The front facing the street is nothing special, so I had pretty low expectations going in however the inside is pretty spacious and looks very clean, with multiple TVs on the walls and a nice bar area. There's also a back patio and a band was setting up while we were there to play some live music. The service was really good and efficient. I got a green chile bowl, half-spicy and it was pretty intense. This is coming from someone who can take heat! Not a ton of beers on tap, but enough for me. I highly recommend Venga (Mexican Lager) - I'm not affiliated with them just like the beer. 4-5 stars - I should probably try this place in a later hour in the evening when it's a little more 'alive' however I am marking this as a place to go when I'm in town again. read more

Gold Dust Saloon - chile bowl - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Pueblo, Colorado

Dined in tonight and had a fiesta slopper and onion rings. My server Jonathon was super great and attentive, even with a large group across the restaurant. I asked if he suggested the onion rings or curly fries and he said the onion rings are made and battered in house so I tried those. Onion ring texture was great but the batter needed more seasoning. Slopper was good. Dr. Pepper was good and crispy (it's that or Pepsi products here). Chill vibes for me to eat and work on my laptop, bonus points because they have wifi. Street parked for free on the street pretty easily. read more

The green chili chicken and waffles was AMAZING!!! The service was wonderful! Chris did a great job serving and checking in on us and it made the experience that much better! Great place to grab some food with quick service and great quality! read more

I chose this place to have my first slopper. I was pleasantly surprised! I had the chili relleno slopper, and they brought me a full side of hot chili on the side. Great and friendly service and the prices were right. I would share this next time cuz I had to waddle out. read more

Service and genuine welcoming warmth that lifted my spirits - but they burger was the main draw. This thing was bigger then the picture, flavored perfectly, cooked exactly as I ordered it but the real kicker was that every topping stayed on until the third to last bite. my only complaint is that I didn't order the heavier burger because I whooped it down so fast! read more

I've been a customer for years. They always provide excellent service, and the food is always good. My favorite is the Pueblo Philly. Definitely a great spot for any occasion! Love this place. read more

Despite the contradictory reviews, I couldn't even wait till after finishing our food. We went here for the first time for lunch and got their carne asada steak sandwich and the what a night burger. Both came out delicious and hot. Their baked potato soup was immaculate. And their chicken taco appetizer was pretty yummy too! Service wise they have done a fantastic job keeping up with us and our needs. We sat out in the porch and they have still gotten to us in a timely manner and our server, Savannah was very sweet and fun to have. Music was great as well! We even went as far as to order their dessert! Definitely a good lunch spot for us. read more

Gold Dust Saloon - Half eaten delish food - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Pueblo, Colorado

I should have trusted my intuition walking into this place. It was completely empty, while other restaurants were bustling. And sure enough, I got violently ill from food poisoning as a result. There were so many warning signs, but the main thing I want to mention is the main course that got me sick, which was a new item--the steak salad. The seasoning was off, and the meat came out gray. I just trusted that they knew what they were doing, so that's on me. There was also hair in it that I didn't find until I was nearly done. The silverware wrapped in napkins was filthy and left dirt stains on the napkins. The beer samples did not taste like the larger glasses, so I'm not sure what that's about. The place is disgusting and I would not recommend eating here for health reasons. I ended up vomiting for seven straight hours, and could not even keep water down. I was bedridden for more than a day. It's just not worth the risk. read more

I haven't been to Gold Dust in a while and heard they were under new ownership and figured we'd give it a try. Gold Dust has always been a great Pueblo staple so I've never personally had a poor experience, but after reading these reviews I was a bit skeptical. First things first I wish I would have taken photos because when our food came out I was shocked by the portion sizes - they were huge! We went mid-week for lunch and it wasn't too busy so we sat on the patio. We ordered our food and it came out really quick, in fact so quick the group next to us encouraged her friend to order after coming in late because she literally got her food within 5 minutes of ordering. We order fried pickles as appetizers and the only odd thing was there were 4 large pickles and a normal amount of smaller strips - in our opinion the smaller pickles were better so definitely should just stick with that! I ordered the 1/3 slopper and it was massive! I was shocked by how large the portions really were. The green chili was very flavorful, had some heat and was overall really good. It tasted a lot like how we make it at home :) I also got my fries smothered and they were equally smothered and good. I read some of the comments about the sloppers and didn't agree, and again wish I would have taken photos! Our group also got the Haystack Pork Belly Burger and that was shocking huge as well! It looked very tasty and the portions were great. Overall we had a good experience and everything was awesome -- definitely give it a chance and try out the food. read more

Service and food was great, our server was amazing, making sure everyone was happy. All though the patio was reserved for the East Eagles Class of 1984 (40th ) reunion. Too bad the restrooms were a mess!! Leaves all over-the patio tables were dirty and ants all over! Bathrooms were filthy, pretty sad for a place we brought out of town too show case our town, sorry to the people that came. DK Moreno read more

We dined here this evening because the Gold Dust had been rated 2nd best slopper in Pueblo. It was happy hour, so we ordered their 'happy hour' slopper. It's a quarter pounder, rather than the 1/3 or 1/2lb. regular menu choices. We were a bit disappointed as,we were expecting a more impressive slopper. Hence 4 stars We'd say the sloppers were competent, but unremarkable. Both sides of the bun were included, so the chili, cheese, and onion were on the top of the bun. That soaked up much of the chili, so it was difficult to actually get much chili. The burger was good. Curly fries on the side, partially smothered, were crispy because of a savory coating. A very good American pale ale was on tap. The venue is rather spartan. Plenty of staff. We arrived early on a Friday evening, so it may pick up later. There are open patios front and back, which shpul be nice in warm weather. read more

The service was awful, had to get up multiple times to ask for refills, napkins and finally our ticket. Two bowls of green chili and a slopper took way to long to be served. I won't be back. read more

Great place for food and drinks. I love the atmosphere! The waitress was very helpful and efficient. The owner Mike is very friendly. I ordered the Double Thunder Humper Slopper and it's was very very good. A Slopper is a open face burger with fries, smothered in chili. The fries are thin, which I enjoyed because they were perfectly crisp. The green chili on top tasted really good. I'm surprised that this place are not famous for the Slopper because it was as good or better than other places that I have tried around town. I highly recommend this place to anyone that want to grab a bite and a drink while Downtown, just a minute walk from the famous Riverwalk. read more

We searched for a patio that allowed dogs. We found such a great place. The even had bowls of water for our pup. Food was good as well. read more

Great food, mean waitress, but good food!! This is a must when in the Pueblo City area! I've been here several times.

1st off, Corey did a great job taking care of us. Super pleasant and paid attention to us. Kudos! Out and about in Southern Colorado with our pooch. Yelp to find a dog friendly place. Stopped mid afternoon and sat on the front patio. Water bowls set out for their canine customers. Prices reasonable. Had the buffalo chicken sandwich that came with bacon & cheese. Yummy. Side was the mug of potato soup. Delicious and I recommend. Boss had the slopper burger with smothered fries. Mixed the hot & mild. Also delicious and enough for two meals. Overall a 4. Corey kicked it up to a 5. On our list for our next visit to Pueblo. read more

The absolute worst restaurant I've ever been to! Started badly, we were not greeted and just had to find our own seats, then of course NO service. Had to go to the bar to get drinks....then tried to go to the bar to get food and was told HILARIOUSLY that a server would be with us shortly. Then we waited outside for a lifetime until I saw a server getting someone elses order and asked if he could take ours.....the food was ATROIOUS, frozen premade disgusting. The manager spent her entire time on her phone but when we finally got fed up with the horrible experience she managed to get her considerable weight up to run out and give us a check, with an attitude I should have called the police about. No one should ever eat here!! I don't have the vocabulary to tell you how bad this place is. Never go here, its terrible and especially the staff, its one thing to get bad food, its another for all the staff to be texting while you have to go to the bar to get food and drink, AND THEN get chastised for complaining. THE ABSOLUTE WORST, NEVER EAT HERE and the owners should fire the manger. Heres my number so the owner can call and apologise, 719 271 6754. read more

Went in right Before chili fest and ordered a burger cooked medium with everything on it to go, when i got back to work to eat it, it had nothing on it, and was straight up rare. Called to tell them as i genuinely enjoy the food. Girl who answered was short with me, didn't really care, and told me a manager would call. Never happened. Foods decent most of the time, but i don't appreciate the response or the lying. Not for me. read more

This restaurant had been stellar pre-Covid. We came here once during the pandemic and it was a disaster. I chalked that off to the struggles finding employees, etc. I did not write reviews during the period since I did not think it fair given the circumstances. I also wondered in this case if the ownership had changed. We attended a party here conducted on this facility's back patio. About 60 people were in the group. The good: 1. Party area setup 2. Liquid refreshment of ice tea, lemonade, and ice water were easily accessible and constantly re-filled. 3. A four choice item menu was offered. 4. Ordering was done ad hoc so the food would be freshly cooked. The bad: 1.Only one wait person was assigned to attend to the party. 2. Although she worked her butt off once people ordered they mingled and she became confused as to who ordered what and started delivering the wrong dishes to whomever would take them. There was only less than half as many patrons inside being attended to by at least four employees including the owner/manager. The owner/manager was going around to the tables inside talking up those customers and the one table on the front patio. He showed up once for three minutes at the party only to talk up the host. Now look, an owner, I guess, can do whatever they want. But if you are not going to manage your restaurant hire someone who will. We ordered a grinder (a Pueblo Sicilian sausage sandwich) to split and were served a chicken sandwich. We bit into it before we realized the error so we ate it. The slopper (Pueblo's famous open faced hamburger with fries and green chili on top) and the grinder looked much, much better than the chicken sandwich that was pretty bad. read more

I've been coming to the Golda saloon for years. The quality is never diminished the service has always been good and the beers are wonderful. It's a staple for me in my restaurant list. I encourage you to try everything that they have, I have! And it's all just spectacularly good. read more

We tried this while in Pueblo over the weekend. My main reason for the low rating is that my husband is a pescatarian. He was very excited to try to your vegan slopper. However, after we all ordered, the server came back and said you had no vegan options. No vegan chili, no impossible burger. If you're going to offer vegan/vegetarian food on the menu, you should have it available. Super disappointing. He ended up getting the $15 fish and chips and said it tasted like frozen fish. My cheeseburger was fine, but overcooked. My kid liked her nuggets. read more

Don't even bother! We walked in and waited to be seated. No one came to seat us. There were a couple of tables with diners and all the rest were empty. That should have been our first clue. We left and I am glad we did. read more

Fast and friendly service. Philly was delicious. The new Maui burger was too salty. I think they used either too much seasoning or sauce on the burger. Drinks were delicious. Pet friendly patio. read more

Ate at the gold us today or should I say we took a nap at the Gold Dust today. We waited for our food close to 45 minutes for a burger and a French dip... Next time we will head to McAllister's! Did I mention we were the only table in the dining room at 3 pm it is now 5pm oh brother... I could have gone Grocery shopping for the amount I paid for 2 sandwiches 2 sodas and 2 desserts. Won't be back... and the waitress never offered us a refill on our drinks... read more

I've been going to the Gold Dust for 20 years but I'm not going back anymore. They have recently decided to become a cabaret and the quality of the food has gone way down. What has always been a fresh, homemade menu is now no different from what you get in the frozen food section of the grocery store. I'd rather try the food truck at the fair that has no line. So sad what has happened to a place I used to love. read more

All I can say that was a waste of money. Everything was pretty tasteless. Maybe the sauce had a taste but barely. Fry's where absolutely disappointing . The burgers where nasty not a fan of tasteless food! And I paid $5 for this tiny piece of brownie seriously $5 and it was horrible most of the food was thrown away could not eat it! read more

Gold Dust Saloon - $5 for this tiny piece of brownie? Pretty tasteless and not worth it - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Pueblo, Colorado

Went in for a family dinner and the staff refused to allow us to move a table so that our 4 children all under the age of 7 could sit with us. The attitude we got from the staff when we asked to move a table was very unpleasant. Definitely will not be going back. read more

We had lunch today. We ordered about 2:00pm and didn't get our food did come till 2:50pm. I had a salad and ordered green chili and got potato soup. The soup was bland and the salad dressing wasn't good. The server brought me the green chili. It was not good. My husband had the Fiesta and he didn't like it. My friend ordered fries and they fries were not cooked enough. The server did her best but the food and cooks may need to be re-evaluated. read more

We had a huge group, last minute thing and weren't able to make reservations in advance. We were turned away at other places nearby. Gold Dust said come on in! They were short staffed so Corey the bartender was also our server. He was absolutely fabulous, straightforward, and made some damned good drinks. The atmosphere was great and the food was top notch. Will definitely go again. read more

I hosted a end of year party for teachers at Gold Dust. We wanted to sit outside and reserved the back patio. I originally estimated 70 people and set it up. We would have a taco bar and a drink ticket provided to each guest. As time drew near, our numbers changed and we ended up with 50 people. The day of the party, the weather was cold and rainy. Mike called me to see if I wanted to move it inside. He accommodated us and kept the other patrons happy. The food was great - Tim was in charge of our party -, the wait staff and bartender were attentive. This was the easiest party I have planned! Great job Gold Dust! read more

This place looked better in the pictures. The food was okay. We sat outside and our waitress didn't seem like she wanted to be there came out once and never offered refills. We had to go in once to ask for our check. The food wasn't that great. The kid meal chicken nuggets looked like frozen chicken nuggets and for $5.25 with No drink is just a little ridiculous. The Chile cheese fries were good. But the cheeseburger with "blue cheese" and pepper jack was odd. My husband was very disappointed in his meal. I don't think we plan on visiting this place any time soon. read more

Daisy was our server --she's a . Attentive, great service, plus lots of flavors for the bottomless mimosas. Perfect place to chill and enjoy Sunday funday read more

Great find! This place was a life saver on a rainy Thursday night in Pueblo. The food was delicious- highly recommend the grilled cheese with chili. And on top of a great menu, the service was amazing. Ryan was the absolute best. He gave us suggestions on places to visit in Pueblo and we swapped some travel stories and even a few drink recipes. The conversation and friendliness made us feel like we were locals. Perfect way to end our trip in Colorado. Looking forward to stopping in again soon!! read more

Right in the middle of a section of this old steel town of historic buildings and shops. Close to downtown and the new River Walk. A great place for a gathering of old friends. Relaxing, comfy and welcoming. There is a wonderful small covered patio right on the street-front and a large covered patio in the back. The menus look like they've been around since the Gold Dust Days, but the burgers and fries were mouthwatering and piled high. And any saloon that has my beloved Guinness in a bottle, gets an A+ from me. . . . . especially, if they are on the other side of the pond and out in what I've always felt was the middle of nowhere. Old steel town, but they know how to treat a visitor. read more

Love this place . $2.00 PBR all day $1.00 to add bacon to a burger. Fries are kick ass too. Also love this place as it is where my first date was with my wife of 17 years. Go here... it's good read more

Giving it two stars for the quick service alone, food was absolute garbage. We got the "caprese" salad (pretty sure they have no idea what goes into that), and the Pueblo cheesesteak. Don't waste your money.. read more
