B. Good prides itself for serving natural “good for you”
food fast, right down to the ketchup they use (Sir Kensington’s non-GMO and raw
sugar only). Ingredients are sourced locally and the map on the wall is proof
of it.
Their burgers is what drew me here, but there are also
quinoa bowls and salads for those who are looking for healthier fare. Each
burger is made with beef, turkey, veggie or chicken breast (extra $1 for chicken).
My husband and I both opted for classic beef, in this case hormone and
antibiotic free from Enright Cattle in Tweed, Ontario.
I had the west side ($7.49) with sharp cheddar (extra
$1.49). You’ll immediately taste the difference in the patty. It’s thick but
loosely packed so it isn’t heavy. With no fillers, I could taste was the
delicious beef and it was a lean cut as it didn’t feel greasy. Topped with creamy avocado, a refreshing salsa
mix and a bit of heat from the chipotle puree, I really enjoyed this gourmet
burger.
My husband opted for the adopted Luke ($7.49) which already
comes with cheese (smoked gouda). Topped with mushrooms, caramelized onions and
smoky BBQ sauce this is the classic hearty burger.
B. Good’s real fries ($3.39) were tossed in some spices to
give it a garlicky chili taste. While their sweet potato fries ($3.99) were nicely
salted to add a savoury element to these sweeter fries. Both are finished in
the oven (I believe means is flash fried and then baked in the oven the rest of
the way) to allow them to be somewhat crispy but healthier tasting. In fact,
the fry’s container proudly displays the fat content of B. Good’s fries
compared to chain favourites.
Their drinks prices are on par with the actual burger. But,
I did find the kale crush ($6.49) delicious and refreshing. Despite the vibrant
green colour the kale’s taste was muted due to the addition of apple,
pineapple, banana and pineapple juice. It’s a relatively thick smoothie from
the Greek yogurt mixed throughout.
If you’re allergic to food items, B. Good is the place for
you as things are kept simple. Their website is a wealth of information listing
ingredients they use in each item, right down to the sauces. And they provide a
list that people who are avoiding gluten should skip on. Interestingly, the
gluten free buns actually contain way more ingredients (many not natural sounding)
compared to the good old fashioned white bun.
Consider joining the “family”, their loyalty program, as
they offer many opportunities to earn freebies. By signing up and voting, I received complimentary fries, a burger and a smoothie so I pretty
much got my meal for free. If you’re creative B. Good also holds contests to
develop new menu items … if you’re chosen you get to eat for free for life! With
prices in line with other gourmet burger joints and plenty of seats, I sense B.
Good will soon be booming during lunch and dinner.
