Golden Star Restaurant — Restaurant in Long Beach

Our 1st time on a Thursday around 6pm. There were like two other parties of two eating there. We were greeted and seated down right away. The place is celebrating 60 years, it's family owned. The seats go around most of the table and are hard and old. They could really use some work. Nevertheless, we were excited to check out this place. The host was nice and brought menus. He took our drink order and came back shortly to take our order. The wifey and I both ordered burgers. She went with the avocado burger and onion rings, I went with 1/3 LB cheeseburger with fried zucchini. The food took a bit, and when it came out, we jumped right in. Everything looked great and big in size. The zucchini was great with ranch dressing. The onion rings along with the burgers were lacking flavor. We both found ourselves adding black pepper and a little bit of salt to bring out the flavor. I think the meat patty and the breading used on onion rings could use some seasoning. The servers came around a few times to check on us. We thought that was nice. The food could definitely use more flavor for our taste, but the place and...

I wish there was a no star option! It was the worst dining experience I've ever had. My husband and I decided to have breakfast there to patronize a local business. It took 45 minutes to be served, when we finally were served pur food was cold and the order was wrong. The server was annoyed that we asked to warm up the food and bring the correct order. The orders were finally served and there was hair on the plates! We let the server know and her response was, " ok, sorry what do you want me to do?!" There was no humility or attempt to correct the problem. We asked for a manager and we're told there wasn't one. This was interesting considering our table and one other asked to change the TV from soccer to football (it was Sunday morning) and we're told they had to get permission. From whom if there's no manager on duty?! I hope they hire a new staff so they can be around...

We went for breakfast. There were 2 other tables that had already been served. We waited a few minutes for anyone to come to table when she finally came and took our drink order she talked so fast we could barely understand what she was saying. Waited again for our drinks finally another person came and took our order. I asked her to have my eggs cooked with no runny whites with yolks cooked. My husband waited to have coffee refilled this only happened one time. In the meantime we are now the only people there. Server kept saying food almost ready. 30 minutes later we finally got the order. Potatoes were good. Bacon was good Eggs were barely cooked. Decided not to send back as I did not want to wait another half hour to get them back. Jam was good. Service was horrible. Unfortunately we like to support our local businesses but...
