Pinto beans and turnip greens with the trout. Salty :(
Gil S.

Cracker Barrel has usually been a reliable stop for us. The chicken and dumplings have always been good and satisfying, and the other staples, like their meatloaf and chicken dishes, have been pretty consistent in quality--not mind-blowing, but definitely good value in terms of quantity and quality for the price. We've always found the service to be warm and friendly, and the environment, with its quaint wall decorations and the little country store, to be cheery and charming. This last visit, though, made it seem like things are slipping a bit. There was no line, but we still ended up needing to get someone's attention (after about five minutes of waiting) to seat us, and then we ended up having to go get someone's else's attention (again after about five minutes of waiting) to come and take our order. The person who initially seated us and then chased down our server (Adrienne or Adrianne) was apologetic, but the manager, who came by to take our drink order because the server was still backed up with another order, was not. All of this was already a concern, but then unfortunately the food was way too salty--the chicken in the chicken and dumplings was inedible, and the trout I ordered was just past the borderline of being too salty. The meat in the pinto beans side dish was WAY too salty. So, just not really a good experience at a place that's usually been fine for us. We appreciated that when we paid our bill the manager discussed the quality of the food with us, but there wasn't really any gesture beyond that to acknowledge that multiple aspects of our visit were subpar.

Dumplings

Dang! They need more of these spots in California. Stopped at this one right if Interstate 80 before checking into my hotel. Promptly seated and served by the most gregarious server ever. Great positive attitude and a recommendation on almost everything on the menu. The restaurant was quiet for a mid afternoon lunch but it has all the charm of a country kitchen. Don't forget to check into the gift shop. Lots of unique stuff.

Great value! But the chicken dippers weren't the the most -est fully-est cooked. And burger was okay

Heard good stuff, but a total let down bummer dude....place looks and feels cool. Nice country store. -was recommended the Grandma Special. Pancakes were good. All the meats "suck big time"....look at the burnt bacon - WTF???? Ham and sausage was dry, but edible. -service was attempted, but don't expect a quick check-out...gotta sign everyone and their momma up for loyalty rewards, "understandable." -Judgements: first and probably last Cracker Barrel, will seek mom and pop dinner when in the mood for some good old fashion American breakfast....

The Country Boy Breakfast

Considering your other breakfast options in Reno, this is top tier baby! I came here to get some real food in my tummy and this hit the spot. As with all Cracker Barrel's the place is clean, the parking lot is clean, the service is quick, the bathrooms are working. My waitress was quick on the orders and coffee refills. I got The Country Boy Breakfast and everything tasted great. The ham was a little hard to cut because it contained a bone and my butter knife wasn't do the job. The rest of the food was good and the coffee was fresh. Come here if you are on travel. You can't go wrong at Cracker Barrel!

Food and service were down this visit. My daughter's steak ordered medium was tough and well done. Would have sent back but didn't see our waitress after she delivered food until we had to ask another server for a to go box and our check. Everything else was good.

Chicken and dumplings, fried okra, turnip greens and apples
Crystal S.

Introduced to Cracker Barrel years ago on a work trip to Kentucky, I have been a fan ever since of their chicken and dumplings, various sides, and nostalgia-filled storefront, seeking out locations while on trips for work or vacation. Yes, some of my friends and relations have found it amusing, but since there weren't any locations near my home, it was a fun addon to my itinerary. So, I was inordinately pleased to discover this Cracker Barrel now so close to home! I've enjoyed a visit at this location a handful of times, and since at least a month or two has passed since the last one, decided it was time for a chicken and dumplings dinner. Things started out a little rough, and got rougher. We arrived 30 minutes prior to closing, and waited and waited to catch anyone's attention to seat us. Finally had to interrupt a very lengthy transaction at checkout to ask if they were done seating for dinner. The hostess immediately apologized and got us seated. But then we had to go back and ask if anyone was going to take our order after sitting again unnoticed. The manager came out and took our drink order followed by our long-awaited waiter. The food arrived pretty quickly, but sadly, this was the worst part of the visit. The chicken in the dumplings was so incredibly salty I actually couldn't eat it. I hate returning food, but I had to ask if something could be done. The waiter consulted with the manager, and they brought out a freshly cooked chicken breast made "without any seasonings." This is surprising since I've had bland chicken before, but here there must have been so much salt left in the cooktop, this "unseasoned" version actually came out pretty perfectly seasoned. Three stars instead of two because of loyalty to the brand concept, as well as because of the excellent customer service provided by the hostess and manager. Both did their best to ensure a good experience, and the manager also asked for feedback after the meal. I'm pretty nervous about ordering from here again, but I hope some changes are reflected in the seasoning levels, and that there's a return to the former well-loved recipe.

Nice biscuits and gravy
Gus M.

Other than having a bit of a slow service, everything went well. They have excellent fried chicken. We had the chicken and dumplings and some delicious sides to go with our food. They have a very nice place with a lot of things to look at and you can also shop if you want while you wait. We had a very nice waitress, she had a name tag that said EM on it. They could elevate their rating by providing their can beer in a cold glass . My canned beer was kind of warm. When I asked for the soup, which I wanted a bowl I was given a cup and it was lukewarm. Simple details like that could make a more pleasant experience.

Biscuits with Sawmill Gravy
Jennifer P.

I love visiting Cracker Barrel more for the store than the restaurant. That being said, I went to lunch here and decided to try the summer special, Campfire Beef. It came out wrapped in the foil it was cooked in, which was ok but a little annoying to eat around. The meal itself was very good with tender carrots and potatoes and corn on the cob. The beef was pretty good but a little fatty. I wish it had a little more spices but it definitely reminded me of dinners around the campfire when I was a kid. I had a glass of their sweet tea, which I love. The biscuits that came with the dinner were nice and fluffy. They were served with a side of gravy, butter, and honey. I didn't try the gravy because I am not a fan. It was clear that they were a little understaffed because the waiter wasn't as attentive as they usually are. He was still really polite and did his best.

Fried Chicken
Jordan F.

Review for the store: Absolutely obsessed with the store! They have such cute kitchen items, and old fashioned candy!!! I definitely purchased a lot of candy from the store! Restaurant: This was a little miss for me. My fried chicken was good, very flavorful. And the cinnamon rollls were soooo sweet but it was delicious. The corn muffins were so dry and bland and tasteless, we couldn't eat those. It was busy, but staff could've been more attentive instead of us waiting for a while.

In the dining room

Pretty standard for the franchise. Family friendly with beer and wine now available. Good portions and good service. Usual old signs and farm equipment on the walls. The little store as you enter is always fun.

Been wanting to try this place since it opened up and was highly disappointed. I ordered the chicken fried steak with biscuits and gravy and grits, and the grilled cheese and fries for my son. The grits were alright, but the main entree was so bad. The biscuits were super dry, chicken fried steak had no seasoning, and the gravy. Y'all, I was so sad. It had no seasoning and the texture was just bad. Like not gravy texture at all. I could've formed it into a shape and it would've held form. Bad. My son didn't even want to eat his grilled cheese. How do you mess up grilled cheese? By not letting it get melty. It was more like toast with slices of American cheese. The location is nice with lots of parking. And the store inside is cool and can find some amazing treats and decor. It sucks having to pay at the store register when there's a line for people making purchases for the store only, and you're just trying to pay for food. Would not recommend the food here.

Fried Cinnamon Apples
Jill C.

Oof I'll be the first to say that this isn't my style of food or restaurant. We intended to go for Mexican but the night went sideways and we were headed to in n out but the line was long, so we decided to try Cracker Barrel. The portions are insane and for your own sake don't look at the calorie counts...yikes. The Nashville hot chicken was indeed spicy which I was surprised by. The skin was so fried that it just felt like a big bite of oil though. Hard to find the actual chicken meat! The honey butter fried chicken was similar. In our group the burger was the best tasting entree. The biscuits were deliciously warm but needed no additional butter, wow. Service was friendly but slow. All in all a perfect spot for someone with a huge appetite who likes pretty basic country style food.

I made a taco and the ground beef was seasoned perfectly! Meats: The roasted turkey and sausage were exceptional. The prime rib and steaks were overcooked and dry. Salads: I loved the variety of salad dressings available! Fruits were sparse. There was only watermelon available. Soups: Clam chowder & pho were delicious! Desserts: Tasty and the portions were too large. Recommend making the serving sizes smaller to decrease waste. I stumbled upon the horchata and Melon drink dispensers. What a great find. Very tasty and fresh! Service: Our table server was Mauricio. He made the dining experience so pleasant and we felt like a VIP. He was very attentive and served with pride and a genuine smile! This was our first time at this buffet. We were instructed that we earned a one free person meal but after looking at our bill, we did not receive the discount. We were a party of 12 but we were good with being assigned 3 separate tables. They were gracious to keep us in the same area. Thank you. Ambiance: Warm, inviting. The plates were very accessible. Booths were roomy and very comfortable. Recommend: Moving potatoes near the meats area. It was a difficult find. We will return! Thank you for your service. Rondez

I have lived in Reno for 13 years and I suspect I have eaten at Toucan Charlie's at least 50 times…read more I have long regarded as the 'to go' place for visitors. Well, not any more. I arrived at 1140. There were maybe six customers in front of me. It took 25 minutes to get seated. There had only one person checking in guests. There were 3-5 hosts waiting to get guests to their tables (I have never seen this before). Okay, let's get to the food. Birria dry and not much taste. Spanish rice was wet. Steamed clams were awful; the liquid was oily and smelled fishy. Ma Po tofu was cold and tasteless. Boiled shrimp were tiny. Orange (?) chicken was a little tough and did not have a lot of flavor. Pho was insipid. (Chinese) beef and mushroom was not tasty The only things up to the prior standard were the Smoked trout Sautéed cod Sesame ball Deserts were as expected. Service by Delphina was excellent as always. Even with 'the Monday locals discount,' the bill came to $82 for two, less tip. Given the drop in food quality, it is overpriced. I have eaten lunch at Golden Corral (in Maryland) where the food was more satisfying and cost 40% less. I won't be bringing my Reno guests here any more. So after many years of 5-star ratings, today, they get a 3-star rating.

Great place to eat seafood in an upscale atmosphere with incredible 8K Ultra High Resolution Videos…read moreon giant screens showing amazing places around the world. Prices are high as expected in this type of setting. But if you have deep pockets and a seafood craving it should fit the bill. Most if my experience is eating the AYCE sushi here. Yes it's about $12 more per person that if you want to AYCE outside the hotel, but the local's 20% discount evens it up. Selection is more limited than most AYCE menu's. Probably the most limited in Reno based on my experience. They don't have things like scallop, unagi, surf clam nigiri. Mussels only available as nigiri sushi not as an appetizer. Etc. Roll menu is decent, you will find something you like if you are into rolls. They are HUGE, so recommend ordering a half long roll when possible. They also have a selection of hand rolls. We got the Salmon Skin Hand Roll which was pretty mediocre as the salmon skin was overcooked, very dry and crunchy like it was a bit burnt. Fish quality it typically on par with the average AYCE place in Reno but overall a half step down from one of the most popular AYCE places just a few blocks North (Tokyo sushi) which is a madhouse during prime hours with long waits so if you can get seated quickly here the convenience of it being in the hotel may be the better choice especially if you want a nicer, special ocassion atmostphere. Service at the bar was not very good this time around. Waited 20 min for them to come get our card to pay. But generally at the bar, because you can order directly from the chef, the server doesn't have to come very often except to get dessert order or drink order. If they had a wider selection on the AYCE sushi menu and some of the texture of the fish (Salmon) was more firm and less mushy, it could be a 5-star experience.

I'm sad to had to drastically change my review of Oceano. As a Reno local we were regulars. I have…read morea gluten allergy (not severe celiac) and they were super accommodating with the sushi menu - made substitutions and provided gluten free soy sauce. Not anymore. They have bared anyone who is gluten free from doing all you can eat sushi. I was rudely told this with no explanation from the sushi chef at the sushi bar. The server was kind but explained they would not make any exceptions and I'd have to do ala carte. Even when I talked to a manager she explained my only option was to do ala carte. Even after I explained I didn't need a celiac safe kitchen. This is super disappointing and extremely frustrating. I suppose they are "accommodating" but not really. If you have a gluten allergy of any time don't waste your time. Go to any number of other sushi restaurants in Reno (see my other reviews) - Tokyo Sushi, Sushi Pier, 2ThaJoint and Kitzmo are all beyond accommodating and knowledgeable!

It is also airy, light, and crispy. The crunch of the fish shattered lightly when you bite it without sticking heavily in your teeth. They also use a clean oil when frying the fish -- unlike other fish and chips I had in Lake Tahoe, burnt and the batter tasted old. The cod fish was hot, juicy, and flaky -- it really tasted good. I squeezed them with lemon and dip it in vinegar. Satisfyingly good! The clam chowder is packed with clam and not too heavily creamy -- it is just right. It brought back the time when I had a bowl of clam chowder in a restaurant in Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is bright and clean, so I will really recommend it! Also it is interesting that this restaurant is surrounded by fast food chain, if I were you, dine in here than eat a very unhealthy fast food burgers and fries.

Some friends told us about Smee's Fish and Chips. It was time to give a try…read more We started with the Clam Chowder. Served hot (how I prefer it), the chowder was full of flavor with Clams, Potatoes and I think some mushroom. I thought the texture had a nice creaminess to it. Some in our party didn't care for it, but for me, I thought it was pretty good. A friend had the Ceviche. A couple of Shrimp top the dish, but it is mostly tiny bay shrimp. Other than the larger shrimp, the dish was unremarkable and not worth the money. We moved on to the fried zucchini. This dish was fresh from the fryer and served freakin' hot. And I do mean freakin hot. The dish was fine, but a tad bit on the oily side. More on that later. All of the starters are just a fancy lead up to the main course. If you're going to do something well, it better be what you are known for. Smee's use 100% WILD ALASKA COD "Hook & Line", received from their Alaskan Leader fishing fleet. The fish is made fresh on every order. I will say the "fish" was pretty good, but I think the oil was either old or not at the righ temperature because the resulting dish was oily and just plain soggy. While served hot, it was a doughy, soggy mess. We hoped for more but Smee's did not deliver.
