This is one of those places that quietly becomes your go-to without you even realizing it. What stands out immediately is how consistently good everything is. The portions are generous to the point where your plate feels like it's making a promise it fully intends to keep. Whether it's pancakes, omelets, or something a little more creative, the food comes out hot, fresh, and exactly what you hoped to enjoy. The menu walks that perfect line between classic and creative. Things like loaded skillets, sweet crepes, and standout omelets get a lot of love, and for good reason. And then there's the service, which honestly might be the secret ingredient. Even when it's busy, and it does get busy, the staff keeps things moving while still making you feel like you're taken care of. Friendly, attentive, and quick without being rushed, it's the kind of service that makes a place feel personal. At the end of the day, this is what a great breakfast spot is supposed to be: reliable, welcoming, and genuinely. read more

My husband and I went to Golden Brunch on a Sunday morning. When we got to our table the water pitcher from the previous diners was still on the table and stayed there for the entire meal. We ordered the Bavarian French toast and the sausage links and eggs for breakfast. The French toast was made with very standard ingrediants. The chocolate chips were literally thrown on the pancakes without any effort put into it. If a little more care and attention had been paid this could have been a great meal. Unfortunately what was memorable was the high prices we paid. read more

Visited Golden Brunch after seeing rave reviews on this spot. The inside has quite a bit of seating and had no wait for a Sunday morning. The menu had a wide variety of options for everyone. My husband got the Biscuits and Gravy Combo which came with (2) biscuits, (3) eggs, and (2) sausage links. The gravy is house-made and had good flavor. I got the Bacon & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich which came on a Ciabatta roll and served with hashbrowns. The sandwich flavor was extra cheesy, fresh, but could have used more bacon. The bacon was also not cooked as requested unfortunately. The pricing was fair and portions weren't overly large like other spots in the area. Service was good but fast! Our food came out in maybe 10 minutes but still tasted fresh. Overall, I really enjoyed this brunch spot. Tip: Their B&G gravy is made from scratch every morning and the corned beef is their other specialty. read more

This is a good option for breakfast. We went on a Sunday morning. We arrived at 9:30 and were immediately seated. There were several open tables, but when we left there were people waiting outside for tables. Our server was excellent, she was attentive, proactive and kind. She offered me an ice tea to go and my husband a coffee to go! I had eggs benedict and substituted tomatoes for hash browns . The eggs were firm but the yolk was still creamy. The Canadian bacon was good, but the portion was a bit small. My husband had the Golden Special with cinnamon french toast. He enjoyed it but the french toast was a bit small and a side was not included. Overall, solid breakfast place, with extensive menu and great service. read more

Been here a bunch of times and the food and service is always great. This past Sunday both my GF and I ordered eggs and we took an egg sandwich to go. All 3 people got sick afterwards. Called and spoke to the manager to give him a heads up. He seemed to brush me off and said he would look into it. Didn't take my name, number, nothing. The restaurant should not take these matters lightly. Lost a regular customer. read more

I was a little disappointed as compared to my first Golden Brunch visit. I had the corned beef hash skillet. It was on the bland side. Also the onions and green peepers were pretty raw and could have used just a small amount of heat to soften them up. The over medium eggs on top were fine. Pancakes didn't seem as great as the first time either. The food is still a good value for the price! read more

This was a spur of the moment breakfast choice, because I was getting my car serviced out that way. If I lived nearby, I would definitely frequent this place more, and I'm certainly going to try to eat there again. The Location: Absolutely no hassle. It is conveniently located on Golf Rd. just east of Arlington Heights Rd. The parking lot is huge and the restaurant is clean inside and out. The Food: I had the Mexican skillet which was delicious. They have an awful lot of other creative food options on their menus to choose from. The Service: Everyone i met was very friendly. Matt, my waiter was patient, well spoken, and I could tell that he really likes his job. In addition, my water was filled three times. I love that! I highly recommend Golden Brunch, and it deserves the excellent reviews that brought me here. read more

GLUTEN FREE...APPARENTLY NOT!!! When i called in my order, the first thing that came out of my mouth was gluten free. I ordered a gluten free omelet with pancakes. They DID NOT give me gluten free pancakes, now I'm suffering. When I called, instead of the guy apologizing and offering to remake my order, he wanted to argue with me. Which is completely crazy! He blamed me and said i didn't ask for gluten free pancakes. How do you justify giving someone gluten pancakes when they ordered from the gluten free menu?! read more

Great food. Good coffee. Nice people. Manager knows how to treat his customers with positiveness. I must say that our waitress Rosa was wonderful! The manager was smart to have hired her. She treats her tables with a smile and truly cares about them. Ask for Rosa! I have many reviews- believe me. I recommend Golden Brunch in Arlington Heights- read more

I'm always on the lookout for good Gluten Free pancakes, and theirs are pretty good. I had a short stack, which was 3 pancakes, and it was plenty. I had scrambled eggs and crispy bacon with it. Service was good, and the ambience is like an IHOP. My friend had an omelet which he liked as well. read more

When we first walk into the restaurant we were greeted by a friendly woman. She even thanked us for choosing to dine here. She seated us... there are both tables and chairs as well as booths. The booths have glass dividers. They play light rock music and it is loud enough to carry on a conversation without hearing other nearby conversations. The restaurant is clean and there were two men sweeping and keeping the floors looking nice! I ordered the Gyros Platter and it was great! Lots of meat and very tasty. I was a little disappointed that the pita was cut in half... I really wish it was left whole... so I could eat it like a sandwich if I wanted too. My husband ordered the Corned Beef Skillet and he said would order it again! He gave me a piece of his pancake and it was very yummy! My husband used the bathroom and he said it was nice and clean! We will be back again when we are in the area! Definitely a great place for breakfast and lunch. I have posted videos of our food... I don't think it will show up on the review but will show up in the restaurant photos. read more

Excellent food and service. Generous portions. 4 orders came exactly as ordered. Everything was fresh and delicious.

Really solid breakfast. I had the meat lovers skillet with pancakes. I love skillets because you get a little of everything

Good food. Great service. Would recommend. First of all, this is some of the best service I've ever had. The restaurant was clean and modern. We had the Mexicana Skillet with French toast, RJ's breakfast wrap, and the freshly squeezed orange juice. The skillet was a bit under-seasoned, but just adding salt and pepper was more than enough to make it great. The breakfast wrap was flavorful and quite large. The French toast was pretty standard, but good. The service was really excellent and the prices were affordable and more than fair for what we got. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. When you walk in you are greeted by the owner or manager with a warm smile and given a voice of seats. The server immediately stopped by and told us the Busser would be by directly with water and took our drink order. The Busser then shows up with water and double checks to ensure we've got a drink order in. Food came out quickly and with all the special instructions done right. Food was excellent. A regular came in and sat at the next table and during the course of our meal the Busser, the manager and another server came by to ask about his wife who had apparently recently had surgery. All were kind and very sincere. These are the nicest people over ever met in Chicago. Definitely heck this place out. read more

Great service by the staff. The food came out quickly and was fresh and delicious! Great spot for breakfast or brunch.

Great service. 10% discount for seniors (over 55) bacon just ok, omelettes and pancakes good. Didn't see an option for egg white omelettes but tater tots can be subbed for hash browns, so that's a plus! read more

This is my go to breakfast/lunch place. There is something for everyone. I love their omelettes and always ask for extra spicy feta sauce. My son loves Nutella French toast with fresh fruit and my friends have ordered crab cakes, gyros and breakfast as well and always are happy. Service is excellent. You will never wait for your coffee top off and the owner is always there to greet you and make sure all is well. The restaurant and bathrooms are always clean and well lit there are booths and tables you can choose from. This is a great family and friend hangout where you always get great food and feel at home. read more

Solid four stars. Service was good and the menu was large and varied. I liked the restaurant decor. My platter of French toast, bacon, and scrambled eggs was tasty.
