    Here it is again, DJ Trivia and Taco Tuesday at Bighorn Tavern. It is a great place to be for a fun time and good food. The new seasonal menu is available at times. Today there are meatballs, blackened chicken caprese salad, fish or shrimp tacos, etc. The staff is friendly, professional and proficient.

    Good place for a casual hangout with indoor and outdoor service. The service is friendly and they have a good beer selection as well as alcoholic and non alcoholic selections.

    Bighorn Clubhouse

    Staff were friendly and we were quick to be seated. The casual corner hangout was just what we were looking for. I had the Bighorn Clubhouse sandwich and my husband had the seasonal special pesto chicken sandwich. The clubhouse, even with the mayo, was in desperate need of more sauce, but the pesto chicken was tasty. Sadly, we were looking forward to the fresh cut fries but they were forgotten in the fryer and burnt all around. I look forward to my next visit with hopefully a better food showing.

    First time at this location and it was cool! Watched some basketball and had some yummy tacos. They made them super plain for me and they were perfect. The chicken in them was very good. I also really liked my strawberry mule mocktail. I didn't really love my raspberry lemon drop it was a bit strong for my taste. The fries also needed to be salty in my opinion. I like the vibes and we will be back this weekend for more March madness final 4. I'd actually really like to try brunch too. Nice outdoor patio but no TVs.

    I like Bighorn Tavern. My favorite thing to order is the El Pastore burger. But come on guys, turn the volume on for your TV sports games. We wanna get rowdy!

    Visited this location for dinner and were sat immediately, even with them being packed! Our server, Bobby was really helpful in how we should order our elk burger and he took care of us promptly. We started out with the deviled eggs and wrapped up with the elk burger. I really enjoyed the deviled eggs (total of 4). The filling has jalapeño mixed In and topped with bacon. Delish! The burger was cooked perfectly and the fries on the side were piping hot. I did feel like the burger lacked a zing but other than that, it was great in terms of freshness and uniqueness. Their ranch is also amazing. A great family friendly place with wonderful ambiance and warm decor to grab a bite of food that's more than bar food and catch a game. Can't wait to come back!

    Good food, top notch service and a cool vibe. Our server Bobby was very helpful and offered advice on our meal. Thanks Bobby. Elk burger was good, but definitely want to try their other burger options. The jalapeño deviled eggs were a great way to start. Those eggs had a little fire, not too much, but noticeable and enjoyable. The bacon topping was spot on. No need to overload you with details. You walk in, get seated and have a drink in front of you pronto. Solid food menu and plenty of libation options. Would return.

    Pork hash
    Paige B.

    Have to come back with the hubby! I didn't even know of this place, so I'd consider this a good find. This visit was more social with a side if breakfast, and our server totally got that. She had us with drinks right away and gave us plenty of time to look at the menu and chat. Very casual vibe, with a bar present to sit at for food or drinks. Nothing fancy so, as you are. Breakfast tacos - I wanted the chorizo tacos, but they were out!! Must be really good! So I went woth bacon, extra crispy pleaese! The tacos were really good. The tortillas were just the right amount of crisp like they'd been toasted. The green salsa was so good: a little spice, a little tang, and just a perfect topper for those tacos. The pork hash was just amazing. I will be going back just for that dish. I didn't know what to expect, and now I know it will be a flavor bomb every time. The pork is fork, tender, left in larger chunks for a big bite or you can break it apart and make a different bite with a potato or an onion. I don't really know how to describe the flavor, it was just amazing. It had a little bit of sweet, a lot of savory, a good amount of tang. It was just simply what I would consider a perfect example of umami.

    Mozzarella bites and a healthy side of marinara dipping sauce.
    Robbin S.

    We loved the vibe of this place and their food was delicious! We got the scotch egg and mozzarella bites. It was plenty and their portions are generous. The scotch egg was one of the best we've ever had with a nice thick layer of seasoned sausage. We went to the bar after dining and Josh ‍ took excellent care of us. He was busy and attentive. He's very good at his job and we are planning to come back again before we leave and try other menu items. Definitely worth a visit!!

    Lamb Burger

    Very nice first time. Great food and the servers were amazing. I will return with my husband. Cozy and friendly.

    Rustic bar/restaurant with good food and full bar. Can get a bit noisy in the evening but a friendly atmosphere. We were able to get a table for eight with little problem. Family friendly.

    Happy hour; 2-6pm. Spinach artichoke dip, teriyaki pulled pork sliders, & carne street tacos. Only $15!
    Kendra J.

    One of the best happy hour spots in Reno, hands down! Lots of options for yums. It was Taco Tuesday when we went, so the special was two tacos and a beer for $12, in addition to the regular 2pm to 6pm happy hour special where you can choose three "snacks" for a total of $15. And by "snacks," they're really more like hearty appetizers... and there are A LOT to choose from! We actually had a hard time deciding what we wanted... and then were given even more options! For example, one item of the three we ordered was pulled pork sliders - we were then given the choice of teriyaki or BBQ sauces. I don't know anywhere else in town where you can actually customize your happy hour food! We ended up choosing carne asada street tacos, teriyaki pulled pork sliders, and spinach-artichoke dip; see photo. The tacos were delicious and authentic street style. The sliders were hearty and delicious. And the spinach-artichoke dip was absolutely fantastic. (I make my own dip at home that I love and this was shockingly similar; couldn't stop eating it!). Btw the two of us, we still couldn't finish our happy hour meal; substantial, for sure, and a great value. Our server/bartender was Mikayla and she was WONDERFUL! She was finishing up a heavy lunch rush and was wrapping up her shift, but still made sure she took care of us from the beginning to the end of our meal. Mikayla was bright, shiny, happy, and took time to explain all the happy hour options; she's a valuable employee for sure! This was my third visit to the Lakeside location, but my first time ordering from the happy hour special, and I'm looking fwd to going back very, very soon!

    Meatballs and fries
    Mark P.

    We had a great time at the Bighorn Tavern last Father's Day, tried the meatballs and fries they were both truly delicious, service was fast and friendly loved the lodge type vibe with the open beam ceiling. We are definitely coming back!

    Wow. If you find yourself in Reno, jonesing for a burger, Archie's is the place to go. We aren't…read moreresidents, but come up the hill a few times a year for various events. Until this 4th of July weekend (250/2026) we had never heard of Archie's. It was recommended to us and we stopped in on Sunday the 5th for lunch on our way out of town. What an amazing choice. I ordered their bacon cheese burger. Guess what? It was GIANT. It was delicious. It was perfect. Comes with fries but I got onion rings. The onion rings were perfect too. Largest order of rings I have ever seen. The burger (1/2 Lb I think!!) had nice thick bacon in every bite, two large and fresh slices of tomato, a big old slab of an onion slice, mayo and lettuce. I can't remember if there were pickles. It was the best burger and onion rings I have eaten in at least ten years, maybe 20. We will be back, EVERY time we are in town from now on. I can't recommend this place enough. Special shout out to David, our server. This guy made no mistakes. Laughed at all my stupid dad jokes, was attentive, patient while my companions changed their minds 36 times, and was friendly too. Says it was only his 2nd day on the job, but I wish he had been working for us at our restaurant (Hokkaido Noodle House) in Sacramento. He is a pro already, give him reasons to keep working for you boss. Don't worry, we won't steal him from you, we are retired and closed our joint 10 years ago. Rock on Archie's! You have earned a few new fans today.

    I went here on Sunday mid afternoon before Memorial Day so I assume many students had left town so…read morethe place was pretty empty (so service was excellent.) Was surprised it had a second floor with a small deck and pretty decent views! Big place. Great Happy Hour Deals (half off drinks) and other specials. I haven't eaten breakfast there but the burger I'd put in the top 4 in Reno. It is giant diameter wise but the meat is the same amount of a smaller thicker burger which makes it no too hard to eat. I'd call this a Purist's Burger. Crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, sauce. They went really light on the sauce to the point I didn't think it had any. Fries were excellent too. Price is very reasonable (that's typical near a college.) I've tried Royce, Juicy's, and The Parlor. I'd put Archies below Royce and Parlor but above Juicy's. Two left on my list are Armando & Son's Butcher Shop and of course Beefy's.

    My sister was really looking forward to a visit @ Pine State Biscuits. With a 4+ star rating and…read moreover 1500 reviews, this place can't miss. Right??? Our family of 8 arrived here to a line that only continued to build. The line exited the building and began to wrap alongside the building. Seating here is first come first serve and are only designated by staff. Saving tables and sitting down prior to placing an order is a big no-no. BUT!! That didn't stop others from doing this anyhow. Let me start off by saying how chaotic this place is. This began from the initial line up to order and continued throughout the meal. Staff seemed flustered, overwhelmed, and moody. I'm not sure if the vibe of our visit would be considered "normal" to the staff and regulars but from my perspective looking in, it just seemed uncomfortably unorganized. As a forewarning to those who have never visited this establishment before, do your research and try to decide on what you would like to order prior to reaching the register area. Being prepared assists in quicker lines and you avoid looks of annoyance overall. Our family ordered a bunch of stuff: *THE REGGIE- hold the cheese & gravy *BLUEBERRY CORNMEAL PANCAKE - single *CORNMEAL PANCAKE- single *BUILD YOUR OWN BISCUIT - bacon, sausage, egg *Side order of EGG *Side order of BACON x2 *CHICKEN FRIED STEAK PLATE w/ BISCUIT *HASH BROWN, 2EGGS, + BACON *THE MONEYBALL *BEIGNETS Food came out at all different times. It was just unfortunate how one child in particular's meal came out at the very end when everyone was pretty much done with eating. The female staffer who brought over the dishes dropped plates on the table before scurrying off. At first I thought it was just a random occurrence but when it consistently happened, there was no way to justify that kind of service. Food was doable. The whole hype over Pine State Biscuits was simply that- JUST HYPE. The dining experience overall and vibe of the eatery was just not my scene. Kudos to those who genuinely enjoy the establishment but I'm gonna have to pass. I wouldn't openly waste my time or calories here.

I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and, after taking a bite, realized I had forgotten to specify gluten-free bread. That part was absolutely my mistake, and I immediately acknowledged that when I spoke with our server. What surprised me was when the manager came over and explained that they couldn't waste the sandwich and offered to discount it if I purchased another one made with gluten-free bread. I understand food costs and that the original ordering mistake was mine, but the interaction felt unnecessarily uncomfortable over what was essentially a bread substitution on a grilled cheese. I ultimately told them not to remake it and just ate the inside of the sandwich. I wasn't expecting special treatment, but I would have appreciated a little more graciousness and customer service in how the situation was handled, especially as a first-time customer. The restaurant is clearly very popular, and I wanted to love my experience. Unfortunately, this interaction left me disappointed.
