50 Best American Restaurants in Reno

“Fresh, hot, delicious always.“

“The location is unassuming, with tables open to the second floor meeting rooms, but don’t let the casual layout fool you. The inner area is well-appointed and service staff polished. The menu is diverse and plating lovely. The cotton candy and breakfast bar parting gifts are thoughtful and delicious. A worthy stop.“

“The prime rib dinner is the best“

“The Thursday night Lasagna is the best but everything on the menu is tops!“

“the hangover helper is amazing 👏“

“Delicious food, good service. I love it“

“The Twisted Fork is not only a restaurant with great food, but also with a very positive and bright personality staff. We loved it there. We highly recommend it! Live music as bonus of the day!“

“This has become a tradition for us. Every time we come to Reno, we eat here. Cozy and lovely place. Not to mention the food that’s so yummy 🤤. The latest great change was in the kids menu, now they have pictures of the meals and I think that was an excellent idea to get the little ones to eat better.“

“This is pretty much our favorite place to go in Reno. We love the Cajun Chicken sandwich or a burger for lunch. Always hard to decide between the homemade french fries or chips, however the Italian dressing for the salad choice is always delicious. We love the chicken noodle soup and the beef vegetable soup (I may have those names slightly off). In the evenings, we love the prime rib. The warmed sour dough bread is delicious, so is the side of beans. Prime rib is always perfectly cooked as ordered. Huge ice teas are always on point and refilled quickly. Staff is so friendly. Even during construction, we can easily find a space to park out front, in the back or on the side.“

“Not at all what we were expecting. Think woodsy and hunting-style Hooters. Red and black shirts tied at the front, cut-off jean shorts and work boots. However the place was nice, the food was good and our server was lovely. Sports bar type of vibe, they also have a separate cigar room.“

“Food was amazing! We were sat at the bar right away, without a reservation. Bryce was great! He made sure everything was up to par, and that our drinks were perfectly made. We had really great customer service, great food, and great drinks! I highly recommend.“

“First time visit. Excellent food and great service. My new favorite spot.“

“Amazing, smiling staff! Quick, kind, on the ball service. Spacious parking and seating. I LOVE this place!“

“I don't gamble and I only stayed and ate here because of the marathon in town. I want to say that the staff were very friendly. They were working very hard and had a great attitude despite how busy things were. On my first day, Tricia provided great service. The pancakes for my marathon carb load were delicious. The next day after the race, I was served by Dhalia. She congratulated me on the race and was very conversational despite how busy things were. She kept checking on me. When she asked about the race, her team members came to listen in. That left a lovely impression. The carne asada omlette was tender and provided me the protein I needed for muscle repair. Keep up the great work! Dhalia, if you are reading this, go to the run store near Virginia Lake. Run clubs are fun and I wish you the best on your race training!“

“The atmosphere was fantastic, the Bloody Marys were excellent, and the food and owners were wonderful. I highly recommend visiting and enjoying the delicious food and drinks.“

“Love bordertown! It always exceeds my expectations with how friendly the staff are and how wonderful the food is.
I think in all the hundreds of times going there I never had one bad experience.
I highly recommend their daily soups and specials.
This place is one of the best food places I’ve ever eaten at!“

“Sitting down at the cafe & having Loyd greet us, chat with us, make us feel so welcome was the highlight of our day. He was relatable, proficient, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. He is definitely the GODFATHER of service! We’d come back for him alone! Thank ya LLOYD! xx your Alabama friends“

“bomb food as usual. them burgers, are on HIT“

“The atmosphere was fantastic, the Bloody Marys were excellent, and the food and owners were wonderful. I highly recommend visiting and enjoying the delicious food and drinks.“

“Ordered a salad with the
grilled/seared salmon. Salmon was cooked great. Salad on the other hand, was not good. Mushrooms were old and like an hour away from having to be thrown away. They threw a ton in just to get rid of them and lettuce was wilting. Not fresh at all. Our waitress wasn't a happy camper either. Her voice was raspy, so not sure she had a cold or was coming down with one. Didn't want to deal with her and go through the trouble. But again salmon was cooked perfectly.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“I dig this place. Blown away it was not jam packed. $5 kid meals. Awesome service. A few min drive from GSR. Food was cooked just right. Had an old school Reno vibe.

Parking: It is a hotel. You enter the restaurant from the main entrance of the hotel.

Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty“

“The meal was truly delightful, and the waiter provided exceptional service, assisting us in celebrating my father's 56th birthday. My only minor concern was the placement of the air-conditioning unit directly above our table, which unfortunately caused the food to cool rather quickly. Additionally, the extensive selection on the menu was a little overwhelming.“

“Wonderful experience at an awesome golf course. Thanks for your hospitality.“

“Mixed bag.
The coffee drinks were great.
The bacon was top tier.
The rest of the meal missed the mark.
I asked for crispy potatoes and they were not. The country fried steak and eggs were bland. I get the idea of a lowest common denominator when spicing food in a restaurant but this goes too far.“

“Our favorite place for date night. Amazing service, food, and cocktails!“

“Great little place to dine if here for a short overnight. The Italian soda was yummy! The salmon bowl (no kale- my preference) was delicioussss and really filling! Not to mention the service was quick, attentive and the overall atmosphere is very comfortable! Happy hour 4-6pm!“

“Absolutely amazing food and staff!! A must go to!“

“Amazing food, the sweetest staff and bonus is the Christian music playing. My daughter and I had the best time there.“

“Excellent experience!! We just wanted a quick drink before heading back to our house and they happily and readily accommodated our large party (we promised we’d be quick and we held up our end of the deal!)
Drinks were great, staff extremely friendly. Highly recommend!“

“Went to the Reno facility and was treated like a king. Jessica was our server with a pleasant smile and quick service. I had the chicken pot pie and it was scrumptious.“

“Great place. Food, drinks, and service outstanding. Great patio.“

“The burger and fries were so good! I told both employees you have the best burger by far! My second time trying the cheeseburger and I was so impressed and outdone! I highly recommend and customer service is always on point and very polite!“

“love this place, service is awesome drinks are great. love Reno and Lucky Beaver“

“friendly.. helpful....very clean..professional staff! reno location“

“Back again at Applebee’s in Reno and Cristina absolutely crushed it behind the bar once more!
She’s quickly becoming one of my favorite bartenders. Super friendly, attentive, and makes a great drink. She remembered what I liked from last time and kept everything running smoothly even when the bar got busy. The food came out hot and tasty as usual, but Cristina’s service is what really makes the visit stand out.“

“Held a private group dinner in the Den for a party of 22. Reserving this and all of the coordinating with Terra was pleasant and efficient! They were ready for us, service was excellent(thank you Emma), food was great, atmosphere was comfortable, all staff were friendly and prices were reasonable. Everyone in the group were happy!“

“This place is very good in all areas.“

“went here for the 1st time and it was pretty good. Only complaint some of the sauces they try to be cute with them and it ruins it. like Siracha in the Tartar Sauce for their fish and chips. I will never get that because of that. They put Tabasco in their Thousand Island that is stupid. But nice atmosphere good service and you can play Trivia that was fun. I had the pastrami it was good but I wanted regular Thousand island for it so that sucked. next time burger or Meatball Sandwhich“

“Amazing place, wonderful service and our server kay was really amazing. There cheesy Bruschetta🤤 my terrific turkey pesto 🤤❤️❤️“

“I recently ordered two medium cheese and charcuterie boards from The Cheese Board for a school event during Teacher Appreciation Week, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience! The boards were absolutely beautiful and featured a perfect variety of delicious, high-quality selections. The ease of ordering made the whole process stress-free, and my order was ready right on time. The location is easy to find, and pickup was smooth and convenient. Exceptional presentation, flavorful choices, and great service all around. I'll definitely be returning again for future events and gatherings!“

“We were invited to meet there for drinks and food by friends that live in the Reno/Sparks area. Going into a new place is always a crapshoot. The service was wonderful. Sarah the bartender/waitress was amazing. Food was fabulous. We will be back when we come to visit friends.“
