They're accepting TOAST orders yet they're closed?! And no way to get my $17 lunch meal refunded from TOAST. Phone number is disconnected & no way to make contact. Although they say they're open on all platforms, in fact is a lie as their restaurant is closed. Restaurant is closed, mid day on a weekday at 12:20pm. What a scam! Do not order through online or with them unless making sure that their restaurant is open & serving food. And number listed below doesn't work. Be careful! It shouldn't be like this & hopefully I'm able to get a refund. There's no way to contact restaurant to dispute this. Avoid Golden Steer read more

The original Golden Steer was cafeteria food Seniors appeared the be the only one dining here. I assume that is why the place closed, the customer base aged out and they couldn't sustain themselves. When the place reopened with a new team, you could immediately see that the prices were high, portions were small and the quality was questionable. They chocked the life out of this place and threw a last minute hail mary with a $20 rib eye meal. This is a high traffic area and the right person could do well putting a decent diner in this place. read more

OK, I've gotta be honest. We didn't try the food, but I checked out other people's plates as they went past me, but I definitely decided with the overpriced and lack of what I saw appealing wise and the cleanliness of this location or shall I say lack of cleanliness as well as the dirty bathrooms. It gave such a terrible ghetto ambience that I got out of there. We stayed and hung out for an event about an hour, but I had to leave. There was not a lot of Friendliness from the staff or the bar staff matter fact I didn't even order a drink. I wouldn't even drink a glass of water. I was too worried about getting food poisoning so sending prayers out to those who ate the food. read more

The wait person was very nice and attentive. That's the two stars. Filet was fatty/grisly and cost $55. So very much not worth it. Baked potato was okay but minimal butter, cold bacon on top, too much cheese and no green onion. Asked for medium rare and it came out blue. Steamed veggies were just that. Tasteless. Bar side sounded busy-ish. Restaurant side was empty. We were the only ones. Always wanted to try the place. Will not be back. read more

The food was not really good, the service was very good; friendly wait staff. The ambiance, well to be honest I'm not sure what to say about it...it's like a mix of a restaurant and a bar but no real set of characteristics. There's a small stage for bands or dancing but nothing else to keep bar goers occupied. Mostly regulars go here. The management, well so we had the big plate and to be fair, it sucked. We complained and the manager only gave us 1/2 off that item, which is kind of poor and it was communicated to us via the server and not the manage. Just poor in my opinion. The only silver lining was the Greek fries and hummus and baba ganoosh (sic) were good. I ain't coming back and I suggest you do to, oh and if you like your old fashions? Don't bother with this one... read more

The food is sub par and generic. The ambience is very much a diner feel and the service is what u expect.

I have had the pleasure of eating at the Golden Steer and ordering from The Comfort Zone Restaurant during their Pop-Up, and the food was amazing. The oxtails melt in your mouth and the macaroni and cheese is so cheesy and flavorful, that it is a meal within itself. I vote to have them at the Golden Steer FULL TIME. read more

This restaurant is under new ownership and reopened. The menu is simple and no frills, they also have breakfast. I ordered the Salad bar, New York Steak with veggies and a Baked potato. The steak was good, a lower quality of New York steak but it was good. I ordered it medium well and only one corner was tough. The seasoning was spot on and no steak sauce was needed. The Baked potato was overcooked. The veggies were steamed and good. The salad bar was surprisingly good and I'd add it on again. Full bar as well. It was a night with a few other diners. She was patient until our 3rd showed up. The interior looks the same from the 60s and I hope they never change it. As they get their foothold from being open for a while the steaks will improve. They have live music and I can't wait to go back. read more

For today, I am really giving Golden Steer 3 1/2.... for now. I say this because The new owners just re-opened. They did some remodeling and are still working on some finishes. They are making the back banquet room into the live music and dancing room. It will have a separate bar from the main restaurant. This will be a very nice addition to the restaurant. They are also still staffing the restaurant. However, we were greeted by friendly hostess. We met the new owner and he and his wife seem very nice. I really wish them great success. The food was average. But since they are just getting started, I believe they could easily make it great. I had simple Greek fries and calamari. My husband had seasoned chicken wings. Although they were average, he enjoyed them because they didn't have any breaded and tender. My dad had the fish n' chips. He loved the fries because there wasn't any seasoning. He said the fish was really good. My friend d had the Chicken strips and fries. She said the chicken was tender and not over breaded. All in all, the food was good. We did enjoy a cocktail to start. The lounge area (where we sat) was busy and buzzing. It was good to see people returning after the restaurant had been closed from the previous owners. I do recommend giving this restaurant a try and support the new owners and re-opening. read more

I stopped for lunch at 1:30 pm today, Wednesday, interested in trying their ribs. Looking over the menu, however, I was put off by their prices. A full rack of ribs dinner was $38.00. A half rack was $27. Even a 1/4 rack (meat only as a side) was $9.50... is that 2 ribs or 3?). I settled for the Roasted Turkey dinner which was $16.99. It came with all the trimmings - mashed potatoes, dressing, steamed vegetables, cranberry sauce, and... ... a single slice of turkey breast 1/4" thick and, gravy all over to create a beautiful presentation (see pictures). The vegetables (carrot, broccoli, zucchini and green pepper) were "al dente" and were delicious. The single slice of turkey was sitting on a cup of dressing, next to 2 cups of mashed potatoes, with maybe a 1/2 cup of gravy. The meal was a heavy carb load, with 3-4 oz of turkey... hardly a value at $17! The waitress asked me if she could close out my ticket in the middle of my meal, because she was done for the day. She was charming and very grateful; I was happy to accommodate her... ...but I'm just saying, this was not a great meal experience, it was okay, but expensive. ...very nice interior decor and plenty of parking. 3-stars read more

This place used to be good, not anymore! Stopped for lunch and ordered a California chicken sandwich. Not sure what they call what I got, but there were a couple chicken nuggets, an unidentifiable small piece of really overcooked meat, a piece of burnt bacon, and some Swiss cheese on my sandwich. I'm not sure that I have ever sent food back, but I couldn't eat whatever this thing was. We were the only customers there, which should have been a dead giveaway, but we were there for an hour and 40 minutes. I will never be back, think twice before you drop in! read more

Thechicken wings were over-cooked and the fries cold. Waifer was dropping plates on rhe table without verifying whose order it belonged to. Also, the menu price sheet was incorrect, as well as the advertised menu. read more

We attempted to make reservations for a party of 8. The didn't take reservations, but told us there would be no problem with seating us, which was true. However, what they didn't tell us that they no longer served meat, only seafood. The restaurant stank and there were no patrons inside, other that a couple at the bar. It was very dark inside and you couldn't tell how clean or dirty is was. We decided to pass. If your name indicates you have steak, you should have it. read more

Ok... well shame on me for not leaving any reviews earlier... seriously. When this was owned by Jim Berrios and family, you could ALWAYS expect great service and comfort food style meals. Now with that said, and now an exchange of ownership... I am super excited and somewhat surprised to say... outside of seeing Jim's face greeting and checking in on people... nothing has changed. Same great service, same delicious foods!! I'm thinking they've kept the same cooks and servers. This definitely has such a family feel to it, from the familiar faces when being greeted, to such comforting meals whether it be breakfast (my favorite is the corned beef hash and various omelettes), to lunch or dinner meals. It's all great! We've been here for just about every occasion. We've rented out the back banquet room for my father in law's 70th birthday party, enjoyed Sunday brunches, karaoke nights, and of course, for breakfast,lunch, or dinner. Often times I grab a gift card for my parents to enjoy, as this is one of if not their favorite place. The servers have gotten to know them very well, and even check in on them if it's just my wife and I dining without them. One last thing.... if you're not much of a dessert person, that's fine... but if by chance you're a Carrot Cake fan... hot damn are you in for a heck of mouthwatering and taste bud explosion experience!!! The Tropical Carrot Cake is Devine, Splendid, Decadent, and the absolute best carrot cake I've ever experienced! No joke! Anyway, I will close with this: hospitable and great service, coffee cup is always full, food is comforting, prices are right sized... and as always... enjoy and Happy Eating!! read more

Frozen steak, overcooked TWICE! Meat balls were frozen and cooked maybe 3 or 4 times. Dry and no flavor. Steamed veggies were basically raw, which is better than mush. They have Greek food on the menu, and probably are more familiar with that cuisine. They should abandon steak and stick to what they know. read more

Terrible service. Limited menu. They advertise a rib eye steak but they're always out of it.

Catfish Corner I. The building was the only reason I stopped by. Fish is great close to home o Love it stop on by you won't be disappointed

Good value. Recieved a healthy portion of eggs, hashbrowns, with 6 oz prime rib & toast. Western ambiance is a comforting through back. Seating in the booths is very comfortable. We'll be back and recommend to others! read more

Breakfast time! My son choose this place! Unsure what to expect. The staff is really nice. He took our drink orders, then came back to take our food order. I ordered the senior pancake with a hashbrown side. Let me tell you, that pancake was so big! And the hash brown was big too! Not what I expected.....Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but most places, give seniors tiney portions. The pancake was big, fluffy and it was good! So was my hashbrowns and bacon. No complaints about this place at all. read more

We happened to be in the area of Kent, WA. and decided to stop by Golden Steer. I had read that they had a good prime rib, so I called to see if they serve it for breakfast and sure enough... #11 includes a 6 oz prime rib with hash browns, 2 eggs and toast for $17.19. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by the hostess, who sat us promptly. Our server, Carrie, was spectacular! She was friendly, efficient and checked up on us often, without being intrusive. The restaurant reminded me of a Sizzler in appearance and somewhat in their menu items as well. There appeared to be a lot of local regulars there, which is always a good sign! The restaurant is big and seemed to have 2 sides to it (the bar area and the dining area). The booths were very comfortable and the environment was equally inviting. Now on to the food! My prime rib breakfast was delicious! It had a wonderful seasoning on it and it was cooked to my liking (medium rare). The sunny side-up eggs were also done nicely, and the hash browns were crispy to a T. Prices seemed to be on par with similar restaurants, but what really made this restaurant stand out was the service. It's the type of hospitality service that you would get back in the good ol' days! I would definitely stop by again if I were in the area. If you like prime rib, you can't go wrong here. read more

My wife and I both enjoyed the 22oz T-Bone dinner special we ordered. The steak was cooked exactly how we wanted and was flavorful and tender. The salad bar that came with our entree was excellent as well. We also appreciate Mykah's excellent service that further enhanced our overall experience! We'll definitely be back to try their breakfast offering. read more

TLDR/ Atmosphere: Cozy, Service: Exemplary, Cleanliness: Clean as whistle, Food: Delicious, Verdict: A Must Go! Seriously, disregard what you thought you knew about this place any get on down here now! After avoiding this place like the plague for years, I heard they changed ownership. My husband and I decided to give the new owners a chance to win back our patronage where the old owners failed. Suffice to say, they have succeeded, what once was a dilapidated relic from the past has been transformed into the nostalgic local institution that it always should have been. The staff we encountered on our Sunday afternoon date were courteous, efficient, and knowledgeable. Jesús, our server, was willing to accommodate our dietary restrictions and substitutions and knew the menu well. Gabi, the food runner, took our drink orders and stopped by a few times to check in on us and refill our beverages. Even the bus boy, German, was courteous and made sure our needs were met as he passed. I don't know what the management did to create such an awesome team culture, but you can tell everyone from the host in front to the folks running food from the back care about the customer experience and each other. It makes my heart happy to be able to say that after years of avoiding a business on the decline, Golden Steer has rallied and is making me hungry for more. While the salad bar is gone, I cannot blame the new owners, as Covid restrictions made it almost impossible to keep. The walls, decor, booths, and tables seem cleaner, as if they did a deep clean with the ownership change. The stale cigarette smell that once permeated the entire establishment has been replaced by a clean homey scent, reminiscent of family Sunday dinners growing up. As for dinner, we ordered prime rib and rib eye steak. Both were cooked correctly to order and my husband chose to get his buttered, seasoned and blackened, a great choice, as the seasoning made meat that was already tender and flavorful, even more so. We both chose salads with what can only be home made blue cheese dressing. I cannot say enough about how good the dressing was. I have tried blue cheese dressings from all price points and levels of cuisine and this, might be my favorite. Even after finishing my salad, I found myself wishing for a few more bites (which for a seasoned carnivore is a feat in and of itself). I chose a loaded baked potato as my side, and my hubby elected to upgrade to seasonal vegetables. I know what you are think, seasoned veggies, an upgrade, but no seriously, the vegetable medley filled with peppers, carrots, celery, broccoli, and cauliflower was a splendid accompaniment to his steak and was steamed exquisitely well. As an aside, I ordered the largest option for prime rib, as I planned to have leftovers, but then I read that you can upgrade to as large of a cut as you want for a set price per ounce. This intrigues me greatly and will factor into my order when I return. We ordered carrot cake for dessert, and the rustic and homemade delicacy was a splendid finish to a satisfying and relaxed afternoon visit. I cannot stress enough how floored I am by the change in atmosphere, culture, and customer service that I have experienced today. I wish that every time I went to a restaurant, it could conclude with a feeling like this. I left feeling satisfied but more than that, I left feeling valued. I am going to return, I am going to bring my family and friends, and I am going to keep coming back. Golden Steer, you have won me over, a normally harsh critic, and made me, not just a customer, but an acolyte. This is my steakhouse, and it should be yours too. Do yourself a favor, try on a pair of cowboy boots, saddle up your horse, or hop in the car, and skedaddle on down, you'll be glad you did. The cake is delectable. read more

Arrived yesterday morning at 7:54am, another couple was there peeking in the window and trying to open the door. Banners hanging outside says open for breakfast at 7am and open light turned on.

We used to come here all the time once we found out there were new owners and were hesitant but we gave them a try since they just re-opened it was not a good introduction we walked out. 8 months later we give it a second try because it's local and let me tell you we were right. First the bathrooms were disgusting water leaking all over the floor and only the handicap stall working. Then the food came out and was 1 not what I ordered they said we were out I said so u just bring me something random. 2 the quality of the fries burnt and the burger undercooked. Sorry but not again we left so sad read more

This was sold back in 2020 but lost customers to the point it closed in 2023. Recently reopened with new ownership so I had to try it. Nothing has changed on the outside. Inside there is a new floor in the entryway. The rest of the inside was the same decor and booths that have been there for years. It was a little chilly. I was greeted by one of the owners, the wife, who was also my server. I didn't care for the background music and was told to sit wherever I wanted. I picked a booth. There were a few patrons there as well. I judge a place by their chicken fried steak so went with my standby. It came with hash browns, scrambled eggs and choice of bread(sourdough). I was pleasantly surprised. The helping was plentiful and had great eye appeal. Tasted great but could have had a better sourdough. All in all I was pleased! Menu was smaller than before but prices were in line with most places. I would give them a try. I saw a sign saying there was a lunch buffet from 11-??? And the bar open 2pm-2am. Local couple trying to make a go of things. Give them a try! read more

Such a change under the new owners. If you look at my prior reviews you will see how bad it used to be. After they reopened I heard that service and food was so much better. It really is!!! Wonderful food and great service. The food has gone up in quality substantially and that is saying a lot as the food was already really good. I can't recommend this place high enough. read more

This was the worst meal we had. I have gone years ago but apparently the original owners sold it. My prime rib was a tough steak. No horseradish sauce frozen veggies and a cold baked potato. We paid 87.00 just so disappointing. Don't go run people run. read more

OMG...!! I CAN'T --We took a friend for her birthday-- I'd been there few years ago and it was amazing! They had THICK STEAKS THEY HAD RIBS I even took pictures. TODAY I took a friend for her BIRTHDAY...The FIRST SIGN WAS...there was no one in sight when we walked in. Then when we were seated, we were then told.. they didn't have HALF THE MENU!!!! When we asked for something on the menu we were THEN TOLD " WE ARE OUT OF THAT". How do you not have prime rib at a steak house? We then ordered "coconut shrimp" which was under cooked and wasn't coconut shrimp. My friend ordered a draft beer-- none of the drafts worked they only had bottles... WARM BOTTLED BEER!! The steaks were thin AF and were under cooked with no sear! BASICALLY RARE! The waitress tried her best with what she had to work with and was very attentive. THAT IS ALL... read more

Tried this place for my husband's birthday since it's been around so long. Big mistake. His steak was very bland, no seasoning at all. Mashed potatoes were a boxed mix. Clam chowder tasted like potato soup. Turkey dinner was thick sliced deli turkey. Steamed veggies had no seasoning either. We should have know something was up when we arrived on a Saturday evening and there was one other couple in there who seemed to know the waitress and that's it. Unfortunately, one of the worst restaurant experiences we've had in a long time. Very reminiscent of TV dinners, school cafeteria, or bad nursing home food. read more

If i could give this 0 stars, i would. There was green and black things floating in the drinks and the pancakes tasted like they weren't done but i had to chew it like it was a steak. The breakfast potatoes were burnt to a crisp and werent edible and the gravy for the biscuits and gravy had the consistency of jelly. I will never ever come here again. The service was nice but slow. read more

We haven't been here for almost 4 years. Knew they just got new owners. My husband wanted steak for dinner and we decided to try it just to see if it was worth going to again. We both got steak and I got a mountain of mashed potatoes with mine, they were good. My husband ordered the shrimp skewers on the side and they were big sized. Well worth the extra $7. They gave us a sampling of the spaghetti with some pesto and some marinara. Both sauces were flavorful. We will try it again, and since we used to come for breakfast usually, we'll try that out too. read more

We used to live in the area and we were super excited to visit one of our old favorite places. My husband ordered a meat lovers omelette with hash browns. I ordered Eggs Benedict with hash browns. The hash browns tasted like oil and grease with no potato flavor. The hollandaise sauce on my eggs Benedict was separated so what I was served was congealed greasy mess. I would have brought it to the attention of the server but she disappeared and never once checked on us after dropping off our food. I am very sad to have gone out to breakfast hungry and leave just as hungry. read more

I keep getting burned by this place. I guess I just want to have a good, old fashion restaurant in my neighborhood. I love the big booths, the refills of coffee, the mix of young and old, the big, plastic menus. But this place just never delivers. The food, on a good day is mediocre. And they, unfortunately do not have many good days. I went in today for breakfast. I ordered a cheese omelet. Basic, right? Like one of the first things you would learn how to perfect as an entry level line-cook...right? Nope. Giant, heavy, lumpy omelet. unmelted strips of American cheese on top. inside, more sliced, unmelted cheese. Not even single slices, either. like a stack of American cheese slices, chopped into strips. Completely unmelted inside a blanket of warm egg. Unmelted to the point where I could pick the stack of cheese up, and still peel them apart. It was $14.99. It also seems busy AND empty here all the time. I've tried the whole gamete of stuff here. The prime rib, the burgers, the steaks, the breakfast. Like I said I WANT to like it. But the quality and execution of the meals, coupled with the hefty price on everything is forcing me to scratch this one off my list. The staff has always been great here. My server today was excellent. I think she could tell I was disappointed by my meal. I never complain or send anything back when I'm dining out. As a fellow industry person, I know how it goes. Anyway. I had a lousy breakfast today, and I won't be back. read more
