Golden Spike Burgers - Garland

The food and service here were very good. We'll definitely be back if we come to another soccer game up here. The gyros and burgers were delicious and fairly reasonably priced. They could use some better venting as the smoke from the grill was definitely noticeable in the eating area, but we were very pleased with the food. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $1–10

Ok, so I 've read the negative reviews and all I have to say about that is STOP IT!! This is one of America 's quintessential mom pop greasy spoons. 1st, yes, I only have them 3 stars for atmosphere cuz there really isn 't any, but that 's not what you come to a place like Golden Spike Burgers for. You always hear people say, ooooo yah, I wanna find an off the beaten path mom pop hole in the wall dive restaurant... that 's where you find the best food. Well, that 's exactly what you 've got here, folks, but some of you still want to complain that, aesthetically, it 's not up to snuff. News flash... IT 'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE! If that 's what you 're looking for, try Mickey D 's... if your one of those who 've clearly missed the whole point of this place, McD 's is probably more your speed anyway. Now to the food... and it is marvelous! I had the pastrami sandwich, and the name alone just doesn 't do it justice. Really, it 's closer to a Cuban. It 's a hot sandwich, made with delectable, lean pastrami, cheese, and mustard, served on a toasted hoagie bun. And the fries!! OMG, the fries!! Hands down, the absolute BEST fries I 've had in about 45 years. I cannot put into words how blissful (yes, that 's right, blissful) these fries are. My wife had the chicken burrito (no surprise to those of you who may have read any of my other reviews). When I asked her how her lunch was, she offered only 1 word, amazing! Afterward, she told me that the green sauce they served over the burrito was the best shed ever had. Pretty high praise coming from her. We live nearly 100 miles from Golden Spike Burgers, and it is, without question, worth the drive. We 'll definitely make the trip to this wonderful mom pop, greasy spoon, dive again!!
