Goodbody's Cafe in Plymouth

I definitely recommend staff & food very good what can I say well the breakfast wz so good not dripping in oil susages wz think ones eggs done perfectly 😋 I be back definitely love respect too everyone 💚 should be there again on 20th December

Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Comfy seats. Dog friendly. Clean toilets. Highly recommend.

Goodbodies in Plymouth offers a mixed bag when it comes to their breakfast offerings. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the milkshake - a delicious treat that, while pricey at £7, was worth every sip. However, the main course left something to be desired. At £12 for a standard breakfast, one would expect a hearty meal with quality ingredients. Unfortunately, the meat and mushrooms fell short of expectations, reminiscent of more basic fare you might find in less gourmet settings. The addition I requested for my meal was initially overlooked, which was a bit disappointing. When it did arrive, I had already consumed most of my breakfast. On a positive note, the portion size was generous, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant. The staff were friendly, albeit a bit forgetful with my order modification. While Goodbodies has potential, it seems they may need to reassess their pricing strategy or upgrade their ingredient quality to truly justify the cost. For now, it might be worth a visit if you're in the mood for an excellent milkshake, but temper your expectations for the breakfast

On 17 October there was a long report in the local newspaper announcing that Goodbodys was reopening on 25 October with new management. We came round this morning 4 November to give it a try. The signs were encouraging confirming daily opening for breakfast but at 9.55 when we tried the door, it was looked and all was dark inside. No amount of knocking drew any response. We used Goodbodys in our schooldays in the 60s/70s and it’s existed in some form or other ever since. Not good to find it apparently closed today.

If your hungry then this is the place to go with a great selection of food and drink. with a car park just across the road ...

Good place to pop in for a coffee or 🍵 ☕️ and a bite to eat at reasonable prices. Staff are very friendly, helpful and polite.

Fresh cooked breakfast, service was great.

I love this place, wish they would open at night again so kebab shops, McDonald's and asda weren't the only options of food at night In Plymouth

Good cfood and service, nice cold beers and drinks.

Retro experience....brit through and through. I remember 25 years ago, frequenting with a hearty breakfast....memory lane...tick!!! 2L milkshakes are awesome, does little for the calorie count, but if you are worried about that, you probably should just order eggs!!!

Food was great (although eggs were slightly over done and not as much choice as previously) milk shakes are awesome. Worth a visit 👍

Reasonable food in a decent atmosphere.

Great full English! Absolutely massive. Definitely recommend it.

Lovely people running the place never felt pressured to hurry up eating our food and the lady even sat and chatted to us after we had eaten

Great place to chill and have lots of food and drink for a good price. No need to book. Just turn up and order. Wide variety of breakfasts to choose from plus wraps, sandwiches, grills, curries and even salads.

Great breakfast, some people might find it a bit tight spaced but if you can get to the back it's cozy there, one of these days I'll try to attend the quizzes 👍

Really great staff great food go regularly Tuesday night bingo good fun Always feel welcome

New owners are lovely, came at a slow time so bit quiet, food was nice, cheesy chips were actually melted and not just shredded cheese on chips, cost about the same as other places around here, though the extra burger patty in one of our burgers was good :) please bring back the big nachos, they were the best

Food was nice, burgers were great especially with the extra burger patty chucked in :) cheesy chips perfectly melted, cost similar to other places but that’s not a bad thing, super friendly family staff, came at a slow time but the atmosphere is nice

I have always enjoyed a visit to Goodbody's. This visit was no exception. I love the booths that sit at the edges of the dining area. The staff are always friendly.

Staff were really friendly and the service was good. The food is very cheap and big portions. Good for students. Big chunky chips but curry was not to my taste.

Cracking little eatery that has a lovely welcoming feel great food at a good price and friendly efficient staff.

I waited an hour and a half for a meal that never arrived. After going up to the bar to ask what the situation was it transpired that they had forgotten about my meal all together. Before hand I hand to remind the barman to make my cocktail that I had ordered. No more than 3 weeks before this, I had visited Goodbody’s for breakfast. I had waited for nearly 45 minutes, and when it arrived it was the wrong meal. Never visit this place.

Quiche nd laatte that's love reccomded xxxx💯

Lovely breakfast, definitely going again

Lovely to see this open again. Reasonable prices. Great service super friendly. Will definitely come again thank you. Used to visit regularly years ago

Great peace amazing food and great staff had a breakfast nd coffee and loved it. Atmosphere is great and the staff really care my favorite there so far is the Lexi burger really recommend that. The milkshakes are awesome to all in all a great little cafe it's as if it never left

didnt eat so can't score but food looked good from what I seen. i had coffee which was OK , glad it's back . Worth a visit

Well today was an experience. Myself and my daughter had curry, chips and Nan bread. The curry was disgusting it was more peas than any thing. Nan was fried( thats a new experience in my all my years never had a fried nan bread 🤷‍♀️. Chips where cold. Will never be a return trip from us. Wish I could add pics.

Great spot for breakfast. Loads of other tasty food as well, mine was a breakfast visit. I did see they also serve a selection of milkshakes that are definitely worth a try ☺️

Excellent value for money. Staff very friendly

Third visit since the reopening, the atmosphere food and staff are amongst the best that goodbodys has ever had to offer. And they offer some of the tastier vegetarian options on mutley

0 stars all we could sense when we walked in was an overwhelming smell of cat piss, walked straight out

3rd visit since it re opened. First visit both food and staff were good, second staff lovely, but food not quite as good. 3rd and last visit, one member of staff was downright rude, argued over a wrong order, which even though she was proved wrong, continued to have an attitude about.. and let the rest of the team down. Unfortunately food was only luke warm and not very nice at all.

Very good value for money , lovely staff,will be going there again soon with the rest of my family . Nice to find a place that does proper food

Such kind and considerate staff! We were walking past Goodbodys cafe and our 3 year old tripped over and hurt his knee. He was screaming loudly and a member of staff rushed out; they helped us inside, got the first aid kit so we could clean up our little boy and helped cheer him up. Excellent customer service and such kindness

Well on entering the restaurant I was looking forward to but this very quickly change but thought no let’s just see Well clearly there is a few issues which maybe due to be being understaffed at a busy time with the kitchen not keeping up with the demand . There appeared to be an issue with running out of milk which at first I found amusing but after a while it was clear there was other problems. Just eat orders were stopped but the kitchen did not improve & I felt sorry for the staff member who continuously said sorry to everyone. The coffee I ordered appeared to be in a tea cup & was cold the pot of tea came with no milk but the was a small pot of milk from the previous customer so we used that instead . After 45 minutes the breakfasts arrived minus hash browns so after asking for our missing items they turned up but clearly deap fried & full of fat , the breakfast was cold so I decided to not eat & told a member of staff , I did not want a refund but hopefully this place will improve & it’s just early days but unfortunately I’m back to Weatherspoons so good luck

Had a burger, all day breakfast and a milkshake all for 14.50, really good food and drinks and the staff are proper friendly. Would definitely recommend

I understand Goodbodys has just reopened but we waited an hour for a breakfast then decided to leave, because there were still two tables waiting in front of us. How hard is it to cook breakfasts. It's all about the prep! I hope you get on top of it for the future!

Still the best breakfasts in Plymouth 😁😁💕

First visit since the reopening and the service was brilliant, had the £8 breakfast and it defeated me this time! All cooked to order at a good price! Will definitely be back, well done guys, I wish you all the success! Support local!

Lovely breakfast and affordable prices too - really chuffed it’s reopened. Can’t wait to come back again soon!

Great as always...newly reopened so staff not yet up to speed.. but worth the wait..

Had never been to this place before but heard a lot about how it used to be. I have to say I wasn't disappointed! There was a great atmosphere in there, the breakfast was awesome and I tried one of the legendary milkshakes. I'll definitely be going again and I'll bring some friends too.

After 3 long years the goodbody’s that the people of Plymouth missed so much is finally open ! And it does not disappoint the place is exactly as I remember The food was second to none and so was the service long live goodbody’s

i have been going there for years and shall do 4 many more years 2 come, great to see its open again 😁👍

Permanently closed, notice on building Google maps not updated

Its been a long time since we were here but after today we'll be back. Such a lovely bloke running it now! He went above and beyond for my son on his birthday and I can't thank him enough. 10/10 for customer service (and still cheap as chips.)

A local institution. Been coming here for years and the food and service are always great. Highly recommended.

Interesting cafe with lots of atmosphere. Staff wonderfully flexible in catering for my grandchildrens' meal requests, involving changes to the set menu,which makes it worth revisiting

Had a very bad experience as here has made me ill, I had a breakfast and it wasn't hot enough and there was no check backs and when questioned nothing was done to make any changes. WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE BACK. Wanted to give it zero but wasn't an option.

Very warm and friendly place. Serves very good, food was very nice.

Had the farmhouse breakfast and wasn't disappointed. Service was great and didn't have to wait too long for food will definitely be back again soon xx

Really great food. Love the breakfasts! Prompt service and very polite staff! Am now a regular!

It was my first time in Goodbody's cafe today and I was not disappointed, it had a good atmosphere and quirky design inside. The food was excellent, the service was excellent and on top of that it was very reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning

Our work team of 6 visited today for breakfast. We all had the large breakfast and it was exactly that, large. The waitress gave us a minute to settle in and was attentive. Our drinks order was quickly served followed by our breakfast. No moans here, all enjoyed the food and also the ambiance. Well done and will definitely be back with a larger group.

Visited this morning for a Large breakfast all cooked fresh along with lovely cup of fresh ☕️ coffee. Staff were very pleasant and polite, will definitely return. Thank you

Frendly staff, great food at great prices, good deals such as kids eat free with an adult meal, 10% off when argyle are at home for merchandise wearing fans and burger and beer for £10, well recommened

Had a really nice breakfast this morning, staff were brilliant definitely recommend it 👍

Nice English breakfast I had. It was so lovely and yummy. The setting is calm and lovely inside. Staff wants to make sure you leave happy so they follow up after you had an order and enjoying it.

Sorry but still not up to spec . Sausages were over cooked, eggs too over cooked on one side ? , Menu was very limited. Coffee was ok but I took an age to get food and the restaurant was virtually empty. This place still needs work and hopefully in a year or two it will get there but they need to learn to cook rather than cremate and that will be safe approach. Visit 6/8/22 @ 11 am

Been a few years since ive been here and probably will be a few more before i go back. The decor doesnt seem to have changed but the menus have no longer selling the likes of Scottish or American breakfasts Normal white coffee wasnt hot and the order came out incorrect even though simple enough (no mushrooms on one) but the came out on the wrong one. That said the food was cheap enough and was tasty but i feel i wont be back in there for a long time again.

Ordered breakfast with family kids got there’s waited an hour .half hour after kids got there’s they said messed up girl started taking food off plates and putting on other plates I had to go used all my lunch break up under staffed not good won’t be going back again

Very good. I had a standard breakfast, so pleased I didn't have the large, I'd still be there!!! Prices good, mainly aimed at the student market, who cares I can ride the same bus. Enjoy

Came in for a quick brunch, had a farmhouse standard and a farmhouse large breakfast for myself and partner. She's lactose intolerant, however the staff were amazing, plenty of dairy free options to choose from and we were well looked after!

A lot of less items to choose from Milkshakes were significantly smaller and very smooth

Brand new management. Amazing atmosphere, even on a hot day lile this. The waiter was really friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, I wouls go back there again. Highchair available if you have a child with you.

Stopped in for quick breakfast ,fair priced excellent service perfect stop would highly recommend anyone looking for a delicious breakfast 😋

Great food great service I spend a lot of time travelling and trying different places and that’s up there in the top ten for me

Great value and tasty food. Highly recommend the "Cold Jump Start" for a hair of the dog. Basically a mug of espresso martini and it worked wonders for my hangover.

So glad to see goodbodys back and they're even better than before! As they had only recently reopened and today was their busiest day, we were informed there would be a long wait for the food which myself and my partner were fine with. Perfect brews while we waited and the breakfasts were worth the wait! Friendly service also thank you, looking forward to coming back again :)

Was told half hour wait. then we was waiting 1 hour so asked how long it is going to be then they told us 2 minutes then 20 minutes later food come out with three items missing. Never seen so many people get a refund and walk out. Not sure what the wait was about as it wasn’t even busy. On the other hand the waitresses was lovely.

Haven’t been to Goodbody’s in awhile. Decided to go back and I have to say I love the new layout. Good breakfast. Beth our server was lovely nothing was too much and thank you to Rachel who cooked our breakfast. Thank you ladies. Will be back again soon 😀

Visited Goodbodies, first since the Pandemic and its relaunch and we wasn't disappointed with the service. A clean environment and service with a smile from Beth who took the order and Rachel who cooked it. Definitely value for money and we will be back in the future!

Glad to see the place reopened, it did not disappoint , huge portions, great nachos, friendly service and great prices. Loved the retro/ vintage decor

Come in with the family haven’t been in years, better than I remember. Served by Amy cooked by Josh it was amazing

I have been to Goodbodys twice now since opening. Had a vegan burger the first time which was delicious, not that I’m vegan but was curious to try, would defo have again. The second time I went with four friends. We each had something different ranging from a jacket potato to different burgers and one had a hotdog. The food came out together was nice and hot absolutely yummy. Mine was the Smokey bacon burger well nice. Staff where friendly and welcoming. Will defo go back. Well done to all and good luck I’m sure the place will be jumping before long.

Amazingly friendly staff! Great prices and great menu ^-^ Would highly recommend

Verry good food would hightly recommend

I had a breakfast which was very nicely cooked and hot. Except they forgot one ingredient but served it once I pointed it out and were apologetic. I specifically asked for burnt toast but got warm bread. The waitress was sweet but the waiter irritated the hell out of me. If he called me mate or buddy just one more time I'd have screamed and screamed until I was sick. I'm not his mate or buddy. Instead of mate or buddy three times in every sentence, a simple sir once in a War and Peace sized book would have done - or nothing at all. I'll give it a few months before I go back again.

My first time there and I can say it a very nice place keep to clean standards, I do this one a month to different places try food and see if places are good or bad, Service was pretty quick even though they apologized for the wait, However the food wasn't the best to say. The burger bun tasted style and smell it... the chips was krispy on the outside but rock solid on the inside the only part of the meal that was nice was the chicken and the coleslaw The person that served us was ok...... however they were more concerned about giving away free stuff to three females then actually caring about their service to others, i didn't realize that it is a single person establishment because that is how it came across I hope on my next visit I won't be disappointed with the food or the fragments of the single servicer look to chat up customers

Love the inside. It's great that's it reopened but everything was slightly over cooked and the bacon was cremated. Told staff and the replaced the bacon. New staff new management so I am sure it will get better. Good luck with it.

Happy this place is open again great customer service and great food.

Cracking breakfast and amazing value @ only £4 for the standard size and £7 for the large which I couldnt finish as there was so much. Whole staff team were friendly and welcoming. We do breakfast's all around town and this rates right up there for both taste and value - thanks guys and good luck - we will be back !

The place is the most welcoming place I have been to in a long while. Amazing food especially the burgers! Lovely lovely staff there aswell!! Overall, an amazing place to take family or friends or for even a lone dine!

Used to go to Goodbody's years ago, soooo glad they reopened. We just went and it was great, food was better than ever, atmosphere was great and the lovely Jo was fantastic. Such a good vibe and such a friendly place.

Goodbodys and is better than ever! Food and drink much improved and the seating have been vastly refined. Jo the new manager/owner is very friendly and helpful, only wanting the best for customers. Chef and waitress were also very friendly and professional. A MUST! NOTE: NO DRUNKS OR ADDICTS WANTED HERE FROM THE LAST GOODBODYS! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Lovely friendly staff and great coffee would recommend ❤️

Came in for the farmhouse breakfast and a milkshake. The breakfast was lovely, great ingredients and the staff were really friendly and attentive. The Daim bar milkshake was tasty but a little smaller than I was hoping, but I've been used to past visits when they used to serve stein sized milkshakes. Having just reopened they said they're trying to get their menu right, I would like to see some additions such as waffles and pancakes alongside the more traditional fried breakfasts, and maybe the option for a monster sized milkshake complete with chocolate bar toppings, like they used to serve, but that's just personal preference. Will definitely be back!

Love this place. Amazing breakfasts and the milkshakes are the best in town and the biggest.

Goodbody's has been closed down for a long time. It was great when it was open. Lots of fun

Well portioned vegetarian breakfast, lovely service and the food came out quick

The vegan cheesy chips were I joke, just a slice of vegan cheese thrown on top. The burger was missing salad and pickles as described, just a plain burger in a bun.

Today I've had the most disgusting breakfast bap ever ,the bacon was black ,the egg snotty and the bun had so much oil and grease on it or cheap Marg it was sodden and could not be picked up ! Truly vile . Will never eat there again .

Overcooked food, seem to have been sat under a light since I ordered. Milkshakes were warm. Disappointed.

The Food Is Huge And The Milkshakes Are Massive. Pretty Cheap For The Amount Of Food You Get. Very Cossy And Comfortable.

Sorely missed since the kitchen fire. Update the website so I don't need to go there to establish if it's open yet

Always loved goodbodys, small dark cafe, awesome food and the milkshakes are gorgeous and huge!

Massive portions, friendly staff but cleanliness is another matter. If it was cleaner perhaps youd get an extra star.

Burnt out. Three Score and Ten. Kitchen fire 🔥 or SuminK?
