    Greek side salad and French onion soup
    Leaugeay G.

    I love this place!! The side Greek salad has a ton of different herbs and is jam packed with flavor, highly recommend! I got a chicken croquette mini meal and let's just say...it's far from mini! The French onion soup was truly a treat. A really great value across the board! Everything was delicious (try the bread pudding!) our server was so friendly and knowledgeable, we really enjoyed chatting with her. I enjoyed the classic diner vibe, comfy booth.

    Today i went to golden pigeon and i saw a guy coming to pick up his food and asked "who answered the phone?" And the guy at the front counter said "me" and the guy replied " you hung up on me and had a bad attitude and started yelling" the golden pigeon is at it's downfall. And i feel bad for the servers they are not cared for and the owners dont care about their well being. I would rate 0 stars but i cant so it gets one. Also my sister used to work here and quit because of the kitchen staff they are very inappropriate and disgusting he pushed her against the counter and put his thing on her behind. They are very very nasty here.

    Greek salad

    I love having a reason to be near Jersey diners. After a recommendation from a local business employee, we gave Golden Pigeon a try. The diner decor and vibe was old-school and appeared un-updated, the service was prompt and friendly with just the right amount of checking in, and the food was good. We had a small Greek salad which seemed like a large. It was served with the dressing on the side, it wasn't possible to get it without onions - they said the onions were already on there, so pre-assembled I guess. It did have anchovies on top and came with pita. Also at our table was an order of eggs with home fries with a side of pork roll, which I'm told was all good. The best part of the experience was the value - dinner for two with a total of $21! The toughest part of the experience was choosing what to have after reading through pages and pages of options that all sounded good. And a menu plus - breakfast is served all day, and a classic diner staple - a case FULL of baked goods as well as cakes rotating in a glass display. Classic.

    We ordered lunch from the Golden Pigeon. I know it's a local diner blah blah blah but cleanliness is still important. While eating our lunch, we found multiple hairs in our sandwich. We know it's not ours because the color doesn't match the hair on our head. If you do order from here, check your order.

    My parents and I stopped here on our way back home from Wildwood. The only reason we stopped was because my brother who wasn't with us told us to go there as he and our grandparents went there years ago. The service was great, the waitress was very attentive and kind to us. We all got entrees from the daily specials menu that included soup/salad, the entree with sides, and a choice of dessert. All the food was good in my opinion. It didn't wow me, but for the price we paid ($7/$8 for each meal), and the amount of food we got for it, it was great. I was stuffed afterwards. Quick service too. Typical diner atmosphere to me. My mom loved the bread and when we were leaving, the waitress gave us two small loaves for the road free of charge. If I lived closer, I'd totally be back here with my friends and family. We were there kind of early so it wasn't really full but don't let the lack of people distract you from this little gem!

    Sugar packet holder!
    Kristen C.

    This place is disgusting! It is so dirty, from the CD player on the table, the salt and pepper shakers, sugar packet holder, etc! The bathroom is disgusting also! Door handle leading out of the restroom has not been cleaned since the 1980's! More servers than customers. A lot of standing around when they could be cleaning!!! ALSO THE BAKERY CASE IS ABSOLUTELY FILTHY!!

    Side greek salad
    Hollie S.

    Atmosphere: The Golden Pigeon is typical of a New Jersey Diner.  The outside is a mixture of both cobblestone and metallic in the front.  There is a huge sign that says "diner" and fresh baking on premises.  The promise of fresh baking is enough to lure anyone in. Coffee: The coffee was good. However, they were out of whipped cream!  A diner with fresh baking and no whipped cream?  Oh well, it's only happened a few times.  I don't always get coffee with whipped cream, and I do prefer it. Food: The Golden Pigeon has everything you can imagine in a diner.  There are plenty of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options.  I'll warn you that the portions are huge. I decided to order the Pork Chop special, and it did not disappoint. I've never had anything like it! It started off with the choice of salads, and I chose a Greek which came with anchovies (off to a good start). I also got fresh cheese bread which was amazing. If you have never had cheese bread, it's bread baked with cheese in the center. My three pork chops came with sautéed onions and on top of hashbrowns as well as french fries.  It was unique, ultra filling, and I have no complaints. I wasn't expecting the french fries, so it was definitely a filling addition.  Service: The server was nice. I think he might have also been the manager, but he was friendly, chatted often, and made sure I had plenty of refills and that my food came out quickly. Overall Thoughts/Would I Come Back? I enjoyed the Golden Pigeon a lot, and it's one of my top diners in the area. I'll be back if it works out.

Ordered a Roma omelette, a meat omelette, and a seafood pasta dish. These portions are absolutely enormous! Unbelievable. The prices are being reasonable for the quantity and quality. Everything was delicious. Omelettes came with home fries and toast. Also got a side of scrapple and a side of sausage gravy. The seafood was delicious as well. Do not leave without grabbing dessert. I repeat, DO NOT leave without dessert. We got 4 pieces of cakes to go - carrot, tiramisu, peanut butter, and strawberry shortcake. All are made by a local bakery and all are fabulous.
