    The Sandwich
    Catherine C.

    We had another delicious lunch here today. My friend and I both had the 1/2 sandwich, soup & salad special. (Iron Mike & The Sandwich.) And as always, everything was beyond delicious!!! The restaurant is super cute and service is friendly and attentive. Can't wait to be back soon!

    Beef and Brie

    A real gem! Great food, cute atmosphere, great service! If you're in Minden check them out!

    OMG!  Who would have thought that peanut butter would be so good on a veggie sandwich???   Obviously, they know!!! lol

    Wow! What a great little restaurant. If you're ever down there, check it out! Especially now with all of the major road construction in Gardnerville. All of the businesses down there can use your business!!! I had a half Iron Mike Sandwich and the Curry Sweet Potato Soup. Amazing! Who would have thought that peanut butter on a veggie sandwich would taste so good? Super friendly service and they really appreciate the business

    My wife and I have been coming here for the last seven or eight years as we antique through the area. The smoothies are amazing and the food is always wonderful. I love their Thai peanut wrap and my wife often gets either a K2 or grilled beef and Brie sandwiches. We're here today at 1:30 PM and the place is almost full. Clearly a popular local spot. Ambience is nice and they also have seating outside.

    Grilled veggies and cheese sandwich, house salad, and curry potato soup.

    Yummy food! I ordered the sandwich, salad, soup combo. Grateful for a vegetarian option! The house made salad dressing, sandwich with a few different cheeses/ grilled veggie with fresh bread, and curry sweet potato soup were all delicious. My oldest daughter ordered a smoothie and they even gave us the rest of the smoothie from the blender that wouldn't fit in her cup for my youngest to snack on before the meal came. The bathrooms were clean and the restaurant decorated nicely. Service was very friendly and food came out quickly. They had some coloring pages and crayons which I always appreciate. I'll definitely be going back

    K2 Panini
    Craig H.

    Neat little place that is only open for lunch. We waited quite awhile to be served (close to 1/2 hour)...seems like they prioritize the call-in orders over their on-site customers. I ordered the K2 and it really did not work for me. Sounded good on the menu: Turkey, brie, pear, caramelized onion, garlic aioli and black currant chutney, But, there were too many flavor profiles that did not meld well. That being said, give them a shot, based on the other reviews your experience may be different.

    Delicious. I ordered a chai the soup, salad and half panini. Every bite melted in my mouth. The service was amazing and such a sweet little place. My belly is very happy

Service was friendly and the food was excellent. The Reuben is a thick hot pastrami on grilled Jewish rye with Swiss, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island. The Tahoe Blue is a hot albacore tuna melt on grilled sourdough with cheddar. Both came with a side as advertised, salad on my plate and fries on my wife's with Ranch dressing to dip the fries in.

The one real drawback is the building. The bakery and restaurant share a door with C.O.D. Casino next door. When that door opens, cigarette smoke comes into the dining and bakery area. The restroom is also on the casino side. That does not change the quality of the sandwiches or pastry, but it is noticeable and it is worth knowing before you sit down, especially if you are sensitive to smoke or bringing food out for a trip. Note: they do have outdoor seating. We love having this place close to home and will use it again for lunch and bakery takeout for sure! Four stars because the food and service earned five and the smoke and restroom setup cost one.

We always go to Schat in Carson, so when we were in Minden, its branch was our first choice for late lunch. We got what's available without the need for them to prepare, since they are closing. I got a ham sandwich and my two boys got pizza bagel -- everything is good, and although my sandwich is already pre-made, they still tasted fresh. I always love the ambiance there. It's always relaxing and the interior is classic. We ate in the park since they are already closing, but that's alright.

Tonight I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pizza and a Chicago dog to-go. The pie was square-cut Chicago-style, with browned cheese, pepperoni, crumbled Italian sausage, and mushrooms. The sausage has the fennel note you expect on a Chicago pie, not bland grocery sausage. The dog was built the right way: Vienna beef, poppy seed bun, yellow mustard, neon relish, onion, tomato wedges, pickle spear, sport pepper, and celery salt. The restaurant still imports the dogs, sausage, Italian beef, relish, giardiniera, buns, and rolls from Chicago, and the mushrooms are imported and blanched. The dining room still has the original family photos and Chicago memorabilia. Ordering is easier than it used to be. They now have online ordering at chicagomikes.pizza, you can create an account, and they deliver. I also witnessed DoorDash there while waiting for my order to be ready; so that's an option now too. If you sign in to the new website, they run a points setup that can turn into discounts or a free side once it adds up. Confirm the current reward on the site when you order, because that part is not spelled out yet on the menu. This is still the Chicago-style stop I use in the Carson Valley: thin square pie and a Chicago dog made perfectly; not a generic pizza chain. They also sell deep dish if that is what you want. Hours are limited (typically closed Monday and Tuesday), so check before you go. Menu: https://chicagomikes.pizza/menu

Located in historic Genoa (Nevada's very first settlement), this beautifully restored 1855 Gothic Revival landmark has that wonderful old-time feel that makes the experience special from the moment you walk in. The food is fantastic, with a delicious Southern twist that reminds me of New Orleans--big, bold flavors that make every bite memorable. We also loved the wood-fired pizzas, which are a must-try. And the craft cocktails? Absolutely yummy. To top it all off, they feature live acoustic music that adds such a fun, lively vibe to the whole experience.

I think it's safe to say they use frozen corn which is a shame because fresh corn is still very much in season. I had their corn as an accompaniment to one of my past dishes and the texture is the same. Completely over cooked, soggy, mushy corn on the cob with absolutely no flavor. And get this, it costs $18 or $19! It's literally one corn on the cob that they portion into 4 or 6 pieces. Fish Special - It was rock fish with a red pepper sauce, eggplant stacked with feta and herbed roasted potatoes. The fish was over cooked and really salty. Eggplant was dry and difficult to eat. I didn't even bother with it. Potatoes, no big deal. Margherita Pizza - Good flavor, just not a fan of their crust Tchoupitoulas- We've gotten this in the past and this seems to be consistent with flavor and execution. My husband said it was as good as the first time. Kid's Mac n Cheese - At $19 I expected a large portion. It's not. But it was the best dish we ordered. It's more of a macaroni with Alfredo sauce rather than a cheddar mac n cheese. My son enjoyed it as did everyone else at the table.

They had to move a franchise to Minden and occupied a former burger place or I wouldn't have done it then. I was there at lunchtime. Well, I was at a nearby business and I was without my wife. We had discussed Wienerschnitzel and she had concluded that she was never ever gonna go there no matter what. To her there's something about hot dogs not being healthy they keeps her away. We don't even eat the Costco hotdog, except maybe once every five years. So, if memory serves, back when I was in college and hungry, I was eating these mustard dogs for $.29 each. They were simple; bun, mustard, and hotdog. For two dollars you were full. That is definitely not the case here. I got the Chicago dog and it came with mustard, hotdog, peppers, relish and a need for a napkin. This hotdog alone was nearly 5 dollars, but I thought it tasted really good. They had some value meals which I wasn't interested in, and a little bit of a lunch crowd. It was a nice day and so I took advantage of their outside seating and watched the world go by on Highway 395 for about five minutes. Will it be 40 years before I return? I doubt it, but it's unlikely that I'll be a regular. It is what it is and it's tasty but forbidden, at least at my house.
