The Golden Lion Cafe UNCLAIMED

It looks like they're back to normal with a full menu again. I had the usual fish and chips and husband had the fish tacos and both were excellent. Plus the cocktails were delicious. Our server was terrific and the views as awesome as ever.

Had some great tacos here and my wife liked the fish and chips. The drinks were great and the server was friendly but food was slow coming our. The vibe is awesome and the live music was excellent.

It's not a great environment right now with construction work going on, the rooftop closed at the time, plastic sheets on the sides, and the kitchen in a trailer made it all feel like you're dining on a construction site, then again, I guess you are! The food was quite good but tasted like it was hurried. We did have an amazing server, though, who made our day. I'll wait until the upgrades are complete before I return, and excited to see how it turns out.

You really need good weather to fully appreciate the Golden Lion! It's mostly an outdoor restaurant and you can feel the wind more on the upper deck, plus the Lion experience makes the food taste so much better. But it was still good and they're operating out of a temporary kitchen while they renoavte. Our server was great and drinks were good. I'll be back

They have a lot of construction going on but remain open with a limited menu and a temporary kitchen. The food was good but didn't quite have the taste it had before. It's also served on disposable plates. Our server was great but the upper deck was closed when we were there which was disappointing.

Calamari was possibly the worst I’ve ever had. Menu was very limited everything is fried. Sides were only 2 options, either French fries or coleslaw. Beer was cold and server was pleasant but $65 for lunch was not worth the visit.

The Golden Lion is always a top choice for us when on a night out. Their food is quite good but we like its vibes and always have a great time. If you want better food their sister restaurant Next Door has some amazing choices.

Food quality down, prices up... we used to like going for dinner here but after last time we won’t go back.

We're new to the area, and we stopped here while cruising the A1A. We thought it was exactly the kind of place we had been looking for. The Golden Lion is the kind of place that captures true Florida dining to us and we enjoyed everything about it. We had an amazing seafood tower and split their key lime pie which was awesome. We also loved the cocktails and our server was very cool and told us about the local area. The views of the beach were spectacular. I sound like an ad but we really did enjoy it here 😋👏🏼🍹🦐🍤

he Golden Lion is our favorite place to hang in Flagler Beach as it’s far less biker-ish or rough as the other places. The top deck is the place to be for views and sun rays. We usually order from the raw bar and go through too many cocktails LOL Great staff and service too!

Great weather today and the place was busy and buzzing. Always love sitting on top and our server was a happy little thing and she kept checking on us. Food was slow coming out but that's understandable on a holiday. Everything was very good except the asparagus appetizer which was almost raw and like pieces of wood. Their cocktails are dangerously addictive 🍹

The fish and chips are a must here, and the fish sandwiches and burgers are awesome too. We like sitting at either the tiki bar or the upper deck which has the best ocean views. The whole restaurant has a cool island vibe and they have some great tunes. Staff are young and energetic.

We had a great lunch here. Our server was very cool and efficient and the food was delicious. I had the fish n chips and my wife had the battered fish sandwich and both were excellent. Cocktails were great too. The view was as awesome as ever.

We loved sitting up top with the great views but service was slow and the food could have been better. Drinks were good. We thought it was pricey for the quality of the food, but we did enjoy our time here.

Gross food, couldn't finish it. Took it home and threw it away. Long Johns has better fish and chips.

10 years ago, the Golden Lion was a good place, perhaps a great place. But over those 10 years the prices have increased dramatically. Okay I can understand that, but then shouldn't the quality of the food be at least the same? Went there for lunch on a Thursday. Had the fish and chips which were normally wonderful, but they were bland and it was this huge fried dough is all I can think of to describe it.

Sorry, but we found much better fish and chips for a much better price. Just a few miles away. And I'm so sorry to report this, but it is what it is.

Our server was awesome and the Coconut Shrimps and Thai fish Tacos were superb! Pegged a great table on top and the views couldn't be beaten. Great lively beachy atmosphere.

Fun place to eat and drink! Food was pretty good and loved the drinks. Liked the fish sandwich. Service at the bar was good but a little hard to get their attention.

Hubs and me had an awesome time here today. The weather was gorgeous and the views perfect. We enjoyed our food and drinks. Their raw bar is tops. Service was sluggish though which may be due to the holiday weekend crowd.

Highlight of visit: The raw bar is fresh.

We're visiting this wonderful area from the UK and were told we had to try the fish and chips at the Golden Lion. Although we didn't travel all this way to eat fish and chips, we thought we'd give it a go as the weather was terrific, and it looked like a good spot to dine al fresco. The latter was very true, the setting is very enjoyable and the views are tremendous. The service needed some improvement with attentiveness and the timing from the kitchen was off. As for the fish and chips, to us they tasted more like a frozen dinner type than what we are used to back home, but our daughter very much enjoyed her tacos. The cocktails were quite good, although no unique creations were offered, and I just received a blank stare when I requested a drink off the menu. I feel the Golden Lion is a fun place to eat and if the setting was removed, it would not be so popular.
