More About
There are two very weak links at the Goody Pancake House. One is the salad bar. Its offerings are largely uninspired, and the produce -- particularly the brown-tipped iceberg lettuce and the soggy cucumbers -- can look downright unappealing and past its prime. Hominy corn is the one truly quirky item, but truth be told, it's too salty and dry to mesh well in salads. The one bright spot: When the croutons are homemade -- which they are occasionally, and you'll be able to tell when they look like fried wontons rather than something off a supermarket shelf -- they are so delicious that you could justifiably help yourself to a bowl of them and call it a meal.
The other unenjoyable part of the menu at Goody Pancake House is, believe it or not, the pancakes. Although the rest of the breakfast items (bacon, sausage, hash browns, grits, etc.) come out just fine, the pancakes are bland and awfully spongy, and it's disheartening to see them served with store-brand syrup, considering how much homemade-ness there is to the rest of the menu. Stick to the soul food, the soul food, the soul food.
