The Nugget Long Beach Reviews
Food was great. They have a mariachi band Thursdays in the evening which is nice. Service is great too. I got the burger combo and a side of chardonnay. Great overall. Will be back.
Filled with hungry and thirsty students, the Nugget serves the perfect cravings for all palates. Grab a beer with some fries or a healthy salad with a fountain drink just before class.

The greatest place on the campus of California State University, Long Beach. I love eating here, its awesome,great food, Sports always on, I know the manager, Nick, he's super cool. Everything about the Nugget is awesome sauce!!! CSULB is awesome in of itself, beautiful grounds, just beautiful people. Go Beach!!!!!
Awesome place to grab a quick bite for lunch in between classes. Definitely has more character than any of the chain places in the food court. The Long Beach Burrito is GREAT.
This place was surprisingly good for on campus food. I would totally eat here even as a normal restaurant, not just as convenient campus fare. The torta was fresh and great, the sides super tasty.
Upon graduating, the best 4 years of college were eating at the Pub. Looking back, I now realized that the quality of the food outweighed the expenses of all the nearby restaurants except for Del Taco's Stoner Burrito. Other than that, you can never go wrong. DO NOT TREAT THEM WITH DISRESPECT. Sometimes, it's get busy and mistakes happen like when you rush your essays and group projects. Handle it with grace, love, and kindness as you would handle a CAPSTONE class not related to your major.
Great food, great service, great staff. Pizza's aren't the best, but literally EVERYTHING else is amazing. I always get the BBQ Ranch Quesadilla -- I could drink the sauce alone it's so yummy. I also love the turkey burger with seasoned fries. That was my go-to lunch for about a year.
My favorite place to hang out on campus every Thursday! Tap takeover with local bars is awesome, lots of the brewers come and hang out. Also great munchies breakfast and lunch to have with one of a dozen draft beers. Had a few mornings with a breakfast burrito and draft ipa questioning where i was in life.

Not your father's Nugget Grill and Pub. Back in the early 90s the Nugget was the on campus spot for reasonably priced pizza and beer. I found myself on campus this morning, so we decided to go to the Nugget for breakfast. I ended up ordering a breakfast bowl @ the price of $7.99. It was filling, but not remarkable. BTW, if you wonder sometimes if getting a degree is worth the effort. The answer is yes! Do it!

Good food, and great atmosphere! Breakfast burritos are sold all day, which is definitely a plus. Don't get the Philly Cheesesteak, though. It's okay, not great.
Cool place to eat on campus. I love the events you stumble upon when you go in the evening. Live bands, karaoke... The only thing is that I stumbled upon those events when I was there with someone and we spent the rest of the hour yelling to hear each other over the music. But they have good food and beer so it's a great place to chill to wait out the rush hour traffic on the 405.
Food was actuslly really good, only complaint I would have is that my friend had to go ask for his food because he never got called up for it. Still though, everything was handled perfectly fine and we still enjoyed our meal there.

The burgers here are depressing and they have no beer on tap or bottle except the garden variety grocery store 6 pack beer. Other than that, they have some nice fries and it's a nice place to go with friends. Sit outside if you can. It can get very loud inside. Plus, who doesn't love the sunshine and the beautiful people walking around?
It's an on-campus bar and grill. 2 drink limit and the food is wildly mediocre but good for what it is. The atmosphere is the best part, making this a fun place to meet up wih friends during the school day.
Extremely underwhelming food, delivered slowly. They do have a fair beer selection however, and the employees are friendly. I can't get over how awful and bland the food is, however. It's just cafeteria quality. Even the club sandwich is made with pre-sliced American cheese.
Decent but overpriced. Food quality can vary wildly depending on the time of day and mood of the workers. Overall, a decent amount of food for what you pay though. Expect to pay $8-10 for a single entree on average, more if you want a full meal.
The carnitas bowl is not something you should get, I used to get it because it had more beans and carnitas as well as the tortilla chips. This time, I had more than half o the bowl full of white rice. It used to be red rice but now they changed it. It was $10 I did not enjoy it as much as I did before and there were only about 15 beans in there. I didn’t like it.
The food is somewhat expensive and the quality is very mid. Like I wouldn't actively seek it but I'd eat it. Atmosphere would be a lot better if they didn't play that dumb football show on max volume that literally no one watches there

The nugget is run by students that don’t care about service and don’t know what service they offer. my food sat and received it cold and charged for dressing for salad. It’s hard to support campus auxiliary’s when service and food is so poor. Place needs to be closed And bring back off campus food chain restaurants. Go to student union for campus food or better yet go off campus. No worth a visit
