My brother in law suggested this place for breakfast. I'm hardly in this area so really excited to go to a brunch place. We were a party of 4. The place is not big and was pretty busy. We had to wait about 15 mins. Aside from the inside, there is also patio seating. We ordered the energy bowl, steel cut oats, fruit cup, two egg breakfast with chicken links and a side of hash brown and Mexican protein. All four of us enjoyed and were satisfied with our orders. Our food came out in a timely manner. Wish there was one of these in my area. The staff are quick on their feet and definitely know how to handle their customers/ crowd. There is parking structure located next door to the restaurant. Great place to have brunch! read more

History

Established in 1979.

Good Stuff Restaurants's history began with Cris Bennett, who worked as a busboy and had big dreams. In 1979, Cris' dreams became real. He and his father started the first Good Stuff restaurant: a little burger place in West L.A. It was a hit, everybody loved to eat at Good Stuff. Soon he expanded to Hermosa Beach, making his second success. Time passed, and the cities of Redondo Beach, El Segundo, and Palos Verdes were all given a Good Stuff establishment. While each of the Good Stuff locations are different, they have the same core values of great service, tasty food, and healthy options. Our theme is consistent: we offer Good Stuff. You are what you eat, so eat Good Stuff®.

Meet the Business Owner: Cris B.

Cris Bennett pursued his passion for hospitality at the University of Denver, earning a business degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management. Driven by his childhood dream of owning a restaurant, he turned that vision into reality—now proudly operating four thriving locations. For over 45 years, Cris has built Good Stuff Restaurants into a South Bay institution, known for delicious food, warm hospitality, and a commitment to health-conscious dining. With deep roots in the community, Good Stuff continues to flourish, serving loyal guests and welcoming new generations to the table.

Make sure not to miss the meatballs for an appetizer. They were probably the best dish of the night. That said, you can't really go wrong with anything you order. I only really had two very minor complaints. Their pasta was a little more al dente than I tend to go for, but that didn't ruin the dishes by any means. The other thing was that the mocktails didn't come with anything to stir them with. Even a straw would have been helpful.

I do want to recognize that the staff did a great job attending to us throughout the evening. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the food quality. I ordered the Angus Ribeye and specifically requested it medium-rare. With a cut like a ribeye, I believe proper temperature and a well-executed sear are essential to bringing out the tenderness and flavor of the meat. Unfortunately, the steak arrived closer to medium-well. As a result, it was noticeably drier than expected, which took away from the delicate flavors and overall experience I had hoped for. The cocktails, however, were excellent and met my expectations, so I have no complaints there. My fiancée ordered the Siciliana pizza, but unfortunately, the center was undercooked. We brought this to our server's attention, but there was no follow-up afterward to address the issue. That was particularly disappointing given the quality and reputation I would expect from a restaurant that is recognized from Michelin.

Following a red-eye flight to Los Angeles, I recently visited Good Stuff Restaurant in El Segundo. The restaurant is situated at the corner of Grand and Richmond. I opted for the California omelette. Made with cage-free eggs, it featured a perfect blend of applewood smoked bacon, creamy avocado, earthy mushrooms, and melted jack cheese. The omelette was served with crispy hashbrowns and two delicious strawberry and Oreo muffins. Served warm, the strawberry and Oreo combination created a perfect balance of sweetness. The muffin exterior had a slight crispness, giving way to a moist and tender interior. The breakfast menu offers a diverse range, from classic eggs benedict to the tempting cinnamon roll french toast. For health-conscious diners, they have options like the vegan tofu scramble and beach body omelette. The loco moco, a Hawaii island favorite, was also a delightful surprise. The anytime lunch or dinner menu is equally impressive, covering everything from street tacos to burgers and more. The restaurant boasts a clean, casual, and bright atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. The service was fast, friendly, and the portions were generous. I lucked out with street parking, but there's also a convenient lot adjacent to the restaurant. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Good Stuff is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back on my next trip to the area! read more

I dont live in El Segundo but I happen to be here. We walked in and the hostess greeted us with a smile but was direct. She told us it would be a 15 minute wait. Really it only 10 minutes. They left us with coffee and water. When we were called in, we were seated in a booth. Very quickly our waitress, Tessa greeted us. She asked what we wanted to drink. I just wanted water but my sister's wanted Apple juice. My mom got a bloody Mary, she said it was okay, not great. My sisters also got those kids coloring pages. Then we ordered. I got the traditional burger with brioche, chedder chese, and onions; no tomatoes. We also got the special 3(chilaquiles), the carne asada breakfast, the Mac and cheese, and the french toast. The burger was good but not great; it was well done but I didn't request it to my liking. She didn't ask. The waitress came with a plate of chilli burritos instead of the chilaquiles. Tessa said she heard chilli burrito instead of chilaquiles. It's okay though because the chilaquiles came soon after. My mom said they were good. Also the carne asada was seasoned well. My sister got the Mac and cheese, she said it was fine. My other sister got the French toast. She said it was good. Overall the was.... good stuff (haha) I guess but a bit pricey. read more

If i could give 0 stars i would. Wait staff was terribly rude. Several walked past without acknowledging us. When i had to get up to ask for just a glass of water, the (i don't even know if "wait staff" is the correct term since no one actually seemed to be doing anything on task but talking with each other) I'll just call them the "people wearing black shirts with a blue text" or "pwbswabt" for short, anyway the pwbswabt still did not a thing to even pretend to get water or any type of food. I spoke with the manager who had nothing but vague excuses and everyone knows that excuses are just tools of the incompetent that build monuments of nothingness. Save an hour out of your day and skip this place. So easy to get food in LA and actually get food and not just a view of pwbswabt socializing with their older male customers for a tip. The ladies at Sam's Hofbrau are actually more dignified in their pursuit of the tip. Hope this saves someone the pain of having to lose their morning and not even getting a glass of water. read more

My husband and I have enjoyed Good Stuff for years in all of their locations! Today we dined in El Segundo. First off free parking! That's nice especially for a beach community. Next was the friendly and accommodating service. Right when you walk in the door you feel welcomed. This feeling continues thru the dining experience. The restaurant really feels like it is part of the community. Staff seemed to know just about everyone dining there. My husband tried the Buffalo and Quinoa and absolutely loved it. It was very unique and different, I tried a bite and it was amazing! I had the Bo's Salad with chicken, almonds and dates! Yummy and light. Perfect combination of flavors. We will be back! read more

My girl and I like coming here on Sundays for brunch. The service is always great, and the staff is extremely friendly and attentive every time we come in. The food is consistently good, the portions are solid, and the prices are very reasonable compared to a lot of places nearby. I usually come here for breakfast, but their lunch options are really good too. It's one of those reliable local spots you can casually come to whether you're grabbing a quick bite before work or sitting down to relax for a bit. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the El Segundo/South Bay area. read more

Our server Gus was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, they were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. He checked in at just the right times, made great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. It's rare to find service that makes the whole dining experience even better, but they definitely did. Thank you for the outstanding hospitality.. we'll definitely be back! read more

Is this place a joke? Egg substitute- fake butter that doesn't melt- thin raw bacon. And horrible pick up service. They only place order when you walk in to pick it up. They leave you standing in the middle of the restaurant like a idiot for :20. I HATE THIS PLACE because they are LOWEST quality. and ps- 28$ for 2 eggs bacon toast and breakfast burrito. Good luck. read more

I love breakfast and Good Stuff serves it all day long, which is one of the top reasons I'm a fan. If you are with friends who want something other then breakfast well... They have tons of other food options too (including gluten-free and vegetarian). The staff is super friendly and very attentive. Let Good Stuff serve you and you will not be disappointed. read more

We went here for breakfast after our walk along the beach on a Saturday morning. The weather was…read moreperfect and opted to sit outside and enjoy the ocean breeze. We shared an omelette (substituted ham with grilled chicken) + pancakes...it was pretty good. The pancakes were served with a generous amount of melted butter which made it even better. Of course we ordered coffee, 1 hot and 1 iced, and the brew was strong just the way I like it. Overall, cute breakfast spot that seems pretty popular with the locals. Happy eating!

We stopped by for a late breakfast on a Sunday. It was moderately busy, but the place was pretty…read morespacious with lots of chairs/tables/booths available. We ordered 2 coffee, classic eggs benedict with hashbrowns, and the porkchop with eggs with hashbrowns and a side of buttermilk pancakes. We saw everyone else's food being brought out to their tables, and it all looked pretty good (especially the omelets). Our food took a little longer to arrive, and people who ordered after us received their food first, but it wasn't a big deal. The coffee was watery, and no amount of sugar or creamer could help it. And to think it was $5.49. We finally got our food, and unfortunately, it was not good. The Eggs Benedict ($17.99) was the first disappointment. I took a bite and immediately tasted something sour when I started chewing it. At first I thought it was just the ham, but I'm not entirely sure, since it was covered in hollandaise sauce. It also lacked flavor overall. The only thing I liked was the poached eggs. The pork chop with eggs ($18.99) was extremely dry, difficult to chew, and very bland. It didn't seem seasoned at all. We ordered a side of gravy to help, but I didn't realize it cost an extra $3. I wouldn't have ordered it had I known, especially since it didn't improve the taste or texture of the pork chop. The pancakes were oddly eggy and didn't taste like pancakes at all. As for the hash browns, I didn't realize hash browns could taste bad, but these were mushy and almost slimy. Half of them were heavily seasoned, while the other half was bland. Even the ketchup didn't help because it only made them mushier. Overall, the server was nice, but I wouldn't come back here for the food.

The atmosphere is sort of upscale cafeteria, and it's definitely great to sit on the patio on warm day. And many of the food items are very tasty, especially the breakfast/brunch items. The place they falter is a desire to add creative ingredients to places they don't need to be. The turkey burger is good, but has rosemary in it--not sure it's a great flavor profile. The tuna salad has another herb (tarragon?) that throws the flavor off. The chicken salad sandwich has picked carrots and jalapeños, which would be fine on the side, but annoying inside the sandwich. The grilled chicken they use on salads is covered in bland red sauce, makes salads unappealing. And the biggest creative debacle: The so-called caesar salad has spinach, carrots, corn, tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, and avocado, all in a balsamic vinaigrette. Even if you like it, THAT'S NOT A CAESAR SALAD. Sometimes chefs can't help themselves from gilding the lily.

It was a bit confusing to find on the map, especially if you're not familiar with the gym. Arriving here, it was pretty busy, but thankfully, there was ample space throughout. The menu had a decent amount of options I was interested in, but I had to have the 2x2x2 as it was the one good thing I remember about my last visit. The employees were pretty nice and around to help us if we needed anything, which I appreciated. The food was good, especially the pancakes, which I find to be a really solid pancake in LA, and it was a bit of a better experience than the first time.
