    Pancakes

    Great service and extensive menu. Great stop in Reno. We were driving from the Bay Area to Boise, Idaho. We left early so we were ready for breakfast when we drove through. Ask for salsa on the side - loved the green one!

    It was my first time in to Arnie's after an eventful week for my family. It was a nice change of pace to have a quiet slow paced morning and brunch with my kids. Arnie's is locally owned and family run and we were so glad we finally made the time to stay and wait for a table. They were BUSY, but it was so worth the wait. This is spacious restaurant with variety, quality food, decent servings at a great price. Miguel was our server, he was charming and helpful navigating all the choices on the menu. I looked over their specials board and I was so happy to see they offered specialty coffees and non dairy options for milk. I was spoiled with an espresso machine for my birthday this year, so I've become an espresso snob and I didn't get my fix at home before leaving for brunch, so I started with their dulce de Leche iced latte, my daughter had an iced matcha latte, and my sister ordered a mocha. I had to have their steak and eggs. My kids ordered pancakes and eggs, my sister ordered their stuffed french toast. Everything was cooked perfectly and the smell of pancakes were amazing that I caved and had more than two bites; every bite was heavenly. I can't wait to come back with the rest of our family. This was the best breakfast I've had in awhile. Thank you Miguel for your service and the rest of the staff for from getting us served so quickly after we were seated.

    So I decided to pick up breakfast for my son and take it to his work so I stopped at Arnie's this morning. It is always very clean in here. Also, the staff is always very friendly. The food is always fresh. I asked for a container for some Cholula to go and they said we will do that for you. They are always helpful. The food is always very tasty here at Arnies cafe. What days are a little slower? Weekends are always super busy. Which was nice to come here when it was a tad slower. The waiters and waitresses are always moving. They are very efficient here, especially on to go orders quick and back out the door to where I need to go.

    Quality/Quantity - Sorry it took me so long to finally visit and support. I think it is my loss though... Yelp ratings support the food and service we got today. Today we got the following: Special - Banana pecan pancakes. As a light eater, I was only able to eat half of my brunch and I saved the rest for dinner which I ate before we went to the Patagonia Event; see other Yelp Review. Everything was cooked perfectly; again, generous portions. Health Breakfast - My guest's choice. She is healthy, I am not, opposites attract, lol. She was only able to finish half her breakfast, so it was extra healthy, lol. She enjoyed her breakfast also. Ambiance - Good size space, plenty of table, counter, and private room seating. Plenty of mall parking. Open 7 days a week. Had two posted signs on the windows; see picture. Yelp hours differ slightly. To be safe, it is best to visit between 7am to 2pm, or call to confirm. Service - Excellent. 2.5 hour lunch; the company was great. Never felt rushed. We closed the place, I felt bad... So of course, we left a generous tip. Price - $40 + very generous tip. Thank you. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since July of 2024, we will be regular customers. I'm going to introduce you to my wife also, she has been doing a lot of brunches...

    Scrambled eggs, sausage links and hash brown part of the sausage-and-egg pancake special
    Myrna S.

    We went to Arnie's Cafe one weekday morning when we happened to be all off from work because trying to eat at Arnie's Cafe one weekday the weekend is pretty impossible since they're often super-busy. When dropped in, our5-person party was easily accommodated at a nearby table. The server got us a round of drinks: tea, water and coffee then afterwards, our entrees: chicken fried steak and eggs, a steak omelette, a one-egg breakfast with an extra egg, the sausage and pancake breakfast combo, and the two-egg breakfast special. The food was delicious; expertly prepared and had huge portions-- there was plenty of leftovers to make another meal. The service was great; the young man who served our party was courteous and attentive; overall, we had a great meal and an overall positive dining experience.

    This is amazing! Where has this place been all my life? Breakfast near the airport, this is a must try! The food is five stars! The staff are 6 of five! The next time I am out for breakfast, this is where we are going! If you go there tomorrow, please invite me! I'll pay for my own plate, but if you skip this, you are missing out!

    Chef salad
    Michele G.

    Hey there Party People Chillin in Reno decided to stick with the Locals joint theme and went to Arnie's Cafe for lunch. I would classify this as very nice Whole in the Wall joint. Minimalist on the decor but the Food was a super great value. You get great tasting decent sized portions for an even better price. It's family owned and operated everyone was super nice and the food came out quickly. We ordered the sampler, they seven allowed us to change one of the items...most places never do that. We had Chicken strips, onion rings and mozzarella sticks. Everything was great. The onion rings weren't greasy. The mozzarella sticks were flavorful and ooey gooey. The Chicken Strips were big and the BBQ sauce was just the way we like it and not overly sweet. We both had salads Chef salad and Buffalo Chicken Salad. The salads were good size and very reasonably priced. It just goes to show you that it's worth checking out the local hangouts and explore when you go to a new town. You will find hidden gems everywhere. Be kind to one another

    This was my first time here and WOW I'm glad I stopped by. This place was BUSY. I think the wait was twice as long upon our leaving, but the staff handled it really well. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and my SIL ordered the Chorizo & Eggs. Both were really good. What elevated my Bene? The fact that the English muffin was buttered and toasted to a nice crispy crunch. That little added texture really made it for me. My SIL asked for flour tortillas and they were homemade! The vanilla latte was really good and just the right size. I also posted updated photos of the menu so others can see pricing. Although they were incredibly busy, the servers remained attentive and kind. They've definitely seen this kind of crowd before, and dealt with it with ease (or at least pretended to ) We had a slight wait for our check and to-go containers but nothing I wouldn't expect on a busy Sunday. I'll be back again!

    Chilaquiles With Carne Asada or Grilled Chicken and Dulce de Leche crepes.

    The Yelp recommendations led us here and we are glad they did! We decided to go out for breakfast and found this spot was busy but no wait. The food was fast and flavorful.

    The CHILAQUILES with the red sauce and the carne asada is amazing best I've had! Service was good, clean establishment.

    Chicken club sandwich

    Objectivity warning: Self-admitting (American) breakfast food hater here. I'm not a fan of breakfast diners, but I'm willing to give all of them a fair shot, who knows, maybe this one will be vastly different/better than the others? Spoiler, this one is not. That's not to say it's bad, but it just doesn't stand out enough for me to wait to be seated to eat here often, or give it a good recommendation. The wait was pretty short, only about 10 minutes which we were informed of. It was probably their busiest time of the week, Sunday around around noon. The server was very nice and a helpful, never letting us go too long without checking up, and communicated well about things she still needed to bring us. The food was nothing special. It's what I'd expect, but nothing interesting. I got a sandwich, and my companion got the chicken-fried steak. The sandwich was pretty boring, and the gravy on the chicken-fried steak still tasted like uncooked flour, and not much else. I'd go back if someone else wanted to go and maybe get a Mexican breakfast item (I wasn't in the mood as I just had Mexican twice the day before).

    I can with a party of 8 and was surprised at how quickly we were greeted and seated. The staff here is super friendly. The food arrived fairly quickly after we ordered. I highly recommend the hot chocolate with yummy whipped cream and peppermint sprinkles. We ordered a few of the specials, Crunchy French Toast and Steak Chilaquiles. All the orders came with a generous selection of sides and the prices were extremely reasonable. The Chilaquiles were made perfectly with the eggs over easy and chile verde salsa which had some heat but tolerable. I ordered well done hash browns and they did not disappoint. Everything was seasoned well. I definitely recommend this place and look forward to returning annually.

    Caramel Latte
    Adam R.

    Nov 2nd 1st time trying this place. This place is popular for sure. Was greeted immediately, Table for 4 about 10/15 min wait not bad. Was pretty busy . Once seated Miguel was our server and was excellent. We ordered and food came pretty quick. Everyone enjoyed their food came out nice and hot. I had the traditional breakfast with huge bacon strips and hashbrowns and sunny side up and everything was cooked to perfection. Hashbrowns were cooked perfectly. Everything tasted really good. Our friend only had one problem with hers. The steak was overdone, but they quickly took care of it and got her another one cooked, medium rare. Everything was great . Typical diner ambiance but was really nice and clean. Bathroom was clean too. All in all enjoyable experience definitely will be back to try more stuff. Enjoy !!!!

This drink was actually curated by one of the employees, which makes it even more special knowing it was thoughtfully crafted in-house!

The pistachio complimented the coffee and the raspberry would be awesome with a non coffee drink.

It's a pretty large location with plenty to choose from. Customer service was great all around. They have large windows so you can see into the kitchen and watch pastries being made. Pastries range between $5-$7.50. So, they are pretty pricey. I got their Gruyere & Leek Grilled Cheese sandwich and it was a whopping $21!! Add prosciutto or bacon - + $3.25! For that price, I wondered if they milked their own cows and aged the cheese on property. The sandwich was served with a side of dressed arugula. The taste and execution of the sandwich was fine, easy to eat, etc. But the flavor wasn't anything that justified the price tag. I also got an orange marmalade iced latte - kind of whatevs. My MIL got the griddled banana bread which is a thick slice of banana bread, topped with sugar and honeycomb. Also, tasted pretty mediocre. As for Pastries to-go, I got the creme brulee kouign aman (5/5). I don't typically like kouign aman, but I loved the caramel-y flavor of the sugar and they stuff it with a generous amount of pastry cream. I loved it. I also got their Bostock which had peach. Also, very good, but nothing amazing. Tried their chocolate bouchon which were pre-packaged. While, extremely rich & chocolatey, they were dry. My MIL got their marzipan morning bun which I didn't get to try. After all was said and done, the total was over $85!! Yes, you will need to go here on pay day in order to afford this place. Lol. Tartine is my fave bakery in CA and while I do think they are also expensive, I was able to get more items totaling at $75. I'm glad this place is in Reno. It's far enough to not make me want to drive here regularly. But, I will definitely be back to try their other items. This is definitely more of a "TREAT YO SELF" destination. Love the ambiance, love that it's artisan, just don't know if the astronomical prices are justified.

Immediately loved the vibe; colorful, mural filled space with many seating options, a lunch counter and an outdoor patio area. Super chill, friendly staff serving an eclectic clientele. I'd give it five stars if they were a bit more on point with the Cuban end of things. My wife and I are Anglos, but we're both Miami natives, so we're kind of purists when it comes to our Cuban stuff. This was definitely more "Latin inspired." We were looking forward to traditional pastelitos, but found they had more Mexican sweets and a guava and cheese brioche, which was delicious, but not authentic. Our Cuban sandwich had no pork and the wrong bread (and came with tortilla chips?), but the sandwich itself was quite tasty. And our cafe cubano was a nice coffee, but a bit thin and had only the amount of sugar a sane person would add, which is about a third of what would be in the real deal. So if you want authentic Cuban, this isn't really it. But if you're looking for good coffee and food served by cool people in a warm, funky environment, this place rocks.
