Yeah, I wanted to give Good Stuff a higher score, but the taste of some of their burgers left something to be desired.
We came to Good Stuff because it was opened by my main man Spike Mendelsohn who was a contestant on the TV show Top Chef Masters. They have a wide selection of burgers and sandwiches for sale here. Some were great, and some were meh.
The Spike's Sunnyside and Good Stuff Melt were remarkable. Super tasty, fresh ingredients, just a great burger overall. I would say the quality is comparable to "gourmet" burger spots like The Counter, Red Robin, West Coast Beef Co., etc.
On the other hand, burgers like the Barack Obama and the Michelle Obama were underwhelming. The Barack Obama had too much blue cheese so it ended up being super funky, and the Michelle Obama was just too healthy for my taste. I enjoy turkey burgers just as much as anyone (see: Bongo Burger), however, the combination of a dry turkey patty combined with the very seedy whole grain bun made for a bland and dry experience (very healthy tho!)
The thing that made this place pretty epic imo was their sauce selection. They had so many sauces "on tap" which you could dispense into little paper cups to put on your burger or fries. Among these were sauces like mango habanero, horseradish, honey mustard, chipotle, and more. The creamy horseradish sauce was fantastic, would highly recommend.
Looking back, good stuff is a cozy place to get burgers and fries by a b-list celebrity chef. Just be warned that their burgers can be a mixed bag. Good times..
