My late parents always told me that some of the best food comes out of the casinos. Since they…read moreloved visiting Reno (primarily for gambling purposes), they always got an amazing prime rib or lobster dinner for a very affordable price. This takes me to the city of Fernley, NV (about 30 minutes east of Reno) where I had the opportunity in trying out "Ranch House Restaurant". This restaurant is adjacent to the "Silverado Casino" which is only a small handful of operating casinos in the Fernley area. We were both very hungry as we ventured through South Lake Tahoe, Carson City, and Virginia City, our appetite grew as the evening went on. After checking into our nearby hotel (which was luckily 1/3 mile from here) and getting washed up, we made it to the restaurant at around 7:15pm on Friday 6/19/2026. Upon entry, the interior layout looks straight out of the 1970's complete with posh booth seating, wood panels, and brick walls in a very spacious dining area. This is quite reminiscent of the old school casino restaurants in the more prominent Reno casino restaurants; mainly Silver Legacy and Nugget. Once seated, we were given two menus and requested an iced water (for myself) and a Diet Coke (for her). One minor drawback which could be a make it or break it for many is that the internal temperature of this restaurant was quite cold. My guess is that it was only around 66°F so if you plan to dine-in, come dressed accordingly! I will say that the menu is quite extensive with ton of options to choose from. This includes appetizers, all-day breakfast, soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, and a lot of excellent entrée choices. After making my way through the entire menu of options, I settled with the "Grilled Salmon" entrée (priced at $18.99). This consisted of a house salad, a 6 oz. filet drizzled with balsamic glaze, steamed veggies (mainly zucchini and squash), and I opted for a baked potato (that came with butter & sour cream). She chose their "Old Fashioned Cheeseburger" (priced at $12.99) which came with lettuce, tomato, pickle, & onion on a brioche bun. She opted for cheddar as her choice of cheese and the burger came with a side of seasoned steak fries. Total time took roughly 15 minutes from when we placed our orders to when we received our food. I will say this; the food here is quite delicious. My salmon was a very thick cut and at less than $20 for a salad and full entrée, you absolutely get your moneys worth. The veggies had excellent texture while my baked potato was piping hot. This isn't a 5-star dining experience with a very no-frills atmosphere but it is your above average casino food that is eerily similar to other restaurants that are adjacent to casinos that I've dined at over the decades. Our waitress, Cassandra was very polite and professional while the ambiance, price, and food was definitely above average. My rating for "Ranch House Restaurant" in Fernley, NV is a respectable four stars.

Last-minute decision to stop by Ranch House since it had been quite a while since our last visit…read more It took a few minutes before we were seated, and unfortunately they only had one Father's Day rib special left. The ribs were pretty good--tender and moist--but could have used a little more BBQ sauce. The coleslaw was tasty, and the baked beans were okay, though both were seasoned on the lighter side. Our server, Parker, was pleasant, attentive, and accommodated all of our requests. She did her best despite the restaurant appearing to be short-staffed. Overall, the experience was okay, but the restaurant could benefit from stronger management support and better staffing levels. Service quality is likely to be impacted if these challenges continue, and it already seemed like employee morale may be suffering. Hopefully the team receives the support they need, as there is still good potential here.

Breakfast was surprisingly good--especially since I'm not much of a breakfast person. I ordered the Great Beginnings, and everything was on point: good-quality bacon, eggs cooked just right, and even the hash browns (which I normally don't like) were cooked really well. I also grabbed some sweet chili wings, and they were pretty tasty too. Service ok; they were kind of busy for a small restaurant. I heard they even provided food for a couple of hours on Thanksgiving, which is an amazing gesture--especially from a small, family-owned restaurant. Really impressive!

It's absolutely worth the money, and they're always generous when you ask for extras like dressing, salsa, and sour cream. You get to choose your protein, and it typically comes loaded with two cheeses, red onions, tomatoes, black olives, jalapeños, and refried beans. I'm a firm believer you won't be disappointed if you give it a try! Service today was just as great as the food. Huge shout-out to Kenji, who rang up my takeout order, Miguel, the PM Manager, and Jani, the server, who went above and beyond by finding us next door at the Fernley Nugget and personally delivering our order purely out of kindness. That level of service truly means a lot. Another great visit filled with good food and even better service!

Order was two asada tacos and one al pastor with green salsa. The other was one taco de Al pastor and one buche and an 8 ounce cup of beans. Asada was nothing special, kind of bland. Al Pastor: it was decent, would eat again, it's better than most. Buche: was nicely flavored. Beans: I love beans that aren't completely smashed and have some texture! Their beans were a beautiful texture. The beans fell really flat on flavor. The taste was beans, not beans cooked with any additional flavors. I didn't have more than one bite. The texture was on point though, wish they were flavorful. Taco size: the tortillas are the very small street size. We did see someone get served asada fries which were huge and looked good, I'd swap the meat out. Cleanliness: The store, meat market and restaurant were all clean. Would we return? For the pastor or buche yes, would skip anything with beans and asada.
