Goldens On the Square

I love everything about this restaurant!!! The food is delicious and the employees are the best!!!!

We were referred here by friends who are regulars. There's parking on the street. When we opened the doors, we were pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful loft-style space with an open ceiling in black and rich hardwood floors and booths/tables. It was clean and fresh. We picked up our trays and selected one meat, two veggies, cornbread or roll, drink, and a dessert. There was a nice selection of proteins and veggies (cooked with turkey). Call ahead to find out that day's food options. Portions are generous. The staff (from the servers and cashier to the lady bussing the tables) was super helpful and friendly. Husband: turkey and dressing 5/5, fried okra 5/5, green beans 2/5; banana pudding 3/5; and tea. Me: fried chicken leg and breast, 4/5 (the breast was boneless and mixed in with the bone-in chicken. I prefer a bone and didn't realize this until I sat down); crowder peas, 3/5; collard greens, 3/5; cornbread muffins, 4/5; blackberry cobbler, 3/5; and tea. ***Total cost: $32ish plus tips; very reasonable! We look forward to trying them again. I highly recommend you try them for yourself. We saw several people picking up their to-go orders. They are open 11am-8pm and closed on Saturdays. Goldens is ideal for Sunday after church, family outings and just because.

The food is delicious!!! It's always fresh and seasoned perfectly. The service is excellent and the servers are very friendly. In top of all of that the prices are very affordable and you get a substantial serving enough to take left overs home.

Awesome southern cooking. Tip for the serving lines at register. Tip on the table for the busting of table on the table.

Mmmm mmmm - the food at Goldens is nutritious and delicious! Why would you go to a chain home cooking restaurant when you can get scratch, small batch vegetables, proteins, fresh breads (especially those amazing hush puppies just like my mother used to make), and desserts/fruit cobblers. I have dreams of the food at Goldens and cannot seem to get my fill. My husband and I recently moved to Newnan ftom the west coast and the food at Goldens, alone, more than justifies the move. Cannot wait for my next Goldens meal.

Goldens on the Square is our "Go To" restaurant. Their turkey and dressing would be a dish that I would serve at my table and be proud to claim I cooked it, it is very delicious! My favorite meal is the Fried Pork Chops on Wednesday. I can't think of a better meat and 2 or 3 vegetable restaurants any where! This is my favorite local restaurant, and I could eat there every day. The ladies on the serving line are always pleasant and they set the tone for the restaurant. Along with the brick interior and large windows it makes the restaurant a great dine-in location as well.

Located in the heart of the square in downtown Newnan, Goldens on the Square or "Goldens" as the locals refer to it as, is an institution in the City of Homes and has been a staple in the Newnan restaurant scene for many years! My family and I have been to Goldens many of times over the years for random lunches/dinners and for special occasions such as birthdays, graduations and the occasional holiday. Goldens is a cafeteria style restaurant where you head down the line and pick out your plate which usually consists of a meat, a few veggies, cornbread or roll and of course a drink...usually sweet tea! When you enter Goldens you are fed right into the line that will take you down to the counter. Once you get the front you will grab your tray and silverware and then point out what you want. They load you up and send you down the line where you pay and collect your bread choice before setting off into the dining room to get your drink and find a place to sit. Food wise you will find all the comforts of any southern restaurant including friend chicken, fried/grilled fish, country fried steak, hamburger/salsibury steak, baked turkey to name a few...they have rotating meats and sides and run specials on certain days as well. Speaking of sides you can rest assured that you will always find macaroni and cheese, collard greens, fried okra, steamed cabbage and a few other delish southern sides every day here! And to cap it all off you can always get some of their famed banana pudding! I will warn you that while the southern charm of the place does lend itself to a slower pace of life, this place stays moving on those busy days...especially Sunday afternoons! Do not be surprised if you catch the line out the door and see people hovering over tables waiting for folks to get up. Goldens isn't the largest of places, so be prepared to wait in line and for a table. Parking can be tricky here as Newnan has no public parking garage around downtown and the spaces on the actual square are pretty limited. However, you can find open lots about a block off the square. Overall, Goldens isn't the best food I have ever had...it is honestly mediocre at best...but it is more than the food here, at least for my family. It is years of memories and a constant place that has been part of our lives for years and will hopefully continue to play that role! We will certainly be back soon and you should give it a try and experience a little of Newnan!
