Golden Griddle is a landmark for any child. If you somehow missed this train when you were young, it's probably too late for you to appreciate the sometimes grungy atmosphere. By grungy I mean that it never feels like the cleanest, highest quality place, even though nothing looks out of place. It's just that skin crawly feeling you get.
Anyway, I grew up loving Golden Griddle, so I do enjoy what they offer. Weekends are breakfast buffets, and during the week this 24-hour diner is a sure fire place to get eggs and coffees whenever you want. Tuesdays are all-you-can-eat pancakes days, which means Tuesdays are also stuff-your-face-with-pancakes-first-thing-and-spend-the-rest-of-your-day-rolling-around-instead-of-walking days.
