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, albeit with a caveat - be prepared for crowds and potential wait times. The friendly staff and lively atmosphere, complete with a bar area, dining section, and candy shop, make up for the occasional chaos. The menu may not be the strongest, but the variety of treats, including made-on-premises taffy, pies, and ice cream, creates a fun and lively vibe. This restaurant is great for families and kids of all ages, with wheelchair accessibility via a ramp. While it may get busy, the Goldenrod is a classic spot that's worth a visit.
