Goldmine Restaurant — Restaurant in Garland

First of all let me say that this review is not only for the GOLDMINE RESTRUANT but also to all the haterz out there reviewing this placee worst way possible..... First of all, let me tell ya this place lives to its best expectations! The staff is great more than great. This place is better than waffle House and IHOP put together. Definitely makes you feel like home like when your family wakes you up with a hot coffee and a warm breakfast meal before you need to start your day specially, for those that work day and night or also driving, this place is the best place you can to stop by for a coffee break or a good meal. Also want to share that the customers in this place really know how to communicate with you and that's what all about people to communicate better to love each other and greet each other and just know that we are all family in this please really gives you that vibe when you come the music the staff the food. Oh my God the food is so great I had the egg Benedict. I don't know if I pronounce that right but the egg was amazing. The bread was really good and tasteful every bite was really great the way you break the yolk it's so nice the hashbrowns, crunchy taste full the bacon. Oh my God the bacon was ycrunchy hot not greasy. It was very very greasy. The prices are great really good for what they give you. This is my first time coming here since I was born, and like I said, I was born in 1994 its the first time I ever decide to walk in here. Let me tell you this please I will definitely be bringing my four-year-old. This is a place where I want to experience with my first child just like I wanted my parents to bring me here along time ago but it's all right at one point we all end up walking in for the first time at a place where we've seen since growing up, I'm sure I'm not the only one. Also shout out to the waitress stephanie. She's amazing does a great job. Perfect makes you feel great. Definitely recommend anybody to come. This place really gives you 70s 80s 90s vibe like a old school diner. Literally everything that has not survived from Garland. This place is the only thing as of right now that I know that is holding up very very strong and that looks great on my side. Definitely going to be coming here more often. Specially, for breakfast and a coffee and also be bringing my project cars because it's low car friendly for anybody that has a low car and the parking is amazing to you. Yah Should really consider bringing yalls car clubs out here. It's very very amazing. Very good vibez!!!!! So for everybody here reviewing this plays really bad or whatever you need to go back and re-born again because you're too judge mental you need to just wake up and be happy come get yourself a coffee and grab a breakfast I'm sure it would help you a lot. God...

Me and my wife came up here a few weeks ago and the service was so slow. The waitress messed up or order. The manager apologized and didn't charge me for her food, no crap she didn't eat a bite of it because it wasn't what she ordered. I came back today and tried them again. I walked in the door a few minutes after 10am. Waitress is so slow, I ordered about 10:10. It was almost 11 when my food finally came out. Two tables had sat down around me while I waited and they got there food before me. I asked the waitress twice what was going on with my food. The hash browns were under cooked mush. The chicken fried steak was meh. I asked to talk to the manager but, he didn't want to come over to my table just looking at me stupid. I got up and went to register asked him why he didn't want to come talk to me. He said he was busy, even though we're just sitting there looking at each other from my table. I told him it took over 40 minutes for my food to come out. His response was well what did you order. I'm by myself, I ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast. What a stupid response. He just looked at my like I was being crazy. I told him I wasn't paying for anything and I was leaving. He told me that's good, get out! I've been going to this place since the 90's! I don't see how this place stays open. It can't just be us that have had experiences like this. It happened twice in a month. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone anymore. I just can't believe the way they acted about the whole situation!

Incase people thinking I'm exaggerating I'm adding text messages I sent to my wife while I'm at restaurant. She works at Mesquite Diner, I went there it was busy so I drove to Goldmine which is 17 minutes away from Mesquite Diner according to Google maps.

Edit: no response from owner, place is...

If you prefer eating at the French Laundry with the governor of California, then this place isn't for you. However, if you prefer to eat home cooking with the only president not elected to the presidency or vice presidency, then you will enjoy Goldmine.

As you first walk in you realize that the best years of the furnishings is past. However, there is ample evidence of improvements being made.

The staff for each of my visits has been friendly and very accommodating on recommendations.

The food is exquisite. Where the restaurant lacks new furniture, it more than makes up for it in the food. Everything on the menu is delicious, the portions are very generous. So much so, that one meal could easily be two meals. The menu has breakfast items served Monday through Friday, not sure if the hours for breakfast. Lunch specials are served 11-3. They also have daily dinner specials. In addition to good American comfort foods, there are also Tex-Mex selections. Under Tex-Mex is beef stew, normally do not associate beef stew with Tex-Mex, but this was delicious and flavorful. It also deserved its place under Tex-Mex.

If you happen to be in Garland with the family and are looking for a place that serves exceptional food, go to Goldmine. Like an actual goldmine, the furnishings and surroundings are down to earth and rather plain. Also, like a goldmine, the finished product shines with luster and is something...
