    Bacon Chips
    Katherine S.

    I remember when this placed first opened and it was amazing but nowadays it feels like the quality has gone down. The location is amazing and I love the small style and decorations. The service was great but the food was just okay. We got chicken wings and they seemed like frozen ones you could get from any sports bar. We also had shrimp Alfredo that wasn't very flavorful and another time we tried the chicken Alfredo and it had the same problem. Sorry we didn't take pictures of the other menu items!

    Fish and Chips

    We recently stopped in for lunch with some friends and, once again, we were not disappointed. It was a late lunch on a Sunday, and the place was pretty empty, so we could easily talk/hear each other. My wife ordered the Cobb Salad, which she really liked. I selected the Fish and Chips, and asked for the fries to be extra crispy. The fish was a little heavily breaded, but super tasty. The fries were the bomb! Bottom line: Old Granite Street Eatery will continue to be on our go-to list for sure.

    On a Friday evening that was quite busy everywhere else, our group of 7 came in and were seated right away. It has been some time since I have visited, and I was pleased to see that the quiet charm is still here. Our sever Megan was very sweet and took such good care of us. She took our drink orders and had them out very quickly. I ordered their signature old-fashioned, it was crafted very well. I enjoyed it. I wasn't feeling like having a large meal that late in the evening, so I decided on the soup of the day, which happened to be chili. It was a perfect comfort meal on a cold evening. We had a great time and I really enjoyed the quiet laid-back atmosphere.

    I ate here 4 days before the closing. Service and food were excellent and prices reasonable but not very many patrons on a weekend night which was odd all things considered. I'm just glad I got to try it! Are Reno people not bothering to go downtown and support businesses like? It had way more character that your average restaurant. What a shame.

    Bison burger

    I had been wanting to try them for decades! I finally got a chance to stop in for a burger and an Old Fashioned. I opted for a side salad instead of fries which was amazing The bison burger blew my mind with the cheese, arugula and bacon adding layers to the flavor. This may be my favorite burger in northern Nevada!

    French toast
    Chloe D.

    Food is AMAZING for brunch. We always get the French toast, potatoes with beer cheese and mimosa for 2 BUT the past two times we've tried to go, they have been closed even though every place online says they are open. The cheapest way to market your restaurant is to have your hours be correct ‍

    Located about a block from the Pioneer Center, the Old Granite Street Eatery makes for a perfect date night of dinner and a show. I rarely open with the service but tonight our waitress Allison (?) was deserving of the kudos. Happy, friendly and welcoming, Allison added so much to the experience. The other staff were equally friendly and helpful. We sat at a cozy booth for four, which was fine if not a bit snug. We ordered a variety of meals, so let me start with the Chicken Ceasar Salad. Fresh and flavorful, the salad was served with the usual parmesan cheese and croutons. What made the salad special were the bits of bacon and avocado. Delicious. Not feeling overly peckish, a friend opted for the "OG" wings and fries as her main. She opted for the Honey Garlic sauce, which while delicous proved to be a complicated choice, considering we were going to show afterwards. Sticky fingers. Our friend ordered the Pan Seared Barramundi. A delicious, flaky white fish, the fish was absolutely delicious. Served with rice and asparagus. My wife went with the Sirloin Steak. While Sirloin would not have been my first choice, the Bacon Chipotle Demi-Glaze was a nice touch. The potatoes were a bit on the dry side, perhaps sitting under the warming lights a touch too long. Overall, a lovely evening. Great service and conveniently located close to the Pioneer Center.

    Breakfast burger with onion rings The Breakfast Burger

    Stopped in for burgers with some family on a Saturday evening. Staff were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed garlic parm fries and bacon chips for apps and tried the breakfast, OG, blazing, and Mediterranean burger for our meals. Burgers were cooked perfectly, bacon was just right! All food was delicious. They also had a great wine and beer selection and full bar. Decor is rustic and quaint, plenty of seating. Also a block from Royce which is always packed and burgers here are just as good! Recommend trying.

    Sweet bacon chips

    This was our first time here and we came before a show at the Pioneer Center. Nice restaurant with high ceilings, bar area, tables, and booths. They even had hooks on the booths that you could hang jackets or bags on to allow for more space while seated. Nice touch. The staff greeted us and are very friendly with great energy. We had a reservation and were sat right away. We ordered a couple appetizers (hummus plate and bacon chips) since it was happy hour and there was a 2 for $20 deal. Our main meal had us both trying their burgers (bison burger and breakfast burger). The food was delicious. Our server was super friendly, checked in on us, and always had a smile. She was hustling around the place for sure with all the tables. We would definitely go back to try other menu items.

    Blazing Burger
    Jill C.

    Our first time here. We walked in and were immediately nervous because no other customers were there. Gulp. We started with the pretzel bites. They came fresh with melty beer cheese - tasty. Our server was friendly to start but got increasingly more distant as time went on. The water jugs on the table were empty almost immediately and never refilled. Also - warm water as no ice was offered. Call me a cranky American but I love some ice in my water!! Entrees were tasty but took a while to come out. I was disappointed in my Parmesan garlic fries - the flavor was there but the fries were lukewarm at best when they arrived. Blazing burger was indeed quite spicy. We'll continue to try other spots in downtown...perhaps the service was terrible because it was a weeknight?

    Espresso martini
    Makenzie C.

    Came with my mom prior to a performance at the Theater and thoroughly enjoyed our time during happy hour! Half of drinks and cheap glasses of good wine was definitely a highlight! Our server was very nice and attentive even thought we were there a couple of hours. We started with wine and cocktails and then each ordered a different burger. My spicy jalapeño burger was top notch and tasted delicious! The caesar salad was also good and fishy which is how I like my caesar salads. The place was cute and while tables were close together you didn't feel like you were stepping on anyone's space. The espresso martini was notable and creamy which is how I like those martinis.

    lunch date w the hubbs

    It was our first time here at Old Granite Street Eatery. We came here for lunch during a weekday and came right when it opened at 11am. It's located in Midtown. Front door has steps and if needed there's a back door with somewhat of a ramp, which we wish we knew beforehand because we had a stroller. Place is cute with a little bar to the right. A little dusty inside, could use a little cleaning around the seating areas and menus could use a wipe down. When we first walked in, we were greeted and seated right away. Water is already pre poured in a pitcher on the table. We ordered a honey chicken sandwich with battered french fries and a breakfast burger with waffle sweet potato fries. Order came is within 10-15 minutes. The fries were my favorite part! Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Portions were right for what it was priced. About $15-$20 per person.

    Welcome!

    Wow, long time since my last review, and time for an update! Granite Street has become a staple as one of the quality restaurants in the downtown Reno area. My wife and I decided to wing it for dinner out on a Friday night. After walking by a few spots, we decided to revisit Granite Street as it has been a year or 2 since we last dined here. Busy on a Friday which was great to see, and the staff was really accommodating to fit us into a table without reservations. Great menu with lot's of good options to choose from, I especially like all the different burgers, and have always been a fan of their burgers overall here. We started with the Roasted Brussel Sprouts, which were a good starter, nice and light with a spring green mix which worked well. We shared the Cobb Salad and the Breakfast Burger with a side of Sweet potato waffle fries. Really good, I'm sometimes hesitant to order burgers with egg but this one was exactly what I was hoping for. Great meal overall, our server was quick to take our order and food came out quickly and fresh. Glad I came by for another visit, every time I walk in I appreciate the open design and I'm remind of the history of the building. I still remember when it was a wedding chapel, and recently learned it was a cafe before that. Neat history of the building can be found here for those that are interested: https://renohistorical.org/items/show/108

    Might be accompanying some friends who enjoyed your restaurant. I am vegan though and I just checked the lunch/dinner menu and am not finding anything vegan or that can be easily modified. Is there anything and did I just miss it?

    Do we need to make a reservation for tonight (12/28/2022) for 3 people, around 6:15?

    That is during their happy hour and there's just a few tables so it would be a good idea

    Hi! Meeting some friends there tonight. Where would be the best place to park, around 5PM? Thanks!

    There's street parking right by there. :) Just might want to bring a couple of quarters... can't remember if the meters end at 5 or 6.

    So rumor has it, by rumor I mean "impossiblefoods.com" listed them to have their burgers, is that true?

    Yes right now they have 4 different. A veggie, a vegan, regular, & chutney. All amazing!!

    What is the corkage fee here?

    I believe it is $15

    Do I need to dress up?

    No need to dress up.

    Another visit to the Spot, one of our favorite casual downtown riverfront restaurants!…read more Came in for a dinner on Tuesday evening before a show at the Pioneer Center. It wasn't very crowded and our server grabbed our drink orders before we sat on the patio to help expedite the process. They always have a good selection of drafts and my wife was excited to find a sour beer was available. Our server was quick to grab our order, we overdid it a bit in hindsight :) We ordered the firecracker shrimp appetizer, the Wedge Salad, and the Chicken Gyro with Fried Pickles. Everything was great with the exeception of the fried pickles, which I wouldn't recommend. Too much fry, not enough pickle IMO. The Gyro meal itself would have been enough for both of us, but still glad we enjoyed the full spread. Can't go wrong at the spot, I will be back again soon!

What I didn't expect was the food to be this great. Yes, it's bar food but it's upscale bar food. We enjoyed everything no complaints at all. My husband got the fish and chips, he said it was a little oily but had lots of flavor and wasn't dry. I ordered the double smash burger and it surpassed my expectations with flavor. Great burger for sure. Our server was great and patient with all my beer questions and found one that I really enjoyed. We will definitely be back!

The eating area is very spacious and commodious. Though this place has a casual vibe, the presentation of the food is totally fine-dining material. Each dish, especially the Citrus glazed salmon, is served as a piece of art. I've been here around three times before I installed yelp, and am excited to finally leave a review. The short rib, was absolutely amazing. The short rib was so tender, and each brussels sprout was a literal flavor bomb. The brussels sprouts I've had at other places have flavor only on the exterior, whereas the brussels sprouts here play a different game. The short rib is served in a really big portion. Though it may look dark from the photos, there are actually three big pieces. I loved loved loved the sauce; there's a sweet tangy taste to it, though it reminded me a lot of BBQ sauce. This short rib was a win. Chefs kiss. The truffle lasagna was terrific; so much sauce in between the lasagna layers. I could absolutely make out the truffle flavor in this dish. However, I recommend eating this dish quickly, as the lasagna stiffens really quickly. Thirty minutes after it was served, I went it to take another bite, and it wasn't as good anymore. The ceasar salad +beef is a great choice for a light but filling meal when you're currently on a healthy diet. Each dish here comes in giant portions, but even after you finish this salad, it won't feel too heavy on your body. I think it's because Washoe is really light on the dressing levels; perfecting the amount so it doesn't overtake the fresh flavor of the greens or leave the salad bland and insipid. However, the beef was a bit too well done and on the firmer side. The first time coming here, I was totally shocked to find out that the food they served did not match the relaxed and informal vibe the setting sets up. Not a bad thing at all. Creates a laid-back vibe while still getting high quality food.

    We went to this restaurant over a year ago when it was still upscale dining. Now the ambiance is…read moremore of a hometown bar and grill with Wolf Pack (Go Pack!) banners all over. Nothing wrong with that but we were looking for an upscale restaurant experience like Bricks. (If you haven't tried Brinks, go, it's amazing. Our reservation was for 6p on Saturday, and we should have known something was up when we arrived and there were only a couple of people in the bar and restaurant, and no one was seated outside. The last time we were here, the place was packed and we had to wait for our reservation table. The second red flag was sitting on the uncomfortable folding chairs as the chairs they used to have were traditional high back wooden chairs. Gone also are table cloths, now you have a bare table. And the menus now are on a piece of paper. The wine selection is small, and they don't list wine bottle prices, but only per glass cost. I think again this is due to their change in what style restaurant they are now. So when I specifically ordered a bottle of wine, a glass came. The wine menu like the whole menu is small. We got two appetizers, the pork bell egg rolls and the potstickers. I have a rule of not ordering Chinese food at non-Chinese restaurants, but I ordered them anyway. The rolls appeared house made and were cooked perfectly tasty. The sauce really complimented them. The potstickers were store bought with some black sesame seeds sprinkled on top. They were eatable but nothing special. For dinner my wife got the bulgogi lettuce wraps. Very tasty and hot. If you like it hot, these are for you. I got the wild boar schnitzel, but this had problems. One it wasn't seasoned. Schnitzel needs to be seasoned prior to batter, and the flour mixture should be seasoned too. It So it was bland. It was cooked very well. The sause the placed on it however was bland and didn't add to the dish. Schnitzel should be able to stand on its own, and placing a gravy on top makes the schnitzel coating mushy. I'd consider placing that on the side and serving it with some mashed potatoes. The dish comes with no sides. So all of that was $170. The value on this meal was about $100.
