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.

    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.

    We always enjoy the Gold Nugget, and last night was no exception. The restaurant was crowded last night, so they seated us in their banquet room—what a bonus! It was quieter and more relaxed. Even the server took advantage of the room's mood and spent more time explaining the menu than when we were in the regular part of the restaurant. We'll be back!

    I love this place! The warm, inviting atmosphere, and knowledgeable, friendly waiter made this 5 star for me. And the food was delicious. It is every time I go. Top notch!

    My husband and I love eating dinner at Gold Nugget. The cocktails are inventive, and the food is fresh and expertly cooked. Service is uniformly friendly and fast. I like variety, so I appreciate that the specials on the menu change frequently.

    Food pretty good, not as good as normal. Service was subpar. Took took long to get second glass of wine after we ordered. We were half finished with our meal when she remembered to serve it. She said that was my fault, I have too many tables. Indoors and outdoors…..
