Gold Nugget Tavern & Grille - Sucks

Here's why I think the new Gold Nugget Tavern and Grille in Glen Lake, MN sucks balls and is a pale impostor:

1. Specialty Cocktails- WTF, I got a specialty cocktail its a god damn shell dark...maybe a shiraz if yer lucky.

2. Grill"e" - This isn't a fancy smchmancy chain is it?...maybe it is?

3. Kobe Beef Sliders - The nugget I remember didn't really even acknowledge japan...surely not as a beef producing country.

4. Calamari - the only fish should be cod, whitefish or walleye.

5. Brunch - Nuggeteers don't get up before noon?

6. Logo - Is this a restaurant or an iphone app?

7. Where the Fuck are the Onion Rings?

There are thousands of other reasons but these alone are more than enough to keep me away. If I wanted to go to Champs, I'd just drive my ass over to E.P. or Ridgedale.

The burgers may be good, but a place serving "gourmet" burgers and signature cocktails has surely lost it's soul as a destination burger joint. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise as even a faithful reproduction would surely not live up to the memories of years past.
