Welcome to this week's Movies at Grandmas House newsletter!
In our latest podcast episode, we asked: Does Good Burger (1997) still hold up, or is it just 90s nostalgia on a bun? This cult classic from the golden age of Nickelodeon stars Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell as two quirky fast-food workers caught in a burger war. We dive into its over-the-top humor, unforgettable quotes, and whether Good Burger still serves up laughs for today’s families—or if it’s best left in the drive-thru of the past.

Good Burger (1997)
Good Burger is a wacky comedy that follows the misadventures of Dexter Reed, a high school student who crashes his teacher’s car and needs a summer job to pay for the damages. He reluctantly takes a position at Good Burger, a quirky, small-time fast food joint run by an eccentric crew—including the lovable but clueless Ed, who lives and breathes all things Good Burger.
Things heat up when a flashy new burger chain, Mondo Burger, opens across the street and threatens to put Good Burger out of business. But when Ed creates a secret sauce that becomes a customer favorite, Good Burger finds itself back in the game. With plenty of slapstick humor, outrageous antics, and classic '90s charm, Good Burger delivers a goofy underdog story about friendship, loyalty, and standing up to corporate greed—with a side of extra pickles.
But how would we rate it?
 | Isaac's Rating Hide it in the Attic “Nickelodeon’s ‘All That’ was a big part of the 90s to me and this film oozes it. But between the acting and adult language/themes it actually took me out a little, and didn’t age very well. I had a few laughs but I don’t plan to revisit this one anytime soon." |
Seth's Rating Take it home! “It’s a 90’s classic for everyone who grow up in that era. For me it is pure nostalgia.” |  |
