Welcome to 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.

    Gold Nugget Tavern and Grille is just a great restaurant! It has a wonderful assortment of items to order including some that were at Stella’s Fish Cafe. Ambience is great and staff is over the top! An item that is delicious is Cheesy Tater Tots-give them a try.

    Food was good but service was not great. Will return since the holiday ambience was very nice and happy hour was reasonable.

    We’ve been here a handful of times and food was always really good. Haven’t been here in probably a year and this time the food was awful. Asked for medium rare burger and it came out like a hockey puck. Pretzel bun was hard and tasted old. Poke bowl tasted overly fishy and was very spicy. I can handle very spicy food but this was overwhelmingly spicy. Cooking staff probably has changed over and food isn’t good anymore. Server was attentive but messed up order a kept forgetting stuff. Overall We were bummed. We enjoyed the Xmas decorations. Restaurant are a dime a dozen and the ones with poor food eventually go away. Owners should fix the back of the kitchen food cooking issues.

    Great food and service today. We had cheese curds with marinara which are so delicious. We also had a couple of salads and a burger and all were excellent.
