Outstanding diner that never disappoints. In fact, this is one of the top diners in the area for quality and price. The main chef has been here many years and has trained his crew to cook just like him. They always use quality ingredients and make everything from scratch. Diner impressive. Ordered tasty, thin cut brisket as main meal which included mashed potatoes and green beans or choice of other items. Decent garden salad and complimentary Cole slaw. Great, friendly and fast service. I love coming here. read more

A group of 7 of us went to dinner here and had a horrible experience! The waiter didn't understand English well and made multiple errors with our meals. 1. Ordered greek salad; NO Salad showed up. 2. Ordered cheddar cheese on burger, got american instead then was charged $2 extra for cheddar cheese I didn't get. 3. Ordered green beans and got corn instead. 4. Ordered Strawberry Ice cream and got vanilla instead. 5. The Goulash was soo salty, it had to be replaced with a different meal. Also, from the beginning we told the waiter we needed seperate checks. He spent 15 minutes printing, reprinting different checks that i had to call management to ask what was taking so long. When we got the checks, he had only put the meals on two seperate checks so when i called managements again, she was rude and instead of correcting the issue and saying sorry, she told us "Not To Come Back." What kind of manager/owner does that? Clearly you hired a waiter who doesn't speak English and who made multiple errors with our order and instead of apologizing you tell us not to come back? Well, we sure as heck won't be! Plus they charged us a 20% gratuity for horrible service! If it had been up to me the waiter would have received none! read more

A good experience. Our server was coughing and never offered a refill. Took sometime to get our checks. Food is fair. Cashier is pleasant. They have 3% creditcard charge. Parking is at the back, limited space. High chair seen, clean restroom. read more

I wanted to try a new diner, so my boyfriend recommended Golden Corner Diner in Bound Brook. I've been to several diners in the area, but Golden Corner stands out with its varied menu and central location. We were warmly welcomed and seated right away. Our waiter took our drink order, and I opted for the Western Omelette with a side of bacon. The omelette was well-filled, and I appreciated the option to choose how my bacon was cooked I chose crispy. My boyfriend ordered 2 eggs over easy, sausage, and potatoes. It too was also a hit. Our breakfast was satisfying, and the coffee was hot. This place is neat and clean with booth, counter, or table seating. The service was excellent, and we were asked about our experience before leaving. We'll definitely be back. read more

I'm going straight into a review of their onion rings because that was what I remember the most. The onion rings were no joke. Our waiter brought them to the table fresh out of the fryer, wrapped up in parchment paper. Tasty batter and bread crumbs used. Nice and crispy on the outside, and ooey-gooey-perfectly-cooked onion on in the inside. *drool* The rest was ok; just not as memorable. My partner liked his eggplant parmesan over linguine. I think I ordered an open face sandwich or burger... All I remember were those onion rings. Legit. Wait, I also remember the decor. This is a classic diner. Nostalgic vibes. Loved that. Also the greeter at that door was welcoming and seated us right away. Nice diner! read more

The food is always delicious at the Golden Corner diner. We started ordering to go from this diner during Covid and the service and staff were and are still wonderful. We try to go once a week and have our usual table. The ambiance is relaxing, respectful and kind. read more

This is my first time coming here. My husband has eaten here before with some friends. The service was so great. Our waiter was so attentive and quick. We asked for their house made Cole slaw and it was so good. I ordered the chicken parm sandwich with fries and my husband got the chefs salad. The servings were huge. The best part was the food. I will definitely be coming back again. read more

I just moved near this restaurant and am glad to have this gem of a diner in my neighborhood! I got the biscuits and gravy, my first job was at Ihop...so I take my biscuits seriously! Let me tell you, the Golden Corner biscuits are absolutely delicious! My server Heather was attentive, friendly, and spot on with service. Management up front was friendly and welcoming. The space itself is cozy with a small town local vibe. Truly an authentic Jersey diner. Thank you for the delicious food and awesome service, I look forward to visiting often in the future as your new neighbor! read more

Came here for breakfast prior to a meeting in the area. Does not overwhelm but did not disappoint either. I had a Western Omelet and did remark that it contained more ham than I have found elsewhere. Good coffee. The manager/probably owner was very visible in making sure everyone was enjoying their visit. Our server seemed to have a lot of tables but it all worked out in the end. Their parking lot is very small. read more

Went here on a Saturday with my wife before an unsuccessful car shopping trip. We were seated immediately. My wife had the gallo pinto and I had the cinnamon raisin french toast with a side of scrapple. The dinner was crowded, but not overly noisy. Our food was good. The service was fine at the beginning, but our waiter forgot about us after the food arrived. Hard to get drink refills when that happens. The two meals were $33 before tip. read more

They took a while to seat us and I wish I could say the food was worth the wait but it was okay! Service was very okay.. our server kept running from us. We were a party of 5. read more

Very, very bad. My scrambled eggs were watery like they use one of those artificial egg products in a carton. Definitely not fresh eggs. The bacon was cold like they precooked it yesterday and just put it on the plate. The hash browns were just mush like mashed potatoes that were not mashed enough. There was no flavor to them. No visible onion or peppers and no crisp on the hash browns. The coffee had a weird taste. My friend said it too. My friend's french toast had the weirdest color. It was too yellow. They probably use the same carton egg product that has artificial coloring to make it look more yellow. You can't fool me. I've made french toast with a brioche and eggs straight from a chicken. For this garbage they charged us $24. On top of all of these poor ingredients and poor cooking technique, the food was cold when it got to our table. It seems like it was sitting back there waiting to be picked up. I will never go here again. I'm actually shocked that this place gets 3.8 stars. It must be reviews by people who have never cooked an egg. read more

Very average: weak coffee, overcooked omelette, flavorless French toast, bland pancakes. There are much better diners for breakfast. We didn't try any lunch dishes. If it's your only option, you'll be fine, but it was expensive and not worth it. read more

Yes. This is my third review of this establishment. It use to be my go to diner but it's dropped it's rating based on my last couple visits. The food is still good and some of the staff is still great. One waiter was just down right a failure. Numerous times you have failed to show any improvement. I've had to ask other wait staff for assistance.You need a personality to be a waiter. Your customer should not be treated like an after thought. This older man has the personality of a slug. He would be better suited as a mop boy in a seedy movie theater. Don't take any drink orders then argue with me about how service is suppose to be. If my dinner shows up before my drinks and salad something is wrong. No it was not busy. You sir should be ashamed. Then to tell me that what you gave me is what I ordered when I've been dining here long before you started working here. If your still working there here are some pointers.. 1. Greet your customers with some kind of energy. Introduce yourself. Ask if you can get them started with a beverage. Hell try recommending something. 2. Return with the beverages before you decide to ask what they want. Try this. Do you need a couple minutes to look over the menu? You can even recommend a special if you have actually tried it. Do Not say. what do you want. 3. Soups and salads come before the entree unless they request otherwise. Keep in mind there are "larger" salads that are considered meals. 4. Check on your table. Walk past see if the beverages are getting low. Ask how things are. You'd see how customer service equals tips. read more

Excellent Saturday breakfast! Service was outstanding very friendly and personable and my coffee cup was never empty. I haven't been here in quite a while and I'm happy I returned. I had 2 eggs over easy with home fries, scrapple,and rye toast. I love scrapple and I'm always happy when I find it on a menu. My friend had the fresh blueberry pancakes and she said they were outstanding and she enjoyed them very much. I'm very happy to update my review for the great food and service! read more

I've lived in the vicinity of Golden Corner for many years and for some reason have never been here. Today was my first time here and what a gem! This place is a diner but not your typical diner. I'm a stickler for cleanliness when I go out to eat and this place nailed it. I noticed it right away. It's family owned and operated which I love. The food was regular diner food and don't get me wrong it was excellent but it's not about the food it's about the service at this spot. That means everything. The waitress was super nice and friendly and even introduced me to the owner as this was my first time here. Can't remember the waitresses name or owners name but they were very nice. The staff was friendly with keeping your coffee filled and readily available for anything you needed. I like this place and will be back to possibly try lunch or dinner. I'm sure they won't disappoint! read more

Last night my family met to celebrate. Generally we have had good results and good food. Unfortunately last night the broiled filet of sole was extremely salty. This morning my sister called me to tell me she got sick last night and was throwing up. Yes she was one who had the filet of sole. Historically our food has been good and unfortunately it appears the attending chef allowed this to happen. We love this family owned diner however this was very disappointing and we hope this is rectified before people stop patronizing. One more experience. The week before I ordered the fired filet of sole. When my order came out it was just that on the plate 2 small filed filet of sole, nothing else. Wouldn't you think the waiter or the chef would have questioned this? I had to suggest to the waiter that there was vegetables and a carb missing. He went back and brought out rice and mixed vegetables. read more

Have been here twice and it has not disappointed. For being short staffed they are still pretty attentive. The food has been really good as well. Ordered the California cheeseburger and it was very juicy and tasteful. Will definitely be back. read more

This place is good. I take my parents here. They live the senior meals because it's a lot of good food for less. I've never had anything bad here. Comfortable seating, clean, accommodating. Sometimes we get take out. Either way I recommend this diner read more

A great local spot. I have been enjoying breakfast, lunch and dinners here for decades. The staff is always friendly helpful and working hard. It's true definition of a Greek fun diner. Located in Bound Brook the menu has opened to include some Central American cuisines but nothing compares to the ability to have breakfast any time you want. The pastitsio and gyros are great. Every Sunday cream of turkey soup. It's nothing extraordinary but a good bowl of soup with good flavors. We love taking the boys for lunch as they enjoy going to the diner. The owners and staff have been so friendly to the kids. I would recommend taking your family to enjoy a great meal. read more

Being I am from Bound Brook I have been going to Golden Corner since it first opened in our humble little town. The staff has ALWAYS been friendly and attentive and the food always hot, fresh and delicious!! I can't recommend just one dish from this establishment so I say try them all! I may have moved away from home but Golden Corner is always a must when I come home for a visit and I look forward to taking my daughter there for her first time! I will always be back!!! read more

We had breakfast at the Golden Corner on Sunday morning. It is located on Route 28 in Bound Brook and has a lot of street and off street parking. The place was crowded and we had a short wait. The cashier was referring to the manager as mom, so I'll go out on a limb here and say it's a family run business. It is a typical diner atmosphere and the room was very clean. We were served coffee and tea. My wife had an omelet and I ordered eggs over medium. My eggs were a bit undercooked and runny and the potatoes were cooked with almost no fat or seasoning resulting in very little taste. The very good sausage made up for the rest. My wife got a super good omelet with pieces of bacon and cheese throughout. You made my wife happy so you get a fourth star. read more

Consistent, reliable diner fare. I've taken my family here several times, almost always for breakfast/brunch. FOOD I almost always get the gallo pinto (beans, eggs, cheese, plantains), while my family gets staples like waffles, eggs, and pancakes. No one leaves hungry + good prices = good value. SERVICE Always friendly and reasonably prompt. AMBIANCE Completely renovated and upgraded in winter of 2014, and now with free wifi (ask for the password). Above average without being pretentious. SUMMARY Very good overall, which is why it's on my regular list when I'm in the area. read more

NJ is the admitted diner capital of America... Golden Corner stands above the rest by far. No only great food and friendly service but the owner is actively involved and it translates to the wait staff and I submit to the chefs on staff Busy place but the owner makes sure you get a seat and fast. You'll love the incredible menu-- a breakfast to believe in! read more

Always great choices and a good amount of daily specials. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Manager is always walking around to make sure you are happy with food and service.

The most disgusting and skeevy place ever in the whole entire world 5 years ago and it still is skeevy. Me and my grandmother went to this place for dinner and this place looked like The worst part of this place how nauseating the bathrooms were in this place. There was poop on the toilet seat in the bathroom and it's the most disgusting thing ever in the world. I hope they clean the bathrooms and improve that they're a healthy clean restaurant. I'm sorry to the people that ever had this problem before. If they has ever happened to you in another restaurant please comment down below. read more

As a person who frequents diners in NJ the Golden Corner is by far the best. Extremely friendly staff and excellent food. We stopped for Breakfast the other day, my sister and I ordered the Egg Whites with Turkey Sausage and Rye Toast. They serve Pechters Rye Bread ( the best) and the Sausage was the best I have had in a Diner ever. If you are in the Somerville/Bound Brook area, make it a point to stop in at the Golden Corner. read more

I would put 1 star but server was nice and food was okay. We use to love this diner, but after being treated poorly, I will not be back anymore. You would think it's first come first serve, but I guess either my nationality or my young appearance deserve a low level of customer service by the cashier/host. The couple behind us were nice enough to say that we were first in line, and we were basically right in front of the cashier so you would really have to make a huge mistake to overlook this issue. And months before I recall a similar issue, but thought it was just a mistake, now I know. I guess since they are very busy, they can pick and choose the type of customer they want! read more

Long wait. Be prepared to wait about an hour for your food - and no one to come refill your coffee- had to ask three times and then went to counter. If your unhappy that your toast comes out white and bacon half cooked be prepared for an eye-roll and rude comment. read more
