Goood Friends operates inside Jackie O's in Downtown Columbus, an extension of the brewery's food program. The restaurant is run by partners Stephan Madias, Tyler Minnis, and Terry Gibbs, who bring experience from around the Central Ohio restaurant scene — Gibbs owns Paulie Gee's, Madias is behind Wario's, and Minnis has worked as co-owner of Angry Bear Kitchen and led the kitchen at The Market IV.
The menu leans into Midwest-style comfort food made with scratch ingredients rather than shortcuts. Breakfast sandwiches have developed a following among regulars, alongside dinner service and weekend brunch. A catering arm extends the same made-from-scratch approach to events of varying sizes.
Columbus Monthly named Goood Friends among its best of 2025.
