Ham ‘n Goodys

I’ve never had a bad experience but have only been getting various cookies for as far back as I can remember. I have ordered the lemon cookies for countless get togethers and will continue to do so. I would recommend if you want a delicious cookie experience.

so my wife wanted to stop in for a slice of cake and I wanted to try a ham sandwich which they are supposed to have local, home smoked ham. That sounded great, a nice ham and swiss. Went inside and there were two people ahead of us. I asked an employee for a menu (not one in the place). I was told they were taped to the front counter and I would need to wait to see them. What is so special about these menus? Does the establishment really have a problem with menu theft? Anyways, I get to the counter and view this valuable menu. if old, torn laminated menus are such a commodity in East Tennessee, they are in! Why the snooty fuss? Asked about dessert items and they are all sold out (only been open for an hour so that makes zero sense. The place was dead.) kinda throws a red flag. Asked for potato salad-​sold out. come on now. Choice of bread was wheat or wheat — probably from the Kerns outlet bakery cause it was stale. The ham tasted like packaged ham from the grocery and the Swiss was not real or very poor quality. All of this for $ 9.00. Seriously, nine F’ing dollars. This place is a JOKE. Seriously, this place is laughable and a disgrace to all other eating establishments in Sequoia

Ham’n Goodys is really goody. I seriously drive across town for these goody goodies.
Everyone raves about the lemon cookies. Well… believe it! They are sooo scrumptious! I can honestly say that I have never tasted anything like it. The lemon flavor is distinctive and the glaze has a smooth finish. If you like soft and chewy cookies then you’ll love these. At $ 1 a pop you’ll be glad you did.
I’m also a big fan of the tea cakes. Actually, I like these more than the lemon cookies. At $ 3 – 4 per cookie they are expensive but totally worth every penny. The tea cakes have a rich almond flavor and taste like wedding cake. Oh the butter is just decadent and melts in your mouth like heaven! You can get the tea cookie glazed or unglazed. I prefer unglazed.
They close at 2 on Saturdays and are not open Sundays. I haven’t tried the food menu here (weekdays only) and the service has always been fine. The cookies are so good this mom and pop shop can probably afford to be ‘just fine’ with their customer service.
Cookies make it all better, right?

If you like lemon cookies, definitely give them a try! Personally, I believe they have one of the most delectable red velvet cakes I’ve had from out (locally) when you just don’t feel like making your own! Would definitely recommend them for dessert! They offer by-​the-​slice or whole cakes. Curious about their holiday meats, pies, etc. but never personally tried any to be able to comment. On our list though! *UPDATE: Stopped in for lunch. Husband ordered a ham and swiss cheese sandwich. Not worth $ 7.95 for a deli ham sandwich and $ 0.80 for cheese — $ 8.75 for a ham and swiss sandwich with a 1oz bag of Ruffles. I ordered a slice of red velvet cake for $ 5.50 and received a 7oz cake slice. I was über disappointed and had no choice but reduce my initial rating, unfortunately. Now, we are not certain we will return. Bummer Ham ‘n Goody! :-(

The lemon cookies are my go-​to gift. The staff are unattentive, but, then again, I’d walk thru hot coals to get just one nibble!

Great cookies and desserts but the staff is rude and act as if customers are a nuisance. It’ll be a long time before I go back. Hopefully they’ll read some of the other reviews that express the same sentiment and decide to replace their counter people with better, more courteous employees.

Lemon cookies are the reason my wifes family stops here when we’re in town. Its funny, I’m from AZ and think part of the appeal is the word of mouth aspect and homie feel. Agree with other reviews, the lady at the front is a trip. These cookies are tasty.

My family absolutely loves their lemon cookies. We live in Lebanon and were in Knoxville today visiting. My son and I stopped in to Ham ‘n Goodys at 2:00 to get 2 dozen lemon cookies. We were greeted by a hateful woman you blared «What do you need». I asked how much a dozen lemon cookies would be as she rudely said 8.99 if we had any. I asked if there would be more and she said «not today, you can come back tomorrow». I said I was sorry, as we would not be able to come back tomorrow as we were leaving to go back home. She responded… oh well. It is very sad to me that this location is the only one in town. I sadly do not think I will be back as rudely as we were treated. Not sure if the lady was the owner or not, but she could sure use a lesson in Southern hospitality.

The lemon cookies are amazing! Like melt in your mouth lemony goodness! The sandwiches are also delicious! I had one with ham and chicken.

When visiting new York or Chicago I stop at a deli and enjoy a sandwich. The prices usually match the quality so I don, t mind a 9 or 10 dollar sandwich. I recently stopped at this establishment while traveling and was charged NY city prices with no quality unless a small amount of deli meat on a stale rye bread is quality. Drop the price or add some meat to your sandwiches.

The cookies are to die for! I have never physically been here but have had their cookies a number of times. I love the lemon cookie, chocolate chip and the tea cake.
I plan on popping in for lunch at some point as their menu looks great.
I would recommend for anyone to pop in for a cup-​o-​joe and a dozen cookies.

I think you may have to be a southerner to appreciate a place like this. I had a 5 PM flight back to San Francisco and figured I’d swing by really quick to try out these cookies that everyone was talking about. I tried a «Glazed Tea Cake» which was basically a very large almond-​flavored soft cookie with a sugary icing. This was ridiculously sweet and I didn’t really enjoy it all that much. I had purchased two and the second one ended up not being consumed. The other cookie was the Lemon Glazed, which was much better but also was way too sweet. I’m quite a fatty and I love myself some dessert, but it was just too much for even me.
With regards to the lemon cookie, I actually think that they might have something pretty cool if they made a less-​sweet version of this one, but as-​is I hesitate to recommend it.

After reading the reviews here, I decided to give Ham ‘N Goodys a shot. I’m in search of good, quality desserts in Knoxville, specifically chocolate chip cookies.
My expectations were high. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to them.
The chocolate chip cookies were mediocre at best. I think they’re on par with Kroger deli cookies, which isn’t necessarily bad, but I’m not going to go out of my way to buy that kind of cookie.
I’m all about chocolate, but the walnut brownie was way too sweet for me. (I have never said that about any dessert in my life. My friends actually gasped when I told them. For me to think something is too sweet, it would rot the typical person’s teeth in an instant.) I actually forced myself to eat ¾ of the brownie before throwing the rest away. It also had some kind of icing on top that was just unnecessary and probably pushed it over the edge. I think Chick-​fil-​A does the same thing, only better.
Save yourself the time if it’s out of your way. If not, go in and see for yourself, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Every time we’re in the area we have to make the excursion to Ham ‘N Goodys for what are the best cookies — — Iced Tea Cake Cookies. They’re an almond assault on the palate… and that’s a very good thing. They also have wonderful cakes.

Stopped by for their cookies of course. If you want a southern iced lemon cookie made the correct way you found it, lots of sugar, lots of butter. The almond tea cakes are just as good. While I was waiting for my order three others came in and for the same thing. I got a turkey sandwich to take on the boat. When I opened the sandwich hours later I found our that it was actual turkey… Not in the lunch meat form.

This place is not really known for its lunch even though they do sell sandwiches and salads. They have a pasta salad that rocks. This is the place in town that sells my favorite red velvet cake! You can buy whole cakes for a birthday and they are amazing! The also have cookies, the lemon in particular are everyones favorite. My dad takes several dozen to work every so often and his clients absolutely love them! They sell the cake by the slice if you get there early enough. Check them out! I highly recommend this place!

The soup and sandwiches looked great — but I didn’t get them. The lemon cookies are what they are famous for and they are really good. You can get one free by telling them you never had one before. The white chocolate macadamia nut cookies were even better. I swear one had whole macadamia nuts in it! They sell the cookies for 75 cents each or $ 6.99 for a dozen. They are easily worth more than that!
