The food is good, but honestly overrated for most of the items on the menu. Our waitress was also very rude and had an unnecessary attitude which spoiled the visit a little bit and i don't feel like coming back for awhile. The coffee is absolutely excellent and will revisit just for that alone anytime i need a great cup of coffee, but not as often anymore. I completely understand people for having a bad day, but there's no excuse to be snooty with a customer when they ask how long it'll be for a fresh batch of coffee since i paid for unlimited and only had one cup before it ran out. There are also pretty long wait times and the homeless in that area can be an issue which is pretty uncomfortable especially when they enter the dining room and wonder from table to table asking for money or food. read more

Pine State Biscuits - Reno - Kicking the morning off right - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My review is a bit conflicted... Pros: loved the take on the "pop tart" and the rotating flavors of pop tarts that they have. It is pretty sweet, but delicious. The gravy really wasn't salty, and a lot of restaurants with gravy typically make it too salty, but this place did not!!! The corn meal pancake was AMAZING! The perfect crisp and flavor for the pancake. Cons: The biscuits were REALLY DRY, and this was surprising since this place is based around their dishes with biscuits. You have to bus your own table, so you clean up your dishes and table after. Parking is awful, it is downtown so you may have to park far or pay for parking at a meter. Because it is downtown, there are a lot of unhoused that hang out outside the restaurant, so that ruined a bit of the ambiance with noise levels and disturbances. I would come back, just not get their biscuits for myself. read more

Got here on a Thursday morning around 10:50am usually this place will require a wait on the weekends so come during the weekdays if you can. Still crowded but no wait today Ordered the Reggie deluxe the only difference is the fried egg on top. I forgot to specify that I wanted it over easy as my egg was cooked all the way through... probably on accident but again I'll put that on my self for now. Food is delicious as usual. They have some different hot sauces to choose from, a habanero sauce, Texas Pete hot sauce and ketchup. The habanero sauce is actually hot so if you're not in to spicey, I wouldn't even try it, the heat hits instantly . Besides that it add me a different layer of depth. Would definitely recommend, last time I've been to one was in Oregon. Parking in the area is metered parking so be prepared to feed the meter if there is a long line on a weekend, if weekday an hour should be sufficient unless you're staying around to talk and hangout with friends read more

My boyfriend's food came about half an hour after mine. Apparently they forgot about his food so when we finally asked it they brought it out and it was cold. By this time I already finished my food. After we asked about our food being late the staff seemed to be mean after the encounter so definitely not a great service experience. I got the Brisket Biscuit. The smoked brisket was completely dry and it came with mustard as the sauce. However, the side of side of gravy i bought for the extra priced helped the meal. The gravy was the only thing that tasted good. I've been to the Pine State Biscuit in Oregon and it was great so I'm disappointed this one was the exact opposite. read more

Great food, terrible service. From the moment we walked in, the experience went downhill the cashier took far too long to even acknowledge us. Despite being told a four-top was being held for a party of four, a two-person group that arrived after us was seated at a four-top behind us. It then took about 15 minutes for an actual four-person party to arrive. When we questioned it, the staff member taking our order responded with, "If it's that serious or that big of an issue, then go ahead," which was rude and dismissive. Our food was later dropped off abruptly and without professionalism. We are regular customers who frequently recommend this place, but this visit was unacceptable. The food isn't the problem the service is. read more

I brought my family here for brunch and I must say it really chill vibe. Was instantly greeted as we walked in. The lady at the register was nice and funny when I tell you everything we ordered was a hit. As a chef it's very hard to find good food, the shrimp and grits were hitting, smooth and buttery with a great addition of mushrooms that took me by surprise, but the chicken biscuit with the bacon OMG fire and what is that I taste!!! Applesauce WTH!!!! That's crazy I'm mad I never thought about that myself.... I would definitely say this is a must have... Yall are my new favorite biscuits spot... thank you... read more

I love Pine State. Everything fresh and everything is yummy. I got the Nashville Hot on my Reggie deluxe this time and i was kinda disappointed. It wasnt very Nashville and it wasnt very hot. It was spicy in comparison to their original chicken but i dont think in a blind taste test anyone would guess Nashville Hot. Food was still great as usual just wasnt what I expected from "Nashville Hot". read more

Stopped into Pine State Biscuits to grab breakfast. Cute, clean, comfortable place. You order at the front counter and pay, then get seated. Fresh OJ was yummy. Food came out quickly and looked magnificent. I ordered the Reggie Deluxe with hashbrowns and 3 eggs. I also ordered a homemade chicken pot pie and a spicy honey pimento biscuit sandwich to go. The breakfast was outstanding and the homemade habanero salsa was insane. The salsa had a great depth of flavor, not flaming hot and the manager James said it was very popular. If you are passing through Reno, don't miss this opportunity for some amazing food! P.S. The Homemade Chicken Pot Pie and Spicy Honey Pimento Biscuit Chicken Sandwich were incredible! The best chicken pot pie I have ever tasted. I baked it when I got home per instructions. YUM!!! read more

Husband and I stopped by for a nice brunch and we were not disappointed in the least bit. The food was fantastic! My husband ordered the Reggie deluxe and asked for the gravy to be 50/50 sausage/mushroom. Hands down best gravy I've ever had! It had such an umami flavor and I wanted to take the gravy home to go! I had the Chatfield smothered in an Apple butter. The savory and sweet aspect was delicious! We are definitely going back! Side note: we also tried their red velvet pop tart. It was also phenomenal! Service was friendly and informative as it is a self serve type environment. Loved the feel of the place. read more

Overhyped and Overpriced Tried this place for the first time after seeing all the great reviews. I told the cashier it was my first visit and asked for a recommendation--something with eggs and maybe sausage or bacon. She suggested the Moneyball Double with sausage. With coffee, it came out to $26 before tip. I was surprised at the price and asked to remove the sausage, which brought it down to $21 before tip. For that, it was just one biscuit (cut in half), two eggs, and gravy. The gravy was good, but honestly, there are better breakfasts in town for less--and with more food. Overall, not worth it for me. Probably won't be back. read more

I love the Hash ups! We've had the cinnamon rolls too! They took our order and we got our food in 10 minutes. We've been here before and the line is around the corner. Always a good sign for good food. Don't forget to bus your own table, but they were quick to wipe it down as soon as we left. They have seating outside and inside. They have a pop up structure for people to wait under outside if it's raining. That was new. read more

TLDR: Fluffy Biscuits! I hope you like biscuits! Because this place pretty much only serves them. It's a smallish place, but they cook the food pretty quickly. I ordered mine to go. I like how they separate the gravy from the biscuit. I didn't like how they separated the egg from the rest of the dish though. Created unnecessary packaging, plus my runny eggs were spilling all over the bag. I like the gravy... it's thick and chunky with sausage pieces. My eggs were a bit busted though, as I mentioned above. The biscuit really is the star... it's BIG, but not dense. Light and fluffy, and a little bit crunchy on the outside. My wife ordered the Ham Egg and Cheese biscuit. They REALLY pack in the ham. The ham was a little dry. What we like is the value. For $12, you REALLY get a pretty filling breakfast. Plus BISCUITS. read more

Pine State Biscuits is easily one of the best breakfast/brunch spots around. I love a good sandwich and this place elevates the concept with biscuits for bread and towering delicious toppings, as seen in their Club, Reggie, Reggie Deluxe, and McIsley. The service here is great, we've always received exactly what we ordered without issue, and relatively quickly after order placement. The place is usually pretty busy, which is very telling for a good breakfast/brunch place, and everyone seems to be in great spirits around the dining room, and how couldn't they digging into such amazing food! Ultimately, this is the spot if you're a biscuit fan, and if you love fried chicken and ranch, get the Club and do yourself a favor - my personal favorite! read more

I've driven by this place a million times and decided it was time to check it out. Easy street parking and location is conveniently located in the downtown/midtown area. Grab a menu when you walk in so you're ready to order at the counter. I went with a classic BEC- bacon, scrambled egg, and cheese biscuit. I grabbed a coffee as well--dark roast isn't my usual style but I was pleasantly surprised at the Coava option! Once you order, grab a seat and get yourself situated. My order came out within a few minutes. It was perfect. The cheese was perfectly melted but not overwhelming amount where it turns too greasy. The bacon had a good flavor to it and was crispy. The biscuit was fresh and flaky. The egg was good too. The staff is friendly and the vibe is laid back. I'm sure it gets packed on the weekends so I'm glad I got to check out a mellow morning. Don't forget to buss your table :) read more

I think this could be the gold standard of breakfast. Brunch, even. I'm honestly recalling all my previous 5-star breakfast/brunch reviews. Were those places as good as Pine State? It's not just the food, which is great. I'll get to that. The service and speed is unprecedented. Yes, you wait in line. But once we ordered, our food was out in less than 10 minutes. Already?! And it was delicious: the Reggie deluxe, complex, and not too heavy (shockingly). The sausage gravy is a well-made novelty. I loved my pancakes. Buttery, but still more flavorful thanks to the cornmeal. The peach pop tart was revelational, even though the marshmallow frosting was completely unnecessary but delicious. The biscuits of course lived up to the hype. Buttery, flaky and not sweet. Get it with jelly. I personally wasn't smitten with the bourbon cinnamon roll, though it was good. Also, the coffee is quality which is a great touch. Other places should take notes! read more

Sometimes a review is based on how the food was prepared that specific day. I'm a huge hash browns fan and the hash browns were not great at all. Not so bad that I would send them back just not very good. Ordered biscuits and gravy. The biscuit was good and the gravy had a rich flavor of mushroom and sausage. The restaurant was nice with outside seating. Perhaps a function of how busy they were but food service was very, very slow. You have to bus your own plates. Not a huge deal but for the price I would have appreciated bus service. read more

My last review, I was debating between 4 and 5 stars but ultimately went with 5. My most recent experience was without a doubt a 5, so I figured this review needed to be updated! The main reason I was considering a 4 in the past was the service and how long it takes to get your food here. There is still always a line out the door when we come but that's something they have no control over since you order at the counter. We still waited for 15-20 mins to order this time but it was SO worth it! After ordering, I had time to get my coffee and sit for a few minutes and then some of our side orders started being brought to the table already. I was very surprised at how quick they came out! We got the peach pop tarts, bourbon caramel cinnamon roll, and a biscuit with jam to share. I've decided I always have to get a pop tart when I come because they're consistently delicious. I think the peach one is my new favorite! It tasted just like a peach pie, complete with a marshmallow frosting. The cinnamon roll was rich and filling. The biscuits are made to perfection with jam that is just the right amount of sweetness. I was shocked to see our entrees come out moments later! All our food was brought out in under 10 mins this time, very impressive considering how busy they were on a Sunday morning. The Reggie Deluxe cannot be beat, it will always be my go-to order. The chicken is lightly breaded and had a slight spice to it. It's served with just enough sausage gravy to cover the sandwich and still have some for dipping. It's very filling and you won't need to eat again for several hours! Everyone in our group LOVED their food and were especially impressed with the service and timeliness of food coming out. Props to Pine State for really improving upon that compared to last time we were here, it made a big difference and we will be back again soon! read more

Wow! This place is good and affordable. Only street parking and we went on a Sunday not super busy! We will be back to try the other things. It's sorta self service but they had Benigets, pop tarts and a lot of choices as well as water on tap and this yummy bbq sauce that was self serve! read more

I visit Reno two to three times a year, and Pine Street has become a regular watering hole for me over the years. As someone who eats here consistently but not frequently, I'm well-positioned to notice changes--and I'm pleased to report a remarkable turnaround at this location. The food has always been good. Simple, soulful--what you'd expect from a brand built on biscuits and gravy. The pastries are still delightfully unrefined and decadent--those perfectly indulgent fat and sugar vehicles that hit exactly the right note. The coffee was never the draw here, and that hasn't changed. What has improved, however, is the service experience. The Pine St team clearly invested some significant time and attention into this location, bringing much-needed structure to both the ordering and food-delivery processes. On my most recent visit just a couple weeks ago, food arrived promptly and piping hot. The staff seemed energized and engaged--likely because they're now working within a system that actually functions. Gone are the days of watching plates languish under heat lamps or standing in interminable lines without service. This kind of operational turnaround takes real leadership and total buy-in from restaurant staff. Pine Street has heroically reclaimed what made it special while fixing what was broken. Reno locals and visitors alike can once again count on this being the reliable, satisfying experience it was meant to be. read more

Pine State Biscuits was a wonderful treat for breakfast on my visit in to Reno. Walking in I was greeted by the friendly employees at the counter, who then explained the ordering process to me. The menus are right in front upon walking in. Then order at the counter, pay, receive a number to put on any open table. The dining area has a nice casual atmosphere to it. I ordered: Cinnamon Roll: this was so delicious, my favorite thing I ate. Warm, sweet, and total comfort food. Chicken fried steak and biscuit: I thought the chicken fried steak was decent. They use real steak but the star of that dish was definitely the biscuit. One of the best biscuits I've had and I'll definitely try the Reggie instead next time. Pop tart: they only had a lemon ricotta rhubarb pop tart on the day I visited. It was just ok. I probably won't order it again. Food came out fast. The employees were all wonderful. And most of the items were great. I look forward to coming back again. read more

Pro: Atmosphere, decor, and food was great! The Reggie is a must. Sausage gravy is banging and the biscuits are scratch made daily. Yumm!! Con: No table service. Seat yourself and clear your table yourself. Grab a menu upon entering and order at the register. read more

There is always a line here and for good reason! Best biscuits with Marionberry jam. Everything here is fantastic. Appreciate the vegetarian options. Take some biscuits home! read more

I ordered the veggie reggie Deluxe and let me say, the portions are huge and satisfying! The vegan bacon has a nice smokey flavor and good texture. The vegan sausage isn't my favorite. It has a grainy texture and the flavor is alright. But it is a massive patty. Every other place with vegan options upcharges quite a bit for a smaller portion--- and I get it, vegan substitutes pre-made are expensive. But they don't hold back here! The staff is very kind and the wait times are pleasantly quick. The interior is full of warm wood giving a rustic, homey vibe. The windows let in lots of light, but beware it is chilly inside as a result during winter. Consider a light coat if you go. Unusual but sensible practice: you order and pay before you sit. The water is self serve and you bus your own table. No need to wait to be checked out. I have to go back again to try their sweets! A wonderful place for breakfast if you're a biscuit lover. No vegan options here though, it all has dairy unless you want just bacon or sausage. read more

My friends and I came here for breakfast on a Monday. It was decently busy with not a lot of tables available. However, we were able to order quickly at the counter and find a table to eat. Food: I ordered the biscuits and gravy with the mushroom vegetarian gravy. This was absolutely delicious. The gravy was flavorful, and the biscuits were perfect. I also ordered hashbrowns to share. The hashbrowns were good and crispy. I also tried the cinnamon roll. It was more bread like for a cinnamon roll than I am used to, but it was pretty good. Service: Service was quick and friendly. You order at the counter and are given a number to put on your table. The food is brought out to you when it is ready. The food arrived promptly as well.

This is my husbands choice for brunch, hands down. We've gone to Pine State many times since they opened years back and have always been consistent with their products. Their biscuits and gravy are always a hit. the Reggie deluxe and moneyball are my go to's, doesn't disappoint. I've tried the shrimp & grits which is also yummy. Today I tried the bbq Carolina pull pork biscuit which is exactly what it sounds like. I think I was expecting more given that I was used to the heaviness of the other dishes I've tried in the past. Although the pull pork and the bbq sauce was delicious, it left me hungry. I tried to order the shrimp & grits after I finished my biscuit, but they were out of it! Their desserts as delicious! I've had their pop tarts and I will always order them everytime we eat here. The pop tart filling changes and yesterday it was a fig pop tart. The crust is baked perfectly and the filling was warm and sweet giving me holiday vibes. For a Thursday in between Christmas and new years it was pretty busy but an even flow of customers much of which were from out of town. A number of cars parked outside were from California. I love the style of pine state: order, find a table, self serve water, coffee, condiments, utensils and napkins, and bus your own table. My favorite rule is not to save tables, before you order as this helps with the flow of people dining in. If you're in the area, looking for a brunch place with comfort food. This is it! read more

turned out to be a hitter a Reno must stop for us. Their biscuits are pretty damn good with their different butters and extensive menu. Here is a brisket biscuit. Honestly would pass next time. Brisket was dry AF all lean meet decently smoked. With the grilled onions and Carolina sauce was doable. Had the Reggie before like that route better for next time and will try another different sando. Just the biscuit alone with jam or apple butter and a drink will do you good. Behind is the Hash! Bomb. Good to share with 3-4 ppl for sure. Crispy cheesy tender with some good shrooms. And back right. Probably my fav pancakes ever. Blue berry corn meal pancake. Was so good. Buttery, light, crispy, fruity with th perfect amount of tart and balance with that real maple syrup. Fire . Their seasonal pop tarts are usually a hit. No complaints after 3 different ones through the years. Service is always super nice whether their new or they are the owners of the joint. Always there to help. Always been a great atmosphere they have indoor and outside seating. It's a cute little spot. Been there with a group of 2, 4 an 8 they have been accomadating to all. Great place overall and great little change of pace on usual breakfast/brunch fast casual spot. 4.6 100% recommended trying. read more

The spot that always has me coming back when I'm in Reno. I absolutely love "The Reggie". This is my third time here and it's always so good. Got to try the blueberry pancakes, The Reggie, & their seasonal pop tart! They had a peach cobbler pop tart and wow was that good! I loved the icing with the brown sugar oats. It was the best sweet treat during my last visit. Food is super filling. Portions are good. I loved both the sausage and mushroom gravy but this last time I tried the mushroom gravy and I think it's won me over. Sorry sausage... the bacon in the Reggie is insane. I love this place. Staff here is very friendly! It's a serve yourself water, bus your table kind of deal. They bring out your food. It's always a good time here! They always have a good playlist going on too so whoever's back ther playing Cleo sol...I love it! Plenty of seating inside and outside! read more

I saw their Oregon location on DDD and wished I lived in Oregon, thankfully for us they have a location in Reno so we stopped in for breakfast and it didn't disappoint!! We ordered the biscuits and mushroom gravy and another biscuit with the homemade strawberry jam and I had to try the pimento cheese (which was excellent!!). We also ordered one of their homemade pop tarts to go. The Elvis, peanut butter, banana and chocolate! Wow, who knew the silly childhood pastry's could be so good!! All the food was tasty! Service was fast and everyone was friendly. We arrived right as they opened so it was quiet with a couple customers trickling in. But based on the food I'm sure they get pretty busy throughout the day. If you love biscuits, these are some of the best! We will be back! read more
