Gold Dust Saloon

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
