B.GOOD — Restaurant in South Portland

This is the best burger place I have ever been to. I went to the one in the Old Port when it was there, and I've been coming here. I've followed their evolution through the years.

They make burgers that taste fresh and delicious, but they don't make you feel a little queasy when you're done like some of the fast-food burgers do. They use high-quality local ingredients when they can, and have a selection of other nice items on the menu such as acai bowls and loaded quinoa bowls. Their chicken sandwiches are great. Their regular selection of burgers is fun, not to mention the seasonal specials such as maple bacon.

Instead of eating at the Maine Mall's truly lousy food court (other than the adjacent Jaffa Mediterranean Grill), and filling up on God-knows-what, you could try doing your shopping and then stopping by this place on the way home. That's what I do. The entrance is literally only 1,200 feet from the Philbrook Avenue entrance to the mall on Gorham Road. You could walk there. (The Maine Mall itself is 1,600 feet long.) Not to mention, it's less than a mile from I-295 and less than 2 miles from Route 1, so convenient on the way back from a day trip. Just keep it in mind.

B.Good has a display on the wall that shows the farms where they get their stuff, and what is in season at the time! You are not gonna find that at too many places.

As a side order you can get something truly interesting such as buffalo cauliflower bites, eggplant meatballs, or sweet potato fries, but their regular fries are excellent as well. As are their smoothies and milkshakes. They have a kids menu; stuff that kids like, but without all the junk that you might get some other places.

It's a nice casual relaxed environment and the staff is friendly. On price they won't compete with McDonald's, but on value for your money they blow McDonald's out of the water, and you're supporting a small regional chain that has struggled since COVID. Some locations including the Old Port location and some others in New England have closed. They are now down to five locations. Let's give this sweet little chain a few of our well-deserved dollars so that it's not just the usual suspects to choose from.

I mean, I see the cars packing the parking lot to go to Olive Garden. I don't want to knock the American megachains, and they can be a good time, but these excellent smaller chains deserve our business, and they don't have the marketing oomph to advertise during the Super Bowl or anything. This place has a unique vibe. You can get your stomach-wrecking Whopper in Kalamazoo, Michigan, or your greasy Big Mac mystery meat in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, but you are not going to find a lot of burger joints anywhere that bring it like this badass New England chain does.

I don't buy a lot of burgers out because I make a mean burger myself. But B.Good just offers one of those simple pleasures out that is hard to duplicate.

I think it's a shame that the Old Port location is gone, especially since Five Guys is gone from downtown too which means a little less competition. B.Good is head-and-shoulders above Elevation Burger, which recently closed (I'm updating my review to reflect this). This place is right in the sweet spot of a current trend of food that's delicious and high-quality while also being not bad for you (or being good for you, depending on what you order). There are a lot of regulars here, but I'd love to see more people find out about this place so that the chain can start growing again like it deserves to.

This place absolutely rocks. ...

I ordered take out so I gave neutral scores in those categories. My Cobb salad was the most disappointing waste of money I’ve ever experienced. The lettuce was wilted. The avocado was brown , mushy, and mixed throughout the salad. Everytime I thought I picked it all out another disgusting mushy piece would find its way to my mouth. The bacon was undercooked so it was fatty and the texture was inedible. The hard boiled eggs were bought and taken out of a bag. They were not freshly cooked eggs. They tasted like preservatives and chemicals. There was not one bad element in this salad. It was all inedible. Every ingredient was lacking. DO NOT waste your money on this inedible mess!!! B Good? Seriously? Your name should be taken away and copyright removed. The sad part is they will not care about the money they took from me or acknowledge this feedback. My guess is they will continue to disappoint and accept money from people for a product that belongs in the garbage. I guarantee this business will slowly burn the bridge with one customer at a time. Instead of taking responsibility for the poor quality they will slowly drive their business into the ground. People are currently struggling to make ends meet. Spending $13 plus tax, tips and other fees will not settle well with consumers. They will not be back and I will encourage everyone not to even try your food because it...

this restaurant has gone completely downhill. firstly, the menu and drinks being completely changed has downgraded the experience— the entire left side of the building is useless due to there being no fountain drinks or sauces. secondly, DO NOT CHARGE A CUSTOMER FOR A PRODUCT YOU DO NOT HAVE. we paid for a gluten free burger, only to find out from another customer's conversation that your establishment was out of gluten free buns. we then had to go to the counter to rectify this, along with asking for more fries because some of ours weren't billed on the receipt. once we finally get our meal, despite having 2 orders of fries, a burger, and a bowl, we only received 1 fry and no silverware. we AGAIN had to wait for 5 minutes in front of the counter while we were completely ignored by your staff. eventually someone noticed and gave us our silverware and placed an order for the extra fries, but we had to go back to the counter 20 minutes later to learn that the extra fry order was NEVER PLACED. the menu and selection at B-GOOD has significantly fallen off, the customer service is negligible and silent, orders are consistently done incorrectly, and food and drink is constantly missing. i will not come back here nor reccomend it; at this point in time, the experience here is lesser than mcdonald's for...
