Gold Nugget Tavern & Grille

Horrible experience. We arrived early and noticed several parties arriving after us with no reservations who, as friends of the hosts/hostesses got good tables before we did. We were offered a table after 45 minutes that was right next to the bar and would have resulted in our being butted by bar patrons so we waited even longer. Service was slow and our food was unacceptable - overdone tasteless burgers, soggy fries, drink orders forgotten. There are so many great restaurants - please refrain from wasting your time at this one. We prefer Patrick's or Pig and Fiddle in Edina to this horrible place.

Great beer selection, very good burgers, excellent staff. It is also family friendly!!

Nothing not to like as far as I am concerned.

For Fridays, my coworkers and I went out to lunch. In one of the first nice Fridays, we decided to enjoy some sunshine and sit outside on the porch. This seemed like a great idea, until we realized that the table was solid metal (not the grated kind, a solid sheet of metal), and with the sun shining down, it made it a challenge. We managed to deal with it, but I definitly think it is something to consider if you are considering sitting outside.

I decided to try the Turkey Sandwich and was pleasantly suprised by the flavor. I can't say it was worth the money, but the flavor was good. The price seems a bit inflated for what they actually serve. Another coworker ordered the NY strip burger and said she really enjoyed it, the other 2 meals were asian salad and veggie burger, they appeared mediocore but they didnt complain.

Overall, i would say give this place a shot, but i definitly think they could come down a smidge on their prices for the portions they give compared to competitors.
