Red Lobster
Sep 29, 2009 by Michelle from Sparks

Overall Rating: 5
Food:[8] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Food.
• Server and the manager.

“Food was good as usual and don't mind the prices but then there was my great obese server. She was not only ugly and huge but a terrible server. I guess friends are more important than customers to her, she kept paying more attention to them that too any of her duties. Why do we have to put up with people like that? I mean, I did not chose her job, she did. At least she could try to fix her teeth and loose some weight, may be that is why she look so tired to take care of the people who at the end would tip her? And then there was the manager, any way, she was as bad as the server. At least she could brush her teeth or put a mint in it. She stunk like old alcohol. Totally disappointed with Red Lobster for having people like that working there. Oh! Well.”

Record Street Cafe Inc
Aug 5, 2009 by John from Spalding, UK

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• The food, the staff, the coffee, the energy bars.
• That I live in England and have to wait until I'm in Reno to eat here.

“Whether you go winter or summer try the soup (stunning cauliflower and others in the winter, amazing cold fruit soups in the summer), have a terrific sandwich, save space for the best bread pudding you'll ever taste (varies every day as they use whatever muffins and/or French toast they have available) - and it comes with a Bourbon sauce! Then, finish with the Grand Cafe - the best coffee I've ever tasted! I cannot praise this place too highly - food is top class quality, like you would expect in a top class establishment, but it's available in a cafe near UNR. We visit from the UK at least six different weeks a year and this is our favorite eating place in the whole of the city.”

West Second Street Bar
Feb 17, 2009 by Stef from West Rutland

Overall Rating: 5
Atmosphere:[5]

• Reasonably priced drinks.
• A little divvy.

“Honestly, I didn't mind it. Not fabulous, but reasonably priced drinks. Good music. I had a great time last I was there, and plan to go again.”

Amelias Rest & Flight Line Bar
Oct 23, 2008 by Valerie from Reno

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Food was incredible!
• The prices were a little high for my taste, for lunch for two $35.

“The fajitas were phenomenal! The wait staff is super friendly and it is so cool to watch the planes as you are eating your meal! The salsa is really good too!”

Joe's Diner
Jul 9, 2008 by James from Reno, Nevada

Overall Rating: 1

• I was reminded of to be more careful when choosing a place to eat.
• Very expensive for average food. No value here and the food is not that good.

“The staff is rude and very un-friendly. The menu is very limited and very expensive. My wife and I went in for one of their breakfast specials, ended up ordering bacon and eggs. The menu price was $8.99 for 3 eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast. We asked for only 2 eggs thinking there would be a reduction in price. Nope! And the coffee was only $2.25 per cup. The waitress never came back for refills until she was clearing the table and presenting us the check. Our breakfast special ending up costing over $24 smackers for 2 eggs and bacon and a pound of potatoes. Our recommendation is for anyone to avoid Joes unless you like spending a lot of money in a not so classy joint. Joes will probably be out of business soon.”

• Not a single thing.
• Everything about west second bar is negative.

“If I could rate this place in the negatives, I would.”

Rickshaws Fine Asian Bistro
Apr 15, 2008 by Jason from Reno

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[8] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Clean, good value, skillful sushi prep.
• Nothing. My #1 place in town.

“One of the better places in Reno for sushi. Seems like there are hundreds in town. Menu has all the standards, including Godzilla rolls, rainbow, etc. Some rolls are house specials, and all are very good. Nothing especially authentically Japanese, but the overall value and quality much better than others in town (especially better than Sushi Club). Tell the chef what you like, and custom rolls will quickly appear. Everything fresh and high turnover, which is always a plus when dealing with seafood. In town, Sushi Moto in South Reno is also an excellent second choice.”

Pegs Glorified Ham & Eggs

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Liked food, service, atmosphere. Very warm and inviting.
• Didn't like how busy it always is. That's what you get for a great place though.

“I love this restaurant! My husband and I love to eat here whenever we get a chance! I wouldn't consider it romantic per say just because we usually eat breakfast there and it's hard to make breakfast romantic to me but we love to go on weekends and the service is fantastic! Great little place to just drop in and eat. Food is amazing and it really has a small diner feel to it which is nice and cozy. Wonderful!”

Archies Famous Grill
Mar 4, 2008 by Karen from Reno

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Great Food, Great Service.
• Music too loud in the morning.

“We love Archie's, especially for breakfast. The only complaint is the music at 8 to 10 am should be softer or not as loud. We usually end up asking them to turn the music down but within 10 to 15 minutes its back blaring again. It's impossible to carry on a conversation. I have heard others ask that the music be turned down also, so I know it's not just us. We have bypassed going there a few times for this reason.”

West Second Street Bar
Feb 19, 2008 by james from sparks

Overall Rating: 1
Atmosphere:[1]

• Nothing!
• Dangerous place. Felt very unsafe. Don't get too drunk and watch your butt for the bouncers!

“This is a very scary hole in the wall bar. Every time that we go there, it ends up with fights inside with the personal/bouncers acting as if they were "roadhouse" people. The bouncer were drinking. Not a safe place for locals or tourist!”

Palais De Jade Inc
Feb 14, 2008 by Bob from Reno

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[9] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Good food.
• Despicable management.

“We have eaten at the Palais de Jade before and found the food excellent and the service adequate. The day before Valentines Day my wife called to order the Chinese Treasure Mandarin Peking Duck (24 hours advance notice) for dinner on the following day. They very rude employee who answered the phone told her It's a holiday and our cooks will be busy and we will not prepare the dish you are requesting. She then asked if he would please check for her and call her back. The Palais de Jade owner called back and my wife asked him why they would not honor our request when they had 24 hours advance notice. He replied we are not going to please just one customer and displease ten others. He then told my wife she was stupid if she couldn't understand how busy they were and my wife asked why they didn't say on the menu that they wouldn't prepare certain dishes on holidays. He then screamed I won't permit you to enter my restaurant and hung up on her.”

Super Burrito
Feb 1, 2008 by Christina

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[9] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[3]

• A good value - 2 Super Burritos for under $10 full tummies.
• Kind of like fast food as far as restaurant.

“If you want good food fairly fast with big portions head to Super Burrito. I usually get the Chicken Super Burrito and have yet to finish the whole thing!”

Palais De Jade Inc

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[2] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Nice looking place.
• Bad food bad service.

“I have been to this place a few times and its always the same, typical Americanized Chinese food and noisy place. The lady that manages the place is very disrespectful if her employees and is a real slave driver, she always has a real mean look on her face. Service is like they don't care, but with a boss like that, maybe thats why. Much better real Chinese food can be found just across the street at Szechwan garden. Looks like a small hole in the wall place but the food is terrific and real Chinese, they actual have a special menu for the real Chinese food.”

Szechuan Gardens
Nov 9, 2007 by kimberly from reno

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Good prices.
• Real menu is in Chinese.

“I like to come here because I can get real Chinese food here, not that deep fried meat candy covered in sweet gloppy sauce that moose Americans see as Chinese food. Get the Chinese specials, like lion's head meatballs or the whole steamed fish cod with gingers and scallions or clay pot specials. The place has been there for 20 years and is one of the few places to get real Chinese food, not the junk served at pf changs. There is nothing sweet and sour in Chinese food, just American dumbed down Chinese food.”

Nik-N-Willies Pizza & Deli
Oct 27, 2007 by Stan from San Francisco/Reno

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Fantastic pizzas, meatball subs, salads, staff and sandwiches.
• Outside seating is great exception in windy NV afternoons.

“Great pizza place has its own style. Not New York, yet not Chicago, but extremely tasty. Friendly staff and manager who runs a family friendly place where you can take the kids after a ballgame. Or you can catch a game and a beer there. And Im pretty sure they a have a reasonably priced pizza buffet thing on Tuesdays. I grew up next to this pizza place after moving from SF and I love this place. The only reason it's an 8 on atmosphere is because it's not all super screen ridden, with flashy gambling devices or anything. But, that is what's cool about the place they have just enough room to make excellent pizza and serve it to you very comfortably. Average priced pizza I guess, but that's alright, because it's well worth it.”

Lulous Restaurant & Bar
Oct 1, 2007 by Neil from Weed CA

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[10] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Fabulous food.
• Outrageous cartage charge.

“The food was innovative and fabulous, by far some of the best we've had! The ambience was trendy but subtle. The presentation was top notch--including the table ware. The service was quiet, polite and efficient. Prices were high but worth it--figure $60 per person plus drinks, tax and tip. This place could compete with the best of Napa Valley, San Francisco, or Las Vegas-except for a major flaw--the attitude toward wine. The corkage is an outrageous $30. The wine list is mediocre and several wines were available in the $30 range!! The waiters, though really pleasant and competent in food service, didn't know how to pour.”

Louis Basque Corner Inc
Sep 23, 2007 by Linda from Las Vegas, NV

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Great bar, food, and pecan punches.
• Waitresses can sometimes be ornery.

“I've been going to Louie's since I was a college student at Nevada (1970). Since I left Reno in 1974, every trip back I try to fit in dinner at Louie's. The atmosphere hasn't changed. Friendly - Basque dining is a great way to make new friends. The best pecan punches and you can't beat a platter of Basque Steak and fries! The waitresses can sometimes be a bit ornery, but at Louie's that seems to just add to the atmosphere and charm. Fun bar to settle in either before or after dinner!”

Pneumatic Diner

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Everything!
• It's small so there tends to be a wait.

“Its one of that hole in the wall places that locals only know about. I really do love there food, but you have to have somewhat of an artsy vibe truly dig the place. Over all great food, great atmosphere, good music.”

Silver Legacy Resort Casino
May 25, 2007 by E from Yuba City, CA

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[7] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Good value for you money.
• Hit or miss service.

“The Sweetwater cafe is a fairly good restaurant for the money you pay. They have a steak and lobster special that is a great deal as well as other specials. Every time we come to Reno we usually stay at sly or Eldora do and we eat breakfast there. The service is a hit or misses. Either you have a great server or a not so great one (not terrible, just not anything to talk about).”

Bertha Miranda's Mexican Restaurant
May 18, 2007 by Aumbie from Carpinteria, CA

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Great atmosphere with glass ceilings. Homemade authentic food.
• There is no another location on So Cal.

“Ask for "the cave." It is a private little table that is hidden a few steps above the rest of the main dinning area. Very cool old house that was converted into a restaurant. They also have a great patio with its own bar out back. They have live music on the weekends that is festive and super fun. Homemade chips are crispy and good. They also serve home made flour tortillas. Totally recommend the cartinas plate. So tender and juicy. Waitress can be found floating from table to table chatting with the customers and thanking them for the business. I love eating here. There is a great spirit in the restaurant. Nice to walk the Truckkee River after a big dinner there. The river has paths all along it. ”

King Buffet
May 15, 2007 by John from Reno

Overall Rating: 6
Food:[8] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Food choices, cafeteria style for a quick meal.
• Without a doubt, the staff are rude and indifferent.

“The staff (especially the cashier and hostess) are the most indifferent, uninterested group I have encountered. I have never seen one smile from anyone employed there, and the tall cashier girl borders on plain rude. If it wasn't for the acceptable assortment of food and the quickness of dining in a short time, I'd never patronize the place due to the people who don't seem to care if you ever show up again.”

• Clean. reasonable prices for quality food.
• Bar noise from adjoining room if you are not in a cabin.

“If you want a great meal, this is the place to go. If you are in a party of four or less, phone ahead and ask for a "cabin." You will get a private table with tall walls around it. You'll love the privacy. Stay as long as you desire they won't rush you.”

Cantina Los Tres Hombres Inc

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[1] • Service:[5] • Atmosphere:[4]

• The place was extremely clean.
• Not busy but took a long time to get the meals. Had to go find the waitress to get our check.

“On Sunday, Feb. 25 2007 at 4:00pm -- We ordered a combination platter of two chili Relonos rice and beans. The food looked great on the platter. An enormous serving. We were impressed. Unfortunately, it was tasteless. There was no flavor. If you boiled rice and sprinkled it with orange food coloring you had have the same thing. If you boiled beans and mashed them in the water it would be exactly like their beans. The chili relenos were probably boiled and not drained since they were watery, too. Someone needs to check on the cooks -- your restaurant would not last much longer if you do not change things.”

Nugget Diner

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[10]

• A fun take you back kind of place.
• If you have a uppity attitude. Don't go.

“"The Biggest Little Casino In The World". The awful burger is great, big burger and a pound of fries. When you walk in you probably won't find a seat but order at the counter any way. By the time your food comes some one will have left and you can eat. This place isn't fancy but the hangover omelet is a cure, okay maybe it's the Best Bloody Mary in town that cures the party from your head or just starts a new one.”

Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Great tasting food. Limited wine list. My server was attentive without being smothering. Fun place. A bright gem of a restaurant just under the radar.
• Say nothing loud talkers. People who use cell phones at their table. People who don't tip 16-20%.

“Fantastic food! Great staff! I love eating at La Vecchia, except for that one Italian pop song that goes "Run baby run baby run baby run". ”

Buenos Grill

Food:[2] • Service:[5] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Nice atmosphere.
• Tough, tasteless meat.

“They specialize in fish tacos, so if that's not your thing - and it's not mine - you will be disappointed as I was. I had a chicken quesadilla. The chicken was very tough and dry and had no flavor. My friend had sirloin steak burrito. The steak pieces in the burrito were huge (not burrito-friendly), and looked and tasted as though they had been boiled for a long time.”

• Great menu.
• Restaurants modern atmosphere.

“Lulus was recommended 3 years ago by a Casino Host. When in Reno it is a must. The menu is varied and never boring. They have great bartenders who mix wonderful cocktails. There is not a restaurant anywhere in Reno which can compare. It is not a restaurant for someone who wants the everyday steak and lobster, but for patrons who want to tantalize their mouths. ”

• Great food, great atmosphere, cool people.
• Atmosphere can be a little too "relaxed".

“For anyone to fully experience Reno, they MUST check out the pneumatic diner. It is a very funky little place, when it comes to "atmosphere" few rival the pneumatic Diner. They have a variety of strange and wonderful foods, many vegetarian or vegan. If you are looking for good priced, healthy and delicious food with an unusual atmosphere, give the Pneumatic Diner a try.”

“I am from Reno, and one of my favorite memories is going to the "Little" Nugget diner (the other Nugget is John Ascuaga's) and eating an Awful-Awful, with some ranch dressing on the side!! Now, whenever I am able to make it up to Reno, the visit won't be complete without me having an Awful-Awful. Best burger period!! And the rest of the menu is great too!!”

“Great home made tortillas. The margaritas are not for the weak, so be prepared to have a good time. Chorizo and eggs are fantastic. Not far from downtown, yes you can walk. More of a locals place, which is much better than the tourist traps.”

Food:[1] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[3]

• Location is convenient.
• Food.

“Last week I ordered an old fashioned hamburger without cheese (no fries), and a side salad with iced tea. What I got was: a hamburger patty (at least I think it was) - on a dry bun - which means no mayo, mustard, catsup, anything! (thank God for the salad) and an iced tea that must have been two weeks old. What a waste of money. As bad as the Beef Burrito that tasted like Mom's pot roast. Not the first bad experience there, will never go again!”

“We were very excited to visit this restaurant, but were very disappointed in what we got. The food was served on "hot" plates, but cooled down very quickly and was cold before we finished eating. The pitcher of Margarita's had very little ice in it, and the salsa was weak. We left wishing we had gone somewhere else. ”
