Golden Diner

7.6/10American

AI-generated summary

The is why people line up. It's honey butter, thick and fluffy, and almost nobody finishes a full stack alone, so split it or ask for the half stack they don't advertise. Waits run one to three hours. The and the get quieter but stronger praise, and the is the one people regret.

  • Agree with the pancakes being too much. First bite is amazing, but five bites in it becomes less enjoyable.

  • Golden Diner was amazing, fluffiest pancakes with a light syrup, perfect breakfast burrito with silky eggs and crunchy hash browns. Great service as well!

  • replying to u/mysticmistake: golden diner!! the pancake is really really good

    Golden Diner's were the best I've had. Huge, thick, fluffy, chewy in the best way, and topped with an amazing honey butter.

  • replying to u/actsqueeze: Do they use real maple syrup?

    It's honey maple butter and they add a dash of soy sauce so it has a slight umami saltiness without being overpowering. It's amazing.

  • replying to u/Clear_Helicopter_607: Golden Diner. Though they may not be regular ass enough for the OP.

    Second Golden Diner's Honey Butter Pancakes. Very fluffy and thiccc. A meal by itself. And that honey butter really kicks it up a notch.

  • After going there a couple times i think its overrated. The first bites of the pancake are good but then it feels like you're eating a stick of butter.

  • I much prefer the subtlety of the citrus zest, and the compote totally overpowers it and dominates the dish.
