Food is good, good costumer service, nice and cozy environment. Yo'll have a nice experience coming here.

This has become one of my go to breakfast places, even if I do have to drive a bit to get to it. I've been three times and really enjoyed myself each time. I have a soft spot in my heart for diners/pancake houses like this and first found my way here one day when I was desperately craving pancakes. Although I was there in the late morning on a random weekday, it was fairly busy (and the modest parking lot was packed!). I was welcomed right away and told to sit anywhere. Their menu is huge: diner classics for breakfast/lunch/dinner, as well as Mexican favorites, and other modern dishes. I've always opted for breakfast, but I think I want to try some of their other options. My favorite is the Beglian waffle. You can tell it's one of their specialties. I haven't tried it with fruit as I haven't been there when berries are in season, but even the plain buttermilk one is delicious. They batter is already very light and buttery and then they give you a lot of butter to spread on top...it melts in your mouth and is the cure for what ails you. I appreciate that they offer a few combo specials with the waffle so you can get a good deal adding eggs, hash, etc. Each time I've been, I've had a really friendly waitress who you just want to spend time talking to. They are very on top of service and will refill your water glass before you can even ask. Note that you pay at the front and they prefer cash or debit, they'll charge you a fee if you pay with a credit card. Writing this has me wanting another waffle. Maybe I should head to the Golden Nugget?

I live right across the street from the golden nugget pancake house and always have wondered how it is. The service was amazing they treated my niece really well and make sure my niece and I were taken care of. I will recommend the French toast and the waffles with fruit! You won't be disappointed by giving the golden nugget a try!

I always get fast delivery from them. The food is mostly tasty, though their hash browns are more rubbery than crispy. Egg dishes and the hot chocolate are always great, and they make a good burger! I love being able to order breakfast for lunch or dinner - I just wish they stayed open later, like the Golden Nugget on Diversey.

Hot, fresh, delicious food, every single time. What really makes Golden Nugget the best is their friendly staff. Even when it's very busy, the staff is kind, patient, and hustles to meet your requests! The pancakes are my favorite food on the menu, but everything is delicious.

Great service and good. I don't usually seek out to eat breakfast. Nonetheless, this place has great breakfast options. Very tasty. Good environment too.

June is about to end so I'm going to mark the transition into July with a review or few, including an update to my six-year-old screed of this family favorite of mine on the North Side. My most recent and first post-pandemic visit to Golden Nugget about three weeks ago came 2,194 days since I lobbed uncharacteristic criticisms about the eatery. At the time in 2017, I was a bit tired from my flight from Houston Hobby to Midway so what I ate back then was seemingly meh to me. It may please the cadre of you who thoroughly read my posts that I fell in love with GN again. My cousins, who actually grew up across the street, brought me here for a farewell breakfast in which I helped myself to a delicious, nicely cooked steak accompanied by a generous amount of scrambled eggs and hash browns. The meal may sound simple, but it did hit the spot for me. The Ravenswood neighborhood of which the place calls home has changed a lot, but it was great to return here and revive a dormant family tradition of ours.

Food is still good, ambiance is still standard pancake house, service was very much as it should be. The prices of definitely risen quite a bit, though. Coffee and soft drinks were $3.99. Mexican skillet was 16.99. I don't know if it's the neighborhood or just the general rising cost of food. Women's bathroom was clean, and had a sanitizer dispenser in the door handle. Some parking is available.
