Alrighty was it good? Yes. Did it blow my mind…negative. Staff were very nice and pricing was ok. Taste wise the “bbq” chicken didn’t taste bbq’d. More like put in the oven with sauce on it. Mac n cheese, beyond bland. The curry goat was alright. I’m from Fort Lauderdale…hate to sound snobbish but when you grow up with Caribbean food in FL it’s hard to take a step back. If you’re a regular northerner then indeed give this place a try you’ll probably love it. I’ve lived in/ate bbq in TX, GA, and SC. This ain’t what I consider bbq tbh but hey the place has loyal patrons and not much competition in the immediate area.

Their soul is their curry goat. Tender, tasty, meaty, incredibly balanced. The curry goat starts happy and continues to be happy. The rice was thick partly due to the lentils, providing a base for the curry’s jhol. The cabbage was well-salted so that you weren’t bored eating it. That means they have a good vegetarian option in rice, cabbage, and collard greens.

Delicious Caribbean food. Had the jerk chicken and curry chicken. Absolutely delicious especially after a day at the beach.

The food is so good, the prices are reasonable, the store is so clean, the staff is so friendly, the management is so helpful. I love Goody’s, it’s my family’s favorite restaurant to get on days we don’t cook at home. I definitely recommend Goody’s to anyone looking to try something new.

This food was horrible. My friend ordered the large curry chicken for me and the rice & peas was desert dry, the curry chicken had multiple pieces of wingettes in it, no plaintains given and the cabbage was not shredded. They sliced it in huge chunks. It was so disgusting that I couldn’t even eat it. The picture is proof of everything. I don’t know who Gary has running this place now but they’re running his business in the ground.

I was born in the west indies & raised on the food. In my opinion Goody’s food is NOT good. Hard to believe west Indians are preparing this food. Just shop around guys cuz this isn’t it.

The food is good. It’s like your mamas kitchen when it comes to the style of food but if you’ve been spoiled by a friend from the West Indies that can cook, it isn’t as good. It will satisfy a craving for jerk chicken or roti or Mac and cheese. The rice and beans are amazing. I can taste the complicated flavors put into it like coconut. It tastes like love but I find that the Mac and cheese noodles are always over cooked and it’s all a little under seasoned resulting in kind of a mush. The roti shell flavor seems to have changed a little over years. Not as much of a fan as I once was. The food is made with love and it’s quality food. Just wish it had more flavor…like the rice!

I’ve never seen a restaurant weight oxtails. I ordered a small oxtail and she began to put the oxtails in the dish 1st. Then took the plate over to a scale to weigh it. Then came back and took some oxtails OUT and proceeded to give me one piece of dumpling instead of the oxtail.
