This place is amazing and it's a combination of things that make it do good. For started when you walk in there is a relaxed cave like atmosphere. It just feels cozy and familiar. Ladies, if you're make-ups not lookin' so good I highly recommend dinner here. The chef and staff take a lot of pride in the food. Seriously, everything is delicious. I'd describe it as Cheers meets family dining. read more

Went there yesterday around 6 PM. I am a long time resident in Rochester and have been the the Eagle several time in the past. I am in the food industry so I know how things work from serving, bar tending, and the kitchen. There are somethings that are beyond one person control. BUT, the constant control lives with the server. First came the drink order. Easy enough, Vodka martini, no vermouth, said it twice, just a glass of vodka. I came with double vermouth, ok easily fixed. Told the waitress, she fixed. Next was food order, Prime Rib medium well. It came to the table rare. No problem, as soon as she placed it down I said it was the wrong temp. Here is where it falls on the waitress....she went to the pass and told the cook that I ordered medium and "he is sending it back" (I was in line of sight of the pass and heard everything). So my Prime Rib came back microwaved, completely dead. "Here ya go" turned on her heals and walked away. So as consumer you start to doubt yourself, did I order it wrong, was it my fault? So she brought the check and I asked her to take the plate and she said "what's wrong, I thought you wanted it medium well, can I get you something else?". Nope! The I remembered...they write everything down. So when she brought the check, I asked to see the order that she wrote, she thumbed though the tickets and stopped. Oh I thought you said medium, I must have not heard medium well. Then she asked for my name and the person I was with, which was weird. Any way, long story, I would rather go to Georges Coney Island, who I worked for at Winchester Mall, than to go back to the Golden Eagle. read more

Absolutely the best family owned restaurant in Rochester. Great Food, service and ambience!!

Great food and service. Like coming home for dinner. Chicken Parmesan is my favorite meal and the house dressing in the salad with blue cheese crumbles is the best in town. read more

My 2nd time here, for dinner on first Friday of Lent 2026. (My first experience was a funeral luncheon about 4 years ago, and the food was excellent then.) This visit, I ordered shrimp scampi with baked potato, salad and cup of clam chowder! Chowder was best I've had in years! Shrimps were very large, tender and the butter-garlic sauce was the perfect blend and consistency! Our service was excellent. My friend loved her baked lasagna. It was my birthday; Chocolate Lava birthday desert was so good and enough for 3 of us to enjoy! I truly enjoyed my dinner here and look forward to coming back! (The following Friday, I ordered carry-out chowder.) read more

Good food at a reasonable price. The menu selection has something for everyone. Great drink menu and full bar. Service is friendly and attentive, without being pushy. It's a little dark in the restaurant, but that makes it feel like an old school steakhouse. read more

Great service, good food and excellent cosmopolitans. Old school kind of place. Can accommodate a group of 8 easily. The waitress we had was very funny as well as an excellent server. read more

How have I lived here over 20 years and never been here? I was expecting a tacky Chinese restaurant with a big fish tank (they DO have a fish tank..). My apologies!~. Fantastic food like your grandma used to make. The French Onion soup is to die for.. definitely going on the rotation of places we love. read more

I am so sad to be writing this but I think customers need to know what happened to us. 20 minute wait on a Saturday night approx. 650pm. We waited and were sat in about 20-30 minutes. We are a table of four and waitress only brought two waters. Had to ask for two more. We ordered around 730pm and my husband needed one minute, she went to the table next to us and never came back to get his order. She comes back with a salad (we never ordered a salad) but said we could have it anyway. My husband ordered and we got our soups and bread very quickly. We had to ask for the kids chocolate milks since they were never brought out. But then came the wait. Our waitress came out around 8pm and told the table next to us that "she has her prime rib (pointing at me), but we are now out so you two cannot get yours, hers was the last piece (again pointing to me)" so unprofessional to call me out as if it's my fault I ordered prime rib so they cannot. Our food did not land on our table until 840pm! When questioning the waitress and manager they both said the kitchen is backed up and that it's "the holidays". The waitress was apologetic but the manager was not. Tried to offer dessert but I said no. I said we should have been notified or asked if they can get the kids food first or something some kind of communication. I asked for our food to go. We packed it up for tomorrow since we are no longer hungry after waiting. And we had to remind the waitress for the kids ice creams too. My kids were tired and not hungry anymore and then on top of it we had some rude neighbors that were making comments the whole time after I complained directed at me. The whole experience was upsetting. The manager made us feel unheard and it felt dismissive. I'm sure the food is good but we will know tomorrow when we eat it. We have always heard great things about Golden Eagle and are so sad to not want to recommend to anyone else. Please work on communicating to your customers. If we had known how backed up the kitchen was we would have prepared ourselves or left. If we knew this was typical as your manager stated is normal during the holidays then we wouldn't have eaten here. Please do better Golden Eagle! Edit: tried food and it was great. I think the main issue is service here so I am changing my stars to 3 stars instead of 1. read more

Great patty Melt, and service! This place has been around a long time because it's great

Dinner for 7; excellent service/ambiance/food. Never disappointed. A little background music would be nice(?)

Great service great food every time we go here. Just think that there is no better value in Rochester

What a great experience! Anthony was such a perfect and pleasant server. You need to try their Roquefort dressing, Mario zip sauce, shrimp scampi and top it off with the fresh creme brûlée. What a hidden gem with quality food at fair pricing. We will be back again as every time we visit, we try something new. Oops, I forgot the escargot is tasty too. read more

Okay so I wanted to try this place and upon showing up the place has the sign of a Chinese big red sign very dark. Still decided to go in . We ordered a Stella's and they gave it to us in a tiki cup (it was margarita day) as soon as the waitress brought it I smelt tequila. Upon tasting it was not the taste of Stella at all and was very sweet tasting just like tequila. The waitress kindly gave us a new one and unfortunately the steallas then was warm.... The filet was super yummy but they gave me beef gravy on the side. Staff was nice and friendly and the place was clean. The Caesar salad was not tasty and lettuce was slightly wilted. read more

A hidden gem of a restaurant! The food and service are top-notch! You can't find restaurants like this anymore. Owner takes such pride in his business and it's reflected in everything they do. read more

Great tasting steak and the Mario sauce was an excellent compliment. I ordered the NY strip which was a nice size, 12 oz, and was fantastic- great charbroiled taste, juicy and cooked perfectly to the doneness I ordered. Creamy tomato basil soup was a bit salty and taste was a bit off to me, but other than that everything else was good. I also want to point out the fresh warm rolls, they were reminiscent of the bread from Joe Muers' restaurants without the buttery mess. Our server Susan was attentive and friendly, offered up great suggestions, very informative and accommodated our requests. The place itself has a warm, old style, loungy vibe with a lot of table and booth seating. We had a very comfortable feeling as soon as we walked in and throughout the dinner. I see this as a go-to place for a nice steak dinner. Looking forward to our return to try the prime rib, served apparently only on Saturdays and Mondays. read more

I like the vibe. Feels kind of vintage. Food is excellent. Waitress attentive and nice. Price is fair. We each had the NY Strip. We discovered this place a couple months ago and is now in our rotation! read more

Good service. Good food! It's been years since we last ate here. It exceeded our expectations!!!

Always a great stop for a terrific meal. Great bar area and plenty of seating. Staff is tremendous and the food is excellent. Plenty of specials with many fish options. If you don't want the fish try a wonderfully prepared steak!! Mmmm. I enjoy the onion soup to begin but they have plenty of appetizers to choose from. Enjoy. Your Host will greet you promptly upon arrival. read more

The "Golden years", The "Golden Hour", "On Golden Pond"...and Golden Eagle...all things that involve, you guessed it...old school happy fun times!!! You might walk in this steak shack and think, "weird, did Marty McFly, Doc, and I just jump in an '85 DeLoren and time travel back in time??" No! But you did just walk into some good food and service at some good ol fashioned prices. The steaks are served to your liking, all meals come with a pineapple slice and cherry. The water glasses are made for elves. Bread baskets galore! So take a trip down memory lane...happy hour starts at 4:30! read more

I ordered the medallions as a carryout. Medium was the temp I asked for; I received well done pieces that were not medallions. I definitely will not be ordering carryouts from them again. I always loved this place, but am not thrilled with it any more. read more

Very cool atmosphere, never had a bad steak. The prime rib on saturday is to die for and the muscle appetizers is delicious with the bread they give you. read more

Excellent food for great prices!! It's like stepping back in time. I've never had a dish I didn't like there.

Not the fanciest interior, but the food makes up for it!! We had a party of ten for a family birthday and everyone thought the food was delicious! As a matter of fact, we are going back for fathers day dinner with same 10. Great menu with a lot of specials also, something for everyone! Server was great, she was very busy, but also attentive. read more

This review would be 4 stars except for the rude bartender. Huge sighs, slamming cabinets, barking at coworkers. Yes she was busy. But if you can't be busy and cordial then you shouldn't be a bartender. Prime rib on Monday, what?! Good prices and very tasty. Aglio e olio was very good. Sadly the service from the rude bartender overrides the meal. Wont be back. read more

You'll find this restaurant in a plaza-completely unexpected. We heard about it through some of my friends coworkers as we were searching for good steak and wanted to try something new. This isn't your typical stuffy steak house--it's VERY local, with a very mature crowd. We both wanted the ribeye but we found out that it is a special only offered on Saturdays (and Wednesday's I think). So we both ordered the NY strip steak. It's a decent size steak prepared well and tasty but for me the most delicious part was the sauce that comes with it...This was a unique sauce and it was very tasty! It's like butter mixed with zing...YUM! I could have eaten anything with that sauce. I'm not a huge bread person, and this was ok+ bread. All in all, I feel this was between a very good 3 and 4 star experience! read more

And again...I've never had "soggy" fried fish. Or warm oysters. Or rude bartenders. Or complained about the French Onion soup or, "bread was ok but again, fairly bland". I've never been disappointed with anything I've had here. The staff is great, and I have witnessed them bending over backwards to appease "grumpy" customers. As a matter of fact, I'm going there this pm. If I'm even a little bit concerned about my meal, I promise to "bare my complaints" right here! Stay tuned. read more

Wonderful atmosphere with very pleasant table service. I was not pleased with the food. I started to eat my entree and felt sick. So, I stopped eating it and brought it home to feed my dog. Unfortunately, both my dog and I got pretty sick from the chicken and shrimp....not a coincidence. In addition, my entree was too saturated with the sauce and very overpowering. I'm hoping it was just an off day. read more

The food and service were great!! Plus the setting gives you the feeling you are back in time.

Old school at its best... the food is always delicious! The ambience is pure 80s glow... Caesar salad made right at the table. Side spaghetti and chicken tenders staple since I was 8 years old. read more

Great food, great service, very reasonably priced. A wonderful nostalgic atmosphere and menu, matched with quality ingredients and proper preparation. Wish we haven't waited so long to try it. We will be back, soon. read more

Great family place with friendly bar and a menu with a wide range of food from seafood to steak and from sandwich to dessert. Feels like Cheers. read more

Absolutely love this restaurant and go often. I always get the beef medallions and portobello mushrooms.

My family has had many years coming here. Often on lamb night - bring you mint sauce! Excellent menu and restaurant without the hype and wait. Desert menu is splendid. If you want a place to call yours and get consistently great service and bread and many home made sauces, dressings, and deserts then Golden Eagle. read more

My husband and I are your typical well traveled amateur foodies. We've been to fancy, trendy places in Chicago, New York and beyond and we are obsessed with Golden Eagle. It's not "trendy" but the food is so good. We've literally never had a bad meal there. Bread is amazing. Peanut butter pie is epic. It's my favorite place to eat in Rochester Hills. It's so nice to have a casual come as you are place with great food just around the corner. The staff is super nice and so good to our buttered noodles, bread and fish tank loving daughter. One of the waitresses we've had before even stopped by to say hi. Run don't walk to Golden Eagle. read more

Service was fast and great! The food was above average and tasted good. Ambiance was super busy and a packed full house. read more

food was okay but cool, the worst was being overcharged after I verified the billing and signed. Yes the card was overcharged $6.00 after leaving a tip!! I will not go back again I have been to the Golden Eagle before multiple times, but this is my LAST. read more
