    For the price it's good fast food. A good mom and pop joint. Line wasn't too long and we came around 5:00 pm. Area is a busier area so sometimes hard to find parking. Two hotdogs with fries, ketchup, and hot peppers 10/10, can't go wrong. Grilled chicken breast sandwich with fries also 8/10, big chicken to handle at once but slowly but surely really good. I will be coming back!

    Ordered through Grubhub...and got just too plain hotdogs. I called to find out what happened and I was told that I had to specify "everything on it" even though there was no option to state this. In the menu, Grubhub, it states what's on it. It should have come with onions mustard etc $10 wasted!

    The BEST Chicken Kabob plates EVER! My absolute favorite!!! You won't regret it! And the service is super great and fast!

    Rosa J.

    As many of you already knew, Rosa J. likes to hang out with fellow senior citizens and police officers. Well, they seem to know good neighborhood places to grab a bite. Thus this evening, Rosa J. and hubby explored a little bit of Dunning/River Grove neighborhoods and found "Goody's" for some gyros! There weren't many pictures or recent reviews on this place, so I left this "bookmarked" on my Yelp for quite some time. However, after walking through the double-doors, what I saw was a spacious dining room, featuring Chicago sports photographs, articles, and memorabilia on the walls. Ok, perhaps I might have more confidence on the food that would soon be served. I was attempting to locate the value meal menu I saw on their Yelp business page. The young lady cashier pointed me to the right, for my peripheral vision was temporarily blindsided somehow. Hubby and I both went with the Gyros (Gyro plate and Gyro sandwich combo). All value meal combos come with fries and a fountain pop. Hubby's gyro plate also came with a side of Greek salad. Although Yelp put Goody's under the "fast food" category, we waited for approximately ten (10) plus minutes for our food. Was it considering "fast," like a Ji*my J*hn's commercial? Since we weren't under the time constraint, I was checking out the seemingly yummy food that senior citizen social club on my left was consuming and the River Grove police officer's giant muscles, with some fierce tattoos, on my right. Food has finally arrived. First of all, the presentation was pretty fantastic. I'm no expert of gyros, but I enjoyed my gyro sandwich. I thought the yogurt sauce with dills was tasty. In addition, the side fries were crispy. For $20 and some change, we did have an above-average Greek-American style "medium-speed" feast. I will definitely be back if I ever wonder around the Thatcher Woods plaza area (the strip mall next door). Heading to Goody's is accessible via CTA #77 (Belmont) bus. The nearest stop is Belmont/Plainfield. I have to apologize that I failed to capture their business hours for you Yelpers' convenience.

    The double dog that I actually DID NOT ORDER.
    Amanda B.

    I love Goody's, I'm there all the time with my parents or myself. I called in for pick up and ordered what I ALWAYS get, two hot dogs and fries. When I opened the bag it was a hot dog bun with two hotdogs, I didn't order a double dog. So I went inside with my mom and she tossed the bag on the counter, remember that, and one of the older men that's always there as a cashier proceeded to accuse me of ordering the wrong thing. After repeatedly telling him that I get the same thing and didn't order the wrong thing, he tried pointing at my face and repeating I did and it wasn't their mistake. So of course my mom got pissed, and starting getting louder telling him not to talk to me like that and he continues trying to accuse her again of throwing the bag at him. In the end, I honestly didn't even want the food anymore so I said I wanted a refund, so this man said "good, I don't want this shit anymore" so a different man that's usually there when we are stepped in and told the other man to go away and tried offering a remake, but I just wanted a refund and instead got gene and judes. So end of story is I'm never going to Goody's ever again. Thanks a lot for pissing off all of us three of your frequent customers. We couldn't believe the treatment we got and won't be going to Goody's AT ALL anymore. Deeply dissatisfied and disappointed.

    Been wanting to come here since moving to Chicago, but haven't had the opportunity until recently…read morewhen friends were in town. We were already in the area to check out Frank Lloyd Wright's studio and then came here for lunch afterwards. We were lucky that it was a Monday at lunch time and not a more traditional peak time to be there because we got a parking space fairly quickly and even though we saw the line out the door, it moved very fast. It's very much a cash-only and no-frills type of place. Don't come here expecting them to be super friendly to you. You go up there knowing what you want to order and they are quick and on it. When you're paying, they're already getting the other customer's (behind you) order. We went for an Italian beef sandwich to split as well as a side of fries and an Italian ice. Everything was excellent. Definitely the best Italian beef I've ever had and one of my friends said it was one of the best foods he had on his week trip here. Will definitely need to return!

Choosing an "off" night (example: a weeknight) or during a less-than-ideal time (example: during a snowstorm) will give you the quickest experience for Johnnie's as the line can get LONG and parking is terrible (tiny lot). Note: this was my second visit as my first attempt, on Father's Day 2025, was a magnificent bust. We had no line and plenty of seating this time! They have a big menu, but save the cute stuff for a follow-up visit and get a beef (& hot dog is really hungry). Do yourself a favor and get an Italian Ice too, time of year is irrelevant. You can thank me after your tastebuds recover from being overwhelmed. Is the food THAT much better than other spots, you ask? Not handedly, no. But the whole experience, especially if you wait in line (in the sun as there is zero shade), is what makes this place great. It really is a delightful Chicago experience. Put Johnnie's at the top of your list this summer, plan accordingly, and ENJOY!

They apologized and moved so I could order. The place was busy with orders. I placed my order for an Italian Beef with hot peppers, lightly dipped. Fries and a medium soda. Keep in mind they do not have any combo meals so everything is à la carte which adds up quickly. My meal was over $18 bucks. I received my food and sat near the door with a nice breeze. The tables had a roll of paper towels which you will need. The beef is top notch. Seasoned well and tender with the hot peppers doing its best to support the beef. The pepper has a little heat and were crunchy. The fries were crispy and super fresh. I even burned my mouth on them. Me being greedy. I know everything has went up in price but at $18, it's a little steep, but worth the price if you're in the area.

Their restaurant is lacking severely in taste and hospitality. I patiently waited to request for sauces that she forgot to give and she made it seem like I was intruding and interrupting her. She looked over at our table with a rude look and was displeased to give us the ranch that is included in the combo meal. The cole slaw is shredded to pieces and has no bite, the catfish was undercooked and too soft, the shrimps still had shells under the batter, and the chicken wings were small. Everything was extremely oily. They are charging extra for hot sauce, but it literally is just Louisiana hot sauce in a tiny dipping cup. Our total for two meals was $33. You're better off going to another chicken and seafood restaurant for a better deal and price. I was going to do a food vlog at this place, but they are not worth the time wasted to edit and spotlight.
