Review:
Spike’s 5 Napkin is a little slice of heaven. It is a substantial burger with a full, rich taste. It’s the kind of thing that you don’t want to eat too fast. Chew slowly and savor the flavors.
The richness comes from the fried egg that is on the burger. The yolk tends to break by the time you actually eat the burger, flavoring the entire thing. Bacon adds extra flavor to almost any dish, but it blends especially well with the egg. (Can you tell that the egg is really the key to this burger?)
Spike’s 5 Napkin is essentially a breakfast sandwich (egg, bacon, and cheese) with a burger thrown in for good measure.
I did not specify how I wanted the burger cooked , and it came out medium (maybe leaning towards medium rare). This is a bit undercooked for my tastes. (I prefer my burgers at least medium-well). However, you may feel differently.
Story:
This was my first trip to Good Stuff Eatery. I had heard good reviews from a few people and decided to check it out with a co-worker. I was a bit surprised at the line when we got there. It probably took around 30 minutes from the time we got in line to the time we got our food, but it was worth the wait. The food and conversation, which traversed career plans, politics, and foreign policy, were both excellent. My suggestion: when visiting Good Stuff, just relax, take your time, and enjoy yourself. It’s not a good place to go if you’re in a hurry (unless you happen to notice that there’s no one in line), but it’s a great place to eat. Oh, and I ordered the Black & White Shake and Spike’s Village Fries, which complimented the burger very well (reviews coming soon).
