Goldenrod Restaurant Drive-In

Classic local counter service with burgers, fried seafood and more. Popular stop for ice cream and outdoor window service. It can get busy and food made to order, so not fast food. I enjoyed a lobster roll, nicely toasted buttered hot dog bun and the mayo and lobster was fresh and sweet. While I recommend the lobster roll, it was small, but the price was balanced to match. Fries seemed battered and crispy. Cole slaw was chopped fine, almost pureed, very wet and under seasoned in a small lidded cup i would expect to see a side sauce served in. Fountain drink cups are perhaps 12 oz and small, however refilling is an option. Overall it was a blast from the past and worth the visit.

Only came here for the ice cream! The Maple Walnut is a staple in New England and they have some tasty stuff! Highly recommend getting if you’re looking for some good old New England ice cream! So creamy and delicious flavors!Recommended dishesHot Fudge, Fudge

Worse experience. Been coming here for 20+ years. Chicken tnders tasted like they were store bought frozen. These are definately different.The price went up 3.00, less onion rings and chicken. Food was cold. Also price adjustment again starting september 1st.

Great place to get some fried seafood delicacies! I had the clam belly plate and was happy as a clam with my food! Pun intended of course We also had some ice cream for dessert which was also very god, chocolate with peanut butter swirl! It seems a bit pricey but the food and staff all make it worth the price so stop in and get some food food.

I've been coming here every since I was a kid mainly for ice cream, but I tried their clam strips out the other day and I wasn't sure what to expect, but they were actually pretty good! We also got 4 ice creams which were delicious, but a little difficult to eat out of the cup as they forgot to give us spoons!

Wow the fishermen's platter was sooooo good. Unreal how good the food is. I would rate it more like 10 stars

Went again today. Another lobster roll, just the right size! Hotdog bun was nicely toasted. The clams were excellent, fried to perfection. The half gallon icecreams are inside, we brought home a black rasp every and it was excellent. Actually tasted like fruit! Ordered outside, ate inside. Great prices, food was awesome. Try the lobster roll...perfect! Clean tables, counters and restrooms. Suggestion: hand out plasticware with the meal so I don't have to worry that someone touched it. Features: Tables, chairs and counters were cleaned constantly.

Always a treat. This time we just stopped in for some ice cream floats, perfect size, short wait and delicious. This is a good spot for fried seafood and chicken tenders, take out, very casual styled dinning inside with A/C.

The food here is always usually good. It's a great alternative to get a chicken tender plate that's very similar to the puritan. The only downside is that the past few times I've been to order the chicken tender plate for my husband and myself the chicken portion has been a lot smaller and the fry portion seems to have increased. Parking: Parking can be a challenge especially on busy days. There is parking right in front of the establishment, but if there are lots of people trying to order or wait for their order. Sometimes those spaces are taken up by customers waiting in line. The restaurant most definitely needs a bigger parking lot for being such a popular place to eat.

My husband and I love smelts and we have had a very difficult time finding restaurants that serve them. A friend recently was at Goldenrod Restaurant and saw them on the menu. We immediately drove there and we're delighted to find that not only did they serve smelt plates,but they were absolutely delicious! The smelts were lightly fried in a panko batter and among the best we've ever had. The fries and coleslaw were also terrific. We are eagerly looking forward to frequently returning to the Goldenrod Restaurant and enthusiastically encourage any other smelt lovers to give it a try!
