Tahoe turkey sandwich
Olga K.

I have always loved Tahoe Natural Cafe for breakfast--their Egg Melt on a bagel is absolutely delicious! It's fresh, flavorful, and honestly beautiful to look at. Our whole family loves the Egg Melts, and they have been our go-to for a long time. Today I finally had a chance to try something from their lunch menu, and I ordered the Tahoe Turkey sandwich. SO GOOD! It's loaded with fresh vegetables--red cabbage, sprouts, carrots, peppers--and everything together is incredibly fresh, crunchy, flavorful, and satisfying. It feels nutritious without sacrificing taste at all. I can definitely understand why it's one of their popular sandwiches. I highly recommend it, and now I'm already curious about what sandwich I should try next! During the winter season, they also offer a half-sandwich and soup option, which is such a great combination for a cold Tahoe day. Beyond the food, I just love the atmosphere here. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, there are big screens showing beautiful Tahoe scenery, music playing, and even a little area where younger kids can play. Service is always: fast , welcoming, happy vibes. It really is the perfect neighborhood cafe. I'm so glad Tahoe Natural Cafe opened here a couple of years ago because our family genuinely loves having it in the neighborhood. Great food, fresh ingredients, and such a comfortable atmosphere.

We recently moved within walking distance of Tahoe Natural Cafe and it has been such a treat! I love their Funky Monkey smoothie & their open-faced Quesadilla! I will definitely be back!

Went in afternoon on a windy weekend Ordered 4 sandwiches nachos gooey ooey Nachos for kids two pb&js hot coca and hot coffee and macros brownie All in with tip total = $82. Fresh ingredients great place for small children. Plenty of area to play for 4-5 no more than 6 since the toys are in a large corner. Definite competitor to Cheese board. Can't wait to return for breakfast !!

Very nice and pretty and, obviously new, inside, while waiting for to go food TV views of beautiful Tahoe

After my last review there were never green onions put on the nachos again so I'm guessing that was a mistake, and we are quite regular patrons here. They have gluten free bread and one of my favorite quick snack and:or breakfasts is the peanut butter banana and honey on that toast. Feels healthy and is filling. I will probably try the avocado toast again at some point but only when it's avocado season. Love the adult and kids nachos. Add turkey! Adult size is great to share. Open and bright restaurant and lovely outdoor seating for the right weather. Good luck in the high desert spring time. Everyone working is always pleasant and friendly. I love that they employ younger people too. Such a convenient location for us in South Reno. We are lucky to have you!

On the way back from a quick stop at the Virginia City Highlands, decided to try this well-rated cafe, and I'm so glad we did! Surprisingly located within a convenience stop (gas station, market, car wash), it was a spacious, well-lit location filled with visual references to nature and Tahoe. Parking was easy and there was plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, giving a slightly upscale cafeteria vibe. My only note is that the tables could have been tidied more frequently. Only saw someone go around to do this when we were done eating. The food seemed to be an interesting blend of Mexican-inspired, mostly healthy breakfast and lunch options. Lots of tea, coffee, and fresh squeezed juice options to pair with. I opted for the "green juice" minus celery. Pretty much everything (including my egg melt) came with top-notch, unique tortilla chips (crispy, whole grain?). I can only imagine that their house specialty nachos would be amazing. The egg melt came open face on a bagel...perfect thickness, moist but not chewy, topped with very fluffy eggs, ripe avocado and a rich melted jack cheese, with perfect (slightly nacho-esque) seasoning. (Much better than what some bagel-focused chains offer.) I will definitely come back for this!

Cherry cheesecake muffin

This cafe was surprisingly good! Service was very friendly and helpful, and they were able to accommodate for celiac disease. The food was fresh and so good. It's next to a gas station but it was shockingly nice and clean inside. I definitely recommend!

This place was so cute. The checker was so sweet and informative cuz I had never been there before. Sat outside on a sunny day. The food was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend, will go again.

Look, you can see the lake from here!

Tahoe Natural Cafe has become a great stopping off point on my walking tour. It's a great place to grab a cappuccino which is what I did recently. Met a friend for coffee and enjoyed the wide open concept of this cafe. They have outdoor seating but don't expect a lot of ambiance with that. Still it's a great place to have a cup of coffee as you gaze out at the parking lot and veterans parkway. I haven't been too drawn to order food but need to try something on their "specials" menu. The staff was very pleasant and had no problem pouring my cappuccino into a porcelain cup. I don't usually order coffee out so was worried... Beautiful place. Next time I'll order food!

Nice views of the outside
Gil S.

Nice, bright, clean, airy cafe with ample seating and friendly staff. Cute outdoorsy and Easter decorations line the walls, along with colorful art and a cool giant six-panel video screen displaying colorful Tahoe scenery. Food is a little on the pricey side (as with most things these days), but it's fresh and creative. Lots of disparate and fun-looking options on the menu, like a curry bowl and burritos and avocado toast and interesting-sounding salads and sandwiches. We found the bread to be very very good--I got the avocado toast and my wife got an open-faced breakfast sandwich on a bagel. The bagel was surprisingly easy to bite through with all the toppings, and nicely fresh and delicious. I liked that they didn't go overboard on the toppings for the sandwich or the avocado toast. The avocado toast had a nacho-tasting seasoning on it that was good for a few bites but a bit too much after that. However, it came with a wedge of lemon, which, when squeezed overtop, added a nice citrusy brightness. They make their own juice mixes, too, which is a plus, but when it came to the coffee options, they seemed a bit limited or basic. The dirty chai I got was too muted by the milk. Very minor complaints, though--all in all a nice brunch experience for us.

Real Tahoe Turkey
Helen A.

A very unique restaurant with a healthy menu full of veggie loaded sandwiches, fruit smoothies, and healthier Mexican food. I was surprised that this is located in connection to a gas station, car wash, and convenience store. The Tahoe Turkey was a great sandwich! I enjoyed the hatch chile and it was not spicy at all! However, it appears that everything comes with a side of tortilla chips as the default side. While I understand it is a very cost efficient side, it felt a little off for a deli turkey, cheese and veggie sandwich.

Tara T.

Great pitstop for my kid. It's a perfect place for her to play with other kids in a smaller setting. My smoothie tasted great and I'm a fan of this place. Today, my green machine smoothie had a whole half a banana in it so they need to blend it a little longer. Other than that, lovely visit.

Sausage Breakfast Special
Apryl B.

This place was super cute and very gluten free friendly. At first I was hesitant because it was located next to a gas station but, as soon as you walked in, you would be impressed with the design and view of the mountains. They offered a lot of healthy options from food to juice. The staff were friendly and they had a lot of seating available inside. It's also very family friendly because they have a small kid section in the corner. Great spot for lunch! Definitely recommend!

Cob Salad!
Tamami T.

After a walk around the marsh area, we saw the sign for this place on a new (I think) complex, so we decided to give it a try. We both wanted a salad. Their cob salad is really good size, great protein portion -- really enjoyed it. The place is clean, comfortable, bright, noise level is low. The staff is friendly. Perfect breakfast/lunch place. Was not crowded around 12:30 pm on a weekday. Really enjoyed the visit!

My sandwich was a soggy mess. First few bites and my hands are covered in mayo, mustard. Very messy. And something tasted off. Left a nasty taste in my mouth that I still have several hours later even after brushing my teeth. I had to text my coworker that I was feeling really nauseous and my stomach was brewing. I went through the sweats hoping to make it home in time if ya know what I mean. Coworker said her sandwich was just as nasty. Like the jar of banana pepper juice was dumped all over it. We only ate 1/2 and trashed the rest. Thank god I was able to leave work. I am still not feeling great. So many other good sandwich shops in the area. Shit I'd rather go to Panera than come here again.

Luckily, the ones here at Slim Chickens are fresh and well seasoned, and it come with a range of delicious Housemade sauces that made for a great experience each time. Unintentionally the spot has become our go to value meal when the kids are pleading for us to take them out for lunch for dinner. The Sunday special where a kid meal is $1.99 with the purchase of an adult meal has become a once a month treat. Having the app also has exposed to other unique offerings and their newest menu addition too. They've been doing a lot of solid digital marketing in the general vicinity as well and I often find great value offerings through that channel as well. Most recently that was discovering the 20 piece boneless Hall, which for $10 was enough to feed both of my kids or me a little snack and one of the kids as well. Four stars is because sometimes the offerings shown online are a little tricky to find either in the app or at the kiosk in store. I've had to start orders on the kiosk, then abandoned them and then head to the cash register where the friendly staff is more than willing to jump in and help me locate exactly what I'm talking about. They've never seemed to not know about a promotion which I do really appreciate. The chicken tenders are usually well cooked and crispy and juicy, but I do find them a bit on the salty side personally, some of the sauce is also fall a little bit flat. I tried the cayenne ranch last visit and thought it barely had a kick or any flavor beyond being just a loser style ranch dressing. The fries are really weird. I think they need some work unless I say something specifically I feel like I always get the end of the bachelorette prize they're warm, not hot but they're limp and often quite greasy if I ask them well done or Crispy I feel like they get overcooked so I just don't know at this point how to best enjoy the french fries here. All that service is always 100% and the staff is always able to put a smile on your face. My kids ripped through the sauces and the staff never hesitate to hook them up with extra one or two and they always treat them with the same respect, they would treat us at the counter, which I greatly appreciate. Again, I'm very solid addition to self Reno from Guy Wootan. I'm happy my kids dragged me in the first time and will continue to visit in the future.

Slim Chickens might be called "slim" because their portions leave a lot to be desired. Overall portions are too small and items are very overpriced! I ordered the wrap and it cost over $10 for the wrap alone. It came out and the wrap was max 6 inches long and very small, hardly any chicken and used too much ranch (probably to cover the dryness). It was gone in a few bites. For reference, the sauce cups are the small sauce cups that hold maybe a tablespoon of sauce. The wrap was barely the size of a snack wrap. Do with that what you will. Kind of a rip off.

Been waiting a long time to try this place. It did not disappoint. Yes these are ~$20 burgers but…read moreyou get what you pay for. Top quality meat and different meat & cheese choices. (Their Classic in my photo is probably their least impressive looking burger.) I ordered medium rare like always at a high-quality joint but I accidentally got someone's medium-well, and after tasting both, I actually preferred the the medium-well as the grind on the rare part of the medium-rare was a little mushier than I'm used to. Probably because most places you order a medium-rare you actually get a medium. Not here. I'd go medium on a return visit. I like they don't overseason the burger with too much salt like a lot of other places. Eaters with palates desensitized to salt due to a lot of fast food/burger eating may find the need to add salt to satisfy their salt craving. The burger sauce is also served on the side and is a bit milder, and more homemade tasting compared to your average burger sauces. This is great because the meat is so good you really don't want to overshadow it with salty seasoning and overpowering sauces. If you're going to dump a bunch of salt and sauce on it, just go to In-n-Out. They also have sandwiches, tenders and chili. If you think about it, a butcher shop deciding to serve cooked food is taking a risk. If the food isn't that great it can affect their meat business. The shop atmosphere is very upscale with high prices to match it like the rest of Rancharra Village. Very limited indoor bar dining and some tables outside. Not sure if the really high prices for the meats and seafoods in the case are worth it, but the saying "you get what you pay for" at least applies to the burgers here. My only suggestion is take a sharpie and scribble the cook temp (medium, medium-rare, etc) on the paper in the burger basket so groups don't get their burgers mixed up. They verbally pointed it out but it's easy to forget by the time you get back to your table with 3, 4, or 6 burgers. Fry basket is a great value, easily enough for 2 people and probably some of the best thick cut fries I've ever tasted with sort of a very light seasoned crispy panko outer texture to them. Updated Reno Burger Rankings primarily on quality/taste but also value is factored in but to a lesser degree: #1 Armandos #2 Royce #3 Beefy's tied with The Parlor #4 Archies Giant #5 Juicy's

My husband and I shared the BBQ Burger and Double Down Bacon Burger. Patties had great texture and flavors came together well. Also came with their own spreads which were tasty additions. Our fry order came with a lot and we could not finish after having the burgers. They were crispy, came with ranch and the leftovers made for a great snack later. It's a fast casual type place but their service was excellent. Great location with lots of parking!

Quality/Quantity - I was concerned when I got here and saw the prices for entrees "fast food/fast…read morecausal" Greek food. But it did NOT disappoint! Today we got the following: Gyro Plate - Cooked to order. A reasonable wait. I tried to come in later after they opened so I would NOT get some outer edges of the Gyro, but I think I might have been the second customer today, so... Salmon - The salmon was just enough for a light eater, but generous rice and naan. Also, the salad was enough for two light eaters. Quite a bit of salmon oil, not sure if that was good or bad. I guess it would depend on if it was natural or added from the cooking process. Overall, the food was good and more than enough for us 3 light eaters and enough left overs for a late lighter meal for one. Ambiance - A corner unit, plenty of mall parking. Clean modern decor. Plenty of indoor seating: Half the customers ate in and the other half took to go. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 9pm. Service - 6 stars, so professional. Amazing greeting. Suggestive sold, and offered us "to-go" customers a cup for water while we waited. Counter service. Self service drinks. Catering available. Price - $43; reasonably priced for us light eaters. Enough food for 4 people, 4 light eaters. Expensive if you are not a light eater. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2016 and your franchise model; 92+ locations with many more coming soon!

Really disappointed with my takeout experience at The Great Greek. I ordered a salad, picked it up,…read moredrove home, and discovered they completely left out the salad dressing. I mean, who sends out a takeout salad with no dressing? That's a pretty basic part of the order, and once you're already home, you shouldn't have to drive all the way back because someone didn't check the order before it left the restaurant. What's even more disappointing is that before writing this review, I actually called the restaurant to give them an opportunity to make it right. I asked to speak with a manager and was told the manager would call me back. That call never came. Mistakes happen, and I understand that. But not following up with a customer after saying you would is what really bothered me. A simple phone call and acknowledgment would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, between the incomplete order and the lack of follow-up, this was a very disappointing experience.

The food is only about $1-$3 off regular pricing, so don't expect huge HH discounts. They have a huge selection of drafts and ciders, plus a full bar if you're looking for something else. The space is cool and makes a good spot for watching sports or hanging out with friends and family. The staff were friendly, too. My BF and I both got cheeseburgers (my favorite thing). I had the Guac Burger and he got the Biggy BBQ. Neither burger was ginormous, which I actually appreciate, but they were just okay. ‍ They tasted like pretty standard burgers: not much seasoning and nothing I'd particularly crave. In a world where most restaurants get their food from the same distributors, that's not all that shocking. My BF said the pulled pork was the best part of his. I also ordered a Caesar salad, but it had way too much dressing for my liking. If you prefer lighter dressing, definitely ask for it on the side. The salad was also HUGE for a side, easily enough to replace fries. All that said, I'll probably be back. I had my eye on the nachos, and I still want to give those a try!

Nothing has really stood out enough to justify the prices. The biggest issue for me is the alcohol pricing and happy hour. It's way overpriced, especially for Reno. I understand they're a chain and are probably following corporate pricing and rules, but some of the beer prices are hard to justify when you can get much better deals at plenty of other places around town. The happy hour doesn't really feel like much of a happy hour either. I do really like the atmosphere. The space is great, there are tons of screens, and it has a lot of potential as a good place to hang out and watch games. Unfortunately, the service was very minimal both times I've been here, even while sitting directly at the bar. Overall, I really like the space and atmosphere, but between the average food, high drink prices, and lackluster service, it's hard for me to say it's worth coming back when Reno has so many other options.
