    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 !

    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.

    Golden Special with Cinnamon Roll French Toast Combo
    Karen N.

    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.

    Corned Beef Hash Skillet

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Omelet
    Alan B.

    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.

    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.

    Stopped at Pronto Italian Sandwiches in Des Plaines on my way to the Donald E. Stephens Convention…read moreCenter and it was such a great find. I ordered The Brando (their Italian sandwich) and it was fantastic. The Calabrian chili aioli completely made the sandwich, I'd never had it before and now I'm officially a fan. The place itself has a cool old school Italian deli feel with plaid tablecloths, and the staff told me they just opened in June 2025. I grabbed mine to go since I was working the convention center, but it looked like a cozy spot to sit down too. It's a little hidden, but totally worth seeking out. Definitely one of those spots I'll stop at again when I'm in the area.

    Had this place bookmarked for a while and finally made it on a cold winter day…read more It's located in a little plaza off of Oakton (not quite on Oakton) with plenty of parking. Inside you order at the counter and they bring out your food. It was pretty empty when we got there and there is plenty of seating space. The staff were very helpful with ordering and offered suggestions when asked. I got the soup of the day and the Scorsese, Jeremy C got the Brando. These sandwiches were HUGE. I had a regular and I still had enough to save a little for later. Sandwich was hefty had a good chunk of meat and toppings and the flavors! *Chef's kiss*. Loved the food! Definitely worth it!
