Great food n even better ppl
I got the double goody cheeseburger with bacon and grilled onions and chicken salad club along with the grilled chicken breast the pams plate it was delicious. Even got two glass bottled drinks Sundrop and RC while I was there. Delicious food and awesome service.
The best. Just the best. Love them. The last greatest real hamburger in the county I’m aware of. Pretty sure rest of the mom & pop joints frozen patties. Best hash browns.Take out only now, but snuck down to depot on rainy day and moved table for a bit. Just the best.
Wow! Didn’t realize they served oatmeal until this morning, I was on my way to work and was going to stop by McDonalds for their oatmeal and saw cars out to the road….I said not today! So I called the Goody Shop and took a chance. Asked them if they serve oatmeal and she said, “yes, that they have brown sugar”. That’s all I needed to hear. I ordered it and OMG!!! I couldn’t believe how good it was and it’s sooooo biggggg!!! I have just a little bit left that I put in my fridge. It lasted me for hours …..until lunch. Hey I’m loving it! I’ll definitely be back for that! It’s bigger up close. Thanks Goody Shop for coming through.
The burgers around. If you have a hardy appetite try a double cheese burger. Omelets are awesome
So Dang, good every time we get food from there. It just makes me wanna come back again even more!
Found this hole in the wall place while trying to decide where to eat in Albemarle. I went by the review of how nice the staff was; couldn’t have chose a better place! The burgers were made to order and their bacon was so crispy! The only thing is they only accept cash and you cannot eat inside but there are tables right around the corner you can eat outdoors. 10/10 highly recommend!
We get lunch here basically every day. A staple in the community. Lynn is as sweet as can be and Hugh is the man.
