Went here for dinner with my fiancé on a Monday night. The service was very nice! Everyone that helped us was really accommodating and explain their menu since it was our first time there.
We ordered a couple entrées and a few sides to try out. The rack of ribs was really good, not the most tender that I’ve had but satisfied our cravings. We also ordered the brisket- a little bit different than what I was expecting, but still delicious! As for the size, we got the mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, collard greens, baked beans, and their cornbread. Our favorite was probably the collard greens, the mashed potatoes was a little lacking in both flavor and appearance..
This is definitely a no frills restaurant, even though there’s not a bunch of decorations everywhere you definitely feel comfortable when walking in. You were the only table in for that night, but there was a lot of people coming in and out for to go orders.

I was told the wait would be 30 minutes we didn’t get our food for another 30 plus minutes.I had to inquire about how much longer it would be before we got our food the side portions were small and not very good, the rib tips were tough. Bland greens and macaroni and cheese. Of course we didn’t want to waste our money so we got through it but never again will I patronize this restaurant (goodies). I don’t now if management has changed or what the hell’s bells. I Will Not be referring my family or friends to goodies restaurant ain’t nothing good about it.

So I came in town, and was looking to kill some time. Looking for unique places, I saw Goodies on my Google search and decided to visit there. When I walked in, nobody but the staff was inside. So of course I got a little nervous, but decided to proceed. It looks like it can sit a lot of patrons with a bar for drinks. I also saw a note about entertainment being available, so it looks like they may have a band or two coming through. The gentlemen was very patient with me as I wanted to look over the menu. I know some bbq spots shred their brisket mixing both ends, so I asked if they did that and they yes. However, I asked to see if I can get more of the fatty point instead and the kitchen was cool with it.
I ordered some whiting, beef brisket, beans and mac. These days when you ordered fried fish it’s becoming hard to visually confirm the fish you ordered. That wasn’t the case hear. It had the look and smell of whiting. The seasoning was a little light on the fish, but it had good flavor. So let’s talk about the brisket. When it came out, it wasn’t shredded at all. And I can see a lot of the fat they added to my portion. My goodness the rendered fat was oozing all over. Whomever cooked this knows their way around some brisket. It had great flavor, though I will say I wasn’t picking up a lot of smoke in the flavor. I was getting more of a baked brisket in each bite, which in most cases would turn me off as I expect more smoke from a bbq restaurant. But the meat was so tender and juicy, if it was baked I’m not mad at it. Mac and cheese is hit or miss (mostly miss) at bbq spots, but thank goodness their mac was a huge hit. All the right cheeses, cheese pull, and the macaroni was seasoned. The beans were a hit too, though I was thrown off by pieces of pepperoni in my beans. Brisket in the beans is the way to go in my opinion.
By the time I was ready to leave, I noticed that many folks started to come in , so my earlier concerns was addressed. I’m glad they showed up on my Google search, and the next time I come to Cincinnati Ill be sure to stop by.
Side note, I didn’t realize this until after the fact but since you pay in advance there is no way to tip them. Not sure why it wasn’t offered when I paid, but it would be nice to do so. Next time Ill bring cash to leave at the table. Might help if they have a tip jar as well.

By far the best bbq ribs and bbq chicken I’ve ever had!!! The smokey flavor is incredible! I always get bbq sauce but I never even need it. Also, the shortskins are freaking amazing!!

Ordered a pound of pork and half a pound of rib tips. I get told it’ll be 20 minutes. Ends up taking almost an entire hour for my food to come out. If you’re gonna order from here order well in advance. The food was fine, nothing super special. Felt somewhat bad for the staff, I think at most I saw 2 people working, and the girl seemed really rushed, even offering a drink for the wait.

I ordered on Uber eats. It was awesome! I use to go to Goodies about 30 years ago when it was in College Hill and I always loved it. It’s my understanding that the son is carrying on the Goodies tradition, and I have to say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Great price and great taste.

I was craving red beans and rice, but I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t feel like driving to Popeyes or McAlister’s. I did a Google search and saw that Goodies has red beans and rice, and a review popped up saying that the red beans and rice were “to die for”, so I ordered a large along with a beef brisket sandwich. The review was obviously a lie because the red beans and rice were NASTY! I couldn’t even eat them. And the “brisket” was nothing but fat, and the small portion of actual meat was a nasty looking brown color, not brown with a pink rim, the way brisket smoked for 12 hours is supposed to look! I just wasted $14, and I’m too sick to go back out to get something else, so I guess I’ll just starve. I will never eat there again! I wish I had taken a picture of the “brisket” before I threw it away. I swear it looked like meat out of a can.

The rib tips were cooked to perfection. The hot BBQ sauce was an excellent level of spicy. The person working the counter took the time to explain the menu options to me and gave a fair assessment of the choices. They made sure to let me know there were desert options available. The wait was kind of long, and the sides seemed to be from a can, but nothing would stop me from coming back the next time I’m in Cincinnati! The food was delicious. The sweet bread is a MUST have. And I got three meals out of the small tips!

The green beans and macaroni were the best part of the meal.. The rib tips were full of bone and very over cooked, the quality isn’t the same.. The last time I had it was probably two years ago and it was great.. The Mac and cheese has gotten better since then.. The rib tips were disappointing, they must’ve changed cooks!!
