2/8/26 FYI.
Lee D.

Yelp works. Quality/Quantity - I have been hesitant to visit this location as it is in a hospital. But today we craved sandwiches and I said what the heck, let's give it a try. We were both so glad to have come and will make this a regular place to visit in the future. Today we got the following: Reuben with Fries - Wow, I mean wow! Generous portions. For both meat, cheese, etc. Well I could have still used more fries, lol. Amazing flavors, fresh, and made to order. But a little too oily for me/us; which is odd since I believe the menu is approved by their dieticians. Oh, I actually saved half my lunch for dinner! My wife got the Turkey Melt. She also loved it. I ate all/most of her bacon; she is missing out. The bacon was almost like a jerky and I mean that in a positive way. Just the way I prefer it! She also saved half her sandwich for dinner. Copy and paste from their website: Hot entrees with a made-to-order grill. Featured soups and hot cereals. A Fresh Choices area featuring fresh dishes including custom made sandwich & pasta choices. Gourmet daily specials are also available on weekdays. Grab & Go choices including salads, sushi and other popular items. A wide selection of desserts, including a full-size frozen yogurt machine. Broader range of menu items for patients. Supported by a team of dieticians. Large Indoor/outdoor dining area. Ambiance - Huge cafe. Decent options. Well, the poke station was closed, not sure if it is still available. Plenty of spacious seating, see picture. Self service condiments, water, etc. See pictures. Even a microwave available for public use, etc. Service - 5 stars. The team working the grill were so friendly and inviting. Price - $19, inexpensive. Especially since we had this for TWO meals. Owner Comment - Congrats on Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center success since 1949 and with your 20 regional locations.

2-Year Update...Sage Cafe Coming back two years later to say this place is still doing it right. Sage Cafe continues to deliver quality food, generous portions, beautiful sunsets and prices that honestly don't make sense for how good it is, in the best way. What really stands out is the consistency and the people. Pedro, Ramón, Javier, Gilberto, Juan, Chef Jerry, and especially Luis (20 years here!) continue to make this place feel welcoming. Luis personally checked on my order to make sure my steak sandwich was cooked exactly how I like it, service like that is rare anywhere, let alone in a hospital café. Ordered the steak sandwich with fries and a chicken sandwich with onion rings..everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. All of that, plus a fountain drink, under $23. Two years later and my opinion hasn't changed: this is not "hospital food." It's comfort, quality, and care. Still highly recommended.

Chicken sandwich
Lauren C.

I know it's stage that some of the best food comes out of a hospital restaurant, but it's true and it does. I have been here a few times and so far haven't had a bad item, but the crispy chicken sandwich has been my favorite so far. Food is fresh and service is quick as long as you don't go right in the middle of a lunch or dinner rush. Cafeteria like seating with lots of windows and light.

Poke bowl - Double Ahi - lettuce & rice, etc. Affordable Fresh Quality

Sage Cafe is the cafeteria, open to the public, within CarsonTahoe hospital on the north end of Carson City, NV. Serving 7-7, last I checked, and offering quality, mostly made-to-order dishes at a reasonable price, cafeteria walk-up & self-seating, a casual atmosphere with lots of natural light in the dining area; Service with a smile, every time. **Poke Bowl and Stir Fry station Monday - Friday only **

I heard that people would stop here to eat a good meal at a reasonable price. I thought this was a little funny since it's the hospital cafeteria...but whoa!!! Not only do you get good food, but the prices are VERY reasonable. I came in on a weekend, but if you are able to come in on a weekday, they have a stir fry bar and poke bar. I hear the breakfast is also popular. I had the spicy chicken sandwich and loved it! It does feel like a hospital cafeteria, but the hospital is beautiful. Service is typical for a cafeteria, and that was fine. If you want to a good meal at reasonable prices, you should definitely give it a try.

Current menu 3/8/2026

Looks like it's time for an UPDATE on the current menus. Posted as of 3/8/2026. Prices have gone up, but still a better deal than any restaurant in town. I got the Fish and Chips, they seemed improved over what they used to be. More crunchy batter. Deal at $7.75 and no tax or tip! The burgers are actually flame grilled and have a charbroiled taste. Note: grill is Closed between 10:30am and 11:00am for the switch over to lunch service. They now have big baked pretzels for just $2.75 each. Credit cards taken just fine and no service surcharge either! The turkey club sandwich was fabulous, look at the pic! Yes! Everything is sanitary and clean, cause , well, this is a hospital!

Poke bowl
MaryAlice R.

I was half way through before I remembered to take a picture, it was so yummy looking. I eat here just about every week (my perk for volunteering) and today I tried the Poke Bowl! Wonderful healthy addition to the cafe. As with the stirfry bar, you fill out a little firm, circling what you want and they make it right up. The ahi was tender and fresh, all the add ons were just right, rice was excellent ..often hard to get well prepared rice in a food service setting. Highly recommend Sage!

Steak sandwich
Julie L.

Hospital cafe extraordinaire! I heard rumors of the great food and value. No joke! We tried the steak sandwich with fresh onions, peppers, and mushrooms. Also the crispy shrimp tacos. Beautiful, light, and healthy. When I ordered the sandwich, they asked if I wanted fries. Yes. They were good, but others ordered onion rings and tater tots. Next time! The food was great and they spent less than $20 (including 2 Perrier waters). The burgers looked absolutely amazing and only $7, so I will definitely bring our family back for a meal. The jalapeño popper grilled cheese looked interesting too. If only they had beer...probably not since it's a hospital.

Soft beard on the bottom, but I worked through it.  Corned beef was a good quality and flavorful

Finally tried Sage Cafe in the CarsonTahoe Hospital.. 1st. Was kind of confusing on ordering as there was a menu on the wall and people standing all over waiting on orders. No biggie, we figured it out. Hubby n I decided on trying the reuben as we love those sandwiches so much. They do not have onion rings on the menu, but they do serve them and omg so so good. They had no ice for the drink machine, so we opted for a bottled water. The cafe itself is kinda crazy, but it all works. Once we walked up to the grill and placed our order, it was a matter of time as it is made fresh to order period!!! Love that aspect. We received our order in probably 7 to 8 minutes. Which is not bad at all as we went during lunch and they were busy. Now a reuben, onion ring and a water were under 10.00 6.95 sandwich 2.10 onion ring add on .85 for a bottle of water. You will not break the bank eating here and you will be full for sure. We shared and could not finish it all. Once you leave the order area wth your food, you walk into the dining entrance where you pay, get your condiments, silverware etc. The dining room was spacious, clean and very inviting for a nice quiet lunch. Plenty windows for a nice ambience. Outdoor tables for when the weather is not so cold. They have a decent sized menu and just 2 people were busting out the orders. As well as very friendly. If I had to critique 1 thing on this meal the bread was soggy on 1 side from the extra juice I'm guessing from the Sauerkraut. But the corned beef,cheese and bread were so delicious. Great amount of everything. We will be going back. Imma have to go try a burger next. Great prices and amounts for the working class. I see why they have the review stars they have.

Go see for yourself you won't be disappointed. My favorite is the stake fries or the salad bar. The daily special always rocks too.

Would come again? Yes…read more Food is well executed across dishes. I got the deluxe eggs benedict which was well seasoned, perfectly cooked eggs, and crispy hash browns. The service is quick and the owner is inviting, thoughtful, and helpful. Everytime ive gone here there's usually a small wait, but its definitely worth the wait. The outdoor brunch/lunch vibes with well executed food is worth it. Would recommend.

Unfortunately, Gateway Cafe gave me absolutely nothing but attitude…read more We hadn't even sat down. We walked up and were told there was a 35+ minute wait, which is fine, restaurants get busy. But the hostess looked me up and down and then hit us with, "leaning more on the +, 30 minutes." Like okay girl, why are we doing all that? We jokingly offered her $100 to let us in earlier and she goes, "No, I'll take your money after you eat the food though." And honestly the joke would've landed if the energy before that wasn't already so weird. At that point we literally just left. And what makes the whole thing even more ironic is that Gateway Cafe markets itself as woman-owned and LGBTQ-friendly, but the experience did not feel particularly welcoming or inclusive. The clientele was overwhelmingly older and white, and as someone who clearly did not fit into that demographic, I felt very aware of it. There was a palpable feeling of being looked at rather than welcomed. Obviously, I can't speak for anyone else's experience, but this was mine. And I'm sorry, but if I'm already uncomfortable before I've even ordered a mimosa, why exactly would I stay and spend my money? The food could be incredible. I wouldn't know. We left before we ever got the chance to find out.

Years back my husband and I wanted to try them out but we went in on a random Saturday morning and they were closed. My dad was admitted to this hospital a little over a year ago but I was not able to try it, so it was time! The first thing I wanted to try was their breakfast! I walked over to the ready made selections and I assumed it was just like regional where the only thing they offered were premade. Since I assumed, I went ahead and tried their sausage and egg English muffin sandwich, which is my go to at regional! After I paid I noticed there were a group of people to the side waiting for their orders. I looked to the right of the cashier and I saw they had made to order omelettes! I was bummed I didn't see that in the first place or else I would have ordered it! The price of the sandwich was about $3.50 and the omelettes were $3, which is a great deal! The breakfast sausage english muffin sandwich was similar to the one I regularly eat at Regional, but I don't think they butter the bread here, which is good on my heart and arteries! It's definitely something I would recommend to try! I am so used to picking up Starbucks at regional that when I ordered my sandwich I decided to just get drip coffee, which wasn't labeled. I then I realized i should have just made coffee in my office but it was ok, it did it's job! During the lunch hour, my husband, who's office is about a block away, decided to join me and we went straight to the menu to the right of the cashier. Everything was priced great! I ordered the tuna melt with fries and he ordered patty melt with onion rings. Both were priced pretty good, about $3 for each sandwich, the fries were $1, and onion rings $2. My coworker told me the quesadillas were good as well! The sandwiches and onion rings were hot and fresh but the fries seemed like they were sitting there for a little bit, but they were battered similar to flowing tide fries! Still yummy! Both times I went throughout the day, they offered a small cold section with salads, fruits, yogurt, and a refrigerator stocked with bottled drinks. They didn't have a soda fountain available. They also had an area for snacks including slim Jim's, trail mix, etc. condiment packed were stocked and I was glad to see they had cholula offered which is a change from Tabasco at regional. Next time I do want to try the made to order foods that they offer! This makes me miss the made to order ways we had a regional. I had the same cashier both times and he was so sweet, all smiles and was so welcoming! The tables were limited but it was like a well oiled machine; as soon as people were done at the table, they got up to make way for others to sit. I really like that the area was well lit with big windows to let natural light in. My husband and I were reminded of being at a hotel. I grew up eating hospital food since my mom was a nurse for 24 years so I never look down on cafeteria food. The quality isn't what you'll find at a 5 star or a Michelin star restaurant, but if you're at the hospital and hungry whether you're a guest or an employee it's worth it!

I was helped by a woman who, from the moment I approached the counter, never looked at me or acknowledged me. She continued talking to a coworker, with her head turned away from me the entire time. At one point, the coworker even came over to show her something on her personal phone, and the conversation continued. She eventually bagged my coffee cake without saying a word, still never making eye contact, and handed it to me. I actually had to lean toward her until she finally looked at me. I said, "Thank you," and walked away. I completely understand that working with the public can be challenging, and everyone has bad days. But this was more than just being having a bad day--it was zero effort to acknowledge or interact with a customer. Schat's is a place I really like, which is why this experience was so disappointing. If you're going to work in a customer-facing position, please make an effort to be courteous, acknowledge your customers, and provide at least the basic level of customer service they deserve.
