A legendary California diner on PCH — serving legendary burgers, all-day breakfast, Mexican plates, and ice cream shakes around the clock. Huge portions. Customizable everything.
The Golden Star Story
On West Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach, there's a place that never turns off the lights. Golden Star Restaurant is the kind of California diner that defines a neighborhood — where truckers pull over for a midnight burger, families stop after Sunday church, and regulars know exactly what they're ordering before they sit down.
The menu is a love letter to the California table: charbroiled burgers built your way, all-day breakfast from dawn to whenever you need it, house-made taquitos and burritos, Spencer steak dinners, grilled Atlantic salmon, and — the finishing touch — hand-scooped ice cream shakes. And yes, they let you customize everything.
Guests consistently praise the chili cheddar burger, the honest portions (described as "very large — I can never finish without hurting myself"), the clean kitchen, and the genuinely friendly owners who keep things running. Whether you need a 2 AM patty melt or a proper Sunday brunch, Golden Star delivers with the laid-back confidence of a place that has nothing left to prove.

Guest Reviews
"The hamburger from here is good. Tasty. The fries and onion rings are good as well. I enjoyed my lunch here. Good prices. I appreciate the service here 🙏."
"I had a Denver Omelette and it was served with toast and real butter. Most places will use margarine... I'll definitely return for breakfast and or lunch."
"Very large portions — I can never finish without hurting myself. The chili is very tasty and I would highly recommend the chili cheese burger. This place is amazing — they let you customize everything."
"The owners are very nice and friendly. The burgers are always amazing and the staff always keep everything clean and the food moving out quickly. Plenty of space for truckers to grab a bite to eat."
