    Absolutely a must-do experience. It is a steak house, however, so the pricey fish was a bit overdone.

    It was a really cool atmosphere but the food was all gross. Reminded me of a golden coral or Lubys. Very 1990’s. Extremely overpriced for what you get. The quality and price did not match .

    The Gold Rush Steak House is the perfect spot for that special dinner. The food selections should meet any taste, the preparation and service were exceptional. We had a special request that our server was happy to accommodate.
