Exceptional sandwiches from an exceptional hot deli. They roast their own meat that goes into the sandwiches. Need I say more? Service is always on point here. Oh! If you like craft beers on tap, you're going to love their bar with about 30 kegs on tap. If you like whiskeys, you're going to think you've stumbled into paradise! You can also buy USDA prime beef here to take home and cook. read more

This place is absolutely amazing and a hidden gem of northern Nevada! DO NOT pass by without stopping. Perhaps the best whiskey selection of northern Nevada and a tremendous selection of draft beers. The food is second to none. I'm not sure if the meats are local or butchered here, but I assume so. I had the Philly on this trip, which wasn't traditional but rather had thinly sliced and fresh rib eye steak! I also had the buffalo fires, which is basically French fries drenched in a delicious buffalo sauce. Both were amazing and I will be back, perhaps more than once, next time that I'm in Gardnerville! read more

Ate here yesterday... Very skimpy portion, mediocre flavor.Got the housemade bratwurst special sandwich on a steakroll with deli mustard and sauerkraut for $13. Very small length of bratwurst that was not much wider than a standard hot dog. It was cut in half and split horizontally to stretch across the roll. Id say the sausage was maybe 5" long on a 6 inch roll. Very little sauerkraut maybe 2 tablespoons. Bratwurst flavor was pretty muted sandwich is mostly roll. Felt ripped off like if at a stadium vendor..this a a $5 item. read more

Friendly staff but terrible food. Had a Philly cheese sandwich and a cup of chili. Tasted like warmed up microwave food.

We were on our way to Schat's Bakery to find out the restaurant is closed on Monday. Well it was a good thing because we decided to try the Minden, Meat & Deli. I believe Kevin is the owner or at least sometimes. You walk-in to find many specials listed on the counter along with a menu! He has a ton of craft beers on tap and an assortment of liquor choices specializing in Bourbon. This place has a lot of character to say the least. I noticed he had many bottles of wine and liquor with discounted prices. Something to check out while you're having your lunch. A 16oz beer is around $6 -$8.50. My husband ordered a 24 oz beer but got served a 16oz which was fine. We split the Phil's Bratwurst and a bag of chips. The sausage was super tasty and my husband wants his own next time. There is sitting on the patio with umbrellas and you can bring your dog which is a nice touch! Also seating inside with low and high back chairs. If you're in the area, you should give this place a try! I look forward to next time. read more

Landed in Reno and was heading to my meeting in Minden, NV. Got to town early so search yelp for a place to eat for lunch and saw Minden Meat & Deli with great reviews. I ordered the Tri Tip deluxe sandwich. It was excellent! Had a side of bbq sauce and horse radish sauce to spice it up and the combo went well together. This was a great stop. Service was excellent (order at the counter). There are allot of seating inside and outside. It's a meat and liquor deli with lots of choices if you like Whiskey. They had plenty of beer taps as well! I will definitely go back next time I'm in town and try the other sandwiches. read more

This place used to be great but the last two times we've eaten there it was not good. Pricey and skimped on the meat. I had a seafood sandwich and it was yuck!!! I don't think we will be going back. read more

Such a great stop in the small town of Minden. They have a massive selection of bourbon, whisky, wine, beer and even some ciders. We stopped in for a quick drink on our way to another function and were glad we did. After seeing what looked to be really great bar food being served, we definitely want to go back for lunch. We chatted with a couple of regulars said the food is fantastic. It had a local's vibe and the staff were really friendly. read more

I've been coming to this spot for nearly 10 years. They have gluten free options including bread and fries in their own fryer. My favorite go-to order is the tri-tip sandwich add pepper jack cheese. They have a 31 rap draft system full of a wide range of ciders, stouts, porters, ipas, lagers, sours, ales, and even kombuchas. It's impossible to not find something refreshing to enjoy or take in a growler. They have over 350 canned/bottled options too! They also have a large selection of craft sodas for non-alcoholic options. Oh yeah--don't forget about their variety of spirits. The service is usually very friendly and prompt. It's a fun and clean shop. They usually have giant jenga on the patio as well for a fun evening spot to hang out. read more

I've been coming here for years and have always loved the food and beer, which makes my last couple of visits especially disappointing. On my most recent visit, I ordered a scoop of ice cream for $3.50 and the small cup I received was less than half full. It amounted to about six small bites. When I pointed it out to the staff, I was told that was the "typical" serving size, which was honestly surprising and frustrating for the price. The week prior, I ordered a turkey pesto sandwich and it arrived looking more like half a sandwich than a full one. Between the shrinking portions and the response from staff, the value just isn't there anymore. After years of being a regular, it's disappointing to say that I won't be ordering these items again read more

This is one of the best sandwich shops on the entire US395. They are excellent. I like the pastrami a lot. Tri tip is excellent. I like to par a Sammy with potato salad. This is worth the stop! read more

Pretty simple review, we tried a bit of everything and all of it was amazing!!! They have a super fast and efficient system to get a lot of customers through during peak hours. Went in at Noon on a Sunday and were out with 3 sandwiches (tri tip, Reuben and meatball PLUS 2.5 pounds of uncooked tritip) in under 15 mins. Fantastic spot to stop at on the 395 whichever direction you're going! read more

Always a great deli, huge selection of wines and whiskey. An actual deli with cuts of beef, fresh sides and local ice cream too. Service was great! Inside and out was clean and well laid out. Great selection of beers too. So much to choose from here. We love this place. read more

Be sure you're hungry when you stop in here for a juicy burger and fries, most any kind of sandwich or side and ice cold soft drinks and beer. They also feature a huge variety of bourbons to sample, a nice selection of wines and gourmet cheeses and snacks to go. Reasonable prices, and generous servings with excellence service. read more

Stopped by here for lunch and opted for the Ortega Burger and some Beer Batter fires. They had a great section of beers/ciders/kombucha for every taste and I went for Belching Beavers - Viva La Beaver!, which is their peanut butter milk stout w/ cinnamon & coffee, while very good, I prefer their OG peanut butter milk stout. As for the burger, it was a decent size, and the toppings and bun were spot-on. However, I found the burger itself to be a bit overcooked, resulting in a lack of flavor. I had to add salt, which is something I typically never do with my burgers. Next time, I'll be sure to request it cooked to medium to fully savor the flavors. While the fries were tasty, they were a tad too greasy for my liking, possibly due to the beer batter. As a result, I wouldn't order them again. Overall a nice lunch, and I will return to try some of their sandwich selections. Cheers! read more

We went for a bourbon tasting and started with a fantastic lunch. Maple bourbon sausage sandwich and their signature tri tip sandwich. The owner set us up with a bourbon tasting of 8 different bourbons. Kevin was very helpful with how to properly do the tasting to get the best results for our experience. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Learned a lot about bourbon. Had a wonderful time and will definitely go back soon! The restaurant is family friendly. Pet friendly on the patio. They have amazing sandwiches, sell all the items for a charcuterie board and all kinds of bourbons, beers and premixed canned beverages. read more

Second time here and I loved it just as much if not more than last time!! Fantastic beer selection, no denying that. One of the best chicken corn chowders I've ever ever had!' Great sales on wine!! Can't wait to try the strawberry Chardonnay cheese I bought too!!! read more

A favorite place for lunch whenever we are over the hill in Nevada. The Moms burger is one of my favorites, and while waiting it's always fun to peruse the hundreds of different bourbons and whiskeys that they sell. read more

So, rookie at the counter did not give me the burger I wanted because he just agreed with me on the kinda name. My bad for not insisting he verified the burger. The burger was large, but thin and easily overcooked, as mine was. Thin burgers are hard to cook medium rare. I think there was cheese on it, but my goodness, was the slice one millimeter thick and half the size of the burger? Wife loved the BBQ chicken burger sandwich. Beer was great! Reasonably priced. I will go back, just get something with more girth to in than the burgers. Lots of menu items! read more

Thank you for exceptional quality and service. Making our holiday meal and get together all the better. read more

The building housing the Minden Meat & Deli was once a Heidi's and maybe a railroad station way before that. I've passed this place a number of times in my US 395 Geno-Gardnerville travels. I only recently stopped in for Lunch as I was serving as an Election worker during the recent presidential preference primary. I only had a half an hour and just barely made it back to work within that time. I attributed that to the relatively slow time it took between my order and picking up the sandwich. There's also a lot going on here, between the deli, meat counter, full bar and alcohol inventory, and seating, making it all a bit confusing. The bottom line though is that my hot sandwich was delicious and with sparkling water and chips, just what I needed to help get me though the afternoon. I do need to come back and peel back this onion that's called the Minden Meat & Deli a little more. read more

Minden Meat & Deli has a hole in the wall vibe, and more whiskey than I thought could possibly fit into one location. The seating area was lined with shelves of wine and bottles upon bottles of whiskey, rye, burboun, etc. This gave it a very old Nevada feel, but I do wonder how on earth they keep track of all of that inventory. For food, I couldn't decide on a sandwich order so I did the half and half. Half of a tri tip sandwich and half of the chicken bbq sandwich. The tri-tip sandwich came out with nothing on it, no sauce or spread and the people at the counter didn't ask if I wanted anything with it - just if I wanted the deluxe version which added cheese. The tri-tip was good quality, nice and tender but the sandwich really needed a sauce or dip. I did notice that there was an option to add on au jus, which I would have done had I known it was a dry sandwich. The BBQ chicken half was good, tender chicken with a good amount of sauce. I added on sweet potato fries, thank goodness! This is why I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 3. The fries were absolutely delicious. Perfectly crunchy and thin. Overall I think this place could be great, but add some sauces! The only thing offered with the sweet potato fries is ketchup. Offer sides of ranch, honey mustard, or sriracha aioli and you would have the perfect fries! read more

The taste of the food is amazing, the staff is so friendly, they answer your questions with ease and are so helpful. Now for the size of food for the price has a Huge gap. The smaller the food the bigger the price. read more

Great selections of meats and drinks ! Great place for a quick drink or to grab food for home.

The hamburgers are delicious 1/2 pounders I believe. Fries are tasty and crispy. One of my favorite restaurants

Delicious Sandwiches, meat cuts and a large stability beer and whisky selection are found upon entry to Miden Meat and Deli. I enjoyed a small order of the pasta salad which was very tasty and split a Turkey Pesto and chicken BBQ on a roll. Both Sandwiches were great though I liked the BBQ sauceiness of the chicken BBQ more so. Definitely stop in for a look. read more

The Yukon gold tri-tip and skirt steak are to die for! Great wine/liquor selection. Everyone is always friendly and pleasant.

Brought my parents, wife and son. My son did the pastrami on sourdough, said it was good but definitely not much meat. Dad did the same but as a panini and enjoyed it. The wife did the Ortega sandwich and liked it a lot and so did my mom. I always do a mom burger which is great but this I time I did the three cheese because the person taking the order couldn't figure out how to punch in the grilled mushroom, onion and Swiss burger. I'll pass on the three cheese. I would also recommend getting a basket of the fresh cut fries for two or more people. Very tasty. Picked up some beer for the road as always. And a phenomenal selection. Was disappointed with the bartender who seemed irritated about me asking about hats to bring back for my buddy. Hopefully it was just a one off day. read more

Great place to go to for food, liquor, beer and butcher meats. I had the Pastrami Cheese Burger with Fries, great meat but the burger was a little over done but still a great meal. All the food items are sold alacart just an fyi. The service staff are very outgoing and very polite. read more

We ordered a BBQ Burger, beer batter fries, 1:2 BLT, and onion rings. All of it was sublime. Can't wait to try other items on the menu.

This place makes sandwiches like a elementary school cafeteria. I am 100% convinced that people who love this place have never actually had a good sandwich or burger in their life. I've been here at least a dozen of time with people who want to go. Their burgers are always completely over-cooked and dry. I switched to sandwiches. The Reuben is the ONLY one that makes the cut as long as you do double meat. I mean honestly how hard is it to make a bad reuben? Yesterday randomly I was thinking "you know what let's try this again" and I got their Skirt Steak sandwich. I'm not playing y'all if this was what I was served in PRISON I wouldn't be surprised. What little meat there was on this giant dry roll tasted like dog food. Completely bland, unseasoned and lifeless. Keep in mind all of their sandwiches are not cheap. I think this was like $15 and that DOESNT come with fries. Just a big empty tray with a sad little great depression level sandwich. This place always has people there which truly makes me wonder what kind of food these people enjoy eating at home. If I had the choice of sleeping on a park bench in a snowstorm or sitting inside this collage student liquor bottle decorated building with a skirt steak sandwich...I'd ask where I can find some newspaper so I can have some padding on the park bench. Don't believe me? Check this picture out and you be the judge. read more

Upon traveling into the Gardnerville area and driving around for work. I was looking forward to a new lunch exploration. Minden Meat and Deli's large signage and outdoor seating immediately caught my eye. I made a mental note and search other local businesses but was pretty set on coming here. I pulled in the the restaurant and there was ample parking. Upon walking in there's endless types of cheese and meats, and bottled alcohol, felt endless! I had glanced at the menu and saw a decent friday lunch time line (it was almost 2:00 p.m.!) but it was busy. I was between a few sandwiches but went with the turkey panini. Seeing that the dining area was pretty busy although spacious I decided to get it to go. I waited more or less for 10 minutes but there was so much to see. The sandwich was amazing nice and hot, but there was a hair in it sad face I was already on my way out so ended up throwing it away which was a bummer. One of their bathroom stalls was also very rough to see as well. I think if coming to the area again I would venture somewhere different. read more
