Mr Goody's Red Wing Diner

Mr Goody's Red Wing Diner is a neighborhood breakfast-and-lunch spot at 1470 North Clinton Avenue in Rochester, NY. Established in 1991, the diner has operated for over three decades in the El Camino neighborhood on the city's northeast side. It serves American comfort food in a casual, counter-style setting and is open daily from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, keeping to a straightforward morning-and-midday schedule. The restaurant accepts major credit cards and debit, and offers dine-in, takeout, and curbside pickup.

The menu centers on affordable, made-to-order breakfast and lunch items. Breakfast — served all day — includes eggs any style with toast and a choice of home fries or grits, with add-on proteins like bacon, ham, sausage, corned beef hash, salmon patty, or NY strip steak. Three-egg omelettes come in several builds, from a basic cheese omelette up to the loaded Mr. Goody's Omelette and the Red Wing Everything omelette. Pancakes and French toast are available in full and short stacks, including chocolate chip versions.

On the lunch side, the menu features hamburgers, cheeseburgers, BLTs, grilled cheese, chicken breast sandwiches, Philly cheesesteaks, and chicken fingers. The Sloppy Plate — served with bread and butter (no buns) and a choice of two sides from home fries, French fries, or macaroni salad — is a signature combo plate. Most items fall well under $10, with egg plates starting around $2.75 and lunch items topping out near $5.

Mr Goody's Red Wing Diner is known for its budget-friendly pricing and filling portions in a classic diner format. Combo plates like the Red Wings No. 1 (two pancakes with eggs) and Mr. Goody's Special (three pancakes with eggs) are among the featured items on the menu. The diner's Sloppy Plate, a hearty build-your-own protein-and-sides dish, is a distinctive offering that sets it apart from typical breakfast spots. With over 30 years at the same location, it is one of the longer-running independent diners along the North Clinton Avenue corridor.
