I'm giving The Nugget a solid 5 stars for delivering exactly on expectations. I thought this would be a typical small town greasy spoon diner and it was. They served up a killer breakfast with some of the best pancakes I've seen. The corned beef hash was really good as well. Service was friendly and with a touch of sass. read more

Don't miss going to the Nugget! Excellent lunch here for three and no one left wanting more. Our waitress let us sit a little off to the side so our son could settle down and we really don't like disturbing others, if we can help it. I noticed that they served lemonade and they had tea. So I asked if I could have an Arnold Palmer and our waitress said smiling, head bobbing "Why, Yes!" I took a chance on the grilled chicken sandwich. I say that because the last three I've had at other places were underdone one way or another. Just YUK, but here, here I had a really nice sandwich and was able to enjoy every last bite. It's an old timey place that has a quaint and cozy vibe. We three really enjoyed our meals and if we find ourselves in Weaverville again, will most definitely stop here. read more

Had such a good breakfast! Ordered biscuits & gravy, with a side of corned beef hash. This is food for the soul! Staff is always friendly, restaurant is always clean, and food is always tasty. Can't go wrong with food that tastes like home cooking made with love! Prices are good for the portions! Whether you're just strolling through town, or you're a local - this is a spot you should try. They also have super tasty deserts!! read more

Staff was friendly service was wonderful and it just looked like a very nice country atmosphere and the food was wonderful. read more

The Nugget Restaurant - Yummy good looking burger. Friendly staff. On our way to Trinity Lake and stopped by for some good food. - American Near Me - Weaverville, California

it's one of the best restaurants in town. it's the old hometown diner that people are friendly. The food is good and it is like Denny's or Coco's. The milkshakes are awesome, make that a malt. And the french fries are very good, crispy read more

Nice waitress. I had the chicken fried steak it was tough and and had no coating before frying just gravy over it. It didn't set well for a good part of the day. The dining area needs a complete overhaul. read more

Stopped in for a simple lunch of soup, sandwiches, and salads. The food was good, but what made the day was the outstanding, cheerful, efficient service. We felt like family, or special, honored guests! read more

Very old school American diner. Reliably decent food and excellent milkshakes. Many kinds of house made pie. Very friendly and capable wait staff. This place has been in the same hands for at least 25 years, so you know they have it dialed. The only reason it's not five stars is because the furnishings are a bit worn. read more

Stopped here on our way home from the Trinity Alps Resort and soo glad we did. The service was top notch, so welcoming and attentive to us. The waitress even asked if we'd like a coffee to go for our drive. So impressed!! The food was very good, good portions and delicious. We will make this place a permanent stop next time we're in Weaverville. Thank you Nugget!! read more

We want to eat semi-healthy, but that won't happen here. Ok if you just want a quick bite and don't care if healthful. They do give a lot of fries to make up for the lack of desired main part of a basket. The open faced sandwiches give you a lot of food. Sourdough bread is NOT sourdough in any way. We won't go back. Staff seems nice. Shakes look like old style, which is attractive. Onion rings look tasty and better than most places. read more

Awful service. A shot of cholesterol straight to your veins. Not many healthy options like wraps o simple sandwiches on the morning. good luck! read more

Good food for a good price. I always go for (V) Corn beef and hash browns. I always come here when I visit

Mayra was a SUPER server. She is warm and welcoming. The Dining room was clean and cool. It was 109* outside. We visit this location when we drive through on occasion. They serve breakfast all day and I love that option. The portions are huge and d the wait was less than 10 minutes. It's a well rounded menu. The prices for the portions are worth it. I'd take off a star for the restrooms. They could use some new flooring, fresh paint, air fresheners, and some decor. The reason I didn't give 4 stars is because the service was fantastic and the food yummy. I couldn't deduct stars for that. The service made up for it. read more

I got a really yummy club sandwich that came with fresh fruit ($13.45) and an orange juice ($4.25). The service was really lovely, friendly and conversational. The ambiance is perfectly fine, but was complimented by the lovely older folks who regularly come in and chat it up. I'd recommend. read more

Pros: Recommended by a museum curator as a locals' favorite. Fish & Chips were better than those made in England. Attentive, diner style wait staff. Cons: N/A read more

Food is big and tasty waiting time is normal but pretty fast menu is easy to navigate and it has so many options employees are nice and kind the building feels nice and rustic its very clean and would go again read more

Decent American style, meat, potatoes, and gravy. Bacon and pancakes. This town is too small to offer much in the way of choice but this place is decent enough to warrant me eating here twice. Service was fine and hospitable. read more

The cheeseburger with all the fixings hit the spot after three days backpacking in the Trinity Alps Wilderness!! Thank you and friendly service too! My friends enjoyed their corned beef hash/eggs and patty melt as well. Comfort food at it's best and an authentic diner atmosphere . read more

Stopped in on a road trip and ordered the pork loin dinner. The pork was grilled perfectly and came with two sides. I had a fresh garden salad and vegetables plus corn bread. Mayra's service was outstanding, and she was personable and friendly. Dessert was exceptional too. We had apple pie with ice cream and a brownie sundae. We will definitely come back the next time we're in the area. read more

The restaurant was half full and the hostess was quick to seat us and take our order. We waited patiently (with 2 young kids) for over an hour before asking about the status of our breakfast - they hadn't started making it and there were "many tickets" ahead of us. She then told us that the golf course down the street had a great breakfast - really? read more

Great little spot that never disappoints, as soon as you enter, you feel As if you were at home with big smiles and welcoming service from the entire staff, especially Bella and Mayra, in my experience. The Liver and onions off the hook, especially when Naomi cooks it! Couldn't agree with Bill G's review exactly what you'd expect from a small town diner no frills, Just good food at a great price, with amazing service! Love it! read more

Great place for breakfast. Friendly diner that locals love. 50 style seating with side room with table.

Great food, service, and options! Scrambled eggs were so good! Coffee was hot and plentiful!

The Nugget is a greasy spoon country kitchen located in Weaverville California. I have tried to like the spot, because I have a lot of family members that thrive on this genre of food. I visited this restaurant many times in the last couple years, as I live in the area. It has at times been passable. Some of the highlights I've experienced there in my couple trips in 2019: - Scabby, disheveled cooks (you know what I mean by this) dropping audible f-bombs in the kitchen while loudly bemoaning/berating co-workers and owners. - 50 minute waits for simple country breakfasts while this spot was at 25% capacity. - Servers projecting anger and arguments at other customers because they were 'tired from a rush'. - Customer preference (i.e. a workers friend/regular shows up after other individuals had been seated... Has order taken, and received meal while the other customer clearly indicated they had been waiting to order, politely) .... And then there is today. A family member's birthday brought me here. We arrived at the tail end of a rush. Understandably, we were patient to wait to have our order taken because most of the tables were filled for Sunday brunch. Our order was finally taken, 30 minutes after arriving. This didn't chafe us too much because it's Sunday and we were there to celebrate... not just Chow down and split. Our order was taken, and the table next to us was seated. There were only three people in our party, and two in theirs. Their order was taken maybe 5 minute after ours. (This didn't bother us and made sense because by this time the restaurant was at maybe 10% capacity) 45 minutes later both our table and the table next to us we're waiting for our food still. I mentioned this to the waitress, who snapped at me 'No, they ordered at the same time!' Now, I'm a very jovial person. I do my best not to be high maintenance, especially in food establishments. But the tone this server employed in recording to me was not only unacceptable, not only condescending, but it was downright aggressive and argumentative. For possibly the first time in my 38 years of life, I retorted in kind. 'Hey lady... I'm not trying to fight... But why do you think you can treat me like this when I am paying to be here... And you're being paid to be here?' There is a sweet older lady that cleans up, buses, refills coffee etc. We have always had great rapport in my previous visits. She approached my table and said to me, 'I'm so sorry about the long wait and about her yelling at you. She is very sweet but we just got done with a big rush.' My response: 'part of the reason I come here is to pay for food and service. Neither of those things were delivered today and I was verbally accosted in the middle of a public setting. This will be our last trip here.' The sweet lady stormed off, we receive no other coffee refills or attention through our trip there. Everyone at our table was quiet because it had become awkward and uncomfortable. Allow me to state, for the record, that I had no point raise my voice or agressed this woman. I'd be quick to point out if I did.... Because I, like all humans, have moments of poor behavior as well. This first chapter of this review has only touched on our service (or absolute lack thereof). Now:. Food. Orders at my table: Biscuits and gravy for a child. Omelette, add bacon and sausage, with the additional instruction: please brown the hash browns, as last time they were undercooked and soggy. And me:. Chicken fried steak, hash browns, hard boiled eggs. All three orders arrived COLD. The child only ate a single biscuit and passed on the rest. Omelette: the total for this item came to ~$16 because of a $4 charge for 2 bacon slices, 2 sausage links 'added' to the omelette. Inside the omelette was the bacon that it alleged to include on-menu... And no sausage. The hash browns were charred (see pictured hash brown) Chicken fried steak: (this is the pictured meal) Again with the inedible, charred hash browns. Cold. Chicken fried steak was fried in to jerky. But hey... They did the toast right! Tl;Dr: if you happen to be in Weaverville, one of the hidden gems of northern California, skip this place. Terrible service, terrible food, and caustic argumentative workers make it less about your dining experience and more about surviving a negative encounter. Thanks for reading! read more

Not that great of food. Salad was all brown Freshness was no where to be seen. Salad came with daughters meal but they charged extra for it Sane with strawberry waffle on menu charged extra for the 3 tablespoons of strawberries Make sure snd check your ticket Or better yet. Drive right past the place it isn't worth it read more

If you don't offer outdoor seating, don't have outdoor seating... Went with my husband and my dog to have breakfast we sat outside we were told at least twice they weren't sure because of the smoke and the server has asthma. A different server came outside and repeatedly said she wasn't sure because the other server has asthma but then she said well I can serve you and I'm just like why say anything? Anyway, we left... if you don't want people to sit outside take your tables and chairs in. And if you offer outdoor seating make it clear to your workers they may have to go outside. On top of all this it was one of those places you just don't really feel like they want your money and the menu was pretty lackluster too... read more

Great little place to stop while passing through. Good food and great service. Friendly staff and patr

Let's be clear, the Nugget delivers exactly what you should expect from a small town diner. The menu hasn't change in years, but the eggs come out exactly how you order them. The price is perfect, but there are no frills. The best thing about the Nugget is the small town, make you smile service. Deana is awesome. She has such a great manner and clearly loves what she does. I am a pretty harsh critic of service most of the time, but with her I can't do anything but smile. If you want a small town, old school dining experience, the Nugget and Deana definitely give that to you. This is a 4-star review, but Deana's service is really 5-star. read more

Great old school diner! Came in around 2 pm after visiting the museum. Friendly, prompt service, classic cafe meals at a reasonable price. Homemade soup, liver & onions were above average. Good vibe, left happy & will be back! read more

Stopped in for breakfast last Saturday on our way through. We asked to sit outside since the inside was super loud and busy. After they took our order we waited almost an hour for our meal after going in multiple rimes to see if our food was still coming. I do think the waitress forgot to put our order in as there were plenty of people eating their meals that came in after us. Our waitress was frazzled when she finally brought our food and never came back. We had to come in to pay our check. And the meal was awful. Sorry. Was hoping for something better. read more

Great cheap and good American diner breakfast! Large portions, not greasy, tasty, great potatoes, huge pancakes, friendly and prompt service! Happy to make a special order for you too. Great breakfast place if you are in the area exploring or for... the yearly 12 hours of Weaverville MTB race! ;-) Opens really early, like at 6am I think. read more

Food made us sick. I had pancakes which where pretty good, but my son had the corned beef and it was the worst food he's ever had. Hardly ate any of it and got sick. My hubby had the Denver omelet and it tasted like rubber. Do not recommend read more

I would like a zero star because I didn't get to taste the coffee or water and never saw a menu. This is the only diner as far as we could see in Weaverville. I have a standing rule, if I don't have a menu, a cup of coffee, or a glass of water, or I will be with you in a minute by the waitress within 10 minutes I am out of there. We sat there in a cafe that was not even half full Ignored and even some locals came in and got their menu first. Never again! read more

The prices are expensive for what you get, which is nothing too special. Considering it's one of the only places to eat in town, you'd wish it was cheaper and tastier. The staff is pretty friendly, however. read more

This restaurant isn't racist. I'm as white as can be, don't look homeless, and was pretty much forgotten about just like anyone else until I went back inside to remind them that they have outside seating. When the waitress arrived she was pleasant and apologetic. The food was typical greasy spoon fare. You can't really screw up bacon & eggs so a restaurant can rise above mediocrity in my book simply by having excellent biscuits & gravy. I'm pretty sure their biscuits came out of a can but the gravy wasn't bad, at least it wasn't out of a packet. Restroom was out of TP. read more

First, let me state the obvious: I don't believe that all stars are created equal. And for this reason, this place is a 4 star in my book. Let me try and provide some context here. Road trip. Ok, so far so good. Said road trip is somewhat perturbed by a forest fire that forces us to drive an extra 250 miles in one day to get around the fire, only to land in Weaverville, aka Nowhereville. Now, nothing wrong with this, but when it's 8pm at night, there is nobody around and you see the golden neon light of Nugget calling your name in all caps....you just walk in, and hope for the best. So in we go (did I mention that we included yourself truly and his hard-core Parisian parents? it only gets better...). Where was I? Oh yeah, so in we go: starved, somewhat cranky (ie somewhat cranky in Parisian roughly translates to majorly pissed off, at best). Nugget is not a dive per se, it's just the local joint where the local hang out (hey, that is the only place to hang out). Strike that, I was trying to be nice: this place is a dive. But the good kind. The food was good, the beer was cold and, and, and, my folks left happier than ever, wondering what made their burger so unique (I meant to ask...but got worried they might not like the answer....). My mother suggested that maybe it was "ze cheezzze?", but I doubt it. If your travels take you to Weaverville, The Nugget is the place to go for dinner, breakfast, and anything in between! read more

This is the kind of place where everyone knows everyone. Unless you're from out of town - and then everyone knows they don't know you. Good diner food, comfy booths, and extremely friendly waitstaff. The menu contains all the required eats - burgers, sandwiches, eggs, pancakes, and grease. I got the grilled-cheese-fries-coke combo for $5. Can't beat that! The Nugget earns an extra star for their incredible homemade pies - especially the apple and the custard. Truth be told, I don't really know what custard is, but *damn* - the Nugget has some good custard. read more
