    Fun times on Tuesdays at Bighorn with Taco Tuesday specials or Housemade soup of the day and now the new Spring menu. The servers are friendly, proficient and fun. They get to know the "regulars" who come to play DJ Trivia which can be super fun, competitive and rewarding if your team places 1st, 2nd or 3rd! Happy hour specials are available early evenings. Quite a list of draft beers and ciders.

    El Pastor burg

    I like Bighorn Tavern. My favorite thing to order is the El Pastore burger. But come on guys, turn the volume on for your TV sports games. We wanna get rowdy!

    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.

    Mozzarella bites and a healthy side of marinara dipping sauce.
    Robbin S.

    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!!

    Meatballs and fries

    We had a great time at the Bighorn Tavern last Father's Day, tried the meatballs and fries they were both truly delicious, service was fast and friendly loved the lodge type vibe with the open beam ceiling. We are definitely coming back!

    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!

    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.

    Pork hash
    Paige B.

    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.

    Rustic bar/restaurant with good food and full bar. Can get a bit noisy in the evening but a friendly atmosphere. We were able to get a table for eight with little problem. Family friendly.

    Happy hour; 2-6pm. Spinach artichoke dip, teriyaki pulled pork sliders, & carne street tacos. Only $15!
    Kendra J.

    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!

    Bloody Maria was morning Special for $6 was amazing! Burger good but buns are really white! Service was great, Chandler was fun & friendly. Onion rings were yummy too!

    Yummy onion rings
    Tina P.

    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

    Wow. If you find yourself in Reno, jonesing for a burger, Archie's is the place to go. We aren't…read moreresidents, but come up the hill a few times a year for various events. Until this 4th of July weekend (250/2026) we had never heard of Archie's. It was recommended to us and we stopped in on Sunday the 5th for lunch on our way out of town. What an amazing choice. I ordered their bacon cheese burger. Guess what? It was GIANT. It was delicious. It was perfect. Comes with fries but I got onion rings. The onion rings were perfect too. Largest order of rings I have ever seen. The burger (1/2 Lb I think!!) had nice thick bacon in every bite, two large and fresh slices of tomato, a big old slab of an onion slice, mayo and lettuce. I can't remember if there were pickles. It was the best burger and onion rings I have eaten in at least ten years, maybe 20. We will be back, EVERY time we are in town from now on. I can't recommend this place enough. Special shout out to David, our server. This guy made no mistakes. Laughed at all my stupid dad jokes, was attentive, patient while my companions changed their minds 36 times, and was friendly too. Says it was only his 2nd day on the job, but I wish he had been working for us at our restaurant (Hokkaido Noodle House) in Sacramento. He is a pro already, give him reasons to keep working for you boss. Don't worry, we won't steal him from you, we are retired and closed our joint 10 years ago. Rock on Archie's! You have earned a few new fans today.

Was surprised it had a second floor with a small deck and pretty decent views! Big place. Great Happy Hour Deals (half off drinks) and other specials. I haven't eaten breakfast there but the burger I'd put in the top 4 in Reno. It is giant diameter wise but the meat is the same amount of a smaller thicker burger which makes it no too hard to eat. I'd call this a Purist's Burger. Crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, sauce. They went really light on the sauce to the point I didn't think it had any. Fries were excellent too. Price is very reasonable (that's typical near a college.) I've tried Royce, Juicy's, and The Parlor. I'd put Archies below Royce and Parlor but above Juicy's. Two left on my list are Armando & Son's Butcher Shop and of course Beefy's.

When we arrived, every table was full, so we grabbed seats at the bar. It turned out to be a great spot to watch the bartenders create beautiful drinks, including some of their signature cocktails served in a glass purse for parties of two or more. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, with groups celebrating birthdays and other special occasions. After looking over the menu, we decided on the lox crostini bites and the bruschetta. We each ordered a glass of sparkling wine. I added a chocolate rim to mine, which was fun to look at, although it didn't add much flavor. While we waited for our food, we enjoyed watching the flowing chocolate waterfall. Considering how busy the bar was, our food arrived quickly. The crostini were crisp, and both appetizers were fresh and flavorful. The only drawback was the volume of the DJ, but we knew what to expect as soon as we walked through the door. This is definitely a fun place for parties and groups looking for a lively night out. One last observation: I probably wouldn't choose this spot for a group of men. The décor and overall vibe are very much geared toward women, but the name says it all.

    What an absolute banger of a find. It's next to impossible to find a good southern biscuit this far…read morewest, but Pine State has it figured out. I tried the McIsley (fried chicken, dill pickles, ground mustard, honey) and nearly passed out from pure bliss. The biscuit is golden brown on the outside while warm and pillowy within. You'll need a fork and knife, but the menagerie of sweet and savory building blocks will come together any which way you deconstruct it. My wife tried The Chatfield (fried chicken, cheddar, bacon, apple butter) and was equally content. The Oregon Marionberry jam was a tart yet sweet customized side, and I much enjoyed the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese to round off the plate. The breading is evenly blasted with seasoning and the tomatoes themselves are plump but not the least bit soggy. Without a doubt though, the service was unmatched. They handled a line going out the front door with class, getting us tables before we even ordered to remove the burden of seat searching and our food getting cold. They checked on the dining area promptly though they didn't have to. The staff's hospitality matches the southern inspo of the food! We sat outside and enjoyed the slight breeze as the heavenly baked aromas of the kitchen wafted outside. Overall, an 11/10 experience. Love biscuits? Run, don't walk!

Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to that first experience. The atmosphere just wasn't very inviting, and the biggest disappointment was the silverware it was visibly dirty.

It almost feels like this might be one of those places that's better suited for takeout than dining in. The gentleman that took our order must have been having a bad day the service was brass to say the least . For me, the overall experience just didn't justify another dine-in visit, so if I ever have Pine State Biscuits again, it'll probably be to-go.
