I love this restaurant! The food is terrific when you go there. Please try John Wayne. I’m not a big fan of salsa, but this place's salsa is impressive. The cozy and comfy restaurant also!!! Don’t forget to get the waffle!! The price is reasonable too. Thanks for the good food! I will come back again.
The food was delicious! I shared with our server, Tony, that I liked spicy food and let him order for me. Ended up with a John Wayne, over medium and a bottle of Melinda's Trinidad Moruga Scorpion sauce. It didn't disappoint!
Love having the server order when visiting somewhere different because I get to experience something different. This was a great choice!
One of the heart of East Dallas jewels! As soon as you step inside you will feel the warmth and hear a hello! Then seat yourself - tables or one of the deliciously old school vinyl seat wrapped booths. George, owner and chief welcomer is sure to be swiftly at your spot, looking you in the eye and sincerely asking how your day is rolling. The eggs anyway you want, just right greasy sausage Patty's always hit the spot. Don't miss there John Wayne! Music and movies add to the delicious funky diner vibe.
We went Thursday morning around 11a.m. it got pretty active at that time. It's a family run restaurant with Virgil/Mark working hard in the kitchen and George working just as hard taking orders and working the register. Because is so good several folks walked in and stood waiting for a much sought after spot. I ordered the John Wayne which has hash browns, sunny side eggs bacon and salsa piled into a beautiful crescendo. It's much a throwback spot in clouding a John Wayne velvet painting on the wall. Tell them
Lilia sent you.
I’ve been coming to this place for 20 years. The John Wayne plate has cured hangovers that would kill a mule and the coffee is dark as midnight plus it keeps coming until you’re jittering so hard you can’t hold the mug!
Seriously though, the nicest folks serving fresh made food in a laid back atmosphere. If you want to eat like an East Dallas local, this is the spot!
Goldrush Cafe delivers an old school atmosphere of a small town diner. The people are friendly and the food is affordable. I ordered the Reuben Sandwich and it tastes delicious. The place is always packed during lunchtime so seating will be difficult to find. Also, the bathroom is clean. I love the environment and I will definitely be returning!
You know I've been coming to this restaurant for quite a few years and I've never posted a review I just thought about it but this place is excellent excellent food excellent service the owner George is awesome Anthony I believe that's his nephew is awesome great conversation great coffee overall just a awesome place
You know it’s good when you walk in to a diner and the servers/owners start calling the locals by their name. The best Eggs Benedict in town! Everything here is terrific from burgers, sides to the people, staff and ambience. Definitely a local gem we stumbled upon and have been returning every Saturday since. Our usuals are eggs benedicts, short stack and club sandwich to go! Because, why not? There tends to be a wait in the mornings but recommend after 1pm on Saturdays to avoid the crowd. We love the food the place and its got that cozy feel that you will keep returning!
I got a customized chicken vege omelets with French toast and it was amazing. I saw a lot of regulars come in at 7am before going to work! I highly recommend.
Great family atmosphere with a bunch of characters! The best place to start the day in Dallas.
