The atmosphere was general diner with similar fare, attatched to the casino. Our first server/hostess was very mad we were there. She had a general angry arritude. The server after was sooooo much better. Very smoky casino, might need to review their air handlers. When they first revamped the air handlers years ago, the air quality was so much better. The food was okay. My burger was cooked to order correctly. The breakfast was good per Mom. Good but not spectacular. First server and all the smoke was a downer. read more

Food is good and worth the price. Unfortunately, the Coffee Shop was so understaffed on Saturday 4/17 at 11am, I was told I would not be seated. Frustrating, as it is the only restaurant on property. The $7.77 Breakfast Bowl is a great deal with scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage chunks, potatoes with green and red bells and then topped with grated cheese. No toast at this price. Coffee is $3.99. 1 waitress and one cook tried their best. From open to 10:30a.... When a second waitress was allowed to clock in early so that a few tables could be seated. I only had a 45 minute wait. I did see 2 people leave and refuse to wait. Hopefully, good dependable servers will be found. read more

Carson Nugget - $7.77 Breakfast Bowl and Coffee - Casinos Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Quality/Quantity - Sadly to say, no change. No change since my last review and literally no change to this location. My CA buddy does not come to Carson city often and wanted to see what your casinos looked like. I warned him that this is a very old established local casino and to not have high expectations. I did share all the cool cars and motorcycles, and see pictures. Well, after 5 minutes, he could NOT handle the smoke and he left; lol. Small parking lot across the street and plenty of two hour street parking. Not much more to say. See pictures. Atmosphere - Three dining choices - Angelina's, Capital City Grille, Alatte Coffee, Wine & Deli. Events - See website. Entertainment available - See website. Service - N/A. Price - Depends on how much $ you lose. LOL. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1954. Any relations to The Nugget in Reno? read more

I stopped for breakfast at the nugget in Carson city I ask the waitress about WiFi in the restaurant and she told me the manager was a tightwad and didn't have WiFi in the building I was going to play some slots afterwards but if the manager is too tight to have WiFi then the machines are as well tight so I decided to not play at all Because the breakfast was low quality and I will never go there again Mr Manager how do you keep people working for you when your so tight you squeak when you walk The manager is a tight ass read more

We went to the restaurant and spent good money and the food sucked the steak was all fat and the hash browns were slimy and tasted like they had been out on the floor awhile I don't recommend this place at all and we visit there all the time and lately I am not impressed at all tighten your ship up dean what r you running a flop house it's really gone down hill read more

The bathroom (outhouse) smell is through the casino along with a deodorizer that makes you go noseblind. Made our way to the coffeeshop for lunch @ 12:00. Seated and ordered a cake and iced tea. After looking at the menu and deciding we spent 20 minutes trying to place our order only to be ignored by the wait staff. Seemed odd since the were only two other tables with customers. The a table of six was seated and the waitress immediately brought them drinks and took there order only to walk by us. At that point we left money on the table for the drinks and walked out. We can't rate the service or food since we never received any service or food. read more

Not currently impressed with the service, prices, or smell of smoke wafting through the restaurant. They say they have the Original Awful-Awful since 1956. It is nothing more than a double cheeseburger on a plain bun with a small hand full of flavorless fries on a plate. The actual Downtown Nugget Awful Awful was a large single patty with cheese, sauce, lettuce and tomato on a seasoned bun with an absurd amount of well seasoned fries in a basket. The price is a nearly $20 with an iced tea and could be compared to the likes of a $11 Whopper combo or a $12 Famous Star combo. We were in on a Saturday around 1 pm and there was one server with 12 tables and lots of wait time for food, drinks, refills, condiments.... ugh! Premium prices for lackluster food and poor service. Ugh! read more

It has been years since I have been to this casino. We used to gamble and eat here all the time. It opened its doors in 1954. So it has been around the bin. It is a fun place to gamble especially if you are a local. They have a bingo parlor too. In 2008 it became the oldest Casino in Carson City. The Casino has an excellent Coffee Shop, Steakhouse, and comedy club. Needless to say, it still maintains its nostalgic feel. So if you wanna try your luck with the locals and make friends, try this Casino. read more

Well, the Reno one couldn't find my reservation and I was out $350 for two weeks which is hard when you're a traveling worker. So I already don't like the brand but I have never been up at this casino every other casino I've been up. The only reason I come here is because my dance lesson is right next-door But never again I'm done. This place is a joke. You gotta win once in a while to keep people coming back, but the bonuses are crap. The games are crap. The service is crap go to casino or red Dragon or even dottys is better read more

Ever since they closed the Little Nugget in Reno during the plandemic, it's been sad. There was nowhere to get the signature Awful Awful that always capped off a late night session. Whether out drinking with my friends or after a fight, if I was in Reno at Zero Dark 30; I was having an Awful! So, imm in Carson craving a burger and wound up here The casino is an old time classic casino that reeks of cigarettes and bad decisions but the coffee shop is clean and bright Don't come here if you're in a hurry because you will wait Burger was ok. It's called an Awful Awful but it can't hold a candle to the original. Staff is nice. They're just slow to wait on you read more

The stench from the restrooms permeates on to the casino floor. It's been that way for a long,long time! And still have not done anything about it.Poor management leads to bad staff,especially at night.the security is the worst! And the random hot seat drawings AREN'T RANDOM!!!! the same people are picked way too often to be random. And that is being done by the night manager, and she knows it . read more

Cafe only. Food subpar. Service worse. This local will not be back. Try to get soda and water was nearly impossible. One lady walked around not looking at anyone so we had to loudly get her attention. Our waitress was nice but frantic. read more

Carson City has a classic old casino. It has been renovated at times through the years so the inside doesn't look quite as old. The Nugget is a place mostly for locals but it's also okay for outsiders. Has a hotel behind it if anyone wants to actually stay here. The restaurant inside the casino serves basic breakfast and sandwiches. It isn't a fancy place by any means and it has that classic stench of an old casino. Of course, it's not as dirty as it could be, and the smell had to be even worse in the old days. The casino has a few other amenities besides gambling. Comedy fans should check out the comedy club. There's often headliners that more than a few people have heard of. Also you can't forget to mention the cafe. This has classic American casino food. Breakfast is apparently the most popular time to eat. They get in a lot of people for the big pancakes. Gambling is why most people come of course. Table games usually close early on the weekdays, and when it gets busier on weekends these are open for longer. Also check out the Batmobile. It has a replica from the TV show. This certainly is a fake but it's still cool though. read more

My Mother passed away in April this year 2025 and I was looking for a place to do her celebration of life, I got a hold of the nugget and spoke with the OWNER Dean DiLullo. Everything went great at first. He responded to emails and phone calls. On May 20th I went to look at the room told him I loved it. I was then told he'd send me over menu options the next day. On the 21st I never received an email, then May 22nd came I sent an email asking for the menus, he emailed me back asking what time I was holding it and then was told he'd send over the menus and still never got them. I called again on Friday to be ignored and sent to voicemail. So I went memorial weekend hoping that on Tuesday the 27th I'd have the menus. Nope didn't get menus. So Tuesday the 27th I called and emailed and was still met with silence, I ended up going in to talk in person, Dean explained to me that he was having the chef make up new menus and he wasn't ignoring me....thats weird because all he had to do was email me back and explain that. Well on May 28th Wednesday I finally got the menus. I picked the menu I wanted and then was told he'd send over the agreement on Thursday the 29th, and would you believe it Thursday came and went and never got an agreement. Friday Saturday and Sunday also went by and still got nothing and no response. Finally Monday June 2nd came and still no agreement. So my stepfather called him and Dean told my step father he'd send the agreement he promises. Well still didn't get that agreement till Tuesday the 3rd. Dean your professionalism sucked. It's sad that you are the owner and the one who heped set up this event. I was already grieving the loss of my mother and the way you acted just added to the stress Of this process. I have told everyone I know about the way you handled everything and kept all emails of being ignored. I will never recommend the Nugget to anyone read more

This is a review for the Capital City Grille. I wish they had their own page on Yelp. We have dined at the Capital City Grille twice. The first time we both ordered the Awful Awful Burger which was truly delicious. The Carson Nugget claims they were the inventors of this yummy creation. The second visit my husband had the Chicken Fried Steak, which was a bit small and underwhelming. I had the Prime Rib Special and it was delicious and a great value. It's probably a bit odd to comment on the vegetable that came with our meals, but the broccoli was perfectly prepared. Apparently they have Specials on the Prime Rib dinners, so take advantage of it - it's a great deal. read more

Was unable to have my favorite meal of the year, due to health problem. So called around yesterday, 12/3, to see if a restaurant might be still serving turkey dinners. Nugget had hot turkey sandwiches; better than nothing, so I had it without the white bread. The "turkey" came in four preformed patties; remember Spam? looked just like it, only grey ...and tasted similar! I did eat one patty, took the other three home for neighbor's cat. Have eaten at Carson Nugget four or five times, when person I was with wanted Nugget food. One time I ordered pancakes, yum, and had to ask for knife to cut them... they were tough. Another time I ordered big green salad. When I dug in, could see the dirt from greens on bottom of plate; somebody forgot something! read more

When I first moved to CC I'd visit the coffee shop at the Nugget. For no particular reason I eventually stopped going there. This last summer I had out of town guests who requested we go to the Nugget for breakfast. The cafe interior was changed, no longer open and airy, more claustrophobic. The breakfast was awful. How anyone can muck up eggs and bacon I'll never understand. read more

DON'T EAT THE PRIME RIB !!! at the Café / grill...... Marinated in Worcestershire sauce ? (Management told me when I complained) They also told me they keep in a steamer ?... It was grey in color, no crust from NOT being roasted. It was like eating boiled beef.. I'M NOT EXAGERATING !! THE WORST EVER !!!! read more

Stood outside the restaurant waiting for a hostess then they said to go orders only. Was told last seating was 8:30. I was standing since 8;20. No one comes out from the back to check to see if there customers out there. Only one couple in the restaurant. Two servers. As someone in public service myself for 30 years and a business owner this is poor service. No one responded to my post last month.y friend sat at a machine for 2 hours no one came by to ask if she wanted a drink. The casino was empty. Nice servers now but always understaffed for the past 7 years read more

I went here a few years ago on a business trip. Stopped by for a burger and the casino. It's pretty good food and a typical affordable menu at a casino. Overall a good value and decent food. The casino was average with slots and other games. read more

Stopped in on my lunch to get seated took a while only two girls working. Ordered an awful awful to go they charge $2 to box it up took 30min to get it. It was huge burger decided to eat in truck as it smelled great but in the time I opened it and put together it was already soggy. It needed seasoning for sure. It's a great late night meal after drinking all night but beyond that not my cup of tea. read more

Another local that won't be back to The Grille. Absolutely abysmal service. The food was sub-par (7:15pm) but the service is what has me peeved enough to write this. 3 tables with 2 diners, and a to-go order when we came in to eat. We drank water and a cocktail, couldn't get our waters refilled, couldn't get our sides of ranch that were requested when we ordered. Finally got up and asked the busser if she could help us out with the water, she said "well if you haven't noticed we're kind of busy." (NEVER HAVE HAD SUCH A REPLY!) I literally turned around to again scan the room in case I had missed something! "Well not right now but we had had a rush." Not a "whoops, sorry about that, let me help you." The fryer needs an oil change, and the boyfriend's Awful Awful was pretty dry, along with the bun. So disappointing! By no means are we regulars, but again, we won't be return customers. Had planned to gamble a bit after dinner, but we're so turned off by what happened and the bussers reply that we chose to just go home. I have worked in the service industry for 20+ years and have several comments at my work places about my exemplary customer service, just shocked at this! read more

My family and I came to the Carson Nugget for lunch today. They have a nice little restaurant in the back. Our server her name was Michelle. The Apple Pie was light and flaky, delicious. The dinner salad was beautifully presented and came with some tasty ranch dressing. The fries were crispy, not over seasoned. Some of the best fries we have ever had. The best part of the experience was Michelle. Very charming and a great sense of humor. She really made us feel cared for. In today's world I believe customer service sometimes gets neglected. She is a Shiny Star in that regard. We will certainly come back to the Nugget. Thanks again Michelle. read more

Today we went to the Nugget coffee shop and had some breakfast. The food was great as usual. All American breakfast....eggs over medium, hash browns, bacon and toast. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon had a delicious smoky hickory flavor. Hash browns were plentiful, the sourdough toast could have been more toasty but overall a delightful breakfast but the best part was our host and server Nate....his enthusiasm and overall cheerfulness was infectious. He took our order and delivered our food in a timely manner, all the while cheerfully bantering. I have eaten at the Nugget many, many times in my 27 years here in Carson City and today was one of the most pleasant in memory. read more

Came here with my wife dad and his wife this past weekend. The Nugget is an old time casino in Carson City and it really has that "old time" feel. But having said that it is clean and nice inside. The machines are older and it's not the biggest casino. Nevertheless we had a good time and I walked out with 50$. Also got to see the Batman car. Now I have eaten dinner here before years ago and wasn't all that impressed. But it's seems like they have done some improvements in the last few years. So idk. It could be better. They also have live entertainment nightly. They also have sports wagering. In all honesty I can't give it more than 3 stars. I mean guy with it. The machines are ancient. I played Texas Tea and Cleopatra! But hey! I walked out with 50$ right? So yea. read more

We came for an easy fast breakfast at The Eatery. I was painting and didn't want to cook. Yum! Fast, large portions, inexpensive. We felt safe and surprisingly the cigarette smoke wasn't as bad in the restaurant. The one reason I generally don't eat In casinos. The smell. So the Eatery was just what we needed. Good old American breakfast! read more

Popped in for a late dinner at the Nugget cafe with friends. Truly wanted a salad bar, but although it was fully stocked, all items were congealed, from having sat out in the air too long. I realize it was 8pm, but if they can't bring themselves to walk by and stir the items to keep them fresh, I suggest they close the salad bar down after hours. Instead we ordered The World Famous Awful-Awful Burger. One with cheese, one without. These are significantly big, double-patty burgers, and let me say that mine, without cheese, was as dry as the Sahara Desert. No amount of cheese could have moistened that burger up. The grill chef obviously does not know how to steam up a juicy burger, because this is not my first dry burger at the Nugget. Their fries come battered and seasoned, and although they were well cooked, I prefer my fries to be JUST POTATOES; there was no such option. The coleslaw looked ancient and yellow, the lettuce on the burgers was limp and overly dark, the pickles were dry, Kosher chips. The wait staff was EXCELLENT and that is the only reason for the 2 star rating. That burger is Awful Awful dry, in my opinion. read more

I brought my kids here because I wanted to show them the place my parents/grandparents used to bring us for a meal and a trip to the arcade (fond memories). Instead I was met with a rude old blonde "Karen" staffer. I politely asked if the arcade still existed. She rudely told me that she "shouldn't even be talking to me" since I had children present. I asked about the cafe, to which she again, rudely as possible, corrected me about the "eatery" and told me I better hurry and get my kids out of there. She was extremely agitated that I had children present (even I had already explained that we were just passing through, I mean, they obviously weren't going to be playing blackjack, smh). In all the years I've visited there, I've never been treated with such rudeness. Take your business elsewhere than this now disgusting ashtray of a turd nugget. read more

They have a players card but don't offer new card slot bonuses. They have a total of 3 card tables and only two was in use. They have Bingo but they limit the number of people in the bingo hall... And I heard it was 10 players max. Not going to ding the casino over that unless I actually try to play. Batmobile was cool though. Decent selection of slots but they don't have all the latest and greatest. They do have dragon link and lighting link... They did have a give-away for those earning 50 points in a day... Today it was wine tumblers and yes, I got one. read more

The casino itself is great but when you want to have something to eat I recommend you think twice before dining at the capital City Grille. I have dined there many times and the name has changed as many times. The current name is does not reflect the image one would expect with the name Capital City. It is very understaffed and the attention to details and standards is completely lacking. The staff on hand try to do the best they can given the fact that there is no management of any kind present. The wait times are horrendous. Your food order may or may not come to you as ordered because of this. More than once I have dined there in the month and mind you I am on a timed lunch break and I have had to settle for what is served rather what was ordered because of it. My experiences at this restaurant are ones when patronage is very low and you would expect quick service and accurate delivery unfortunately neither is the case. read more

If you have not been to the Carson City Comedy Club....shame on you! This is a great comedy club you can go for an affordable cost to see some funny comedians. Not sure if the ticket prices change, however, we paid $15 per person. I do not gamble so can't say much about the Casino, except it is fairly smoky. However, the Comedy club is great entertainment for Carson City on a Friday or Saturday night. The comedians change frequently, so I suggest you look on the website for who is coming to the Carson City Nugget. Can't go wrong for a small comedy club in Carson City! read more

Well here comes 1225 no salad 1235 got salad got lunch at 1245. The patty was so thin it just looked like I was eating bread. Got check n paid. I dont understand why it took over 20 min for a salad and over 30 plus min for a turkey patty burger. My husband is a line cook at another casino n it does not take that long at all.

Nah, I wasn't impressed, I know all casinos in Nevada reek of cigarettes, but this one doesn't have a non-smoking section-or so they told us that day. But it's one of the oldies but goodies right? Yeah experience got worse when my card wouldn't work at most of the slot machines & when I got a new one, it didn't work as well. This one too doesn't give much back or keep you going, think the other reviewer was right, when they stated it's hurting so bad for revenue that it takes most of it from the players. The good about it, the cool bat mobile on display (you'll see in pictures others posted) Lots of parking, since it was holiday I suppose? read more
