Golden Grill in St. Catharines

Not fancy but breakfast is great!

Great little restaurant serving homemade food

Had a great supper

Great food and service

Fantastic breakfast never disappoints Still remember the day when the old man used to have 20 lb of bacon cooking on the grill still small that bacon everyday when I walk in there Parking: There is a free parking lot but its not kept up theres giant holes in it would recommend parking on side street or just be careful going in the lot

Service and breakfast were very good. I had the peameal bacon and could only eat half. We will definitely be back!

This is the best place for a nice healthy breakfast, the customer service is amazing and the prices are reasonable

Wow! My first time here. It was amazing! Everything was cooked to perfection and the prices were so good for so much food. I will be returning

Always love this place always go here with my dad since i was a baby. Best breakfast.

Exceptional . Food , service, and prices are exceptional. Staff is happy, too. Does it get any better? Thank you. 7 stars out of 5. Paul Food

Nice retro atmosphere. Good homestyle breakfast. Would recommend

Quiet breakfast place. $8-10 for a breakfast.

Best breakfast in town. $8 for 2 eggs, bacon and toast. $10 including hash browns

Great place to grab a bite to eat. Service is great, food is always perfect and served within minutes of ordering. A hidden gem for sure!

After seeing this restaurant downtown for years and never going I decided to give it a try. I was extremely happy with the price, quality, quantity and taste of my breakfast. Breakfast is served all day and I had 2 eggs, hash browns and toast for $5.95 and my compaian had a big breakfast for around $14. He received 5 or 6 pieces of bacon two sausages, home fries, toast, two eggs and two pancakes. Despite looking a little questionable on the outside the inside was clean and bright. You can see where they make your food and servers were very friendly. The parking lot is a nightmare unless you have a tiny compact car or motorbike so I would recommend parking on the street. I would definitely recommend trying out the Golden griddle for breakfast and I will be going back to try the Friday night fish and chip special in the near future. Kid-friendliness: There was large open areas lots of booth seating and quite a few TVs playing things like Americas home funniest videos, sports and on some news.

Wow only restaurant I know takes cash only for the meals. I had fish and taters all under $20.00. Nice atmosphere. Even the cook came out to see if we were enjoying ourselves. I was with 5 other people.

Fish Friday Fish was really good Food

The waitress was very nice and attentive and took our orders quickly...the bacon and eggs were cooked just like I wanted...did not enjoy the home fries but thats ok...I got my bacon and eggs perfectly...

Eggs Benedict was fantastic!! Would recommend to anyone looking for great food at old school sit down restaurant

Breakfast was very good

It was one of may favourite breakfast to date the service was great

Best breakfast place in the city. Portions are very generous and prices are great. My go to breakfast restaurant.

Dont let the outside fool you! The inside is clean and the food is amazing! The portions are great and its very inexpensive. $30 for 2 of us and the amount of leftovers could make another full size breakfast. A greasy spoon but a definite gem.

Great breakfast

Amazing food, amazing price

Nice small diner experience. Food is great, with the exception of pancakes, which are PHENOMENAL!!!!

Great breakfast. Good tastes and portions!

5 huge pieces of bacon. Great breakfast

Simply perfect. Nice to see this place serves traditional homestyle fried potatoes vs. Deep fried frozen potatoes. My server was so sweet and friendly. Bring cash, they dont accept card. I will be back again.

Friendly staff. Great price per portion. Fast Kitchen. Free parking around back. Time-limited parking on street.

Food was great but was upset with the 45 almost 50 min wait from the moment we got to the restaurant until we got our food. It s mother days and they were really really busy but the food definitely made up for it !

Amazing food and good prices

30 minute wait but it was Father s Day

Great food and service. Dont judge a book by its cover. Go in, sit down and order, you wont be disappointed.

Old country style restaurant with all the ambience in the heart of St. Catharines. Lovely place!

Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible. Food

Food was ok ,but beef no good, service very good

This is everything you want from a local diner. I do wish they were open earlier and took something other then cash but I don t mind. Big portions great prices and service is amazing.

This is a hidden gem for a moms type homemade meal .

We went for breakfast with our 3 children. The atmosphere was comfortable and the staff were friendly. The food was delicious and a great price. Cash only so we had to use the ATM inside the restaurant.

Great local spot. Almost couldnt finish all the bacon that came with breakfast... almost.

What an amazing breakfast. I had a special order and the chef said no problem :it was fresh. It was hot. And it was quick. Can t wait to go back. And the service was extraordinary. Can t wait to share this place with my friends.

Nice old school ma and pa joint. Cash only, but the food is yummy and well priced.

Great old fashioned diner. Great tasting eggs and 6 strips of bacon for a reasonable price. Good friendly staff. Cash only. Will return. Best value I have found in St. Catharines.

Clean / pleasant atmosphere / excellent breakfast / fair prices / every reason to do breakfast here!

The food was pretty good, decent quantity and probably the best value around for a good breakfast, well be back. Dont forget its cash only, it surprised us. Food

I usually eat here once weekly. Fair price for portion and quality

Great food and service for a busy Sunday

The staff is excellent the food is fabulous your portions are huge Been going for breakfast and lunch for the last 8 years have never been disappointed

They don t serve vegetarian options

Girls are friendly. Feels like home. The chef is great. Always a good meal. We go twice a week. Thursday an Sundays...

Gentleman who works here approached my wife when she was alone, and had accidentally parked in their empty parking lot for a minute, yelled in her face to move her car, when she said she would he continued to say it was for golden grill only and if she understands him .... piece of work. Would never and now will never support this place of business. How can you call yourself family run and then treat other people s family with zero kindness. Disgusting.

Love this place. Nicest staff and the food is always great.

Cheap food, friendly service, and a great location. We were really jonesing for a new breakfast spot since Fortis shut down, and weve found it here!

Lovely restaurant with home made taste

I have been coming here since Ive been 15, Im now 56. So happy they kept their business in the fam. I love it every time.

What a fantastic old shop breakfast place! Just been and had the most generous portions, bacon, eggs, melted cheese toast, for the best prices I ve seen in a long time! I ll definitely be back! My go to breakfast place for sure!

A gem. Homemade breakfast. French toast is a treat!

Excellent as always

Greatest place for breakfast!

Biggest portions for the best price. Quality of the food is very good. Gotta love the hashbrown potatoes that are made with spices and pan fried

The food is AWESOME SAUCE!! The prices are unbeatable and outstanding service with a side of sweet .

The place to go for breakfast, always lots of bacon... MMM

Breakfast is ready quickly, its not expensive, pretty convenient little greasy spoon.

Really great breakfast..super friendly staff. Its an older building, in an older part of town. I was a bit hesitant to go in. But...This place came highly recommended by 60+ people in the Niagara Restaurant Facebook Group so we went in despite the outside not looking very pleasant. The inside is very clean and looks like an older bar type place. Breakfast was right on! Delicious potatoes. Generous portion of bacon. Really kind hardworking folk there. Happy to support this family business. If I lived closer, Id be a regular. The prices are great!

Authentic diner, nothing fancy, friendly service, good food. I highly recommend Golden Grill for breakfast

Just a good old neighborhood diner. Lots of food on the plate for not a lot of money.

Been here twice now and it s a really cute place with good breakfast food. The waitress is really nice and very attentive and prompt with coffee refills. I love the plates, they remind me of the kind a sweet grandma would have. Don t expect anything fancy, but it s the perfect cozy diner experience. Also, the home fries are super flavourful!

Basic diner stuff at low prices. Go here for a quick bite but just keep in mind its one of the oldest diners in the city

This is local for me and Ive been going here for about 35 years, ever since I was a young boy. Never have complaints, good food. The one lady that works there has been there a long time, very nice

A bunch of us went here on a whim... BEST decision of our lives! Food is so delicious and so well priced. 10/10 recommend

My friends and I came here for the first time for some Sunday morning breakfast and left feeling like part of the family. Our server, Claire, was the sweetest, most attentive person weve ever had. The environment was clean, cozy and it felt like we were sitting in our Grandmothers kitchen. Please come here and enjoy a meal with your loved one, you will NOT be disappointed <3

If youre looking for that classic breakfast diner feel this is it. Amazing coffee and great mugs, it makes a difference. Breakfast is fast and plenty lots of bacon

Went to Golden Grill on a Saturday with some old school mates. Had bacon and eggs easy over and fried potatoes. Eggs were spot on ! Nice big yoks ! Lots of bacon cooked perfect! The older waitress is a darlin and the food was rapid .Thanks for the great food and service Mrs. Patricia (the darlin waitress) Lots of parking in rear . I went back Monday.....same great experience!!

Love this place good food friendly staff

Great food, service and prices!!

Great breakfast, cheap & fast with huge portions.

Will always be great!

An Outstanding and Excellent place to get Real Home Cooking. Family Owned and Run and Yes the Traditional Greek Family Way. The food just delicious and plentiful. Bravo Golden Grill Truly A Gem and continues to be a Pillar of Niagara Restaurants here in St.Catharines. Martin Sarkisian

huge breakfast best place in st catharines

They recently opened back up....which is great! But now with stay at home order they do take out....when they feel like opening, very hit or miss....usually open after 10am....lol

Loved eating here. Great dinner with great food, service and price.

Amazing staff and delicious food at a reasonable price.

Hands down best breakfast on St.Catharines! You get quality breakfast that won t break the bank! I ll be back as much as possible!

Great place to eat..best breakfast in town!! You get more bacon then anyplace I know of lol

Supreme quality. The best breakfast spot I ve been too. Great service, portions size can t be beat, and perfectly cooked food. Highly recommend

This place is a gem! The people working there are all special, they really genuinely care about their customers, we were treated as if we were their own family and the food is AMAZING, you can tell its made with love. Definitely eat here, you wont be disappointed! Also the prices are like half of Dennys or Ihop, you can get breakfast for like $6! Thank you Golden Grill!!!

Great place for breakfast...loads of bacon!!!

Fast and consistent.

So amazing. Best food ever. Very quick amazing service.

Cash only (ATM on site). Your typical greasy spoon, with a small simple menu, cheap prices (everything is under 17$, most meals are under 10$). Its adequate but hardly outstanding. Lots of seating. Friendly staff. Seems popular with downtown locals. Come here if you want a quick breakfast of eggs and toast and home fries and meat and drip coffee. Dont come here if you want eggs Benny or espresso or other brunch fair - this is not that place!

Best breakfast place in all of Niagara, recommend that everyone goes, fast friendly service, great food. Most of all best ladys in the world to have serve you.

Great historic restaurant with nice service and obvious regulars that go there for the good food, a classic.

Always good hot breakfast and exceptional staff

Not impressed with the quality food. Very Greasy. I could taste the oil on the sausages. Big portions. Atmosphere is very plain. Well not bad for the price but I wont come again.

The greatest breakfast you could ask for. Excellent fast friendly service. Come here frequently. Lots of bacon if you like bacon

Always fast and delicious at a great price

Great breakfast. We will be back soon.

Love this place. Ive been visiting here since I was very young. Think it was called Brites

Great breakfast. Lots of bacon on your plate and great price

Good food good service. Old school experience. Family-friendly and family run from the look and feel. Bathrooms old but clean

Love the food! Ive been coming here with my grandmother and cousins since I was really little. Great family place

Great greasy spoon

Good food. Very fast service.

Amazing staff! Great food! Incredible prices! I come here every weekend with my family for breakfast. A great place overall!

Best breakfast in town!

good flood dated needs new tvs paint carpet

Always great food..fast service and friendly staff

Excellent breakfast!! Big portions. Great price.. friendly staff. It is a little vintage inside but clean.

A great retro diner.

The food and service were good. The spuds were excellent. The air was a little musty. The parking was somewhat wonky.

Probably the best breakfast place in St. Catharines, its a hidden gem. Huge portions (tons of bacon), great coffee and very reasonably priced. Bring cash though, they dont take debit :-)

Coffee is the best around & the service was excellent. Great value & quality food.

Im hooked on there breakfast amazing home fries

Great food , friendly staff Will definitely be returning

Once again the greasy spoon (Golden grill) did not let me down only difference was I had lunch Burger & fries excellent beautiful tasting mouth watering burger along with the amazing service I would highly recommend to sit down and try there food.

A Neighbourhood Institution, this diner is exactly what you expect and exactly what you need for breakfast and lunch. There has been a restaurant/ tavern operating in this location since around 1870...at least. In a changing neighbourhood thd Golden Grill gives us all little security.

Came here on the way back home from Niagara Falls. The food and service was wonderful, coffee tasted great and my family and I felt very welcomed. I would definitely come here again!

Great little place in the middle of town. I havent been to many breakfast places in St. Catharines but this the best one so far. Very quiet and calm atmosphere and excellent employees. Some of the best coffee Ive had in a while and perfectly cooked eggs. The prices were very reasonable. There were two of us eating there with big appetites. We both left full and even with a healthy tip it was under $30 for the two of us. Highly recommended.

Really good service fast and warm food delicious cant complain

Food is good

Older place but good food

Great breakfast with 5 pieces of bacon

Good food great price

LOVE eating here. Great and Friendly staff. Prices are hard to beat for the amount of delicious food.

Great service and food

Hospitality and kindness

Good service just a little slow.

We had breakfast here with our daughter. I loved the small town feel. The breakfast was very good and reasonably priced. You got a lot for your money. The older woman who served us was very pleasent. Next time we are in the area, we will definately be back.

Ive been coming here for years and never had a bad experience. Always good food and great prices

Good food at reasonable prices

Wonderful food, polite and amazing service. Could never ask for a better place for breakfast and lunch

Great breakfast

Great food, cheap, friendly and cozy family feel. Sizes are big and very flavourful

Great value and awesome breakfast!

Went for breakfast with a friend. We were both impressed first by the prices and then by the quality of the food. The homefries were amazing, soft with a crispness and a taste I have never had. The ham is real ham not deli slices. You get more meat than most places, unless youre used to getting the lumberjack special, even then you wont be disappointed. Most people say an egg is an egg but the cook here can actually make an over medium egg. The only option I would have liked is rye bread. The staff was friendly and quick. Based on my breakfast experience I will definitely be back to try another meal.

They are not stingy with bacon portions! Great breakfast... two can dine for under $20.

Also know as the bacon palace is a little restaurant just outside of the core u get your basic eggs homefries tonnes of bacon and unlimited coffee for about 10 bucks. Ive been there 4 times in the last week and its consistent, hot and good. Needs a bit of a update but it is a mom and pop place so Im not judging.

Pancakes were delicious. Kids enjoyed them very much! Disliked there wasnt any chocolate chip option but they were still scrumptious! Unfortunately all they had for got sauce was Tabasco when franks tastes absolutley delicious with eggs and homefries. Owner (im assuming) was a wonderful woman so nice and pleasant. Very warm and welcoming

Tasty food and fast service. One of my favorite breakfast places.

Bad manners awesome food....gotta take the good with the bad. Place has been there 100 years and the chef just as long so a few swears and bad attitude on rainy days i can deal with. No where in the city can you find such a big breakfast for the price you pay. The bacon is the best no joke decent home fries and the eggs are big too.

Best breakfast in town. Great service and prices.

Great food at a good price with friendly service!

I go once a week to golden griddle and have very good customer service great prices and good food lots on your plate for a small price I will keep going once a week my husband and I love it there ...as soon as we come in they know what we order and always great us with a good morning love the place

Good food, great service, nice atmosphere. And inexpensive..

Always great food and amazing service. I love coming here for breakfast

Awsome everything

Fair prices big portions

Good food, ample portions, reasonably priced.

Best breaky in town

Very homey feeling and the food is AMAZING!!!

Nothing special. Just average but decent breakfast. Never tried anything else.

I ordered bacon and eggs totally disgusting place is ran down and dirty ..I got reheated bacon after I asked the lady 2 times before to make sure it was freshly cooked bacon not crispy needless to say I got reheated bacon that was like eating shoe leather so it wasnt eaten when she brought the bill she asked if I wanted a take out container I told her no thanks I cant eat it its to hard I had to pay for it anyway.I will never go back

Good food

Good value breakfast, good service.

Omg... We were going home from the falls and decided to go for breakfast and found this place. Went in and thought it was great looking and food would be great. So we ordered and asked for bacon to be really crispy even if they have to burn it. So they brought the food out and bacon wasnt crispy, so asked for it to be more crispy and they said at first they cant but took it anyways. Then when my boyfriend asked for my bacon to be crispy too, the lady freaked out and said we dont take it back, whatever given in your plate that what u eat, and never come back here again. She was so rude, we both lost our appetite and left hungry. Will never going back there and they should really do something about the service.

Horrible manners horrible staff! Will never go back there ever. Got called stupid Canadians

Went there once but ordered food to go because I live close and would rather eat at my house- food was not that good but ok enough to go when Im lazy and tried and was cheap. Second time I go there lady tells me they arent making food to go. And there is barely anyone one in there to start with not like they can afford to just turn down business. So I left without eating confused why they care where I eat my food they still get my money. All I know is I wont go again.
