Man was I hungry! I'd just finished my swim and had not had anything to eat since waking up this morning. I knew about this place years ago, but for some reason, always passed it by. Since I seem to be a bit more adventurous after having moved to Chicago? I decided to try it. It's one of those places where you order at the counter, pay at the counter, and they bring the food out to your table. And, Nash, they give you a coffee cup, and you get to fill the coffee up from an air pot they have at the end of the counter area. The best part? The prices were extremely reasonable, especially in this day and age! They even have a special breakfast for under $10! Sacrilege! I'm surprised other restaurants in the area. I haven't tried to light their building on fire with those low prices! And what a spread! Take a look at the picture I've attached to this review! Look at it! Four piece pieces of sausage, three eggs, hashbrowns, toast! My god! This wasn't the cheapest breakfast they had, but it was a really competitive price and the food tasted great! Will I come again? I can guarantee you that when I retire and move back to Southern California? Oh yeah, this will be one of my favorite spots- try it and tell me what you think! read more

Golden Eagle Restaurant - 3egg breakfast! - Comfort Food Near Me - Signal Hill, California

One day, I decided to have lunch at the Golden Eagle Restaurant in Signal Hill, which unfortunately turned out to be a regretful decision. Before arriving, we confirmed that their patio was pet-friendly, which I appreciated. However, I wasn't fond of the service. I felt rushed by the older woman who was helping us, and she even cut me off mid-sentence. I ordered the grilled chicken club, while my boyfriend ordered a small chili cheese fries. I also ordered three sides of thousand island dressing and a burger patty for our fur baby. My fries were stale and seemed to have been refried. The chicken club itself was decent. Unfortunately, I developed a really bad stomachache afterward that lasted for the rest of the day. Between the service, the food quality, and what I suspect may have been food poisoning, I won't be returning. read more

A while back I was on a breakfast burrito kick. I wanted to find "the best" one. I added this one to my list as I had seen talks about it online. I finally tried it last week. Meh. Not great. The sausage and bacon was...hard? Like overcooked, not good. It also lacked cheese. Not really sure why it's called "home of the breakfast burrito" as it states on their sign. The only good thing about it was the size - it was quite large. I may or may not go back for something else but certainly not for the breakfast burrito. At least the lady was nice who took my order. read more

My visit to Golden Eagle Restaurant was an all around excellent experience. Every detail felt intentional and well executed. Food: I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito, and it truly stood out. The chorizo was rich, savory, and well balanced with a deep, seasoned flavor profile that was not overpowering. The temperature was spot on, warm throughout without being overly hot or uneven. The cheese was perfectly melted with a smooth, cohesive texture that was evenly distributed in every bite. Each component worked in harmony, creating a burrito that was both satisfying and indulgent. It was filling to the point where I did not want to stop eating it, easily a highlight of their menu. The organic orange juice complemented the meal beautifully. It had a fresh, vibrant citrus profile that tasted like it had been squeezed that same morning. Bright, clean, and refreshing. Environment: The space was clean, busy, and very accommodating when it came to seating. Despite the crowd, everything felt organized and welcoming. The ambiance struck a great balance with low to moderate noise, making it comfortable for conversation while still feeling lively. The lighting and decor were simple and effective. Natural sunlight filled the space since there was no heavy window advertising blocking it out. Clean ceiling fans circulated a fresh, easy breeze that made the environment feel open and comfortable. I could genuinely see this place being used as a film location with its authentic and inviting aesthetic. Cleanliness: Details matter here and it shows. The tables were wiped down thoroughly and paired with sturdy, well maintained booth seating. No cracks or worn out surfaces. All condiments at the table were fully stocked, clean, and easy to use. The floors were tidy and well kept, and even the parking area was clean and easy to navigate. Overall: This is a place that clearly understands its customer base. Families, kids, and hardworking locals all feel at home here, and you can tell it has a strong, loyal following. The combination of quality food, thoughtful service, and attention to detail makes it stand out. I will absolutely be coming back to eat here again. read more

Been coming here for breakfast for a few years. Food is consistent and reasonable especially the specials before 11 and breakfast burritos. Portions are large! Want salsa or pico de gallo, no problem! Staff friendly and casual. Grab your coffee or drink cup and serve yourself. If I get there before my friends and want to have my drink while waiting, no problem, just grab it and pay when u order! Still has that neighborhood feel! They don't try to be something they're not! read more

I ate breakfast at lunch time and it was the most glorious way to spend a Monday morning. First time here, so I went with the basic: #3 sausage & eggs ($11.99). Breakfast is served with 3 eggs, hashbrowns, and your choice of toast. My entree came with four sausages. Oh boy. My breakfast platter was so good. First of all, the eggs are buttered, the hashbrowns are buttered, and so is the toast. What is not to love? The hashbrowns are perfect - the potatoes are sliced into meatier slivers, buttered, then crisped on the grill. The sourdough toast was toasting - perfect to soak up all the egg yolk from my over easy eggs. If you order coffee, you have free rein to pour yourself a cup, however, someone will come around to top you off if you need a little more. Mind you, this is a fast casual set situation, so that minor attention to service really won me over. I love Golden Eagle. It gives home-y diner vibes with a fast casual set up. read more

I was in the area and decided to stop by to get a breakfast burrito, since the sign says 'Home of the breakfast burrito.' Years ago, I used to live close to here, and it's been that long since I've been back. The breakfast burrito has egg, cheese, crisp hashbrowns, bacon, sausage and pico. I also had a cup of coffee. The burrito was huge. I loved it. Nicely proportioned eggs to hashbrowns, along with crisp bacon, sausage, cheese and pico. I also added the hot sauce to each bite of the burrito. The breakfast burrito ranks with the best of them. Golden Eagle's menu also offers burgers, pastrami, other breakfast plates, fries, onion rings like other fast food joints like this. Service is nice and friendly. There's plenty of off street parking. There's also an outdoor patio to dine. If you're looking for a huge, great breakfast burrito, check out the Golden Eagle. read more

Right across from the Costco in Signal Hill, the Golden Eagle Restaurant Long Beach serves up family-style comfort food similar to what I grew up in Chicagoland Greek restaurants, except with a SoCal twist (e.g. Good Breakfast burritos!). Golden Eagle Signal Hill has been around since 1988 (the original opened in 1971 in Torrance). There's a dedicate parking lot, but it seems to fill up quickly. It is set-up as fast food, where you get in line, place/pay your order (no opportunity for tip), and then find a place to sit. They do serve lunch and dinner as well (with a small menu), but we came for their all-day breakfast. Customers seem to come in waves: One minute there could be nobody in line to order, and the next, a line going back to the back. Coffee and soda is self serve, and the station is next to the order-taking register, which causes congestion....nothing a couple of 'excuse-me's' couldn't solve. The coffee station had sugar (but no substitutes) and single serve creamers. My mother-in-law said her small coffee ($3.19) was fine. Our food came out pretty quickly (with silverware and napkins), delivered by a super-congenial young man, who offered extra plates, silverware, and more salsa for my burrito. The winner meal was the Hot Cakes Combo, choice of meat ($13.39 even though the menu board said $13.99). It is even cheaper ($10.89) if ordered before 11 (we just missed it). The 3 Hot cakes were so fluffy, just loved by my wife and Mom. I had a bite and it was very good, very light. It came with choice of egg and meat (scrambled and bacon in our case). There were 5 strips of thick cut bacon, very crispy (almost shattering as you bit down) if that's how you like it. If you search for best breakfast burrito in Long Beach, Golden Eagle seems to pop up a lot. I liked mine ($10.79), filled with both bacon and sausage. It had a lightly seasoned homemade salsa inside, so the extra salsa that I got was useful. One thing I noticed is that the egg inside was prepared like an omelet (with the diced vegetables and bacon mixed in), and then the thin omelet being rolled along with tortilla and melted cheddar cheese...resulting in a well balanced burrito in each bite. It's a smart way to make it. It was big enough for me to bring half of it home. Each table has needed condiments, like syrup, ketchup and hot sauce (both Tabasco and Tapatio), along with napkins. I mention this since there really isn't table service (though they do deliver the food and will bus). So having some cash for tip before you leave is a good idea. read more

This has been a "goto" for for my family for more than 30 years. But like all good things, it got sold. Prices have gone up ... yes, they have gone up everywhere, but they have REALLY GONE UP HERE. No one smiles here anymore. It gone from incessant smiles to actually seeing frowns and scowls. Is that coming from the new owner? I dunno. But it's like everyone hates their job. This used to be a fun, friendly place with never ending smiles! The cashier never smiles and she gets impatient. You can't substitute any more! What? What? Substitution is what made it work for all those years. I don't care if you need to charge me a little more but don't tell me I can't have this or that ... give what I want and just tell me how much it's going to cost me! You're already charging a premium. My buddies who I rotate around the area for our weekly lunch ... the last three times, we walked away saying we need to drop Golden Eagle from rotation and add someone else, John, Dale's or even Curley's. We keep coming back but I don't know how much longer. Just this morning my wife wanted to change up her breakfast ... she was told no. No??? No? Just build the damned breakfast she wants and tell her how much! If your non-smiling cashier can't handle the math, then maybe you need a new cashier ... let her go on the floor and not smile as she refills coffee like she already does! In the end the food is still the same good food you've always gotten her ... but you can get good a lot of places for the same price where they actually take your order at the table, and service you ... WITH A SMILE like they are happy you came and spent your money there ... rather than being just another pain in the ass customer making them have to work! Arrrrgh! read more

I have continued to come here for their carne asada burrito. But today, I noticed they changed the meat. We have ordered three of the burritos. All three burritos carne asada meat is smaller (chopped up) and dry compared to the big juicy meat that they use to used. And the burritos was smaller in size. I'm alittle disappointed at the change in recipe. The taste was different. I hope they change it back soon to the original recipe. read more

Everything could improve. Second and last time I will go to this establishment this is the second time they screwed up my order. So I guess when you order a burger with no onion you also get a burger with no spread or pickles. When asked for no onion they put onions and when I mentioned that the guy took it back and just scraped them off. What if i was highly allergic to onions. Thats not what you are supposed to do in the food industry. I will never be back. Enjoy your overpriced food that is not great in the first place. Should have went to storm burger. read more

This place is always busy for breakfast!!! When we first walked in there was a wait for a table, but i'm assuming because we got there right at the end of breakfast hour within a few minutes the place was almost empty. Night and day for when we first walked in. Honestly, the food is OK, but I don't know what the rave is. It's just hamburger stand style food. Maybe the rave is because of the service because they are always on point and super nice. The restaurant is nothing fancy again just a hamburger stand. The staff has a great job of keeping it clean and turning over the tables quickly. Overall, nothing bad to say there is just nothing that stands out to make me wanna come back so quickly. read more

Well, well, well I see after multiple months at the high price the pastrami finally went down. More to reasonable 15 or $16 I can do that. So I did I don't live close by anymore so I did it through DoorDash and added a side of onion rings. Please note that when you're in the store, you're on rings come with their delicious ranch dressing. I've heard it's homemade. There was no place to order the ranch dressing and next to the zucchini. It said it came with ranch dressing, but the fries and the onion rings did not. Stupid me thought it was a typo, but then my order got here and there was no ranch! Then the pastrami didn't even look the same different color and way different texture somewhat tough to bite into and chewy and I'm telling you they had the best. The best. The best pastrami I've ever had and now it's gone gone gone. I hope they're using their money wisely because they won't get any more from me which is really too bad because I used to love going there. I've actually mentioned them several times in the multi thousand person group food scene of Long Beach. Because pastrami would come up a lot and I would put my pictures in of my pastrami from Golden Eagle and I would say this one across from Costco is delicious and I swear by it. And now I have lied to all those people I think there's 90,000 in there so I'll go put a review over there now about you that says I withhold my pastrami recommendation. Because I can't anymore because it's awful. I don't know who of you taste tested it and picked it out, but you weren't tasting the old stuff you couldn't have been. read more

Great experience, customer for life. Just moved to the area and was looking for a burger spot. Came here on the way home to grab food for the family. Stopped in and everyone was polite. Fast service. Headed home. When I got home I realized I didn't have my cash on me. I must have dropped it. I gave my family the food and rushed back. I expected it to be gone and whomever found it to take it. It's was over $100. I pull up and as soon as I walk in the guy working the counter says "you forgot some money!". They had it in the back wrapped in a fry bag and stapled. They knew someone lost it and were honest enough to have it ready. I tipped them $30 and rushed home to grub. The food still tasted great. They even lettuce wrapped my wife's burger since she can't eat gluten. Tasty fries. Crispy onion rings. Orange bang to drink. Perfect dinner to cap a stressful half hour. Great to see this place has not only great food but honest employees. This is our new go to spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. The inside was very clean too so we will dine in on our next visit. read more

The chorizo breakfast burrito was tasty and very filling. I also liked their fluffy french toast and club sandwich with french fries. The fries were perfectly crispy and fresh. The workers are also friendly and running around serving people their orders to their tables. It is a pretty big diner with plenty of booths and tables. They offer a self service drink machine however when I went, the horchata ole machine was not working and when I pointed it out to the workers, they said they would fix it or try to get me a cup but that didn't happen. I paid for a drink because that's what I wanted but ended up giving it to my mom. Otherwise this place is good and I would come back again. read more

Their sign proudly reads "Home of THE Breakfast Burrito." It's a bold move to not only make that claim but to put it right on the permanent signage. So, is it any good? Absolutely. I've had it several times, and it's consistently solid. Is it the best breakfast burrito I've ever had? No. But it's definitely one of the best in the Long Beach/Signal Hill area, and for some people, it might just be their number one. The service is always on point. The staff is friendly, efficient, and more than capable of handling the full menu -- which goes way beyond just breakfast burritos. There's plenty of seating both indoors and out. I usually opt for a table inside, but on a nice California morning, sitting outside with a hot cup of coffee and a good breakfast really hits the spot. And yes, they get bonus points for having Orange Bang! on tap. read more

Out with the old in with the new. Been coming here for the last 25 years, food (especially breakfast and coffee )and workers the best. We came to eat breakfast 2 months after owner sold the restaurant and food was still the same. Even I don't live near I still take the drive to eat here. Now that I came months after everything has changed . First thing I noticed was cashier was very rude and coffee switched tasting different. .previous coffee was epic. I wanted to really give a place I've been coming here the benefit of the doubt, but sadly food changed. The ham and eggs I've been eating for years was now so disappointing. I feel so bad a place that you can count on for great food any time you would go has now vanished and time to look for new place or hopefully new owners opened new location. Thank you for the good times eating there. . Ps on a positive note at least one good thing was changed, the TV'S were upgraded lol read more

My last review was 7 years ago. I appreciate the consistency at Golden Eagle. I always get the broasted chicken dinner which is made hour and fresh to order with 4 large pieces of chicken which comes with a basic green salad, fries, onion rings and a grilled dinner roll. I have two requests: 1. Except for the salad, the dinner is all carbs. I'd really enjoy having an option of potato salad instead of the onion rings, or an ear of corn would be nice. 2. The second request is to offer a fresh turkey dinner during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Roast turkey not the watery roll turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce. Keep up the good work. We come from near LAX once a week to dine at Golden Eagle. The dining room is always spotless. The servers are always polite and friendly. read more
