    I got the picture just in time. She was more than ready to devour her yummy French Toast.
    Michelle B.

    My friends and I didn't realize how many 24 hour diners aren't 24 hours anymore and we were in downtown Reno looking to grab an inexpensive bite and sit down to enjoy it. After several years since my last visit to the dining at GDW, we landed here on a Friday night. They are also not 24 hours anymore but they are open a bit later - 10pm vs Cal Neva's 9pm etc. First we were met with smiling faces and great enthusiasm despite our arrival at apparently 10 minutes to closing. We had a busser aka every server's lifeline, named Jasmine whose personality just lit up the dining room. She was just so friendly, helpful and radiating a level of joy that was a welcome energy. If she doesn't love her job, I would be shocked because her joy was rather infectious. After being seated we reviewed the very affordable menu. Affordable is important these days! Our server, Thomas I think, was equally friendly and helpful. Everyone but me ordered and received amazing food. To be clear, I am relatively restaurant cursed so I tend to have mistakes or problems that the average person probably won't experience so I'm not going to focus on my meal at all in this review for that reason. My bestie ordered the burger which was assembled well, cooked to perfection and great flavor. Bun was soft but not too soft. Fries were tasty (I had a couple myself). The third in our party ordered the French Toast. This too was perfectly cooked, presentation was on point and looked delicious which my friend confirmed was true. Our fourth ordered the pecan pancakes. They too were perfectly prepared. The pancakes were fluffy, light and very flavorful even without the accroutements. The Pecans were generously adorning the top and even came with a side of the candied Pecans to add so you really could insure every bite would be covered. I had some of hers because the kitchen was already closed when I couldn't eat what I ordered. I'll be getting that next time we come in. Overall, I had a better experience and we spent less than we have had at Gold N Silver. My biggest criticism is they are not open after 10pm. Late night bites are getting harder to find and I think they could stay busy if they were open later.

    First not sure why it says closed because there wasn't any signs of construction or similar. Had a delicious lunch here-- I was pleasantly surprised! They offer the typical coffee shop in a casino options . They were offering a Brie and turkey sandwich special so I went with that. Loved it. My sandwich was made to perfection. I must admit I was worried the Brie cheese would be overwhelming but it was just the right portion. The fries were cooked to perfection and not super oily. Good ranch too! Everyone really enjoyed their meals. I'd definitely try it again and would recommend stopping by to check it out! Our server was attentive and friendly. Loved all the pictures of how Reno was back in the day-- very cool to see! Check them out!

    This restaurant is inside the Gold Dust West in Reno. You have to walk through the casino to enter the restaurant. The casino was built in 1977. Yes, the building inside does look a little dated. This Casino and restaurant is 21 only. Therefore it has been many years since I have eaten here. This is one of the last places in Reno that still has decent prices. The wait staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. Their Prime Rib dinner is $14.99. It includes a salad, dinner roll, choice of potato, and vegetables. The Prime Rib was tastier than some of the steakhouses around town. They also have a lobster and steak for $21.99. However, the steak was not as good as the Prime Rib. The lobster was good. My son loves to get their Philly Cheesesteak and ask for au jus on the side. This by the way was a suggestion of our waitress. He absolutely loves it. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every month the special meals change. For example, June's specials are a BBQ Brisket Sandwich and Fries for $10.99, Orzo Pasta with Chicken for $10.99, or an add-on of deep-fried shrimp for $4.99. The food and service is good.

    This is what they bring to the table for your toast... so generous
    James D.

    How is it possible they have made this place worse? New menu, no chef's salad, no cobb salad, no soup of the day, no free pie for dessert... the list of what they no longer serve is endless.. What they do have is higher prices and a dining room with only 4 occupied tables at noon on a Saturday ..

    Since they have such small glasses, the waiter brought me a carafe.
    Nancy V.

    We have been coming here for over 30 years. We have seen things come and go. Everything on the menu is available all day. This is a great change. They have only 2 salads with very pricey "salad enhancers". There are 3 soups every day. The SAME 3 SOUPS! One of the draws for me was their variety of soup. Strike 2. The drink glasses are too small. They need to have someone to keep the drinks topped off or go back to large soda and iced tea glasses. Strike 3. This can't possibly endear themselves to the locals. Sad, very sad.

    Reno Locals, if you haven't discovered The Grille inside of Gold Dust casino just two blocks off Keystone right off the 80 freeway, get ready to add this to your dining rotation! We are weekly regulars here and the food is always great quality, fresh homemade taste and friendly service. It is generally a mature crowd and if you want to be in the OG local mix, this is the spot for you. Flannel plaid, jeans, and a baseball cap is the usual dress code. They can get pretty busy but generally the wait is not very long and they have a savvy texting waitlist if there is a wait. 20 minutes is our average if we are wait at all. Pre-pandemic they were 24 hours but now it is 6am-10pm daily. We sure miss those old late night/early morning hours. They make the best french toast in town and the chicken and waffles always hits the spot. I would say they are about as close to comfort food delicious home cooking as it gets: country fried steak, pot roast, and chicken noodle is my top 3 for this. Their potato skins must get mentioned! Once you've had this, it will be a tough act to follow. They no longer do take out orders but if you are dining in, you can order this to go, it is an easy snack to pop into the oven to heat up. They also still offer their reimagined free pie. Gold Dust and Grille is definitely your house full of friends and when you start coming here often enough, you will recognize other regulars/friends!

    Sometimes you just want to relax in a small, friendly environment... This is one of our go to places.. Staff is always friendly and they know us by first name as we do theirs.. Our favorite servers, Marla, Lourdes, Nova to name a few.. Deb-who retired-Eric our best busser who went out of state.. Good value and great food.. This month they are including the free pie slices in a jar.. so I'll be back for that!

    Small casino, small restaurant but Huge portions! Can get busy so be prepared to have a few minutes wait. I have been here for breakfast, lunch & dinner. If you get yourself a rewards card and gamble you'll get a free prime rib dinner. Once you accumulate 50 points! Such a good deal! Play more and get your next meal half off! I tried the Prime rib which came with veggies and your choice of potatoes. But the best option to eat here which you'll definitely not finish is the Giant Chicken Fried steak, it is so delicious and crispy. The steak is a big as the plate it comes in. The restaurant has an old fashioned look to it which has beautiful pictures of Reno from the 1940's which is so mesmerizing and interesting. I highly recommend this restaurant when visiting Reno. Great food and awesome service

    It was such a beautiful day.... where can we eat outside?…read more I found "The Spot", its in the old Smee's location on the river. When we showed up, we asked if we could sit at a table outside, the guy was a little overwhelmed, he said "I can sit you in 10 mins". I said "can we have this table". OK, but....just know I'll be with you as soon as I get caught up, I'm totally fine with that I said. . He bought us a couple menus to look over. Then a table on the railing with shade opened up, I didn't care about the table was dirty with dishes, so we decided to move. I love to look at the river and watch the people go by. The server said, I'll be over soon! He was never so happy when Sierra showed up to help him out. He came over to our table I said "I hope you don't mind, I moved to be in the shade, I know I'm one of those pain in the ass customers". Then he started joking with me and it was the perfect ice breaker. My server and part owner's name is Casey! He is an awesome guy and such a hard worker to ensure his customers are taken care of. I love that. We had a couple beers, he has quite the selection of beers on tap, he supports the community breweries such as Lead Dog and Revisions. My husband had the breakfast burrito $13, it was huge with homemade tortilla chips with salad and guacamole. I had the fish and chips. You get three large pieces of fish, fries and yummy coleslaw. I love how they put the tater sauce and ketchups in personal cups for you that shows class. My fish was absolutely delicious better than the old Smees and especially the new location. You get a nice meal for $20. They have indoor, outdoor, bar seating. They have a little merch area and a gaming bar if you feel lucky. I know the Open Championship Bowlers are in town, if you're looking for nice comfort food "tavern style" location this is the place for you on the Reno Riverwalk 50 N Sierra. It upstairs.

Either way this worked out, as we decided to split a smash burger and hubs beer was on the football list of drinks. I got an IPA..it was only 8 dollars normal price. The place inside is small, and it was cold outside, yet people still weathered the outside to see the river. The bartenders were doing a great job with service. Out food was very good and we loved the French fries. It got chaotic at the end, as a bar crawl of some type showed up and overwhelmed the staff...not their fault. It got very rowdy in there so we left. I will come back during better weather. I only suggest you fix your website to be more current.

Also, Joe, our incredible table-side libation magician was beyond phenomenal all the way around. He left us with a great impression, big smiles, and with that I'm definitely looking forward to another visit very soon! Service is important and our server along with Joe nailed it. 10 out of 10- but next time we'll plan a little better and stay a lot longer.

    Finally got to try Ramsay Kitchen at Silver Legacy and it was definitely a fun experience!…read more We started with cocktails, oysters, and the lamb lollipops. The lamb was sooo good and the mint chutney was honestly one of my favorite parts. For entrees, we had the fontina and truffle ravioli and the beef wellington. The ravioli was really good, especially with the butternut squash puree. The beef wellington was a little underwhelming, just didn't quite live up to the hype. Ended with dessert cocktails and I loved that my espresso martini came with lady fingers, such a cute and tasty touch. Overall, I'm really glad I got to try it. Definitely feels like a special occasion spot and I'd come back again!

We started with the PULL-APART GARLIC CHEESE BREAD which is Focaccia, mozzarella, marinara, parmesan, frico crust and also ordered the WOOD FIRED OCTOPUS with crispy gnocchi, tomatoes, red onion, basil, arugula and topped with a Calabrian chili aioli. Both were fantastic, seasoned nicely and cooked to a perfect temperature!! For our entree we hate the BEE STING pizza. Make with a 72 Hour Fermented Organic Dough topped with Salami, red onion, basil, serranos, mozzarella and honey. The crust was delicious, crunchy, thin and when combined with the sauce, seasoning and toppings, an excellent pizza. Additionally we ordered two of the in-house, housemaid pasta. The ARRABBIATA , a roasted red pepper campanelle, with Calabrese sausage, garlic, chilis, broccolini and topped with Parmesan, pecorino. The other pasta we tried was the BLACK SPAGHETTI, mixed with clams, scallops, shrimp, hot chopped peppers, white wine, butter and lemon. It was fantastic!! Cooked al dente and packed with flavor.

He was attentive to our needs and patient with all our questions. The restaurant is a good size, the bar area was busy and filled with conversation and laughter, the booths looked cozy, we chose a table near windows for outside lighting. The outside tables looked great for getting some warmth and fresh air. Many options and different settings. Sorry, I forgot to take pics.

Before you go in, there is signs that says expect a 20 minute wait or more for a burger. If that is an issue for you, this isn't the spot for you. I've gone here a few times. The most recent time with my parents and aunt. I was a bit skeptical taking them to a dive bar for a burger since I wasn't sure how they would react to it. I didn't know until after the meal that they had a whole back section that would have been a lot better of an experience for them. They have a lot of tables and room back there whereas the front is either a bar, one table, or more a a lounge set up. There is also a outdoor area, but it had been a bit windy and sprinkling throughout the day so that isn't an option. I've done the Frenchified burger and the chile burger. Both times i opted for the fries over the chips and feel like I need to try the chips. Burger comes with two patties, a great bun, than the rest is up to you on which you choose. The fries are what I would consider shoe string fries, but maybe slightly thicker. I'm usually not a fan of shoestring fries, but I polished them off easily both times. My parents and aunt are harder to please. They like ingredients that speak for themselves and don't like too much sauces. All 3 of them really enjoyed it and I'm sure they will all be back. They have been looking for a good burger in Reno and I think this was it for them.
