The Nugget of Goleta — Restaurant in Goleta

We had a great time at nugget, me and my mom were in town for my brothers birthday, we normally have a family dinner for his birthday.this year we just wanted my brother to relax and not cook.we decided to give nugget a try very welcoming atmosphere I thought Its just a bar and grill kind of place. The service was awesome I hate that I don't remember the waitress's name but she was so friendly. My brother his wife,me and my mom have all worked in the food industry so we always pay attention to the wait staff and cooking staff for details. This place didn't let down we ordered some appetizer and the portion are a nice size and great for sharing. We almost didn't have to order dinner (almost) my brother had angels pork chop it was so juicy,and seasoned perfectly, my sister in law had a tri tip sandwich and loved it.my mother had the fish and was so satisfied with all her food. I had the patty melt it was delicious my meat was cooked just how I liked I sub the grilled onions for mushrooms I loved it. The drinks are cheap and good and the food is even better. They have an outside dinning area that is great as well. At the end the night the wait staff sung to my brother and we all had a great time. It was definitely a place we are coming back to. Great food Great food Great...

The place is cozy. The staff are very cool. The pours seem generous, and the menu is appealing.

I was there to watch the Super Bowl. Originally there were only two in my group, but over the afternoon and evening, about 15 of my associates came and went. We were meeting in Santa Barbara the next day for a company function, and about half the group hadn't met the other half previously cause we were coming in to town literally from all over the world.

Throughout this, my buddy and I remained, watching the game. Various local regulars also came in and went over the evening, and that crowd was friendly and good natured.

The TV above the bar was fine for watching football, albeit with an occasional audio glitch.

The decor in the outdoor entertaining area was... creepy.

The girl who kept serving us behind the bar was patient, and did a great job.

All in all, I think everyone in my group had a great time. I won't hesitate to go back if I'm ever in...

The Nugget Bar and Grill in Goleta is a great place to eat. As a matter of fact my Wife and I were on vacation in The Goleta area and had Dinner at The Nugget twice. We were happily surprised by how good the food was! Really good! The first time I had, Kent's Chopped Steak, which was a full pound of perfectly cooked ground beef smothered with caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms. Yum, Yum!! Plus, I had a nice serving of mashed potatoes steamed vegetables. It was Great! We were also well served by an excellent waitress, Krys, who not only did an excellent job of serving the food and so on, but was also very hospitable and we really enjoyed our whole experience at The Nugget. So much, that we went back a second night and I had Beef Stroganoff, excellent and delicious and my Wife had Chicken Marsala the first night and an excellent burger with fries and said it was the best burger she'd ever had. Wow! And she's hard to please! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE...
