Love this place, the staff is nice, so well as all of the regulars, as this is a locals spot. The food and drinks are great as well.
Great food, good service.
However, there was a family of 4 adults and 3 children; two boys aged maybe 3 and 4 and a little girl about 14 months. The little girl was screeching and the boys were yelling during my entire meal.
This was not the restaurants fault in any way but parents of small children - please don’t let your children screech and holler. It may not bother you but it can ruin other peoples night out.

The Nugget of Goleta is a classic place to eat, described as an institution packed with history and a hole in the wall charm. It is a great place to have a good old fashion meal, with a cute little back patio and license plates adorning the walls for a bit of a western feel. It can get little busy at dinner time and is very popular with the locals. The food and service are excellent. The chicken is some of the best in the Goleta area, and the chicken parmesean comes with pasta sauce with extra garlic and fresh tasting oregano. The Prime Rib is off the charts good and a huge cut, and the 16oz T-Bone steak is equally as good. The potato skins appetizer is good, and the Clam Chowder is outstanding. For a great hamburger, sandwich, or soup and salad, this place is recommended 9/10.
