Gold Rush Grille

For state employees I'm not sure if there's a better deal downtown. Getting a full meal for about $10 is unheard of. The service is fast and friendly and the value is incredible. The food is pretty standard, nothing to brag about, but you'll leave full for cheap. Tons of seating with nice views of downtown out of the big glass windows.It's definitely in the lunch rotation

Overall: 3.8/5Food: 4/5Cleanliness: 3.5/5Customer Service: 4/5I got the breakfast scramble. Comes with 3 eggs, and I got all 4 meats: Chorizo, Sausage, Bacon and Ham, plus it comes with a Hash Brown and for $7.60! Hard to find any breakfast for that price.Now keep in mind, this is a cafeteria in the Secretary of State building, so do not expect top of the line restaurant quality. But for an affordable and good food option downtown, you cannot be mad at this place!Solid place to eat downtown!

So I usually go to LaBou when at work but decided to stop here for lunch as people have been bragging about the cafe. I went inside the building and noted it's secure. Must show security your state badge for access and if not a state employee you can sign the visitor log. Walked into the cafe and was a bit lost lol. I looked at the menu to find something to eat. I learned the salads are in the refrigerator and are fresh. Cash registers are in the middle toward the exit area. Staff were friendly and guided me because I was confused lol. My salad was sooo affordable and way cheaper than LaBou. I went back to my building to eat but you can eat in the cafeteria. When I ate my salad, I was sooo impressed by the freshness of everything and was full. I'm definitely coming back when in the office and bringing my peers with me. Can't wait to come back.

This place has been one of my favorite places to get lunch! When you walk in, it looks like a cafeteria but don't let that fool you because the food is SO good at such a great price. You can easily be full with less than $10. On days I just want a snack I get their soups of the day for $4. There is also a ton of seats if you want to sit down and enjoy your lunch. You do have to go up to the second floor to get to the restaurant and the security guard check badges. I am not a state employee but I work around the area and I've never had an issue getting to the restaurant. As long as you're wearing a badge they'll let you in.

This is a hidden gem for state workers looking for reasonably priced food. Just walk into the Secretary of State building and let security you want to go to the grille upstairs. They will ask to check your badge before letting you in. They serve both breakfast and lunch depending on the time you go. I have only tried their breakfast so far. I got the 3 meat (bacon, ham, and sausage) scramble with an extra hash brown for under $9. Definitely can't beat that especially these days.

Prices were great for an easy lunch spot. Food was good! Staff were friendly. The chef was also very nice and accommodating.

So my coworker told me to try this place as it was good food and reasonably priced. It is so good! I try and order different things every time but my favorite has been the Philly cheese steak! loaded with meat and cheese! soooo good! they also offer a daily special which I haven't tried but I'm sad I didn't the day they offered meatloaf and mashed potatoes. they also have premade salads and they're loaded with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend eating here and they also have a lot of seating.

This is not for the restaurant itself, but for the state building it's in. No one from the public can enter who is not an employee. Not even to go to the cafeteria. Even I have a picture ID and my work ID, I'm not allowed by security. This is of 4/13/22. I just wanted a breakfast burrito but I guess no one can eat there except state employees. So this is not a public place anymore. I tried to call to see if they can take a mobile order, but my calls went to voicemail.

Awesome place to go for lunch. I work in the area and go here all the time. At a time when everyone is raising their prices due to inflation, this place has been able to retain affordable pricing. I'd recommend trying the Buffalo chicken wrap or the chicken strips with the fries.

Fantastic and affordable diner style food and very friendly staff. Old school goodness.
