“ We had our wedding reception dinner at Claim Jumper inside the Golden Nugget on June 6, 2025, and it was absolutely perfect. The manager on duty went out of his way to make sure our night was magical! Even going to another restaurant just to get us a piece of cake so we could have our “first bite” wedding moment. It was thoughtful, above and beyond! The service, the energy, the care! Every detail made our celebration unforgettable. We can’t thank the team enough for making our wedding night dinner so exceptional. 3 ”
“ Can't believe they don't have Steaks on the menu here... but got the Widow Maker with onion rings and an order of wings. The Onion Rings are delicious. ”
“ We had extremely fast service and delicious drinks! The Blood Orange Mimosa was easily the best drink I had in Vegas. The pasta was awesome, too! Thank y’all! ”
“ It might not look too appetizing .. but This salad is the most delicious salad I have ever tasted. My husband isn’t into salads and he almost devoured the whole thing. We stayed for the weekend at the golden nugget and came here everyday. Their French fries and cheese bread are also good. The pizza is okay. I tried their margarita and I did not like it. I would stick to drinking from inside the casino or go to their champagne bar. I would recommend this salad so you can feel light and satisfied as you go off to gamble inside the casino. No Need for reservations. You can also use your Landry club membership to rack up points. They also stay open late for carry out only. ”
“ It was better than expected based on other reviews online. Ordering was easy, the wait was not long, but I do reccommend the restaurant start advertising more items because the menu inside on the wall only shows a few items like hamburgers and omelets. We didn't realize they had other options until we asked for a menu and was about to leave. Several other potential customers did walk out after reading the short menu. ”
“ Had a great experience! The manager (don't remember her name but she had beautiful red hair) was so kind. I will definitely be returning. ”
“ My favorite spot to eat when I’m at GN! I normally grab pizza Togo from the grill but dined in at the restaurant this time. This is by far the most beautiful salad I’ve ever had! It tastes amazing as well! Great presentation! ”
“ Stopped by for lunch before heading to the airport. All of our meals were amazing. Pricing was suitable. Service was great. The decor seemed a little outdated but other than that, excellent spot! ”
