The sopapilla enchiladas are one of the best breakfast dishes I've ever had. Good Bloody Mary. Servers should make it clear when there is an upcharge when offering substitutions like tots instead of fries or making the Bloody Mary spicy (yes, that was $1).
Great atmosphere! Jesse our server was incredibly positive and hospitable. Food was well portioned and presented. Manager was approachable, knowledgeable and professional. If ordering the zucchini pancakes ask to omit the green onions. Pancakes were cold. But EVERYTHING ELSE was wonderful.
Brought my man here for dinner since he's never been! We arrived on a Monday evening around 7:30pm. They weren't busy since it was close to closing time. Our server, Blake, was great in making recommendations and checking on us frequently. I had the birria burrito which had a nice flavor and full with meat. The tortilla did get a little soggy towards the end but overall it was pretty good. The consume was flavored well too!
I recently returned to Golden West for the first time in a long time. We were planning on just getting a quick pastry or sweet treat but ended up enjoying some carnitas nachos. We sat in the back bar area in the couch section which is beautifully decorated with thriving plants. It's such a vibe! It was around 4pm so we weren't super hungry but wanted a little nosh. The carnitas nachos caught my eye. The nachos came out fairly quickly and were made with yummy, melty cheese and delicious shredded carnitas. The carnitas has so much flavor as if they had been marinated in a careful combination of spices for hours (I sensed some nutmeg or cinnamon in there maybe?). I was impressed since I know Golden West is known as a vegan friendly spot but they sure know how to prepare some delicious carnitas too. Although this was a quick stop in, it was a good reminder that Golden West is tried and true and just as good as I remember.
I stopped here when I was in Baltimore last weekend and it was so good! I got the chicken and Brie sandwich at it was to die for! As a garlic lover the garlic fries were amazing, but buyer beware, you will need a mint after eating them. The service was lovely and was matched with a very cute interior. It felt so cozy and relaxed. We were sat at a table with a sofa and it almost felt like we were in friends at Central Perk! A must go!
