So what’s really so goofy about the Goofy Goose Tacoma Restaurant?
This favorite spot of UPS students has long piqued my curiosity. My goal with a visit to the Goofy Goose on 6th Ave. was to try to get to the bottom of why it’s goofy, and also if there is actually a goose involved in any way whatsoever.
Although there are hamburgers at this hamburger joint, the thing to get is the pseudo-Japanese fare. The yakisoba, for example, is very tasty, with plenty of perfectly cooked veggies, and enough meat for a family of four. The hand-dipped fried mushrooms, at less than two bucks an order, are worth the trip alone.
So, I guess the goofy part is that this hole-in-the-wall actually offers something different than you might expect, and that the hamburgers are good and reliable. And I can confirm there is not a goose in sight.
See ya!

Danielle,
The Goofy Goose was started by my grandfather, Ron Gosselin. As you probably know, a gosling is a baby goose. He made the play of words on his last name. He sold the restuarant many, many years ago, but the sign has never changed.
