Solid spot to go before an event at Nationwide Arena! It was not busy on a Thursday evening. The dead atmosphere was not as fun as we'd hoped but also nice not to have a wait. We had our pick of tables and got a high top. We had a Buffalo chicken wrap and a kale salad and both were good! Price was right.

Goodwood has been a pleasant addition to the Arena District after several restaurants closed their doors in the area. We visited before a Blue Jackets game and it was very busy, which was good to see. If you went to Gordon Biersch before it closed, you would think it just reopened based on the decor. All the tables, chairs, and almost everything else was reused. However, there were some serious upgrades in the menu department. The Goodwood burger had so much flavor and was just the right amount of spicy with the jalapeños. It came with fries which were cooked well and dusted with a seasoning that gave them a lot of flavor. We also had the sweet potato beignets, which were very tasty. If you've been to New Orleans and had a Cafe Du Monde beignet, it's not really the same. However, the flavor is really good, just don't go in with those in mind.

I have reviewed Goodwood once before for a Yelp event but I've since been back twice so wanted to leave a formal review for the restaurant as a whole. All 3 times I've been here I have had generally positive experiences. I will say I've tried about 5 of their beers and have never been blown away which is odd considering they're a brewery. But their mixed drinks are good and they have a list of cans and bottles as well. By and large their standout is anything with beer cheese. The pretzel with beer cheese is soooo good, although the happy hour pretzel bites is a very sad and small portion for $6. The beer cheese mac and cheese is genuinely the best thing on their menu. I've so far tried the drunken chicken sandwich, the pulled pork, and the mac melt. All 3 have been really good, but the max melt is my favorite. The tots and fries are both good with a unique seasoning blend. Service here has always been good for us even when they are super busy before CBJ games which is when we have visited. I will say the bathrooms could use a lot of work. The floor is always sticky and the toilet paper isn't in the dispensers it's just in rolls on top of it. I am glad to have a restaurant here in the Arena District that is a more casual option before games or concerts so I hope to see Goodwood sticking around!

This is my second time visiting Goodwood and the staffs are always super friendly and attentive. Last time when I was here, I fell in love with their wings. Totally on my list of must get item from Goodwood. I also got the Buffalo Cauliflower and the Oh My Cod Sandwich. I really like the Oh My Cod Sandwich. The beer-battered cod is moist and juicy, along with the pickled red onion and the tartar sauce. The Beer Flight is always a fun experience to sample different type of beer. As for parking option, there is couples lots and garage near by the Arena District. For me, I found that the Arena Crossing Garage is convenient.
