Eagles - North Adams

The Golden Eagle Restaurant is not worth eating at. The food is subpar and the overall vibe of the place is really old. They need a complete overhaul. The waitresses are fine. There are much better eateries in the Valley of North Adams. Even stopping at Wigwams is better.

Firstly I would've LIKED if they didn't decide ya know! to put cheese on my cheeseburger!!!!! It's absolutely infuriating to me! how would you feel if they decided hey let's put somethin on there that ya don't like!

We stopped here as a destination restaurant on our fall foliage trip. It was the perfect location, It seemed for lunch, such beautiful views. But we are sorely disappointed. The food was subpar and not worth the money that we paid. The food was not cooked completely. The french fries we had were warmed up, but that's about it. The BLT had legally enough bacon to pass, but it was pretty skimpy. We were surprised when we received our bill that there was an automatic, 18% tip added to it. When we arrived, we asked if we could split the bill among the couples that sat together , and they told us know they only billed by the table. They would not split the bill for us. So after we ate, we took out calculators to figure out who had what, what the tax should be and the hidden tip as well. The wait staff was friendly enough, but I would not recommend this restaurant. If you want the view, you can park nearby and get a good luck. If you're looking for food, I recommend you go to the FreightYard pub in North Adams, which is nearby.

We did a ride out on Sunday since it was a long time that we did the Mohawk Trail on Motorcycles. We were told to go here for food because it was great....well, not so much and I don 't complain usually but I also work in the food industry and this was definitely not great at all. The prices were high for what we ordered and she messed up 4 out of 7 orders. Again, I would not complain, but she wrote it all down...we had to ask a couple of times for drinks that we had ordered and she kept forgetting to bring them over. We were told she would give us waters because after all it was 90 degrees out. Those did not come until almost the end of the meal. Don 't get me wrong, stop and check out the view and maybe a drink but I would pass on the food....there are other places to check out.

I will preface that I have extremely low bar when it comes to expectations and am generally very generous with tipping as long as a minimum standard is met. That said, it says a lot when I tip poorly. I won't complain or make any scene, so the only way I can express my displeasure is in this way. My family was there tonight, as we hadn't found any place to stop to eat prior to this point. We were hungry, so we only required to be nourished. The food was great, but being hungry may have influenced this opinion. Also, the fact that it took nearly 20 minutes to get our order taken, with not even some bread while we waited. That came after the appetizers were finished. All of this, I am generally not critical. But one thing that I pay attention to is the attentiveness of service relative to how busy the establishment is. Tonight, at the highest point, there were 3 other parties there. Again, I don't expect much. Another thing is basic cleanliness. It is, after all, a food establishment. The small plates that were at the table for appetizers/bread were extremely dirty. There was a film on them, like an egg yolk; something dull and dried. I could rub it off with my finger and the shiny porcelain underneath. There was only bottled water and the prices were at a 3 to 4-star range. I would gladly pay that, if what I received was worth accordingly. That said, the prices were outrageously overpriced for the quality I was getting. This place has existed almost a century. I am surprised it has, based on this first encounter. I hope the management takes this review to heart if there is any hope for its continued existence.
