Our server was great, but the food was just okay. I enjoyed my poke ahi tuna bowl but my mom's burger was overcooked and the tacos were so-so. It was very noisy and hard to have a good conversation (for 2 elderly women and myself).

Good food, but poor service. While happy hour is a good deal, their normal prices are above average, especially for the service.

It was packed, we were sat immediately, a little understaffed, but our server was exceptional! Order the asada bowl you won't be disappointed!

Gold Nugget Tavern and Grille is consistently tasty, with wonderful service and new items on menu sporacically.

Today’s experience was… lacking. I ordered the cheeseburger wontons and let me tell you… DO NOT ORDER THEM. They taste nothing like a cheeseburger. They were sad and gross. Basically meat paste with cheese and a weird sauce that was not ketchup or mustard. There were 5 and had about 1 1/4 tbsp of mush. Not worth the money and not worth the calories. I ate them because I was very hungry but would never get these or recommend them to anyone. They do so much so very well… just not this appetizer.

So good I forgot to take a picture before I started eating! Great service, fastest cheese curds have ever hit my table, & a can’t beat “Date Night” deal.

Great food and service! Love the option to build your own burger and all of the options that you have to put on it! Our waitress was amazing very helpful and friendly.

A nice small local bar restaurant with pretty good food, they specialize in burgers. It is smallish so it does get crowded and a bit noisy at times.

This use to be my go to place for burgers. Burgers were flavorless and cooked well done. This is a place that use to make all burgers a true medium to almost medium rare. I asked for medium. My first burger was way overcooked. I sent it back. The second burger barely had any pink in it. It wasn't worth the hassle to send that one back again . It was not crowded at all. I think that they've lost a step. I have not been back for about a year so perhaps this has been going on for a while. As a matter of fact, I would ask my burger to be cooked medium rare knowing most places cook them well done and even the server said they slightly undercook their burger. So a medium is going to be perfect. That used to be the case several years ago but not when I went this last time. Maybe it was off night and off time. I'll try it again, but perhaps they've lost a step from previous years.

Tonight's dinner was great! Made a reservation and was seated right away! Without reservation it was a 45 minute wait! Service as well as food was spot on! Even as busy as they were, we did not feel rushed to eat and get out! Thank you'

The place was packed but we had reservations and we were seated immediately. Burgers were perfectly cooked and sides were delicious. I'd recommend Gold Nugget for a fun casual night out for sure.

Good location for 6 from varied areas to meet. Menu has variety and food is good. Nice beer list. Familiar server (young man with glasses) who is consistently efficient and fun. Finally tried Gouda Mac with bacon and it was delicious. Another really enjoyed his lobster roll. We'll be back!

Service slow. Not busy at all. Asked for more horseradish sauce for French dip, couldn't taste at all. Finally had to go find server as my food was getting cold. French dip was chewy and edges crispy/dried out. French onion soup and tacos were very good.No water tefills, got pitcher and filled mysrlf. Waited nearly 15 minutes to pay after asking for check.Wont go back anytime soon. Too many other good choices on area. Used to be our fav, disappointed.
