    Clubhouse sandwich w/o ham or Swiss w/ fries. Shrimp po boy with broccoli & carrot soup.
    Kimberlee N.

    Found this spot on Yelp while looking for lunch in the Reno area. The food was so good! Service was amazing! Shout out to our server, Emily for helping me choose my lunch today. She was spot on! Very knowledgeable about the menu & helped me decide on the shrimp po boy. It's so good! Huge! A little spicy & cronchy! I got the soup of the day as a side-broccoli carrot. Very tasty & fresh but a bit heavy on the flour. My other 1/2 got the clubhouse sandwich & left off the ham & Swiss with fries as her side. She absolutely loved her sandwich! It looked so good & very fresh as well. I definitely helped eat some of her fries dipped in their yummy ranch. The fries taste handmade. They were sooooo good! Devote in here is very country with lots of horns on the walls & some games to play. Restroom a was nice & clean...whole place was. I would definitely recommend coming here when in town.

    Big horn burger w/o the bun

    I absolutely adore this spot. I came in for dinner and had the best experience. No wait.. both servers were attentive and extremely friendly. It's a small town feel that makes you feel right at home... even eating alone I had the quinoa salad to start. omg! This is so good! The sweet potatoes and the kale pair well . The dressing pops this whole dish up ! Red crispy radishes and loaded with kale and quinoa.. this salad is now my new favorite!!! Next I had the Big Horn Burger with no bun and a soup instead of fries. The soup was phenomenally seasoned work flavors that are what makes comfort food great! I enjoy my burger medium rare.. more on your rare side. And they did not disappoint! The house made pickles and fresh patties really set this burger on top for me. I had the big horn Manhattan which was absolutely smooth and bold with a great heat that reaches your heart.

    Came here for breakfast and seated right away. Always love staring at the mix of decor. I ordered the chorizo breakfast tacos with potatoes. Portion size was good and it was tasty! The service was also great. Would come back again.

    Prime Rib
    Derah M.

    I came here on a Thursday around 5 PM and it was already pretty busy, but the atmosphere was lively and fun. They have a lot of healthy options on the menu, which was a nice surprise compared to typical fried bar food. I ordered the veggie wrap with steak and a Caesar salad. The food came out quickly, and while the Caesar dressing was a bit too bitter and acidic for my taste, the veggie wrap was excellent. The ingredients were super fresh, the pickled veggies added a great kick, and the steak was juicy and cooked perfectly. The service was also great. The staff were friendly, and our server gave us an awesome recommendation for a blueberry rum cider. I don't usually drink but there was a happy hour special that was too good to pass up. The cider was smooth and fruity. It didn't have a strong alcohol taste either which was great. It was pretty busy. There were lots of TVs playing different games too. It was a bit noisy and difficult to hear the person across the table from me but it's expected bc it's a tavern. Overall, good food, great service, and a solid spot with a lively atmosphere.

    9/11/25 FYI. Dinner time!! Prime rib special & 3 appetizers for $15 HH. Plus our HH beers, Parley Reds
    Lee D.

    Note to self - Do NOT order the fries, they have been soggy my last two visits! Update - This would have been a 4 star review if someone told me why my Prime Rib Special was $22? A price increase or because I got fries instead of a potato...? Quality/Quantity - Been craving red meat for a while. If you are following, you know I have been eating healthy, too healthy... So I am here for that $20 Prime Rib special! See pictures. Prime Rib Special - Cooked perfectly!! Interesting cut, someone cut this slice diagonally, so one side was thicker than the other. Either way, it was cooked perfectly! Swapped out my baked potato for fries but kept the veggies. The au jus sauce was interesting, I can not describe it. It was not bad or good, just different from what I expected. I amazingly, as a light eater, ate the whole meal, and with TWO beers to wash it all down. Guess going to the gym 3-5 times a week is building an appetite? Or is it that I eat too much salad and am starving?!?! Oh, my fries were soggy, again.... My wife got the 3 appetizers for $15; she orders the same appetizers every time. She felt the sliders were dry and the taco meat had little flavor. She always enjoys the pickled cabbage and her chicken tenders. Atmosphere - Small indoor space, but plenty of outdoor seating (it was a cold evening today). I feel a beautiful outdoor space. You just need to turn on the fire pits and outdoor heaters. Darts, shuffle board, pool... but no one is playing?!?! Are those for decorations only? Or to be used on slow nights only? See pictures. We got here right before the rush at 4:58pm. At 5pm, the prime rib specials start. Plenty of mall parking, just be careful if you have a big truck as the parking spaces are small. Open 7 days a week from 9am to 10pm or midnight. Service - Good, considering how busy they were. Levi did a good job "manning" the bar and bar tables. Plus making all the drinks for the rest of the restaurant. Price - $50 + tip. Expensive for happy hour, but worth it. Well, except for not knowing why there was an extra $2 charge for my $20 ($22) Prime Rib Special?!?! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2011, we are customers at both your locations. But to be honest, we prefer the Lakeside location.

    Had brunch this morning at Bighorn Tavern-love that they serve till 1:00! Pineapple mimosa was delicious as is everything from their bar. We had the French toast with strawberries, eggs Benedict and jalapeno cheddar cheese bagel. Everything was delicious! Service was great. We ate at 11:00 on a Sunday and they were very busy but staff was handling the crowd like pros. Highly recommend!

    Bbq burger
    Bridget H.

    Not terrible, but not impressive either, the food was edible, just nothing to write home about. The place was busy when we arrived, and we opted to sit outside. The patio is actually really nice, plenty of seating options whether you want sun or shade, and the staff was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. Unfortunately, the food just didn't deliver. Both my friend and I ordered burgers. My bun looked like it had barely touched an oven, and overall the flavor was pretty bland. The fries were unseasoned and forgettable. My friend's BBQ burger had great presentation, but also lacked any umf in flavor. The last guest at our table went with pancakes and eggs, and to be fair, those came out fine (hard to mess that one up). Overall, it's a decent spot for a drink or a casual bite, but the food could definitely use a boost in flavor and attention to detail.

    Omelet. Added spinach, cheese, bacon and sausage.
    Marybell R.

    I usually rave about this spot--food is always tasty, drinks are good, and their happy hour is worth planning around. But this visit was a little off. Ordered a mimosa and a Diet Coke, and after about 20 minutes realized they were just chilling on the bar... looking thirstier than me. No one brought them over, so I finally just walked up and grabbed them myself. Luckily the food saved the day--my BLT breakfast bagel was delicious (eggs, bacon, lettuce, tomato, the whole vibe). Service though? Definitely felt like it hadn't had its coffee yet. I'll be back because the food is always solid, but hoping next time the service wakes up with the kitchen.

    Scotch eggs
    Lorie N.

    I picked this spot because it had beers for my drinking friends and we were looking for somewhere to eat near where we were staying (Grand Sierra Resort). *Scotch Egg: Boiled Egg wrapped in Spicy Sausage, Deep Fried, side of mustard. This is one of those dishes where your friends instantly order and then you ask them what it is. They meet your question with that look that says "You mean you don't know what a Scotch egg is?" I already love eggs in any way shape or form BUT tasting an egg that's deep friend encased in sausage? This was so good and there wasn't even a need to dip in the mustard. *Quinoa Salad: Roasted Sweet potatoes, Quinoa, Avocado, Radish, Kale, Sesame Ginger Dressing. I loved how they offer a salad like this which is a step away from the usual bar food. If you want to go healthy and still want something tasty and filling, order this. I'm already a quinoa fan and added the grilled chicken for protein. The Sesame Ginger dressing was perfect to go with it and paired well. *Sampler platter with wings, tater tots + spinach artichoke dip with chips- Solid bar food and we devoured this. I can't comment on the beers since I don't drink, but they were also good. The interior was spacious and the service was attentive and friendly. I'm keeping this on the list as a solid spot to come back to. There's also a big outdoor patio which is pet friendly as there were several owners with their dogs there.

    We had chicken Sammy, moist chicken and the cheese crusted bread was really good. Was recommended by our very friendly waitress Reagan B. We split it and was enough to fill us. It appears to be a popular locals place (we search out those spots when traveling). Don't let the strip mall location scare you off). We will be back when in town.

    We have been coming to Bighorn Tavern for years and love so many things about it. They have a great happy hour, including deals on snacks and beers, a delicious menu to choose from, a great rotating cocktail menu, and one of the best patios in town. We absolutely love the nachos and will come here when we are craving them because they are that awesome. The staff is friendly, and the ambiance is lively and cozy, especially when DJ Trivia or sports are happening.

    Great Outdoor dining option in Reno
    Peter H.

    A great local Bar with an amazing back patio area for outdoor dining. I've come here so many times over the years, I don't know how I've not reviewed it before. A family run business, I've always appreciated the service and hospitality that the servers and bartenders provide. One thing I love about Bighorn is that they have good Breakfast, lunch and dinner so it's always a good option when you need a go to dining spot. I've tried several different items and all have ben good. My most recent visit was for breakfast, I came with a big family group and seeing everyone's breakfast was difficult as there are so many good options. I got the breakfast burrito which was good, the pancakes also looked good. A great local staple of Reno, highly recommend stopping in for a visit if you need a good dining spot!

    Fyi kitchen closes at 9 Monday Thru Thursday. Open later on Friday thru Sunday. The side salad is fantastic!!! The fries are super good. My fave is the meatball sando and the meatloaf Sando. Good portion of fries and great ranch. Younger crowd at this location. The backyard seating at this locale is awesome!!!

    What types of tacos are served on Tuesday? Do they offer the fish or tofu along with regular meat options?

    Not sure about tofu or fish but they do have delicious veggie tacos on their main menu. I can't remember specifically for Taco Tuesday what they offer but the veggie tacos are BOMB.

    Parking was open at 5 pm on Sunday. Noticed a person sitting in the booth for Archie's parking…read moreonly, monitoring the parking. Other reviewers mentioned parking lot can be quite packed. We found parking right away. We noticed the large banner outside touting best burgers. Was craving fish and chips, buttttt decided to go with a burger. Ricardo was our server.. we were greeted as we were stepping through the door. Told to take a seat anywhere. Ricardo recommended "any" burger with a smile. I asked whether I should order onion rings or fries, he said order the Texas Toothpicks.. Combo of beer battered onions and jalapeños. Ok let's do this. Richard's must have checked in on us 5-7 times during our meal, great service! Actually we had an entire conversation about his service, friendly, efficient, quick, chatty, and gets the order right! Order Bloody Mary served with banana pepper, green olive and lime.. no salted rim, which is fine, missing salty component for me BECAUSE I LIKE SALT... Drink was GOOD. Bloody Mary and Corona brought icy cold within two minutes. Jalapeno burger and fries son loved his burger! Son felt his burger had appropriate amount of salt and great char crusting. Garlic butter burger and Texas Toothpicks which is beer battered onions and jalapeños. In my opinion this burger starts with the bread.. Delicious soft bun that actually fits the patty. The patty had a nice sear on it, it was under seasoned and almost well done. The burger was lacking salt component to complement the garlic. Had the burger been seasoned, and had I have ordered it medium rare, (my mistake) it would have been really good. The burger did come without condiments which I appreciate because I can put my own in appropriate amounts to my liking. I added a pinch of salt, no complaining and we were good to go! I didn't even eat 1/4 of my food! The burgers and portions were HUGE!! The Texas Toothpicks were really good, a good fry was achieved on them. They held up to being dipped in ranch. 1/2 order hot wings and fries The wings were ordered breaded and hot. They had a good crisp, and were fried appropriately! Good amount of salt. The fries were served super crispy, piping hot and perfectly salted. The order came with carrots and celery without having to ask. Ranch.. Ranch is a serious condiment in our household with food like this. It was good. An appropriate amount was served with wings, and of course for us fries and ranch go hand in hand. The restaurant was clean, all staff was friendly and great service!!!

The western bacon cheeseburger is one of the best in town, consistently delicious and always hits the spot. The wings are another standout: perfectly crisp, flavorful, and done right every time.

We especially love sitting upstairs....it's where we used to hang out when we first met, so it brings back a lot of great memories. It's more than just a restaurant for us, it's part of our story. Consistently great food, excellent service, and a place that feels like home. We'll keep coming back.

It was our 1st time eating there however it had been on our list for some time. We started with the PULL-APART GARLIC CHEESE BREAD which is Focaccia, mozzarella, marinara, parmesan, frico crust and also ordered the WOOD FIRED OCTOPUS with crispy gnocchi, tomatoes, red onion, basil, arugula and topped with a Calabrian chili aioli. Both were fantastic, seasoned nicely and cooked to a perfect temperature!! For our entree we hate the BEE STING pizza. Make with a 72 Hour Fermented Organic Dough topped with Salami, red onion, basil, serranos, mozzarella and honey. The crust was delicious, crunchy, thin and when combined with the sauce, seasoning and toppings, an excellent pizza. Additionally we ordered two of the in-house, housemaid pasta. The ARRABBIATA , a roasted red pepper campanelle, with Calabrese sausage, garlic, chilis, broccolini and topped with Parmesan, pecorino. The other pasta we tried was the BLACK SPAGHETTI, mixed with clams, scallops, shrimp, hot chopped peppers, white wine, butter and lemon. It was fantastic!! Cooked al dente and packed with flavor. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. The service was great, food was yummy and we definitely look forward to going back again soon!

The cauliflower was one of my favorites, roasted perfectly with great flavor, Fondue was creamy, hot and delicious, meatballs were super moist and bursting with flavor. The olives were dry and tiny and hard to enjoy due to pit. The backpack was ok but not great. Now, the pizza! It was absolutely perfect. Thin crust, perfect amount of cheese and toppings. I enjoyed the bee sting pizza, hot and sweet, and I love the combination. When I go back it will definitely be pizza, salad and cauliflower. The sever was a sweet young man. He was attentive to our needs and patient with all our questions. The restaurant is a good size, the bar area was busy and filled with conversation and laughter, the booths looked cozy, we chose a table near windows for outside lighting. The outside tables looked great for getting some warmth and fresh air. Many options and different settings. Sorry, I forgot to take pics.

    The whole vibe at the J has totally changed from when it was The Sands and this was Mel's Cafe…read more This is now their "Coffee Shop". It has a bit of the retro feel to it and was a nice place for lunch with a friend. I ordered the BLTA with a side of fries. I just had water to drink but there were multiple offerings from boozy to soft drinks and other non-alcoholic choices. Our server was attentive and checked on us throughout. The meals took awhile to get to us (I think their kitchen probably covers more than just Hanna's Table) but it was worth the wait. My BLTA was just as I liked it - crisp bacon, large slices of tomato, creamy avocado and lettuce leaves. A perfect classic with a touch of hipster add-on. Would I drive out of my way to eat here? Probably not, but since it is about 2 blocks from home it would be worth a return visit,

I absolutely loved the White Linen -- and that's saying a lot because I'm usually not much of a gin drinker. Tonight I also tried the Blueberry Lemon Drop. I tend to like more of a tart citrus flavor, so it wasn't exactly the tartness I expected at first; however, once I ate the blueberry garnish and took another sip, it completely changed the drink for me and tasted much better. I also tried two of their specials -- the Salmon with Alfredo sauce and the Tenderloin sliders. Again, Alfredo normally isn't my thing, but the Salmon was cooked beautifully and the sauce was very enjoyable, especially since they accommodated my request for a lighter amount. Since I couldn't decide between dishes, I ordered the tenderloin sliders to-go as well... and they were delicious too! Our server Miguel was new and did a really good job. You could tell he was just a little nervous, but he was attentive, kind, and handled himself well. Everyone starts somewhere, and I wanted him to know he's doing a great job and will only continue getting better with experience. Another solid visit overall. It was also nice seeing GM Drew working the restaurant floor as usual. You can absolutely see his management style reflected in the atmosphere and service -- the restaurant was busy, yet the team handled everything smoothly. And of course, Chef continues making consistently delicious meals. Definitely looking forward to coming back again soon!

The biscuits were super soft and moist. The gravy was a perfect consistency. A good amount of sausage without being overwhelming plus a thickness that sticks to the biscuit perfectly for a good mashing of the flavors. My son had Gambi's scramble. He said the eggs tasted weird but I had to point out that it has cream cheese which he did not notice so that is more of a him thing. Lol. I tried it personally I think it's a good mixing of flavors. The cream cheese texturing makes it a little weird if you are not expecting it. But good flavor. We both loved the potatoes that came with it had a little crisp one the outside and they we're NOT mushy on the inside. Still a slight firmness inside. Overall, very good. Server was amazing AGAIN.
