, zucchini almost $9, two ranches .60 cents each and $3.59 avocado), definitely not worth it!

    Interior is nice and clean!

    Fast food choices nearby, but we wanted breakfast and saw this next to Denny's which had more reviews and less stars. Come here and you won't be sorry. Could see our vehicle through the shades and have a nice clean atmosphere, friendly employees and most importantly the food looked and tasted good for a reasonable price. The toast was the only thing I didn't really like. The "butter" texture and taste was more like a very yellow oil. But the three eggs and steak and hash browns were a nice size to split. (We almost always split our food so it's great when the portions are good.) Hubby said the Mexican food that was being served looked good too, so we will try lunch another time.

    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.

The servers might not know your name, but I've never had a server that wasn't helpful and nice. Parking can be busy, but never difficult. So now the food. I've eaten here a lot over the years and I've never had a bad meal. The garlic fries are awesome and everything from burgers to salads and tacos, delicious. My sole complaint, some burgers are so tall it's impossible to eat them like a regular burger. So, this spot is a solid 5/5. Not crazy expensive, nice staff, good food, easy in and out. Give it a try.

    *Tony the Burger Tiger*…read more In case you didn't know, Tony used to be the chef at Grill-A-Burger in Palm Desert...then 14 years ago, Antonio followed his dream & ambition to open up his own burger joint. Tho I haven't dined here before, I've made my presence known, and previously checked out the place to inquire ~~ more than once. I was blown away when Edgar remembered me...and thanked me & wifey for finally coming in for a little late-night dinner/snack. Wifey was craving onion rings...so whatever she wants she gets ~~ with limits that is ;) Since her favorite onion rings are 130 miles away in LA (Culver City) at Johnnie's Pastrami, we've been searching for a good back-up. Heard & read a lot of great things about their beer battered onion rings. We were not disappointed. Make sure to splurge and spend the extra 2 bucks for a full order instead of a half. Wifey enjoyed her mini burger...and it was the perfect size. The bun was fresh and held up well, which is always important. I went off the board and wanted just a simple plain burger patty, because I wasn't too hungry. But that's one of the best ways to judge quality. No bells no whistles. Just the beef...and a knife & fork. Like a good steak. It was tender & juicy and I was a very happy camper. h2O was all we needed on this night...and refills were fulfilled voluntarily. As expected, Edgar provided excellent customer service...and we all shared some playful banter throughout our dining experience. Tony's Burgers is a very chill & cozy place. It's darkly lit. There's lots of booths to sit comfortably...and lots of flatscreen tvs on the walls showing sports. There's a large bar area too with stools. I can see why this place is so popular with the locals. Looking forward to our next visit. {{{Big~High~5}}}

    Extremely Disappointing Experience…read more I've been a rewards member at this restaurant for close to 10 years and have celebrated many special occasions here, so I'm especially disappointed by how terrible this experience was. Unfortunately, after this visit, I will not be returning. Our server was consistently rude, snappy, and dismissive. When my wife simply asked what could be ordered with one of the new meals being offered, the server actually yelled at her rather than answering the question politely. We ordered drinks and beer cheese that were never brought to our table, yet we were still charged for them. We were seated in a large dining area with plenty of space, yet our table was placed between two other tables and we were repeatedly overlooked. The server seemed to have no problem attending to everyone else around us while continually neglecting our table. It honestly left us wondering whether we were being treated differently because we are a gay couple, because we are white, or simply because she decided we were an inconvenience. Throughout the meal, we felt rushed out at every opportunity. The overall attitude made it very clear that our presence was unwanted. To make matters worse, the food arrived cold, soggy, and honestly disgusting. What makes this even more upsetting is the history I have with this restaurant. After nearly 10 years as a rewards member and having celebrated numerous occasions here, I expected much better treatment and service. Instead, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. I sincerely hope management takes this review seriously and looks into what happened. Customers should never be made to feel unwelcome, ignored, or like a burden--especially loyal customers. After nearly 10 years of loyalty, I can say with certainty that I will never be back.
