The Golden Grill has been a staple for Englewood and Teaneck residents since my mom was a little. She's been enjoying breakfast here for decades, and with good reason. It's a community spot where you'll often see regulars stopping in, saying hi to friends and neighbors, or chatting with the owner. But it also draws a decent amount of non-regulars because of the great food.
The place has a very welcoming ambiance and the prices are affordable. It's one of the few places I know that does grits very well, and it's also one of the few places I know that has sausage patties. Most places only ever have sausage links and I'm absolutely not a fan of them, so I love the fact that they have the patties.
I've been going here for breakfast, on average about once per week with my mother for almost a year now. It's at the point where a couple of the waitresses know our "regular" orders. I almost always get two eggs, sunny side up, sausage patties, rye toast and French fries with water and coffee. In all honesty, there are times when the fries maybe don't come out fully cooked, or the coffee is maybe a little burnt, but overall the food is delicious, and I've never had a meal here that I've considered bad. I always leave feeling quite satisfied. And, it adds to the dining experience when the owner and waitstaff recognize you and interact with you like they do here.
It's worth noting that M-F, you almost always will be able to find a table, but Saturdays and especially Sundays, you should get here early so you don't have to wait for a table (as with most diners on the weekend).
I'm sure I'll continue to enjoy breakfasts here for many years to come!
