    Old Granite Fashion
    Adam R.

    1/23 So we were out on a Friday night a group of us coming from a yelp event that did not involve food so we needed somewhere to eat. A couple of places were really busy due to it being a Friday night, but we came across this place and it was not very crowded. We had a party of seven we were greeted immediately and sat. Megan C was our server and she was amazing. SERVICE was really good. Ambience was cool. Very laid-back. I ordered the blazin burger with sweet potato waffle fries, and it was delicious. I also had an old granite fashioned (old fashion)and it was delish . Wife had the honey garlic chicken sandwich and a salad and she really enjoyed. We had a very nice time with all of our friends and everybody really enjoyed the food. Definitely would go back to Try some other stuff. Enjoy !!!!

    Fish and Chips
    John M.

    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.

    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 ‍

    Bison burger
    Mike S.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    We were meeting some friends for dinner in Reno and they suggested Liberty Food & Wine Exchange…read more Overall, we're glad that they did...here is what we noticed: - The food menu was pretty broad, with a range of differently priced items, e.g., full dinners at $40+ while pizzas were in the $20's. There was a list of specials for the day too. - For a place that has "wine" in the name, I thought the wine list was a bit limited/uninspired...the reds, for example, were heavily focused on CA wines, with a few Italian ones thrown in. - My wife and I ordered the Bee Sting Pizza, the Pistachio Pesto Arancini, and the Wedge Salad...all to share between the two of us. While everything was good, the Wedge Salad was the standout, with the Arancini's a close second (and a great sized portion). One of our friends ordered the Salmon special, and it looked good but pretty small in size considering the ~$40 price tag. - Service was good. There was a mess up where the server didn't hear our friend's order correctly and brought the wrong item, but she fixed it although it meant that he didn't his food for a while after the rest of us started eating. It was an honest error, but it would be good if the staff were empowered to do some kind of goodwill gesture, e.g., a free drink, a free appetizer while he's waiting for the food, etc., when something like that happens. - There was a weird thing that happened on our bills...the total that was on the itemized bill that we got from our server didn't match up with the pre-transaction processing fee total that was on our credit card copy...and, unfortunately, our server couldn't explain why. And, yes, there is a 2.5% credit card transaction fee added on (which we didn't see on the menu or anywhere else, but we learned about when we got the itemized bill). - Vibe is just ok...it's pretty loud and the tile floor and tables/chairs felt a little cafeteria-like. I wouldn't call it cozy by any means. Bottom line: Liberty Food & Wine Exchange was a nice place to meet up and the food was tasty...when I asked my wife if she would go back again, her answer was that we should try other places first, which is probably what we'll do.

We were seated on the…read morepatio almost immediately, waters arrived right away, and the service remained friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The riverside setting made for a relaxing atmosphere and was a great place to spend a summer afternoon. We started with the Crab & Salmon Cakes, and they were outstanding. The presentation was beautiful, and each cake had a perfectly crisp exterior while remaining delicate inside. You could clearly taste both the crab and salmon, and the slightly spicy aioli complemented them perfectly without overpowering the seafood. For cocktails, I ordered the Tequila Mockingbird, and it was excellent. The mezcal's smoky flavor came through clearly, almost reminding me of a good Scotch, yet it had just enough sweetness to keep it balanced. If you enjoy spirit-forward cocktails that aren't overly sweet, I'd highly recommend it. My wife ordered the Razz Jazz and later the Rosé All Day. She loved the Razz Jazz, describing it as refreshing, lightly sweet, and lemony, with enough alcohol flavor to remind you it's a cocktail without being overpowering. The Rosé All Day was another refreshing choice and perfect for a warm afternoon on the patio. For lunch, we ordered the French Dip and the Tri-Tip Sandwich. The French Dip was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the rich au jus. The Tri-Tip Sandwich was loaded with smoky, well-seasoned beef on fresh bread. It was a bit richer than I personally prefer, but the quality of the meat was undeniable. The fries were a standout in their own right, perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and seasoned just right. Wild River Grille isn't the least expensive lunch in town, but the quality of the food, expertly crafted cocktails, attentive service, and beautiful riverside patio made it feel well worth the price. We'll definitely be back.

We sat for about 10 minutes before another group was sat at the front by the door and then once that group got their waiter so did we. Apparently the waiter was also the bartender and the hostess did not notify her that we were there nor did she take a look. I ordered a burger well done which was was medium well when it got to me. I did have to sent it back and unfortunately due to the service etc. I decided to just pay for our drinks and leave. This was an unfortunate first impression, maybe I will try again and sit outside and hopefully get a better experience.

    It was such a beautiful day.... where can we eat outside?…read more I found "The Spot", its in the old Smee's location on the river. When we showed up, we asked if we could sit at a table outside, the guy was a little overwhelmed, he said "I can sit you in 10 mins". I said "can we have this table". OK, but....just know I'll be with you as soon as I get caught up, I'm totally fine with that I said. . He bought us a couple menus to look over. Then a table on the railing with shade opened up, I didn't care about the table was dirty with dishes, so we decided to move. I love to look at the river and watch the people go by. The server said, I'll be over soon! He was never so happy when Sierra showed up to help him out. He came over to our table I said "I hope you don't mind, I moved to be in the shade, I know I'm one of those pain in the ass customers". Then he started joking with me and it was the perfect ice breaker. My server and part owner's name is Casey! He is an awesome guy and such a hard worker to ensure his customers are taken care of. I love that. We had a couple beers, he has quite the selection of beers on tap, he supports the community breweries such as Lead Dog and Revisions. My husband had the breakfast burrito $13, it was huge with homemade tortilla chips with salad and guacamole. I had the fish and chips. You get three large pieces of fish, fries and yummy coleslaw. I love how they put the tater sauce and ketchups in personal cups for you that shows class. My fish was absolutely delicious better than the old Smees and especially the new location. You get a nice meal for $20. They have indoor, outdoor, bar seating. They have a little merch area and a gaming bar if you feel lucky.

I was definitely in the mood to try something new. After some searching The Spot is what caught our eye. Located by the river and where Reef and Smees used to be. including what you ordered or used, Since this was a new spot we decided to just order and share a ton of appetizers. This included: cup of cream of mushroom soup, pretzel bites, spinach dip, poutine fries and Brussel sprouts. 2/5 were a huge hit where the orders we would not try again. Cup of mushroom soup: cup size is a good appetizer portion, good mushroom taste but WAY too salty. Would not order again. Pretzel bites: SUPER YUM! Slightly crunchy at the corners and fluffy inside. Perfectly bite sized and great dips (cheese and mustard). Loved these and would absolutely order again. Spinach dip: not a fan. The one thing I did like about this is that the dip portion was extremely generous, but I was not a fan of the taste. For me it was like slightly watered down sour cream. You have the options of chips or baguette. We went with baguette and for the first time in my life, the dipping vessels were very scant compared to the amount of dip so if anyone orders this, I would recommend it with chips. Would not order again. Poutine fries: YUM! Definitely a shareable portion. Thin fries topped with yummy breaded cheese curds and piping hot gravy this was my favorite thing. The gravy was perfectly salted and I loved the breaded cheese curds. I do wish the fries were thicker, like a wedge cut but honestly these were insanely good. Will order again. Brussel sprouts: made with bacon which is always a must for that yummy flavor. Also drizzled with balsamic which is a win in my book. These were very tender and delicious but very oily or greasy which kind of gave me the ick but flavor was definitely there. Will not order again. We were seated immediately upon arriving and waters were brought out. Orders were taken quickly and food came out quick! However after the food came out, no one came to check on us, see how we were doing or clear plates. We were always having to flag someone down for refills, napkins and the check. It wasn't busy. The inside is clean, has a large bar area and outdoor seating. Also lots of TVs. I don't think I'll be returning, but I do recommend the poutine fries and pretzel bites. Things to note: Have to walk up stairs to enter. No private parking lot, have to street park and a lot of parking is metered. 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday - Saturday & free on Sundays / holidays.

Usually, there is a set three-course menu during Reno Food and Drink Week where you can pick between two appetizers and two entrees, and it comes with a dessert. The regular menu is also available to order from. From the times I've been here, I've gone with a co-worker and my sister and we usually pick each item from the set menu to experience both the dishes. Everything was delicious and the drinks were great. The server and bussers were also attentive and nice.

    We enjoyed our first visit to Reno bar and Grill. The menu…read morehas quite a few Cajun options, which is something new and different you don't see everyday in Reno.. I ordered the steak fritters, which was a wonderfully seasoned New York I believe with chimichurri that was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth along with the crispy fresh home fries - this dish was a win. I would order again and again, and my husband said he would go back for after tasting. My husband got the jambalaya, which was a combination of chicken, shrimp and andouille sausage that was flavored perfectly and that he really enjoyed particularly the sausage that was used in the dish. We also saw some wonderful looking pizzas coming out of the oven and burgers that we would try on a next visit - but the steak will be hard to turn down. They were busy this night with a lot of people coming in and we had to wait a bit for a table, but the service did the best to keep up that they could. The bar area was rustic and had a great menu and vibe - I would've even enjoyed eating at the bar, but we opted for a table. We wanted to save room for their homemade ice cream, but we will have to try this next time.

The atmosphere was great--definitely a place I'd recommend for a date night. Joseph was our server, and he did an excellent job helping me navigate my gluten allergy. He was knowledgeable about the menu and made the ordering process easy. I had the Reno Burger and loved the melted cheese served alongside it--it was such a fun touch. We also ordered the meatballs, and they were outstanding. They were packed with flavor, and the portion size was just right. Between the great service, delicious food, and comfortable atmosphere, we'll definitely be back.

    This place is so UNDERRATED! Such a peaceful atmosphere, consistent food, and chill staff; I can't…read morebelieve that Washoe Public House isn't getting the hype it deserves! 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.

    Elk Chops, Kangaroo Philly Cheese Steak, Boar Schnitzel or Scottish Eggs, if you are looking for…read more"different" you can have it at the Washoe Public House. Situated in Mid-Town, it is conveniently located near the River and an easy walk to to the Pioneer Center. Have no fear, there is quite normal food fare in addition to the more exotic. We went with a large group, so we were able to sample the exotic and the more traditional. Starting with the Double Elk Chops, featured on Dives, Diners and Drive-Ins, the Elk is a bit on the gamey side, tender with a hint of lamb taste but a finish of liver, it is not for everyone. Scottish Eggs is a soft boiled egg, wrapped in sausage, then deep fried. It is served with a beer mustard. My friend, from England, was quick to order the Scottish Eggs. He reported that they were a bit over cooked but otherwise fine. 6/10. The Kangaroo Philly Cheese Steak sounds more exotic than the taste. For this sandwich I would have appreciated a bit more Kangaroo :-) but otherwise was good. Our friends seemed to enjoy the Boar Schnitzel and the portion was certainly large, as were all the portions at the Washoe Public House. The Short Ribs were so tended and a just a touch on the sweet side. My wife liked the sweetness but as a full meal, it was a bit sweet for my palate. I had the Washoe Burger with Bacon. A solid burger. I would have preferred my patty a bit less cooked but it was fine none the less. Rich with flavor, a solid choice. The fries were good. Nothing spectacular. It you are looking for different, Washoe Public House just might be the ticket. Fantastic cuisine, located close to the River and other entertainment.

    What happened to the theme days? And the hiring standards?…read more I used to frequent Twin Peaks weekly for a multitude of reasons - the wings are the best from a sports bar in Reno, the ICE cold beer, Whisky selection, the great service, and - of course - the atmosphere, but have minimized going to maybe once a month. TP Reno started off great. A great sports bar experience found in any of their locations, nationwide. Now? The food quality is a roller coaster. Gone are the theme days/weekends outside of the way overdone cowboy/rodeo Fridays. Gone are the hiring standards - yes, corporate has standards set. If it were not for some (definitely not all) of the great servers/bar tenders - Danica, Willow, Lucci, Brooke and a couple of others - along with the ice cold beer, and all the TVs, TP Reno would be just another average sports bar... The owners need to step it back up, or this will be just another failed restaurant due to poor leadership.

    Well, Twin Peaks is quite an interesting restaurant. There isn't a single male server, and all the…read morefemales are required to wear as little clothing as possible, especially in the cigar lounge. Those girls must wear, if you call it, underwear or lingerie. Shane is the manager, a really nice, down-to-earth kind of guy. He runs a tight ship and knows his business like the back of his hand. The food is pretty good, affordable, and tasty. If a big game or sports event is scheduled to be televised, you won't be able to get near the place. So be prepared. Otherwise, the place is huge with plenty of seats. The food is always consistent, with many items from scratch. My suggestion is to give it a try. Whether by yourself or with a bunch of friends over some beers. Oh, by the way, it's got a huge bar surrounded by T.V.'s to kick back and watch your favorite event. Give it a try. You just might like the place.
