Goody's — Restaurant in Savannah

Good chicken, bad everything else.

Ordered: Two breakfast sandwiches (one chicken, one sausage/egg/cheese), beignets, a Vietnamese iced coffee, and tots (not on purpose, though—see below). $41

The good: Fried chicken was well-seasoned, well cooked, and generously portioned.

The bad:

Biscuits (on both sandwiches) were cold and flavorless. In Savannah, biscuits should be a strength, not a weakness.

Sausage was greasy and inedible—I couldn’t get through a bite.

Beignets were dense and slightly sour, not pillowy.

Vietnamese iced coffee tasted like plain iced coffee.

Tots were cold and an undisclosed upsell: $2.95 for about 10 pieces, added as if they came with the sandwich.

Takeaways: 1. The chicken deserves better partners on the plate. 2. At a neighborhood spot, I expect transparency, and the hidden upsell is...

Absolutely LOVED our lunch. We got breakfast and veggie burritos along with a soft drink, Vietnamese coffee, and beignets. Not cheap, it was $50 for the two of us.

Both meal were 100% winner winner, chicken dinner delicious. Big bold well balanced exciting flavors. Unique combos that worked really well.

The breakfast burrito had their magnificent tatter tots and friend chicken. It was not a light meal, it was big heavy and so so declicous. The veggie burrito was memorable in that it was not an afterthought but legit wonderful flavor.

The Vietnamese coffee was one of a kind. Do yourself a favor and get that coffee, its fantastic.

Service was friendly and quick. The overall vibe is nice, cool decor but nothing overwhelming. Its a small sit down dining area.

Thrilled to have Goody's...

I stopped into this great little joint today to see what all the fuss was about. Very happy to see a friendly face on staff (always awesome to see you out and about :3)

I had the iced coffee and the tots and prayers on a biscuit. Both very delicious! There was a long wait but that was very understandable considering just how long the line was when I showed up.

I will say that if you have ARFID like I do, I would probably skip the tots and prayers, especially if you have a texture sensitivity to soft / very saucy foods. That being said the flavor was fantastic! The sauce was killer, and the biscuit was lovely. I think next time I'll get it with tots like the good chefs at Goody's intended.

I will definitely be back again, the morty is officially on my...
