    Multiple takeout orders left and behind lines of food undelivered

    Everything can improve. Terrible service, should be totally a quick bite. We came in during the time of a concert so ofc it's gonna be busy but it cleared out quickly. Took so long that everyone basically left without getting their full order. Been waiting for an 1 hour and a half, mind you, server said she would check after constantly asking and having to get up + she never did. Ambiance completely ruined so doesn't even matter. Manager didn't even help just pushed chairs in.

    Watching this mess of a casino restaurant. Ordered over 45 minutes ago, still no food, the staff is doing absolutely nothing. It's super loud from the club next door. This used to be a great place for a quick bite to eat but no longer. On the bright side the pizzas are huge! Now up to an hour still no food. Asked for a refund can't figure out how to do that, so here we sit. What a horrible experience!!!! 1 hour 20 minutes finally food arrived, looks good but would never wait for this again! Oh it was just 2 burgers, nothing that should have been difficult.

    Plain chicken wings

    Enough variety on the menu that there is something for everyone. The service is always friendly and didn't take long for our food to arrive. Very casual setting. I've had their pizza and wings many times but thought I'd switch things up and ordered the bang bang shrimp. Really good and the spice level was perfect. Check it out when you're at the Nugget.

    Last night after a concert at the Nugget Casino, I found a hidden treasure. I was recommended by a customer sitting in the restaurant to try the Pad Thai Bowl. The kitchen is open so you can watch how your food is prepared. I did order the Pad Thai and it was Fab!!!! Served with a wonderful presentation of chicken, noodles, sprouts, onions and spice. You can also have shrimp as well. A very healthy portion in one bowl. I took home my leftovers... Room Chef Trevor Gerber should be awarded for this Pad Thai bowl. I will positively bring my family back for this dish. When you visit The Nugget Casino...head right over to the Island Grill and say hello to Chef Trevor making your beautiful food and my new favorite Pad Thai bowl. Come visit! Amazing!!!! Good food is so beautiful. Julie A.

    Drunken noodle
    Alexis E.

    Had very friendly service at the register! I had the drunken noodles and katsu. Katsu seemed burnt, still decent. Fries were in large portion size so yay. Lastly, the drunken noodles were my favorite, but they were covered in a lot of oil. If they had less oil it would've been much more enjoyable. Overall service is excellent and it's a decent place to eat if you're stuck at the nugget.

    Pad Thai and burger

    The food was not bad, the pad Thai is advertised as spicy and there was no spice. Burgers fire. Can not add lettuce to a burger and even when you dine in for 20 dollar entrees you order off a tablet next to the host. Service was not good. This is a sit down restaurant not acting like a sit down restaurant so my boyfriend would ask questions like "do we get our own drinks?" He was met with a rude attitude and the server saying is this the future?? Yes you do. Order Togo you'll be good.

    French Fries

    The service was okay, we had to bus our own table. They were really busy with a concert happening . I had the Loco Moco, which was not very flavorful. The cheese pizza was plain, sauce was not flavorful. The French fries were good, probably the best part of our meal.

    Roni Pizza. Amazing!
    A G.

    Didn't even know about this walk up restaurant until our last day staying at the Nugget. It was 20 min before closing when we ordered a pizza and let me tell you..... One of the best New York pizzas I have ever had.. Crunchy crust, flavorful dough, zesty sauce with a stretchy cheese pull. A++ Staff was great, friendly and helpful. Will go next time for sure when we go back to Sparks. Restaurant should be called Hidden Island grill because you can walk right past it without even knowing..

    Burger and fries were good, but the soda from the fountain drinks tasted like the carbonation was off. The one thing I did not like was being forced to tip when using my card to pay as the option for no tip was greyed out, so you had to choose the tip option. I'm not against tipping. I just like to tip with cash.

    Absolutely delicious! We had such a great experience here!…read moreThe burgers were seriously delicious--juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and everything tasted fresh. The portions were satisfying, the food came out hot, and the whole meal was just one of those experiences where you finish eating and immediately think, "I'm glad we came here." If you're craving a really good burger, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. We'll absolutely be back!

    So glad we finally tried this place!…read more Some friends of ours tried this place a few years ago, but honestly, I had never even heard of it until I recently saw a review pop up. I told my husband, "We've got to try this place!" We were going to be downtown anyway, walking along the river, so it seemed like the perfect time. I'm so glad we did! I have to say, this place is definitely hipster--and I mean that in the best possible way! It has such a cool, unique vibe. There are diner-style seats with limited space right up along the bar, outdoor seating, and even a bus that has been turned into dining space. The bus was super cute and quaint inside. Today was absolutely perfect for sitting outside, so we took advantage of the beautiful weather. Our waitress, Nicole, was absolutely adorable! She was friendly, welcoming, and made our experience even better. There was another gentleman helping serve us as well, and unfortunately I didn't catch his name, but he was also super nice and attentive. Now for the food! I ordered the Pastrami Pile Up, and boy, they weren't kidding--it was PILEDDD UP! There was a generous amount of really good pastrami, along with a 1/3 pound burger. The pastrami was delicious. For me, the burger could have used just a little more seasoning and I had asked for medium-well, but it came out more medium. I didn't want to complain, though, and overall it was still good. The tater tots were fantastic! They came out hot, crispy and perfectly cooked. Definitely the kind of tots you keep eating even when you know you've already had enough. My husband ordered the Nevadan Burger with Swiss cheese, and he said it was really good. He also got the fries, which were hot and very tasty. There was so much food that we ended up taking some of the fries and our burgers home to enjoy tomorrow. And then there were the Parmesan garlic wings. My husband said they were absolutely delicious and had just the right little bite to them. I'm not really a wings person, so I didn't try much, but he was definitely impressed! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are so happy we finally gave this place a try. Between the fun atmosphere, unique seating options, friendly service and generous portions, there's definitely a lot to come back for. Next time, I think we're going to try something completely different--and I already have my eye on the fried Oreos with ice cream! So glad that random review popped up and convinced us to give this place a try. Sometimes you just have to follow the recommendation and go!

    While visiting Reno, I found this butcher shop/restaurant on another social media platform…read more Everything they had to eat looked good and they highly recommended it. So I decided to give it a try. My husband and I were there for lunch. Upon walking into the store it is just so light and bright and open. The presentation of meats and seafood are displayed so beautifully. The menu for fresh food cooked right off the grill was right next to the cash register. My husband went with the bison, barbecue burger, and a side of fries, and I had the original burger with my choice of cheeses. Everything was prepared and served hot and fresh! We were offered ranch to go with our fries. I had a house made thousands island type sauce (but way better) to go on my cheeseburger. It was delicious. I asked one of the employees (Sarah) what was in it. She was very pleasant to talk to and very knowledgeable about all of their house made sauces. I told her that I loved the garlic in the Thousands island style sauce so she gave me a sample of their garlic aioli sauce! If you are a garlicholic like me, this is a must try!! Chefs kiss, for sure! I cannot recommend this location enough! When in Reno, it's a must try! If you go, tell Sarah her perimenopause, Indiana, garlic loving friend said hello!

    Been waiting a long time to try this place. It did not disappoint. Yes these are ~$20 burgers but…read moreyou get what you pay for. Top quality meat and different meat & cheese choices. (Their Classic in my photo is probably their least impressive looking burger.) I ordered medium rare like always at a high-quality joint but I accidentally got someone's medium-well, and after tasting both, I actually preferred the the medium-well as the grind on the rare part of the medium-rare was a little mushier than I'm used to. Probably because most places you order a medium-rare you actually get a medium. Not here. I'd go medium on a return visit. I like they don't overseason the burger with too much salt like a lot of other places. Eaters with palates desensitized to salt due to a lot of fast food/burger eating may find the need to add salt to satisfy their salt craving. The burger sauce is also served on the side and is a bit milder, and more homemade tasting compared to your average burger sauces. This is great because the meat is so good you really don't want to overshadow it with salty seasoning and overpowering sauces. If you're going to dump a bunch of salt and sauce on it, just go to In-n-Out. They also have sandwiches, tenders and chili. If you think about it, a butcher shop deciding to serve cooked food is taking a risk. If the food isn't that great it can affect their meat business. The shop atmosphere is very upscale with high prices to match it like the rest of Rancharra Village. Very limited indoor bar dining and some tables outside. Not sure if the really high prices for the meats and seafoods in the case are worth it, but the saying "you get what you pay for" at least applies to the burgers here. My only suggestion is take a sharpie and scribble the cook temp (medium, medium-rare, etc) on the paper in the burger basket so groups don't get their burgers mixed up. They verbally pointed it out but it's easy to forget by the time you get back to your table with 3, 4, or 6 burgers. Fry basket is a great value, easily enough for 2 people and probably some of the best thick cut fries I've ever tasted with sort of a very light seasoned crispy panko outer texture to them. Updated Reno Burger Rankings primarily on quality/taste but also value is factored in but to a lesser degree: #1 Armandos #2 Royce #3 Beefy's tied with The Parlor #4 Archies Giant #5 Juicy's

    I remember seeing these guys on "triple D", and Guy was very impressed with their food. So, when I…read moresaw their booth at the Labor Day, weekend barbecue cookoff in Sparks, I decided to give them a try. I was not let down at all. I chose a platter with three ribs, hot link, cornbread, and for my sides, I chose their "porky beans", and coleslaw. Everything was amazing The ribs were succulent, and fall off the bone, tender, and the barbecue sauce was rich and tangy. The hot link had a good flavor, and had just enough of a "zip" to it, that got my attention. There was a good amount of pork in the beans, and I'm not sure what was in the sauce, but it was rich and delicious. The coleslaw was nicely, dressed with a little bit of pepper in it. The cornbread had just a little bit of a "sweet" to it, which I really like. It was also very tender. It didn't need any butter, or anything. This amazing meal, they only charged me 20 bucks. Worth every penny! Next time, I want to head into the restaurant to try some more of their offerings. Thanks for a great meal.
