Breakfast diner serving huge portions of comfort food and scrambles
"Magazine Street’s quirky, always-slammed diner is known for their Slammer options, a hangover helper made with hashbrowns and scrambles of various sort (eggs, chili, tofu, etc.). Slim Goodie’s also offers “slammers” for the starving, huge portions of breakfast goodness." - Beth D’Addono
"Listed as open on Tuesday, Jan. 21 with service until 2 p.m." - Clair Lorell
"Walking into Slim Goodies feels like you took a road trip in the ‘80s and stopped at a diner. There are Polaroids of guests all over the walls, Debbie Gibson and Madonna playing on the speakers, and new friends at every table. You can’t go wrong with any of the omelets or pancakes, but the more excessive plates tend to be the best things. Like the extra meaty and cheesy Sinkhole omelet and the Banarama pancake that contains an entire banana. The cocktails are especially good, like the brandy milk punch, refreshing satsuma frozen lemonade, and chaotic Bloody Mary served in a hurricane glass with bacon, fried potatoes, and pickled vegetables. Come here on a day when you have no plans, and take a drink to go while you spend a couple hours strolling and window shopping in the neighborhood." - megan braden perry

"The big daddy of the Irish Channel’s breakfast and brunch scene, Slim Goodies is a diner that dishes huge helpings of breakfast dishes and comfort food. Try a slammer, the enormous breakfast combos, crazy pancakes, or the dish with the name that discomforts new residents and tourists: the Jewish Coonass, with potato latkes topped with fresh grilled spinach, eggs, and homemade crawfish etouffee. Or say yes to a variety or burgers and loaded fries." - Eater Staff
