Review is for restaurant: Came in en route from Vegas to Carson City. Had the Friday evening Prime Rib special, cooked to order (rare). Chose clam chowder, baked potato, and veggies (included in price). Service was very good. Food was good, as used to be common in Nevada for casino specials like this. Atmosphere was noisy and lively with families with kids, with minimal decor. Also ordered coffee. Total came to $28 before tip. All other sit down restaurants in town seemed to be closed at 7:30pm. Looks like this restaurant and casino serves as cultural hub for the area, as no other parking lots I passed had many cars. Would definitely return when passing thru town at suppertime again.

Been there a bunch of times. Usually decent food and friendly servers. Was there at 8:45 and they had plenty of people seated and ordering but refused to serve me because it was too close to closing. Drove to Reno to eat, doubt I will ever go back. Was a very unpleasant experience. I was apparently under the false assumption that they wanted business. My bad.

Burger was delicious but the greens on it were browns. Service was good; attentive staff. Prices and food were not calibrated.

Breakfast was good. Servers were nice. And attentive. Thank you. But if you are not a smoker, the smell will bother you. I had to take out my food because I couldn't handle it.

This review concerns their restaurant and not so much thier hotel or casino, although maybe thier bar tender as well. I've been here many times due to my job bringing me through town. I've always enjoyed spending a couple days down in the area, I find the town and people very layed back. The hotel is a very comfortable place to stay without breaking the bank. The restaurant has always had decent food and for the most part the staff are very pleasant and accommodating. Tonight, Thanksgiving Day was a massive disappointment. First the Thanksgiving special was very mediocre and at $18 a plate a complete disappointment (see photo). Our wait person seem to be pretty much indifferent to me sentiment when she asked how everything was. I ordered a draft beer and went to the bathroom. When I returned there was a small plastic cup at my spot filled with beer. I would have thought I should have ordered a bottle if it wasn't for the fact that the two other nights I ate there this week, my draft was a pint glass. When I addressed this with the wait person, she insisted it was a 12oz cup and told me it was all up to who was working the bar and walked away. Having a empty 12oz bottle still sitting on the table from the first beer I ordered, I poured the cup of beer into the bottle proving that the cup was 9oz at best. Without speaking with our wait person the bartender approached me in a somewhat confrontational manner and asked me if I had a problem. I explained my concerns and prior experience. He said he would remove it from the bill than took the beer off the table and threw it out. Not a pleasant experience for someone spending Thanksgiving over the road away from thier home and family. I'm sure they probably didn't want to be there either but I'm usually very generous with my gratuity specially when it's a holiday. I didn't feel this situation warranted my graciousness.
