“We saw this breakfast place while passing by and decided to stop and have breakfast. It was late morning and only had 15 minutes left before breakfast time ended but they prepared a great breakfast of hash browns, cheese eggs, grits bacon and sausage with your choice of biscuits or toast. The coffee was delicious. The whole meal was filling and I will put it on my favorite breakfast places to visit list.“

“Got a 10pc wing combo meal and a bacon cheddar loaded fry. Prices are kinda steep. But a lot of places are nowadays. I had to loop around after getting my meal cause I didn’t notice any sauce on the wings they looked dry. But, Caitlyn was such a sweetheart ( red hair w glasses) she was so understanding and kind. She reassured me they could add more sauce on my wings and made sure my order was correct. I had questions about the size of the loaded fry cause it looked small.. however, she informed me about their sizes and prices. But I gotta admit even tho my fry looked small for $7…after getting home and digging in the meal actually fed me and my two kiddos. Guess my eyes can be bigger than my stomach lol. Not bad for $25 Overall the food was delicious. No complaints.“

“I called to inquire about catering an event. I was unsure what to order. The sweet lady that helped me was incredible! I believe she said she was the manager. My order was ready when I picked it up and exactly as promised! Our event was wonderful and everyone bragged on the chicken salad! (Classic Carol and Fancy Nancy) Thank you for even going the extra mile with the croissants!“

“Everyone,
If you haven’t tried Golden Wok and you love Chinese, you’re simply missing out!!! My personal favorite is the Spicy Bourbon. The prices are most definitely reasonable and the portions are WAY above average. You taste the freshness in everything you eat there. To top it off the staff is super courteous. If I’m in the mood for Chinese, this is my number #1 in the Locust Grove/McDonough area!!! Try them out.“

“The McDonough property is always very busy. I have never been without a thirty minuet wait to get a table for two or three people.. They have some tasty food items to choose from, and their hot butter croissants are so delicious .
My problem is the cook and waiters have to work at 110% to keep up with the orders. This time, my main course was brought out before the appetizers . They did ask if we still wanted them. To be nice to the very young waiter, we still accepted them.
It will be a long while before I choose to go again. The prices are reasonable, so if you have the time and patience it's a nice family place to eat.

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking and cut-out side walk directly in front of the main entrance.“
