Man they are rude as hell in here. Stay away if possible. They are lazy, they complain, very unprofessional. When you call the employees out on their mistakes they get upset. If they don't like the job then go find another one. The VA location is better read more

This spot is great! The shakes are worth the stop in themselves, they are made perfectly with a 'healthy' amount of iced cream. The burgers and fries were all cooked perfectly and great combinations of flavors. They have plenty of outside seating to enjoy the city and stay socially distanced!! read more

Good Stuff Eatery - Burgers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

My Partner In Munch and I went here for hangover cure and got it ! Great food.... Obama Burger : The sauteed onions gave this burger a sweet taste, lettuce and tomato were fresh, the cheese provided enough salt. The only downfall, the potato bun could not contain all the deliciousness of the burger..... Hand cut Fries: We love fries, a tad greasy but still enjoyable. All the dipping sauces provided take you quite a few flavor destinations..... Hand spun Milkshake: Vanilla, too thick for the straw. Now THAT is a milkshake ..... We respectfully accept another invite ! read more

I'm honestly really surprised by the reviews. I go here at least once a month, I was actually here last night. You have to rate it for what it is, a burger place. They aren't trying to be artisan burgers. The burgers here are always juicy, the secret sauce is delicious. They locally source what they can and use organic milk in their shakes. The milkshakes are the best, you can't find a better one in the D.C. area (I've tried many). The buns on the burger aren't super plush, but I prefer that. It's a messy burger, but to me that's how a burger should be. I usually get the farmhouse cheese for reference. The fries are maybe my favorite thing here (highly recommend dipping in their chipotle mayo). They're so delicious, I'm not sure what it is, plus they're all hand-cut. You can watch them make everything in front of you, which is great. And everything is super consistent every visit. Next time I'll go I'll snap photos to add. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

It was right around the corner from our hotel and it really hit the spot. The shop was quite busy even after lunch on a weekday. The line moved fast and everything was made fresh to order. They have a fun selection of sauces and we tried them all. There isn't much room downstairs, but plenty upstairs as well as on the patio out front. They were very easy-going with substitutions and custom orders. They had a ton of milkshakes to choose from as well. We didn't really know the Top Chef connection and it didn't impress us or turn us off. It was a non-factor. The burgers were liked and my hot chicken sandwich was delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. They have some seriously eclectic taste in decorations and apparently the Obamas liked this place. We thought it was a decent stop. read more

The food is always superb. Turkey burgers and chicken for those not in love with the classics. Even better than the food is the service. We have had a few hiccups with deliveries and each time the good stuff eatery on capital hill has done everything to make it right. They were the hero's making sure the milkshakes were just right on my son's birthday. If you are in the mood for a great burger and want a great team to make sure it's just how you like it- go to Good Stuff. read more

Probably the worst burger I have ever had. The bun tasted stale. The crispy onions and sauce were bad. The burger was so overcooked that it was inedible. $16 for something that had to be thrown away, read more

good food and the food was ready pretty quickly. i liked how the seating was upstairs

The best part about eating at Good Stuff is the sauces/different types of mayo, honestly. I love the variety from the mango to the chipotle to the Old Bay! I have only ever ordered the Michelle Obama melt which is a turkey burger and cheese. Each time I get the onion petals which are usually pretty good and taste even better with the dipping sauces. Some pieces can be a little undercooked and doughy, though, which is kind of gross because they get soggy. Something I like about this place is that you can "shun the bun" AKA order the burger without the bread, which is perfect for low carb diets. Decent choice for a quick lunch, but nothing I have had is so incredible it'll knock your socks off. Definitely try the sauces though! read more

Staff wasn't very pleasant. People cooking behind the counter would touch their hair or face and continue cooking without washing hands and the Lobby tables and chairs were dingy. The fries came out super greasy and mushy and the hamburger was pink. Would not go back. read more

Good Stuff Eatery - Fries example. - Burgers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I gave them a couple star for their food (it's usually tasty). But I ordered via Uber Eats for my family of 3 (husband, 3 y/o granddaughter and myself) and that was a huge mistake! I literally paid $65 (includes tip) for 3 soggy burgers with soggy fries and a vanilla milkshake for my family of 3 to share. Thanks to the Uber driver, my shake held up pretty well. I'm not oblivious to the fact that burgers and fries don't really travel well however, I have really good methods to reheating some fast foods for taste. However, I can't do anything with soggy bread and over used condiments! I can at least re-crisp my fries in the air fryer. I also really love the dips they offer for their fries or whatever you want to use them for, but they NEVERRRRRR follow the instructions to include them in my order. At minimum they can somehow communicate whether they are available or not (eye-rolling)! They didn't even pack the food well. I'm all for sustainable packaging but don't have my fries all exposed to get all cold and for quick snacking by a hungry Uber driver. For $65 I could have taken my family out for restaurant quality burgers that included drinks and dessert for that amount of money! read more

Food = 5 happy messy stars... such great burgers and shakes! Atmosphere = 5 stars... cute Americana/capital hill vibe. Service = 3 stars... i'm not sure what was up with the server/cashier but she could not not want to be somewhere more than when customers were ordering, all the way down to leaning on the register with her hand on her mouth and monotone indifferent responses...it was almost comical except she was getting paid. Not sure we'd be running back to visit here with so many other happy customer service options near by. read more

I used to like this place. Just ate there a few days ago and will never go again. I take apart my burgers in order to eat less of the bun. The burger was so tiny it was ridiculous. I feel like someone made a mistake and just put some burger crumbles in it. It was loaded with sauces and junk I didn't request and had very little of what I did request. It was so salty I could barely get it down. Will be drinking water for days to compensate. And this very low quality burger, along with a salad and fries was almost $40. NEVER again. Will go hungry before I ever eat at this place. read more

Horrible service. Multiple visible health code violations. Messy milkshake station. Overflowing garbage cans. Disgusting tables that haven't been wiped down. Dip dispensers are out of sauce. There is barely anyone in here and the staff appear to be moving at a snails pace. read more

Was so excited to try this place as my fiancé got my brother and I REAL hyped up on how good this place was. Needless to say, maybe our expectations were too high, even his. First, we ordered our burgers. I asked for the fried green tomato veg but made it clear I wanted a real burger on it just those toppings. My fiancé and brother tried two of their other burger options. We all got fries and a shake too. The good: my Fourth of July themed shake was delicious. Vanilla with blueberry and raspberry swirls were AWESOME! I really enjoyed it. All of their different dipping sauces for their fries are also awesome! I loved the mango sauce and the Sriracha mayo sauce. They were amazing. The bad: basically everything else. They didn't give me a burger with what I ordered, just a friend green tomato and they didn't fix it. So my fiancé ended up giving me a few bites of his burger but we were pretty upset with this. The burger itself That I did try was OK but kind of greasy. The fries were so oily. They were good, but only if you stopped at eating a few. So basically my lunch was a milkshake with a few bites of my fiancés burger and a couple fries. For the price we paid for three people this should've gone a lot differently and been way better. I genuinely am not sure I'd return here next time I'm in DC. read more

This was one of my favorite places to grab a burger when I worked in DC! At that time they had the infamous Obama burger and I got it religiously! Fries were great drinks were ok! The burgers stole the show! read more

There are a few things I liked about this place and some I think they could work on. Of course it's famous for being so close to the White House so presidents come visit. Burger is actually pretty good. Lemon meringue shake is tasty as if you are eating the pie. Fries, however, is soggy and over seasoned. They should work on service as well. They whole point of having a beeper is that customer knows when the food is ready to be picked up at the counter. The beeper beeped and I still waited at the counter for the rest of the order to get ready. There was a guy standing at the pick up counter, every time someone asked him a question, he grabbed another person behind the cash register to answer. If he was new, maybe he needs better training. read more

Great and Amazing quality meat and fries. Got the steak burger, was outstanding In flavor and texture. But the portion size man ! Really ??! I'm a short guy and for $15 a meal I was left still hungry!, It shouldn't be like that! It's not fair! I don't compromise flavor for value. And the value wasn't there ! Makes me want to go back to the 5 guy brand! read more

Chef Spike is killing it. This is my favorite place to grab a quick burger and fries meal in DC. They've removed my favorite, the chili cheese burger, from the menu since I last lived in DC, but the sunrise burger with bacon and egg does not fail to satisfy! I'm also happy to see the Obama burger has stuck around, hopefully for years to come. I might try it one day, although the horseradish mayo does not seem like my cup of tea. Don't forget to pair your village fries with some delicious Old Bay!! read more

I used to love this place so much. But these days, there's barely any cheese and caramelised onion in the prez Obama burger, which used to be deliciously sloppy and is now a bit dry. Today, they gave me plain instead of village fries. One member of staff was wearing her mask below her nose, and the one who served me had it around his chin. It didn't make me feel very safe, but you're not going to complain when people are handling your food, so what to do? Please, please enforce mask wearing. I wear it all shift in my own consumer facing job. I know what it's like. I know it's possible. read more

Plan and simple is what describes this place the best (like this review). You order your food from a cashier with an attitude, grab your buzzer and walk upstairs to wait for your burger and fries. The burgers were greasier than I expected and the fries lack any crispness. If you seek a greasy burger at a fair price, go to Good Stuff Eatery. read more

being close to the hotel and in the mood for a burger I decided to give this place a shot. I ordered the village fries and all I could saw was disguisting. they were so over seasoned that I had to scrap seasoning off dip them in sauce to cut the flavor, ordered a large and615ish only ended up eating a few. I got a chicken sandwich which was juicy and had a nice flavor, the sauce tbey out on it was good as well. 30 minutes later I'm still trying to get thru my shake, the lady making the shakes was a beast and had skills!!! very think and creamy shake, I would recommend those anytime read more

This place should really be called greasy stuff. The food is okay but the burgers are ultra greasy regardless of your topping selection and the fries are even greasier than the burgers. This place is okay and the shakes are really tasty but overall it's a decent option for a quick meal but nothing special. Oh and if you hate mayo the way I do then skip their mayo-based good stuff sauce read more

Have noticed two changes lately: they have been doing more big planned meals for the tour bus crowds and they changed the name of the President Obama Burger to The Prez. If the former led to the latter, that would be disappointing. Food still good but burgers seem smaller. My kids love the shakes. read more

I can't believe that I have never done a review for Good Stuff. This has been my go to burger place since they opened. I always get the Farmhouse with bacon. I am a picky eater and usually do not go for all the toppings on most things but this... OMG it is just perfect. I love every single bite. The fries are great. Sprinkled with sea salt and tossed with rosemary. The shakes... SPIKE KNOWS SHAKES. Instead of ice cream they use Frozen Custard. HONEY when I tell you. I don't even like vanilla shakes and I normally do not like marshmallow flavored anything. But when I tell you their Toasted Marshmallow Shake is everything. It is EVERYTHING. The Salted Caramel. Let us pause for the glory that is this delicious treat. I prefer this location. I feel like it is better than the rest but maybe that is my imagination. When they opened I said I would never go to Five Guys again #shrugs. It's greasy, fattening, well seasoned, deliciousness. Just as burger should be. Oh and my Vegetarian Bestie loves their Mushroom Burger. Parking is not difficult if you have a Zone 6 sticker.. It is walkable from Capitol South and Eastern Market Metro stations. Street parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. Steps away from the Capitol. The price range is about double what you would pay for a large value meal at Mcdonalds so be ye ready. Enjoy!!! read more

We had the prez burger with fries and salty caramel kiss shake. Food was delicious. Customer service was friendly but chaotic. It's a neat place for lunch but be prepared for tight quarters. Try all of the sauces they have available: mango, chipotle, bays, and siracha. read more

So, as part of my training regimine for my pending milkshake challenge, I've been trying to drink a couple of shakes a week to keep dairy in my system. Do you know what happens when a lactose intolerant person doesn't have dairy for awhile and all of a sudden decides to try something with milk or cheese? Let's just say that it's a chemistry experiment gone terribly wrong. In any event, on this day I decided to venture to Good Stuff to try their variation of a Salted Caramel shake. Salted caramel is a flavor that has become the rage of late with it being sold as milkshakes, candy, coffee, etc. Made properly, it can be quite addicting because there's something about tasting sweetness and saltiness that really makes the mouth sing. Ordered it, tried it and........FAIL! The shake was decent......if it was labeled as a vanilla shake. That was the dominant flavor with faint hints of caramel. Where's the salt?? At Good Stuff, this shake is called the "Salty Caramel Kiss". Well, if that's how she kisses then this relationship is definitely OVER. I like my shakes like I like my kisses- full of mouth watering action. Unfortunately, Good Stuff's preference for being prudish towards kissing doesn't work towards the bottom line. My milkshake journey contnues....... read more

Spike Mendelsohn is an asshole. There I said it. If you haven't heard the news, here it is!! So let me lay out my visit for you. I'm with a bunch of friends. They all want to eat here at this small burger joint with a line running out the door. I had no idea where we were going until I got inside and saw pictures of Top Chef all over the walls. "OH!!! SPIKES RESTAURANT!" As a huge Top Chef fan, I was super excited. Also knowing that I was vegan, I didn't expect any options, but wanted to at least check the menu out and let my friends enjoy the visit. Reading through the menu, it definitely is different..and definitely overpriced. There is one vegetarian option, called the "Vegetarians are people, too!" Cute. It's a portabello mushroom burger filled with a parmesan cheese filling. Ugh. Definitely not vegan friendly or healthy in any sense. Oh well, I could always get some fries! So we slowly snake around the line, finally it's my turn, I order the herb topped fries, and load and behold, guess who I see? SPIKE! So, seeing as he's the big man--the BOSS, I go "Hey Spike, so I'm actually a vegan, is there a possibility that any of your entrees can be made vegan?" He stares at me, without blinking or even the slightest hint of a smile or frown. He gives out a deafening "NO." That's it. No "I'm sorry, but we don't have anything" or "Not at this time, could you maybe try our fries or plain salad?" OR ANYTHING! He flat out tells me 'No,' then stares at me silently (for at least 5 seconds) as I awkwardly try to think of a response...super embarrassed and feeling really red, I tell him "You know, there's a large population of vegans in the DC district. Maybe you should think about making something as an option!" Same response, cold, long stare and making me feel like a fool. I turn around and walk away. As I look back, he's still staring at me. Apparently, "vegetarians are people, too," but vegans must be a thing reserved for the freak show, because that's how he treated me. I pick up my soda and fries (which they got wrong...boy getting an order of fries wrong? I wonder how such a thing could happen at an establishment like this!), and Spike was the one who was handing it to me. Same thing. Cold, soul-less stare. No "Thank you for coming!" or "Have a nice day!" or a slight smile, or anything! It's like he's not human. The fries are cut to 1-inch long soggy bits of potatos. Not even french fries. It's like a mix between fries and mashed potatoes. Way too oily. The entire restaurant is dirty and unsanitary. Their cooking station is dripping grease off the sides of the walls and down the counters seemingly like it's rarely cleaned. A fellow co-workers got sick after eating there. We still don't know if it was from the burgers here or not, but she e-mailed them about the incident, and they basically told her--Sorry that happened to you, but because you're the only person who told us they got sick, it must not have been us!!! Talk about not taking accountability into your food and quality, and not even taking any effort to make sure your food meets minimal standards. Avoid at all cost. read more

2.5 stars for a cute little burger place that packs on a little too much grease. I stopped by the Capital Hill Good Stuff Eatery, located on Penn Ave about a block or so from the Capitol, to grab a quick bite to eat before catching a performance over at the Library of Congress. As I walked inside, I noticed that the outside patio was packed while the inside was almost completely empty (talk about enjoying a nice day). The interior is 2 levels with plenty of seating and televisions to go with a pleasant interior design. I walked up to the counter and put in an order for the bacon cheeseburger along with the fries and a "mini-moo," which is a slightly smaller version of their milkshake. I paid the $15 bill (not crazy for a gourmet burger place, but the price did build up my expectations) and was handed my buzzer to go wait for my food. I got my food about 10 minutes later and headed out on my way. Once I finished my 5 minutes walk back over to the Library of Congress, I sat down at a bench and opened my bag. What I found was some of the greasiest burger and fries I've ever seen. I read other reviews talking about the grease, but the fries were soggy to the point of basically being inedible. The burger was alright due to its size and toppings despite the grease (note: very good bacon), but it wasn't really worth the price. My mini-moo was pretty tasty (I got the flavor of the month coffee version), but the straw they pointed me to get for the drink wasn't big enough, so sucking out the shake was a challenge (I'm guessing they have shake straws that I missed?). While components of this meal were ok (to the point that I might give them a second chance at the Georgetown location), I was fairly frustrated and disappointed by the meal. Overall, the Capital Hill Good Stuff Eatery provides a nice little burger joint with a pleasant atmosphere to get a bite. However, the mountain of grease on the food and plethora of burger options in the DC area will probably cause me to look elsewhere for a burger in the future. read more

This place popped up as I was searching for places to eat for my weekend trip in DC. There's no denying the cheesiness of having a Prez Obama Burger and Michelle Melt on the menu... But those were exactly what my friend and I ordered lol. We also ordered Spike's Village fries and a toasted marshmallow milkshake to share. The smell of the food cooking in here was pretty strong, so thankfully it was a beautiful warm day out so my friend and I sat outside to eat. I must say that when we got our food, I was a bit skeptical about whether we would enjoy the meal. I appreciated that the burgers were just the right size for us, but they almost looked like they had been sitting in the wrapper for too long. The fries also looked a little limp and the grease was soaking through the paper bag. Safe to say, this was a case of "never judge a book by its cover". We both really enjoyed the Prez Obama Burger - the sweetness of the onion marmalade paired together with the roquefort cheese, beef and applewood bacon made for a sublime flavor. The Michelle Melt (essentially a turkey burger with caramelized onion, swiss cheese, ruby tomato & lettuce on a wheat bun with south lawn herb garden mayo) was good, especially for days where you feel like having something a little lighter, but personally, I thought that the Prez Obama Burger outshined it. The fries aren't crispy on the outside (which is how I usually enjoy my fries), but the combination of fresh thyme, rosemary and sea salt was delicious. There's also 6 different type of sauces that you can get from the counter - ketchup, mustard, chipotle, mango, Old Bay and sriracha mayo. I enjoyed them all hah! Milkshakes aren't something I usually drink because I find them too sweet, but my friend ordered it to try as it was highly recommended by her co-workers. Alas (and unsurprisingly), it was too sweet for me. A small sip was good though :) Would recommend Good Stuff Eatery if you're exploring nearby and want to get away from the usual tourist haunts! read more

Hopelessly mediocre and grossly overpriced, my experience at Good Stuff was nothing of the sort. After a wonderful day in the DC-area, my buddies and I were in need of a good meal. So... good stuff, right? Right? Wrong. I haven't watched Top Chef since the second season. I don't know who Spike is and why I should be excited to be eating at his restaurant. Name can only take you so far. What you put on the plate is paramount. Not being a beef eater, I ordered the Free Range Turkey Burger. I asked the young lady at the counter if the burger came with any mayonaisse-y sauce. She replied that it did. I asked to get the burger without said mayo-sauce. I also ordered some onion petals and a bottle soda. I waited waited and waited and finally received my food. I went upstairs to join my buddies, sat down, bit into the sandwich and..."hmm, that's odd. It tastes really bland. Let me take another bite. Hmm." I opened it up and this is what i saw: a small patty with a piece of lettuce. No tomato. No 'chunky avocado.' No muenster cheese. I paid $6.89 plus tax for this. oh. H#ll. NO! I went back downstairs to the counter, holding my janky-ass 'burger' and asked for a manager. When one ambled over, I asked what the ingredients of the Free Range Turkey Burger were. He recited them. I opened my bun. He looked down, made a face and asked if i wanted another burger. Fully realizing that my new burger would likely come with 'extra ingredients', I said yes. I was hungry. And annoyed. I also asked about the mayo-sauce. 'No, there is no mayo-sauce on the burger' was the reply. An.noyed. So, I waited waited and waited and received a new burger. By this time, my friends are long done with their meal and ready to leave. I have yet to eat. Yes, I am pissed off. Inspecting the burger before chowing down, I noticed a small patty (lost in the bun), a piece of lettuce, a small slice of tomato, melted cheese and a dab of 'chunky avocado.' Are you kidding me? For $7, this is not good stuff. DC, expect better. Really. read more

Nothing Good about having your missed-up delivery blamed on the delivery service, then driving to the store for pickup and your order is still screwed up. They think giving you a refund after you waited an hour for delivery and then spent time and gas getting to their location for the delivery order makes up for it. I could have ordered from a business that cates about customers or cooked the food my self. Thank you Good Stuff Eatery. I feel bad for what you put me through. Have a great life. read more

Not my favorite burger. I had the Coletti's Smokehouse (sharp Vermont cheddar, applewood bacon, fried Vidalia onions and BBQ sauce). Sounds like it would be great since they are throwing out the fancy words like Vermont sharp and fried Vidalias right? Wrong. It was a Western Bacon Cheeseburger from Carl's Jr. And sadly I would have enjoyed a Carl's Jr. WBC more than this fancy worded one. The meat was well done. And crumbly. It just crumbled off with every bite. It had no seasoning whatsoever so thank goodness, not really, that they slopped on a ton of BBQ sauce. Couldn't tell anything special with the cheese and the fried Vidalias were a complete disaster. Spike should just revamp the joint and call it Spikes Shake Shack as the Toasted Marshmallow and D-Lechable Leche (vanilla based with caramel and coffee grounds) were the best part of the meal. read more

Are you fucking kidding me? Pardon my French, but this burger was goddamn delicious. I had an upcoming trip to DC (I'm from the West Coast) and saw this place mentioned on a blog for their toasted marshmallow milkshake. Right away I knew I was going to need to go there. A group of us went on a Saturday evening and it was busy, but not slow. We all ordered burgers, fries, and shakes - obviously. Our food probably took only 15 minutes and was so delicious. We all raved about the burgers on our walk home and we've still been discussing them today - that was two weeks ago. That toasted marshmallow milkshake did NOT disappoint and I wish I knew where I could find one in Oregon. I also really love that they use local, sustainable products. That's a huge selling feature in restaurants for me. read more
