RRTOTO | Ready to grab a table at Short North Goody Boy? Reserving ahead is the easiest way to guarantee a spot at Columbus' favorite classic American diner, tucked right in the middle of the Short North Arts District. Whether it's a weeknight bite or a weekend outing with friends, booking online takes just a minute and locks in your table before the dining room fills up.

Short North Goody Boy tends to get busy, especially on weekend evenings and during Short North Gallery Hop nights, so reservations are the best way to skip the wait. A quick booking means you can plan your evening around gallery hopping, shopping, or a night out in the neighborhood without worrying about table availability when you arrive.

Once you're seated, expect the diner's full lineup of comfort-food classics: thick burgers, golden grilled cheese, the meatloaf melt regulars keep coming back for, a hearty Reuben, and a vegetarian portobello sandwich for plant-based guests. Pair any of it with a signature Goody Bag cocktail, a mojito, or a mule from the full bar menu.

If your visit falls Monday through Friday between 3 and 6 pm, you'll catch half-price happy hour on nearly the entire menu — a great reason to book a table for a low-key group hang or an after-work catch-up. As a sister restaurant to Columbus staples like Forno, Standard Hall, Pint House, and Food Hall, Short North Goody Boy brings the same relaxed, welcoming hospitality that's made those spots neighborhood favorites.

Booking is simple: reserve your table online through this page, or give us a call to arrange your visit. Short North Goody Boy is an easy walk from the shops and galleries that line the Short North, so it's a natural stop before or after exploring the district. We look forward to having you at the table.
