For generations of Tampa residents, Goody Goody Burgers was an institution in Tampa. That institution, gone for more than a decade, will make its grand return Tuesday, Aug. 23, in Hyde Park.

According to our partners at the Tampa Bay Business Journal, restaurateur Richard Gonzmart, president of the Columbia Restaurant Group, purchased the brand rights to Goody Goody Burgers in 2014. His group has since focused on bringing the brand back in the most authentic way possible.
The restaurant's menu will include Goody Goody's secret-sauce-topped burgers, signature French fries and butterscotch pie. The restaurant will also feature an all-day breakfast menu.
On the restaurant's website, Gonzmart pledged the new Goody Goody Burgers will not use frozen French fries or artificial ingredients.
