I love Good Stuff. Still has the best milkshake in the area. I typically go to the one in Georgetown but we had a group in the area and was thrilled to see one in Arlington. Burgers were top notch. I still love all the condiments available. And the guys behind the counter were putting out some stellar food. Bathrooms were lacking a bit but not going to stop me from visiting. I'll always support Good Stuff Eatery. Much love. read more

Finished playing football with some friends and we decided to swing by good stuff eatery for lunch. There is a nice long table for parties that seats about 20. I'm sure multiple groups can fit. To my surprised there is a pizza spot also inside. I went to the counter to order my food and the guys were nice. I ordered the bacon farmhouse burger along with a large Cajun bayou fries. They gave me a buzzer which surprised me while I waited. About 10 minutes went buy and my food arrived. The Cajun fries were good. The Cajun spice didn't hit like I thought it would so I added some salt. It is a great size portion and they were nicely hot. The burger I received had the bread tie at the bottom of the burger. Luckily I caught it before I took a bite. I also noticed a long strand of hair as well. I was a bit disappointed. The burger was "ok" but nothing great. Overall this is a cool spot for a burger and fries. Not overly priced like some places. read more

Super convenient to the location o was visiting. The burger was good and the chicken strips are pretty good as well. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Is this the smashburger at Primrose in DC or the bacon cheeseburger at Melt in Leesburg? No but in the middle lane of burger joints you can't go wrong with Good Stuff. They do a good job with their fries and their shakes are pretty awesome. Prices are reasonable. read more

Nice burger joint! I ordered a hamburger with cajun fries and the marshmallow milkshake! The food came out hot, fast, and fresh. The fries were crispy and seasoned well. The burger didn't wow me, but I can forgive all sins with the right sauce! The dip bar was great and it kicked everything up a notch! The shake seemed to have an aftertaste, but everyone else was super pleased with it. Lots of seating is available and they can accommodate a large group. Love the atmosphere! I can't wait to go back! read more

Good burger and fries! Not a huge burger person but when I do indulge I do not want it overly greasy and Good Stuff hit the spot. I love an honest employee. Some of the reviews were negative for the chicken sandwiches, and I inquired between chicken or burger with the employee and he definitely said burgers are our thing! Noted ! I ordered exactly what he told me and loved it. Prez burger: 5/5 the onion marmalade was great. Not overly blue cheesy which I enjoyed. Bun was literally like butter. Cajun fries: well seasoned and crispy 5/5. My friend had the rosemary fries which were good but Cajun was better. Ordered the snack size which was more than enough for one. Love the dip bar with the assortment of dips! Little pricey but this is the world we live in Not too crowded for an evening bite. read more

Edu mixed reactions about this. One day the turkey burger is great and then next it's blah! Of course I will give them another chance, was it's good it's good and no one has a turkey burger in the area. read more

I was not keen on the sandwich board outside Good Stuff Eatery that incorrectly advertised the Nashville Hot sandwich as $7.65. I paid $12. I inquired about it after I ordered, and the counter guy was like, "Yeah, they changed all the prices last year." Well that's incredibly misleading. You don't get to keep luring people into your restaurant with an incorrect sandwich board, especially a price change of nearly SIXTY percent. Until that I was on board to love this place. Fried chicken sandwich on the menu? Check. Helmed by a former Top Chef? Check. Surprisingly reasonable prices? Check (though not as amazing as they first appeared). I got the aforementioned marked-up Nashville hot and it was good after I requested more bread and butter pickles. (Pickles are key to a good fried chicken sandwich.) But it wasn't the best fried chicken sandwich I've had either. Ironically that award might go to another Top Chef alum from the same season, Richard Blais, for his sandwich at Crack Shack in San Diego. The kids liked their burgers. The fries were really good - in fact they might have been the best part of the meal. But overall nothing blew me away. I probably should have tried their seasonal peach shake. We sat under a big umbrella. As we finished our meal it started to rain and then we had to run for it. read more

My class visited this place for our D.C. field trip, and the food was absolutely amazing!! The fries were fresh, and our orders (burgers, salads, etc.) were of high quality. The service was great, for we had a nice lady that explained our options and efficient cooks who had our entire class's food ready right after we ordered them; the entire staff is considerate and hard working. It was a bit loud, but that was mainly on us, haha! We, as a class, 100% recommend. read more

Great burgers at Good Stuff. Enjoyed the Good Stuff Melt and the Steakhouse. Thought the onion straws on the Steakhouse burger could have been a tiny bit saltier but the burger was otherwise great. Loved the sauce on that one. The Good Stuff Melt was fantastically cheesy. Both were well-cooked but not overdone. Amazing fries. Loved that they had a variety of dipping sauces to choose from. The showstopper, however, was the Toasted Marshmallow shake, which was to die for. Family friendly vibes and good service. read more

Glad another location of the homegrown local chain opened up in Crystal City (not another Shack Shack or Five Guys!) with good vegetarian options. I got the Snack Fry and Drink combo deal for $6.50. I wish the Cheeseburger for the $17 lunch special (comes with fries, and drink) could be substituted with the Mushroom burger. I paid $12 Mushroom burger + $6.50 combo deal. The Steak fries were pipping hot and delicious, the highlight of my meal! I love the dipping sauce station, a galore of a dozen condiments to choose from! The Chipotle sauce was my go-to. The 'Shroom Burger is pretty tasty with a fried mushroom burger stuffed with Muenster and Cheddar Cheese and topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. The flavors blended well together and surprisingly filling. It's very similar to the Mushroom Burger at Shake Shack, I honestly can't tell the difference. The Strawberry Lemonade and Passionfruit juice were refreshing and on the sweeter side. My order was ready in 5 minutes and I relished a warm, satisfying meal under $20. Will visit another location when I'm in the area (maybe at the airport or visit Cairo or Clearwater Beach sometime)! read more

Stopped in here while visiting my daughter in DC and was amazed at the fantastic burger and fries we received. Great portions, all the options I wanted and freshly cooked fries. Loved the variety drinks they had and the various dipping sauces. Very clean, friendly staff and it didn't take long to get our food. Fun vibe and look forward to going back. The ice cream treats were good too. Had to go back the next day for that! read more

I was confused when I first walked into Good Stuff Eatery because it looks JUST LIKE SHAKE SHACK. It even feels and sounds like a Shake Shack. I was really confused. Parking on the street in Crystal City was almost impossible. There is a garage nearby that charges $10, but street parking is mostly taken up or blocked by food pickup drivers waiting for orders.. I order a burger and it was a little disappointing. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it was not a limp ..meh. Not the best burger I've ever had, not a good burger, but not a bad one. It had a pretty plain taste.. it was your basic hamburger that you get at a church, picnic or company function. I will give them points on price, it's about on par with Shake Shack but the prices are a little lower here. I liked the chili cheese fries but everything comes in a large paper bag, there are no trays. The milkshake was OK. Just a vanilla milkshake, nothing special. Overall I could not figure out what made this place so special. Why does it look like a Shake Shack? How is it different? Yes, I understand that everything is super fresh and farm raised, but those terms are so diluted and used by everyone today that it doesn't really mean anything to me. This place is either a rip off of Shake Shack, or completely lost in their own identity. read more

Continuing my alphabet series into the letter G is Good Stuff Eatery representing prior to 2018. I used to go to the Crystal City Good Stuff Eatery often in the 2010's normally on a Saturday. Slightly surprised I never reviewed although I did review the Georgetown location, see my 4-stars there. There was a games Meetup that would meet at the Landing one Saturday a month. The Landing is no more as it's been redeveloped for Amazon. The majority of the times I ate at Good Stuff Eatery when I went to that games group as I knew it was great! Occasionally, I went to other places close to the Landing like an Asian place, Potbelly, etc., but nothing compared to Good Stuff. Excellent burger & fries and if I was feeling like going all out, great shakes too. I'd get a pretty basic burger as I'm not big on tons of toppings. I'd get all the dipping sauces for fries. They have more than just ketchup & mustard, neither of which I like. They have Old Bay, Chipotle, Sriracha, & more, which I'd get to dip fries in. Overall, if I'm ever back in Crystal City (or other area with a Good Stuff), I'd try to return. read more

The lady was super mean to us. We came in a large school group on a trip, and the workers treated us terribly. The hamburger was incredibly tiny, and we did not have an option to get a double. Do not come here!!!! read more

I was so disrespect when I walked worker was very rude. She cussed at me my food had a disgusting substance in it. there's bugs on the floor. The burger was cold and the middle. and it's very unsanitary. read more

Good atmosphere, great burger & fries, and my favorite thing was the excellent dipping sauce options! SOLID burger joint. 100% recommend. read more

This has slowly become a go to spot for burgers shakes and fries! I order the good stuff melt, Cajun fries and a cookie and cream shake. The burger is delicious and cooked perfectly, and comes with onions mushrooms and cheese. The fries are good too and I love all the dipping sauce options you can choose from. I usually pick chipotle and ketchup. The cookie and cream shake is delicious and always well made. It's become a good comfort food spot for sure! read more

I really enjoyed the experience here. Good burger times here in Crystal City. Invited to try this burger joint out and glad I did. The local team took my order and got it back out to me in minutes. I ordered the double cheeseburger. The patties at this place are huge, and they came out a nice medium. The burger comes with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions. I also got a snack size (small) side of fries and cherry blossom shake. The shake was delicious, the fires were hot and fresh, and the burger didn't last too long either. The place was clean. If shakes aren't your thing then you can serve yourself at the soft drink fountain. I came on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't crowded, but I bet the Crystal City folks find their way here during the lunch and early dinner sessions during the week. Parking is available on the street and at a nearby lot (parking free on weekends). read more

Kinda pricey for a burger place but the food comes out fast and was mostly decent. Small portions and the fries they give you are mostly potato skins or skinny burnt edge pieces which is disappointing. Would rather go to Five Guys. You get way more value. read more

Not what I expected, in a good way. I've heard a lot of comparisons to Five Guys, but this is truly different and the two are not comparable. The burger was thick and the special sauce wasn't too overwhelming. I was expecting the burger to be greasy, but it was very clean and easy to eat. The shake was also great - I did half vanilla and half chocolate as the base. I'm glad I tried something different! read more

Came here on a Monday before the lunch rush. The service was quick but the line behind us racked up pretty fast. Also street parking is hard to find, I recommend the garage down the street. I ordered spikes sunny side burger along with the chili. Both tasted great. Portions were pretty filling for me, in fact I could only finish half my chili after eating my burger. As for the meat I like how it tasted like home made beef patties rather then premade ones. If you like shake shack you will like this place as well. I definitely will be back to try the different menu items! read more

Stopped by to grab a milkshake after eating dinner in the area. You place your order at the front, and the front felt understaffed. The staff member was busy for a good 5 minutes before saying he could take my order. I ordered an Oreo milkshake and waited for it at their tables. The milkshake tasted good but nothing out of the ordinary from a normal milkshake. I did like the taste of the scoop of whipped cream on top. Overall, an okay place to grab a milkshake when you are craving one. read more

We had the Prez burger and the chicken tenders. The burger was incredible, smash burger style with amazing flavor. The chicken was fried to absolute perfection. Love the many sauce choices too- it was so fun trying all the different ones. Absolutely loved this place and will be back soon! - Fun Activity Task Force read more

I have no idea how this place has any good feedback. It is disgusting. And that's not just about the food. The amount of times we watched the lady doing the burgers cross contaminate is insane. I wonder how long the stack of raw meat sitting right next to the grill had been there before being cooked. Luckily, we didn't get a burger but we don't even want to know how they handle the chicken that we did get. The guy taking orders and helping with milkshakes was playing with his hair right by all of the stuff for that and he wasn't very friendly. It also took forever. All in all, this place sucks ESPECIALLY THIS LOCATION IN CRYSTAL CITY read more

It is a bit overpriced, but the food is yummy! I wish that they mixed their shakes a little better, but instead toppings are usually just around the actual shake. Service is always friendly and welcoming. There are lots of places to sit inside the restaurant. read more

Something keeps me coming back even though I give it a three star for the guilty feeling I get after eating here. The burgers, fries, and shake are all true to the name "good stuff," but they seem so unhealthy. It may be just the paper used to package the food that absorbs all the grease and makes it look so bad. Other restaurants probably avoid paper because of this fact but in a way this is a good thing because I don't eat the paper I throw it away and theres less grease on the food. I have tried the Prez Obama burger, the smokehouse burger, the shroom burger, and veggie burger. I probably would recommend the Obama one as best. read more

Food was DELICIOUS! My turkey burger was so very good and my fries were pretty legit as well. I would love to box up that avocado spread they use on the turkey burger...it was heaven. My friend had the farmhouse burger and she enjoyed her meal as well. Her thyme fries smelled amazing!! I wish I'd paid more attention to the menu because I definitely would've ordered them! I've been to the location in the airport in the early morning hours but this is my first time actually trying the burgers and I was thoroughly impressed. They're doing pretty well keeping folks safe during COVID. Dips are pre-packaged (but the person putting them in containers didn't have on gloves), they offer sanitizer, require customers to wear masks upon entry and provide some outdoor seating. I probably won't be in the store too much but I'll definitely add this to my Uber eats rotation. read more

Great location right in Crystal City on a strip surrounded by other great restaurants. Fast and casual burger place to get lunch/dinner, but honestly nothing too special. Extremely friendly service and a lot of options on the menu. Opted to try the simple farmhouse burger with cheese and bacon. Their signature sauce was good but the burger was very average. It was just a 1/3 single patty burger, came out a bit greasy and overcooked (asked for medium) but did not taste bad. Middle of the road spot, the price is very affordable so might be worth another visit if I am in the area. Parking to the north is free after 4pm in the main garage and is probably the best option!! read more

I really wanted to like this place! Unfortunately, I just was not very impressed. The menu was a bit overwhelming and confusing. The customer service wasn't great even after I let them know it was my first time there and I was confused by the menu. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and not only was it a tiny burger, it was very bland and sloppily put together. My fries weren't hot when they came out either. I did also order a keylime pie shake and that was really really good! I'd go back just to try the different shakes, but the food was mediocre. read more

Came here on two separate occasions. I have to say it's pretty good stuff! On my first visit, I asked for recommendations and was given a very detailed overview of some of the top selling items. I ended up settling on the Prez Obama Burger ($9) - consisting of applewood bacon, onion marmalade, roquefort cheese, and horseradish mayo. Burger was sweet as advertised due to the marmalade, but then you get that taste of blue cheese, which worked out pretty well. Bit messy to eat so have some napkins ready. I also got an order of regular hand cut fries ($4), which goes well with the burger. On the second visit, I ended up trying their biggest burger they offered: Big Stuff Bacon Meltdown ($11). This consisted of double patty, lots'a bacon, double cheese, ruby tomato, onions, lettuce, and pickle with "good stuff sauce". This was a lot more messier to consume, due to its size. Although it was very filling, I liked the Prez Obama Burger a lot better due to its taste. I also got a Salty Caramel Kiss Shake ($6), which was superb. Overall, this is a pretty solid spot to get burger, fries, and shakes in the area. Looking forward to trying the other burgers on their menu. Also good to note, they charge a 5% restaurant recovery fee. read more
