The Golden River

Great place! While it's a bit dated inside, it's cozy and welcoming. Food was awesome! Great price. All staff were extremely friendly and kind. Just a note - they are cash ONLY. They do have an ATM on-site though, along with several neighboring businesses.

My wife and I stopped in for breakfast and had a really good time. The food was great, the hostess/waitress was fun and personable, and it's great to see her interaction with the regulars. The restaurant decor is a little dated, but it fits the feel and the food and I wouldn't change hardly a thing. This is the diner we've been missing since moving to New Jersey.

Great local joint! Good prices, nice staff, and fine grub.

I just wish the place was open later, it's hard to catch them when they're open!

The quintessential 70's type breakfast spot. The waitress was extremely pleasant. The food was excellent and very plentiful.

The staff is exceptionally friendly and a lot of fun to converse with. The menu offers basic breakfast fare but the taste is not basic at all. The eggs are genuinely tasty, the portion are generous and they are happy to accommodate even the most particular eaters like myself. Most omelet dishes come with a yummy pancake on the side which is a nice little nod toward customer appreciation on their part. We have a good meal and good time every time we visit Golden River.

Best service. Great food. I will 💯 come back! I'm an outside sales rep and I always read reviews before I go into any restaurant and let me tell you.. well worth your time!

My lady and I got some pancakes to go this morning since it was almost closing time for them. Was served with a smile and the pancakes were still nice and hot when we got back from our walk home. A new neighborhood spot for us for sure. They don't make places like this anymore!

Absolutely the best breakfast around! The food is delicious. The portions are generous. On top of that the staff is great! The owner who also cooks, is always going above and beyond to make sure his customers leave happy. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.

Not only is the food amazing but the people that work here are too! I never have to wait a long to get my food either. Fastest service too. I love love love this place!

If your visiting and looking for a historic feel its a cute little place. It def looks old fashioned. A big plate of food is pretty cheap here and the owner is a sweetheart. Just a few min walk from the riverline and historic clock tower...MAKE SURE YOU BRING CASH TO PAY!

Extremely friendly staff. Great diner food. Very good prices.

My wife and I have been here many times... It's a small home town style restaurant... The food here is great... The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful...

Try to go once a week at least!! Food is super good and prices are great! Best part by far is the how nice everyone is, makes you feel like a friend.

I came here with my family a couple off times.I love the food and the family always says how good it is.The staff are really nice.I think it's the best restaurant in Riverside.

I am home visiting for the weekend and had to come in and get breakfast ! Amazing food and service ! This will be my goto spot anytime I'm home !

Food is good, generous portions, great price ... very good coffee considering its diner coffee! Pleasantly surprised!

I love going to this place it's a warm cozy place. Staff is amazing even if your not a regular from town

They're always so polite and personable there. You don't feel like a customer, you feel like family.

The service is great and the food taste's good.

Great place to eat now they have a new cook
