So. Ive been here 3 times in the past week. With different groupings of people. It is a large menu, of mostly comfort foods. Thus far, everything has been well made, good quality, large portions, and a good value. In short, it is everything a neighborhood diner ought to be. Service is prompt and friendly. If youve never been, I highly recommend.*Diner atmosphere. Good for families, friends and established couples. Not the place for a first date.
I recently ordered online for a breakfast burrito. Ordering was simple and when I went for pick up, everyone from the servers to the hostesses were so nice and attentive. My burrito was fantastic. So yummy and fresh. I really appreciated the herbs in it instead of your typical plain burritos. The large fruit cup that came with the burrito was also very fresh. Two thumbs up for this mom and pop, family owned restaurant. Support your small businesses!
My whole family loves this place, the food is perfectly seasoned and the portions are so fulfilling. I got the salmon dinner and it was buttery soft, my son got the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and had plenty to take home. The lentil soup is hearty just like homemade 😋 this place is a Westminster classic 👌
First of all the location is great, close to the freeway 22, you have to make a u turn to reach the parking lot. It is worth the effort though, it is a great place to eat. The food is very good, I can recommend the tuna sandwich, which was delicious and very fresh, my friend had a pastrami sandwich which was actually to big for her to finish, also very good. I would definitely recommend the place for the good food, the excellent service and the reasonable prices. I would say keep it up Golden West diner, we enjoyed it very much. We certainly will be back and I will add some pictures to this review.
Old and kinda run down but still appealing to me since I grew up watching movies set in old style diners. I would give this place 3.5 stars. They have indoor/outdoor dining. Service was excellent, our server Lucy was one of the most accomodating servers Ive ever met. For the country fried steak, they give you the option of chicken or beef. The beef wasnt available so I went with the chicken and it was just okay. Ordered the corned beef hash as well and it tasted exactly like the hormel or any grocery brand corned beef hash you get from the grocery store so not worth getting. What stood out to me was their coffee, hash browns and french toast. I would come back again for the french toast.
From the moment you enter this place the waiters give you an agreeable feeling. Very warm stuff, it is a friendly place to to go out with your friends or with your date. Excellent cooking, qualified chief cook and stuff, modest price and courteous service. Highly recommended.
Kind personal, clean place, nice family restaurant .
I like the avocado omelette cooked well, with crispy bacon. Whenever I go to Goldenwest, the staff goes out of their way to see that the omelette is perfect. On occasions when the bacon has been under cooked, staff have ensured the problem was promptly corrected.Staff have always been friendly and attentive to customer needs. I have noticed that they have a lot of repeat customers.On the negative side, while other restaurants are glad to substitute fruit for bread, Goldenwest does not do this
Terrible serviceTry Harrys down the street way better service and food
This place has GREAT breakfast!Stayed at the Motel 6 next door for the weekend....The Goldenwest is right next door. I wandered in here looking for a good basic breakfast, and it was HERE!Good coffee....ATTENTIVE wait staff, and a great Meat Lovers breakfast of three eggs, bacon,ham,sausage and good hash browns.A good basic breakfast, but at a time its becoming hard to just get a good breakfast and great coffee without a fuss or wading through hipster trendy stuff. WILL come back at some other hours...because the specials and other menu items sounded REAL good :-)
Have been here a couple of times only but food is absolutely delicious and the service is so warm and friendly
Super Duper Food st low low price. The Server, she was awesome. Keep it up.
Moved in down the street and this was the closest spot to eat. Food was good and the waitress whos helped me both times is awesome! Dteak sandwich and the golden west burger I totally recommend!
This used to be a Spires or Norms back in the day. Still a great place to eat. Miss the lower prices of chain restaurants. They could at least offer senior or veteran discounts.
The food is good. All but one server is good also.
This is where you want to come if you want good old tasty dinner food. The interior decoration brings one back to the 70s. One can also find menu items that can’t find in the modern restaurants. It is our first time there to meet up with our friends who live nearby. It was so difficult to choose one thing because all look very good. We had different dishes and all like it. Food were yummy with good portion.We plan to go back when we will be in the neighborhood again!
Very good service the servers all need a hand over all the work they did it was great thank u..
My porkchops plate with zucchini and fries was delicious.
I go this place regularly good food good environments waitresses are very friendly
This place is a hidden gem. Drove past there a million times and never knew. They have awesome breakfast specialsThe food is great and the service is fast and top notch. If you go, sit in Rosas section, she is the best! I definitely recommend trying them.
Service here is always outstanding, and the food is delicious. Everything Ive ordered here, ranging from the breakfast special to the patty melts and burger,s has been fresh and is always hot when it arrives. I drink a lot, and typically have to ask for refills whenever a server pases by, but the wait staff here is always on top of it, often bring refills before Im actually out.
I have eaten here lots of times but came for breakfast today at my friend’s suggestion. Coffee was freshly brewed and they had vanilla creamer, my favorite.I ordered the veggie omelette with house potatoes, my friend got a ham omelette no cheese. Lots of meat in hers, lots of veggies in mine.Potatoes were delicious but unfortunately they were only luke warm.Cathy our waitress was excellent.
Ive been coming here for almost a month ordering Arnold Palmers w/usually Texas steak.The service is always top notch,the food is always the freshest,the grilled chilis always the best.You guys always make me feel welcomed.See you guys on Friday.
This diner is AMAZING for breakfast. Weve been here daily for breakfast during our trip and have thoroughly enjoyed our meals and our service. I can attest that the French Toast, Corned Beef Hash and Eggs and the Steak Omelet (sub tomatoes for onions) are all delicious options. Our waitress (blonde girl on the right side of the restaurant, I didnt get her name and no name tag) was fantastic and I dont think I ever did empty my coffee cup during my visit. I should have taken photos prior to starting to eat but it was too good to wait 😂
The best breakfast in town. I missed this place due to covid lockdowns. The staff gave me and my husband a warm welcome. Even with our mask on, they knew who we were. Now that is great customer service. I love their breakfast omelettes. When I want a light breakfast I order the 2 egg breakfast meal. Which consists of two eggs, potatoes and toast. Keep up the good work.
Yeah,Spires with a twist,good food great prices. Ill be back.
Standard diner, decent food. Great for a Wednesday family dinner.
Is nice great service everything was good I enjoyed 😉
Very nice people food was okay hard to eat and smell In and Out making yummy burgers!!!
The food is good the waiter is terrible. The waitress is great. Hope you sit in her section.
Surprisingly awesome. We were just hungry and wanting to be served. But our waitress rocked. I mean the food was good. I had chicken fried steak dinner. Asked for brown gravy and got it on my mashed potatoes, but got sausage gravy on my CFS.. 🤣 Oh well, I love gravy. Hub got a Monte Cristo and was completely gaga over it. He asked for well done fried and they were perfect. But the best part was the wait service. Our drinks were kept full, everything we wanted appeared a few seconds after asking. Very cool early dinner. Oh and the windows are full of family specials!
Goldenwest Diner surprised me. The service was good and the place was clean.
Excellent service good food 👌 except the prices too high for the type of food .
I highly recommend Rib Eye Benedict and fresh made rice pudding. All the people that run the Goldenwest Diner are amazingly awesome
Very nice cozy place to eat. The staff is nice people. The food is ok!!
Todd breakfast specials. We have a great server that kept our coffee full. Only down fall one single bathroom. There should be a bathroom on both sides. They have good specials available each day.
Food was at a level 3 only. I ordered the half sandwich and soup. Tuna sandwich not moist enough and was dry. Cheese and broccoli soup was bland and barely green specks.
I love this place! They prepare decent food, they have a nice menu, The cook in that spot is very experienced, I love a lot tasting all their dishes. The food is consistently fresh and tasty, the attitude towards the clients is very good too. I visit often this place and I not even once was disappointed. I recommend it to all.
We were passing by and saw the breakfasts specials posted in the window and went inside to try it, and were disappointed to know that specials are only on weekdays and it was a Saturday. Anyway, since we were already there, we try to get breakfast but there was poor service and just the regular plates like any other diner. Prices a little high as well
Great turkey, ortega chile, swiss cheese on sour dough sandwich! Good service. Even gave separate checks to a large table of people. Good parking, accessible, freeway-close. Reasonably priced. Good dining experience.
Excellent customer service 👏
Menu said soup combo with grilled chicken salad and avocado but waitress said that was a typo so it wasnt available. To me it should be corrected or told when you order not when you receive your food. We have been coming here since I was a child and I a senior now.
Good soup! Very friendly and personable staff.
Customer service was great no hassles about not wearing mask as you enter food was great
Nice place, good food but to expensive
This place was horrible. I would rather starve then eat there. I have a bad taste in my mouth. They served me a burger that was absolutely raw. The outside was heated maybe 30secs. The price doesnt constitute the meager portions given. The staff did bare minimal an I had a hard time getting my $ back. Dont waste your time
Very good service and food!
They have patio dining open. The food was very good. I had the pork chop dinner. They were cooked just right. The staff was awesome. Making the best of a bad situation with lots of humor.
Just a quick snack.
Good food, good service, and pleasant ambience.
Great biskets and gravy
VERY EXPENSIVE. Our server was inattentive. But the food quality was good.
I like this place a lot better than the spires that they took over. So far every meal Ive had here was really good. Service is great, prices are a bit high for me though
Good and cozy place to enjoy good breakfast.
Great service and yummy food.
Always great service. good selections visit often and rarely unhappy but meatloaf sucked other than that really good food
Hours of operation online need to be updated- new Covid hrs SUCK!!
Been here before but their service was very bad only one waitress it took them a very long time just to get our food and drinks hope they get better.
Great family dinner place!
I was actually at motel 6 next door
Good food good prices some of the best soup lve ever had. Very nice people who work there.
Very attentive servers and food is what you expect from a diner.
Delicious as always! Love the service and the people here.
Very good breakfast choices. Will come again.
We’re staying the motel6 next door and decided to give this place a try since it looked like it had good food. I placed an online order and for an hour knew nothing! I walked over with my boyfriend to ask about my order I had placed over an hour ago and the hostess looked at me with fear and asked me if I wanted her to put in the order. I told her to cancel it because I wasn’t going to wait more time. Also I called the restaurant several times with no answer it just gave me a busy signal. Don’t order here if you want to wait a long time for food. Nobody was helping the hostess and she looked flustered. There should be someone I side and outside cause that is so ridiculous. I used to work in food service and never did that happen to me.
Great food, tasty cooked well, cant go wrong, great service too
🥰
Great food and service high recommended good place to take the family!
Decent food but a little pricey for what you get.
Goldenwest Diner has the best deals for breakfast dinner and the food is excellent
Great Hospitality, food was also great.
From the minute you walk it, it feels like home. The staff is super friendly and nice. They sat us quick and our food came out quick as well! Everything tasted delicious! Isabel is a very sweet person. I would recommend this place to all my family and friends!
Friendly staff & great service ..yummy fried chicken/ family packs are a fantastic deal
1st time coming here. Dined in. Place is clean and seems to follow CDC guidelines during the pandemic.Service was good and fast.Ordered the Eggs Benedict with hash brown and was good. Eggs were poached perfectly and hollandaise sauce tasted good. Price avg is a little bit more than other similar restaurants like Dennys or IHOP but still worth the price. I recommend this place and willing to go back next time Im in the area to eat.
Javier is the best waiter there. Food is always delicious and very reasonable.
Excelent service, delicious food, family oriented. Come and try it yourself.
Great customer service. Food came out hot and fresh
Delicious breakfast and good service!!!.
Easily one of the worst meals I’ve had. The food had zero seasoning. It was bland and over-cooked. The only flavor was oil. I had the “steak dinner” and each item on the plate was a different temperature, ranging from cold oily vegetables to a lukewarm, dry baked potato. The salad was comically awful. A pile of iceberg with a handful of croutons and two slices of cucumber is not a salad. The “chef” should be fired. The only reason I’m giving this two stars is because the service was friendly.
Loved it! Good Quality and great prices.
Great food, very reasonable prices, friendly service. What more can anoyone ask for? They have outdoor dining in the parking lot now. Weve eaten there twice since they reopened.
The worst food in Orange County and they overcharge you. its a clip joint. Dont go there. Go across the street to the other one.
Had a nice dinner outside. Popular place. Service was great. Only 1 problem. Ketsup, salt pepper, A1 containers didnt seemed to get cleaned off between each usage.
Great service and food, and you get hefty servings for very reasonable prices!! Love it here!!
I ordered Italian sausage with pasta and to my surprise they give me clam chowder and garlic bread. The garlic bread was too flat and came to me cold. The pasta was a lot and tasted like supreme pizza and to mention it had all the topping of a supreme pizza. Overall the customer service is exceptional but the food ingredients could be better and the temperature of the food could be better controlled. They probably serve better breakfast
The service was incredible. The staff was very friendly honestly nothing like I have experienced before. I ordered an omelet and could barely finish it. Not only was it made to my expectations but having leftovers is the best! The coffee was nice and hot and they have flavored creamer! Menu is endless with so many option you cant go wrong!
Nice diner 60s music plays softly pretty peaceful.
Good food, prices good,,
Just wasnt for me
