    The service is excellent. They are friendly and clean up after u ! The food is so good breakfast and lunch! I enjoyed my soup it was good to the last spoon. I was so full on my chicken wrap! They play piano music in the background! It's a nice size family resturant! Tables and booths. You pay for the soda water if you are into that. Go hungry and enjoy !

    Golden Special with Cinnamon Roll French Toast Combo

    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.

    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.

    Corned Beef Hash Skillet
    Quin B.

    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!

    A great cup of coffee

    I'm happy to say I'm a regular here and the owners couldn't be nicer Great food Great people Great prices Big parking lot , big dining area , nice bathrooms And another way the owners support their customers. Unlike other places Golden Brunch doesn't charge the 3% fee when you pay by credit card If you haven't been here , you must stop in and see Argie or Steve, owners and great guys

    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.

    Food was great and fast! My server wasn't overly fun or anything but she did great. The rest of the staff was great too tho. It was tasteful and fast!

    A friendly and welcoming brunch spot in the Chicago suburbs . First time here and had a wonderful dining experience . The staff is so super nice and friendly and and the place is spacious and nicely kept. The menu is big with lots of great choices. We had the spartan omelet, lox on a bagel, salmon Benedict l, and eggs. The food arrived quickly, the portion sizes are big and everything tasted amazing. You could tell that the food was freshly prepared . Highly recommend golden brunch for a wholesome dining experience.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We were seated as soon as we came in the door. Our server, GRACE, was the best! She was very attentive and super nice. I will definitely come back here! AMAZING BREAKFAST PLACE!

    Menu is out of this world!!!

    This has become my favorite breakfast spot. Golden Brunch has it all. All of their food is good...it's like greek/American flair. Everything is cooked to perfection. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I always get their build your own omelette with chorizo and it comes with plentiful hash browns and eggs. overall, Golden Brunch is a hidden gem. It is worth the 49 minute drive.

    Stopped in for breakfast with the wife. She had the 2 egg breakfast with turkey bacon & fruit. I just had a side of sausage patties & cottage cheese. Service was friendly & attentive. Good meal and experience overall. Reducing one star because wife ordered cheesy scrambled eggs. But the cheese wasn't melted at all.

    Gluten free options?

    All our omelettes and skillets are gluten free. We also have gluten toast and pancakes.

    What's the normal wait time on a weekend morning?

    I have rarely had to wait for a table on Saturday mornings (around 10:00-10:30). The prior answers are spot-on.

    After a long day of cancelled and delayed flights, this is exactly what I needed…read more Very good and extensive beer selection. I had very good (not great) wings and a tasty grilled chicken sandwich. Not the best versions of either, but still very tasty and really hit the spot. It's very clear that this location caters to business travelers. I was there on consecutive nights - Thursday and Friday night. Fairly lively room good energy, but not rowdy. Big screens over the bar with lots of games on. I really like the service both nights. I was there. The crew behind the bar was super friendly and helpful. Offered a few samples of beers. I was curious about. Overall city Work checked all the boxes. Glad I came.

    ​Out at Woodfield Mall, we tried City Works based on a Google Maps suggestion. It's a large,…read morecorporate, upscale dining spot. If you're a beer drinker, they have a massive selection on tap (about 90 taps--and no, that's not a typo!). They also have a large patio that looks like a great spot when the weather is nice. Inside, there's a good mix of low-tops, high-tops, banquettes, and booths. All the tabletops feature copper tops with wood trim, and exposure to water and food over time has given each table a unique patina. ​We arrived right as they were switching over from the brunch menu to dinner, and the staff made us feel very welcome. ​What We Ordered: ​Smoked Brisket Reuben Eggrolls: We ordered these special eggrolls for the table. My friend has a shellfish allergy, and since many traditional eggrolls contain shrimp, he was excited to try these. He said they were the best eggrolls he's ever had (though he admitted he doesn't eat them often!). He paired it with a Guinness Zero non-alcoholic draught and was amazed by how close it tasted to the original. ​Fish Tacos ($19): Recommended by another reviewer, these come with three cornmeal-battered, fried Mahi-Mahi tacos topped with cilantro lime cream and fresh micro cilantro. They were crispy and very tasty. If you're usually sensitive to cilantro, you might still enjoy these--I mostly tasted a bright, lemony freshness rather than heavy cilantro. ​Sides (Broccoli Rabe & Asparagus): I substituted chips for a vegetable side. Due to a mix-up in the kitchen, I got to try the broccoli rabe first, though it turned out way too spicy for anyone at our table. My actual order was asparagus--my absolute favorite--but it was a bit disappointing, as the bottom half of each stalk was woody and fibrous. ​Fish & Chips ($21.50): My friend went with this traditional entry. At that price point, he was expecting three fillets, but he couldn't finish the two that were served and took some home. Overall, a solid entrée. ​Classic Breakfast ($15.50): My husband got this from the brunch menu. He was very pleased with the scrambled eggs, potatoes, thick-sliced bacon, and sausage links. ​Overall, a solid visit with great variety on the menu!

    If you haven't discovered Fox & Turtle yet, you're missing one of the best hidden gems in the area…read more I was genuinely surprised to learn it's open to the public because it feels every bit like an upscale private country club. The outdoor patio overlooking the golf course is absolutely beautiful--relaxing, scenic, and the kind of place that makes you feel like you're on vacation. Even on a busy Thursday evening, the atmosphere was lively without ever feeling hectic. Our server, Jordyn, was outstanding. She looked young, but don't let that fool you--she was completely on top of everything. We were a party of six that couldn't decide what we wanted, laughed way too loudly, and probably tested her patience more than once. She handled us with grace, humor, and a smile the entire time. Somewhere along the way we started calling her "Wednesday" from The Addams Family, and she rolled with it perfectly. Great sense of humor and fantastic service. The food was excellent. The Crispy Eggplant Salad was absolutely phenomenal--fresh, flavorful, and easily large enough to share between two people. The burger was cooked perfectly, the cocktails were outstanding, and everything arrived promptly. The bar staff also deserve a shout-out. They were welcoming from the moment we arrived, made great eye contact, acknowledged everyone immediately, and had drinks in our hands in no time. That's the kind of hospitality that makes people want to come back. Fox & Turtle has the rare combination of great food, attentive service, excellent drinks, and a beautiful setting. It's the kind of place you expect to find inside an exclusive club, yet thankfully it's open for everyone to enjoy. We'll definitely be back.
