Goody's Burger House

I decided against a burger and went for the tortilla and it was not too bad. Good portion size, lots of fries. Taste was fresh obviously because I watched them make it. It came on a large cane tray with absorbent paper (better than a napkin) and a small wooden skewer which I imagine was for picking up the fries. Plus a paper napkin. Plus a tiny plastic container with sauce to dip your fries in. All in all, quite minimal on waste. Menu is extensive and there is plenty to choose from. Staff were helpful and friendly. Interesting that there was a radio station or something similar playing in the background in what I would guess was Spanish but this place touts to be Greek so I’m not exactly sure. They could also use some extraction fans as the place has a very strong smell of fried food. As it’s school holidays it was reasonably busy with kids and families. Prime location on the corner or Russell and Lonsdale Streets. Notes: suitable for vegetarians, vegans and those with dietary needs, restaurant is wheelchair friendly, kid friendly and takeaway available.

Found like place to look very nice from the outside. Nice feeling once inside too, with nice decor around the place. Burger itself was nice and was a great idea to be able to choose the size of the burger. Chips on the other hand felt like it let down the meal and couldn't been cooked a little longer to give it the extra crunch. There also seems to be a ventilation problem on the outside as walking along the side of this place (on Lonsdale), the smell of the oil is kind of off-putting.

The old saying goes, "don't judge a book by its cover". Well this is quite true for goodys. From shop fittings, decors to the pictures on the menu, everything looks great. They must have spent a fortune on renovations, however, with all that money spent on the looks, they could have spent a bit more of the quality of the ingredients. Burgers were bland, although not expensive, you would expect a good bun at least. The effort of making a burger just wasn't there, a lifeless burger. Chips were very lightly salted. Overall, charming appearance tainted by the quality of the food. - MustBeHungry

Sadly the nice decor failed to impress me. I liked the décor, but burger was bland. The lettuce leaf hanging out of the burger gives an impression that they are not holding back on good stuff in your burger, turns out that was a decoy. Mystic is too loud, you can't even hear when they call your number. Staff are okay and the place is clean.

A very clever, retro burger house. Depending on how hungry you are, they offer a variety of patties at very affordable prices. Drinks come in a classic coke glass, which I thought was a nice touch. Their regular chip choice may be similar to MacDonalds, but the experience and quality is much better, for not much more money
