One of the best happy hour spots in Reno, hands down! Lots of options for yums. It was Taco Tuesday when we went, so the special was two tacos and a beer for $12, in addition to the regular 2pm to 6pm happy hour special where you can choose three "snacks" for a total of $15. And by "snacks," they're really more like hearty appetizers... and there are A LOT to choose from! We actually had a hard time deciding what we wanted... and then were given even more options! For example, one item of the three we ordered was pulled pork sliders - we were then given the choice of teriyaki or BBQ sauces. I don't know anywhere else in town where you can actually customize your happy hour food! We ended up choosing carne asada street tacos, teriyaki pulled pork sliders, and spinach-artichoke dip; see photo. The tacos were delicious and authentic street style. The sliders were hearty and delicious. And the spinach-artichoke dip was absolutely fantastic. (I make my own dip at home that I love and this was shockingly similar; couldn't stop eating it!). Btw the two of us, we still couldn't finish our happy hour meal; substantial, for sure, and a great value. Our server/bartender was Mikayla and she was WONDERFUL! She was finishing up a heavy lunch rush and was wrapping up her shift, but still made sure she took care of us from the beginning to the end of our meal. Mikayla was bright, shiny, happy, and took time to explain all the happy hour options; she's a valuable employee for sure! This was my third visit to the Lakeside location, but my first time ordering from the happy hour special, and I'm looking fwd to going back very, very soon! read more

Bighorn Tavern - Happy hour; 2-6pm. Spinach artichoke dip, teriyaki pulled pork sliders, & carne street tacos. Only $15! - New American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Used to be regulars there u til about 2 weeks ago. I ordered the buffalo wings. What came out were wings that still had feathers, both pin feathers and others. The server was an absolute pro and handled things differently, but clearly the back of the house isn't paying attention to food safety so I cannot fathom coming back. read more

Visited this location for dinner and were sat immediately, even with them being packed! Our server, Bobby was really helpful in how we should order our elk burger and he took care of us promptly. We started out with the deviled eggs and wrapped up with the elk burger. I really enjoyed the deviled eggs (total of 4). The filling has jalapeño mixed In and topped with bacon. Delish! The burger was cooked perfectly and the fries on the side were piping hot. I did feel like the burger lacked a zing but other than that, it was great in terms of freshness and uniqueness. Their ranch is also amazing. A great family friendly place with wonderful ambiance and warm decor to grab a bite of food that's more than bar food and catch a game. Can't wait to come back! read more

We loved the vibe of this place and their food was delicious! We got the scotch egg and mozzarella bites. It was plenty and their portions are generous. The scotch egg was one of the best we've ever had with a nice thick layer of seasoned sausage. We went to the bar after dining and Josh ‍ took excellent care of us. He was busy and attentive. He's very good at his job and we are planning to come back again before we leave and try other menu items. Definitely worth a visit!! read more

Tuesdays are great at Bighorn Tavern on Lakeside. Taco Tuesdays are the special deal with 2 tacos, cheese, cabbage, bell peppers, chipotle sauce , green salsa and meat of your choice, steak, chicken, pork, or fish. Also, the soup special is great for a light meal, today was chicken and rice, comes with toasted French bread. My friend had the chicken strips with garlic Parmesan seasoning. Four large chicken pieces, along with crispy onion rings. Add a large ice tea, free refills, to quench your thirst and to stay alert for DJ Trivia. Brittney was our server tonight and she was great. She anticipates our needs. She is proficient and personable. The ambiance is festive, family oriented and casual. read more

First time at this location and it was cool! Watched some basketball and had some yummy tacos. They made them super plain for me and they were perfect. The chicken in them was very good. I also really liked my strawberry mule mocktail. I didn't really love my raspberry lemon drop it was a bit strong for my taste. The fries also needed to be salty in my opinion. I like the vibes and we will be back this weekend for more March madness final 4. I'd actually really like to try brunch too. Nice outdoor patio but no TVs. read more

Good food, top notch service and a cool vibe. Our server Bobby was very helpful and offered advice on our meal. Thanks Bobby. Elk burger was good, but definitely want to try their other burger options. The jalapeño deviled eggs were a great way to start. Those eggs had a little fire, not too much, but noticeable and enjoyable. The bacon topping was spot on. No need to overload you with details. You walk in, get seated and have a drink in front of you pronto. Solid food menu and plenty of libation options. Would return. read more

Have to come back with the hubby! I didn't even know of this place, so I'd consider this a good find. This visit was more social with a side if breakfast, and our server totally got that. She had us with drinks right away and gave us plenty of time to look at the menu and chat. Very casual vibe, with a bar present to sit at for food or drinks. Nothing fancy so, as you are. Breakfast tacos - I wanted the chorizo tacos, but they were out!! Must be really good! So I went woth bacon, extra crispy pleaese! The tacos were really good. The tortillas were just the right amount of crisp like they'd been toasted. The green salsa was so good: a little spice, a little tang, and just a perfect topper for those tacos. The pork hash was just amazing. I will be going back just for that dish. I didn't know what to expect, and now I know it will be a flavor bomb every time. The pork is fork, tender, left in larger chunks for a big bite or you can break it apart and make a different bite with a potato or an onion. I don't really know how to describe the flavor, it was just amazing. It had a little bit of sweet, a lot of savory, a good amount of tang. It was just simply what I would consider a perfect example of umami. read more

Our entire friends and family are Bighorn fans! We have a family member who's on a low-sodium diet, and that limits where we can go, or if we can go out for dinner at all. Bighorn was very accommodating, and prepared a customized burger to fit our need. We were able to enjoy the night out because of their attentiveness and willingness. The server was so nice, and so careful. So nice of him, and so nice of the kitchen staff. THANK YOU SO MUCH! read more

This new location gives a different vibe than Big Horn Tavern on 7th street. Lakeside is more of an upscale crowd and I usually see lots of kids there. I have to say, the service at the 7th street location is much better. They're more accommodating and communicative. I felt like I was always bothering someone to ask for something at this location. They were busy but we weren't even acknowledged or asked how many were in our party when we walked in. We opted to sit at the bar for a more casual experience. We had to ask for menus and then when we decided on food we had to flag down the bartender. However, Big Horn's food is always the best. We shared the appetizer of nachos and it was perfect for my boyfriend and I. I just wish this location had the same great service as 7th street read more

This was my first visit to the south location & my first time trying their brunch menu! I was feeling a little off and needed something simple to enjoy, their avocado toast hit the spot! It gave caprese salad vibes with an egg on top! Yum!!! I loved seeing everyone else's meals, pancakes, chicken fried steak, breakfast skillets!! Not one complaint from our crew. This location gives the same eclectic vibes as their northwest location which is our normal go-to. A mix of antler chandeliers and disco balls, ya can't beat it! read more

We went on Sunday around noon thirtyish we ordered bloody Maria's, which is made the tequila Instead of vodka. Chandler was our waiter. He was attentive friendly with an easiness about his demeanor. The burgers were good. The onion ring was really tasty. And the Bloody Mary's and Bloody Maria's were outstanding. It was quite a hot day outside at 101° which I think spilled over into the restaurant a bit. It was quite warm in there today. But overall, very tasty, very casual, and relaxing read more

My husband and I finally came here to try it out. We ordered some appetizers and sandwiches. The spinach artichoke was good, nothing too special. The mozzarella balls were cute and the perfect appetizers for kids too. We ordered the tri tip and po boy sandwhiches. I liked the po boy sandwhich better over the tri tip. The sauce in the sandwhich was really good. The tri tip was overcooked for me and the chimichurri sauce wasn't it. There was just something else missing in that sandwhich for me. I also asked if they can have my fries to be a little more crispy but they came out super soggy instead. Even though this wasn't the experience I hoped for, I'd wanna come back and try other things on their menu. read more

I went for the first time for trivia play-offs so my experience may be a little skewed however the bar was lively, the waitresses were very attentive, and they have decently priced drinks. The entire restaurant is highly decorated in a western theme, but worry not, they also have a disco ball! I don't think there is anything in particular to highlight, however my friends all agree this is the better of the two locations. read more

My husband came here for Taco Tuesday recently and it was even better than expected! It was our first time at this location. It is a cute, welcoming sports bar/restaurant! With sports decor on the walls and baseball playoffs on the various tvs, my husband was super happy to dine here. They also offer outside dining. On top of that, our server was very patient, attentive, and positive. Taco Tuesday here means for $12 you can have your choice of two tacos (chicken, pork, steak, shrimp, tofu, or fish) and a beer (a wide variety of choices). My husband and I each had a shrimp and a fish taco (we were given a choice of crispy fish or grilled and we chose grilled). We both loved the tacos! Super fresh and nicely seasoned! I was happy that I could have a cider instead of a beer and it was delicious! My husband had a Parlay 6 IPA and enjoyed it. We would love to come back! read more

I'm so excited I finally was able to try this place! They had a number of vegetarian options that sounded delicious. Love when a restaurant have a protein in their vegetarian dishes! I tried the veggie wrap, it was delicious. A little spicy for my daughter but I loved it. So awesome when a restaurant isn't afraid to use tofu! The wait staff was great, friendly, fast, and attentive even for how busy they were. Will definitely be back! read more

Love this place, cool hunting cabin decor. Plenty of space, clean restaurant, with ample seating indoor and outside. Nice relaxing fountain outside too. The service was great, very attentive, and super friendly. I got the Quinoa salad with tofu and it was very good. There is a lot more on the menu that I want to taste so I'll be back. Great menu selection, vegetarian options too. They have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their breakfast sounded amazing. My granddaughter got the little mini cheeseburgers with fruit (love that they had that option) it can also come with fries of course. Great beer selection too, along with wine and cocktails. See ya soon. read more

Nice place. It was deceiving in terms of size as it's on the corner of the building. I thought it was going to be a lot larger inside, but it felt pretty crowded. Upside on nice days there's a huge outside patio area in the front. When you walk in there's a bunch of high top seating, L-shaped bar with the kitchen area behind it, and to the left are a bunch of tables. A decent amount of TVs to watch games too. The staff were friendly and checked in on us throughout the meal. They were busy when we came in. No one was at the front but there was a sign that said wait to be seated. They could have been short staffed but it took a bit for staff to notice us waiting at the front to be seated. In general the place is nice. It can get loud and had more of a pub feel to it at times than a restaurant. We ordered a good amount off the menu and everything was good. We'd go back to try their breakfast options at some point too. read more

We started with the buffalo wings--great flavor with just enough kick without being too spicy. For dinner, I had the Bighorn Bowl with steak, and it did not disappoint! The steak was super tender, and the veggies were fresh and crisp. The service was attentive, and the place has a rustic vibe. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu! read more

I went there today for lunch. We were promptly seated and given menus. The restaurant was pretty crowded. I ordered the prime rib a sandwich special and my partner ordered the chicken Sammy. Our food came out promptly and was delicious! There was an abundance of prime rib, as well as melted cheese and a nice warm cupof au jus. The sandwich roll was super soft and very delicious. The onion rings that came with it crispy and hot. My partner ordered the chicken sandwich and said it was one of the best he had ever had. Our server was attentive and very kind. She kept checking in to make sure our food was good and to see if we needed anything. The ambience is good. They were playing music in the background. I would definitely go back.! read more

Food is ok. Gambling machines in the bar. Has a definitely politically conservative vibe.

Thanks for having a location closer to the south. Quality/Quantity - Came here for HH at 5pm on a Friday, and were surprised how easily we were able to get a table. Today we got the following: 3 For $15 Snacks - Wow, generous portions. I was worried that there would not be enough food for us, so I suggested we each order a 3 for $15. But as usual, because we are light eaters, we could have just shared one. Hummus - Smooth and tasty. Perfect with the naan and fresh veggies. Too bad I am taking a break from eating healthy, lol. Teriyaki Pork Sliders - So good. Perfect balance with pork, veggies, bun, and sauce. Dry Rub Wings - 4 of the 5 pieces were perfect. Good size wings, decent flavor, etc. One wing was just skin, no meat, and it was over fried. Loaded Bighorn Fries - I was surprised my wife ordered this. It was just okay. The sourcream and soggy fries is just not mine nor my wife's thing. Tacos Al Pastor - My wife LOVED the fermented red cabbage! Generous portions. We were only able to share ONE of the two tacos... BBQ Pork Sliders - Good, but not as good as the teriyaki pork sliders. The veggies made a difference. And to wash it all down - Two 22oz Boneyard RPM IPA's. Actually one would have been enough; I actually had a hard time finishing the second one. Plus my wife pressured me as there was a line finally forming at the door. Atmosphere - Decent size location. Bar, counter top, table seating. Plenty of outdoor seating; well it is the winter, lol. Plenty of mall parking. The women's bathroom was out of order; see picture. And the men's restroom does NOT have a lock. So fairly uncomfortable as I watched all the men enter the restroom when there was a woman inside. Plus the stall did NOT lock either... Open 7 days a week from 9am to 10pm or 11pm. Service - Janice was very good and professional, 5 stars. We watched her service so many tables so smoothly. And always checking up on everyone. Plenty of specials; see website. Daily specials, etc. I think I am coming back on Thursday for ladies night (with my wife of course, lol) as the promotion is 1/2 off bottles of wine and I think they have a $20 prime rib special?!?! Price - $43 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2022 with your two locations. See you next Thursday! read more

I've been going to the Bighorn on 7th street for a long time and have always appreciated it's neighborhood feel and good food menu. I was excited to hear there was a new location and was finally able to get over there for a lunch date with the Mrs. The new location is in a nice quiet shopping center off Lakeside. There is nice outdoor seating with water feature out front, and the inside also looks nice and has the classic sport bar decor and lot's of TVs. It was a beautiful day so we opted to sit outside and were quickly greeted by our server that gave some recommendations for the beers on tap. Bighorn always has a great selection of local and national beers and a broad food menu. I always find myself torn as to what I want, but for this trip I was craving a burger and ordered a Tavern Burger. It was cooked perfectly and is one of the better burgers in town! The fries are also really good with the fresh cut fried, just the way I like them. Everything about our visit was excellent, great service, food and drinks. The Bighorn is a local favorite and family owned business and I'm happy to support them as they always deliver good food and have a great atmosphere. Don't forget to check the specials each day, as well as the daily happy hour which is a great deal: Monday through Friday from 2-6pm 1/2 off all beer. $1 off well drinks and house wine 3 for $15 - Choose any 3 snacks for $15 I'm happy I finally made it to this location and I will definitely be back! read more

We came here to try their brunch and were not disappointed! We arrived around 10:30am on a Saturday and the place was pretty empty. We were seated promptly, we chose a spot on the patio. I ordered an omelette and my husband got the chorizo tacos! Serving sizes are appropriate, not huge but still enough to fill you up. The omelette are build-your-own style where you get 2 veggies, 1 meat, and cheese. I went with jalapeño, mushrooms, bacon, and cheddar cheese! The cheese was on top and there were so many of the other ingredients packed on the inside. This was one of the best omelettes I've had in a while! It came with fruit or potatoes and some toast as well. My husband had great things to say about his chorizo tacos too, the meat was especially tasty. It only came with two tacos but they had plenty of fillings to make you feel like you still got enough. Service was meh, would've expected a little better for the place being empty. Our waters didn't get refilled until we were done with our meals. Prices were very affordable, the two entrees plus a coffee was around $30! I'll definitely remember this place as a brunch spot to come back to again! read more

We were with a hiking group that stopped in for lunch after a recent outing. Overall, we liked Bighorn Tavern a lot and will go back. Here is what we noticed: - Great casual bar vibe! The day we visited, the place was packed at lunch (on a Saturday). - Broad pub-type menu. My wife ordered the Cajun Blue Cheese & Bacon Burger with a side salad, and I got the Meatball Sandwich with Fries. The portion sizes are huge! The Meatball Sandwich was excellent...just what I was craving. I asked for the fries to be extra crispy, but that didn't really happen (part of the reason for the 4 vs 5 stars). My wife asked for her burger to be cooked rare to medium rare, and it came out medium well to well done (the other reason for the 4 vs 5 stars). She would have sent it back except for the fact that the place was packed and food was taking a while to get out of the kitchen. - The servers would working their butts off and managed very well despite the number of people in the place. We asked for separate checks for our group and our server indicated that she would do that even though there was a policy to break up checks to a max of three individual checks. Thanks! Bottom line: The place was fun and seems like it would be especially great when it isn't so crowded. We'll look for an off-peak time to return! read more

Usually like this place. Have been a customer for years. Was RUDELY told that "we have been closed for a while" at 10:10. The internet said they were open until 11. Some guy in a hat forced us to leave after enjoying ourselves and spending hundreds of dollars. I am never one to stay past closing having worked in the restaurant industry, but could have been kindly told of closing hours, and instead was met with hostility by the manager. read more

Stopped by bighorn with the family, our first time at this location. It was busy, but there was 1 table open outside that needed to be bused. They jumped on it before we were seated. It was a short wait. The service was great and friendly. Our daughter even asked for a side of pickles, and they were more than happy to provide. I went with the Cuban, and I must say it was one of the best I've had in town, excellent flavor, and cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend bighorn if you haven't been yet. read more

Sometimes all you want is a salad in the spring/summer! I have been on the hunt for places that have good dinner salads and I came across the menu online for Bighorn Tavern. It looked like they had quite a nice selection of salads so I recommended it for dinner and we went! Nice, big, spacious dining area and not crazy busy for a Friday night. It was comfortable for the three of us and we enjoyed our meal there. We started with an order of the Deviled Eggs which seem to just be my kryptonite this spring every where we go but theirs were excellent! and I always love a pop of paprika! My son had the Fish and Chips which he inhaled and said were very good. My husband had the Meatloaf Melt and he loved it. Hot and gooey with good sauce. Last but not least, I had the Quinoa Salad. It was just what I was looking for! Crunchy Kale with that Ginger Dressing, mmm chefs kiss! We had a great time eating here and have heard nothing but good things about their happy hour so I look forward to returning soon! read more
