Breakfast is serious business, and Peg's Glorified Ham n Eggs definitely knows what it's doing…read more I ordered the ham and eggs, and the ham completely stole the show. Thick, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the kind of quality you don't expect to find just anywhere. It wasn't just another side on the plate it was the reason I'd come back. The restaurant itself was a little cramped, and when it's busy, it gets pretty loud. If you're looking for a quiet breakfast, this may not be the spot. But if you're after a hearty meal with genuinely great food, it's easy to overlook the noise. For me, that ham alone was worth the visit. I'll gladly squeeze into a table again for another plate.

I truly appreciate her diligence and attentiveness. I ordered the short stack with hash browns and a fruit bowl. Super delicious and came out hot. Their coffee is very good too. Not sure of the blend but their regular blend is good and not sour. The ambiance is really nice. Large windows offer natural lighting with some help from the ceiling lights. Seems to be a friendly crowd.

PJ & Co on Wells is one of those classic Reno spots that feels a little rough around the edges in…read morethe best way. The inside has that old school diner and saloon vibe people always mention, a little dark, a little busy, with memorabilia on the walls and a bar that looks like it's been there forever. It's not trying to be trendy, more of a local hangout with a lot of character and a steady crowd of regulars. If you go on a weekend, expect a wait because it gets packed. Service was excellent. Even with the place being full, everything ran smoothly and the staff stayed friendly and attentive the whole time. It felt like they actually care about making sure you're taken care of, not rushing you in and out. Definitely a strong point of the experience. For food, we had the chicken fried steak and the French toast. The chicken fried steak was exactly what you want from a place like this, large portion, hearty, and satisfying. The French toast was a nice balance to that, a little lighter but still rich and comforting. Overall, it's solid, no nonsense comfort food that hits the spot. This is the kind of place you go when you want a real meal and a laid back atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Great value and service!

PJ's is a just a good ol'fashioned diner and I mean this in the best way possible. The restaurant has a comfortable, rustic feeling and the staff are warm and welcoming. Like you came to their home for a meal. My wife and I split the French Toast Platter, which was 2 slices of French Toast, eggs and we ordered the link sausage. The French Toast was solid. Just good basic French Toast. Nothing bougie, just good French Toast. The eggs were eggs but the sausage was quite good. Rich with flavor. The coffee, while unusually expensive for a dinner, was just meh. Nothing special nor nothing terrible. If you are looking for a good, warm, welcoming place for diner food, PJ's just might be the place.

No wait, easy seating, clear as day menu, and quick drinks. Who could ask for more? We each had a burger, cheese and cheese bacon, they did not skimp on the bacon. They served each with double cheese and veg on the side. We loved our Bloody Marys and burgers, and felt well taken care of. Why wasn't I here earlier? Several clear locals came in and out, this place has great prices and good food to match. Come by!

The service was outstanding. Even with a full house, the staff stayed friendly, attentive, and kept everything moving smoothly. That's no small feat during a busy brunch rush. I really loved this little spot. It has a welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger over your meal and soak it all in. One tip: get there early and give yourself a little extra time to find parking. It's popular for a reason, and after visiting, it's easy to see why.

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.

Why does it seem that all of Reno is sleeping on Birdeez?…read more Good vibes fun times big bars, friendly staff and tasty food plus a whole lot of experiential fun make this a place that everyone needs to check out. The food was surprisingly good. I tried the chicken wings with their hottest sauce and couldn't stop licking my fingers. They were perfectly crispy and came with a nice side of fries and healthy veggies to dunk in the ranch. The sauce was balanced with a good punch of vinegar and a nice kick of heat and the service team really knew the menu well so they helped guide us to some great selections. The mini golf being themed around our city was a fun time too, and I loved the addition of the Joker, which makes each whole play a little different and the game of mini golf a whole lot more interactive. I loved how it would encourage. Encouraged you to connect with the people you're playing with talk to them and strategize around how to leverage these advantages to help you win. Now the darts was a big surprise. This fancy tech driven dartboard that they have includes a bunch of super fun games that make darts approachable for any person. I'm not a Dart player. Maybe I've thrown one a few times but the variety of games they offer made it super fun. We crashed castles and spaceship ships and played team games in individual games in the our past and all of us were like oh no is it over? Seriously, put Birdeez on your radar for a good time. You won't be disappointed.

So disappointed on Sunday. We ordered to go , a breakfast burrito and a western burger without…read morefries, and we ordered Wedding soup. Soup was great. Burger was good. We ups recommend both of those. This is the problem--we ordered to go so we could take back to work. The first bite of the burrito was charred. Tasted that way. Figured maybe the knife that cut it was covered in something, so ate some off other half, same thing. I tore off both cut ends. Now, I know it's the burrito. This burrito should have had only cheese, eggs, bacon, and potatoes. It was missing cheese (which, ironically, may have made the completely charred bacon doable). You'd think it'd be even easier to make, not having to cook sausage, too. This bacon was not just burned. It was inedible. Because the restaurant was now closed and we couldn't leave work, I had nothing but a horrible taste in my mouth. It looked so good. I like crispy bacon, the burrito was hot. But I don't even know if meat this burnt is unhealthy. There's no way they didn't notice, that's the worst part, they still added it to the burrito. $12, no sides (you can have salsa, I have them keep it, why waste?). We'll try it again. Two previous things we noted: not real butter or mayo, if this matters to you. Spanish rice is basically tomato rice. Soups are good for the most part. Eggs are good. Prime rib is good for the price. Service is usually good. The restaurant is old but clean.

The bus-person, Guillermo as I came to discover sat me at one of Paulette's stations. I ordered my usual: decaf coffee with a side of iced water and the Empire Steak and Eggs breakfast. Mr. Guillermo dropped off all the drinks quickly and Miss Paulette delivered the food to my table shortly after. It was immediately evident how much smaller the steak was (the hash brown was twice its size by comparison) and there was a tough bit of grizzle around the steak that was completely inedible. Other than that the steak was cooked well and the rest of it was pretty tender; the has browns and eggs were great-- cooked to perfection. There was plenty of hash brown and my English muffin leftover to bring home. There was plenty service was perfect-- Paulette is a sweet and friendly server, Mr. Guillermo is an efficient and attentive bus person; they both should be employees of the month! As for the food, it was good but the sign of times shows that the economy is affecting our local establishments to where too have made drastic cutbacks in quality and quantity-- and it showed in my steak.

(all for the out of town son visiting later tonight).. also had a vegan dinner with tofu ..which I should tried as well.. Inside the box: homemade teriyaki chicken cucumber salad, Japanese Rice and mochi. Serving size was rather small.. and you can't expect it to be like the Japanese church (in Sac.) like their food bazaars...more like a sampling of foods.. Cash or Venmo accepted and whatever donation for the meal.. had a nice crispy $20 bill to donate.. Atmosphere was pleasant and a beautiful late Saturday.. So happy I finally checked it out.. looking forward to the next one..
