Service and food are both amazing. Very friendly staff that check back with you to see if you need anything. Food is very yummy. I highly recommend this place. Cozy log cabin style restaurant. read more

Large restaraunt with plenty of seating. Appears to be an old house converted into a restaurant. So seating is divided into small rooms. Southern cooked dishes and desserts. Their fried cornbread is a bit odd. Looks like pancakes, and did not taste like traditional cornbread to me. Appeared to be mostly local clientele. read more

Food is good, service is even better! The employees were beyond nice and welcoming. The food was fast, and hot when it came out Solid 9/10.... Only reason I didn't give it a 10/10 because I have to hear my wife complain about how they didn't have the banana pudding haha but we'll be back to try it for sure! read more

Fabulous and traditional diner - food is great but it's less food and more ambiance and personnel - lovely people that make you happy to spend your money and make you feel like a Grandma is happy you arrived and ready to feed you. read more

I ordered the chicken breast special to go with okra. It was absolutely delicious. Service was great at checkout.... I also added key lime pie which was also amazing. Overall great value for excellent food..... read more

Fantastic southern food & great service! Menu consisted of your typical southern dishes like hot roast beef with mashed potatoes & gravy, broasted chicken, chicken tenders & fries, a variety of breakfast options, cheeseburger, etc. The food was very good & we will definitely be going back! read more

We had a late breakfast. We received excellent and friendly service. The food came out quick and was very tasty.

We stopped in here on a busy Sunday at lunch to have true East TN cooking. We had a very short wait and our server greeted us promptly. We placed our order and it came out quickly. I had the vegetable plate as I wanted to try many of the sides. It was so good. I will definitely return if I am in the area again. Also, it had a very homey feeling in the restaurant. read more

Golden Girls Restaurant - Vegetable plate - American Near Me - Clinton, Tennessee

Had a great experience both times I went. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The food was great.

Went here on a Sunday after church with 9 of us 4 adults 5 kids, they were slammed but their friendly service and welcoming attitude made our short wait time even better. Truly enjoyed the atmosphere and food. Will definitely return. Our waitress was amazing! read more

After some Christmas shopping in Clinton, we were ready for a hearty lunch and Yelp suggested Golden Girls. We were not disappointed. Great food and service, even on a fairly busy Saturday afternoon. The menu offerings are East Tennessee staples and the CFS & eggs were delicious. read more

Excellent Southern comfort food at a reasonable price! I am from the North, and this was a treat!

If you want to experience the taste of down home East Tennessee cooking... this is as close as you can get to sitting and eating at my mother's dinner table. Actor Harrison Ford comes here every so often to eat. But I haven't seen him yet. No doubt he knows a good restaurant for sure. The deserts are to die for. Eat it slow so you can experience paradise longer! read more

This place has Potential for 3.8-4 stars but I'm guessing family owned! We were seated & from the start don't know if she was part of the family that runs the restaurant but she could but even get out water & LEMON SLICE!!! How hard is that??! As we asked questions, our first time here it was as if we were speaking Chinese. So we just decided Pancakes nothing spectacular the SAUSAGE COMPLETE GREASE!!! Nasty Nasty Nasty. I will not be dining here moving forward. read more

This was my first time in and the food was okay. I enjoyed the eggs and bacon but the gravy had no taste. The service was okay and our didn't check on us much. The place itself was cute and looked like a log cabin which I thought was neat but I probably wouldn't be jumping up and down to go back. read more

Travelers on I75: Don't miss this nugget of nice. Gives meaning to the phrase "southern charm". Full of locals out with families on a sunny Sunday probably after church. The menu features generous portions of traditional southern & American food, with lots of interesting side dishes. We had broasted chicken that was crispy & flavorful on the outside, juicy on the inside. And to top it off they have about 8 kinds of pie! Our waiter was delightfully warm & helpful and well I deserved a generous tip. I have bookmarked it for return trips. read more

Service was excellent. Great little stop on our way to SC! The food was all good but the staff was wonderful!

Good LORD will,I plan on making a 45min trip to Golden Girls restaurant for a Wonderful comforter food for lunch, it's been about 12 years since the last time We ate there and it was a great Meal and a great atmosphere and a very respectable female waitress, looking forward experience One More Time at Golden Girls Restaurant, Praying the Trip will be worth it once again pray read more

My cousin said it best "it's like Cracker Barrel but local". I was in the mood for a hot roast beef sandwich and, sadly, mine disappeared from my plate as if a vacuum cleaner has sucked it up . I DID, however, refrain from licking the plate! NEXT TIME (bc there WILL be a next time) I'm driving thru Tennessee on my way to my daughter's in Florida, I'll have a burger (bc they smelled so good as I was walking out to my car ) read more

Our table had breakfast and dinner items. Everything was tasty, and our waitress kept the drinks topped off.

Totally not what we expected. Tried it on a whim. Great story why it's named Golden Girls. To find out the reason go visit. Great food and super friendly staff. read more

We stopped here on our way to Oak Ridge. Super easy to find off the interstate. My husband ordered the country fried steak. He enjoyed it. I ordered the seafood platter. Since the restaurant is nowhere near fresh seafood, I didn't expect much. Considering the location, it is a decent way to kill a seafood craving. The cornbread and rolls were also really good. We also got a side of onion rings to share. read more

Used to love this restaurant and were regulars (2-3 times per week) but twice now have had horrible experiences with the waitstaff. This morning I tried to order my normal breakfast and since I'm on a doctor ordered low carb diet asked my waitress if I could substitute the carbs for another side as usual and she was absolutely NASTY to me saying she "doesn't do substitutes". When I mentioned that no one else there has ever given me a problem over this request she said that "she does her job right, and the other waitresses don't" and "she wasn't losing her job over breaking the rules for me". This was a WAY over the top attitude to have with ANY customers. Then she snapped at me saying "if I had a problem to talk to her manager". Well, I did go talk to the manager and didn't get an apology or an offer to make things right. I told her she just lost two regular customers and she didn't seem to care. Do not support this business as they obviously DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. read more

Service is just okay. Food is really poor, except desserts are okay. Breakfast is just on par with waffle house. They just dont try to be good. read more

Golden Girls was recommended by a sales clerk at on of the local stores. Good southern cooking..down home style menu. Breakfast on the menu all day. We had 3 meals on our order 1) WESTERN omelet 2) Mexican omelet and 3) Cheeseburger plate. omelets were good, biscuits very good, gravy ok, cheeseburger and fries were excellent. Nice friendly wait staff. Neat country themed interior. Fried pickles are excellent but overpriced for the portion. Give it a try. Maybe stick with the lunch and dinner menu. read more

Had breakfast at Golden Girls. We had eaten here before but this was the first time for breakfast. Had the eggs, sausage, grits and biscuits and gravy. Everything was done to my liking and the waitress was very attentive. We will be back. read more

Mom and pops a must stop if you want some country cooking. Lots of good looking home cooks meals to choice from. I went with the roast beef sandwich it came with smashed potatoes covered in tasty brown gravy. I also went with the coleslaw it was rich and creamy. If your a Tennessee fan you would love everything inside. read more

Golden Girls Restaurant - Coleslaw and roast beef - American Near Me - Clinton, Tennessee

Surprised at how delicious this meal was and how great of service I had here. I stopped in Golden Girls while traveling just on a whim because I was starving and didn't want more fast food, and I'm so glad I did. My server was Sarah; she was insanely nice, recommended the country fried steak, brought me everything I needed, and a tea to go. Loved her, no complaints. The country fried steak was fantastic - lots of crust, delicious, savory gravy, and a large portion. The green beans and slaw were both great as well, and I enjoyed the biscuit and corn bread so much. This dinner was wonderful, quick, hot, and CHEAP. For $8.75, I had the entree, two sides, and bread basket. Total after my tea was $11. Fabulous little place, I'll definitely return next time I'm passing through Kentucky. Thanks so much! read more

An A-OK eatery! We popped in here for a quick bite while on the road. I had the cheeseburger with onion rings and a soda. The cheeseburger was tasty, but I'd try something else if ever out this way again. The onion rings were good! They had some cute homemade bird houses up front - check those out! They also have some fun knick-knacks around the restaurant, so take a look around while you're there. The staff was friendly, but only one server was running the tables on the floor so things were a bit on the slower side. No biggie, I just wouldn't recommend coming here in a hurry. Overall: B+ A country cooking place that serves up southern style eats. read more

Golden Girls is such an awesome restaurant. It's an old log cabin model turned into a really cool restaurant. It has tons of charm, very country vibe, and the food is GREAT!!!!!! It's a definite MUST if u are traveling to or through Clinton! You won't be disappointed! read more

First of all - let's start with the restaurant layout-it is weird . Not eccentric or unusual- weird! There's a 'house type kitchen' with a sink in the entrance area and a cluttered home desk check out area. We stopped because It was the only sit down restaurant around and we were hungry! The food included instant mashed potatoes and canned corn. They were Out of pickles and BBQ SAUCE, lol. The Broasted chicken is fried and it and the apple pie were ok tasting though. But it is a VERY dirty restaurant! Floors really messy, dirty windows, and multiple tables uncleared. Makes you wonder what the kitchen looks like *shudder* I was also overcharged by $6.00. I did not speak up, because the check out lady was brash, reprimanding servers on the side and there was a line of 3 waiting to get out. We just wanted to get out of there. Will not go back. read more

We stop here at Golden Girls every time we are on our way to vacation. Always perfect fried chicken and okra. I added a home made lemon meringue pie to end my meal, and it was delicious! Down home cooking with southern hospitality Always a must place to visit if your heading south on 75 in Tennessee read more

First time eating here and absolutely loved it! The staff are wonderful! The food is great! I had a hamburger steak and it was tender and juicy. My husband had the country fried steak and he LOVED IT!!! And he is the type of person that usually gets a hamburger. Said it's the best he has ever eaten. Very clean and cozy. Powder room is very clean as well. Most definitely coming back. read more

Golden Girls Restaurant - Country morning breakfast!! Is spot on! - American Near Me - Clinton, Tennessee

Thank you for being open. We traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true.... Okay enough of the GG theme song. This local gem has been serving comfort food in Clinton and Shady Pines for over 30 years. Located just off of interstate 75 in Clinton it is only about 15 minutes from downtown Knoxville. If you are looking for good food, friendly service, and something besides a chain restaurant then you have found the right place. They serve breakfast all day too. Grab Blanche and take her out on the town. Take her to Golden Girls. read more

Golden Girls Restaurant - American Near Me - Clinton, Tennessee

This is the epitome of down home country cooking and mom & pop spot! When you first walk in, they've decorated for the current holiday and you have a nice country kitchen for cleanup and pie baking right there in the open lobby! There's a few rooms to choose from and they're very Tennessee themed, comfy and homey. The place is well worn, but also feels well loved. You're not getting any bells and whistles or fancy stuff here, but you are getting good food at a good price. It's filling and warm and delicious. The employees are friendly, not overly attentive, but get the job done. Thier pis is delicious and huge! 3 of us couldn't finish it. If you're looking for a local spot on a drive up or down 75 I'd definitely recommend this place for lunch or brunch! read more

This is some good country home cooking. Their dumplings are great and they make a mean Philly steak sandwich. They have a variety of different fresh pies and cakes for dessert daily. Customer service is always good, and people are friendly. My only dislike is that a couple of times I've had issues getting through to do a phone order. If they're busy they don't always have someone answering the phone. In those cases, I simply drive down there, but it's a bit more inconvenient if I'm wanting carry out. read more

We've been to GG a few times now, and we absolutely love it. The broasted chicken is fantastic. The corn cakes were a new thing to me, but I loved em. We go Sunday after mass and the place is always packed with friendly smiling people and an equally helpful and friendly staff. read more

Haven't been here in years so decided to try it again...food was just so so and not very tasty..will not be going back.. I felt I was mislead by the good reviews ..should have looked at the bad ones first. read more

Holy $&!(, this place is named after the greatest show ever. Holy $()$&, it is actually staffed by four golden girls behind the counter. I tried to dare my husband to walk in and ask which one was the slutty one (per the Burt Reynolds episode) but he had no idea what I was talking about. Also I don't think the ladies behind the counter really gave a crap about the TV show. We stopped by because we saw the sign off the side of the road and maybe we thought we could get a t-shirt. When we asked about a gift shop the nice lady (the Rose of the group) showed us a little spot in front of the store where they sold birdhouses. Ok, so cute but not what we are looking for. So then we decided to grab some food and though this was not our initial intention, let me tell you I am so glad we did. The club sandwiches here were phenomenal. Sky high and filled with bacon and really good turkey. It was all super cheap we also had a really good pecan pie here and everything came under $20. I wouldn't recommend the cucumber salad here because basically it sat in vinegar so long it is sour pickle salad. Only slightly bad part is that we got rung up by the Dorothy of the group, she was slightly curmudgeonly, who wouldn't respond to any questions. Otherwise this place is golden!!! read more
