Goody’s Deli & Pub

We had a Reuben and a chicken walnut-​cranberry sandwich. Both were great but the Reuben was awesome! It was meaty and on traditional rye bread (which makes a difference). Great atmosphere too!

I’m giving a review strictly for the late night atmosphere and beer.
Goody’s is one of those places I walk to after having 2 – 3 beers at another local bar in the area. There is a blonde bartender with glasses that is absolutely adorable as well as super friendly. The beer here is cheap, the bathrooms are clean and there is a pool table awkwardly lodged towards the back of the restaurant. You do have to watch yourself when you’re going past the folks playing. There are booths, tall tables and the bar where folks can sit and eat or just talk. They have a television set on sports at the bar and the typical bar game console on the counter.
I actually like that the draft bud light comes in a plastic picnic like cup and it is filled to the brim. The menu looks interesting and I’ve heard the food is good but I’ve yet to try it. Maybe next time.
The people I’ve met in there have all been very friendly. I look forward to coming back when hopping around downtown Hampton.

Very small place on the inside. Went here for lunch and order a green gyro and it comes with a side and chips. It was definitely very tasty and filling and they pack it with all of the fixings of a normal Gyro. I would definitely eat here again, but it didn’t have any «Wow» factor.

Went there for a quick bite before Star Wars at the VASC. Reuben’s were awesome and the service was swift and attentive. We’d definitely come back when in the area.

Goody’s makes a good sandwich. For me it was not anything extraordinary, but it was solid. You walk in to this dive type bar with eclectic mostly nautical items all over the walls. There were probably 5 locals there who all knew everyone and when you walk in, they seem to quizzically look at you wondering if you stumbled into the wrong place. Service was a bit slow but I’m pretty sure our bartender made our sandwiches too so what can you expect?
Sandwiches run between $ 7 – 10. Sandwiches come with your choice of coleslaw, potato salad or macaroni salad and a bag of regular potato chips. You can get a hotdog starting at around $ 3. That’s about all that’s on the menu, maybe a quesadilla too. They have a small selection of local /​craft beers along with the regulars. M-​F have craft beers for $ 3 5 – 7 PM so it’s a decent place to grab a beer.
I had the Rueben which was I believe $ 7.95 with potato salad. It was a good reuben with plenty of meat. They want to claim the best in the area and maybe it is in Hampton, but for the Peninsula that’s Mike’s place on Warwick in Newport News. It is cheaper than Mike’s though and was not that far off. Potato salad was very normal, not at all inspiring. I had the always delicious Legend Brown Ale as part of their $ 3 happy hour which made the entire experience more enjoyable.
My Wife got the Italian Sub served hot and it was better than the reuben. She had the coleslaw which was good but nothing great… I mean it’s coleslaw. Her sandwich was around $ 8 as well.
All in all it’s a good place for a beer and a sandwich. I wouldn’t be mad if my friends wanted to go here, but I wouldn’t seek it out either.

Good damn deli sandwiches, cheap and late. Get the Reuben or the chicken quesadillas, you’ll be glad you did! As long as they’re open, they’re serving food (most places on this block close their kitchens as early as 9 pm). Free popcorn in the back, next to the dilapidated excuse for a pool table. Keep in mind that the bartender is the waitress is the cook, so service can be slow. Keep your pants on, the food is worth it.

I was in the area on business. This was a good quick place for a sandwich.

Hungry and need a quick bite to eat?? go here! Nice size sandwiches that are delicious!! gosh, makes me want a Reuben now! ha

Went to the courthouse to grab marriage license papers today, and since the japanese restaurant wasn’t open yet, my family and I decided to try this place out. Walking in with my four year old, I was hesitant because at first glance it looks like a bar. Upon coming in, we sat down at the table in a quiet setting and were promptly served. My fiancé ordered the chicken and cheese melted sandwich, and I ordered a custom turkey sandwich with a side of chili. The food was great, not to mention, as my husband is a current sailor, it was super nice to just admire all of the sailor décor collected over the years. We enjoyed the case of knots display and the various signs. Will be going back for lunch again when we pick up the paperwork to finalize our marriage!

Really good food and large portion sized meals

One of my favorite places. Good sandwiches & knish. Learned to play chess here on Sundays

Good Traditional American cuisine.

So I don’t eat in downtown Hampton that much anymore, but when I used to, I used to go to Goody’s Deli & Pub for one thing – the Rueben sandwich. They seriously know how to make it right and blend the corned beef/​sauerkraut/​Swiss cheese trifecta just right. It’s grilled & awesome. All their sandwiches are $ 7.15 & their deli wraps (I seriously suggest the Hot Pastrami & Swiss Wrap – very generous portion of Pastrami) are $ 7.15 as well. Oh & for a side, if you like Macaroni Salad, definitely check this out. Really good stuff, and a nice staff working there as well.
