Good Stuff&#8217;s portobello burger is very similar with muenster and cheddar cheese, then fried with panko. Ehh, I wish the cheese were warm and gooey, but it wasn&#8217;t. Overall, the burger seemed like it was lacking something. Meh, it just didn&#8217;t do it for me. Not sure if it&#8217;s just this location or Good Stuff Eatery in general, but based on this visit, I&#8217;d say they don&#8217;t serve very good stuff.
