My husband and I went to Golden Brunch on a Sunday morning. When we got to our table the water pitcher from the previous diners was still on the table and stayed there for the entire meal. We ordered the Bavarian French toast and the sausage links and eggs for breakfast. The French toast was made with very standard ingrediants. The chocolate chips were literally thrown on the pancakes without any effort put into it. If a little more care and attention had been paid this could have been a great meal. Unfortunately what was memorable was the high prices we paid.

Visited Golden Brunch after seeing rave reviews on this spot. The inside has quite a bit of seating and had no wait for a Sunday morning. The menu had a wide variety of options for everyone. My husband got the Biscuits and Gravy Combo which came with (2) biscuits, (3) eggs, and (2) sausage links. The gravy is house-made and had good flavor. I got the Bacon & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich which came on a Ciabatta roll and served with hashbrowns. The sandwich flavor was extra cheesy, fresh, but could have used more bacon. The bacon was also not cooked as requested unfortunately. The pricing was fair and portions weren't overly large like other spots in the area. Service was good but fast! Our food came out in maybe 10 minutes but still tasted fresh. Overall, I really enjoyed this brunch spot. Tip: Their B&G gravy is made from scratch every morning and the corned beef is their other specialty.

The service is excellent. They are friendly and clean up after u ! The food is so good breakfast and lunch! I enjoyed my soup it was good to the last spoon. I was so full on my chicken wrap! They play piano music in the background! It's a nice size family resturant! Tables and booths. You pay for the soda water if you are into that. Go hungry and enjoy !

Golden Special with Cinnamon Roll French Toast Combo
Karen N.

This is a good option for breakfast. We went on a Sunday morning. We arrived at 9:30 and were immediately seated. There were several open tables, but when we left there were people waiting outside for tables. Our server was excellent, she was attentive, proactive and kind. She offered me an ice tea to go and my husband a coffee to go! I had eggs benedict and substituted tomatoes for hash browns . The eggs were firm but the yolk was still creamy. The Canadian bacon was good, but the portion was a bit small. My husband had the Golden Special with cinnamon french toast. He enjoyed it but the french toast was a bit small and a side was not included. Overall, solid breakfast place, with extensive menu and great service.

Very Berry Waffle

This is one of those places that quietly becomes your go-to without you even realizing it. What stands out immediately is how consistently good everything is. The portions are generous to the point where your plate feels like it's making a promise it fully intends to keep. Whether it's pancakes, omelets, or something a little more creative, the food comes out hot, fresh, and exactly what you hoped to enjoy. The menu walks that perfect line between classic and creative. Things like loaded skillets, sweet crepes, and standout omelets get a lot of love, and for good reason. And then there's the service, which honestly might be the secret ingredient. Even when it's busy, and it does get busy, the staff keeps things moving while still making you feel like you're taken care of. Friendly, attentive, and quick without being rushed, it's the kind of service that makes a place feel personal. At the end of the day, this is what a great breakfast spot is supposed to be: reliable, welcoming, and genuinely.

Corned Beef Hash Skillet
Quin B.

I was a little disappointed as compared to my first Golden Brunch visit. I had the corned beef hash skillet. It was on the bland side. Also the onions and green peepers were pretty raw and could have used just a small amount of heat to soften them up. The over medium eggs on top were fine. Pancakes didn't seem as great as the first time either. The food is still a good value for the price!

A great cup of coffee

I'm happy to say I'm a regular here and the owners couldn't be nicer Great food Great people Great prices Big parking lot , big dining area , nice bathrooms And another way the owners support their customers. Unlike other places Golden Brunch doesn't charge the 3% fee when you pay by credit card If you haven't been here , you must stop in and see Argie or Steve, owners and great guys

This breakfast location was amazing!! Located close to my hotel, open entering it was clean and had friendly service!! So many options! The menu is HUGE!! Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious!! The skillets are very filling and the French toast is amazing!! Definitely will be coming back for more!!

This was a spur of the moment breakfast choice, because I was getting my car serviced out that way. If I lived nearby, I would definitely frequent this place more, and I'm certainly going to try to eat there again. The Location: Absolutely no hassle. It is conveniently located on Golf Rd. just east of Arlington Heights Rd. The parking lot is huge and the restaurant is clean inside and out. The Food: I had the Mexican skillet which was delicious. They have an awful lot of other creative food options on their menus to choose from. The Service: Everyone i met was very friendly. Matt, my waiter was patient, well spoken, and I could tell that he really likes his job. In addition, my water was filled three times. I love that! I highly recommend Golden Brunch, and it deserves the excellent reviews that brought me here.

Food was great and fast! My server wasn't overly fun or anything but she did great. The rest of the staff was great too tho. It was tasteful and fast!

A friendly and welcoming brunch spot in the Chicago suburbs . First time here and had a wonderful dining experience . The staff is so super nice and friendly and and the place is spacious and nicely kept. The menu is big with lots of great choices. We had the spartan omelet, lox on a bagel, salmon Benedict l, and eggs. The food arrived quickly, the portion sizes are big and everything tasted amazing. You could tell that the food was freshly prepared . Highly recommend golden brunch for a wholesome dining experience.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We were seated as soon as we came in the door. Our server, GRACE, was the best! She was very attentive and super nice. I will definitely come back here! AMAZING BREAKFAST PLACE!

Menu is out of this world!!!

Gluten free options?

All our omelettes and skillets are gluten free. We also have gluten toast and pancakes.

What's the normal wait time on a weekend morning?

I have rarely had to wait for a table on Saturday mornings (around 10:00-10:30). The prior answers are spot-on.

I haven't been to a location in almost 10 years so suffice to say I was very excited to come back! I got my usual signature berry bliss waffle and it was delightful. However it was outshined by the strawberry colada smoothie that was DEMOLISHED. My husband killed the cookie dough waffle, he got an espresso, and I ordered a side of bacon and another smoothie to go it was THAT GOOD!! I'm pretty sure we were greeted by the manager and assistant manager. Great service, great and BUSY location (I suspect they all are like this. They're just wonderful!) My husband said I didn't overhype it (even though I was drooling while I was describing this place to him lol) that it was a good call and he would go again. :) We'll see you next time! Thank you for the best trip down memory lane.

Parking is always a bit difficult after 10am on weekends. Parking lot is shared with Costco and fills up quickly.

Upon arriving we were told what our additional wait would be and it was within the parameters of what was communicated when we initially joined the waitlist. We were waited on promptly and put in our orders. I am a country fried steak fan and ordered that with hash browns and eggs over easy. There were ample hash browns cooked very nicely and the country fried steak was tender and well seasoned. It had a bit of a black pepper flavor. I also paid a bit extra for specialty pancakes because I am a huge fan of the red velvet pancakes. They are sweet and decadent but I can never pass up the opportunity. My daughter ordered the Açaí bowl which was a large portion and had ample ingredients with fruit and granola. It was nicely frozen and fresh. It was more than enough to fill her. They offer a nice selection of beverages and I took advantage of the Bloody Mary that was flavorful and tasty. The ambience is welcoming and vibrant and the staff collaborates nicely to make sure your needs are met. Solid and attentive service but no intrusive. A very solid choice for breakfast with plenty of choices to select from.

Expect a line as there was a long line when we arrive. Unfortunately there's only one person at the cashier register and I think there's only one register and there's only that one person who's taking the orders. While I understand that this is a small run shop I will say that standing in line and waiting on a Saturday morning really is discouraging. The food however, a super delicious and came out very timely. So absolutely no complaints for me and they also have a water station set up so you can help yourself to water which is fantastic. After sitting around for about an hour to an hour and a half this place got super packed with families's children and strollers which made it even harder to move around. The ambience is fantastic so definitely worth it for your social media. I would come back here again, however I'm not really someone to order alcohol here at this time but for breakfast I think it's great.

Awesome food and service! Went back twice on my trip to Arlington Heights…read more The waitresses and staff are super friendly and the coffee never stopped coming!

Our first visit was quite pleasant so when a friend and I decided to have breakfast, I said hey…read morelet's go to this place because I had only good experiences the first time around. However, the second visit was not so great. I did specifically order the strawberries and banana pancakes without bananas and the waitress said it was doable and she stated she put it in the order when the pancakes arrived They definitely had bananas and I had to send it back because I am actually allergic. When the pancakes came back, it did not look like they were new pancakes or remade pancakes rather, it was the same pancakes, but had the banana bananas removed, which completely defeats the purpose. Despite that I gave them the benefit of the doubt and decided to start eating and then all of a sudden, and tasted banana, residuals and remnants, and even finally found an actual slice of banana in the pancakes. I had to return it for sure I had to spit it out as well and take a Benadryl on the spot to make sure nothing worse happened to me. Then somehow the waitress came over to confirm. She did get the order correct but it came out wrong. She did confirm that they were going to make new pancakes, and then a manager came out and stated that they were going to comp our entire meal. Well, yes, this was completely 100% resolved. I will say that I do wonder where the disconnect is between management the waitress, the kitchen staff, etc.

They just don't seem like they want to be there, and it is just a bit off putting. Having said that, we do occasionally still stop by. We have ventured out to try stuff that's NOT waffles. The kids liked the small quesadillas i think-- not greasy and nice plain flavors, easy to please the kids. My oldest really liked the tuna melt and it was good, and generous portions. Easy to split with the other kids. The ironman in comparison is so tiny and not worth the price-- which is really just paying for the "health" aspect of it. I get it.
