Golden Eagle Diner - Bristol

This is a huge diner with an enormous menu selection. There were many booths and a very large bar. Upon entering, they have a small bakery section in the foyer with different pies and cheesecakes. They looked delicious. They also had the cinnamon and cheese bread that Mastori's in Bordentown was famous for. We were quickly seated and our waiter came right over. He brought a small plate of the cinnamon and cheese bread with butter. The cheese bread was delicious while the cinnamon bread seemed stale and was dry. For apps, we ordered the French onion soup and wings. The soup was very good. I didn't taste the wings but my partner said they were good. They looked over fried, perhaps twice fried, and looked dry. We had the Bristol burger and a Cobb Salad. My partner said the burger was ok but nothing special. The side of steak fries were good but you didn't get many. Had to ask twice for a side of mayo. The Cobb salad was good. Grilled chicken over spring mix with the usual blue cheese crumbles, bacon, avocado and tomatoes. The chicken was a bit dry and the tomatoes were awful but I'm spoiled by Jersey tomatoes. I've never had calamata olives in a Cobb salad, but it was fine. Overall, it was good for a diner but certainly not a place to rave about. We were in the area and decided to stop in. I would give it a try for breakfast.

While our server was absolutely wonderful and this review isn't for him because he was fantastic. There was a birthday party going on at the diner (weird choice for a venue but ok) the kids were absolutely awful running around taking chairs from tables playing musical chairs? Parents? What the heck? Kids were rolling on the floor in front of where the servers serve food. It was just terrible. Lord knows this would be the day I rage quit. No kid in my family runs around a restaurant like this. Shame on management for letting the servers deal with those unruly kids and not saying one word the entire time. It took a lot in me not to shout at someone else's little brats. Unreal. Do better. Why did we get sat next to this group in the first place? Do you think two adults want to be next to the party of unruly kids that are rolling around on the floor of the restaurant and running passed my table? This is a dining establishment not a playground

We used to come here years ago when we were more local however since moving to NJ we have not had the opportunity. Stopping by the other day to our surprise was so great. Under new management/ownership this was a very nice experience. Food was great, lighting and ambiance was really nice. Staff was very helpful and happy to serve us. I can't wait to come back. Thank you to the people there in keeping our memories alive!

Ooph. Not a clean establishment in the front of the house, so have to assume that the back of the house (kitchen) is also not well kept. That said, I was not leaving my health to chance by eating here. After being seated, I noticed that our table didn 't have just one spot of food/grease left behind my the last customer(s) to sit there, but obviously by many, based on the numbers of them and the associated levels of crust, etc. And, that was just the table. The laminated menu had two different spots of food which had not been wiped off, and were again, dried on over some time. One big spot looked like some sort of purplish berry drink or dessert, and the other was dried ketchup. Having a typical, mirrored diner decor inside on many surfaces, it was easy to spot all the dirt, grime, and smudges on those surfaces. Almost forgot that I had to wipe a number of crumbs off of my seat before entering the booth, too. All of that said, my guest and I were seated for about all of two minutes before I said Let 's get out of here and go some place cleaner, because I am not down for taking a chance here. There were only 5-6 cars in the parking lot during lunch time, versus a packed parking lot about a mile and a half down the road at the Golden Dawn, and for very good reason.

First time having brunch here for Christmas Eve! Surprisingly it wasn't busy or anything like that, we instantly got sat down right when we walked in. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak omelette and also an order of the Belgian waffles. The food was perfect, it was so good. Service was excellent, she took care of our whole table. The restaurant is really big and spacious and also very clean. I would recommend coming here for breakfast. They also have lunch and dinner menu as well.
