Reviews for Gold Nugget Tavern & Grille in Minnetonka, MN

Had the lobster roll. Probably one of the best I've ever had! Huge pieces of lobster, nicely toasted bun, just the right amount... of perfectly seasoned mayo/dressing. The fries and seasoned sour cream were also delicious. Our server, Jeff, was wonderful!Personable, great sense of humor, very knowledgeable and offered suggestions. Read more

It's true, this dish was THAT good. Don't call me no Jamba-laya... ;) I'm not lyin!--No pants on fire over here, just burnin'... taste buds Here's the lineup from a fine local tavern: ---- Jambalaya with Chicken, Andouille Sausage, Shrimp, Spicy tomatostew, and Creole dirty rice The People's Burger with Smoked brisket blended patty, Cheddar cheese, Tomato jam, Roasted poblano,and Garlic aioli on Brioche Chicken Enchiladas with Shredded lettuce, Pico de gallo, Sour cream & Guajillo rice ---- Call itThe Golden Nugget or a hidden gem, this Minnetonka eatery knows can cook several kinds of cuisine in cravable fashion TheJambalaya was my jam! Just enough heat from the meat and stew, accompanied by a textural contrast of classic dirty rice andcravable crustaceans made this a delish take on a Cajun Classic The enchiladas were ever so elevated by the slightly spicyguajillo chili served in no small portion--and that includes the holy-buckets-worth of cheese! My foodie friend had this pipin'hot order surpass his expectations And finally, a burger made with brisket--How could that be bad! No beef with this menuchief, which continues to win TGN's monthly burger battle between two new beef creations where the victor remains on the menu Iloved the sweetness of the tomato jam, the bite of the poblanos, the addition of creamy garlic aioli...And of course, such ahefty handled requires a robust brioche bun for consumption The Golden Nugget is certainly a valuable find--and I promise, it'sno fools gold! With options for every appetite, you'll probably have to go back and find more favorites. I recommend tryingmine... or mine to find your own supreme selections! Many thanks to Annette and Kos for joining me on two unique foodieexpeditions full of trying new things! Read more

Went here for Valentine's Day because my husband saw it available on Open Table. Thought it would just be basic burgers and... other pub food. They had a pretty good Valentine's Day dinner menu. Food and service was great! Read more

We love Golden Nugget! Great outdoor seating and the food is always very good. Their ‘gold-fashioned’, their rendition of an... old fashioned, is amazing. The prime rib was perfectly tender and delicious. This is now our go-to place. I love their fish andchips too. Lobster mac, they got it, and it’s perfect. Seriously, it has always been service with a smile!! Just all aroundexcellent dining experiences every time. Read more
