    There menu is simple which I like and there are many things that I would love to eat  .

    So far the service is great all smiles and came and seated us right away. Nice staff and super sweet waitress Katie. She said she just started ,but she is great!! Our meal came out rather quickly and it's taste delicious , we also ordered pudding cake to go ,I'll be too stuffed to eat it after my meal . I decently recommend eating hear, they have breakfast as well. Great place. Great atmosphere as well .

    Excellent coffee!

    It was my first time visiting Betsy's and I couldn't have been happier!! The service was excellent, it was very clean, and the food was spectacular! I had the Chicken fried steak and eggs with biscuit. It was absolutely perfect! I was actually very happy that the gravy came on the side without me asking. I don't mind either way, smothered or not, but this was nice because my chicken fried steak remained crispy. The coffee was also incredible and made it to my top favorite coffee list. If I can drink it black, then I know for sure that it's great coffee. It's not very often that I get to visit Carson city, but I will make sure to visit Betsy's every chance I get. Thank you to the hardworking staff, you're amazing

    the 12 oz NY steak
    Robbie R.

    We were headed back towards Lake Tahoe from a work assignment out by the Gigafactory and passing thru Carson City from the east. Food was on our minds as there's not many food choices before you get to Carson City. I saw good reviews of this Betsy's Big Kitchen located inside the Slot World casino. We were seated at a nice booth by the windows. Looking over the menu, I saw steaks and prime rib on offer as this was a Friday for the prime rib. We went for the most expensive options on the menu ... yeah since this is on the expense account! We ordered the 12 oz. New York steak as well as the 12 oz prime rib, both served with baked potato and veggies along with soup or salad. Both priced at $18.99. Friday is always clam chowder for the soup. By the time we finish our soup and salad, the entrees arrive. Wow, that prime rib looks good! Glad I ordered the big 12 oz cut vs. the smaller 8 oz. cut. Ordered medium doneness and that's what arrived. The NY steak was cooked as ordered as well, med rare. The baked potatoes were cut and stuffed with whipped butter and chives .... actually green onions. OK, my first cut into the prime rib, I could tell it was gonna be nice and tender the way my knife cut through. The flavor was pretty good for a casino special and for the price. A higher end prime rib this size would set you back around $45.00 at a steakhouse. The NY steak wasn't as tender as my friend had hoped, tho cooked med rare perfectly. I think it's just the cut of meat. He said next time he's getting the prime rib like I had. Overall, I'm glad we stopped in here and if I'm out on Highway 50 again, I'll stop here for any meal. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. OK, now off to Lake Tahoe for a relaxing weekend before heading back home next week.

    Weirdest looking fish and chips!

    My last review was about a year ago and things have gotten worse since then. The staff has had changes and the management people have too. I watch the operation from my table and can see things are not running tight like before when Krys was manager. Now she's over at Bodine's and that place runs right. It just seems like the people working here don't have their hearts into the job, like just get it done, it's a paycheck. Each section has no idea what's going on between front and back of house. The food .. I ordered fish and chips and it was the strangest looking fish that I've ever seen. The shape was smooth like it was fried potato slices, but it wasn't. It was fish alright, and actually tasted OK and was very hot served, but the look was looked no other! Check out my pics to see this fish. The fries were fries, just fine. I think I'll stick to Bodine's, it's the same owner and same menu basically.

    GREAT PLACE. Nice get away from the heat. The staff is friendly and service was quick. Food was hot and tasty. Worth every penny. Definitely a good place for the family.

    Every time I eat here it has been great!!! This place is very reasonable for the price!! But have not had bad service and over the last two weeks I've been three times, hard to pass up such a great deal!!!

    Over cooked Meatball Sandwich and undercooked fries
    BchBum B.

    It seems every time we come to this place it is hit or miss with service and food. We waited almost 45 mins after we ordered our food before we received it. I had to get up from our table to ask our waitress Irma why are tables that were sat well after we were sat eating their food and we haven't received ours. And had to ask her to fill up our drinks. What is frustrating is another waitress was talking to a friend right next to our table with our empty glasses sitting in plain view. When we finally recd our food, my Turkey dinner was drenched in very salty gravy. The turkey seemed to be old, soggy and tasteless. My husband had the meatball sandwich which was over cooked and his fries under cooked. Irma never checked back with us. As much as Irma is nice she lacks the skills to be an efficient waitress. We usually request certain waiters or a waitress but unfortunately this little cafe is going down hill and is getting worse since prices went up recently.

    We sat in the patio on a cool spring evening. Poof! They turned on the giant fire pit! Yea!…read more Our party of 5 all tried different menu items. Burger, pastrami sandwich, BLTA, fish & chips, and the brisket. The Tahoe IPA beer was great. Kids all ordered soft drinks, plenty of refills offered! We all enjoyed our meals, except brisket boy. He was expecting BBQ brisket, but the plate was more of a roast beef with gravy, mashed potatoes, and veggies. Fish & chips were pretty good, with 2 nice sized chunks of cod. The sandwiches were nice, burger solid! The fries were really good, seemed like fresh cut. When I looked at what others were enjoying, we observed that the wings look to stand out. Next time we'll explore wings & fries....and more beer! Service was attentive and the patio very pleasant!

    The good: Our server was great. She was personable. But she did mislead us when describing how…read moreeverything on the menu was good. But at the same time, it would be silly to hear a server say bad things about the menu items to their guests. So, she was just doing her job. The bad - The food. Of all the things we ordered, the cheese curds were the best thing cuz...how could you go wrong with frozen items you throw in a fryer? Anyway, we also ordered the Fried Pickles. I enjoy fried pickles, but holy sh*t these were SALTY! These pickles were more like chips. They were actually light and crispy which is unusual as fried pickles are typically still soft and and keep their integrity after being fried in a batter. These, however were like, dehydrated pickles that were battered and deep fried. I really liked how crispy they were, but with how salty they were, we couldn't finish it. Chicken Pot Pie - one of the more popular dishes ordered. It looked great when presented. The top crust looked nice and thin like a cracker, but when I dug in, the filling was runnier than what I am used to. But more importantly, the flavor was off. I assume they use a frozen pie crust because it didn't taste buttery at all. It had a weird chemically taste. I missed having that rich buttery crust a pot pie should have. The filling didn't taste great either. Also, had a weird chemically taste to it. I almost think they use canned chicken based on the flavor and texture it had. I was so looking forward to a homey comforting pot pie. It's not often I get to eat one of these, but this one fell way short of my expectations. The Lamb Burger - My husband loves lamb and it's not often you see a lamb burger anywhere. He was so excited to have this, but was so disappointed after taking his first bite. He said it was so bland. I took a bite. And while it did taste of lamb, I agreed it lacked seasoning. Now, THIS needed some of the salt that were in those pickles. Lol! Foxy Fried Chicken - A panko fried chicken breast. It was good. Mashed potatoes were good and the veggies. I didn't expect this dish to be spicy though. I don't know if the cook went heavy handed on the pepper, but the veggies and mashed potatoes it was served with had a kick to them. Meh. All in all, we wouldn't return. There was nothing we had that made me feel like this place had potential and worth making another visit to. We did order quite a few things and everything, but the curds were lackluster and a disappointment.

    WOW!!! Awesome food. FIRST time dining for dinner there. Was Not expecting the HUGE portions…read more There were only 2 of us dining. We ordered 2 appetizers, 1 cocktail per person, and 2 entrees (+ a desert to go). We left with 4 to-go boxes (+ the desert box). The prices was Surprising low considering how HUGE the ​portion are. Our server, Dennys, was so on top of things. Never had to wait for extras we needed (to go boxes, etc.) more than 3-4 minutes, even tho we said it was Not urgent and just whenever there was time. The atmosphere it neat. All the decor was fascinating to look at. Could probably spend 5 hours Just looking at everything throughout the place. The only thing we were bummed about was that when orsering rhe mashed potatoes, it didn't come with gravy. That's only on Friday's when they have their meatloaf dinner. But that's okay. Potatoes were still Great. Definitely recommend Red's. Would give 10 Stars of it would let me!!!!

    We were in Carson City, Nevada, around prime dinner time. Since we were unfamiliar with the area,…read morewe Yelped to find dining options. We wanted a place that had a varied menu. I wanted a hearty hot meal in a sit down restaurant. We landed on Red's Old 395 Grill. Great choice. All right folks, once when you walk into this place. It's loud with a lot of visuals. Visual and sensory overload. Lots to look at. They have super tall vaulted ceilings. Look up and there are stage coaches, carriage buggies', and a humongous much larger than life statue of a woman flying on a broomstick. Lots to look at all around incorporated into wall art and furniture art. A lot going on but not gaudy or mismatched. It coordinated well and gave a turn of the century 1900 Wild West fun house. The interior dining tables are mostly booth seating with a step up. Which I found to be odd and precarious. So be aware. The menu is on steroids. Hefty with a bunch of options including award winning bbq. They have burgers,, sandwiches, appetizers, salads, steaks, entrees, and desserts. I ordered a ribeye, the 10 pounce petite cut. It's MidWest grain feed. Juicy and tender, really soft tender. I ordered it rare and rare I got. It was tasty. Price was good as well. $40.99. Hubs had the pulled pork sandwich. He isn't a pork fan, but he dug their pulled pork. The sauce was amazing. Yes, you bet I took a bite or two of his sandwich.

The price was very reasonable; the chicken fried steak was perfectly cooked and tender; the service was excellent, and I like the new decor.

When I heard…read morethat the awful awful burger, (awful, big, and awful good! ) is at the Carson City nugget, I wanted to get here for sometime, but I haven't. The casino itself is a simple casino that caters more toward the locals. Old, but comfortable. I can't speak for the games, because I didn't play. But it just reminded me of an old-fashioned casino that goes way back when. They changed the name of the coffee shop to the capital city Grille. They did a good job with the remodel, it's bright and fresh, and it still has that old-fashioned coffee shop vibe, Unlike the crowded space with just a few tables that was in back of the Reno casino. Also, this place is not open 24 hours, like the one in Reno was. I retired from drinking a long time ago, but I still kind of remember that 3 AM stumble into the Reno nugget diner for an awful awful. Ah, the memories... The service was good. Right off the bat, my waitress advised me that she was the only person working, yet she still got to me pretty quick. There was nothing like the original awful awful at the Reno nugget, but I would say that this burger is a worthy heir to the throne. It's more of an "upscale awful awful", but it still holds the mantle of awful big, and awful good. When you order, they ask how you want your burger cooked. I asked for medium, and that's how it came. She also offered me several different options beside the fries. For me, fries, no question. I wanted the entire experience. At the old nugget, you'd get a giant basket of fries, which I could never finish. The burger reminded me so much of the original awful awful. It was immense! With my first bite, the memories just came flooding back. Instead of an onion bun, it now comes on a brioche bun, and as I ate the burger, the bun started to disintegrate a little bit, just like it used to do in Reno. It's hard for a bun to hold up to that much burger. All of the fixings were fresh, and my "awful awful sauce", just as good as always, came on the side. That was no problem, I used part of it on the burger, and the rest of it I used as a "fry sauce" which I love. , the fries were skin on steak fries, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and absolutely delicious. I'm not sure what they seasoned them with. Somehow, I managed to finish the whole meal. It's more expensive than the original, but hey, prices for everything have gone up. The price was still very reasonable. No, this isn't the Reno awful awful, but this place has done an awful awful good job of keeping the tradition going. (See what I did there? :) I will be back. Thanks.

Ambiance: Relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with Mexican-inspired décor and cultural touches throughout the restaurant. There was a steady flow of guests, giving the place a lively but comfortable feel. Restrooms: Clean and decent, although a bit outdated. Service: Friendly but somewhat disorganized, possibly because we had a large group. The waitress initially told me the bartender was busy, but later realized she had never entered my drink order. She apologized and removed it from the bill. She also brought the wrong entrée for one of my friends but corrected it promptly. On a positive note, she graciously accommodated another friend's custom drink request even though it wasn't on the menu. Chips & Salsa: The first basket is complimentary. We were told additional baskets normally have a charge, but during our visit we were offered unlimited refills. Food: Fresh, authentic, and generously portioned. Recommended dishes: Salmon Atlántico, Fish Tacos, Artichoke Dip, Enchiladas, and Bistec.
