Chocolate chip pancakes, egg whites, bacon, hashbrowns

Ali C.

Met my daughter for a late breakfast. Cute homestyle place with ample parking. Pricing is very reasonable. I got perfectly cooked over medium eggs, potato pancakes (comes with sour cream and applesauce on the side) and rye toast. My daughter got chocolate chip pancakes (huge), egg whites, bacon, and hashbrowns. So many choices!! They serve breakfast & lunch and there was a steady stream of folks cycling thru. It is far from us normally, but my daughter was dog sitting near there. Would go again if in that area. Enjoy!!

Breakfast sandwich and chicken club. Look at the hugh amount of potatoes!

Patty B.

They greed you right away. And seated us right away as well. Family friendly atmosphere. Our server Janet was on the spot. Enormous amount of food. Coffee was endless. We chose a brunch type meal. Me the breakfast sandwich with sourdough bread, YUM. My friend the chicken salad club. We took half of each home because the portions were so big. If your looking for Breakfast or Lunch this is the place.

Second time dining at Golden Bear restaurant for breakfast and it was excellent as usual!! I ordered the western omelette with home-fried potatoes, side of white toast and a side of grits. Everything was cooked perfectly!!! Grits are awesome!! Food came out hot and in good time!! Service was great as well!! Cool decorations around the interior and was not too loud with the amount of people eating there.

Ham, mushroom, & cheese omelet with hash browns and a biscuit

Alyssa M.

The ambiance is super cute here and is definitely your traditional diner! It gets very busy but the service is great and very quick. The hash browns were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, and the biscuit was super flaky. The omelet was pretty good, though I wasn't a huge fan of the American cheese in it and the eggs could have been a bit fluffier. The portions were really good though and I'd definitely come back!

Biscuits and gravy- half eaten! Full order

Savannah G.

Omg the food is so good!! Im a die hard biscuits and gravy fan and theirs are superb! The country fried steak is also divine. This place is quaint and not an upscale restaurant but its comfortable. The service is always on point and the coffee is always fresh and flowing. It's also really affordable! I love this place.

Great little place hidden in the back of a strip mall. Everyone here was so nice from the waitstaff to the cashier. Went in on a Sunday morning and the place was packed to the brim but still sat us quickly and it was very evident there were a decent amount of regulars that would keep coming back. My coffee cup didn't run dry or 1/2 down for the entire meal. The food came out quick and you can tell those line cooks were turning and burning from the constant in and out. Portion sizes were large and not a place you leave with any doubt of being full. The bagel was nice and crispy, eggs were right consistency, prob 6-8 slices of ham on there and hash browns cooked to a golden brown to go with it. Wife got the big bear French pancakes which are pancakes coated with French toast batter. I got a couple bites of these and they will be on my plate next time I'm in 5/5 would recommend to a friend!

Looking for a different place to meet Deb for lunch and this place popped up in the search so here we are. Really cozy, mom and pop feel. Large menu with the diner favorites both breakfast and lunch. I ordered some fried pickles to start. Really good. They were spears and I usually prefer chips but the brininess of the pickles and the breading made for a great tasting bite. I then ordered the Cheeseburger club. Delicious. A little messy to eat but good sandwiches should be right? All of the flavors of a burger but into triangles like a club. Deb had the chicken salad sandwich. Nice flavors and a large portion. Over all a sold diner with great food at great prices.

I love Golden Bear. We showed up on a Saturday morning and there was a short wait but not too bad. Everyone was really pleasant. The servers were attentive but not pushy. My wife ordered the Belgian waffles with bananas. They were fluffy and tender and she also got bacon which was cooked perfectly. I ordered the chili omelette and I can only say wow. It was great. I also tried their grits which were cooked perfectly as well Long story short. Give this place a chance it's worth you're while. read more

My family and I have been coming to Golden Bear every Sunday for 15 years and this morning was a very disappointing experience. We had 9 adults and 2 kids, part of our party was later to arrive, although there was no wait at the time. We had a waitress we had never had before and she was apparently unhappy that part of our party was tardy. She was rude and continued to up-charge and over charge us on all of our orders. We were charged for 14 adult meals and 2 kid meals (There were only 11 people in total). Our bill was much higher than it has ever been in 15 years. It was obvious to us she was doing this out of spite of us holding the table up a few minutes. We pointed this out to the waitress and manager, but they continued to try to justify the charges and only refunded us $12.00. This experience was extremely disappointing to us. My family and I will not be returning. read more

This is a good place with that feeling you might get from cheers. You walk in and it feels homey. The staff, is incredibly sweet. The food is very cheap. Lunch specials for 8.50 and under, breakfast for around $5.50. I love patty melts. Now, I'm new to the state, by two months. This so far is the best patty melt I've had. My husband ordered breakfast. The southern scramble I believe. It was alot of food. He liked his breakfast, but said he thought the gravy was from a mix. I tasted it and thought it was good. Two different opinions. Looking at the specials of the week, and daily breakfast specials, I know I will be back again. Is it gourmet, no. But it good food that maybe your grandma might make, they are kind, the atmosphere is homey, and there are ALOT of regulars whom they know by name. I would say, try it. where can you go and get roasted turkey with mash potatoes and gravy with cranberries for under $10. read more

I love everything about the Golden Bear. The food is not fancy but instead good, hearty breakfast and lunch food. I enjoy the consistency of the cooking, the friendliness of the wait-staff, being welcomed when I enter, and the ambience. The restaurant clearly honors our veterans, is proud of this country and our Christian heritage. The owner, Joe, is one of the nicest people I have ever known. He does everything he can to ensure that your meal is a pleasant one. More, you know that he instills the same efficiency in everyone who works for for him. You like being here because the staff makes you feel feel relaxed. The place does get crowded but never unpleasantly noisy. It is best to get there before 9 on the weekend as large families seem to start arriving soon afterwards and service slows a bit. We have been known to linger a few times in conversation and the coffee cups stay filled with a smile. Well done! read more

The completely forgot about the first 2. Long line so figured it's probably good and looking at reviews thought it would be worth the wait. 45 minutes wait in line. They were completely overwhelmed and lady who took my order (BTW, I'm a very heterosexual man, but there are a lot of kids around and if you're going to lean forward to take orders, how about wearing a shirt that doesn't let me see down to your belly button and all the things you stuff in your bra, such as lighters, etc.) got very snappy with everyone. As you can see from video I posted where I asked people how long they had been waiting, it was over 2 HOURS for most. At that point, all of us should have had our food refunded or at least some type of discount, but nope. Never offered. After an hour, when I went and asked the woman who took my order how long it would take, she said "in a while. I don't know. We're busy". Guess what. That's your JOB to know. They never gave anyone a receipt, just asked us to give them our names, and when we would ask how long it would be, they asked for our name and then asked what we ordered. Seriously? IT SHOULD BE ON THE TICKET WITH THE NAME I JUST GAVE YOU!!! FYI, I gave them the name "YO" to make it easy to remember but apparently, it was too difficult. There were over 30 people waiting and the crowd was getting angry!!! Finally, another woman showed up that got things moving. Whoever you are in the red shirt, thank you! I think we'd still be waiting if it wasn't for you. You should have been there an hour before then. Now the food. Remember the easy to eat part? Obviously it's a food truck, so no crab pliers given. The other food truck actually cracked them before serving them so people could just peel them open. Nothing done here so it was impossible to eat (big crab legs were easier but still not ideal). Had to take them home to eat which defeats the purpose of a food truck. The blue crabs had almost no meat in them. Complete waste of money. The crab legs were actually big and at least tasted good which is why it's 2 stars and not one. Based on the service alone and lack of care to try to make things right with customers, I'm leery to even go to their physical location. Too much competition around to not take care of customers the way they should. Very disappointing and had such high hopes.

But nothing could beat those oysters - sweet with a little bit of brine, and very fresh. For dinner we got a lobster roll - they come hot or cold, with the hot coming with melted butter. We also got the fried haddock roll.... Wow! Both were fantastic! I know we overdid it with dinner.... We even got an order of the whole belly clams. I didn't think anyone in Florida served those down here! Absolutely ridiculous . In short, we had fantastic dinner and terrific beverages. I really recommend you at least try to find the place - we almost didn't go in because of its awkward location and the fact that no cars were outside. We saw the place was open and decided to have a appetizer because the Yelp review was so strong, and I'm glad we did! I told the two people there they should park their cars nearby so patrons would see them..... Anyway, I'm going back again, but this time I'm bringing friends!

It came with french fries and coleslaw, and I enjoyed both sides. Even the tartar sauce was so good - I think it might be homemade? We also ordered the Connecticut style lobster roll and the Maine red snappy hot dog, which were good. The guys who run this place are so nice. He even let me keep a few oyster shells to take home for the kids to use in their crafts! Lots of tables, bar seating, and a corner full of board games and such.

We ordered the grilled oysters and those were delicious. A couple little loaves of bread and olive oil with tasty herbs were brought with our appetizer and it was really wonderful and fresh. Both of us ordered a cup of the lobster bisque, but I didn't care for it as it tasted more like artificial crab than it did lobster. I sent it back and got the mixed salad. I ordered the swordfish entree and it was really wonderful. After dinner, hubby and I split a slice of key lime pie which was really good but not great. Service was awkward as our server was a little inattentive and it delayed our evening longer. So overall the food was really good (bad lobster bisque) but service was lacking. I'd try it again if we are in the area, as not every server is the same.

After selling a few years back at the newer Seminole location many felt the quality took a hit and the restaurant responded by bringing back original management and celebrity chéf Robert Hesse to help restore the once revered reputation of great food. All I can say is whatever they did, IT WORKED as I've visited twice since the renovation and it's certainly BACK to it's former glory! I have always enjoyed the rustic feel inside the main dining and bar area as it just has a welcoming, comfortable and casual atmosphere. The service has always been as good as anyone should expect. The food both aesthetically pleasing and the items I've had very delicious making me return again & again. Our favorite is the infamous Philly Cheesesteak but their burgers and other handhelds like the BIG BEEF smoked brisket are all exceptionally good tasting! If you are a beef lover than Big Jims is a must try! They offer weekend Prime Rib Specials and we are quite anxious to try.

We had a very short wait, maybe 15 minutes before getting seated, our server was very quick to take our order, the only problem was a table about three away from us that had a five-year-old yelling and screaming pretty much at the top of her lungs constantly, the parents not trying to take care of the problem by walking her outside for a little bit, just let her do her thing With this in mind, and what would seem to be an hour to get our food (it wasn't) we tucked into the sandwich and the rings... Was the cheesesteak the best, no, was it great, no, it was just ok, nothing to right home about... it definitely did not look like the cheesesteak that big Jim was biting into on Facebook. How were the onion rings, they came out hot, large, and very crispy, were they, tasty, yes, were they greasy, very.... I never leave onion rings at a restaurant not to take them home, I left these, I couldn't honestly see with them being so grease laden that they would be any better reheated. So far IMHO, the touch stone for cheesesteaks belongs to a certain bar located in Dunedin...

**Review for Golden Bear** I recently dined at Golden Bear and had a rather mixed experience. While the ambiance of the restaurant was charming and inviting, the food unfortunately fell short of my expectations. The dishes I tried were decent but lacked the creativity and flavors that I was hoping for. It felt like the menu had potential, but the execution just didn't quite hit the mark. Additionally, the service could have been improved. Our server was friendly, but it took longer than expected for our orders to be taken and for the food to arrive. There seemed to be a lack of attention to detail, as we had to remind them about our drink refills. A little more attentiveness would have gone a long way in enhancing our overall experience. Overall, while Golden Bear has the makings of a great restaurant, both the food and service need some refinement. I hope to see improvements in the future, as the location and vibe have a lot of potential. For now, I would say it's worth a visit if you're in the area, but manage your expectations regarding the culinary experience. read more

**Rating: 5 stars** Golden Bear is a charming family breakfast spot that never fails to deliver a warm, homely vibe. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with genuine smiles from the amazing waitresses and staff who make you feel like part of the family. One of the standout dishes here is the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits are perfectly baked, with a golden, flaky exterior that gives way to a soft, buttery inside. The gravy is rich and savory, with just the right amount of seasoning to complement the biscuits. Each bite is a delightful combination of textures and flavors that brings comfort and satisfaction. The ambiance at Golden Bear is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to start your day. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, the attentive staff ensures you have a memorable dining experience. read more
