Gold Nugget Tavern & Grille
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. We also feature handcrafted sandwiches, soups and salads, made from scratch in our kitchen. Our beer menu focused on local craft beers and outstanding national selections, we always have something new from our neighborhood brew masters.
Everyone in your family, on your team, or from you company can find something to please their palate. We also have a great kid’s menu and gluten-sensitive offerings.

Sara was our server. The service was awesome. Food was great. Between the 4 of us we ordered 3 burgers, chicken lettuce wraps and the Tots which were yummy. Looking forward to returning soon!
The food was terrific and our waiter very nice, friendly, and helpful.
They have the best burgers!!!! Cannot wait to go back!!
Staff was very friendly and the food was good. Price was average.
Bes place always
We wanted a casual experience for our Valentine's day dinner and they have a great menu and selection of drinks, wine, and draft and craft beer. The food and service was amazing.
Comfortable place to eat. Food is outstanding. We had burgers, a very yummy Reuben, and salads. Fried pickles were outstanding as were the tater tots. Service was very good. With I would come here more often.
My kid and friends went there on first real outing to a restaurant by themselves. They were nervous. I mentioned it to the hostess and I believe she in turn mentioned it to the server. They report they were treated kindly and they had a great time. You never know how kids will be treated these days. Thank you for your service!
food was tasty and portions were more than ample.
love the cheesy tots and the chopped salad with a great grilled salmon.
very attentive and friendly wait staff.
The service was poor. We waited 20 minutes for drinks to start. Food was just ok. We will not be back.
Classic comfort dishes. Nice attention to detail. Servings are generous, which makes for a great lunch the next day
We really like this place for amazing burgers. I have to say, however, we were very disappointed that patty melt changed. It used to be the best patty melt in the cities...with the parmesan fried bread. You could not beat it. It now is just a plain old patty melt on Rye. Like you can get anywhere. This will unfortunately mean we won't frequent as much.
Great food and much quieter with Covid-19 restrictions
It's difficult to review the Gold Nugget, or any restaurant for that matter, because the virus has had such an impact. For example, the noise level was quiet, but that was only because the restaurant was less than one quarter full with only around six or seven groups eating lunch. However, the service was very attentive, probably because of the limited number of tables the server had to deal with. Food was good, just like it always is.
Staff are very attentive and friendly
Service was fast and food is great
We are used to having better experiences at Gold Nugget, but this recent visit was not great. We had been seated for at least 10 minutes before our server even came to our table. We sat with empty glasses for about 10-15 minutes before our server came back to see if we needed another round, and then it took just as long to get the next round of drinks once we ordered them. We also asked for a refill on a soda but never got it. The server did split up the checks for us right away instead of automatically bringing one check, which was nice, but we were given hard time about redeeming vouchers for free beer from a beer club the restaurant is partnered with. She made it seem like she was making an exception by allowing us to redeem these vouchers that the restaurant usually takes with no problem. The food this time was okay, but I know they have better options available on the menu. Overall, not a great experience, but we have had several good experiences there. We will try again sometime, hoping this was a fluke.
The food was awesome! Fish and chips and Cobb Salad. The tables are well positioned for Covid. The staff is always friendly!
Food was cold
I built the burger. I loved the peppadew aioli on the burger. It gave a great kick. Now all I have to do is find peppadews so I can make some at home. I asked for extra to dip the fries in. Mmmm! Hot fries in peppadew aioli. It couldn't get better than that.
Service was good, food was good. I would go back again.
Delicious burgers and fries and curds! Always a favorite place to indulge
This was my first time dining at this restaurant. Everything was great! We will be back again soon!
Excellent food! Nice to be out again. Great service
Great food and service! My husband said the prime rib was great. Service from Nicole was stellar!!
The bar tender/our waitress was so delightful and and kind! The food was tasty and we enjoyed our dinner!
Glad we had the opportunity to go back to GN! Great food, great people, great atmosphere!!!
I like Gold Nugget. I wish they would space out diners more - we felt pretty close to other tables.
We had a corner booth. The wait staff was excellent.
Good food nice atmosphere. Always a solid place to eat and relax with friends.
We had a great meal at the Golden Nugget, the wait staff was great, my only drawback was the food took aprox 30-35 min to be prepared. It was a Friday night, but that seems a little on the slow side. We had another event to attend after our meal, luckily we had allowed extra time for our meal. This was our first visit to the Golden Nugget!
Good choice of beers, wine and other drinks. We all had something different to eat from an omelet to ahi tuna burger. Different sides and no one complained. Not much talking at all....too busy eating!
Always one of my families favorite place for burgers!
Thanks to the staff for keeping indoor dining safe and still enjoyable. We were so glad to celebrate a family new home and watch some Gopher football. Thank goodness the food was great because the game wasn’t. Thanks Annie for your fantastic and attentive service.
The outdoor seating was great but the indoor seating is also very good. It is a safe, clean environment with lots of sanitizers, masks on all and cleaning is also good.
Fantastic burgers and dry rub wings. Good tap selection
Stopped in for a weekday lunch. Hadn't ever been here but reading the menu got me interested. My reservation was for 1 at the counter. Upon arrival I was seated in the dining room area at a table with four seats and quite close to a neighboring table. The waitress was the one who seated me so I gathered she preferred me in her section instead of the bar area seating. Ordered a simple drink and a Minnesota Nice Burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was very tasty & the fries were very good also. The party of four at the next table had a very loud talker whose voice was directed right toward my table. I enjoyed the food but ate quickly & got a to go box so I could get out of there as I was becoming annoyed by the voice droning on & on. If I do go back for a visit to try another dish I will make sure I speak up and ask to be seated where I am more comfortable!
Took a long time for food to come out.
Great food and service as always! Hard to see the place so quiet due to COVID seating restrictions. It is one of our favorites!
Great server and great food. Overall outstanding service and people. The bartenders are great as well.
Great beer list and really good food. Even the limited menu had tons of great options.
Food was great! Enjoying the menu upgrade The only wish I have is for the old fresh cut French Fries. They are FAR better than the breaded fries and few places offer fresh cut fries.
