Food is always great and some of the best fries I have ever tried! (Thin style). The Chicken Marsala is my favorite. Service is fantastic, they are so attentive and always eager to please and the decor on the walls is so much fun to look at, they have outdoor patio dining too where they are dog friendly and even have water bowls. Back to ambiance and or decor: we love it. My wife loves the salads and fish dinners. Good variety of menu items and full bar. Try it, we go often!

In town for a work meeting from Portland and decided to stop by this disaster of a place. rude staff and bad service. The place was super dirty and sticky. The food was horrible and steak was way way over cooked and I asked for rare. I do not recommend this place. My colleague got sick from the "ahi". Never order seafood at a burger place.

absolutely shit service from Alex. I used to eat here every 2 weeks or so. today was the worst. the salad I ordered was always brought before my entree. today both were brought at the same time. I told my server that my food would be cold by the time I finished my salad. he said sorry and took it away. He then brought the exact same plate of food back to my table after I finished my salad. It was ice cold by then. I complained but he wouldn't remake my food. i had to call a manager after I left to get anyone to take my complaint seriously.

I went to the Nugget in Goleta last Sunday, and had forgotten they were serving brunch. Wow, was I ever delighted! I told my husband that the avocado and bacon eggs Benedict was perhaps the BEST I'd ever eaten. The chef took an ordinary Benedict and made it his own, adding a touch of what tasted like chili powder to it, so the Hollandaise sauce was absolutely delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the bacon and avocado were generous and tasty, and I could choose what bread to serve the Benedict on. I chose rye toast, which for me, added another layer of flavor. The home style potatoes were also perfectly cooked and seasoned. It is obvious that Chef put a lot of care into this meal. Kudos! I highly recommend checking out the brunch (note: I think I saw a change in the time to 11-2 for brunch). But go! I'm sure you'll be delighted with food and service!

Honestly one of the most comfortable dining experiences here, staff are great and attentive. The drinks are consistently delicious. Definetly go for the Buffalo wings they just know how a proper wing should be made !

American standards for an American palate. Not really for foodies. I've been there 4-5 times with friends and everything is average. Club sandwich looks to be one of the better items. Meatloaf is...meatloaf. Grilled salmon tastes like the char of the grill, so not my style. Jalapeño poppers are good. $4 up charge for baked potato.... missed that detail, oops. Definitely a locals' haunt. Loud and popular, but solidly meh.

Fun locals dive to take family and kiddos. The atmosphere is eclectic, western with wall mounted animals, saddles, spurs and historic, local paraphernalia. Crayons and paper are available for kids to keep them busy until food arrives. Food is served quickly and staff is always friendly!

At first, I felt I wasn't in goleta. There's no place like this in sb, really. Food was aiight, and the service was great. The place was packed first, but the last visit not the last. It's a lot to take in pause.

The nugget has been a go to restaurant for me and my dad for more then at least 8 years, but the experience we had tonight was definitely one of the best. Taylor was our waiter and throughout the whole night, he was really polite, enthusiastic, and helpful! The food was also great as usual. We hope to see Taylor again in future visits!
