Tucked away near the outskirts of Lowell, nestled in an old-fashioned building, is Good Thymes Family Restaurant. Don’t let the unassuming exterior fool you—this place serves up some surprising delights! Their extensive menu features all-American classics, from mouthwatering meatloaf to flaky fish. The portions are generous, even at lunchtime. My shepherd’s pie was a symphony of flavors, with tender ground beef topped with creamy corn mashed potatoes. The crispy onion rings and melty cheese sticks were equally impressive. While the food stole the show, the service left room for improvement. Our server was friendly but occasionally inattentive. We hoped to order dessert to go but gave up after waiting an eternity. It’s a minor drawback, but a bit of extra attentiveness would elevate the dining experience. Despite the service hiccup, the delicious food and cozy atmosphere make Good Thymes worth a visit if you’re in the area. It’s a casual spot with surprisingly good eats, perfect for a satisfying meal with family or friends. Just remember to order dessert at your table if you’re craving a sweet treat on the go.

I was driving down 495 toward NYC and searched “restaurant” on Google Maps near Lowell. Good Thymes Family Restaurant came up, and I decided to give it a try. Glad I did! The Chicken Marsala ($22) was delicious – rich, tender, and full of flavor. The rest of the menu looked great too - classic comfort food with plenty of solid options. Service was friendly, the place felt warm and welcoming. Totally worth the stop. A great unexpected find!

The service here was fantastic. My vegetarian daughter only had two choices, pasta Alfredo or a salad. That was disappointing. My corn chowder was good however. Did feel a tad like it catered to an older clientele.

Good food. Great price. Nice staff. Very family friendly. My mom and dad (in their 80s) love the place . I had a fantastic steak and loaded baked potato.

Took the entire family and truly enjoyed the experience. Great service, large portions and reasonable prices. We got the chicken cordon bleau, turkey and gravy dinner, and chicken Parmesan. Then we ordered the chocolate peanut butter pie, strawberry shortcake and brownie sundae. Everything was delicious. We will be back.

This was my first visit to this restaurant, and while I appreciated the atmosphere and excellent service, unfortunately, both my girlfriend and I experienced food poisoning after consuming our meals. I had ordered the fish, and she had the chicken parmesan. Although we enjoyed our meals, something seemed amiss, and we began to feel unwell during our drive home.

First time and we loved it! The waitress was very knowledgeable and patient with us explaining every dish and provided some great recommendations. We ordered, turkey, chicken croquettes, and baked cod. Everything was delicious, and tasted like homemade food. Will come back again for sure!

This restaurant is quite strange upon walking it it is like your average chain bakery restaurant with pies in the cases. The manager (possibly owner) was at the counter talking with an applicant. There was another girl trying to get tables set up for two other people that were waiting. Nobody acknowledges us for about 5 minutes. After the manager dealt with the applicant she took a phone call and walked away. Eventually she came back and sat us. When you walk into the restaurant you are in silk flower land. Over the arches hanging from the ceiling. It seems as though you are maybe entering a wedding event center. In between dining areas there are tiny disco balls hanging. Like I said strange. The waitress was really nice she answered all of my questions. Water and tea came in closer to a wine glass than a goblet. To start we ordered clam chowder soup. It was lacking flavor. It was thick and seemingly rich but it was missing something. The chicken Marsala was one of the 20 specials of the night. It was breaded chicken cutlets (2) over a bed of fettuccine and Marsala sauce. The chicken lacked and was probably frozen the sauce was tasty. I had chicken cordon bleu with mashed potatoes and Cole slaw. The Cole slaw was ok. It was slightly soupy and not as much crunch as I like. The mashed potatoes seemed like box and the gravy seemed like jarred. Neither one had any substantial flavor. The cutlets were bland. Overall, the waitress was good. The rest left little to be desired. It seems that they are trying to be fancier than the diner they are.

Went for Lunch with Ethel & Martha. Nicely decorated & our server, Kerri could not have been nicer. PRO- The food & service were very good. I got a open turkey sandwich, which I love but never see much anymore. Ethel got the baked haddock & Martha got the fried haddock & fries. Servings were good sized, but not crazy. CON- I got nothing SO- If you are in the area, this is a very good place to stop.

Awesome Baked Haddock! It's been my favorite for decades! Fresh every day since before the Millennium the first time we went. All other menu items are so very good. Try their Shoestring Onion Rings Appetizer thy will be so perfect a beginning! Service exceptional! Ambiance is elegant and yet comfortable. Desert is worth taking home!

We went for an early dinner right after work around 5. We were seated immediately. The tables were clean and it was very cozy inside. I ordered a sangria and the haddock/shrimp combo. Our waitress was very nice and super attentive as she asked us if we needed anything frequently in between checking on her other tables. Overall, the food was really good, the sangria was really good, and we had a nice time! Another great thing about this restaurant is the private parking lot in the back! It's very hard to find places in Lowell with actual parking lots, so this was very convenient.

Went there with my daughter to meet a friend of mine. It is a large place that is well laid out with plenty of space. They have a large bar at the very back. Our server was great. She was very attentive and got us food and drinks whenever we needed them. She was pleasant and knowledgeable about the food offered. Speaking about the food, it was very good. I had a baked seafood dish which included large baked stuffed shrimp, scallops and haddock. I got a properly prepared baked potato and some great carrots. Everything was prepared well. We splurged and had a baked brownie with chocolate sauce for dessert. They make all of their own desserts. You can certainly tell. Value was very good as well. The prices were very reasonable when you consider the quality of the food, drink and service

I didn't think it was that great but a lot of people I know love it there. Maybe it was just an off night.

More like Good Thymes gone Bad... Gosh, where to start? How about just stating the obvious? This place has seen better days. Better service. Better food. It is seriously in a decline, and it doesn't really seem like they care. Granted, we haven't physically been there since the pandemic (though we did support them through take out throughout COVID). Arrived this afternoon with my mom and kids to sit down and enjoy a nice meal. Surprise, there is now a 4% service fee for paying with a credit card - but no equivalent discount for paying cash. Hm... There were only four tables occupied when we arrived. While the manager seated us promptly, our server (whose name I'll leave out) was just plain horrible - to put it mildly. Why bother asking what we want if you can't remember it? Is it really that hard to remember two waters, a root beer and an apple juice? Looks like it is, because after asking no fewer than four times, she decided that she had to write it down. Mom asked for a cup of turkey rice soup (more on that later) and table bread. Not that it mattered, because once the server walked away it took her 15 minutes to bring the drinks - but not any bread or soup. Of course, she brought the people who got seated after us their drinks (and bread), but maybe she didn't see any reason to rush back to us since we got non alcoholic beverages? She asked for our food orders, then realized she couldn't remember anything (again) and made it a point that she had to write this all down because she wouldn't be able to keep track of it. Almost like a cheeseburger/fries, chicken tenders/fries, turkey dinner (with standard mashed/beets), and chicken croquettes (butternut squash/carrots) were a difficult order. Not like there are lots of other people there, either. But that's ok. Let's get some yummy food, going, right? We asked about the soup and the bread and were told they would be right out. Over 25 minutes later, the food arrives. Still no soup or bread. And when my mom asked for it the server seemed surprised we still wanted any, and then pointed out that she must have forgotten. Needless to say, this is not the level of service we recall experiencing here for years. But that's okay. Maybe the food will make up for it. "Maybe." My meal had corn instead of carrots. She offered to take it back; I declined and asked her to just bring me the carrots. There might be a charge she said - "no" there won't be, I pointed out, as she had clearly written it down and reviewed it with me twice when she put the order int, and I can't eat corn. "Ok" she says. What about my soup, my mom asks? "Oh, I forgot" she replies. "I'd really like my soup" mom points out. "But your meal is here" she replies. "Right, but she really wanted her soup, can you please just serve it for her?" I asked. "Um, ok" she says. Even though no one else has been seated, and others have left, so its not like she is attending to others, it take another 5 minutes before the soup and carrots arrive. Mom's out of water. Does she ask to refill it? Nope. Just drops off the food and rushes off. Mom barely had any soup, as she didn't care for the taste. I tried it and agreed. Oh well. She goes to dig into her meal. The mashed potatos are cold to the touch. The turkey is tough and dry. The stuffing is cold to the touch. What is going on? Does the server come by to check on us? Nope. Eventually, the manager stops by and asks how the meal was, while the server was hovering. I explained the issues with the food, while leaving out the service concerns (again, because the server was hovering). While the manager appeared embarrassed, there was a brief "I'm sorry it wasn't that great" and that was it, as she walked away. While I wasn't looking for any sort of freebie or anything like that, the apology seemed more canned than sincere. The bill came. I paid it along with the service fee. No tip. On the car ride home, the kids pointed out how they didn't enjoy their own food, but didn't want to say anything because of the issues grandma was having, and then talked about it was the worst service they've ever experienced. I agree with them. It was completely off. If they had been full, and the server were running around like crazy and the kitchen was crazy, I'd at least understand it a little better, but no. It was completely off. The service sucked. The food sucked. And it didn't seem like anyone there cared. We won't be back. Why bother? There are better choices, with better service and better food. Bummer though. The place used to have such a great food selection and awesome service. Blame the pandemic? Nah, that was years ago. Save yourself the trip. Save yourself the service fee. Save yourself the aggravation. Go elsewhere. This place is just way past its prime, and survives on what was a much better past.

I love this place. It's welcoming and the wait staff are always so pleasant. The food is always delicious. The desserts are homemade and are outstanding. I have not had a bad meal here. Did I mention the coconut cream pie is to die for. Highly recommend.

Came here a few days ago for dinner when my girls, seated within 10mins, they got their beautiful floral decoration up, the atmosphere is very nice. We got our bread, it was a bit hard with small cold hard butter. We got seafood casseroles which was tasty, jumbo shrimps and scallops soaked in butter and ritz crackers. But the main thing is the dessert. Absolutely go back for the dessert. Service was great, the waitress was very attentive and checked on us every 10-15 mins, quick with boxes and the check.

This was quite a surprise. It was an unexpected choice. I got the chicken and broccoli and it was VERY good. The chicken breast was still juicy and the broccoli was fresh and crunchy. The pasta was not as al dented as I like but still very good. Ask for.Katie as a server she was very good.

I took my adult son here for lunch today. We both thought the large sprays of artificial flowers hanging from the ceiling and in vases were colorful but tacky. This is definitely a meeting place for the grey-haired set (of which I am a member), so lunch was a quiet affair. I had the Croquettes, which only included one croquette, and my son ordered Fried Chicken. Each meal came with two sides. My (refillable) iced Tea was $3.99, and his beer was $6. Food was pleasant but uninspired. Lunch came to $47, tip not included. Service was quick and efficient. But as this was a poor choice price-wise, it's now off the list.

We just wanted to find a place to eat. The mailman suggested Good Themes. I had the haddock which was cooked perfectly. My cousin had the ribs and he said they were some of the best he has ever had. His wife had the shrimp scampi and she loved it. The desserts were excellent and homemade. The server was very personable and was very good. Highly recommend Good Thymes.

This was my first time at the restaurant. A friend recommended this place, and we went together to check it out. It's spotless and ambiance and cozy. The waitress is warm and friendly. And checks upon us to see we are well taken care of. And. Since it was my first time, it was a bit challenging to choose a meal to decide. But it's okay, and they were patient and served the best possible way.

What a nice, old-school, family restaurant in what appeared to be one of the nicer sections of Lowell. We had the Chicken, Brocolli & Ziti and the Croquettes. We came at the busiest time on a Saturday during Memorial Day Weekend and they worked hard at getting everyone seated ASAP! My girlfriend and I were both amazed at how it seemed like the manager/host/owner maybe...seemed to know everyone and worked tirelessly to ensure everyone was happy. We were seated in a very reasonable amount of time and liked the vibe of this place. Sure we were one of the younger couples but that didn't bother us, in fact it was nice to hear some of their convos...rather than younger people obsessed with their phones. -The food was all good or excellent. -The service was very good. -For what we had: apps, entrees, drinks, and dessert to go, I think the price was fair. Neither of us would hesitate to return! Glad to see you can still get a nice meal, in a nice place and not pay an arm and a leg. Glad this place seems to have survived and maybe even thrived during the pandemic...

Coconut shrimp is amazing if they change the oil more often I would probably get it on a daily

Food is very good, service is generally excellent as well. Country fried chicken and stuffed chicken are favorites. Rolling out the desert cart is a sight to behold. Down sides: beyond frigid there last time I stopped in (and I like cold!) - could be an end of summer/not quite fall problem. Also, some of the veggies are canned, so I would ask about them in advance if it matters to you - generally the sides are pretty good, though. Also, no matter how many times they get new menus, they cannot seem to grasp how to spell "shepherd's pie".

Lowell, MA is not the type of place you probably would go out of your way to eat lunch in. It's gritty, shitty and after dark even a bit dangerous. Parking is also an absolute bitch. You might know Lowell as the birthplace of Jack Kerouac, the city the movie 'The Fighter' was set in or a hugely important city during the industrial revolution once famous for producing textiles. China entered the picture and the once thriving city slowly began to decay into what it is now. Sadly, Lowell's story is the story of many once thriving manufacturing towns and cities now plagued by poverty and drug problems. Cobblestones restaurant is a fantastic place for upscale dining in the city but parking there is an absolute nightmare. I had a client meeting in Lowell and this place is well outside the city city ... so I picked here due to the stellar reviews. It did not disappoint. Know in advance that this place is a blue hair paradise ... 80% of its diners are elderly. That's usually the sign of a place that has good prices, consistent quality and value. A bonus is that the throngs of elderly diners also usually point the way to finding some long lost menu items, once popular in the 1940s and 1950s but have since dissapeared from American menus in favor of quinoa, kale salads and pho bowls. I'm talking about chicken croquettes, turkey a la king and deli sandwiches with real sliced meats vs. prepackaged cold cuts. This is the type of place where mashed potato and gravy is a standard side item, cole slaw comes with meat dishes and there is a giant case stacked high with freshly baked pies and desserts in the way you'd expect a diner from NJ to greet you. Sure, this place is right next to a cemetary so you'll be dining with black suit wearing mourners in addition to a geriatric crowd. This is not the type of spot you'll find folks doing business meetings, which is exactly why I chose it for a business meeting. The chicken croquettes are astounding. They vary by day of the week from turkey and salmon but luckily I came on a chicken day. It's finely minced chicken made into 2 patties and fried. Kind of like a crab cale but a bit more moist and will plase both hard and soft texture eaters. Served with perfectly done salty mashed potatoes with traditional brown diner-style gravy. The cole slaw was decent and my beverages were refilled before they were empty, another hallmark of an 'old people restaurant' as that age group is generally very demanding on waitstaff and don't have time to wait around to ask for refills given the clock ticking. The turkey sandwich is made with real carved turkey and not packaged thin sliced deli cold cuts. It comes with crisp french fries but other sides can be substituted. The fried clam plates looked amazing and the portions here are big enough that you'll leave full. The decor is interesting. Personally given the menu I would prefer wood paneling and comfy booths. What you actually find feels like a 1980's wedding and banquet hall. Pink and blue with white formica, lots of mirrors and large floral arrangements. Perhaps the decor reminiscent of an upscale nursing home makes the older crowd feel pretty at home. If you are looking for a not fancy spot which serves good tasting food at great value, you won't leave here disappointed. There is absolutely nothing trendy or modern about this place ... it's like the dish of hard candy your grandparents kept on the front table. Another plus is that it has plenty of rear parking in the back, it's right off the highway near a shopping plaza with a Target and a Marshalls and the staff is friendly.

Good Thymes family style restaurant has really stepped up their game in the last few years. Not to say that Good Thymes wasn't always consistently good, they are really knocking it out of the park now. The restaurant used to be pretty busy but nothing like what I witnessed on the day I visited. On my most recent visit lunchtime on a weekday, there were people filing in by the second. This is a popular place for lunch as the secret is out! I used to go to GT when I was in the area when I was with family, as it is convenient to my yiayia's house. The food is always consistently good. Some favorites are their broiled and fried seafood, their turkey dinner, and their salads with or without meat. A restaurant favorite, their croquettes are wildly popular and are a fixture on the menu but they also have special versions periodically. There are usually specials of the day as well. The portions are a great size and I feel the value is good for the cost. There is also an array of food for every appetite. Good Thymes does not take reservations so plan accordingly during high volume times. There is seating in the waiting area which is nice and if you aren't able to get a seat there is ample standing room. The hostesses were nice, pleasant, and helpful as was a manager (I think) that came to check up on us after our group was seated. Our server, Stephanie, was excellent and very attentive. Being that it was a busy day, Kayla, another server stepped in before Stephanie could greet us. Kayla even took our drink orders and gave our appetizer order to Stephanie! Great service and teamwork and Kayla's efforts were much appreciated. When Stephanie arrived at our table she didn't miss a beat. I received two iced tea refills without asking and without the glasses being all the way full yet. For starters we had an appetizer trio sampler which you could modify how you wanted. Ours consisted of onion rings, fried mozzarella triangles, and potato skins. The appetizer came out with the contents hot and it was tasty and a good deal at $9.99. For my entree, I had the fish casserole and I modify it to not include breadcrumbs although they do a nice job with that. The haddock was fresh, cooked well, and tasty. I was looking forward to having their signature butternut squash side (fave) but they didn't have that on the particular day I went. I settled for steamed broccoli and their pleasantly sweet (perhaps honey glazed) carrots as my sides and they were delish! There are very tempting desserts that come around on a dessert tray. There are also pretty and delectable looking desserts and pies in cases off to the left when you want in. Peruse the options, you don't ingest calories by looking! Everything looked really tempting but as my company agreed, we were FULL. Parking can be found at the side of the restaurant when you turn in, in the back, or ok Gorham St. towards the front of the restaurant. I will definitely be back! Thanks, Good Thymes!

Basically this is the townie Sunday Afternoon After Church Lunch restaurant of your dreams. Great, friendly, patient waitstaff. Clean as the dickens. Lovely black and white photos of local Lowell factory girls and historical things. A DESSERT/PIE/PUDDING CART! It's got so much going for it. Everything is older but kept pristine, and the kids meals are $4 and come with the works, including a generous scoop of ice cream. The food was that classic portion size. Not huge, not small, super fresh and very tasty. It really reminded me of like how the 99 Restaurant here in New England tries to be, minus the small chain feel. We all are and were full without rolling out the door and even my kids were into the chicken strips which looked and tasted like someone hand breaded them instead of dumping out the same Weaver nuggets onto a broiler tray like I do on lazy days at home. Just, over all nice experience and it was such a. Relaxing atmosphere to bring my kids to and sit and eat a nice quiet yummy meal. Most people there are clearly regulars, including the older gentleman who scooted by us as we were waiting for the hostess, asking her, "Have you seen my date?" and was promptly escorted over. Hehe. Cute cute cute. We'll be back for sure.

We came here on a Sunday afternoon right when they opened at 4pm! We chose to sit outside because it was a beautiful day! We loved the food and the environment. The waitress was amazing and super efficient. I got soup and chicken broccoli alfredo! The chicken broccoli Alfredo was DELISH! Would go out of my way to come back just for this because it was amazing! Reasonably priced and yummy! Happy to have popped in! There is a graveyard directly across from the restaurant so be sensitive and aware of that, but other than that it was lovely!

Hubby found this restaurant via reviews on Trip Advisor so we (plus one friend) decided to try it on a Sunday night for dinner. Ample parking in the lot right outside the front entrance upon arrival around 5:30 p. Greeted by a very friendly hostess with a wait around 5-10 minutes. Just enough time for us to salivate over the dessert cases at the front entrance. We were seated very shortly at a booth and the restaurant was fairly full. Our waitress came over immediately and offered drinks (we all opted for tap water) and complimentary bread and butter was offered and delivered quickly. The bread was pre-sliced and not warm but very soft and fresh. We ate only a few slices saving room for the yummy desserts. We also decided to skip any appetizers/salads ...again saving room. Hubby came determined to order fish so decided on the fries haddock nuggets, Cole slaw and sweet potato fries. My friend and I decided to share and create a surf and turf. We ordered the seafood casserole, Cole slaw and sweet potato fries and the braised short ribs, rice and carrots. It took 20 minutes or so for the entrees to arrive. Hubby enjoyed everything he ordered. Sweet potato fries were hot and crispy much like the Alexia frozen fries you find in the grocery stores. Cole slaw was good with the right amount of seasoning and mayo. The braised short ribs were tender boy came in a fairly heavy gravy which my friend did not prefer but I liked it. Rice was fluffy, not heavily seasoned so went will with the gravy. Carrots were good, not drowning in butter. Seafood casserole came with a fairly good amount of jumbo shrimp, scallops and haddock all fresh and perfectly cooked. Usually seafood in casseroles are overcooked. Light bread crumbs and not drenched in butter. Then came desert time ... a cart with all of the desserts gets wheeled to our table and the moment of truth - which ONE? Hubby already decided on the banana cream pie and my friend and I chose the coconut cream pie and the brownie sundae to share. The desserts came pretty quickly and they were HUGE! My friend decided that we should eat the brownie sundae first because it was something that would be hard to take home so we took a few bites of the coconut cream pie and proceeded to devour the sundae. The brownie was hot and fudgy, ice cream and whipped cream ample. Perfect, not too sweet. The toasted coconut cream pie was less tasty after having had a bite of the sundae first but the next day for lunch, I had half of the half we portioned out and it was delish! Toasted coconut flakes added a pop to the pie. Hubby loved his banana cream pie and hardly shared. Total tab a little over $100 including tip. Very well worth the price. Service was great, our server was lovely, friendly and attentive. We're fans and will be back! We will also take note of this place being one where we can just swing by and grab dessert to go in the future!

Great drinks, great food, and the prime rib I will always keep drooling over. Service is great and courteous. I loved their assortment of dessert with whip cream frosting!

Food was great, happy I gave it a chance! I have driven by for years and it was recommended as a good home cooked meal alternative during my kitchen renovation.

Food is generally pretty good and reliable. Prices are a bit high for what you get. A few meals that were standard on the Menu are now just specials once and a while. Cup of soup to expensive.

The food is usually very good, and made in a timely manner. We order takeout a few times every few months, & had dinner inside a few times which has a quaint, cozy feel, dimmed lightening, delish after dinner dessert/ liquore/cafe cart with usual selections like homemade chocolate cake banana cream pie, carrott cake, so good! The staff is wonderful although the prices have gone up A LOT over the past few years, but we still Good Thymes.

Great Local Restaurant!! The service is great friendly staff. I had the Home Made Chicken Pot Pie- it had lots of juicy hot Chicken bits in a creamy sauce and crispy crust. The carrots were a great complement. The potions is Large so I had left overs for Lunch Tomorrow at work

Came here early one Sunday and it was a nice place. The service was nice and very sweet. Food was very good. I got the country fried chicken. Found it a little less than I expected but I did enjoy it a lot! Will definitely going back here with my lovely boyfriend.

We needed to be in Lowell and decided to get dinner here on a Saturday based on yelp reviews. I feel badly writing a mediocre review because everyone working was super friendly and efficient and the restaurant was extremely clean - you can tell people really care about this business. There appeared to be lots of locals enjoying themselves which was nice. However the food was really mediocre and I don't think I have a high end palette or anything. Ordered the calamari appetizer, steak tips and chicken parm. Was surprised at the quality - it was definitely nothing special. I can get these meals at my local pizza joint and they're better. My hair, coat and clothes smell like a deep fryer after leaving. I was definitely disappointed. I don't live in the area so I'm not sure I'll try it again.

We decided to check this place out on Saturday night after reading such wonderful reviews on here. As soon as we walked through the door, the restaurant gave off such a homey feeling. The restaurant was decorated with holiday decorations and we were greeted with smiles from the staff. The friendly lady at the host stand led us to our table and shortly after we were greeted by our server, Stephanie. She was very attentive, informative, and had an overall great attitude. We ordered 2 large orders of prime rib from the specials menu which I highly recommend. It was cooked exactly how we ordered it, medium rare. For sides we got mashed with gravy and carrots which were both delicious. This is a great place to come if you're in the mood for comfort food and great service. We will absolutely be returning.
