Wish they would of told us that when we said we were going to share. Not like we were in a steakhouse but whatever‍. Tacos were alright, something my grandkids could of made for me at home. Love the ambiance of this place though. Rode our motorcycles to go eat there. We were the only 2 bikes there but alot of side by sides. I am not knocking this place but stick to the burger or the ribyr sando!

I wandered in yesterday as part of my short afternoon road trip from Genoa. On first glace, this…read moreis a California Lottery Business, that has a gift shop, light groceries, and a Deli on the side. I don't think there is another Lottery location for miles, as I've driven past a few times to see a line out the door. What I saw inside were 2 significant lines - one for the CA Lottery Machine and one at a dedicated counter. A few tables were then occupied by folks scratching away. There is a separate gift shop room that is very nice and they do sell branded clothing in the main room. And even with the Lottery traffic, it seemed pretty easy to buy a sandwich at the Deli and have a seat. The folks here also seemed very pleasant and organized. Tip: While you're in the area, drive on down the road and pay a visit to the very cool Markleeville General Store.

Asking me to rate my experience is peculiar. I went in and bought a lottery ticket. I paid cash…read more Asking me to rate my experience actually hit me like a ton of bricks. I know that very little that we do is private, and I know we are tracked, but to know that me driving out to Woodfords to get a lottery ticket and the internet accessing my location via GPS (of course, I had my cell with me!) and then actually asking about my experience? This makes me sick. But I have to say, I've been out there numerous times and everybody's having a good time. The restaurant is cookin' busy and the people are happy. The place itself is spotless. But mostly, what I think is the star of the show is their employees. Every person I have interacted with has been just awesome. Always smiling, kind and patient, and they don't mind answering questions. So despite the fact that I think it sucks that I was tracked and asked, I don't mind saying that I like the place a lot.

I've read a lot about the Sierra Chef on Facebook, and I've always wanted to pass through town and…read more stop. This is my first time in Genoa, which is a wonderful little town. It reminds me a little bit of Virginia City, only without the bars, casinos, old-time photo shops, and camel races. Genoa is the oldest town in Nevada, founded in 1851 as a Mormon trading post. It still has lots and lots of history. Mormon Station State Park has replicas of some of the original buildings, and there are other historic buildings in town as well. however, Genoa feels more like a small ranching town rather than a big movie set. Tucked into this cute little town, is the Sierra chef. They do a lot. They do catering, they do cooking classes and it's a good old-fashioned Italian deli, also. Lots of Italian foods, and also grocery items, that you can buy. They have meats and cheeses, imported olive oils , sauces, and pastas. Amazing pastries. Gelato. They even carry. Illy coffee, which is a very high-quality coffee. Everybody in the store was so nice. For my lunch order, I was helped by Lori, and she was also very friendly and helpful. I decided to have the Porchetta sandwich, and it was amazing. Wonderfully seasoned pork, cut into thin strips. It was rich, savory, and had an amazing "porky" flavor. I could smell it as soon as it was brought out to my table. It was on a wonderful bread that was crusty on the outside, and soft and pillowy on the inside. , the cheese was creamy, , and the veggies were just absolutely amazing. One of the best sandwiches I have had in a long time. To drink, I had a cherry lime, Italian cream soda. I could taste both the cherry and the lime, I loved the creaminess of it, and there was just enough of a soda water that I could get the carbonation. For dessert, I had a cannoli. The shell was perfect, the ricotta in the middle was wonderfully rich, and I had chocolate chips on one end, and pistachios on the other. Again, totally top-notch. I took home a jar of imported puttanesca sauce, and it was just as great. The tomatoes had just had a rough chop, I could taste the brine from the capers, I could taste the olives, everything in it made it one of the best sauces that I have had in a long, long time. I live in the Sacramento area, so I'm going to have to see if I can find that sauce locally. It was that good. The price out the door for everything was very reasonable, considering the high-quality of the product. Just an amazing stop at a fantastic shop. I will be back. Thanks!

Ok, Minden. I see you! First time finding a coffee shop here that is more my style. I happened to…read morebe in the neighborhood and was looking for breakfast spots. A couple places popped up, but after doing some research, I decided to give this place a shot as their menu and ambiance piqued my interest. This place is hidden within a bunch of medical offices and other restaurants. You won't see it off the main drag. They have plenty of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. Interior looked clean and well organized. This place had an extensive coffee/drink menu as well as food/pastry offerings. You can get a full breakfast here. I tried: BD's latte - Your basic latte garnished with candied orange and a dusting of shaved chocolate. What a beautiful presentation! Love photo worthy coffee drinks. My only critique is that this drink would be 5 stars if the latte itself had an orange syrup or flavoring to match the garnish. This would have really made this latte pop with flavor. Dog House Toast - avocado toast with 2 poached eggs, hollandaise, and arugula. That hollandaise gives it this delicious richness that makes this breakfast satisfying and the arugula balancing it out with some freshness. I only wished the yolk was runnier. It was almost over done. They had so many other food and drink items I wanted to try. They had an extensive seasonal menu. I really wanted to try their S'mores Bourbon Cold Brew. I will definitely be back to try their other items.
