About b.good

The idea came from the company’s founders: two best friends who grew up eating wholesome, flavorful, good-for-you food, lovingly cooked in their uncle’s kitchen. It was comfort food made with farm-fresh ingredients that left you feeling good inside and out (and long after you licked your plate). The same kind of food B.GOOD happily serves today.

B.GOOD's first location was in Boston, MA. But it didn’t take long for our roots to spread throughout the city (then the Greater Boston area, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Maine!) - bringing homemade, hearty meals to whomever had an appetite for great taste and good vibes.

Today, B.GOOD is still serving up wholesome, honest food that makes people feel GOOD all across New England. We work with more farmers, bakers and growers than ever. We serve a whole lot more than just burgers and can cater and deliver it right to your doorstep.

B.GOOD first launched in 2004 with the premise of bringing clean, natural and locally sourced food to everyone.
We call it FOOD WITH ROOTS. It’s food with heritage and origin, homemade, shared with family and friends and grown by communities. Our mission has allowed us to be one of the fastest growing brands in the industry! We currently have 60+ locations in the United States, Canada, Germany and Switzerland and expected to reach 70+ locations by 2018.
