I have been watching the parking lot at Goldies for a while. The business seems to be doing fair. There is a huge discrepancy in the rating. Yelp has a sad rating of 2.4 (36 reviews) while Google reviewers seem to like Goldie’s better awarding it with a 4.1 rating (650 reviews). I have found that more reviews usually provide a better assessment of the business’s actual performance. The nostalgia for a Goldie’s charburger, was stronger than the fear of a bad dining experience. My last experience at the Goldie’s in Pryor was great. So, I’m in for giving the BA store a try. We had a new waiter. He was inefficient and fumbling a little here and there, but overall, it worked out. The pickle bar is gone, in its place the waiter brought a generous bowl of the mixed pickles. Still good like they used to be. The burger was a good thick lean beef patty with the Goldie’s signature char flavor on a toasted bun. Smaller than I remember. A very simple, uncomplicated burger. It came with a leaf of fresh lettuce, several crisp onion rings and a slice of tomato. Decorate it as you please. The fries were perfect. These were the coated fries. They stay crisp throughout the meal; even crisp when they are cold. I thought it was a great meal. I would rate it as better than 75% of the burgers I have had in Tulsa. The restaurant itself is in desperate need of a reimage and make over. New management is needed. It is time to break from the past. The restaurant is still the dreary gloomy green inside. Most of the diners in the restaurant this afternoon had gray hair, and there like me for the nostalgia of a Goldie’s Char Burger. If you weren’t around when Goldie’s was in its peak …well it is hard to explain the draw. For other reviews laced with superfluous, time-wasting inessential information, sarcastic diatribe and subjective opinion, follow Spike S. on Yelp and Spike...
Read moreI love Goldie's. I worked there for years before Steve & Brian took over. Went to eat last night and they were not busy (parking lot was barren, so we got seated). There was no silverware, no napkins, no crackers. I remember there being a basket of crackers on the table. There is not even Club crackers anymore. You can't get pickles yourself either, but when they brought us pickles, they were old and soft and blah! The bread & butter pickles were so mushy & disgusting (probably because they were in the back & old). So, we ordered our food (Country Dinner & Chicken Plate. It was supposed to come with lettuce & tomato but that was invisible I guess). Waited at least 20 minutes for our food. She brought out our coleslaw before the meal...still no silverware. She did bring crackers...5 packs. We had to use the crackers & our fingers to eat coleslaw! Coleslaw was dripping on the table....no napkins to wipe it up. Our server had no personality and was lazy. Our food finally came, and woo hoo, silverware with ONE napkin. I thought about cutting my napkin in 1/2 so I could have two napkins. The food was great!
We thought that since all the other restaurants around were crowded, we would get good fast service...WRONG. If we did need anything, our server was no where to be found to ask for anything.
Just thought could you all be a little more cheap?! Come on, put some napkins out, crackers, pickles (the Corona Virus is here to stay). That is what Goldie's in known for...Pickle bar,...
