The Gold Nugget is home to the best burger in the Twin Cities and so say the people at the 2014 Twin Cities Burger Battle.

    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’
