We experienced Cook'd for the first time, and what a wonderful experience it was! The food was absolutely fabulous. Starting with the pickled fries for a delightful appetizer of which we were certainly not disappointed. They were far superior to any we had experienced before and was definitely a must to awaken your taste buds. For the main course our party ordered the penny pasta bake, hamburger and frys, salad and barbecue chicken pizza. We were all very pleased with our various dishes. Not only was the food beautifully presented but absolutely delicious. We completed our meal with the chocolate lasagna, a real treat for the palette. Next time, i'm going to try their banana pudding, which is one of my favorite desserts. The owner of the restaurant along with the waiters and staff were all very friendly going above our expectations in making our dining experience an evening to remember. Thank you Cook'd for running a first class 5 star restaurant. Shirlyn, Sherry and Rich... read more

The waiter was very nice , good service , prompt and polite . Food was mediocre. Except the eggplant . I heard from someone that these were family recipes? I hope not . The egg plant was total shoe leather . I could not even bite into it and naw off a bite, so I didn't . I have all my teeth and want to keep them. . But I had ordered sliders and tacos . The tacos were the best of the lot . These were happy hour appetizers . I have been in the restaurant business most of my life and I am 65 now . Sorry to be harsh , but it was a total disappointment . Because I have been serving food most of my life , I also hate to complain. But the more I think about it , ya'll should fix it . I was trying to figure out what you actually did to the egg plant that made it that way? But again, service was awesome . I read rest of reviews , someone said they are opening in Reno. You should seriously get your shiz together before you try that or you may lose everything . You have many 5 star reviews, but wonder if they are friends or drinking heavily, the bad reviews are all pretty consistent . Seriously, would love to see more wonderful options in this area , would like to see you succeed . But to charge high prices and not fix what needs to be , is not good to open somewhere else . I will say I noticed little woman in the back , was kind of wondering if she was doing things properly sanitation wise . Looked a little iffy. But have noticed a couple reviews on that. Anyway, good luck. read more

I ordered a glass of wine, the bartender pulls a hot glass out of the dishwasher, fills it up, and hand me a glass that smelled and tasted like chlorinated pool water. Poor service! I then order a ranch water. He opens a can and hands it to me. That's like ordering an orange juice and getting an orange flavored capri sun. Poor quality and lazy! read more

Really is a greasy spoon. I know Pattie Mel is greasy, but this seemed extra greasy. And I wish it would be on Rye not sourdough Really slow service. Food was OK not great. Just so so. read more

Cook’d - Pattie Melt, which I really wish they would've put on Rye not - Pizza Near Me - Minden, Nevada

They are capable of making a very good pizza. Extra sauce and baked crispy is the callout that can yield their best results. Cook'd loses the plot about half the time. The result is a doughy pie with an unpredictable amount of sauce and cheese. Service is consistently good. I may migrate to their other choices in search of their consistently good entree. read more

This place is way over rated! I tried the pizza! It wasn't good. Way too greasy - smothered n low grade cheese and the crust was like rubber! Was really looking forward to this place because it was highly rated - What a disappointment. Maybe the other food is good idk. The machines do not even hit at all. Didn't even win 5 bucks put a bunch of money in! What a waste of time! Won't be back! read more

After years of wanting to have a good experience at Cook'd, David provided it. The food was good but his attentiveness, professionalism and generally kind interactions made dining an experience not just a meal. Hopefully this is a turning point for a historically "hit and miss" restaurant. read more

Had a great dinner last night. Met up with a friend and enjoyed a gin martini. For dinner we had the special, chicken with artichoke, scampi and the steak salad. Chris was our waiter and he was excellent. read more

We checked out this place for lunch one day while visiting the area. First of all, our service was perfect. Thanks, Tony, for being there for every request and elevating our visit. We were there for the lunch special that includes Tuesdays. I had the two of the local IPA's and one of them I hadn't even had since being in town for a few days. Good selection. The wife got the Zughetti with Alfredo and the soup, and I got the half Bird chicken sandwich (the one that comes with alfredo) with the tomato soup. Our dessert with the special was a local banana pudding. Food was solid. The bar area looked fun, as it was packed with some regulars event. They have video poker at the bar. LOTS of TV's if looking to watch a game. I actually loved the venue. Whether looking for a nice lunch, needing to see a game, or just wanting to go somewhere with some energy, this is a great spot to stop at. We enjoyed our lunch there. I would recommend this place, and see you there (the next time we are in the area)... read more

We went for our anniversary dinner Staff were friendly as always. Even though we had a reservation we didn't need it and were seated right away. We had the garlic chips, spicy turkey melt, and the penne bake. The garlic chips and turkey melt were on point. The Alfredo sauce was definitely the star of the bake. For having chicken and shrimp in this dish, you could blink and miss both. The dish was delicious, but when it came to the proteins there was minimal in my serving. We love coming to Cook'd and look forward to dining again! read more

One star only because the hostess was great. If not for her it would have been lower. We ordered a Caesar salad with chicken. The lettuce was not sorted nor tended to as there was lots of brown ribs and black edges that required separating. The full soon became a half order. The chicken was dry, tough, stringy, and pounded to about 1/8" thickness. Must have been an old bird. We also ordered the toasted ravioli appetizer (4 for $15!) which came very hard and overcooked. They may have been 2 or 3 days old. I could not cut through them with a steak knife. The breading was thick and tasted like bread. Not much resemblance to a good pasta shell lightly breaded. Filling tasted bland (perhaps due to the over frying. Very poor food quality and preparation. read more

The food and service was amazing. Really enjoyed the entire experience. Rachel was great. Awesome recommendations and extremely helpful and quick with anything we needed. We cannot wait to return and try more off the menu. 8/2025 read more

I ordered the Italian Fried Chicken. My first bite I had to spit out because I thought I had bitten into a huge piece of gristle. So I tried eating from different areas of the chicken , and every bite was like hard rubber. It was either undercooked or overcooked. It was inedible. I tried to content myself with the pasta, which was very good. But for $26 I thought it was at least worth mentioning it to the waiter. All I got from him was, "Oh, I'm very sorry." You would think for $26 they would at least TRY to make it right by replacing the chicken which only cost them a few dollars, but they did not. Otherwise, the service and ambiance were good. Even fast food restaurants will replace your order if it is not Cook'd correctly. This was only my second visit to Cook'd. Obviously I won't go back. Ever. read more

Looking for something new other than Mexican or Chinese. Drive by Cook'd almost every day so thought I'd give it a try. I hadn't been in that building in almost 20 years and what a great job they did on the interior. It was busy in the bar area and got a table for two along a wall adjacent to the bar which was nice and quiet. Ordered the happy hour lemon drop and calamari appetizer and both were amazing. For dinner we each ordered a small pizza. The combo and the bbq chicken. The best pizza ever and I will be back!! I now have a new place to eat, just sorry I took so long to try it out. Our server, Dave, was attentive and first class. Thanks Dave! read more

We visited Cook'd for the first time today, we stopped by because the building looked cool and we were hungry! But we will come again and again, because the service, food and drink were amazing, our waitress Jenny (might be spelling that wrong) was lovely. We laughed, she gave great recommendations, and a wonderful experience. Wonderful atmosphere as well. We look forward to going back!! Next time we intend to get more photos, if we don't scarf everything down so quickly again!! read more

I'd give a 4.3 if that was an option. Great service. First time here, much bigger than I thought. The menu options were plentiful. Lots of salad options, which is nice. Husband got chicken taco salad and he really liked it. Tender chicken, home made tortilla chips and slightly spicy dressing. I got the lettuce wrap OG burger, medium well. Good spice on burger and cooked exactly as I ordered. Fries were very good. Definitely will go back! read more

I was so happy with my catering order for a special Valentines Italian dinner for friends! The food was excellent! Bryan, owner, was amazing to work with in helping me with the menu. My family love Cookd as a regular customer - love their food and service. read more

Made reservations a week before My wife's birthday. After waiting 15 minutes we got a bar table Right next to the kitchen. I was very disappointed After having such Great experiences There for lunch with her. The service and quality At half Occupancy Was lacking to say the least. We all have a bad Thursday night, When the experience fades Will give them another chance. read more

This our go to restaurant in Minden. We never had a bad meal here or a bad experience. That hot Turkey sandwich is the bomb. And my son almost eats the entire meat lovers pizza. My husband had the Italian sausage soup, which he has never had, and said he was always going to order it. Now the service...we have always had the best and nicest service at Cook'd. The last time we had Nicole, she is just friendly and helpful and a complete joy. I love the bar area, everyone is always having fun, whether it's a game on tv or winning at the gambling. KEEP IT UP COOK'D!!! read more

Delicious food, excellent and varied drinks available not to mention courteous, excellent service provided by David.

Went to Cook'd last week for the first time and was pleasantly surprised with this establishment. The cocktails and food were excellent and the service was awesome. Our server, Kendra was polite & attentive and made our dining experience a 10. She is definitely an asset to your operation and we'll be back soon ! read more

Cook'd has great service and amazing good! Try the toasted ravioli as an appetizer and all thrust entrees are great!

We are always on the hunt for a good, juicy burger, and this is the place to go for a great burger! The menu is endless with options. It was hard to decide on which one to get. I'm a huge blue cheese fan so I went with the Tahoe burger and my boo loves burgers with an edge and the fried egg on the Hangover burger sounded enticing. This was a quick lunch stop on our way to Tahoe after meeting with friends in Gardnerville. We will definitely go back to explore more menu. Hands-down, a must visit restaurant with gaming! read more

Overpriced & very slow at getting any food served to you no matter if their slow or busy its always the same.

Service was great. However the food was not very good. I won't be eating here again! It's a shame because Gardnerville/Minden are lacking good places to eat!! read more

Great experience!! I made reservations and got there early.. while I was waiting for my table to be cleaned, Three people walked up and made sure I was being taken care of. Ashley was our server came back made sure that we were taken care of and made sure our food was OK. Kendall came by and asked if we needed boxes and she wasn't even our server. It's nice to see great service. Food was good Flank steak was cooked perfect..pizza and salad were great as well . I highly recommend reservations, especially on Sundays. Keep up the good work read more

We took a Sunday drive down to Carson City and went to lunch at Cook'd. We got there about 11 and had our choice of seats. We chose a table near the bar. Addie was our waitress and brought us water and decaf coffee. We had eaten here before and LOVED the decaf, so we asked Addie the brand Alpin Sierra, a local coffee roaster. I ordered the chicken and waffle. The bacon in the batter intrigued me. The flavors were good, the waffle was a bit crunchy for my taste. It made it hard to eat with the fried chicken breast. The chicken was seasoned well and both were served with syrup and melted butter. Hubby had the meat lovers pizza (7.95). He said it was a bit greasy and not like he recalled but the homemade dough was delicious! read more

Always our go-to spot when we head up to Tahoe from Sacramento. Have to stop in Minden to get Cook'd! Owners are the best and the vibe is great. Have not had anything there that we don't like and the service is 2nd to none. Can't recommend it enough! Also, try their famous tumbleweed for sure. Winter or summer, it always hits the spot! read more

Cook'd has really varied menu. We just had the ribeyes. Scrumptious and huge. It's like 3 days dinner. Very happy with salads and deserts, as well. read more

A friend and I had dinner on Monday, December 8th and were warmly greeted when we entered. We were immediately seated and offered menu. shortly after, the waitress took our drink orders and then gave ys a few minutes to decide. My friend had the tater tot appetizer which she loved. The tots were crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. We both ordered pizzas and the Margarita pizza, which I had was delicious. Perfect amount of sauce and cheese. My friend was very happy with her pizza as well. We also ordered side salads which were perfectly dressed with a great vinaigrette. The chocolate lasagna is really very good. Service was excellent - attentive without being intrusive. Overall, a great evenin. read more

Overall this place is good for drinks but I am typically not thrilled with their dinners. Tonight I ordered the apple grape salad with a piece of salmon. I did order to go. When I got home, I opened up a kind of sad salad with one grape cut in half after digging through the lettuce. Bacon tastes like bacon bits out of a bag. A couple wilted red apple slices were on top. Salmon is extremely dry. It used to be really good from here. We ordered a burger and tots but received fries. Just kind of disappointing for the price point. I've also noticed many items on the menu are extremely salty. I won't be back to dine for a while. read more
