Staff friendly, we went later in the night ( 8pm) wasn’t busy at all, environment was good, food was good and prices very reasonable. Would go back againDietary restrictions: Have many gluten free options
I was greeted the moment I walked in. The hostess was super sweet and friendly.The waitress was super sweet and was very attentive. I ordered an appetizer and wasn't sure what I really wanted for an entree. (There were some good choices on the specials to choose from.)The gator bites came out nice and hot, and I didn't have to wait long at all.I finally decided on an entree listed on the specials. I was not disappointed.I would definitely recommend and come again!

Overall pretty good. The fish I had was overcooked but had good flavor. Our server was not rude but not friendly either. She was responsive and attentive which is what matters most. The house Old Fashioned was tasty and we took dessert to go, carrot cake and peanut butter pie, both delicious. Just a pretty good beach spot.

"Goombays is a gem worth discovering, and Kate exemplifies the pinnacle of hospitality and exceptional customer service. The ambiance is inviting, with a spotless, cozy atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. Kate's attentiveness was impeccable, from the warm greeting to the heartfelt farewell. Her recommendation of red snapper with cheddar cheese grits in a delightful tomato-based sauce was truly outstanding. The crisp and refreshing wine perfectly complemented the meal. The 'Goombays family' truly knows how to make guests feel special, and if you're fortunate enough to be in Kate's section, you're in for a treat. However, even if Kate isn't available, rest assured that the other waitstaff uphold the same high standard of service. My experience was so memorable that I couldn't resist stopping by to leave this glowing review. Don't miss out on the experience—make sure to visit Goombays and ask for Kate!"
