The Nugget to Serve Classic American Cuisine on Linden Ave.
The Carpinteria location aims to serve both longtime fans of the brand and new visitors in the coastal community. The Nugget first opened in Summerland around 1970 and has since expanded to Goleta and now Carpinteria. The new outlet is owned and operated by Cindy Catteno, daughter of Summerland Nugget owner Bob Montgomery.
The restaurant has a selection of steaks, sandwiches, fresh seafood, fried chicken and other classic American dishes. The new outlet in Carpinteria is also dog-friendly and offers patio dining for those looking to dine outdoors.
Their infamous prime rib dinner will be on offer throughout their Prime Rib Nights on Friday and Saturday, starting at 4 pm. The prime rib dinner is a hearty meal consisting of a prime rib roast served with au jus, creamy horseradish and a choice of any two side dishes. It is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
The restaurant does not offer reservations. To learn more about their offerings, visit the official website.

Does anyone know what “infamous” means when they write this stuff? (Something “well known for some bad quality or deed”–so not mu ch of a recommendation for their “infamous prime rib dinner”)
Looks pretty good. We’d be willing to try it if there is more comfortable seating; not a fan of chairs.
