It's the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and finally I have so time off from my hectic job and the weather is good for traveling, so I'm up here in the Tahoe/Minden visiting my friends. Usually my friends cook a Thanksgiving turkey dinner thing, but this year I guess they were tired of cooking and cleaning, so we decided to just go out to dinner. There were buffet choices, like a $40 per person at the Fandango, but that seemed like more than we wanted to deal with. We saw that Bodine's located just a little ways away, had a Thanksgiving Day dinner special for just $16.99, including all the normal trimmings and dessert of pumpkin pie! We got there early, a little before the start time of 11 am for the Turkey dinner. Parking was easy in the underground lot and we got a nice booth seat, no prob. Glad we got there early as the place started to fill up right after 11am! We all got the Turkey dinner special as well as several glasses of wine. Wow, the house Merlot is just $3.00 a glass, I might as well have 3 at that price! The kitchen was a little backed up I think, cause the dinners didn't come out till 20 minutes after 11am. Ours was one of the first to be served, so it wasn't like our order was messed up or anything. The place was full and the food was flowing out of the kitchen. No salad was included, but no biggie. The platter of food had big slices of turkey, seasoned yams, veggies and mashed potatoes as well as cranberry sauce. Everything tasted very good, even the yams and I'm not usually a fan of yams! The only weak part was the veggies, just generic over steamed stuff. The turkey breast meat so sooo tender, just cut it with a fork! The pumpkin pie was served at the end. We all thought this was a great idea to come here for Thanksgiving and the price was sure right and NO cooking or cleaning! I've never been to this Bodine's restaurant, but now I'll come back! read more

I ordered the breakfast burrito. Small, skimpy and surely not worth the price. Just plain terrible. We come here every Sunday morning for breakfast. Never ordering this piece of crap again. It was always larger and included salsa and sour cream. Hardly anything in it. Very little eggs, beans and sausage. First time I have been disappointed with their food. Service? Great! Noah was our waiter and he always does a great job! Ambiance? It's okay. Well located for shopping etc. read more

The meals here are a steal! Fridays and Saturdays they offer a prime rib dinner after 4pm. Not the best cut of meat (parts were tough and chewy), but you can't really complain at the bargain basement price of $16.99 for an 8oz'er which included veggies, baked potato and your choice of a soup or salad. We got the clam chowder which was very good. A solid meal. I ordered the fish and chips ($11.99). The 3 pieces of fried fish were on point. The fries were boring. They did have all the condiments though! Lemon, malt vinegar, and tartar sauce. Service was fine. Our busser was a lot more friendly and on it than our server. read more

Time for trying Bodines chicken fried steak, well I can tell you the eggs were good, that was the breadiess chicken fried steak I've had so far. Guess I won't be ordering their chicken fried steak again. I also would prefer a more peppery gravy. The biscuit was nice but I never was a hockey puck fan no matter how good it is. The seafood was pretty good I guess, it was okay. The serving staff however were fantastic, they took my order promptly and got my food out to me in a very timely manner and very attentive for any needs I may have wanted. read more

Went for lunch on a Tuesday and it was pretty crowded, but got seat right a way. Had the potato skins and taco salad with shredded chicken. They were both good, not great. Also ordered a Kettle One Martini with lemon twist, but got a house vodka instead. But the price was good. Service was a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry so it was fine! Overall, it's worth going! read more

We hadn't been to Bodine's in a while, but it is usually decent if not good. Last night was not so much. My mom and I both ordered the 8 oz NY Strip steaks. Our salads were good, fresh lettuce so that was a good start. I was happy when the steak came out because it looked pretty good. But then I tried to cut into it. So so tough! I felt like I was using a plastic knife. I managed to get a little piece off and it was gristly, I tried a couple more times from different parts of the steak but after my third bite I gave up. My mom's was just as bad, I think she managed to saw off two tiny pieces. No one came back to check on us until we were done. We both ate our baked potatoes instead, luckily they were large and well cooked. When our waiter asked if we wanted boxes, we said no and told him how bad the steaks were. He came back with the check, and I looked at it. Full price for both meals. I guess I was expecting some kind of discount? Maybe comp one meal? But nothing. He came back and asked if the check was right and I said, I thought you might have done something about the steak. He said he tried but his manager said that they had been touched, so there was nothing he could do. I was frankly surprised they didn't offer anything, free dessert, a coupon for next time, or even just the manager coming out to talk to us. I'm being generous with two stars because the baked potatoes were good and our waiter was nice. read more

i keep hoping that this place can deliver but it does not. the breakfast meals are okay but the lunch and other meals are way below average. the one thing that is consistent is the food will be dry and basically tasteless. I have had the burgers, the turkey melt, the french dip, pasta and all of it taste it was reheated food. the taste was lacking, barely warmed up and sent out. the FF are usually lukearm and soggy either because they just precook and sit around or the oil is dirty and old. One good decision was to get rid of the beef stroganoff. that was the worst meal ever. not worth the trip. and the service is hit or miss....prices are low but you get what you pay for... read more

I've been a customer of Bodine's for 11 years at this point and have always been impressed. I have brought friends, family, and clients here with excellent service and good food. This time was unfortunately different. Everyone at my table rated their food as a 7/10 due to either lacking flavor or being overcooked. I ordered the 12 ounce New York steak medium rare and even specified more on the rare side. It was more medium to medium well done. No big deal--mistakes happen. I asked our awesome server Sebastian to please have it remade. Next thing I know, the manager Naomi came out with a very snappy attitude at me saying "that is the definition of medium rare, but I can have them remake it." I apologized and said I would really appreciate it. The next steak they bring out is notably smaller than the first one so I took a picture of it to prove how small it is and asked the server to please correct the bill to reflect the smaller steak. Then I cut into it AND IT WAS EVEN MORE COOKED THAN THE FIRST and the vegetables were so cooked that they were shriveling up looking almost dehydrated on the surface. I told them it's fine, I'm not going to ask to have it remade because the rest of my party is half done eating. When the bill came it was not corrected and the manager came out saying "I hear you're upset about the price?" And I said "not really upset. It's just that although the first steak came out as a 12 oz. The second was 8." She said that she personally watched them pull it out of the 12 oz. Section and that steaks do shrink as they're cooked. I don't understand how two 12 oz steaks could shrink so differently in both thickness and width. I wish I had taken a picture of the first steak to compare. Please note the steak temperature guide attached in comparison to my actual steak. Not sure what her definition is of medium rare, but that is NOT "the definition of medium rare". I won't be back for a very long time if at all. read more

This place inside Bodines Casino has some of the better casino food in my opinion. This plate is on their $7.99 menu as well as about 5 other choices. I was expecting some prefab reshaped chicken patty for the price. Not at all. It was the most moist juiciest chicken breast I've had in a long time to the point i cut it with my fork. Mashed potatoes were delicious as were all the steamed veggies. The resraurant if your lucky to get into the back section is all windows so you get to see the beautful scenery outside. Mountain views are breathtaking to say the least. Our waitress was Cristina and she was the sweetest ever. On top of everything. Water was always full as was coffee and she was as pleasant as can be. It was dinner time and the place was packed, but service did not lack at all. Oh their pizzas are pretty yummy too. read more

Super slow service, waited for 10 minutes just to see our server!! Servers seem like they're in slow motion, not really caring about service. When the food finally arrived 20 minutes after ordering, there was no butter or jelly for the toast and biscuit, took 8 minutes for someone to bring after asking 2 people! Didn't s tasted ok nothing great!! We will not be back. If you're ok with slow meh service go ahead and check them out read more

For some reason I just had fish and chips on my mind and with the weather so hot, Bodines was the place to go! With the underground parking, the car stays way cooler than parked in the blazing sun outside. I'd never had the fish and chips here before, but plenty of other menu items, from prime rib to pizza. The price of the fish and chips here is a lot lower than most restaurants charge these days for fish and chips, just $10.99. The fish and chips comes served in a basket with 3 deep fried pieces of what I think is cod on top of a bed of fries (chips). The order comes out fairly quickly. The food is very hot and the fish is very good. The outside is crispy and inside flaky as it should be. Doused with malt vinegar and salt it's wonderful. Maybe not as good as what's in London, but for Carson City a good choice if fish and chips is what you're looking for. Now I have another item on the list that Bodine's serves well. read more

Four of us just did not want to cook or clean up for Thanksgiving. Well, the only restaurants open on this holiday are in the casinos. I chose this one for the photos of prime rib and the reviews. A short 20 minute wait for a table. Then found out prime rib is only on the weekend. Oh well. They have six choices of dinners for only $7.99. Awesome price. We each got something different. One was the regular Turkey dinner, there was also a special Turkey dinner with more stuff but the extras were not needed. Looked good with four slabs of white meat Turkey smothered in gravy, mashed potatoes with gravy looked good too. Pork chops looked not so great, the veggies had no flair. Chicken enchiladas with rice and beans came with a pico de gallo, but it had jalapeños so I only tried Rays enchilada which was a bit bland without the pico. My plate was spaghetti and meatballs. I've never had spaghetti and meatballs on thanksgiving and guess what. They were yummy! The sauce was very nice. Our server, Guadalupe was very attentive, maybe even too fast, but given the number of people wanting to eat here this afternoon/early evening, she was just keeping the pace up. We were never left wanting for an iced tea refill. So, here is the reason for the review! The desserts!!! One of us had creme brûlée that sounded quite good but Ray and I shared the bread pudding!!! The scent was so reminiscent of the Dickens Fair over at the Cow Palace in Daly City, that eating it took me to merry olde London. It was super yummy!!! Moral of the story here. I heartily recommend the bread pudding at any time! I was not looking for Turkey. Might have done a French dip but we chatted so much before ordering I had not decided so made a snap judgment and was pleased. read more

The service was prompt and efficient. Sorry to say the bacon cheeseburger was not good. Meat was poor, a grisle-burger. Fries were not crispy, soggy. The wedge salad was barely ok. A bit water-logged. Clam chowder was barely warm. Still hungry! Won't be going back here. read more

We eat here fairly regularly. But the last few times have been quite the disappointment. From poor servers - takes forever to get their attention, asked for a little more salad dressing and never got it, completely forgot about us. To not clearing salad plates or soup bowls when main course came, to them trying to find somewhere to put our check and rushing off before we could ask for dessert. The food has changed drastically. They have started using "Kraft" salad dressing (blue cheese is awful). They used to have the best blue cheese. Their prime rib is heated WAY too long in the au just. Tasted more like a boiled prime rib. The horseradish was something terrible, containing "mustard" and very little horseradish. The green onions in it were fine. But mustard? That's like putting ketchup on a Prime Grade A steak. Way to bougie for my taste. The addition of the salted baked potato was rather pleasant, and good. read more

I go from Reno to Carson often and we eat out while there. We came this time for the turkey dinner. I love a good turkey dinner and search it out often. We came in and I asked for a window seat because we love the views and also because the inner tables are dark. Harder to read the menu or enjoy seeing what I am eating. We were taken by the waiter to a seat in the middle by a window and found out the blinds did not block out the sun enough. It is pretty intense so I notified the server and asked if we could sit in back by the windows. He told us know he was the only one working the floor at 3pm and yet we saw another person working the back section. So I dealt with it but they should teach their servers to help their customers if they want them back. I did not get a photo of the turkey dinner but the plate looks bland without veggies on it. We ordered the Chicken Curry Soup and it was great (extra charge, cup is tiny). Turkey was good, mashed potatoes were rich, and stuffing was dry. read more

The parking lot is nice, especially if you have a long vehicle. They also have a parking garage. It's in a casino so it smells like an ashtray when you first enter but the restaurant is unaffected by this. I ordered the meat lovers burrito and it wasn't great. It lacked seasoning. The toast sucked... It was like heated bread that wasn't even brown. The hashbrowns were more like mashed potatoes. The pancake tasted like cornmeal or uncooked. Sausages were okay. The French toast was also not great. Syrup wasn't overly sweet and the meal was served with crummy butter... Maybe it was margarine. The service was basically nonexistent. It's also super loud. Wouldnt reccomend, just save the money and go to McDonald's. read more

We had an excellent breakfast here yesterday. We arrived shortly before 10am, on a Saturday, and got right in. (By 10am the tables were full and there was a wait. So word to the wise, get there early.) Our waiter, Brandon, was amazing! Fast, friendly and super helpful, he assisted us with getting the best deals for what we wanted to eat and he even got us a menu item that is no longer on the menu. We were all impressed with Brandon and hope to return to his section soon. The food was delicious, the bottomless coffee was hot and we had a great meal. Many thanks to Bodine's and to Brandon. A tasty breakfast, for a good price, with excellent service. We'll definitely be back. read more

It's been a couple of years and lots of travel, but we find ourselves back at Bodines. Pandemic has altered a few things. For instance, The Cowboy Steak was removed from the $7.99 menu and re-listed for $10.99. Olivia was very fast and efficient. Great service! The food has always been a great value. It eats good, too.

So...you gotta get through the smokey casino ..but once in the restaurant the smoke seems to disappear. Then sit down in a big comfy booth and receive great service and good food at an amazing price. We got out of here for just 30 dollars enjoying a very nice salmon and baked potato with over steamed veggies...and yummy Cajun type chicken Alfredo AND a beer. Oh...and a salad!

Not a very good experience. Went for lunch with five people it took us two hours from check in to check out from eating. The cheeseburger lacked flavor, small and fries were cold.

I had to try the Teriyaki Chicken with white rice & vegetables because I've been craving Yoshinoya from L.A. Well...the chicken was very dry and overcooked, the rice had hard uncooked grains throughout it, & the vegetables had seen better days. The dinner did come with a side salad (not shown) and it was good with the extra honey mustard dressing I ordered with it. The Asian waitress named Nan was nice and had given me extra teriyaki sauce...which wasn't enough for the dry chicken sections I had. The portions were generous though and the price very good...especially with the coupon a cook from another restaurant had given me to use. I have eaten at this restaurant before and had some other decent meals. The restaurant ambience is nice and the people are as well. I would come again. read more

The view from the diner is great. It was snowing and evening time so it just heightened the scene. The food is okay. Nothing amazing but better than some of the other casino diners in the area. The pizza is big and full of toppings. Steak was good. Their vegetable medley is the usual frozen package. They have a 7.99 menu which is nice. Prime rib on the weekends for a decent price. They were understaffed the day we went. The waitress was nice but not very attentive which is understandable since I think it was only two waitress for the entire restaurant that I noticed. read more
