On the Grid : Good Stuff

"Founded in 1979 as a small burger stand in West LA, stop by Good Stuff to get a front-row view of the sand volleyball players and the ocean. This is a great people-watching spot as the flood of tourists and locals alike walk, run, bike, and skateboard down the boardwalk. Good Stuff has plenty of healthy menu options, with a personal favorite being their California Wrap." - HYFN

Good Stuff in Hermosa Beach is absolutely incredible. We came with the whole family — kids, grandma, my wife, and her sister — and had one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had. Our waiter, Beto, was outstanding: attentive, helpful, and genuinely friendly. He made sure everything went smoothly and accommodated my sister-in-law’s celiac/gluten allergy with no issues at all. The food was unbelievable — fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared. On top of that, the location can’t be beat. Eating breakfast while watching volleyball games just a few feet away is such a one-of-a-kind experience. The views, the vibe, the service, and the food all came together to make this a perfect morning. Hands down the best breakfast in the area. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect little cozy place on the beach for our first breakfast on our quick LA trip all the way from Alabama. Our server Beto was phenomenal, very helpful and knowledgeable. He noticed the sun on our backs and moved an umbrella behind us without being asked. The food was amazing, we had the making me Greek omelette with the peanut butter banana muffins and buttery hash browns as well as an order of French toast. We will definitely be back next trip!

Had a lovely breakfast here with my colleagues at Hermosa Beach. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and we felt truly welcomed. A special shoutout to Beto for making the experience even better – friendly, attentive, and professional. Highly recommend this spot!

I have high standards when it comes to eating out because I very much enjoy just cooking for myself.. so believe me when I say I was very pleased with my experience here The flavours and textures were all delicious and very satisfying. The servers (I believe ours was named Annie? With the henna freckles) was super duper kind, with the most genuine smile. On top of all of this, the fact that this place fries their food with coconut oil??? The absolute cherry on top. If I lived in the area I would eat here alll the dang time.

I came for a solo brunch and Hugo’s service was fabulous! He was very attentive, didn’t rush me, and everything came out perfect. I had the two eggs with bacon, fruit and toast+ a cinnamon roll added on! Everything was cooked to perfection and the cinnamon roll was one of the best I’ve ever had. I was hoping for a latte and was disappointed that I couldn’t get one until I had the cold brew. It was so tasty. I can’t wait to come back!

I had a wonderful breakfast at Good Stuff Hermosa Beach. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The banana nut muffins with The whipped butter was absolutely delicious—creamy and flavorful. The server, Hugo, was attentive and friendly, making sure I was taken care of throughout my breakfast . I highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

It was our last day in Cali and we met up with family for brunch. A smaller group of 9 total. We originally wanted to brunch at Martha’s in Hermosa Beach which is a fave spot when we’re in town. Unfortunately, brunch time is super busy and Martha’s had a 1 hour wait. My sister-in-law mentioned Good Stuff Restaurant as another option and they only had a 30 minute wait for our group of 9 people. So we shifted over there and waited patiently. We met them there and put our name on the list. They had an abundance of seating indoors and outdoors. Very spacious and great location next to Hermosa Beach and the boardwalk. Unfortunately, we ended up waiting an hour until they were able to seat us. They sat us inside and we didn’t get to sit together either. We put the kids at one table and we sat at the other table with the baby. Our server Tadeo was nice and took good care of the kids table too. My in-laws ordered guava mimosas and my husband and I opted for just coffee. We are done drinking. Haha. I ordered the “Good Stuff Style” Huevos Rancheros. It was just ok. It had good ingredients and I liked that it was a bit healthier with the shredded cabbage but this dish lacked flavor and it didn’t look anything like the website photo. I also didn’t get any avocados. I asked for hot sauce and it was fine, but hot sauce shouldn’t mask the flavor of food. Husband got Teriyaki Steak Breakfast Bowl but as soon as we saw the plate, you could tell the steak was dry and overcooked. He said it was meh. Aside from the cool ambiance and great location, Good Stuff wasn’t worth it. And definitely not worth waiting an hour. My husband also paid for brunch since it was his sister’s family and the bill was a whopping $225 for 4 adults and 4 kids. The baby doesn’t count. Granted there were a few mimosas flowing. Even so, it was pricey for everything. Sorry Good Stuff but it wasn’t that good. With a name like that, you’d think they would uphold the name!

You can’t beat having a meal next to the beach with an ocean view! Breakfast was the order of the day with an egg omelette with the Fixin’s, side of fruit and a nice warm spice muffin with butter. Folks, the pictures speak for themselves… Have a look see, don’t be jealous, go down and enjoy a nice breakfast, lunch, or dinner at good stuff in Hermosa Beach!

This was the perfect topping to our morning walk on the beach, sandwiched between a visit back to the beach to see the sea lions released (after Marine Mammal Care Center rehabilitated them). For anything you're doing on the beach, this is a great place to stop and refuel. Antonio was a splendid server. Great breakfast! Great laid-back beach atmosphere!

Plenty of parking. Right in the strand. Close to pier. Bathroom clean. Coffee tasty. Dog friendly. Dog menu. Friendly staff. Great menu!! Very California-centric. They also serve beer and wine. Now grills using ONLY coconut oil. I ordered Cris's Breakfast Salad which has always been a favorite. But, if I'm being honest - I have never eaten anything here that I did not fully enjoy. EVER! I used to come here years ago for many years! In '85 - yes

Such a cute restaurant by the beach!! It was so relaxing and the service was amazing I ordered the teriyaki steak breakfast bowl and it was so delicious. I was hungry so I wanted something filling but I didn't want breakfast. The teriyaki sauce is a bit on the sweeter side but I enjoyed it. The pineapples were a great addition and the steak was not overly cooked. I love how they give you a choice of toast or muffins. I usually never see muffins being an option so definitely had to choose that one. The blueberry muffins were super soft and moist, even more delicious when you add the butter!! The cinnamon roll at first glance looked a little disappointing and I wasn't expecting to like it or taste any cinnamon but wow was I pleasantly surprised! Super fluffy and the flavor was definitely there Also ordered a mango smoothie and that hit the spot. I am so happy I decided to stop here during my layover and it was more than worth it!!

I've lived in South Bay for so many years and had never eaten here. Might seem little unassuming and basic on the outside but the food itself GOOD, service is GOOD, view/location/vibes are GOOD. We got the chicken wrap, m&m waffle, and cinnamon french toast. The only thing not GOOD at GOOD STUFF was our sever Beto. He was GREAT!! We hope he is our server again when we come back. Thank you Beto!!

We went here for breakfast as a group of 4. They were really quick serving us! We sat outside because it was a pretty day but they also have umbrellas if the sun gets too much. I got the carnitas taco and my boyfriend got the wrap. We wouldn't say it was mind blowing, but it was good for us to be content. We did like the banana bread that they served at first - it was nice and warm!

Good stuff is one of the few breakfast spots on the strand at Hermosa Beach, so it definitely gets busy on weekends for brunch. We came on a rainy day so it less crowded than usual, which was nice. The California omelette was perfect, I will definitely be ordering it again. I appreciate that I could get pancakes as my side for my omelette! The highlight for me was that my pancakes came with real maple syrup. The portions for most plates aren't huge but they leave you satisfied. The Bloody Mary was too sweet for me and the coffee was just alright. Our server Kelly was sure to give me lots of refills and made sure we had what we needed.

We love this place, whenever we're in town we grab brunch here. It's a great spot, right next to the beach which bodes great for ocean views. The service was excellent with kind and quick staff! I got the French toast and my friends got the breakfast wrap. The toast was the perfect sweet plate paired with some savory bacon and eggs. Would've been amazing with some toast as well. More bacon and toast with the eggs would've been perfect!

I had an awesome experience at The Good Stuff on the Strand in Hermosa Beach, thanks in large part to Demetrio! From the moment I sat down, he was super attentive and genuinely friendly--one of those people who makes you feel welcomed right away. I wasn't sure what to get, but Demetrio recommended the fish tacos, and wow--he did not miss. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can tell he knows the menu well and actually cares about helping guests have a great meal. If you're stopping by The Good Stuff, definitely ask for Demetrio. He made my visit even better. Great service, great vibe, and great tacos!

Went here with my wife and it was amazing. My wife is a very picky eater and she ate everything that was on her plate. French toast, and avocado toast and some other things. Service was friendly also. Inside was very nice and feels like your by the beach.

You come for the views and vibes stay for the food and service. The food is always great. Fun twists on common staples. I've had varying levels of service here but if Beto is working he will take amazing care of you. He may be one of the best servers I've ever had and I worked in the industry for 20 years. Be back soon

Fun spot in the heart of Hermosa beach right on the beach. After riding our bikes from redondo beach to Venice we stopped here on the way back. We got there just as they were about to close, but the server was so kind and stayed open for us so we could grab a bite. Turkey wrap and chips and salsa hit the spot! Definitely will stop bye again when down on the strand in Hermosa Beach.

Beto our server was great! He took good care of our group - advised us to enjoy a bottle instead for mimosas, we'll save more. He stopped by our table to see how our food was tasting, food came out timely / it was a fun visit! We stopped by on a weekday - shorter wait time on tables. Nice outdoor seating specially on a sunny day! The Blackened Shrimp Fajita salad here is sooo delicious!

Good vibes, location, and food. Food: I've been here a few times, but I've never been disappointed with the food here. Everything's always been great, especially in relation to the price. This time, I tried the whole wheat pancakes for the 1st time and I was definitely glad that I did. It wasn't your usual whole wheat grainy, bland pancake. It was moist and somewhat fluffy and the pure maple syrup taste complimented well! Service: The service here is always a 5/10. It's ok service, but usually slow and not as friendly as other beach side restaurants. There's also usually a long wait on weekend breakfast/brunch time, so you'll end up waiting anywhere from 20min to an hour. Atmosphere: Great location, as it is right on the strand with a beach view. There's both outdoor and indoor seating (indoor seating is spacious and more quiet than the outdoor seating). Between tables are spacious so you don't feel too crowded either!! This is definitely a go-to breakfast/brunch spot for me in the area. Definitely check it out if you're in the area and looking for an American / Mexican type of food!

I just had such a wonderful experience at Good Stuff and had to share! The food was absolutely fantastic fresh, flavorful, and just the right portions. You can really taste the quality in every bite. What truly made our visit exceptional, though, was our server Hugo. He was incredibly attentive, kind, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we sat down. His energy was warm and genuine, and he had great recommendations that made our meal even better. If you're thinking about trying Good Stuff. do it! And if you get Hugo as your server, you're in for a great experience. We'll definitely be back! And the ambience is perfect being right next to the beach

Great breakfast spot with plenty of options, comfort and healthy. Sits right on the strand and feels like a surfer's shop - eat outside and enjoy the ocean or sot inside and feel like you are authentically SoCal. I met Beto my server who was kind and attentive. Wonderful service that was fast and my coffee cup was never empty. I'll be back, Good Stuff!

Been coming for years, it's a breezy old friend, Though the food's lost its edge as the visits extend. The fish tacos lack much in flavor and flair, But that IPA? Perfection right there. The beach view still hits, the patio's prime, A fine place to sit and slow down some time. Martha's wins breakfast, that's just how it is-- But Good Stuff still earns my occasional biz.

They have great tacos, the best of the best but the service is very poor somedays. I ordered fries to go and they said it would be a 10 minute wait. I had a 10 minute walk to get there and when i arrived the fries were still not ready and they only just started making them after I arrived. Used to be my favorite place but now definitely not anymore.
