    the interior of the restaurant

    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.

    Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream They didn't have much selection for drinks. Nothing more than coffee, soda, or this.

    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.

    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.

    Visited this place for a quick breakfast after my appointment at Corneal Laser & Eye Institute on Frank W Burr Blvd. Place had an old diner feel. The food was great, and the service was fast and friendly!

    Golden Grill is my absolute favorite place to eat breakfast in Bergen county. Quick and friendly service with great food at fair prices. Really can't be beat.

    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.

    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.

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

    I love the food at this location specifically because they cook with wood chips so you can taste…read morethat Smokey flavor. I usually come here for the steaks but they stopped taking cooking temperature requests.. So now I just get the Buger instead of a steak.. My Cheeseburger came out perfectly, great flavor all around and cooked perfectly to my liking. Fries were great as well.. I had to start with their huge baked potato which did not disappoint at all. Actually it's my favorite Baked potato on earth so far. My friend had the half chicken which looked amazing and tasted as good as it looked. Our waiter, Arron, was very attentive and accommodating throughout our meal. That was pleasant. And as far as the restaurant atmosphere, it's always been a great and perfect experience. They have really nice lounge style music playing lightly in the background, so no loud music blasting in your ears. Overall it was a great time and meal. I'll be back soon. Alright yall! Have a great one! -Ray

We appreciate the ambience and the vibe of the place, despite hardly ever dining at chain, mall establishments. Important to note that our server Lauren was a pro and helped make our visit so pleasant.

    Great spot ! Don't sleep on it Service by Siobhan 5 stars…read more Excellent food and solid spirit/beer selection

    I was excited to check out this local sports bar in Lodi after seeing all of the positive reviews…read more Honestly, it was a little underwhelming for me. Maybe I just ordered the "wrong things". Either way, my experience didn't live up to the hype. I visited on a late Saturday night. There's a parking lot behind the restaurant. The entrance can be tricky to find... It's located in the back on the left-hand side. The exterior and interior are both pretty dark, dull, and dingy. It's not the most inviting atmosphere at first. It has a divey, industrial, and rustic vibe to it, but hey... sometimes the best food comes from places that don't look like much. So I try not to judge. It wasn't too busy, and the service was attentive. The menu has your classic American comfort food - wings, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, etc. They switch it up with daily specials like skirt steak, chicken parm, and pasta. They have a full bar with cocktails, drafts, bottled beers, can ciders, and wines. You can even do a four-beer flight and make it a tasting experience! I ordered: *Dark & Stormy Cocktail [Goslings Dark Rum, Ginger Beer, Lime Juice] ($14) - Not the best one I've had, but it was solid. If you like ginger and rum, this is a must try. The dark rum has hints of caramel which works really well with the spicy ginger beer. The lime juice adds a citrus kick, so it's a really refreshing drink. *Margarita ($18) - As a tequila girly, I've had my fair share of margaritas. This one didn't do it for me. It was a little too sour/tart, which overpowered everything else. *Cubano Sandwich [includes roast pork, black forest ham, swiss cheese, pickles, mayo, and mustard with side of fries] ($16) - I wasn't expecting an authentic Cubano from an American sports bar, so my expectations weren't super high. This was good, but not great. The pork was flavorful, but could've been more tender. I wish there were more pickles and mayo for that extra tangy crunch. The bread was pressed a little too hard, so it was a bit tough to bite through. *Double Blackened Chicken Breast Sandwich [includes pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo, red peppers, and red onion on brioche with side of fries] ($18) - This was huge and filling! They did not skimp out on the protein. The brioche bun was soft and buttery. The chicken was well seasoned - smoky and savory with crispy charred edges. BUT... to my disappointment, the inside was dry and not juicy at all. Another small issue was the ratio - There was so much chicken compared to the rest of the toppings, so it wasn't the most cohesive sandwich. It really needed more cheese and chipotle mayo to tie all the flavors together. The fries were the best part - thick, crispy, and golden! It's decent bar food, just not the best I've had. Nothing was bad, but nothing was great or memorable. For the price, I didn't feel it was worth it. I do appreciate that their food is served piping hot and fresh. To be fair, this is probably the perfect spot for beer lovers. I happen to not be one, lol. The burger options sound popular and promising too. I'd consider giving them another shot for Happy Hour or to try a burger, but it's not at the top of my list. Just because it's not the sports bar for me, doesn't mean it won't be the one for you.
