We are so glad we walked in to The Nugget in Carpinteria. Our service was great and the food was delicious. Wish we lived closer so we could come back sooner. So many great options on the menu so there is something for everyone. Our table was on the route from the kitchen so we got to watch all the dishes coming out and everything looked and smelled so good. Great decor so lots to look at and we loved the history that it used to be a library. There is even a book share box out front. Too cute. We will definitely be back on our next trip.

Had brunch at the nugget over the weekend. Great offerings, portion size, and atmosphere. The service was great and our food arrived to our table soon after ordering. They also had two tvs WITH NFL on so we didn’t miss any of the action.

I think the one is much more comfortable. I had a bad day because 2 drunks at the bar would not stop yelling at each other. Even the bar tender told them to quiet down and cut them off. On the other side a screaming child. The seats are hard. I ordered the stroganoff which should be creamier in my opinion. The decor is like the one in Summerland which will be my favorite now.

Great little version of The Nugget. Maybe call it The Nuggie.... Same menu and full bar. I had the Turkey club and wife had gold miners basic. Classic good food and service.
