What luck! We got King TRACY himself as our server today. Rockstar longtime employee who earns his recognition with every table he serves! Check out his epic Instagram congratulations blast: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJR_-CuSXKx/?igsh=MTh3bDgwMHoxeWw4 The Great Full Gardens is a local favorite and must stop when in Reno near a meal time. I don't get to the Midtown location very often, but when I do, I'm glad I came. Located in a little shopping center off Virginia Street it's centrally located in the heart of Reno. Outdoor/Indoor seating is available offering a nice shaded and/or air conditioned dining area. The food is always some of the best around with one of the cleanest set of offerings you could hope to find on a single menu...! Lots of organic and wholesome choices. I usually go for a lot less carby of a meal, but today I was feeling a Grilled Cheese made their way with several melted cheeses on sourdough with tomatoes and pesto aioli. So delicious! No matter which Great Full Gardens you're near, try it. You'll be a fan! And if you're in Midtown, hopefully you get King Tracy as your rock star server! read more

I was so excited to try this place after reading so many great reviews, which made our experience even more disappointing. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, which was a great start. The restaurant was busy, but no busier than many other places we've visited. After being seated, however, we waited... and waited... and waited for someone to even acknowledge us. Nothing. During that time, we watched our server attend to several other tables, clear dishes, grab items, and process payments. We also noticed two employees standing near the register. One of them looked over at our table multiple times, so it was obvious they knew we were there. Still, no one came over to greet us or let us know someone would be with us shortly. As we looked around, we realized we were the only Asian family in the restaurant. Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling overlooked, uncomfortable, and wondering if we were being treated differently. It was an awful feeling. Eventually, our server came to our table but never apologized for the long wait or acknowledged that we'd been sitting there unattended. By then, the experience had already left a bad impression. I was there with my husband and our three boys, and it was difficult trying to explain why we seemed to be the only table being ignored. Will we come back? NO I'm sure this restaurant has plenty of customers and won't miss one family, but every guest deserves to feel welcomed and valued. A simple greeting or apology would have gone a long way. As for the food, it was good. But good food alone doesn't make up for poor service or for making guests feel like they don't belong. Dining out is about the entire experience, and unfortunately, ours was overwhelmingly disappointing. I'm typically a very generous tipper because I appreciate good service. However, when a restaurant makes my family feel out of place and overlooked, it's hard to justify leaving anything. Respect and hospitality should be extended to every customer. read more

Amazing service! They take allergens and food sensitivities seriously and have so many options for all kinds of dietary needs. The food was really tasty and reasonably priced. The vibes were a very homey cafe but it was packed the whole time I was there, understandably. Highly recommend! read more

One of our favorites. They have such a wide variety of delicious food and they put their own unique spin on some classics. My tops are the potato taquitos and the Elvis, which is peanut butter, bananas, and bacon on a waffle. The wait staff is always super friendly and welcoming. We love the homey vibe and decor. read more

Amazing! If I lived in Reno; I would come here all the time. I love breakfast and breakfast that is out of the ordinary is a total great find. Great Full is one of those finds. I grabbed the paleo breakfast bowl with so much sautéed veggies and it was topped with egg and a protein. I decided on salmon. Big bowl and I ate it all! Great space and great service. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Approaching a week overdue on this review. Jack was incredibly awesome to us last Sunday (12/28). The place was poppin, which is typical for Sunday brunch. We ordered the Chilaquiles and a Frittata.. Mimosas and a few more items. Everyone was stoked. No complaints. Oh, aside from someone's eggs being overcooked ((shrug)) i'unno. Highly highly recommend, per usual. read more

The restaurant is cheery and bright, the food is fresh and tasty (with So Many veg, vegan, and gluten-free offerings), and the service is always friendly and attentive. Monday we had Juli's Breakfast Tacos, Huevos Pupusa, the Pollo Taco Salad, and a Gingerbread Latte with oat milk. Everything was super delish and we'll be back soon! read more

Visited GreatFull Gardens twice in 2 weeks and I am still loving them. Have had a craving for their plant based options, mainly the paleo bowl and Julie's breakfast sauté. Both options are very good with tofu. Had the mushroom latte thus morning. Nice uncaffeinated treat. The raw desserts are delicious and healthy. No guilt here! read more

I stopped in for an early dinner on Thursday night after a long drive from the Bay Area in heavy rain. I sat at the counter, which wasn't the best choice for atmosphere, but the place came highly recommended by friends. I loved that they have a large menu with plenty of options to choose from. I ordered the wild salmon with two sides of vegetables, which were fresh asparagus. The food was piping hot, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Reno. read more

Great Full Gardens is hands down my all-time favorite restaurant. I'm vegetarian, and I love that they have so many options for me, while also offering plenty of choices for my family and friends who aren't. Whether you're looking for something super healthy or a little more on the indulgent side, the food is always high quality and made with care. I usually come once or twice a week, and brunch with my family is my favorite time to visit. If you don't drink caffeine, I definitely recommend their mushroom blend drink, it's amazing! Or, if you're in the mood for something fresh, you can't go wrong with their freshly squeezed OJ. The servers here are pretty amazing... always kind, attentive, and accommodating. What really stands out is that both the servers and kitchen staff have been there for as long as I can remember, which says a lot about how well the owners take care of their team. The atmosphere is always welcoming and genuine. Check out their Instagram! Their staff makes some of the funniest reels, and it really shows the great energy they bring into the restaurant every day. read more

I absolutely love this place! The staff is always so cheerful and friendly. They always make each visit personal. The restaurant is clean and bright with lots of seating options including a patio option. To drink, I ordered a glass of champagne and a glass of their made-in-house strawberry lemonade. I combined them to make my own ultimate mimosa. It was delicious! For an appetizer, I had the stuffed mushrooms. I had one with the vegan cheese and one with the regular cheese. These were delicious! They were large and flavorful. They weren't greasy like other stuffed mushrooms at other places. For my main, I had the Crabcake Benedict with quinoa salad. The crabcake was full of flavor and had little to no filler. The eggs were beautifully cooked for a benedict. The hollandaise was creamy with the perfect amount of acidity and spice. The quinoa salad was BEYOND DELICIOUS! If you haven't tried it yet, you are seriously missing out! I can't wait for my next healthy and delicious meal at Great Full Gardens-Midtown. read more

Had a really enjoyable breakfast. Salmon Benedict. Plenty big for my usually ravenous appetite. Cooked perfectly. Big glass of apple juice was fresh squeezed. Saw other meals coming out of the kitchen which also looked delicious. Service was genuinely happy and helpful. Even though it was Saturday at the brunch hour we were seated immediately. Full endorsement. Definitely will return. read more

If you are "new" to the Reno dining scene like we were, don't miss this restaurant. The menu has so much to offer for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans! So many choices! We were seated immediately on. Busy Saturday morning around 11:00 am. Very friendly servers and staff! Hubby had the salmon Benedict. Being on my never ending diet, I chose al a carte options. Perfectly poached eggs and toast and a side of bacon for protein. Fun interior dining room with some local art for sale on the walls too. Reasonably priced. Will return! read more

Visiting from CO it's Brekkie Brunch time again! Got the Buffalo Cauliflower appetizer which was prepared naked which still had a great crunch drenched in tasty buffalo sauce. Served with homemade ranch dressing and celery sticks. The vegan brekkie burrito was just egg, vegan sausage, organic black beans, potatoes and a smothered in plant based cheese served on an organic tortilla with a homemade salsa. It was filling and tasty. The Breakfast sandwich was the clear winner of the plant based brekkie choices. The sour dough bread held just egg, smoked tempeh, tomato and spinach smothered in garlic aioli and vegan chedda served with tasty brekkie potatoes. Highly recommend adding the smoked Tempeh. Great service, foodstuff and atmosphere. A huuuge menu for everyone with lots of Variety. Stop in for fast service and great brunch! read more

Best restaurant in Reno, best staff, freshest organic ingredients, undefeated vibes. There's something for everyone at Great Full Gardens, from health nuts to meat eaters. Literally every time I come in, the music is a mood, and it's always just the right one. The place is clean and bright and welcoming. We first visited Great Full Gardens when we were in Reno for vacation in April 2025. As someone with food allergies and celiac, it's the kind of restaurant I dream about. When my husband proposed relocating to Reno from the Bay Area, Great Full was a big selling point. We moved here in September 2025. Reno has everything we love, including this special spot, where you'll find us 1-2/week, minimum! As of March 2026, we've eaten at Great Full at least 50 times, always with great service, and I've never been "glutened," as they take great care with food handling. You already know from the zillion reviews that the food is fresh, tasty, and healthy. It's rare to find a restaurant that serves high quality organic food, and knows how to cook it properly. My faves are the frittata for breakfast, the warm kale salad or Bismarck Pizza for lunch, and Vatapa for dinner. The ahi tuna as an appetizer, or an add on to a salad is an entree sized dish, well priced and is incredible with the sesame crust and wasabi mayo. They have wonderful soups by Gino The Soup Man that you also buy frozen there, or at Whole Foods. Oh, and don't miss the dessert cups, to die for! What makes Great Full Gardens even more special is the staff. Everyone we meet seems happy to be there. Love and care goes into the food, and the way customers are treated. I have no doubt that the positive culture starts at the top. At the midtown location, we've had outstanding service multiple times by Jack, Chelsea and Kay, and most often by Tracy, who's kind of the heartbeat of the whole place, and makes us feel like part of the family. We love Tracy's sense of humor and attention to detail. I think he's been working here since they first opened, or close to it. Tracy, and the whole team are top notch, and always take care of us. Side note, thanks to the chefs for all my special requests! A big thank you to all the wonderful people that make this place hum. Great Full is a second home for us, and we hope they continue to have great success. I give them my highest recommendation. read more

I am blown away! Been hearing good things about this place for a couple of years now and finally made it over to try it out! We went for breakfast and I ordered the indulgent liege monte cristo waffle. Seriously the best thing I've eating in a long time. Their coffee is also pleasantly and surprisingly very good - i got a latte. We will be back to try their dinner and lunch items. Don't skip this one! read more

Stopped here for lunch with my sisters. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. The parking lot kind of sucks during lunch time. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable.

This spot has definitely stepped up its game within the last few years. Their menu has expanded and had tons of different options and unique items. I went to lunch over the weekend with my girlfriend and we were pleasantly surprised! We both had half a sandwich and a cup of soup. The soup of the day was Coconut Corn Chowder. It had a curry type flavor that was so delicious. I had the beef chimichurri sandwich and it was perfectly melty, crispy, and had that perfect kick of horseradish. Our server was super nice. My only criticism was they didn't have an available drink menu but I saw other patrons with beverages not on the menu. To be fair they have a big list of lattes and juices but none of their alcohol was listed on the menu read more

Hadn't been here in a while as parking can be a challenge but today found a close spot. Seated immediately and provided menus and water. We wanted to try something apart from our favorites so we ordered Turkey pesto on ciabatta with coleslaw, child's spaghetti and tritip burrito. Could not skip the cheesy bruchetta, however. May be my favorite appetizer in town. Homemade toasted bread, tomatoes, garlic and parsley drizzled with balsamic and melted mozzarella. Outstanding. The brewed iced tea was very refreshing with a hint of fruit, maybe peach? The turkey sandwich was freshly made and the ciabatta roll soft and perfectly toasted. The burrito was huge, lots of tritip with cheese, rice and beans. Greens, salsa, spicy!, and sour cream on the side. The child's spaghetti was served with garlic bread. Amazing food. Locally sourced and freshly made. Our server was very warm and friendly and responded to our needs. The restaurant is clean and brightly decorated with many interesting things to examine. Love this spot, just come early for parking‍ read more

This location as well as the South Meadows location are the bomb-diggety when it comes to both food & service. Excellent, smiling and friendly service combined with very good food. What's not to like? I have eaten at both locations a number of times and everything that I have tried, or had a repeat of, was so delicious! Their soups, which you can purchase frozen at either location (or Whole Foods) are really amazing in the Winter, too. read more

The menu here has extensive options as well, wish breakfast was all day as it's rare to find a vegan pancake/waffle choice these days. Had been craving pasta and pizza, so we decided on the Spaghetti with Veatballs and side house salad, and the Vegan Mushroom Spinach pizza with Tzatiki sauce. Both were delicious! Service was fast and friendly as well. read more

Absolutely phenomenal--10 out of 10 across the board! Great Full Gardens completely exceeded our expectations. The food and service were both outstanding. I was a little hesitant to try their fruit omelet at first, but I ended up loving it so much that I went back the very next day just to have it again. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and memorable. The entire staff was wonderful--attentive, down-to-earth, and genuinely kind. The energy in the restaurant was joyful and welcoming, and it made the whole experience that much better. Their menu is impressively robust--there's truly something for everyone. From creative dishes to classic comforts, everything we saw (and tasted) looked and tasted amazing. Both times we visited, the restaurant was spotless, we were warmly welcomed and invited to choose our seats, and the food arrived quickly and piping hot. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients--everything we tried was bursting with flavor. We loved it and can't wait to return. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Not only is the food delicious every time I go here but I feel safe as someone with celiac disease eating here and that's HUGE! :) I ordered over the phone and let them know about my allergy and ask if they have contamination protocol. She was knowledgeable in explaining their process (which was very thorough btw) to me and then she even told me she was going to check with her manager just to make absolutely sure everything was safe for me. She was super kind and patient which is helpful for me because I hate this part of having celiac lol. The ambiance is good, place is always packed when I come here, and their bathroom was also very clean. Will always be coming here when I visit! read more

Okay, I might be pregnant, but I've already eaten the same meal here twice this week--and I'm not even sorry! It's just that good. The pastrami Reuben is amazing. The first time I had it on rye, and this time I tried it on sourdough--both were loaded with meat, perfectly balanced with tangy sauerkraut, and the toast was wonderfully crunchy. Paired with the quinoa salad, it's an incredible meal. This place truly has something for everyone, it's a fun atmosphere, a little pricey but worth the clean ingredients.
