Well I finally did it. After almost 2 decades in Reno Nevada I finally stopped in last week and tried the Famous Awful-Awful burger from The Nugget. I didn't even know about this joint until I saw Dave Attell visit The Nugget on the Comedy Central Insomniac Show.

I was working downtown today so I decided to take the short walk from the Cal Neva over to The Nugget.  It's a small South Virginia Street Casino across from Harrahs Reno. I made my way to the back (about 35 steps) to where the kitchen was and pulled up to a seat at the lunch counter.

We've often drove by and never stopped in. Well tonight we stopped in. We have been missing out for years.  We had some of the most incredible food, awesome service & the greatest atmosphere ever.

Our evening started with a cold glass of Shock Top beer, For our appetizer we had a plate of smoked trout, cream cheese, toasted bread, red onions & capers. Incredible. Main courses were Rib Eye steak with deep fried baked potatoe, Baby back ribs with Au Gratin potatoes & parmesean tomatoes. I dont think I have ever had a steak taste so great. The parmesean tomatoes were awesome! The service, well our server was Kia and she was great. We felt right at home and had one of the most wonderful dinners ever.

We will definately be back! I can't recommend Ruby River Steakhouse enough. If your looking for great food, wonderful service & a terrific atmosphere at a great price then Ruby River Steakhouse is the place to go.
