Golden Eagle Diner — Restaurant in Seaford

TLDR version, the food and service was so embarassing, I felt I had to apologize to my fiance for taking her there. I offered her Taco Bell because the Eagle Diner's food was so bad she couldn't eat it. Save yourself and go to the Stargate Diner across the street. Will never return.

The service was not attentive until I started begging for drink refills. We ordered hot Italian sausage and mozerella potato skins for our appetizer and a burger each (hers a bacon burger and mine a mix burger) with fries and a cup of the Friday special cream of crab soup and to top it off we ordered a slice of apple pie. it We ended up getting served our soup as the appetizer. It was barely warm and had hardly any crab in it. Quite frankly, if you want cream of crab soup the Stargate Diner across the street has way better. Next we got our potato skins, which were not potato skins at all. They were poorly baked potatoes cut in half with what tasted like week old sausage cut into strips and topped with the blandest mozerella I have ever had. On the plus side it was the only thing served hot all night... Since Eagle Diner clearly has no idea, I hope they pay attention to this; potato skins have the insides cut out and are then filled with delicious stuff, not last week's leftovers. The burgers came out about a minute after the potato skins and the dissapointment deepened. It was at this point I realized the owner must be a cheapskate. The bun alone was about half the food on my plate. The burgers were tiny and one was cut in half (I'm assuming to check the temperature, we ordered medium and they were well done and they sent it anyway.) They were completely unseasoned and also tasted like they were a week old. The waitress had asked us both if we wanted lettuce and tomato and we both said yes. Mine did not have lettuce and tomato. My mix burger was supposed to have roasted peppers but apparently that was too difficult so I got raw peppers instead. I also got another blob of this flavorless goo they call mozerella cheese. My fiance took one bite of her bacon burger and declared it inedible and stopped eating. I don't understand how anyone can make something with bacon taste so bad it's not worth eating. Officially the worst burgers we ever had and that includes fast food. Seriously, McDonalds has better burgers. The fries were cold and slightly soggy so they must have been old as well. Since my fiance had stopped eating at this point and was facing the bar she pointed out to me that the owner was just chilling drinking a beer instead of actually working. Apparently, the only things he can do is take your money, slice pies and cakes and down some beers at the bar. We ended up getting that pie to go because we wanted to get out of there as fast as we could. She tried it when we got home and it had raw apples in it. Seasonings, fresh ingredients and serving food hot must be an unnecessary expense and/or an inconvenience to the Eagle Diner. To anyone who reads this, please, I beg of you, to just go across the street to the Stargate Diner. They do everything the Eagle Diner does, but actually have good service and...

Golden Eagle delivers the diner experience without the drab trappings of sacrifice that are an all-together commonplace today for the greater number of eateries flying under the "Diner" flag! Anyone thirsty for the down-home style cooking that'll stick to your ribs & recharge the soul, you'll find that on page ONE - and at portions & prices that'll make you wonder just what is in a price when eating out because chances are you'll be making space in your fridge for the 2AM "Round-2 Rendezvous!"

Boasting a bevy of belly-ready blessings, the plurality of faire is an absolutely MASSIVE list of offerings! Even the pickiest of eaters with the worst ability to pick out something to eat should have no problem finding something that tickles their fancy here!

I don't often give pretty solid reviews of praise because I really want people seeking a review to get a good idea of the place - just as I'd like to receive reading others' synoptic foibles! This place deserves it though! From before you even walk in the door, the exterior exudes an aire of the nostalgic with that polished chrome signature look well known and associated to the classic Winnebago. Then you get inside and the place is just phantasmagoric! It feels impossible that it could be as large as it really is inside for its deceptively smaller exterior appearance! Then to service such a largely variable clientele; as well as servinng such a large variety of food at large portions - you'd expect a large price - but nope! Somehow, Golden Eagle pulls it all off beautifully and makes you feel good at the same time which is a hard feat these days! It's clean, the staff is friendly, the food is great, I'm not going to say it's five star quality but you're also not paying for Five Star Quality nor are they promising it! But I can promise you'll have a good time, you'll eat some really good food and you will not leave hungry or empty-handed most likely!

Come to Seaford for the unique imprinting that Dupont has left in its wake of scandal - but eat at the Golden Eagle! At least ONE of those two things will leave you speechless in a good way :-)!

Review by Nick Bozman -Fickle Food...

Let's talk "Golden Eagle Diner" in Seaford, Delaware. I just left there after finding a 2 inch long round wavy piece of metal in my Chicken Alfredo meal. I know, Great huh!!!!! I ate the 1 side vegetable, the ice cream, the slice of toast, and a few pieces of chicken that was on the meal. He offered to get something else for me but really, after that, why on earth would I want to. Then the owner was only going to take 4.99 off for the meal which was 16.99. I am sorry but the right thing to do is to say, I am sorry. Let me take the cost of your meal off. Instead he wanted to debate the issue when I told him to just charge me 6 dollars for the meal due to not getting to eat anything but what I listed above. He insisted he took 4.99 off and that should be good. During the debate he even had the audacity to comment "who knows, you may have even put it in there yourself". What kind of BS Comment is that. Especially after he had already stated it must have come off of the stove. Then during the debate he made the rude comment that were trying to get our food for free. How is that when I clearly stated I will pay but want the charge for my meal to be changed to 6.00. (Which still should've been for free due to their kitchen staff's inadequacy and faulty kitchen equipment. ) This owner is a bad business owner that has a sincere lack of customer service skills. Their door should have a sign on it that readS, EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE I'LL TURN THE BLAME BACK ON...
