About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for happy hour

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.

    Been here twice. Really enjoyed the experience both times. Food and service are great! But we almost got stuck sitting in this back corner booth both times. Worst seat in the place. Thankfully we were able to be moved or we’d never come back.

    I dine here a few times a month and I’ve just felt recently that the food quality has gone down. I often get a salad with steak. The last two times the steak is chewy and seems poor quality. My napkin wrapped silverware last night had a long hair in it. It’s so loud on the weekends in there that you can barely have a conversation. Just a bit disappointed.

    My food was awful. Even stopped by the culvers drive thru to grab dinner. I should have ordered a burger but instead went with teriyaki chicken…it was so overcooked and had all of 2 tiny broccoli pieces as veggies. Never again!
