"Gold Rush rose to the top of Dallas’ favorite greasy-spoons, featuring breakfast standbys with Tex-Mex influences like huevos rancheros or one of its best selling dishes, The John Wayne, with eggs, bacon, salsa, and cheddar cheese. The eatery is well-loved, as evidenced by its 4.7 star rating on Facebook and the reportedly huge customer turnout at Sanchez’s funeral. Positive reviews verbalize what many Dallasites feel makes the place so special. “The customers range in age from the 30s to the 80s, and they have all been coming here for decades. I bet some of these folks would vote for Gold Rush to be their last meal on earth,” one commenter wrote in his five-star review. “You don’t get more of a comfort feel from a restaurant than this. It just puts a smile on your face. Their food is just right and their heart and hospitality are as big as Texas.”" - Alaena Hostetter
