    So nice to have a local place to shop for quality olive oil and vinegars. Love that you can taste everything prior to purchase. My biggest problem was I wanted to buy one of everything! Settled on some regular medium bodied extra virgin olive oil and black cherry balsamic vinegar but I'll be back for more flavors! This is perfect time to update your condiments with bbq and bountiful produce season around the corner!

    The place for for top shelf olive oils and delectable balsamic vinegars. Excellent variety, top quality and super easy online ordering. Latest order was 3 bottles of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and two balsamics. Ordered one day, arrived the next. Cannot say enough about the quality and service. Fun place to browse and sample as well. Tip: sign up to the newsletter and get 10% off first online order. Enjoy!

    HAS Military Veterans Discount. NOT disabled-friendly.

    Able-bodied friends had raved to us about this business so off we went to check out it. We tasted Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars with dozens of available variations, from traditional EVOO's and vinegars to infused flavors. Truth is the highest virtue, but higher still is truthful living. Something snollygoster George Santos lacks. Service staff graciously answered all our questions promptly which made a good first impression Did what they're in business to do Has average prices, with cool products made of fresh ingredients that enriches life Charged the prices posted Delivered what they advertise Place was clean and organized Ambiance was professional No one here offered to commit fraud to reward us, pay us or compensate us for posting 5 star reviews of this business Owners of this business like their Freedom so they have a Military and Veterans Discount as a thank you to Veterans with a publicly disclosed daily Military Veteran Discount which provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population. That earned 'em another review star for going beyond what they're in business to do. NOT disabled-friendly which lost 'em a review star. Not being disabled-friendly is more disabling on people with disabilities than their disabilities. "Though his name is little known among Americans today," writes Erick Trickey for Smithsonian, "he created America's professional army." February 1778, Baron Friedrich von Steuben arrived at Valley Forge, where Commander-in-Chief George Washington appointed him Inspector General of the camp and assigned Alexander Hamilton and John Laurens as his aides. Steuben immediately brought uniformity and professionalism to the American soldiers, who'd seen combat, but lacked military training to pose an effective threat to anyone. He started with training the ragtag American troops on basics -- meaning of orders, discipline, standing at attention, wielding a bayonet, teamwork, camaraderie -- and established standards for camp layouts and sanitation. He then developed a system of beginning, intermediate and advanced drill for the entire American Army and taught the Americans combat maneuvers that equipped them to rival anyone. Steuben's previous experience in the Prussian Army during the Seven Years' War prepared him to oversee and implement the military training the Americans so desperately needed, and by the end of the encampment at Valley Forge, America's Army had undergone a significant transformation, from ragtag and wearied recruits to an ordered and disciplined fighting force. Morale was now high. Steuben gave American soldiers "the kind of training and understanding of tactics that made them able to stand toe to toe with the British," historian Larrie Ferreiro wrote in his book, "Brothers at Arms." Steuben established system of Non-Commissioned Officers "NCOs" aka Sergeants and trained them who in turn drilled thousands more, creating an efficient system that "helped lead America to independence and laid the foundation of training that the Army continues to this day," according to NCO Journal, an official Army publication. Steuben's system of NCOs is still in use in all branches of the US Armed Forces. (today, May 3, is Air Force Sergeants Association Birthday) Revitalized, reorganized and uniformly trained, America's Army just four months later decisively displayed their newfound professionalism at Battle of Monmouth in June 1778. Friedrich von Steuben was significant not only for reshaping America's Army, but for the dedication, endurance, pride, resilience, and survivability demonstrated by the Americans learned them from Steuben. Friedrich von Steuben had quickly became one of Washington's most trusted advisors, eventually Serving as his Chief of Staff. Without Steuben's military genius, the American Army very might not have won America's War For Independence. Steuben was known by Washington to be gay, and Washington didn't care. Washington only judged people on their public life, and never their private life between equal consenting adults. A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference. -- Eeyore Washington's last act as Commander-in-Chief was to write Steuben a letter thanking him for his Service. December 23, 1783, "I wish to make use of this last moment of my public life, to signifie in the strongest terms my entire approbation of your conduct, and to express my sense of the obligations the public is under to you, for your faithful and meritorious services." Washington later became the 1st US President.

    Love this place! My go to for my oils and vinegars. They are so very friendly and helpful and. You can even sample the oils and vinegars. You can also learn how to make cocktails from vinegar! Amazing!

    My wife recieved a gift card for this place in a Christmas exchange. It is a shame it took us so long to check it out. Bighorn olive oil company is located in the Mayberry Landing shopping center at the bottom of the hill on North McCarran. They have numerous flavored olive oils and vinegars. These can be used for many purposes, most commonly oil and vinegar for salads. They can also be used for dipping breads, seasonings for pastas, marinades, etc. While we were there, a woman commented that you can't find anything like this in New York and we are lucky enough to have two in Reno! My wife strolled around the store checking out all the flavors and sampling several as well. They encourage you to sample them to figure out the combination that you like the most. She ended up selecting a Tuscan herb infused olive oil and a white balsamic vinegar. We would highly recommend this for all you foodies out there.

    Donna B.

    Simple store in the neighborhood that specializes in olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about the products they carry. They encourage sampling to be sure you have the right flavor for your needs. You won't find any other products- these are their specialties and know them well.

    Black truffle sea salt that Mercedes recommended me was so delicious on my homemade potato wedges! It made my Christmas dinner surprisingly gourmet. Blood orange infused olive oil in my salad was amazing, too. Yay!

    Jody was so helpful!

    I deleted my Amazon account this week and went on a local shopping binge. On the top of my list was the Big Horn Olive Oil Company. This is such a great shop for all kinds of special olive oils and vinegars. Family owned, they really give personal attention and help you select the perfect combinations. Today, I purchased the Dark Chocolate Vinegar paired with the Blood Orange Olive Oil. Doesn't that sound amazing over cheese, fruit, ice cream? Or mix the Chocolate Vinegar with a savory oil and spices and rub all over roast chicken. The other pairing I bought was the Mango Vinegar and Basil Olive Oil. Drizzle these two over a spinach salad with bacon and chopped, hard-boiled egg. These products make great gifts, too. Love this shop!

    Truffle oil. Risotto. Balsamic.

    As the weather warms up, fresh salad is what's for dinner! This is a great place to sample different combinations of oils and vinegars for your next plate of greens. The vinegars also make a great drizzle finish on desserts and marinade for meats on the grill. They also sell a handful of flavored salt, dry foods, and hand lotions. John, one of the owners, was super friendly and was genuinely excited to share his favorite flavor combinations with me. He encouraged me to sample them and they were all delicious! I could easily end up with more bottles than planned, but I will stick with only getting a few to keep clutter to a minimal. You can never go wrong with truffle oil! Truffle fries, truffle mac and cheese, truffle Potatoes, truffle pasta... it goes on... In the end, I was also convinced to try their risotto. Everything is packaged nicely. I'm a sucker for nice packaging. Now all I need are some chanterelle mushrooms.

    Murky liquid.

    I've purchased from Big Horn since they opened...for myself as well as gifts for others. My husband bought me a balsamic vinegar and some almond-stuffed olives for my birthday. He inadvertently grabbed the wrong flavor of vinegar. Also, the almonds were cloudy and he didn't notice until I unwrapped them. Returning the items 1 day after he had purchased them, I thought it would be a simple exchange. Nope. The young man clerking said absolutely NO exchanges or refunds and that the olives were just fine. He offered to open and strain them for me, when they were quite obviously spoiled or not properly canned! "Cloudy liquid in canned vegetables can be a sign of spoilage. In starchy foods, cloudiness may occur because the vegetables were too old or harvested too long before canning. Cloudiness can also be caused by minerals in hard water. If cloudiness becomes visible later on, it is probably due to spoilage and the food should be destroyed. Barbara Willenberg, Nutritional Sciences, University of Missouri-Columbia" Needless to say, they've lost my business due to horrible customer service. Even though they blame COVID, there may be other reasons the Las Vegas and South Reno stores closed...

    On with our awesome warm day in Reno, and while walking off lunch to get ready for dessert, we paid a visit to Big Horn Olive Oil. Initially we weren't going to go in BUT couldn't pass up the deal that they were having today - buy 5 bottles and get the 6th on free. Who can pass up that deal? John and his wife are the owners there and we had such a pleasant experience with John today. He gave us the 411 on olive oils and really know his stuff. I only know what I have read on the latest google search but what did keep my interest is that his oils are fresh and always fresh, because as olives are pressed and made into oil, he is on top of where they are made and the most fresh. The man knows his oil! We bought some die for balsamic vinegars. The fits one we tasted was the blackberry ginger. Pair thaat up with the olive oil and you have a great dipping sauce, marinade or salad dressing. I can't wait to use the neapolitan herb on our next tri tip bbq and the Sicilian Lemon on chicken or fish. Can you say bbq for dinner? My favorite might be the blenheim apricot. John explained to us that you can even put these vinegars in sparkling water for a refreshing water without the sugar and calories of soda. The stores has walls and walls of vinegars and oils. Made for a really nice afternoon and an educational one too!

I went for lunch and tried their 2 for $20 special, choosing the chilled celery soup and the Alpine sandwich. Both were delicious and full of flavor. My only suggestion for next time would be to ask them not to toast the focaccia. It was a little too hard to bite into, but aside from that, the sandwich was excellent. I also had the chance to try one of their meatballs with their house-made marinara sauce, and it was delicious. One of the things I really enjoyed about Madein is that almost everything on the menu is made in-house, with some ingredients sourced fresh from local producers. You can really taste the care that goes into the food. The service was wonderful as well. My server, Seirra, was very friendly and attentive. The owner, Shawn, was kind enough to come by and say hello and even walked me through some of the dinner specials. I also had the pleasure of meeting his wife, Marsha, who works there and was equally warm and welcoming.

This cute little Italian restaurant was recommended to us by one of my BF's coworkers, and while we can see the potential, it'll be a hard pass for us until they improve their kitchen pacing and service. We made a last minute reservation for Friday 6 pm (with the table being held until 7:45) and were seated promptly upon arrival. However, it took almost one hour and a half to get any of our dishes, and tables next to us were having similar issues, with one party only receiving half of their dishes (the other half wasn't entered into the kitchen queue correctly). We had to continuously check in with our server ourselves regarding our food, which was quite frustrating, although we appreciated how she ended up comping part of our bill. While we understand that she was quite frazzled and the restaurant was understaffed, I still think the restaurant would benefit from better staff training, especially during busy dinner rush hour. The food itself was hit and miss, but I was quite impressed by several of their seasonal items, which included a salad and lobster risotto (recommended to us by our server), and I hope they can incorporate it into their menu permanently. The squid ink pasta and crab linguine (also seasonal), however, were quite flavorless (and this is coming from a low sodium girly). Cocktails were alright as well, and I would recommend ordering from their wine menu instead, which includes several excellent Italian and local wine options.

The bartender was my server and he did an amazing job. I ordered the escargot style lobster first -- and it was INCREDIBLE. Easily one of the top 10 best things I've ever had. For my entree, I chose the truffle mushrooms with chicken and it was phenomenal. Cannot wait to go back -- and absolutely will be putting this on my short list of fav places in Reno.

    I've been past this restaurant many times and I always wanted to try it. I finally got to and I was…read moreable to enjoy a delicious dinner. Very happy to find a good lasagna where you can choose from having simple marinara or a bolognese sauce. We chose the bolognese and it was a perfect addition to the cheese lasagna. Plenty of cheese and sauce, the cheese pull was crazy. The veal Marsala was delicious, tender, and had great flavor. The sauce was rich in flavor somewhat lemony with plenty of mushrooms and coated the pasta perfectly. The pasta seemed to be very fresh and had great texture. We arrived 20 minutes after their 5 pm opening without reservations on a Friday and we had the option to choose the bar area which was great for us. The drinks were delicious. The basil mojito was very refreshing. The old fashioned was perfect and traditional. Great waiter and attentive. Helped me choose and offered me a good drink. Good Italian restaurant with a semi casual atmosphere.

    While visiting Reno, I found this butcher shop/restaurant on another social media platform…read more Everything they had to eat looked good and they highly recommended it. So I decided to give it a try. My husband and I were there for lunch. Upon walking into the store it is just so light and bright and open. The presentation of meats and seafood are displayed so beautifully. The menu for fresh food cooked right off the grill was right next to the cash register. My husband went with the bison, barbecue burger, and a side of fries, and I had the original burger with my choice of cheeses. Everything was prepared and served hot and fresh! We were offered ranch to go with our fries. I had a house made thousands island type sauce (but way better) to go on my cheeseburger. It was delicious. I asked one of the employees (Sarah) what was in it. She was very pleasant to talk to and very knowledgeable about all of their house made sauces. I told her that I loved the garlic in the Thousands island style sauce so she gave me a sample of their garlic aioli sauce! If you are a garlicholic like me, this is a must try!! Chefs kiss, for sure! I cannot recommend this location enough! When in Reno, it's a must try! If you go, tell Sarah her perimenopause, Indiana, garlic loving friend said hello!

    Been waiting a long time to try this place. It did not disappoint. Yes these are ~$20 burgers but…read moreyou get what you pay for. Top quality meat and different meat & cheese choices. (Their Classic in my photo is probably their least impressive looking burger.) I ordered medium rare like always at a high-quality joint but I accidentally got someone's medium-well, and after tasting both, I actually preferred the the medium-well as the grind on the rare part of the medium-rare was a little mushier than I'm used to. Probably because most places you order a medium-rare you actually get a medium. Not here. I'd go medium on a return visit. I like they don't overseason the burger with too much salt like a lot of other places. Eaters with palates desensitized to salt due to a lot of fast food/burger eating may find the need to add salt to satisfy their salt craving. The burger sauce is also served on the side and is a bit milder, and more homemade tasting compared to your average burger sauces. This is great because the meat is so good you really don't want to overshadow it with salty seasoning and overpowering sauces. If you're going to dump a bunch of salt and sauce on it, just go to In-n-Out. They also have sandwiches, tenders and chili. If you think about it, a butcher shop deciding to serve cooked food is taking a risk. If the food isn't that great it can affect their meat business. The shop atmosphere is very upscale with high prices to match it like the rest of Rancharra Village. Very limited indoor bar dining and some tables outside. Not sure if the really high prices for the meats and seafoods in the case are worth it, but the saying "you get what you pay for" at least applies to the burgers here. My only suggestion is take a sharpie and scribble the cook temp (medium, medium-rare, etc) on the paper in the burger basket so groups don't get their burgers mixed up. They verbally pointed it out but it's easy to forget by the time you get back to your table with 3, 4, or 6 burgers. Fry basket is a great value, easily enough for 2 people and probably some of the best thick cut fries I've ever tasted with sort of a very light seasoned crispy panko outer texture to them. Updated Reno Burger Rankings primarily on quality/taste but also value is factored in but to a lesser degree: #1 Armandos #2 Royce #3 Beefy's tied with The Parlor #4 Archies Giant #5 Juicy's
