Golden Eagle Restaurant

Right across from the Costco in Signal Hill, the Golden Eagle Restaurant Long Beach serves up family-style comfort food similar to what I grew up in Chicagoland Greek restaurants, except with a SoCal twist (e.g. Good Breakfast burritos!).Golden Eagle Signal Hill has been around since 1988 (the original opened in 1971 in Torrance). There's a dedicate parking lot, but it seems to fill up quickly. It is set-up as fast food, where you get in line, place/pay your order (no opportunity for tip), and then find a place to sit. They do serve lunch and dinner as well (with a small menu), but we came for their all-day breakfast.Customers seem to come in waves: One minute there could be nobody in line to order, and the next, a line going back to the back. Coffee and soda is self serve, and the station is next to the order-taking register, which causes congestion....nothing a couple of 'excuse-me's' couldn't solve. The coffee station had sugar (but no substitutes) and single serve creamers. My mother-in-law said her small coffee ($3.19) was fine.Our food came out pretty quickly (with silverware and napkins), delivered by a super-congenial young man, who offered extra plates, silverware, and more salsa for my burrito. The winner meal was the Hot Cakes Combo, choice of meat ($13.39 even though the menu board said $13.99). It is even cheaper ($10.89) if ordered before 11 (we just missed it). The 3 Hot cakes were so fluffy, just loved by my wife and Mom. I had a bite and it was very good, very light. It came with choice of egg and meat (scrambled and bacon in our case). There were 5 strips of thick cut bacon, very crispy (almost shattering as you bit down) if that's how you like it.If you search for best breakfast burrito in Long Beach, Golden Eagle seems to pop up a lot. I liked mine ($10.79), filled with both bacon and sausage. It had a lightly seasoned homemade salsa inside, so the extra salsa that I got was useful. One thing I noticed is that the egg inside was prepared like an omelet (with the diced vegetables and bacon mixed in), and then the thin omelet being rolled along with tortilla and melted cheddar cheese...resulting in a well balanced burrito in each bite. It's a smart way to make it. It was big enough for me to bring half of it home.Each table has needed condiments, like syrup, ketchup and hot sauce (both Tabasco and Tapatio), along with napkins. I mention this since there really isn't table service (though they do deliver the food and will bus). So having some cash for tip before you leave is a good idea.

My last review was 7 years ago. I appreciate the consistency at Golden Eagle.I always get the broasted chicken dinner which is made hour and fresh to order with 4 large pieces of chicken which comes with a basic green salad, fries, onion rings and a grilled dinner roll.I have two requests:1. Except for the salad, the dinner is all carbs. I'd really enjoy having an option of potato salad instead of the onion rings, or an ear of corn would be nice.2. The second request is to offer a fresh turkey dinner during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Roast turkey not the watery roll turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce.Keep up the good work. We come from near LAX once a week to dine at Golden Eagle.The dining room is always spotless. The servers are always polite and friendly.

Simple food, but good and large portions. I've only come for breakfast but everyone I've brought here loves it. Service is fast and very friendly. They walk around and refill coffee and clear your plates. Ambiance is simple with a bunch of booths and a patio area too. Great breakfast deals before 11am.

We really like the breakfast burritos from Golden Eagle. The redtaurant is clean and rmployees are nice

Although the front servers are generally standoffish and rude, the food is always good. I enjoy the bacon cheese burgers and especially the fried zucchini and ranch. Don't love that they charge extra for ranch but what are you gonna do, I need more ranch so I pay, even though it's extremely cheap to charge for more ranch

An old fashioned American diner, what more could you want. The food is always great quality and fast. Today I went with the breakfast burrito, was not let down. The restaurant always has customers which is a great sign. Will come back again!

Stopped by here to try it out. I was very pleased with the customer service, quality of food and cleanliness.

They never disappoint. Food is always yummy and the staff is excellent. Love eating here too when it's not so busy.

Shout out to Golden Eagle for making this amazing Chicken Strip salad and their excellent customer service. I love the staff there been coming here for many many years and there food always taste great.

Around 2-3 times a month I visit and the burgers, onion rings, and the ranch all taste amazing, I love the service and the cashier is cheerful, the environment of the restaurant is great giving off old fashioned vibes not missing a beat!
