biscuits and gravy
Cora M.

Another delicious breakfast at Oine State biscuits. Got our first snow last night and the first thing on my mind for breakfast was a warm pine State biscuit in Reno. And a lot of other people had the same idea because it was a 15-minute wait but once we were able to enter and get a table number, we were able to place our order and we were served in less than 10 minutes two piping hot biscuits. We ordered the McIsley: chicken biscuit with pickles, mustard and honey. It made a beautiful picture but the mustard was a little bit too much for me. It was a spicy, grainy mustard and while the flavor was good, there was just too much of it so I would order it again but I would ask for the mustard to be cut in half at least or put on the side. The other biscuit was the Chatfield: chicken with cheese and apple butter and that was really amazing, very, very good. This is a great place and on a cold, frosty Reno morning, it was perfect. The staff is very friendly and all the customers were enjoying their breakfast. It was a great morning. Yhe restaurant is decorated very cute and was very clean. You are asked to bus your own tables. It is a great spot for brunch. One note: they do close at 2:00 p.m.

The Reggie

My family and I were in town and the kiddos wanted to have biscuits. The biscuits itself were very soft and flaky on the outside, just how I like it. The grits were good and they had a special dessert which was like an apple pop tart. The staff were nice but it took so ling to get our food. The restaurant is small, if you come with a big group, you will most likely have to sit outside.

I love the biscuits and gravy. I feel it's necessary to get a dish with biscuits given the restaurant name but I really like shrimp and grits so when I saw it on the menu I had to order it! The shrimp and grits are overall god but I felt they were a bit off. I'm used to buttery flavorful grits and these were a tad bland and drizzled with what tasted like unsalted butter. The mushrooms on top were very good and so was the shrimp. Mixed Altogether it was good but I really think the grits could be amazing.

Very nice place for lunch! Staff was attentive, communicative, and kind. I was seated right away and food came out almost immediately. The Reggie was a delicious, filling, savory breakfast sandwich. The place was clean and had the cute kitschy aesthetic.

Veggie Reggie and coffee.

I visited Pine State a few months ago - can't believe I never finished my review! I was in town for a conference, and that meant I had a chance to check out the food scene in Downtown Reno! Treated myself to a slow morning and took a short, pleasurable ramble over to Pine State from the Renaissance. It was early, just after opening time, and there was only one other person dining in - so grabbing a table was super easy. Pine State hails from Oregon originally, and the space feels like Portland or NorCal transported to Nevada. Cool, hip and funky. I was excited to have a chance to try the Veggie Reggie, being a vegetarian, biscuits and gravy a usually off limits for me. This one features a vegan breakfast patty, soy bacon, and Tillamook cheddar topped with shiitake mushroom gravy - so it was on! The Reggie came out quickly and looked amazing! Huge and oh-so decadent. I got there right at opening and I think the staff were still getting into the swing of the day, because my gravy was pretty cold, which was a disappointment - and probably muted the flavor a bit. I also appreciated the early am fine cup of coffee.

Brisket Biscuit
Tony B.

This is the second time coming and my first time leaving a review. The food is awesome and fast! The waitress had my food out before the last guy in my party of six had time to order. It's perfect for big parties because you order and pay for your plate before sitting down. No messy bill split at the end. The only thing I wish was that they offered sunny side up eggs. I asked why it's not an option and they said they flip every egg. Didn't really answer why. Great food and a tiny spot. Really homey. Mushroom gravy was bomb.

Lean brisket, eggs, tangy braised greens, and biscuit
Gil S.

Nice to have a place that mixes it up a bit with some home-style cooking. I got their new breakfast/brunch special, which came with a biscuit, a protein, two eggs, and a side. They did my over-medium eggs perfectly, and the brisket was nice and smoky and also surprisingly lean. The braised greens on the side surprised me a little with the flavor at first--I thought it was a bit too salty, but the tang seemed to come from like a vinegar flavor or something, and it kind of grew on me. Went pretty well with the other parts of the meal. I have to admit I was a little surprised the biscuit was a bit dense and dry--still tasted fresh/made, just a bit off in terms of size and taste compared to the rest of the stuff on the plate. We also got the beignets, which came with a nice bourbon sauce, but sadly a few of them weren't cooked all the way through. The interior was very bright (lots of windows) and clean, and the service team behind the counter was very pleasant. Also, I thought the price was fantastic for the special--like $14.95-for a very satisfying and overall well-made meal. We'll be back to try other stuff on the menu.

Pine state Biscuits is worth the stop it you're in area!! I got the shrimp and grits and it did not disappoint. My wife and family got the Reggie, which they demolished so I'm assuming it was delicious. The biscuit itself is soft and fluffy and pairing it with their strawberry jam was perfect. It was busy but the staff were very efficient and pleasant.

One of my wife and I's go-to for a solid, delicious meal when we're stay-cationing in Reno. Service is sometimes lukewarm depending who's there, but on our last few visits it's been stellar. Seats can be hard to come by, but never impossible in my experience. Brunch is our favorite.

We came here early Saturday morning and decided to grab a table outside after we ordered since it was a beautiful day. All the staff are very friendly amd welcoming. I went with the McIsley chicken that came with pickles and stone ground mustard all between a fresh baked biscuit. The biscuit itself was quite fluffy and tasty. The fried chicken breast was juicy and overall was a good sandwich. I would get it again without the stone ground mustard however. It has a very unique taste and it just wasn't for me. The Shrimp and Grits my wife had was some of the best we've ever had. It was our first time trying a version that included sautéed mushrooms which I thought was a nice touch. She also got fried green tomatoes, but wasn't a fan of those as the batter overwhelmed the tomatoes. This is a great option for breakfast and I would definitely come back for the food and the chill vibes.

Traveled to Reno from Genoa to bring my toddler to the Discovery museum. I was hungry for lunch and wanted to see what great places Reno had to offer. There were several places listed close by via Google, but I saw that Pine State was a 4 min walk from the museum. I'm so glad I chose to come here. Who knew Reno would have some amazing southern food?! It's a small spot with limited outdoor seating and minimal indoor seating with approximately 5-6 four tops, about the same amount of deuces, and 2 booths in the back for larger parties. You place your order at the register and they assign you a table. They do bring your food to the table, but you are expected to bus your own table. Their menu selection is huge from all their biscuit sandwiches they offer to special southern dishes to desserts and pastries. As odd as it sounds you'd think I had ordered a biscuit item, but instead I ordered: - Shrimp & Grits - Blueberry Cornmeal Pancake - Peach Cobbler Pop-Tart - Arnold Palmer Every single item I ordered was DELICIOUS!! The shrimp & grits were so tasty with a mushroom bacon gravy. I've had some of the best shrimp & grits in Atlanta, and this one comes close. Their cornmeal pancake was also delicious. My 1 1/2 yr old son pretty much ate the entire thing himself (I only had a few bites to try it) and it was probably 7.5-8" wide. It's served with butter and maple syrup. But their syrup is so thick like they reduced it down which gave it this delicious subtle molasses flavor. Ugh! My mouth is watering typing this. Last, but not least, the peach cobbler pop tart topped with an oat streusel and what looked like, marshmallow fluff. The pastry itself was so good. Flaky and buttery - you could tell their pastries are made from scratch in-house. The pastry had the proper amount of filling with lots of cinnamon peach flavor. I was so full that I only ate a third of it and brought the rest home. I regret not getting a biscuit to-go just to try. If their non-biscuit items were so delicious, I can only imagine how good their biscuits are. This place is worth the 50 minute drive for me. I would absolutely come again to try more items. You must give it a try.

Moneyball Double Down
Brandon W.

Random treat on Sunday. Wife wants to go to Pine State Biscuits...we go to Pine State Biscuits. Biscuits smothered in your choice a mushroom or sausage gravy. Think about this, where else can you get Brisket for breakfast?!? We enjoyed some wonderfully made scrambled eggs, collard greens and hash browns. The customer service is quick, the cashier and hosts are polite. Self bussing tables make for easy work. Whether indoor or outdoor, you'll enjoy the sounds of people enjoying their meal while outside, sure maybe a little bit of traffic too. Try their Diner Plate Special which is a combination of a biscuit, gravy, choice of sauce and 2 sides or The Money Ball Double Down which was an over easy egg over two biscuits and gravy. A great breakfast or brunch experience solo or with your family! I can't wait to go back and try their shrimp and grits!

The Reggie!  Nothing else compares!!
Dee B.

Back again after a decade while headed up to South Lake Tahoe. This is the greatest most delicious invention of the 21st Century. THE REGGIE is AMAZING and the sausage gravy is hearty, slightly sweet, and so delicious! Thank you for being so great with great consistency! Wish we had a location in Scottsdale! Super friendly and wonderful service each and every time. Visit their original locations in Portland- super cool vibe!

Wow. If you find yourself in Reno, jonesing for a burger, Archie's is the place to go. We aren't…read moreresidents, but come up the hill a few times a year for various events. Until this 4th of July weekend (250/2026) we had never heard of Archie's. It was recommended to us and we stopped in on Sunday the 5th for lunch on our way out of town. What an amazing choice. I ordered their bacon cheese burger. Guess what? It was GIANT. It was delicious. It was perfect. Comes with fries but I got onion rings. The onion rings were perfect too. Largest order of rings I have ever seen. The burger (1/2 Lb I think!!) had nice thick bacon in every bite, two large and fresh slices of tomato, a big old slab of an onion slice, mayo and lettuce. I can't remember if there were pickles. It was the best burger and onion rings I have eaten in at least ten years, maybe 20. We will be back, EVERY time we are in town from now on. I can't recommend this place enough. Special shout out to David, our server. This guy made no mistakes. Laughed at all my stupid dad jokes, was attentive, patient while my companions changed their minds 36 times, and was friendly too. Says it was only his 2nd day on the job, but I wish he had been working for us at our restaurant (Hokkaido Noodle House) in Sacramento. He is a pro already, give him reasons to keep working for you boss. Don't worry, we won't steal him from you, we are retired and closed our joint 10 years ago. Rock on Archie's! You have earned a few new fans today.

I went here on Sunday mid afternoon before Memorial Day so I assume many students had left town so…read morethe place was pretty empty (so service was excellent.) Was surprised it had a second floor with a small deck and pretty decent views! Big place. Great Happy Hour Deals (half off drinks) and other specials. I haven't eaten breakfast there but the burger I'd put in the top 4 in Reno. It is giant diameter wise but the meat is the same amount of a smaller thicker burger which makes it no too hard to eat. I'd call this a Purist's Burger. Crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, sauce. They went really light on the sauce to the point I didn't think it had any. Fries were excellent too. Price is very reasonable (that's typical near a college.) I've tried Royce, Juicy's, and The Parlor. I'd put Archies below Royce and Parlor but above Juicy's. Two left on my list are Armando & Son's Butcher Shop and of course Beefy's.

Was taking my son out to lunch and had been wanting to come here for some time. It's not that far…read morefrom home. Was greeted right away and told we could grab a seat either inside or out. Fortunately I had looked at the menu on line so had narrowed down my choices, because so many things looked good. He settled on the Scotch egg and a Tavern Burger. I went with a order of Beer battered onion rings and the Tavern burger also I ate almost all of my onion rings, because they were so good, that I could only finish half of my burger. (Did finish it later, enjoyed it then too) I'm looking forward to coming back soon, the Cobb salad is already calling me. They have a great outdoor seating area and the indoor area has a pool table and a shuffleboard.
