"We have been patrons of the Golden Spur, on and off for 30 years. In the last year the quality of food has declined. Let me qualify this, Golden Spur had the top steak and fish dinners. Now, over priced and very poor quality. So many people we know that use to patronize the restaurant are no longer customers because of the same reasons."

"Seafood platter was good. I ordered a Pacific Red Snapper dish but it was pan fried and little bit oily. I prefer grilled Red snapper rather than pan fried."

"Delicious steaks! The wine list could certainly be improved, as well as some of the pastas. One of my dining companions found her past slightly under-sauced, but otherwise tasty. A large improvement from the previous owners."

"Golden Spur is a favorite for special occasions or date night. This local favorite is one of the last 'dinner houses' for a leisure dinner meal with wonder atmosphere & service. Michelle was our server & she took good care of us. Thank You!"

"We were a little dissappointed that we were not aware that it was a brunch menu versus a regular menu. Our reservations were at the tail end of the brunch which made the overall experience less than appealing. Staff did give us fresh prime rib, shrimp or fruity if the restaurant ran out."

"White linen on the tables and cushy booths. Lots of main-dish meat and seafood choices on the menu. Good food, good service, and a nice ambiance. Two of our party had meat dishes, a prime rib and a steak. And three of us had various seafood dishes. All of us enjoyed our dinners.
A melodic singer-guitarist performing subtly in the background was the icing on the cake. This was a very pleasant dining experience, and we will be coming back!"

"Went for my lady friends birthday and everything was perfect.. Our waiter (Jerry) was the best and we had a memorable dinner complete with a piece of cake (excellent) to honor her day. If I felt a need to complain it was only that we were seated to close to the bar and when the band came on we had a difficult time talking across the table. Next time I'll request a booth or a table away from the bar. Not a serious issue ...we'll just know better next time and there will be next times."

"The best thing here is the sampler plate. The crab cakes could have been a bit moister but wasn't that bad - better than half the crab cakes I've had in Maryland. For a steak place, they need to learn to cook the steak better. I asked for medium rare and it was bone dry and over cooked, proving once again that California chefs don't know how to cook steak like they do in Texas."

"Not the place to go for a special occasion. Bar service slow. Could be they were having just a bad night. Bar was full, restaurant was not.
We had reserved a table through OpenTable and specified that we were celebrating our 44th. anniversary. Somehow this slipped between the cracks. All other reservations with special occasions listed were acknowledged by the restaurant, even without reminding the front desk. Sometimes recognition is just a special wish and sometimes with a desert or some other little extra."

"Good restaurants in this area are few and far between. This one has been here for years, as the decor shows. Rather dark and dated. Service was pretty good but I found the food to be average. I go here when visiting with friends more because there few other choices than because of the ambiance and food."

"The food was great as always but, tonight the service was very lackluster which is not normal. The waitress seemed occupied with other guests arriving and we hardly saw her. She never asked how we were doing and I had to ask for a refill on my ice tea. If this was the first time there, I would probably not return but, I do know that this is not normal."

"Food was good except for the steak. I ordered my steak medium well and it was rare when it arrived so I sent it back for additional cooking and it was still very red when it was returned. By that time I had eaten bread, soup and vegetables so I brought the steak home and cooked it the next day. The wait staff was pleasant and my party had a nice time."

The steak and prime rib were prepared to our liking and the mussels were absolutely delicious. We enjoy the food here and the prices are very reasonable. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly."
