    Honestly, the food should have been 3.5 stars and the service -3.5 stars. This is the restaurant in the casino so it's definitely an interesting crowd. I was told there would be a 30 min wait for a table but the counter was available now if I wanted so I opted for the counter. A woman was quick to ask me for my drink order, but little did I know, that would be the last encounter with a server for over 30 mins. I sat there watching the servers pass by taking food from the pass to the different tables in the restaurant. I ended up asking 5 different times for a server to take my order and each time was told that someone else was responsible for the service at the counter and they would try and find the server. The entire row of diners sitting at the counter was waiting to order and no one would even look at us. I have never seen a restaurant run in this manner before. It was clear that they had no intention of finding our server. I was eventually able to flag down a server who was okay with taking my order. I ordered the prime rib and lobster. The lobster was pretty overcooked and not very good. The prime rib and mashed potatoes were pretty solid for the price. Would probably order that again, minus the lobster. But will probably never return due to the awful service.

    Chicken noodle soup

    This place never disappoints! Got the prime rib 8oz special, steak and fries both medium rare. The price is still decent. The prime rib and steak were both seasoned and cooked perfectly. They both came with chicken noodle soup. I love stopping by here whenever I am at Reno.

    Steak and eggs

    Their 9.99 steak and eggs special brought me into cal neva. I ordered the steak and eggs along with a stack of pancakes on the side--and let me tell you, both absolutely hit the spot. The steak was tender and cooked close to what I ordered. The pancakes were fluffy, golden, and had that nostalgic flavor that brings you back to simpler times. No gimmicks here--just solid, delicious food made with care. Service was fast, warm, and genuinely welcoming--something you don't always find in casino-adjacent diners. My coffee cup never ran dry, and the servers made the whole experience feel relaxed and easy. Yes, the space is a little worn around the edges, but it kind of adds to the charm. Think "vintage Tahoe diner" more than "dated." And for the price? Almost shockingly affordable, especially given the generous portions and quality. Bottom line: If you're staying at Cal Neva or just passing through, Top Deck is 100% worth a stop.

    Food was not something I would eat again. Chorizo was weird and the Belgian waffle was covered in strawberry syrup that it was soggy before it came out. One bite was enough to not eat any more. Hashbrowns were nice tho

    Old school casino food. On a recent visit to Reno, my friend and I can't pass up the sign advertising surf and turf for $16.99 (steak and lobster). Walked through the smoky casino floor to the slightly less smoky 2nd floor dining area and found that you can get a slice of prime rib with a lobster tail for $17.99. Baked potatoes would be a bit more. My friend's end cuts were a bit dry and my medium rare cut was done perfectly. Au jus was a bit plain as well as the creamy horseradish. Aside from the general smokiness of the place, I actually kind of enjoyed the old timey vibe with the red booths separated by frosty glass partitions. No thrills, but I'm sure I'll be back if I'm in the area again.

    If you're looking for a meal while on a budget in Reno, this is the perfect spot for you. The quality of the food is average, but it still gets the job done. Can't go wrong with a burger and fries; and the wings are not small.

    8/15/2025 came here with a friend to try the lobster and steak for 18$. It was pretty dam good. The service was great and the atmosphere was different but I enjoyed it. With the two plates and 4 beers my bill was only 46$. That's friggin awesome. I'll definitely be back

    We stopped here for breakfast before driving from Reno to Lake Tahoe.  My husband saw a billboard advertising a $7.77 special.  This special included two eggs, a choice of meat, hash browns, and choice of toast.  Our server, Candi, made our meal fantastic!   She was so friendly, and we really enjoyed meeting her.  Our breakfast was really good, and you can't beat the price!  I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area.  Make sure you ask for Candi!  FYI, she told us that her last name is Bar.  Can't forget that - - Candi Bar!!

    "Prime rib & New York steak"

    Save yourself the disgust. Last night after enjoying some time at the card tables we decided to head up to the Top Deck. Worst mistake ever. I ordered a New York dinner and the hubby got prime rib. My meal came with "steak", mashed taters, veggies, and a salad. His was the "prime rib", pilaf, veggies, and chicken soup. Starting with the soup and salad, the soup was overly salty and tasted like it was from a can. The salad was just some lettuce with a few rings of onion on top and some crusty croutons. Ranch dressing was questionable. Meat was absolutely disgusting, we both ordered rare and the stuff was 3 days past well done. While the pic may have some pink on the meat that had to be an anomaly because the stuff was dry and grey inside. Pilaf had absolutely no flavor at all and the mashed potatoes may as well have been wall paper paste. The corn could have had an ounce of potential until we got "butter" for it and whatever that stuff was wouldn't even melt. My husband ordered a "coke" which was really just some sort of cola but was overly sweet and undrinkable. Our server was inattentive and seemed pissed off as soon as we sat down. She seemed mad that we didn't eat our food or want to take the leftovers with us. Are you crazy, that food was absolute crap. In the end they took $15.00 off the bill. Never going back again. I'd be real curious to see what Gordon Ramsey would make of this place if it was on kitchen nightmares. can just imagine to atrocities he would find in the kitchen and cooler.

    $9.99 steak and fries. Comes with  soup or salad.
    Janell W.

    My 5 stars comes with a caveat. $9.99 for steak, fries, and a soup is insane! Now, if you ask for it medium or medium well, will you get it? No, you're getting a well done steak! Is this a 5 star restaurant? No. It's an old greasy spoon. But $9.99 for all that? It's good enough! And deserves 5 stars for "what it is".

    Pork chop with sides & salad (not pictured)
    Terri D.

    Landed in Reno and just wanted a quick, easy dinner. The casino is throw back from charming 80s. Take elevator to 3rd floor for Top Deck restaurant. Diner with fancy food - what a surprise. Ordered chili, eggs & hash and pork chop dinner. Pork chops pounded thin and pan fried crispy - simple & good. Got there late - were out of baked potatoes & balsamic dressing. Great value - $30 total, like back to 80s. Service small town friendly.

    Steak, Lobster
    Connie S.

    Top Deck is a very reasonable at the Cal Neva Casino. It's on the 2nd floor next to the escalators. So the locals go there to eat and gamble. But there was no wait to get a table. You can get a steak and eggs entree for $9.99 plus tax, tip. I had the Lobster and steak dinner. The steak is a bit tough. The next day, the steak tasted better. The lobster was small but a good add on appetizer. I'm a small eater and had leftovers. You get one side to add and it's extra to add a salad or soup. The bus and wait staff are really friendly.

    The beef barley soup was excellent!

Our server checked on us the right amount and our food came out quickly. We ordered the Giant Hamburger and the BLT. The burger was thick, juicy, and piled high with classic toppings, messy in the best way and full of flavor. The BLT was generously stacked with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and tomato on toasted bread, simple and satisfying. The only downsides were the fries and my drink. The fries were overcooked, dry, and a bit too tough. I ordered a vodka soda, and it tasted more like soda with a splash of vodka. Overall, it was a good experience and we would return.

Food-wise, there were some real highlights. The cinnamon roll with bourbon glaze was super yummy--honestly, it didn't even need frosting. I also tried the blueberry lemon cornmeal pancakes, which were excellent. I grabbed a peanut butter & jelly pop tart for later; the flavor was good, but the crust was a bit too chewy for my taste. I was hoping for more crunch and a stronger peanut butter flavor. For the mains, I had The Reggie Deluxe. It was good, but the gravy was surprisingly skimpy, which was a bit of a letdown. A biscuit dish like that should be absolutely smothered in gravy. We also tried the brisket biscuit--it was good, but not particularly memorable. The biggest disappointment, though, was the biscuits themselves. They were just okay and lacked flavor--like they needed more salt or butter. I couldn't help but compare them to biscuits I remember from places like KFC years ago or even Knott's Berry Farm--those had a richness and flavor that these didn't quite match. All in all, it was still a great experience. Friendly staff, clean space, and good food overall--just a few tweaks away from being truly outstanding.

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.

I also tried two of their specials -- the Salmon with Alfredo sauce and the Tenderloin sliders. Again, Alfredo normally isn't my thing, but the Salmon was cooked beautifully and the sauce was very enjoyable, especially since they accommodated my request for a lighter amount.
