After heading into Jersey to run some errands, my family and I were looking for a solid breakfast spot and stumbled upon Golden Grill Restaurant through Yelp. While street parking was tough to find, we discovered a parking lot behind the building with a rear entrance that leads right into the restaurant--a huge plus for convenience! It is a charming, smaller diner-style establishment with a very welcoming vibe. We were greeted with a smile and seated immediately. The service was prompt; they had water and coffee at the table right away. For our meals, I went with the Waffle Deluxe with two eggs and bacon, while my father-in-law had the French Toast Deluxe with eggs and bacon. My wife ordered the omelette with mozzarella and sausage, which came with a side of home fries. Everything we ordered was delicious, came out hot, and was very reasonably priced. It was a great find for a family breakfast, and we will definitely be coming back the next time we're in the area. read more

The food was delicious Just like I asked for. The service was excellent. I called ahead and it was ready with a smile.

On 25 May 2026, my wife and I visited the Golden Grill Restaurant for lunch. Since it was Memorial Day, I asked a question to the waitress, what are you doing for the Veterans today? Her response was nothing and the owner is not here. Upon receiving our meal. The owner returned. I intern asked the waitress could I speak with him.? he came over to the table and we talked, his answer to me about Honoring the Veterans is that he would lose too much money trying to give us a discount. He only gives discounts to police and firefighters. I was definitely offended and insulted, after serving 30 years in United States Marine Corps and also being a native of New Jersey that comment was really offensive and hurtful as if we don't matter I strongly suggest that all Veterans boycott this establishment. read more

Excellent menu choices. I had 2 eggs, whiting fish and home fries. Food Servicers were on top of their game (or I should say their plate). Highly recommend this establishment. read more

I lived in this area for most of my life and just now found my way into the golden grill for a quick lunch. We were seated right away and told that the kitchen would be closing soon. Despite that, we were not rushed to choose what we wanted to eat or to rushed out the restaurant. The waitstaff was helpful in answering our questions and took good care of us. The food was good and a great value for the price. I had plenty to take home for a second meal! It's a no frills kind of diner, so don't expect anything fancy. But if you need a quick bite for a good price, this is the place to go! read more

Todays breakfast was enjoyed at The Golden Grill Restaurant in Teaneck, NJ. It's a cute breakfast nook tucked amongst a row stores and shops on a busy road in Teaneck, but the vibe is homey and comfortable. The staff is super down to earth and have this bustling little restaurant working like clockwork. The prices were great and the food was stick to your ribs good. We wound up ordering the following menu items: - chicken noodle soup - corned beef hash with eggs and grits - Smoked ham and eggs - hot chocolate read more

Quick stop for breakfast in this Jersey Diner. The place was crowded but luckily no wait. They had all the classic diner options - breakfast platters, pancakes, waffles, etc. I opted for a plate of 2 eggs over easy, with a side of home fries. My partner ordered the grilled cheese with taylor ham (which reminded me of spam). Overall a great experience, service was quick and you can't beat the price. read more

Food, Service and cleanliness. I love finding hidden gems. I used to go to a diner on Rte 4 and it was terrible.

Standard diner fare - the option for grits instead of home fries is a welcome one. And it's a mountain of grits haha.

So I wouldnt recommend this restaurant: There was over a 20 minute wait time to be seated (when we were told it would be a "two minute wait") Then it took 15 min to get a drink order Then another 20 to get a food order Then another 20 to get the actual food Then another 10 to get the bill For two people...that was ridiculous. And the restaurant was only half full when we ordered our food. It is very cheap, which reflects in the service I received. When I mentioned to the waitress that we were still waiting for our food she rolled her eyes at me. Overall very bad customer service. I will not be coming here again. read more

The Golden Grill Restaurant - Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream They didn't have much selection for drinks. Nothing more than coffee, soda, or this. - American Near Me - Teaneck, New Jersey

Classic jersey diner, come here for all your typical breakfast fare. I've been coming here for years and I never remember them disappointing. The home fries have a nice flavor that most other diners don't have. I typically get bacon and eggs over easy with whole wheat butter toast. Always delicious and always and expensive. I will forever return to this place and I hope they stay open for many years to come. read more

Well I hit the jackpot again while traveling. This old school diner, which has been here probably for 40 years, is owned by a guy that really knows how to make a great menu, great food, and exceptional service. You cannot go wrong with the Golden Grill in Teaneck New Jersey PS. I had chicken noodle soup one day, minestrone the next day, and then closed it out with a chicken Caesar wrap. All exceptional read more

The Golden Grill has been a staple for Englewood and Teaneck residents since my mom was a little. She's been enjoying breakfast here for decades, and with good reason. It's a community spot where you'll often see regulars stopping in, saying hi to friends and neighbors, or chatting with the owner. But it also draws a decent amount of non-regulars because of the great food. The place has a very welcoming ambiance and the prices are affordable. It's one of the few places I know that does grits very well, and it's also one of the few places I know that has sausage patties. Most places only ever have sausage links and I'm absolutely not a fan of them, so I love the fact that they have the patties. I've been going here for breakfast, on average about once per week with my mother for almost a year now. It's at the point where a couple of the waitresses know our "regular" orders. I almost always get two eggs, sunny side up, sausage patties, rye toast and French fries with water and coffee. In all honesty, there are times when the fries maybe don't come out fully cooked, or the coffee is maybe a little burnt, but overall the food is delicious, and I've never had a meal here that I've considered bad. I always leave feeling quite satisfied. And, it adds to the dining experience when the owner and waitstaff recognize you and interact with you like they do here. It's worth noting that M-F, you almost always will be able to find a table, but Saturdays and especially Sundays, you should get here early so you don't have to wait for a table (as with most diners on the weekend). I'm sure I'll continue to enjoy breakfasts here for many years to come! read more

The Golden grills has one of my favorite pancakes! Just like when my grandma use to make them from scratch as a kid. I really like the coffee too, nice and strong. My mom loves the grits. We like the eggs too! Service is okay could be better but not horrible. Small place buy Covid safe. Great prices. If I could i would give a 4.5 only because i think the service could be a little better. My mom and I will continue to come here. read more

Golden Grill is a warm, multi-cultural neighborhood diner. They have one round table that can fit larger parties. Otherwise, diners mostly sit either at the counter or in 4 person booths lined up in two long rows the length of the restaurant. It's never a problem for only two people to occupy a booth, even when the restaurant is busy. Owner Shimmy and the Golden Grill staff clearly want patrons to be comfortable and feel at home here. Service is fast and coffee refills are always free. They serve excellent short order food including grits, which are not easy to find in New Jersey restaurants. They also serve sage sausages, which are boiled before being pan fried, so they are greaseless. They open only for breakfast and lunch so pay attention to posted closing times. Sundays are busy so you might experience a waiting time for a table. read more

Middle of the day stopped in for lunch as had been a few times for breakfast. Both of us ordered the turkey club sandwiches which were very tasty! Real turkey breast with bacon, lettuce and tomato on whole wheat. Perfectly toasted with pickle (just as tasty) and chose coleslaw instead of fries. The coleslaw was too soupy but sandwich was delicious. Service with a smile. read more

I absolutely love this place !!! Super friendly and welcoming staff with great customer service all around. Their food taste so fresh, but its the seasoning that really makes the food. You can find pancakes , waffles french toast etc anywhere , BUT their food leaves a mark man. Makes me want to keep coming back. DEFF saving this as my go to breakfast spot. read more

Friendly service and the fluffiest pancakes I've ever had. Seems to be a popular place for locals.

I was visiting NYC and stayed just across the Hudson River in Fort Lee, NJ. I did a quick search for breakfast places in Fort Lee and found The Golden Grill which was 5 minutes from my hotel and situated in the quiet downtown area. I ordered a Spanish omelette with hash browns, an English muffin & iced tea. All of the portions were generous and the omelette was prepared just right as were the hash browns & English muffin. Service was 4 stars (not the most attentive but friendly and accommodating) I asked if they had salsa or home made hot sauce (but was told they didn't) Since I'm from Texas I just assumed they would have salsa but it's okay. The only downside is that they charge extra for iced tea refills (maybe due to the loss of business from the pandemic??) I did notice their soft drinks are canned - not fountain (I've seen that in other mom & pop style diners. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for good cafe/diner food at very reasonable prices- especially in the NYC area. read more

Great little spot where my wife and I enjoyed breakfast before heading to holy name hospital to delivery our daughter. Super close to hospital and zero issues wity parking or waiting.

Ode to Golden Grill This has been our safe haven for breakfast for the past 10 years while in NJ visiting with my in laws. We've eaten in all capacities from dining in to take out. I can't understand why I hadn't wrote a review sooner. This trip to NJ we did cooking each day for breakfast except one day age everyone wanted Golden Grill except me as I'm Vegan now. However I obliged and took orders to get everyone what they wanted while I sautéed me some veggies and beans in house. The staff and management has always been welcoming and accommodating. We've never had a real issue here so there is nothing but Love. It's sorta like Cheers, so many regulars are always here and the staff know their orders. Funny thing is, we may go about 3-4 times a year while in town and if we walk in the know what we want which is awesome. read more

The Golden Grill is a classic NJ Diner and it gives the feel of an old-timey local establishment, where you meet your neighbors and everyone knows your name. The food is delicious and is comfort food at its finest. It can get crowded because it's that popular, so plan accordingly on weekends. That being said you rarely wait more than 5 minutes for a table and the staff is attentive and friendly. The food is amazing and they even deliver! I order from work all the time. They only serve breakfast and lunch as they close at 3. But the food is fantastic, Highly recommend it!! read more

This is another spot in Teaneck I've been coming to for years (the other is Five Star Coffee Shop on Cedar Lane) and I absolutely love this place. Definitely a typical grease spoon diner. Their breakfast is my favorite to get here but I also like their lunch. They have everything: turkey sausage, grits, whiting, sardines, steak, burgers, wraps, salads,etc. The service is super friendly as well. I've never had a bad experience here. Prices have gone up over the years, but it's still super reasonable. Lots of locals here but you won't feel uncomfortable. Limited hours - only open for breakfast and lunch unfortunately. read more

The prices are very reasonable and the portions are pretty good. I just felt like the food lacked seasoning. My corned beef hash was mushy and bland. My home fries had no salt and where were the peppers and onions? I'll go back and give it another chance since it wasn't terrible. read more

Great food but the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting and disgraceful. It's a darn shame because the food was really good!

We are regulars at this down home grundge style breakfast joint! Their service is literally ALWAYS a delight, their food is big, tasty, and cheap! You come here for that greasy, classic, eggs, meat, toast, pancakes, hangover cure style morning where the coffee is-a-flowing and the food is-a-curing! Not only is this place cheap but their food is great! A little tip: they have a SERIOUS assortment of sausages not explicitly listed, definitely ask about them (the sage sausage is my go-to!). They also have a solid amount of variety on the menu- all the way through lunch. Although, I wouldn't suggest coming here if you're looking for healthier breakfast or lunch options, not to say it's all unhealthy but it just isn't that style of a diner. In conclusion, when you're craving breakfast-breakfast... you know that kind with melted, gooey, cheese and omelets so big they're spilling over your plate, Golden Grill it is! Another tip: There is parking in the back :) read more

1st Time! Found it on Yelp. Delicious home cooked breakfasts. Cheap prices, lots of food. The coffee was excellent also. Dated inside, needs work, but clean. Ladies room should definitely be renovated. Extra small, and outdated. Overall I would definitely go again if in the area. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. Best diner in town and the staff has always been so fun and kind. Food is delicious too.

I would have liked to give a worse rating. This is the second time going and having bad service. The first time I wanted to chalk it to a bad day. NOT TODAY! Their is SERVICE HORRIBLE. After arriving today I was given coffee after sitting for 10 minutes without acknowledgement from the wait staff. Then I was given coffee and told her I would give an order. The waitress asked me to hold a minute went to another table and took their order but never circled back. I then waited 15 minutes more ( Shane on me cause I was doing some work) and still no return visit. The wait staff cleaned other tables, brought coffee to other tables and even brought the order to the table next to me without any acknowledgement. I will not be going back there again. read more
