Restaurants in Carson City

“absolutly amazing 👏. a must stop while in town”

“My wife and I have loved the Basil for years, for it’s delicious food, great service, and relaxing ambiance. I personally love the Basil because the food is always fresh, nutritious and great tasting. Recently we chose them to provide catering for a 35-person birthday celebration at our home. We were extremely impressed by the time and attention that Chai gave to the planning of our event. The result was a beautiful set-up of amazing food and appetizers. Our guests totally loved it! Whether it’s for a simple lunch, a romantic or family dinner, or all-out catering, we can’t recommend The Basil enough!”

“Freshest Donuts/Doughnuts anywhere! We get them for sure two times a year! Nevada Day and Christmas Tree 🎄 hunt day! They always have what kinds we like and they are truly scrumptious! The family is really nice too! This is a local family owned business for many years! We also get them other at times too just because! When I see that pink box, I know what I’m getting! Mmmmm”

“The soup and ice cream were yummy, and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely come back the next time we're in the area.”

“The Fox Restaurant & Brewery is a fantastic pub in the heart of Carson City! The traditional pub atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and full of character—perfect for a relaxing meal or casual night out. The service was excellent from start to finish—friendly, efficient, and impressively quick without ever feeling rushed. I ordered the Cottage Pie, and it was absolutely delicious—rich, hearty, and full of comforting flavor, with tender meat and creamy mashed potatoes baked to perfection. You can tell the kitchen puts care into every dish. If you’re in Carson City and looking for a great meal in a warm and inviting setting, The Fox is a must-visit pub. Highly recommend!”

“We stayed in Carson City for 4 days and did not find this place until the last day and we had the best lunch ever and the best waitress Julia, that we came back that night for dinner and had another AWESOME meal and waitress Brittney. Thank you so much for such a great last day in your city.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Duke's Steakhouse! The atmosphere was beautiful, welcoming, and made for the perfect place to celebrate. The food was fantastic, but what really made our visit special was the outstanding service.
A special thank you to Neal for being so friendly and attentive. He took the time to check on us throughout our meal, wished me a happy birthday, and even congratulated me, which made the evening feel extra special and personal.
Our waitress was amazing as well—attentive, kind, and always making sure we had everything we needed. The entire staff made us feel valued and welcome from start to finish.
Thank you all for helping make my birthday celebration so memorable. We will definitely be back!”

“So tasty. I love how it’s natural without and added sugar!”

“Couldn’t believe this restaurant been open 25 years where the heck am I been?”

“Best sushi we've had in Nevada. Lived in southern california for over 30yrs and its on par with sushi from there. Service was prompt but didn't hover. Couldn't have been better. 👍👍”

“Best blended coffee ever!”

“Love coming to Piazza. Especially, Grace the bartender. She's always so friendly and she makes the best Espresso Martinis!!!”

“Love, love, love Wednesday nights with Saxy Frank🎷🎷”

“Awesome place to go Excellent Food Excellent prices Pool tables”

“Extremely satisfied with this particular Olive garden! The customer service was over the top. Attention to details were great. The new promo food was delicious. Very happy with my experience. Will certainly be back. Thank you Olive garden Carson city crew!!”

“A friend recommended we try this place and I’m so glad we listened. They were able to accommodate us last minute for my husband’s birthday.

“Highly recommend, from decor to the food to the service. I give it 5 STARS. The salad was prepared very well. the burgers were cooked just how we like them. The presentation when the food was brought was done exquisitely. Service couldn't be any better the waitress and help staff was superb.”

“Delicious Chinese food! 😋”

“Had my husband’s 60 th Birthday Celebration there.. no stress, good food..& the owner Jennifer made sure all my 100 plus guest are seated.. buffet food were refilled fast. Everyone had their fill & lots of fun. Thank you Jennifer. Oh. I almost forgot she also gave me a box of fish to go😍😍”

“amazing burgers, gotta love Renegade 💕”

“Very pleased with everything this place has to offer. Staff is top notch when bringing you a drink. Smokes are cheap oh and bic lighters a 1$ you cant beat that anywhere I promise that. I mean everyone snags or always has the same color as you when it comes to lighters so holding onto them is difficult so thank you dottys for that for sure. The machines are great to play winning is decent I see others win quite frequently I just have crazy luke I guess but still good spot to visit. It's every right off the freeway so hopefully off and go play to take mind off driveing.”

“.....Price.../...Value..... That's how we shop right? That's how we rate commodities? That's why I'm giving them 5 stars. 24 hours a day as well? If you're up at 1 am and are starving then you'll give them 6 stars for something unattainable in your kitchen or anywhere else at that hour for that matter. Real ingredients. Real food. None of that fake crap coming out of this restaurant. I've never had Mexican food in Mexican, but I'm guessing that this is that. Upsized giant burritos are probably the only change. Know your crowd lol.”

“My wife and I love the atmosphere and customer service. We frequent often and we adore Barbara, the Hostess/Greeter. All we ask, regarding the coffee, is that you assess the brand and/or water to ground coffee ratio. No where near the quality of surrounding casino coffees. It tends to keep us away for that reason only, lately. Thank you.”

“good and fresh very busy as usual but worth the wait”

“Always a good spot for some delicious Mexican snacks or drink!”

“Friendly staff and a good selection.”

“Her tamales are tasty, though I find them a bit small—I wouldn’t mind paying a little extra if they were more generously filled. I also wish I could dine in, but her space is too small for me and my family. That said, the customer service is always excellent.”

“Best pupusas I have ever eaten. Everything is made from scratch, and Jose, the owner, is such a great personality and cares so much about his customers. I've been eating here about every month for nearly seven years and have no plans to quit anytime soon.”

“best Mexican food we have had in carson. wish we would have gone there years ago. service was great as well.”

“I love this place! I go here every time I’m nearby. Food and service couldn’t be better.”

“On our way back from Yosemite we stopped for dinner at 7pm. My wife had the Cajun Chicken Pasta with blackened chicken and a dinner salad. She Sid her Mel was excellent. The chicken was so tender it could be cut with a fork. She said she would have liked the Cajun seasoning on the pasta too. I had the 12oz Prime Rib with baked potato and house salad. East Coast Prime Rib is very tender and extremely fatty. The Prime Rib I ordered he very little fat and was very firm tasting. It came with two types of butter, sour cream, cream horseradish and au jus. My meal was very filling and excellent. Our waitress Shanna was very good.”

“As many have noted, the service is excellent, the food is great, cooked to perfection, Doug is a very congenial host so it's almost like eating at home without the cleanup afterwards. Being a surfer, I appreciate tbe beachy ambiance especiall in an old west town. It's vrey refreshing.”

“We were introduced to this restaurant last year by our dear friend and neighbor. We were living in TX at the time. FF to now. We moved to Carson March 1st. This has been our go to Mexican Restaurant for over 7 months now. We have tried several, but still come back here. The food is outstanding. The owner is really sweet. Best waiter around is Bobby. Request him any day but Wednesday!! He will take care of you. All the waitstaff have been amazing. Food is always hot fresh and made to order. Actually going there today for lunch as it's been a few since our last visit. Will post pics on my next review!! The #27 is our go to. 4 enchiladas. We will get 2 with the ground sirloin and 2 with cheese with rice, refried beans and albondigas soup. We share for lunch and have enough to eat for dinner. 5 stars across the board”

“My wife & I love this restaurant. Their location at Longley & McCarran is ideal for all of South Reno, and a nice, really short drive for the residents of Hidden Valley and Donner Springs. The staff is super friendly, and the wait for your meal is truly minimal. Best thing is the food quality and generous pours. 2nd best thing is their “no rush” philosophy, so you don’t feel rushed to eat at all. Plus they have ample space for larger groups. This is a great restaurant, and everyone should take advantage of the location and experience.”

“We found by walking in a few years ago on vacation. Loved the Oxtail soup. We frequent every time in the area a cities a year. We have the same server who is fantastic. We've never had a bad meal or experience.”

“Everything is really fresh! Menu is amazing and all the staff are really friendly! Highly recommend.”

“This place was surprisingly good for a Cafe in the hospital. Prices were great! Had the Italian wrap with onion rings & drink, and Chicken fingers with a drink all under 20.00. All Large portions. A good selection of foods and drinks. It's a Cafeteria type setting, but flows well, even in busy times. I'm sure if something wasn't done to your liking, they would correct it right away. Great cooks and great customer service. Keep up the good work, Sage Cafe.”

“Best sushi in Carson City🍣!!! We love the whole family who gives us good service with smiles🤩. Marvillosos 🥰!”

“The food is delicious. I had the swordfish, the lemon sauce was perfect. If I could have licked the plate I would have. My husband had the stuffed cabbage he was very impressed. Service was amazing.
Alec was professional as well as bringing the little jokes and smiles to our evening.
He was great at suggesting a wine we really enjoyed. He did a great job making sure everyone in the room was happy.
The ambiance was relaxing. We will for sure be back! It's nice to have a different kind of place to eat in Carson City.”

“This place is outstanding! It’s a must for anyone who likes all the good stuff!”

“Very cool little bar. Speakeasy feel. Great staff!”

“Great Live Music! Please bring have The Turkey Buzzards back. Love the Tap Shack!”

“LOVE THIS PLACE. I recommend it to everyone I know. Hands down best Mexican food in Carson!! It’s so flavorful, delicious we get it at least twice a week. We love the tacos!”

“Absolutely delicious 😋 Staff helped me carry out a large order for our shop. Always pleasant and helpful.”

“Personas muy amables nos atendieron y sirvieron nuestra mesa con comida de primera. El molcajete Tres carnes (3 meats molcajete) es espectacular , incluso llevé parte de este ya que es una porción grande y al día siguiente lo degusté en mi almuerzo. Las fajitas y la sopa de tortilla que degustamos fueron tan buenas que hoy me encuentro haciendo este review sentado nuevamente en una mesa del Restaurante Águila Real ordenando nuevamente la Sopa de tortilla y probando otro nuevo platillo el cual estoy seguro estará delicioso. Este restaurante atendido por una madre y sus tres hijos y con precios razonables está altamente recomendado en mi opinión”

“Staff is amazing! Heather makes the best drinks, hands down!”

“Good places to go for dinner”

“Food was really good. Had 5 of us, they were a little busy and waited about 10 min. Got seated and drinks quickly but waited for our waiter for about 20 minutes. We all enjoyed the food. Would recommend and will go back next time in town.”

“Really cute spot with a fun atmosphere. I’ve enjoyed both coffee and a smoothie and both were tasty. Also ordered a blueberry muffin that was very good but totally fell apart and was messy. Lost a star because it’s a little pricey to visit regularly, but excellent as a treat every now and again!”

“Best coffee In Reno! Would like for them to offer a 16oz drip cup.”

“Because we were up charged for everything. I ordered a burger that came without mayo or mustard and when I asked for mustard it was an additional .50 my husband asked for blue cheese instead of ranch it was also an additional .50 we ordered a child sized apple juice which was over $5 but the worst part was the service. Our waitress was the worst. She never asked if we needed anything so many things. I took one bite of my burger and it was so nasty. The other guests were nicer than she was. At $175 for our meal our service should have been better. We will certainly pick another restaurant for our next visit to Carson City.”

“I loved my Chile relleno burrito! The red sauce is fantastic. The margarita was yummy and refreshing. I want to try the horchata the next time since they were sold out. So yes, I will come back again for sure.”

“10 out of 10 recommend! Literally the best pizza in town. We just had our daughters birthday party here and the staff was phenomenal. We will definitely be returning!”

“I love this coffee house in carson city! They are so friendly and Ava was great! She made my brokers! iced cinnamon caramel white mocha with an extra espresso shot to perfection! If you're in the area stop by! Pricing is so worth it! If you cant afford great coffee Starbucks might be more your speed! This isn't s place for brokees!”

“Paint and sip class every Wednesday night at 6:30 pm with For the Love Paintings”

“Super yummy and they give generous amounts of everything! Their rewards system is cool too. Kids love it.”

“I've lived in Carson City 35 years Coco is my favorite over all the years best food ever super fresh super tasty always a fantastic meal here at Coco's”

“great small, cozy neighborhood bar”

“Yesterday was my 38th anniversary, and hubby suggested coming here. We hadn’t been there for years, loved it back then. Why did we stop coming? No clue. The food was amazingly delicious! Service was fabulous! We have enough leftovers for at least 2 meals! We WILL be back and tell our friends!”

“There were four of us that had lunch at Peg's in Carson City, on April 11. The food was expensive and not what it use to be like before Covid. We had a very rude waitress and the food was a very poor quality and not as it was ordered. Carson is really growing, but you need to keep your quality up or you will not get return customers. It will be a long time, if ever, that we visit again.”

“We are here after walking in the NV day parade, this poor kid is working the entire place by himself! The line is out the door, and hes upbeat, keeping pace, working hard! Shout out to Troy!”

“As a type 1 diabetic this place is perfect, the best natural smoothies with NO hidden sugar and excellent service.”

“Great food! the wait is worth it. If you're patient is fine, but a little tip for those inpatient people; call ahead, you wont regret it.”

“First timer for lunch. The server was quietly competent and friendly. The soup & appetizers that came with the vegetarian lunch combo were quickly delivered and piping hot! Thank you for that! The chow mein that accompanied the tofu vegetable dish I chose was nothing to write home about, but the veg dish was both tasty and abundant for a lunch special. Tofu had a nice texture & the sauce over the dish was a good consistency & flavorful. Located deep within a sprawling laborynthine shopping complex south of town, it was not a place you would happen upon. But, I'll be back. It was surprisingly good!”

“The spicy pork bulgogi bowl is delicious as are the tofu nuggets!”

“Ed’s Doghouse has the best prices in town hands down. The drinks aren’t measured and are always poured to your liking. You will get nothing but smiles from the bartenders and owner when stopping by for a quick drink.”

“Went for a drink. Was taught that life is full of beautiful people inside and out. Bartender beautiful young with old sole love for people and community. Great atmosphere be your self..you will be treate accordingly. Eat drink and be marry put the politics and religion down.”

“Great food, love their Tacos and Burritos! Can’t wait to try other dishes. Definitely worth trying⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I love this Mcdonald's. The staff treat you like family. Never have cold or stale food. Angie is amazing she services you quickly, efficiently and with a smile. What more could you want? 5 million stars for Angie and her team at Mcdonald's. Wooh! Big Mac with nuggies and fries !!!!”

“The manager, Jesse. Is always amazing. He greets every guest with such enthusiasm and exceptional customer service. Electra is such a joy as well.”

“First timer, great pizza great draft beers. Clean restaurant but weird music sounding from kitchen as someone crying never heard like this track louder then outside music,was sitting on bar . definitely will come back”

“As many have noted, the service is excellent, the food is great, cooked to perfection, Doug is a very congenial host so it's almost like eating at home without the cleanup afterwards. Being a surfer, I appreciate tbe beachy ambiance especiall in an old west town. It's vrey refreshing.”

“Came in for a beer, great selection, found a chef by the name of Charlie and let me tell you..The Best Burger ever. I love the nostalgia great small town bar. Great service wonderful food!!!! Stop in!!!”

“It's a hole in the wall neighborhood bar...and that makes it cozy...we walked in and everyone was so friendly...well that is except the bar tender, made us feel like she could care less if we were there or not...even after spending $100 on drinks for our group throughout the night we couldnt get even a smile outta her...we really liked the regular gang and the kareoke was fun, though they need to turn it up a bit, especially the mike...and we would love to come back there, but prob won't only because of the sour puss service...”

“Not easy to get in and out of, one way in and one way out, drive thru is really tight, when it's busy the drive thru cloggs up the whole parking lot.Not a good one if your in an RV or towing a trailer. Otherwise Big, clean, fast, nice dining room and the bathrooms aren't locked.”
