The restaurant has great food, and helpful, friendly staff. It's an upbeat place and fun to talk and enjoy each other's company. They support law enforcement, first responders and military... One of, if not the best places to eat breakfast or lunch in town. read more

I go there for breakfasts whenever I can, and they are always very good. And the service is equally good, very pleasant people and they make sure they are doing everything they can to make you happy and then leave you to your meal, and the meals are always very good. A great place to stop and relax and enjoy the food and the service. The kind of place you will want to return whenever you can. And you'll leave with a smile. Arlene C. 3/29/24 read more

Great food, great service! Really needs a good cleaning. Back room extremely dirty, dead flies and dust, shades are filthy. At the entrance the cigarette butts and empty cigarette packages are scattered around. Not very appetizing. Put empty cans at least maybe smokers can put their butts in. (Cigarette butts) Please clean up so we can enjoy the great food! read more

Best place for breakfast in Dayton. Always great service, food and atmosphere. We've been coming here for years and it never disappoints!

Food was not worth the overinflated prices. Very dirty inside. Appears floors, counters etc. have never been cleaned. Could be a very cute diner if cleaned, painted, etc. The worst part was the gentleman who took our order had what appeared to be open sores on his arms. Was wiping them with napkins. He also had what appeared to be sores on his scalp. He was wiping at them with open hands and then serving food to people. YUCKKKKK. We will NOT be going back. read more

Great little hole in the wall find with great food and friendly, prompt service. They tend to run out of some of the favorites so it's best to go in with a backup plate in mind. Only open for breakfast and lunch. read more

The juiciest mouth watering thick meat and cheese burgers will knock your socks off! Can't wait to wrap my lips around one of these greasy boys. Fantastic doesn't begin to describe how this place makes us feel. read more

Roadrunner Cafe - Imagine having all that juicy meat in your mouth! Oh my oh my I can't wait to gobble down one of these bad boys. - American Near Me - Dayton, Nevada

I was looking for a good old fashion breakfast. I was not disappointed. I was a little skeptical when I drive up. The staff was very friendly and knew most of their patrons by name. The waitress even turned down the ceiling fan for a customer. Before he asked knowing that it was the only booth open. I loved my corned beef and hash. The service was great. It truly is a hometown favorite. If I lived in the area I would come back again to try the hamburger. read more

Husband and I stopped in on our way home, we always pass this place but have never been inside--we were missing out! It's very clear that everything is homemade, after a bite of simple scrambled eggs I was in love, the bacon was amazing, French toast was of bakery quality, I am still very impressed! Husband got a meat lovers burrito, after a bite he was over the moon, and he can be very picky! This is hands down our new favorite breakfast place, I can't wait to come back and try their lunch menu, and try everything else for breakfast! read more

Dinner / Dive for sure. I'm kind of a stickler on clean places to eat. This is not one of them. Parking is super easy, they have gravel lot.... park anywhere. We were there about 10:00 with 6 of us, including 2 kids. Seating was simple.... seat yourself. The table was dirty and not set for us, when I told the waitress she was super apologetic and came over right away to get it taken care of for us. The floors and chairs were Disgusting and incredibly dirty. No vegan items on the menu... but they were very accommodating by allowing me to create my own dish. I had a breakfast burrito with hashbrowns and all the veggies. I asked to have fresh tomatoes instead of cooked, they just left those off. I got a side of house potatoes and sour dough toast. 8.99 my husband got the sausage, biscuits and gravy. He said the b&g were ok but the sausage had a weird taste...... almost like it was chicken or turkey sausage. He wouldn't order that again. The waitresses came over often to check on us and our food came in an average time , pipping hot! This is defiantly a locals only dive cafe. If we are meeting people there, we would go again... but not if we had other options. Just sayin. read more

Always delicious. Service is great. Experience is always engaging and fun. Always busy but I never regret the wait.

Really need to get an Air conditioner.! The pancakes are delicious. Make sure you order your bacon cooked well .

We stopped in here on our way back from touring around Virginia City. That was a tourist trap waste of time, but that's another story. I found the Roadrunner café and the reviews looked good. Though mostly for breakfast, we were here for lunch. We sat in a nice booth, the counter seats seemed like for the locals. All the rest of the reviews seem like they were for breakfast. Service was right there and friendly and water was served. I decided on the Mushroom Swiss Burger and my friend had the Patty Melt, both orders with fries. They were both around $8.50 each. Our food arrives and both burgers look fab. Generous amounts of fries is always a good thing. The burgers were made with 1/3 lb. patties and my Swiss cheese was nice and melted covered with sautéed mushrooms. I forgot I shudda asked for grilled onions too, but oh well. My friend really like the Patty Melt, with just the right crunch of a coarse rye bread buttered and grilled. Our fries were crisp and tasty too. This was a good stop to make. I don't know if I'll be back, but if I ever get back to this area, I'd stop in here for lunch for sure. Most people seemed to have breakfast, but the lunch sandwiches are great too. It's great to find these little "hole in the wall" places on a road trip. read more

So let me start by saying I have been craving a real breakfast burrito for weeks now, and have not been able to find one. You know how that goes when you want something specific but can't seem to find the place to satisfy? Well, thankfully for me - this place satisfied! The location is very homey, and close. It's not a large location so that's something to keep in mind if you bring a large group, I'd say 3 or more. But that doesn't detract from the attentiveness of the waitress. There is only one waitress, but she is amazing. Her ability to interact with children, the frequency she checks on everyone, and her general demeanor is awesome. I could even go as far as to say her attitude is infectious, she's just so damn happy! Now, one thing that was very awesome to me was the willingness for them to make our needs met. I had my three kids and sometimes ordering food for them is difficult. We ordered the French toast sandwich for our two youngest - 3 slices of French toast, 2 eggs, and either 2 sausage or 2 bacon. She offered to separate it so we wouldn't have to do so when we got the food. That was immediately helpful, as it's always a hassle to try and adequately separate their food. Both of them are almost everything on their plate, which is astounding since they never have big appetites, so you can see how good it was. Then my oldest got the pancake sandwich - similar to the French toast sandwich, but two whole-plate-sized-pancakes instead. I swear they were as big as her face if not bigger! She ended up having left overs but loved what she had. Then my boyfriend had an omelet but with no meat. The waitress said since he wasn't having meat, he could have any other addition for free. That was pretty damn cool, because he's used to spending a lot for meatless options! He had no complaints about his omelet. Then to my breakfast burrito. I got a bacon breakfast burrito, added the hash browns inside, and mushrooms. Good grief was this amazing! I was so happy to finally have my craving satisfied! The ONLY complaint I have and what dropped my review to 4 stars - drinks do NOT have free refills. Since there were five of us, with five drinks, and four got refills - that hiked the price up REALLY quick. The big part, we weren't even notified that refills were the cost of a full priced drink. Other than that, I'm very satisfied! read more

Roadrunner Cafe - Sitting at the counter at the Roadrunner Cafe. Pure local energy. Great coffee and nice people - American Near Me - Dayton, Nevada

We ate here years ago and we were excited to come back and see if it was still as good They did not disappoint! The ladies are so nice. Now this place is kinda small. So u may wait for a seat when u arrive. However I haven't had to wait very long. We were seated immediately and placed our drink orders. We were seated in a booth that had like two tables put together and made into one booth. So it seemed like we were far from my dad and his wife and it was hard to hear each other at times when we talked bcz there were other people near us and they were kinda loud. No biggie. The menu is a great menu with plenty of choices. Being breakfast I opted for pork chips and eggs with hash browns. My wife had a ham and spinach omelette. I also opted for a biscuit with gravy instead of toast. The food arrived pretty quickly and smelled amazing. I was even happier that the food tastes as good as when we last came here. The coffee was equally good. Our server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Dayton Nevada is just outside of Carson City. When u come into town the cafe is on your right as u drive in. U can't miss it. But get there early cz it can get packed. I haven't had lunch there yet. So I can comment on that. But the breakfast is a can't miss! read more

Very impressed. Upbeat, happy waitress. Good came out in a very timely manner, all the food came out at the same time. Shanon has a smile on her face, when it was way to early for most to have a smile I'm from out of state and this was a very pleasant stop for breakfast. Highly recommend! Thank you to Shanon and the cooks!! read more

Quality of food has gone downhill . I use to eat breakfast here all the time . Not so much anymore

We are new to the area and tried Roadrunner Cafe for breakfast. Outstanding! Food was fantastic, big portions, enough to take home and eat the next day. Staff was kind, informative and funny. We are happy that we found Roadrunner Cafe and to support this local business. read more

Beep Beep! Yelp once again came to the rescue. Jean and I are in Carson City visiting relatives. Hankering for a good breakfast, we consulted yelp. None of the places in Carson City looked very good. I like a place with more than one or two reviews. We decided to look at some of the neighboring towns. Drove out to the Roadrunner. Passed it by the first time down Hwy 50, the turn off for Douglas Rd is a bit hard to see. Looks like the entry to a gas station. So if you look for the gas station, called the S&S then the turn off is easier to find. Parking lot was full of pick up trucks and cars all with Nevada plates. A good sign! Nice place, clean and friendly folks. All locals, which we loved. Decent coffee but the water out here is a bit flavorful (well water?) so it's a little strange tasting but it was hot and it kept coming. Our cups were never empty thanks to our friendly host. We ordered bacon and eggs and a side of biscuits and gravy plus one of the daily specials, a homemade cinnamon roll. It was outstanding. The bacon was cooked perfectly crisp, as I had requested. (you'd be surprised by how many places don't cook bacon crisp-well, maybe you wouldn't be surprised!) The eggs were nice, over easy. I didn't love the home fries, but had plenty of other food to make me happy. The biscuits and gravy were delicious. All of the pork family was represented in the gravy, ham, bacon and sausage! Huge biscuits and plenty of gravy. The cinnamon roll was gigantic, slathered in frosting with a big pat of butter melting on the top. Decadent and satisfying. We really enjoyed getting away from touristy Carson City and away from cigarette smoke. Huge, inexpensive breakfast served by friendly folks. Take a drive to the Roadrunner and enjoy! read more

Love eating here. Good food and good service. Always happy about how fast my food comes out. I really don't like to sit and eat for too long, so it's nice when I can get seated quickly and get my food quickly. I love how much this place supports the community it's in. You're able to leave business cards and personal items under the glass at the table. Always a nice touch to see them change every once in a while. read more

We were in Dayton early in the morning. Needed somewhere to have some breakfast and didn't want to go to any casino or chain so we fired up the Yelp app and looked for breakfast. Roadrunner came up and had good reviews so we headed over there and gave it a try. We were NOT disappointed. This is a small restaurant with a small town feel where it does seem everyone knows everyone. That said we were warmly welcomed, and service was great. They have good old fashioned breakfasts here - great biscuits and gravy, tasty eggs, hash browns and everything. Great experience here and next time we're in town we'll definitely be back read more

Overall good. Busy when I got there, not the quietest place, not the cleanest or quickest but very friendly and tasty. read more

Roadrunner Cafe - Huevos rancheros - American Near Me - Dayton, Nevada

I live in Dayton and the Roadrunner is my go-to place for breakfast. In the last couple of years I've become a regular and Davin, Shannon, and Rachael recognize me when I come in for coffee or breakfast. Their food is really good, and in my opinion they have the best home fries in Northern Nevada. Maybe the whole state! Shannon and Rachael are awesome waitresses who give their customers plenty of attention, even when the place is packed. My coffee never gets cold! A couple of my favorites on the menu are the Sausage and Egg breakfast, and the Veggie Omelet. Their Smoked Sausage breakfast is pretty darn awesome as well. If you're ever in Dayton looking for a place for breakfast or lunch, check out the Roadrunner. read more

I love this place. I eat here often. And the thing that is most amazing about this place is the quality of their ingredients. Their bacon is unbelievable. My favorite thing on the menu is their chili cheese omelette. I am a crazy insane lover of hashbrowns, but here I get the home fries, they are awesome. Much thanks to the cop sitting at the counter next to me one morning, who ordered them. I thought "man, if he has been eating here for a long time and he prefers home fries over the hashbrowns, I have to try them". Boy was I glad that I did. I highly recommended this place. The staff is always cheery. The waitresses never slow down. They pay attention to everyone, and keep all the coffees full. They are terrific. Won't disappoint. read more

Not a bad little place. The staff is friendly and fast. I wasn't very hungry, so ordered chili fries (a new feature on their menu). They were typical fast food fries with nacho cheese and chili. Very tasty, but nothing spectacular. read more
