It's national burger day but I didn't want just any burger I wanted a goody burger & goody it indeed was. I ordered a double steakburger & I was actually surprised that it was basically a smashburger. It was so good or I was so hungry that I ordered another before I even finished my first. The staff teased me for being a big back but & I eventually found out they have a quadruple burger so next time I'll just order that instead. Can't forget to mention their shakes, I'm not really one to have a sweet tooth but these shakes were the bomb. read more

Bad food and rude service. Don't waste your time here. They will make you what THEY want to serve you not what YOU ordered.

The BEST burgers, incredible fried tenderloin sandwiches, and a menu packed with more sides than you can possibly choose from. The peanut butter shake is pure nostalgia, creamy, sweet perfection that alone is worth the visit. From the worn booths to the wax-paper baskets, it's comfort food that tastes like childhood and feels like home. read more

Don't ever go here!! They used to be good, but now they don't care what they put out. If you order chili cheese fries shouldn't it have some chili? Don't go thru the drive thru because once you take it's your problem. Never go here!!! $10 for nothing. read more

This place does have good hamburgers and tenderloin sandwiches. I have never had much of anything else so I can't speak to the other food they serve. Their shakes are also good. The problem I have had with this place is that they only hire high school kids to do the work. Some of them are really good but too many others are not socially adept at all. I understand that they are young and don't have much experience in a work environment. But so many lack even basic social skills. They are blatantly rude and disrespectful which is something I really have a hard time dealing with. I understand that the owner doesn't want to pay people much to work there and so he just sticks with these kids. But with food being as expensive as it is and so many other places to get food, I for one will NOT spend my money at a place where I'm treated with disrespect. Frankly I don't go here very often because of this. Again, good burgers and tenderloins but not the best service. Probably a rating between 3 and 4 stars actually. read more

Outstanding Rueben sandwich!! Will definitely go back! Very clean and staff was great!

The steak burger I got today was absolutely horrible. Super small dry nothing really on it and for $6 you should be able to get something decent read more

Excelente service and the food was delicious! Definitely skipping the big chain restaurants and heading to Goody's when driving through Sedalia. read more

Staff greeted us as we came in and the server was friendly when taking our order. Hubby had the double steakburger and I tried the Reuben because it was listed as a favorite on the menu. We also upgraded to the tater tots with our combo. The Reuben was solid - lots of sauerkraut and meat. My only complaint was the bread was pretty soggy, which happens with some Rueben sandwiches, but not all of them. Hubby thought the steakburger and tots were very good. read more

I got the Guber burger combo. I loved it! The peanut butter was great. If I'm ever in Sedalia again, I'm stopping here for a Guber burger for sure. read more

We stopped by at 8:45 after the state fair and were told they were closed, when they don't close until 9. I pointed out that they don't close until 9 and I was told again they were closed and their grill was down. I asked for the managers information and was told that they couldn't give me that information. read more

I LOVE a good burger and consider myself a good judge. This joint has 4.5 stars, so we thought we'd stop for lunch. One server at 2 pm, about 6 or 7 tables full. 3 or 4 younger people in the back, no came to help her except to bus the tables. We had great hope for a wonderful lunch, but it was just okay. I had a double cheeseburger w/fries. Look at the meat, it tasted good, but its appearance was odd. Very thin patties. Fries were a mix of undercooked and overcooked. The beef hot dog, topped w/chili, cheese & onions. The bread was cold, the chili was okay, and the hot dog was over microwaved on one end. It was more like beef jerky than a beef hotdog. The onion rings were pretty cooked but were at least hot. My wife's ice tea was a big glass of tasteless brown water. The restaurant is brightly decorated with all kinds of cool rock & roll memorabilia. Caution - There are only 2 restrooms, one for the ladies and one for the men. They both open directly into the dining room and into the tables....yikes! The two stars were for the young server who never stopped hustling the entire time we were there. read more

Best burgers in town! The owner and everyone working there is always pleasant and their food is just awesome. Definitely recommend!

Friendly service. Burger was fine. Fries were fine. Lots of Marilyn Monroe pictures on the wall. read more

The food was very good, the mushrooms were the highlight. The tenderloin was not very big, but well cooked and flavorful. The steak burger was another good choice. They only reason for only 4 stars is if you needed anything that the waitress did not bring out in her one trip tou had to go get it yourself. It is worth stopping by if you are looking for a family owned local burger joint. read more

Always great hamburgers. The cheese curds are very good. The employees are eager to serve. It can be busy during lunch so be patient. The owner Terry is very friendly and cares about his customers. read more

Stopped by for lunch while passing through. I had the peanut butter hamburger and my husband had the double cheeseburger. Got a salted Carmel, pineapple and peanut butter shake to go. Delicious! read more

Below average prices. Below average food. Greeted when entering ordered the weighted forgot to add our shake but can't blame her she was solo waiting the entire restaurant 8ish tables. She was also telling the back staff that they didn't wipe the tables down when cleaning so it seems she had it together. read more

When I think steakburgers I think greasy burgers with a lot of flavor and that's exactly what we got. The burgers were so good and the crinkle fries were crispy and perfectly salted. They love their onions there so if you're not a huge fan, you might ask for light onions. Skip the drive thru at McDonalds and go to Goody's where you'll get real meat that tastes delish. read more

Horrible, old nasty frying oil. Food was soggy, just plain gross. Not recommended at all. Was offered new food, still nasty.

Great food, great prices. Clean place and love all the decor. Lots of choices, something for every tastebud. Lots of yummy shake and malt flavors. Also yummy corn dogs! read more

Had the steak burger with everything which evidently doesn't mean lettuce, pickles or tomato's. Honestly it was no steak burger. It was made of thin, dry, pre-made patties. I think McDonald's would of at least been fresher. I do believe the fries were good though. Sorry Goody's we won't be back read more

Excellent service, always professional in providing a superior product. Nowhere else I would rather get a burger from. Locally owned...Support our hometown businesses. (And those pepper jack bites are on fire!) read more

Steakburger is ample, next time I will get a single instead of a double. It was delicious and the pepper jack cheese bites were awesome too! Everybody enjoyed their meal, I highly recommend! read more

Delicious Meat. Meat is never frozen. Great onion Rings. Nice friendly staff. Place could use a Deep Cleaning, although the restrooms were tidy. read more

Must hit joint on the way to the Lake! Great service and accommodating for our large staggering party. Burgers were great! Side potions are massive along with appetizers and drinks. Definitely get what you pay for here. We will be back next year thanks! read more

Excellent food for a fair price. I'm the staff are very friendly. The place is clean and retro. The old school vibe is appreciated and I will take my kids here again and again. read more

We stopped here on our way to the Ozarks. Our clan of 15 ordered steak burgers, loaded fries, all-beef hot dogs, and chicken fingers. What an incredible diner experience we had. The atmosphere was light and welcoming. Everyone had wonderful things to say about the food and we all left extremely full and happy. The steak burgers were made with fresh hamburger and each of the veggies on top were freshly cut. The only thing better than the taste was how quickly our food came out. Very thankful for the hospitality! read more

This place was infested with flies inside the restaurant. One after the other flying around from the kitchen to the dining area. The cooks and food preps don't wear latex or non latex gloves. They go from raw patties to cut vegetables with they're bare hands and use a wet dingy stained towel to wipe food residue build up off they're hands. After seeing this I kindly cancelled my order and ask for refund. The server ask why and I explain to her what I just witness, she replied, we've been doing this for 26 years and the health inspector doesn't complain. read more

The best burger in Sedalia! It was much better then Steak and Shake up the street. A family owned business that is very interested about their food and service. The tater tots really looked good on my neighbor's plate. I had the french fries but they really not my favorite. They were a little mushy, so next time I'll ask for them crispy. The choc shake tasted like real ice cream with a touch of malt. Went well with my wife's burger. I had the chili dog and it was nice that the chili was homemade. The only thing I would change would be to have a little more chili seasoning in the chili and a grilled onion option on the chili dog. All and all it was a great place to stop on the way to the lake or back to KC. read more

Ok, so I was REALLY excited to try this place. I hear about it all the time from my family. I understand that this is a local place, and the people here LOVE them some goodies, but not a fan. I mean, it is cute inside. The service is good and the food is cheap. But the Goodie Burger that i heard about forever was really just ok at best. Try for yourself, don't take my word for it. read more

Best Goober burgers in town! Friendly servers also. My husband loves their milkshakes.

Amazing burgers and sides! This joint is a hidden gem! We stop every time we are headed home from Lake of the Ozarks back to KC. Food is fantastic, fast and friendly service too! read more

Service is always fast and the food is good! Love getting a quick lunch and a shake here!! read more

You pull off the highway, famished, after hours of travel with not even a gas station in sight. A single diner stands in front of you. In pastel bubble letters it announces "Goody's Steakburgers" A young boy appears to be the only person behind the counter. "sit where'eer you like." he says, gesturing into the diner. You are walking directly into the 80's fantasizing about the 50's. at least 20 marylin monroes bat their sultry eyes at us. three or four James Deans lean on open door frames. A cocophany of other yellowing paintings- Corvettes and coke cans- fill the wall. At the back of the diner two old pacman arcade games are parked quietly. it's completely empty. no music is playing. you and your friends make a series of small squeeking sounds as you slide onto the glittery blue vinyl seats. the February sky is an apathetic grey. leafless tree limbs reach into the sky. you can see two young boys down the street tossing a football in their yard. Underneath the varnish of the table are flyers for local businesses. "DUI lawyer" "Roadkill Deer Processor" "Blade Sharpening" The same boy who seated you, a literal child no more than 13 years old, comes to take your order. at the end of the meal he rings you up by haltingly pressing numbers into a flat rectangular calculator. the total comes to 63.74 you're sure this isn't right, but the whistling wind through the broken door hinge distracts and disorients you so that you don't think to question it. When he prints the receipt it isn't itemized. you tip him 20% and say thank you. while waiting for your friends to pay their bills you are excited to suddenly notice a rube goldberg style gumball machine. you place a quarter in the machine, turn the knob, and the machine releases the gumball, but it gets stuck on the wire track. you shake the machine gently with your palm. The gumball lazily comes loose and flies down the track with a pleasant hum. It clinks to the bottom and you open the metal trap to retrieve it. But when you put the gumball in your mouth it turns to chalky banana-flavored dust. it must have been there for ages. Your eyes wander to a headerless pamplet in 12pt font. you can make out a snippet: "Jesus is coming back sometime in the next few years." sitting next to these pamphlets is a stack of shiny black business cards with an illustration of a ventriloquist dummy, its bulging green eyes and yellowed teeth grinning up at you. a small clock floats beside him. what could this business possibly be advertising? you feel compelled to take one, and pocket it. "Where y'all from?" A middle-aged man in a grease stained shirt has now appeared- the young boy wasn't here alone after all. "the city, but we came in from the Ozarks this morning" "Ooh, cold out there, huh?" "yessir." but, if you remember correctly, it was a balmy weekend out on the lake. finally all the transactions are over and you hurry out the door, into the car, and onto the highway, careening past the range Rover with "AMISH MAFIA" written in flowery decals across the top of the windshield. when you get home you remember the creepy business card in your pocket. upon pulling it out. "24 HR SIGNS." In the background it features a truck yard and a clear blue sky. not exactly tasteful, but not creepy. you turn it over, confused, but it's blank on the other side. "6060 S. Limit Ave" it reads "Call anytime" read more

I love this place! The burgers are really good. Puts you in mind of an old 50's style diner. I've been going here for years & don't think I've ever been disappointed. I describe the burgers as a "greasy" burger...but not in a bad way. It's how I like them! Everything I've ever had is good! read more

STICK IT IN MY MOUTH. Ok, sorry....I got a little excited there. But seriously, Goody's is so freaking good. I wish I had more hands so I could give it 4 thumbs up. Steakburgers. Beer battered onion rings. Fried mushrooms. Milkshakes. And they're all delicious. If you're passing through Sedalia on your way to the lake, this is well worth the stop. read more
