Great service, delicious food and an old school vibe, absolutely love this place! Worth every penny, highly recommend!!

Crazy old diner with junk vibes and good food at a reasonable cost with friendly waitresses and host- what more do you need?

Great service, great food, always on top of the world! George hads kept this place always available for all customers for a long time.

Even better than before. The John Wayne cannot be beaten. I get mine with sausage and grilled onions and bell peppers. Salsa on the side. The hash browns are crispy which you rarely ever get. Eat half then the other half like a taco. Fantastic. Service is so quick and efficient and the ambiance is great as they have added an ELVIS outside. They also have $3 beers 12-3 on Thursday and Fridays.

This was my first visit here and I must say it lives up to it's reputation. Since I and my family were sitting near the door I wasn't able to take in the full ambiance of the place but from what I saw I'd say "quirky " with a nod to Elvis. The food was good diner fare and the servings were generous. I had the Taco Omelett. Topped with a generous amount of cheese, the filling was well seasoned taco meat. I opted for the refried beans and toast. Delicious and filling. Others had the eggs, sausage, hash browns, and biscuit And a pancake. The eggs were beautifully sunny side up. The biscuits looked light and fluffy. Pancakes came with butter and a shot glass of syrup. Service was unobtrusive and efficient. And the place was packed with folks waiting outside. Parking can be tight in front. I'm not sure about other parking options. The Gold Rush Cafe's reputation is well earned. I'll be back.

Embarrassed it took me so long to try this place but it's great for breakfast. Classic diner treats (and they have beer/wine!). Expect to wait but it's worth it.

This place is like a Texas version of Luke's Diner from the Gilmore Girls. It's homey, loved by the community and the food speaks for itself I ordered the chicken fried steak. It was perfectly seasoned. The gravy was very tasty. I didn't order coffee but my friends did and the staff was very attentive when it came to refills. If ever in Dallas, I'll be sure to come back. Thank you for the energy boost Goldrush!

Came here in the morning looking for a quality breakfast experience and was definitely left satisfied! The service here was great and the ambience, especially if you're from Dallas, was awesome. They have plenty of memorabilia to gaze upon from Dallas sports teams to John Wayne. They really do have a little bit of everything. Their menu is exciting and fun to look through as they have tons of breakfast options to pick from. The names of some of their dishes are interesting too as one is literally named after John Wayne himself. I had the corn beef and hash with eggs over easy. It also came with hash browns and a choice of grits, toast, or English muffins. Overall, I definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice hole in the wall breakfast joint in the Lakewood area of Dallas!
