Their food recommendations were spot on, and every dish I've tried so far has exceeded my expectations. You can tell they truly care about creating a great experience for their guests. Thank you to the entire team for making my visit so enjoyable. It was time and money very well spent, and I can't wait to come back. read more

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. read more

The food here is bomb, I love a good breakfast sandwich. HIGHLY recommend trying one of their pop tarts, I've had a couple and all of them have been to die for, I truly think the seasonal pop tarts are what keep me coming back. The only downside is their weird seating rules. I was in a party of 2 and they would not ring us up until a table for 2 opened up as I did not want to sit at the bar. For context there were multiple areas for parties of 4 and I found that a little annoying. I think what they should have done was sit us at a party of 4 table and move us if there was a party of 4 waiting and only a table for 2 available. read more

In order to sit you order first. Good biscuit and the mushroom gravy was really good. The hash brown plate was good I enjoyed the onions and mushrooms and hash browns were extra crispy. The sausage patty was a bit dry . My friend had the Spicy Pimento Chicken Sandwich , it was spicy enough and had a lot of acidity. They enjoyed it. Nice spot in Reno. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Such a great place - continues to have biscuits to die for. Service was super fast. My tip is to go for lunch instead of breakfast as the line isn't nearly as long and seating is a breeze. I'd love to see tator tots or potato hash instead of fries - the fries are mid but everything else is over the top incredible so it all balances out! read more

Wow the biscuits and gravy were absolutely delightful! The sausage gravy had a good amount of sausage and weren't too salty. The cashier suggested I try both gravies, and I'm glad I did. The biscuits are definitely the best part of the dish, they were soft, moist and chewy. They were so delicious I offered some to our entire table so everyone could try them. Husband had the blueberry pancakes. The portions here are generous! Be sure to order first, and then grab a table. Food comes out quickly and service was great. Can't wait to eat here again on our next trip to Reno. Btw, parking is all on the street. But it wasn't too hard to find a spot. read more

If you have not hit this gem for Breakfast when in Reno, your loss. Its a cozy little place thats always busy, if you go, bring your wallet, and your appetite , while the prices skew towards upscale, the portions and flavors are even bigger. The Brisket Biscuit is usually my goto, but we came later in day and Brisket was out, so I gave the Reggie Deluxe a spin. Food came out quick, and it was fantastic. Large Fresh viscuit with a large piece of fried chicken, a fried egg and cheddar cheese with sausage gravy. Everything was fresh & flavored well, word bote, the gravy is on the sweeter side but still great. The hash browns were crisp(just how I love them), and the Grits with Honey Butter and cheese were probably my favorite of all the bites. read more

Cute little breakfast spot with an order-at-the-counter setup and self serve coffee. The biscuits and gravy were good, biscuits were soft, not dry. My son had the Reggie sandwich, he thought the gravy was a bit overpowering, so ordering it on the side might have been better to dip the sandwich in. The blueberry pancake was just okay, but the tri-tip hash brown breakfast plate was the star! We added protein- smoked brisket and it was nice juicy and tender Friendly staff and cute decor made it a great breakfast stop. read more

Cute location in midtown next to Doppo. Exterior seating with some cover and very airy, bright and clean interior. Take a menu and order before getting a table. Service helpful and friendly. Obviously biscuits are a feature so tried The Moneyball, biscuits with sausage gravy and an over easy egg on top. Pretty solid. Nice fluffy biscuit, perfectly cooked egg and an interesting take on gravy... a little bit tangy which balances out the creaminess. Also ordered beignets with powdered sugar. Generous portion size but they were much heavier on the inside than traditional New Orleans beignets (more like a doughnut with a slightly crunchy outside). Also, because they were so dense a few were not fully cooked in the middle. The fully cooked ones were tasty. Overall a nice relaxing stop for lunch. read more

My husband found this place on yelp. He enjoyed his meal while I did not. My sausage patty had an odd taste to it and I had asked for my fries to be extra crispy, which they weren't. He gave it a 4 since the mushroom gravy was delicious while I gave it 3 stars. I feel like it was the most uneventful breakfast as was their biscuit. I thought the star of the show would be amazing but it was just average at best and too dry for me. read more

Pine State Biscuits definitely delivers. I ordered the build your own breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg, and apple butter jam, and it was a great combination of savory and slightly sweet. The biscuit itself really stood out light, flaky, and not overly salty, which made it the perfect base for the sandwich. Everything tasted fresh and well balanced.Customer service was wonderful, and the space had a lot of natural light, giving it a bright and welcoming feel. It's easy to see why this place is a popular choice for both breakfast and lunch. Definitely a spot I'd return to. read more

Of course they have more to choose from on the menu.

I had a great overall experience at Pine State Biscuits and would definitely come back, with a few notes. The facility was clean and welcoming, and the person at the register was genuinely friendly and helpful. I also loved the vibe--there's some really cool swag and decor on the walls that adds character to the space. Bonus points for having a solid selection of hot sauces available. Food-wise, there were some real highlights. The cinnamon roll with bourbon glaze was super yummy--honestly, it didn't even need frosting. I also tried the blueberry lemon cornmeal pancakes, which were excellent. I grabbed a peanut butter & jelly pop tart for later; the flavor was good, but the crust was a bit too chewy for my taste. I was hoping for more crunch and a stronger peanut butter flavor. For the mains, I had The Reggie Deluxe. It was good, but the gravy was surprisingly skimpy, which was a bit of a letdown. A biscuit dish like that should be absolutely smothered in gravy. We also tried the brisket biscuit--it was good, but not particularly memorable. The biggest disappointment, though, was the biscuits themselves. They were just okay and lacked flavor--like they needed more salt or butter. I couldn't help but compare them to biscuits I remember from places like KFC years ago or even Knott's Berry Farm--those had a richness and flavor that these didn't quite match. All in all, it was still a great experience. Friendly staff, clean space, and good food overall--just a few tweaks away from being truly outstanding. read more

I visited Pine Street Biscuits on a Sunday at noon. It was decently busy, but it's such a quick turnaround place that we were able to get a table within minutes. I had originally come in very excited to try the Veggie Reggie, but they were out of veggie patties. We ordered The Moneyball with half mushroom and half sausage gravy and the open-faced turkey sandwich special, which came with mushroom gravy. Overall, the biscuits were delicious. Between the two types of gravy, the sausage was my favorite, but the mushroom was a good vegetarian option. Overall, Pine Street Biscuits is a great breakfast option in downtown Reno. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! read more

I found this place in its home of origin, Portland Oregon. Loved it there. Was thrilled to see a. Outpost closer to home. And it felt almost exactly the same as the Portland locations. You definitely leave Reno behind for the Pacific Northwest once you step inside the building. I managed to arrive between rush's, but we witnessed several while dining. The line moves quickly. The biscuits are the obvi choice, but don't sleep on the quiche or hashbrowns either. The pimento cheese spread was a fun ode to their southern routes and quite tasty on the fresh biscuit. Crunchy on the outside, soft as a pillow on the inside. There's a reason it's the star of the show. Service was quick. Condiments and silverware were readily available and they cleared our table as our plates were emptied. Def would recommend. read more

One of the servers assigned us a table while we were in line and our food came out promptly after ordering. I really enjoyed the Shitake Mushroom Biscuit and Gravy.

We shared as a table some extra hashbrowns topped with mushrooms/cheese. Service was super nice and accommodating considering we had baby and stroller. In and out in less than an hour. I had myself 3 cups of coffee super good Colombian roast. Everything was well munched definitely enjoyed the CPC (cleaned plate club). With tips all 6-9 dishes/drinks cost $70.

It had been a while since we'd eaten at Pine Street Biscuits, and we were in the mood for something a little out of the ordinary for lunch, so we stopped in. I ordered the Reggie with shiitake mushroom gravy, and Paul went with the Chatfield. The chicken breast was hot and crunchy, although a bit salty for my taste. The biscuits were buttery and tender, just the way they should be. Parking can be a challenge, so keep that in mind. One more note about tipping: the minimum option was 22 percent, which feels high for a spot that's mostly self-service aside from ordering and paying. read more

What an absolute banger of a find. It's next to impossible to find a good southern biscuit this far west, but Pine State has it figured out. I tried the McIsley (fried chicken, dill pickles, ground mustard, honey) and nearly passed out from pure bliss. The biscuit is golden brown on the outside while warm and pillowy within. You'll need a fork and knife, but the menagerie of sweet and savory building blocks will come together any which way you deconstruct it. My wife tried The Chatfield (fried chicken, cheddar, bacon, apple butter) and was equally content. The Oregon Marionberry jam was a tart yet sweet customized side, and I much enjoyed the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese to round off the plate. The breading is evenly blasted with seasoning and the tomatoes themselves are plump but not the least bit soggy. Without a doubt though, the service was unmatched. They handled a line going out the front door with class, getting us tables before we even ordered to remove the burden of seat searching and our food getting cold. They checked on the dining area promptly though they didn't have to. The staff's hospitality matches the southern inspo of the food! We sat outside and enjoyed the slight breeze as the heavenly baked aromas of the kitchen wafted outside. Overall, an 11/10 experience. Love biscuits? Run, don't walk! read more

I ordered from here before and remembered enjoying it, so I was looking forward to eating here instead of taking it to go . Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to that first experience. The atmosphere just wasn't very inviting, and the biggest disappointment was the silverware it was visibly dirty. That's something that's hard to overlook, especially at a sit-down restaurant. The food was decent. and based on my previous visit, I know they can make a good biscuit. It almost feels like this might be one of those places that's better suited for takeout than dining in. The gentleman that took our order must have been having a bad day the service was brass to say the least . For me, the overall experience just didn't justify another dine-in visit, so if I ever have Pine State Biscuits again, it'll probably be to-go. read more

Been a while but wanted a Pine State biscuit today. One of best breakfasts in Reno. Huge selection but settled on blueberry corn meal pancakes and the Reggie. Three large, fluffy, mouth watering pancakes, dusted with powdered sugar and served with butter and syrup. You can add sausage or bacon for an upcharge. Absolutely delicious. And the Reggie, oh my goodness. Large chicken breast marinated in lemon and herbs On a huge, flakey biscuit with cheddar cheese and a choice of mushroom or sausage gravy. Can't describe adequately how good this is. Beer, wine and other libations are available along with very tasty coffee. If you haven't made it here, do it! Only open til 2. read more

Pine State Biscuits in Reno has a casual, welcoming vibe with big windows that fill the space with natural light and wood accents that make it feel rustic and relaxed. It is not a huge place, so it can get crowded during peak hours, but it has that easy neighborhood breakfast spot feel. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table, which keeps things straightforward. The staff were friendly and efficient, even with a busy morning crowd. We ordered the Chicken Fried Steak plate, the Blueberry Cornmeal Pancakes, and the McIsley. The chicken fried steak was a letdown since the meat was chewy and stringy, it lacked the crunchy crust you want, and it felt dry instead of juicy. The pancakes, on the other hand, were fluffy with a nice texture from the cornmeal and bursts of sweetness from the blueberries. The McIsley, with fried chicken, pickles, and honey mustard, was the standout, hitting all the right savory and tangy notes. The food overall leaned into hearty comfort, but the steak definitely missed the mark. Will definitely come back and try their other dishes. read more

Pine State is one of my favorite places! I used to go to the Portland State Farmer's Market on Saturdays. Some of my fondest memories from college! Now on to the biscuits... I live in Las Vegas, but I have travelled a good amount to the Reno/Sparks area and love to go to Lake Tahoe. I have gone out of the way and above and beyond for these biscuits. Fortunately my husband is a lover, so not a hard sell. I am not a breakfast, fried chicken, or biscuit girlie, but a simple fried chicken biscuit with honey butter is my #1. Everyone I know loves the Reggie if you're a biscuits and gravy lover. The mimosas and Bloody Mary's are on point as well. I would kill if the owner would open up one in Las Vegas! I've told anyone I know who lives in the area or who is visiting to try this place. It's amazing with friendly staff and in the chill midtown area of Reno. If you're ever looking to expand down to Las Vegas, I promise to share the passion and I have 10+ years of restaurant management experience :) read more

First time at this cool little joint. You walk in an order. They will give you a number tent to place on your table. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside. We ordered two bloody Mary's and the Cinnamon roll with bourbon glaze. However, they offer some AMAZING looking biscuit sandwiches that are loaded to the ceiling! Topped with eggs, cheese, all kinds of different meat options, these sandwiches would be hard for many to even come close to finishing. Our Bloody Mary's were severely lacking flavor. While they came with a nice garnish of cocktail onion, peppers and two half slices of bacon, they were weak on the vodka and low on taste. They would have won me over by just using Zing Zang for their mixer as the blend they used was quite underwhelming and flavorless. This was more disappointing once you see the price per drink! $32.98 for two bland drinks and a fancy donut. Pricey. I'll be back for a trial of the biscuit sandwiches to see how that goes with an updated review for y'all. read more
