Our Waitress was Chontell aka Telly. She was friendly and attentive. Our food was hot and tasty. I enjoy this restaurant because it comfortable and able to see people walking by. read more

The service is horrible. The first day here, I waited over 20 minutes just to find someone who would let me purchase a water bottle. The next day, I ordered breakfast for pick up. I ordered 30 minutes in advance so I wouldn't have to wait. When I arrived, they made up some excuse about "the computers being down so we didn't get your order" but then didn't ask me what the order was as they somehow knew.. lol. Very overpriced, lazy staff, basic food. read more

This Golden Nugget restaurant was great for breakfast, after a night at the casinos. Perfectly located inside the Golden Nugget, this was convenient, as well as tasty. Prices were a bit steep, but portions were large and, our waiter, Allen, was fabulous. A good spot to enjoy the Lake Charles view and have a nice breakfast. read more

Great place, but Charming - our wait person was positively charming! Great service, good food, excellent coffee. read more

The service by Linda was absolutely amazing! Food was great too! Burgers, shrimp, and pasta were all impressive, especially liked the onion rings! But the best part was the service by Linda, who was very timely, attentive, and went well beyond the standard in making sure we were pleased with our food and drink. Definitely will sit in her section next visit! read more

The view was the best. Food was cooked to perfection. Service was excellent. Allen has this service in lock. Will definitely be back.

Great food, minimal wait time and Daphne did an awesome job! Super personable and very likable

They have a great fresh crescent sandwich for breakfast. I highly recommend everybody try this sandwich. It's something I love to get. I usually stay at Laburge, a nice walk for breakfast. read more

Our server, MyUnique was excellent. We received our food timely and with a smile. the food was delicious. Will return

The early morning started great as we stopped for breakfast at CJ restaurant inside the Golden Nugget Casino in Louisiana. We were sat at the Cadillac side restaurant. We saw the high price of breakfast but the friendly smile from the waitress outweight the cost. We ordered the scrabble egg, ham, potatoes, extra for spinach, coffee & toast After the food was served it looked more like blob mountain not the presentation I was expecting. The pieces of ham size of peas, counted four leaves of spinach, tons of cheese and the eggs were all on top of this mountain half cooked hash potatoes. The bread was barely toasted and cold. I manage to pull out the scrabble eggs to eat. When the waitress arrived to ask how everything was, I said, no. I explained. She called her manager who happened to be the General Manger, Chris. I explained my concerns but instead he shifted the blame back to me. He said. I should have explained how I wanted my eggs cooked! He offered nothing, he said that's the way they cook what's on the menu. When you pay the high price of breakfast as we did it better come with "damm good customer service" even if it's a complaint or not. This manager probably doesn't care because it's not his business. People like this is what makes a business close. If you are reading this deciding to eat at CJ I say. Save your money there many restaurant you pay less for breakfast with much better customer service!!! Paid $72. Breakfast for two !!! I got ripped!! read more

This location food was always good when the hotel first opened. Since Covid - it has gone downhill. The food is horrible. Customer service has always been great. read more

Please skip this place. You can tell by the lack of people eating that it's not worth your money. We stopped for a quick snack to hold over before going out for dinner. The drinks were good no issue there. Very limited selection however. The wings were ok, got the half hot, half mild but all tasted the same. The fries were sad, limp, no seasoning you could taste, just poor. The service was great until she disappeared. Never asked how the food was out checked back if we wanted a second round of drinks. read more

I came here three times. Food was cold. Food was terrible and and stale. Don't recommend it. Don't come and waste your money terrible food.

I want to start this review with what I know! We have always had excellent service at the Golden Nugget's restaurants. This trip, 11/24/25 @ 1:10pm, was not the case. We were greeted by dead house plants! Usually there is a jovial, happy, smiling person but not today! We were seated in the section to the left. Michelle was our server who came in about 10 minutes after we were seated. The table near us were super loud = rude! Not Michelle's fault. But after she took our food order, she came back in where she stood there and talked to these people for about 10 minutes. Then we waited another 15-20 minutes to get our food. After we got our food, she was no where to be found. Didn't come ask us if we needed anything (we had steak & eggs so could have needed something) and we didn't see her for a long while. It was just bizarre. Maybe the kitchen was short handed, I have no clue. Gave her my Landry's phone number and she put in for my points. She was nice but there was something going on in general! Sad to say, our worst experience with any Landry's restaurant. read more

We ate breakfast here. Nothing special about the place nor the food. But we were hungry so we ate. It took a minute for our food, but it wasn't terribly long. It's a smaller restaurant inside the casino. read more

Host was rude when we wanted to sit one table over from where we requested. She said there were no severs when like five severs walked out. She took our menus and put them back one table over after we sat down at our desired table. Then another host came and sit someone at the table section we wanted within minutes. Our server James was very attentive and sweet. Race Favoritism shit has got to STOP!!! Claim Jumper Host was a racist. Our stay at the hotel stay was very nice!! First class!! read more

Was excited about trying this place. But was disappointed. Food was average. Service was slow. Waiter brought my ticket, but took forever to come get it. I had to ask for him to come get it so I could check out. And they were not busy. More tables open than in use. read more

Apparently after 11pm the only food available at the Golden Nugget is a walk up order and go at claim jumper restaurant. Highly disappointed at an establishment like the Golden Nugget. We ordered a couple items (very small menu) wings and cheese sticks. My gosh, these were the worst wings I've ever eaten. I guess we should have gone outside the Nugget to find something to eat. Long lines to order your food. read more

You need to improve your food and service. We had to eat here as it was the only available restaurant in the casino. The food was close to inedible. The tortilla soup had the thickness of oatmeal. The grilled chicken was so overly seasoned, the dinners next to us asked if we were eating liver and onions. Their food wasn't eaten either. My recommendation is don't eat here. read more

once again I had great service from Francis and her trainer Kevin ! Had breakfast for late lunch .

1/5 stars for food. 2/5 stars because at least their mimosas eased my suffering a little. Do not come with any expectations of good food. Pretend the worst cook you know opened their own restaurant in the Golden Nugget and you came to support. Order the chopped sirloin steak on the menu and pass you a hockey puck of ground beef. They are trying their best... And the salmon. You better not have any heart conditions because the hard, salt crust will absolutely raise your blood pressure. read more

These people were very inconsiderate and extremely rude. In the middle of our meal we were asked to switch tables because we were at the dine in table and not the take out table to make room for the other people...THERE WERE NOT ANY OTHER PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE RESTURANT. Probably beacuse of this terrible service. 0/10 do not recommend this. Ruined a great time we were having. read more

This place has horrible service. Took almost an hour to get a sandwich and salad. Only 10 customers in the restaurant that has a capacity of 113 so that tells you it wasn't busy. Server never apologized for the long wait time either. On the positive side the club sandwich was really good, but not good enough to wait an hour for. This was not the first time we've had to wait a long time for food even though the restaurant had no crowd. This will be our last visit though. read more

So many people standing around. We were seated 20 mins. Finally had to ask if we had. Server. Then all was good.

Food was good. I had the steak and baked potato and veggies. Daughter had the scramble! Our service was awesome! We had Heidi and she took care of us and made sure everything was great. read more

I took a weekend trip to Lake Charles and stayed at L'Auberge. The nice thing is they have a complimentary shuttle that takes you to and from L'Auberge and The Golden Nugget. The shuttle comes every 20 minutes or so. For lunch one day, we stopped by Claim Jumper Restaurants for lunch. There was a wait in their main dining room but they have a small area where you can order at the counter and eat there. Since we didn't want to wait, we went with the second option. I went with the fish tacos with fries and an orange juice. You have the option of fried fish or grilled fish and I went with one of each. Fish tacos are one of my go-to's, though I don't have them often, and these didn't disappoint. They wrapped them in tin foil which made them easy to eat. The fries were okay but it was a small portion. I expected more from a spot like this, especially at a casino. While most of the dining options at The Golden Nugget are unremarkable, they give you the fuel you need to attack the casino. read more

The food was good, but don't know if the staff was understaffed or the cooks are as slow as molasses. That service was terrible

Horrible customer service - I'm very surprised this place hasn't closed the doors - maybe the drunks and losers are keeping it open. We stopped in about 3:00 AM - hey it's Vegas oops that's right it's Lake Charles which I must say deserves a much better option at this hour for those of us adding to the bottom line of the Golden Nugget. Hey there are some positives - it's 3:00 AM and they are still serving food unlike the neighboring casino I'm staying at. Breakfast - two eggs over medium (a little more translucent than I like I hate when the white is like jelly) typical dry ham - under cooked hash-browns and the toast arrived with the check... Classic Cheese Burger and Fries - the fries are amazing thin and crispy, the burger was just okay I won't say I won't be back because at 3:00 AM driving is not an option and even the worst service seem only bad when you got your package on... read more

Unfortunately, couldn't eat there because the service was nonexistent. I'm sure the food is good, unfortunately wait staff was too busy to serve us. Better off going somewhere else. read more

This place has always sucked, both with service and with food quality. Wife and I have eaten there several times and it has always been horrible. Think owners and management would get the hint and significantly improve by now but no dice. Maybe new owners and staff would work. Employees who work there walk around like they don't care. Place SUCKS! read more

Used to be great but now I would rather go to Denny's. Service and food quality has tanked over the years.

The customer service here is horrendous. I really should have looked them up on yelp prior to eating at this FINE establishment. We waited to be seated. The hostess was nice enough, but we didn't have anyone come to take our drink order until 10 minutes later. By that time we already knew what we wanted to eat. So we put in our order. My friends has some dietary restrictions... we asked if the chicken was breaded...the waitress told us no so we went ahead and ordered it. They also ordered the steak and wanted to replace fries with anything else and all she said was "no subs" -- understandably each restaurant has their own rules. It took about half an hour before she brought food out. The chicken was definitely breaded and the steak dish--well, you can see for yourself. Halfway through the meal, our drinks were empty. She came, offered a refill, and never came back. 15 minutes later we spotted her and waved her down... asked for drink refills. She said sure, walked away, and disappeared for another 10 minutes. She finally comes back with no drinks, quickly grabs the plate my friend was still working on and just leaves the check. Before I even realized what was happening, she's gone again. I looked at my friend and he was so shocked. He still had a chicken wing in his mouth. LOL what in the world. This is the first time I've ever considered not tipping. But ugh I tipped anyway. read more
