The Goldenrod is a beloved beach town diner located on Short Sands Beach, offering a unique experience with its in-store candy, fudge, and taffy making. Established in 1896, this restaurant is a must-visit, although visitors should be prepared for crowds and potential wait times. The friendly staff and lively atmosphere, which includes a bar area, dining section, and candy shop, create a fun environment. The restaurant features a cute old-time candy shop and a cozy dining area, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal and watch candy being made in the front window. The menu may not be the strongest, but the variety of treats, including made-on-premises taffy, pies, and ice cream, adds to the lively vibe. Visitors can enjoy watching taffy being pulled and wrapped, with a new special taffy flavor each week. The Goldenrod is especially popular with families and kids of all ages, offering wheelchair accessibility via a ramp. Its on-street parking and nearby parking lot make it easy to visit. While it can get busy, the Goldenrod remains a classic spot worth experiencing.
