    It was a really cool atmosphere but the food was all gross. Reminded me of a golden coral or Lubys. Very 1990’s. Extremely overpriced for what you get. The quality and price did not match .

    The Gold Rush Steak House is the perfect spot for that special dinner. The food selections should meet any taste, the preparation and service were exceptional. We had a special request that our server was happy to accommodate.

    We had a great time here! We really enjoyed the live music and the overall ambience. My steak was cooked to perfection but just needed a little bit more flavor. Our waitress was amazing and even gifted us a massive slice of cake for our anniversary. I would recommended!

    The filet mignon is always outstanding! Cooked to perfection & the most tender I’ve had anywhere. Service is amazing, we’ve gotten to know one server in particular & she’s been there 13 years! You can’t beat the atmosphere here, there’s no other place like it!
