Long Beach's All-Night Diner on PCH — Golden Star Never Closes
In a city as busy as Long Beach, not every craving arrives at a convenient hour. That's why Golden Star Restaurant on West Pacific Coast Highway keeps its lights on around the clock — Monday through Saturday, 24 hours a day, with no interruption. Whether you need a burger at 11 PM, a full steak dinner at 3 AM, or a Denver omelette just after sunrise, Golden Star is open and ready.
The restaurant sits on one of Southern California's most iconic stretches of road — Pacific Coast Highway — making it a natural pit stop for everyone from local families to long-haul truckers, from USC and Long Beach State students grabbing a late bite to tourists discovering the California diner for the first time. The parking lot is large and trucker-accessible, and the drive-thru means you can grab food without even stepping out of your cab.
The menu is broad by design. There are 15+ charbroiled burgers — including the legendary Chili Cheddar Burger, the Big G.S. with bacon and avocado, and El Guapo with made-to-order guacamole. There's an all-day breakfast section with Spencer Steak & Eggs, Huevos Rancheros, and the towering Gold Giant (four slices of French toast, bacon and three eggs). There are full dinner entrees — grilled Atlantic salmon, Spencer steak, fried chicken — all served with house salad or homemade soup. And then there are the hand-scooped ice cream milkshakes, which regulars drive out of their way for.
