$17.99 for Lobster & Prime Rib?! I can't complain! Saw this place on social media and I dragged my husband here when we were in Reno for the weekend. It's located inside Cal Neva Casino and the menu prices are all reminiscent of the early 2000s! My husband got the prime rib and lobster combo and I got the country fried steak breakfast. For the low pricing, it was honestly decent! You can't come in expecting 5 star quality for $17.99, but we were happy with what we got! Lots of people hate on this place but how can you when the price is that low?!
Ok my peeps the Top Deck restaurant in the Cal Neva Casino is still alive and well. Lost count how many times we have been here. Best food prices, portions are generous food is served hot and plentiful really. The service at times is confusing at times but hey the food is good for the price. Now the whole property needs a lot of TLC but hey it's Reno . On a budget in Reno this is a good place to get a bit. Enjoy have fun go check em out.
Went in for a quick snack to share with the hubby before the baseball game. Was seated very quickly. Ordered the chicken fingers and an order of onion rings to share as they didn't have a side order of French fries that showed in the menu. The food came out fast. The chicken tenders were good but could have been cooked a little more well done. The onion rings were okay, mainly because they just tsst r like they bathed in a bucket of grease ( yes I know they were deep fried). The menu overall looks tasty but if I go back I'll definitely steer clear of the onion rings.
This is my favorite restaurant to hit up whenever I'm in Reno. Back then my family and I would always eat here during our family trips, and it's safe to say that not much has changed. The menu is the same, the food is still delicious, and the best part: the prices are still cheap. They might have increased a bit, but only marginally. Back then you'd be able to get prime rib for like $10 but now it's $15, which is extremely reasonable considering other places charge minimum $25 for the same thing. Service was a little slow while we were here--there might have been a mix up with servers because there wasn't anyone to wait the table we were seated at, so another employee had to step in to help us. Other than that, everything went smoothly. We ordered our stuff, received our food, and devoured it. I usually order the prime rib with mashed potatoes and veggies. It always hits the spot. Don't expect top notch quality prime rib, but for the price, it can't get any better than that. I will continue to come back to this place when I'm in town.
This is a great place for that old Reno feel where the food is good and affordable. This cafe like restaurant has a great selection of American fair.
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.
I saw the 777 special and I came to try it . The ham was huge and the hash browns crispy . Fast service within 10 minutes of ordering . Your meal should be at your table . Looks like Reno ambiance . A little bit country .
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.
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.
The staff was super friendly fast service. The food was great I had the steak and eggs special I added the onions and cheese to the hash browns Everyone around was having a good time laughing and enjoying themselves I will definitely be back lol like tomorrow It was like $22 bucks for two steak and eggs breakfasts nice deal for a couple wanting a good cheap breakfast the quality was on point
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

Looking for a family friendly, inexpensive and delicious place to get breakfast, lunch or even dinner in downtown after a night of rabble rousing or a day of exploration in Tahoe? Well look no further than Top Deck Restaurant: a local hidden gem and, in my opinion, the best part of Cal Neva Casino. Ive been eating here for years. They are known for their $7.77 breakfast which includes eggs anyway you like them, sausage, ham or bacon, hash browns or toast. They also make a mean surf and turf. I personally love their TD double burger with fries and a side of their homemade chili, available all day. So find yourselves a booth, a seat at the bar, play some keno while you're dining, and enjoy a great meal and attentive service. IHOP and Dennys simply can't compare with Top Deck for breakfast. Note: the restaurant is located on the third floor of the casino and the easiest way to access it is off center street and up the escalators adjacent to the parking garage. read more

If you are looking for value with supersized portions, look no further than than Top Deck. We had a party of 5 for lunch. This came recommended by my uncles who love a good value meal. It feels like you are in a time capsule when you eat there. Decor is from the 70s-80s. The service is hit and miss. There was no host to greet folks, but our waiter was really nice and gave good recommendations. We had the chicken Parmesan $13.99 along with the chopped chicken salad $12.99. Portions could feed at least 3 people. Literally they took 1 pounds of noodles and put tomato sauce on it. read more

Friggin classic old skool Reno baby!!!! I walked into the casino and all I could see is smoke, old people, crazy locals and cheap alcohol. And I LOVED IT. The security saw me and came over to ask if I was lost haha. I told him I was looking for Top Deck and he looked at me like I was crazy. But he said ok "follow me." We went through the casino and then outside to an alley way then back inside to another casino. He literally escorted me through 1970 to the elevator that lead to Top Deck and wished me goodbye. The elevator opened on the high floor and lo and behold it was old as hell up there too. I walked into the waiting area of Top Deck and there were workers but hardly any people. I knew I had to be in for a treat for sure. The lady looked around as if to find a good spot and sat me in a big booth in sight of the entry and the cooks. It was wonderful. I asked her what her favorite plate was and she said "chicken fried steak." I said girl It's 5pm not 8am. Hahaha. The waiter guy came over. He was this young white rough looking 20 somthing. Odd because everyone else working looked to be 120. He was pretty blunt and I asked lots of questions. He answered every question perfectly in a very blunt scruffy way. I ordered the Prime Rib and Lobster with a cup of coffee. Hell yeah! The coffee came. Old ass white cup and nice and strong. It tasted like heaven in a world of starbucks hell. As I enjoyed me coffee, all the workers came by one by one to check on me. Were they that bored or do they just care about me? Either was I was happy. Even what looked like the manager came by. He told me he worked until 9pm and I told him that 9pm is just around the corner. He replied "it can't come soon enough" in a somber but real way. I also noticed people, customers started showing up. First in pairs, then in small groups and a huge group came it too. All of a sudden the place was packed. Gamblers and locals I think. The food came and I was blown away by how big the plate was. Huge. Big ol cut of prime rib albeit it was thin (you can order a thicker cut). A small to medium lobster tail (fresh water?) and friggin old skool hospital looking mashed potatoes and gravy! I was in heaven!!!!! Also came with drawn butter, au jus, pure horseradish and creamy horseradish. The young waiter even explained to me the difference between the horseradish not knowing that I eat horseradish at the best steakhouses in the world. The prime rib was tasty but not the best cut but it reminded me of the old skool days eating out with my parents 40 years ago. A long piece even got stuck in my teeth and I had to make sure I chewed it really well so I didn't choke on it. It was magical. The lobster was awesome too. Not flaky and soft like expensive lobster but kinda rubbery in a good way when you cut it with a knife. The mashed potatoes and gravy way totally yummmmmmm. Like the school cafeteria during Thanksgiving. I loved and cherished every bite of the meal. I finished every single bite and drank my coffee and people watched in fullness and joy. I even drank the rest of my au jus from the plastic cup. I went to pay the bill at the front register and there were three ladies paying in front of me. They looked like they just came from skiing and they spoke Spanish. They had a single bill but had the worker read out everyone's order separately and then deducted it from the reciept. The worker apologized for the delay. I had no problem with it. A couple of the workers waved to me and smiled goodbye to me. As I got up to pay I wondered what in the world those 3 ladies ordered that their bill was in excess of $400 when my completely fulfilling meal was about $22. The worker lady said "they had a good time for sure." I loved my experience and joyfully tipped 50% for the great time. I should have tipped 100% now that I reminisce. As I got down to the bottom of the elevator at the bar, I saw the security guard watching the football game. It was the big 49er game. I told him "mannn I am full." He replied "no doubt my brother." THANK YOU TOP DECK and for whatever casino hotel it's located in. I had a great time that reminded me of times past and gave me new memories to laugh at to last whatever time I have left on earth. Peace and JESUS loves you if you've read my review this far. read more

My girlfriend Shana and I went out for my favorite meal Steak and Lobster. Hey look...you can get it with Prime Rib. As always excellent service but truly the most exciting part of our excursion was Manhar. He was fantastic. Not just another great employee but a true gentleman. Really went the extra mile to insure we had the perfect lunch. Thank you again Manhar. read more

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 read more
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!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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". read more

I was back in town, so I decided to come over for breakfast. Unfortunately, the days of the $.99 Ham and eggs are long gone. Still, where else can you get a steak and eggs for only $9.99? Again, the place was clean, and everybody was friendly. I got my food quick. I asked for my steak , medium, and that's how I got it. Sure, the steak had a little bit of a "chew" to it, but really, not bad at all. The flavor of the steak was absolutely delicious. My eggs came perfectly over easy just like I asked for them. The hash browns were not greasy at all. They looked like they were overdone, but they were just right. Once again, I was very satisfied with my meal. Thank you. read more
Oh yes yes I recommend this place. Okay I've only been here once and I had the prime rib and it wasn't quite right, but it was right in old school sort of way! My friend had the land and sea which looked better to me and I wish I would have gotten that but when you're in Reno I think you should eat the prime rib! But this place takes me back to when I was younger, the way I remembered Reno. I love Reno actually. I'll take Reno over Vegas any day! Come here expecting old school honest restaurant food and you won't be disappointed. Enjoy the atmosphere! I was here last October and the staff was really nice. I parked across the street at some lot but they have their own lot there which I should have utilized. I'll check this place out again next time I'm in town! read more
Top Deck Restaurant is located on the third floor of Cal Neva. The immediate first thing I think of is how they advertise their $9.99 Steak & Eggs which is a steal. Friends and I were craving Steak & Eggs so decided to come here on a Friday night. The restaurant was not busy - we were seated immediately and our waiter was attentive with getting our orders right away and checking up on us throughout the meal. I ordered my Steak & Eggs medium rare and it came with eggs, hash browns, and your choice of bread (I got sourdough). Our food came out in a timely manner. My steak turned out fine, it wasn't the best but also not the worst. There was not anything memorable about the food itself. Unfortunately, my friend must have had a bad cut or something because her meat was very chewy - she had to spit it out. My other friend ordered the chicken & waffles and he was pretty disappointed. His chicken was 2 small chicken tenders on top of a full waffle. It was not an equal ratio and the amount of chicken was minimal for the meal. With that, he was still hungry after the meal. Also, when I asked for A1 sauce they said they didn't have any steak sauce. To me, it was surprising considering that they have multiple steak entrees. The best part about the experience was truly the price of the meal. I spent less than $12.00 for the entire meal and I was pretty full at the end of it. However, I did get a tummy ache later that night. At the end of it all, I would go to a different place to satisfy my Steak & Egg craving. read more
