I am a young man who likes to visit restaurants and this time I found this one interesting, so I went for breakfast and when I arrived I saw the atmosphere all clean and peaceful, since I arrived they attended me well and without waiting and the breakfast is very delicious, so if I go again.

Great place! While it's a bit dated inside, it's cozy and welcoming. Food was awesome! Great price. All staff were extremely friendly and kind. Just a note - they are cash ONLY. They do have an ATM on-site though, along with several neighboring businesses.

★★★★★ 5.0 David “DC” Small · Dec 2022

My wife and I stopped in for breakfast and had a really good time. The food was great, the hostess/waitress was fun and personable, and it's great to see her interaction with the regulars. The restaurant decor is a little dated, but it fits the feel and the food and I wouldn't change hardly a thing. This is the diner we've been missing since moving to New Jersey.

The staff is exceptionally friendly and a lot of fun to converse with. The menu offers basic breakfast fare but the taste is not basic at all. The eggs are genuinely tasty, the portion are generous and they are happy to accommodate even the most particular eaters like myself. Most omelet dishes come with a yummy pancake on the side which is a nice little nod toward customer appreciation on their part. We have a good meal and good time every time we visit Golden River.
