Good Stuff Eatery

Overview: Good Stuff Eatery is a fast food burger joint in DC right across from the capitol. Good Stuff Eatery's mission statement is: "Herein, where good people make good stuff, stands a restaurant committed to freshness, fellowship and friendliness significant to Washington DC and surrounding areas: GOOD STUFF EATERY. This, ladies and gentlemen, is more than a simple hamburger joint. It is a rallying cry. It is a whoop. A holler. A hail. And a salaam. Good Stuff is an aspirational articulation, an inspirational idiom and, quite frankly, the best way for the greater good of Washington DC and surrounding areas to enjoy handmade burgers, hand-cut fries and hand spun ice cream that will make you come back again and again and again. We hope you're hungry."


Medium Dead: This is awfully idealistic for a greasy burger joint, but the food is good. Good Stuff Eatery is similar to Uburger in Boston. Everything is fresh, local and hand made. The menus aren't much different either they each serve burgers, fries, and shakes. Good Stuff takes the trophy because they have beer on tap. The Melt burger was a greasy mess of cheeses and meat on a soft white bread roll. This is the perfect medicine after a night of heavy drinking - the grease really soaks up the left over booze. Unfortunately, the presentation wasn't great and the burger looked like someone sat on it just before serving. On the side I ordered the Village Fries which were seasoned with fresh thyme, cracked pepper, and so much rosemary it was like eating a deep fried Christmas tree. The hand spun milkshakes are the star of the show but should not be consumed alone. Four of us split the toasted marshmallow milkshake, which is ridiculously thick and topped with toasted marshmallows.


The Verdict: Good Stuff Eatery is a great albeit greasy fast food burger with an ego fitting of Washington DC.
