Politely, of course, possums, this being The Washington Post and all. Still, the Post’s review has some cherce bits. While praising the bacon (presumably not Spike’s doing) and the strawberry milkshake, the reviewer singled out the “tough” burgers, the fries that were not crispy “despite having been fried twice,” and the onion rings described as “lumps of mushed-together fried onions that resembled a run-over baby octopus.” WaPo definitely brought the meow, and then some.
The review also mentions that the restaurant’s décor includes “oversize photos of the fedora-wearing Spike.” We don’t know about you, possums, but that would definitely put us off our feed.

I've eaten here twice. The Post is right about the fries. My burgers were cooked perfectly both times (medium - pink center). The description of the onion rings is correct, but they are still delicious!
that's a pretty generous review overall. i disagree about the onion rings. they may stick together, but i've never had better. the decor should really be improved. -- marcel
I've read a bunch of reviews and if you were paying that much for a burger....wouldn't you want it cooked to order instead of sitting under a heatlamp? Or were the reviews I saw incorrect with that observation?
Ok, I hated Spike more than anyone should ever hate a reality TV contestant while the show was on. . .
. . .but I've eaten at Good Stuff twice now (you can read about the first visit here), and I love it. I've yet to be really disappointed with anything, except the craptasmic service (and even that was better on the second visit--the staff were still inept high school kids, but they were sweet, apologetic inept high school kids).
