    Fun decor
    Victoria L.

    This is a cute little restaurant & bar out in Verdi, Nevada. It has both outdoor and indoor dining with a rustic and cozy atmosphere. This place is also family friendly as there were children dining here, but no specific children's menu. The waitress Lex was very sweet and provided excellent service. We came here for the weekend breakfast (keep in mind they are open at 8am) and both were delicious. The French toast was slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was topped with delicious fresh strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar. The country fried steak was cooked perfectly and served with a side of eggs,, toast, and house potatoes. The food was reasonably priced as well. It was a wonderful surprise and experience to get some sustenance after our morning hike.

    Big Johnson Salad... Do yourself a favor and just order it "as-is." Fresh and hearty all at the same time.

    This place is a hidden gem... and comes complete with a warm and intimate setting (think "cozy cabin"), even warmer service, and the kitchen pumps out consistently excellent food. We've had a variety of foods there... from the Elote Balls (appetizer), to the Smash Forty (their pulled pork is to die for!), to my personal favorite - the Big Johnson Salad that comes with fantastic marinated/glazed steak slices (pictured). The service is consistently warm - like the interior - and you feel like you are simply hanging out at your friends house... who just happens to be an amazing chef with an excellent bar. I highly, highly recommend Chop 40... Just be sure to visit multiple times so you can taste all their yums!

    The ambiance of this place was amazing. Raven our server was friendly and sweet as can be. The service was great! We sat outside and enjoyed the weather. The food was delicious Brussels sprouts were bomb and so was the potatoes that were loaded

    Nashville hot chicken and onion rings.

    I may be coming back here for these corn balls! They are like a latke corn ball... soooooo good. We got the pepper popper burger and the Argentinian steak. The food was fine, my burger came well done when I asked for medium rare. I am not too picky and was wanting to eat so a smacked it down with a Arnold Palmer and Jack. Cold onion rings are also a bummer. The only other downside to our visit was due to mother nature. There was a gang of wasps that were very interested in our dishes, which toward the end we ended up running inside to the pay the bill and not finishing completely. Animal friendly outside area. Thanks Chop 40.

    Naked Chicken Wings
    Kirby D.

    Rustic, Quirky and Inviting. Chop 40 is the best of Reno. Located on Old Hwy 40 in Verdi, Chop 40 is worth the drive. Being a smaller restaurant, the staff while friendly and welcoming, were hustling for sure. Not in a bad way but they had their work cut out for them taking care of customers. We had a larger group (10) so I won't review all of the dishes but wanted to hit the highlights of our evening. Starting with the Wings. A generous portion, I prefer my wings "naked" without the fanfare of sauces. The wings were served hot and cooked with a nice crispy snap, while keeping the chicken tender and juicy. A couple of our guests had the Sierra Cowboy Sandwich. A perfect blend of Smoked Tri-Tip with House BBQ Sauce, Bacon, Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, with a Sierra Mustard Mayonnaise Mix​, all served on a toasted served on jalapeno cheddar bread. To quote my friend, "OMG. This thing is de-licious!!". It looked like the winner of the evening. The Chainsaw Tacos looked equally amazing. Four Parmesan Crusted Corn Tortillas, filled with tender BBQ Tri-tip, topped with House Slaw, Feta Cheese and Cilantro. Served with a side of red salsa. Taco's looked solid, with smiles all around. One of our friends ordered the Baja California Style Tacos. For more of a coastal touch, it was served with Beer Battered Fish, wrapped in a Cheddar Crusted Flour Tortilla, then finished with a Chipotle Aioli. My wife ordered the American Classic Burger. A true classic with a smashed patty topped with American cheese, crispy bacon, sauteed onions and jalapenos, lettuce, tomatoes and Russian dressing. My wife opted for the fries as her side. In full transparency, it did take the kitchen a couple tries to get my wife's burger right. The first issue was due to the cheese. She ordered it without cheese. And the second time, the burgers were a touch under-cooked, to her liking. The third time was the charm. To quote my wife, "This was the best burger I have ever had. Anywhere!!!" Sampling the fries, I would say they were the perfect complement to the perfect burger. Chop 40 is a fun, quirky dinner (or lunch) location in Verdi. It's worth the drive from Reno. And as my wife would say, "The best burgers, anywhere".

    What a great spot! I had an awesome experience from start to finish. The service was friendly and efficient, even with the place buzzing with activity. We ordered the Reuben sandwich and the chicken avocado melt--both were absolutely delicious, especially the Reuben, which was packed with flavor. I paired it with a refreshing blackberry Avis cider, and was impressed by the wide selection of beers on draft and in bottles. The menu is extensive, with tons of tempting options--from sandwiches and burgers to fresh salads. Inside, there are a couple of TVs playing sports and a full bar, which adds to the lively, welcoming atmosphere. When the weather's nice, the dog-friendly outdoor seating is a perfect bonus. Highly recommend for a casual bite, a drink, or just a laid-back hangout!

    What a hidden Gem out in Verdi. Stopped by when we were in the area. Such a cool little spot, quiet sunday night dinner. We ate on the patio and just had a lovely time. Service was friendly and quick. Food was delicious and portion sizes were huge! Will definitely visit again!

    Argentinian style steak
    Mahshid F.

    This place is my new favorite spot, I could eat here every day. The Argentinian style steak is incredible, and the nachos are honestly the best I've ever had. I also tried the 40 Smash, which was really good but definitely on the spicier side. The chainsaw Tacos were more medium, and I love that you can pick your protein (or go vegetarian) and even mix and match. Portions are huge, and the vibe is great. Highly recommend!

    Love the Nevada sign!

    My husband took me to Chop 40 for Mother's Day Brunch. We decided to sit in the bar, he knows I like to play my $20 at the slot machines. FYI: no drink buy in they lease the machines which is good to know. I wasn't a big winner today anyway! Maybe next time! The food is always dynamite and I don't think you can get a bad meal ever there, maybe mix up on the eggs or chill. Chris is an outstanding bartender and makes you laugh the entire time you are there! She is a true treasure. Molly is such a cutie and always there to help Chris out!! I had the chicken and waffles very good extra syrup was helpful and the chicken was prepared perfectly! All the men at the bar including my husband ordered the country fried steak- which was a AMAZING!!! I got a few bites in. We ordered double screw drivers and they were double the cost. Some places charge you a few extra bucks for a double but not there. Another helpful hint when ordering! Love this place wish they would open one in Sparks by the marina! Sparks need more family style establishments with out stand food and service!

    Great food and such a cool vibe! Love having the option of outdoor and indoor seating. They have a ton of options on their menu which was great. I got the smash burger which was great and the side salad was very fresh. I snagged some of my husband's fries and they were perfect. Wish we saved room for dessert because their ice creams looked so good!!

    Black Forest cake.
    Rob B.

    I went here for dinner last night for the first time. It was awesome! It's relatively small with a bar on one side and a restaurant on the other side. The inside can best be described as rustic. When we arrived a bit before 7:00p. there were a few open tables but they filled up quickly. We really liked our server! She was pleasant and gave several menu recommendations. I had the smash burger. It was delicious and juicy and cooked perfectly. It came w fries which were piping hot. It looked so good I immediately starting eating it before I took a picture of it. My husband had the fish and chips and announced it was the best he had ever had. He also noted the cold slaw was delicious as well. We shared a piece of black forest cake which was also very tasty. A very nice meal and reasonably priced. I will definitely return!

    Chicken bacon burger
    Ali A.

    Stepped in here sopping wet after a bike ride. There was a beautiful down pour, lightening and thunder storm. The waitress greeted us with kindness and comfort even though there wasn't much seating left. (All the locals come here when the power goes out ) Drinks came fast, food came out hot and delicious in a short time!

    BLAT with seafood bisque
    Shawna A.

    We went for a hike in California with friends and stopped here for lunch on the way back. I had heard good things about Chop 40 and had been looking forward to trying it out. The atmosphere was comfortable and clean and not too loud. We had 6 in our party; 4 adults and 2 kiddos. The service was a tad slow for my liking - we even had to get up and find the waitress at one point because she forgot to bring bbq sauce (never came back to check in after bringing the food out) for one of the kids and just could not get her attention. They were out of one beer and no longer serving another listed on their menu. The food? Kiddos ordered chicken strips which they rated as "meh" (though they did look very good). Adults ordered a hangover burger, chicken avocado on sourdough, avocado BLT (BLAT) on sourdough with seafood bisque, and a Smash 40 with tri tip. I thought the food was delicious, others rated it as pretty good. All in all, I would go again.

After years of corporate chef life, Terry, co-owner and ice cream mix master, and his wife, co-owner, stepped out on their own and created Nice Cream to bring the joys of liquid nitrogen ice cream to our community. It doesn't hur that they're just as sweet as the treats they serve, and they really know how to handle their customers so well, making everyone feel welcome and involved, right down to the youngest! I got to try the S'mores creation that has chocolate ice cream, marshmallows, and of course, graham crackers! The marshmallows don't freeze in the process, which is super cool! I enjoyed it a lot. I would say if you're doing a waffle cone though, go for a double scoop! They came out on an a la carte basis for us, but for a party they offer a fixed rate to serve guests for a set amount of time, and it's super affordable! Again, if you want to impress your guests and have a lot of fun, Nice Cream is the way to do it!

The ambiance is kind of hole-in-the-wall with a focus on big foot, of course. I liked it. Eclectic but cool. Service was great and i ordered fish tacos and side of onion rings. There were many good things i saw on the menu but wanted a little lighter lunch and ordered fish. The fish was good with a light batter but the taco garnish didn't fit the bill. There was way too much pico and white sauce, with not a lot of flavor. But the big detractor was the layer of cheddar cheese on the bottom. Cheese, in general, does not pair well with fish but definitely not a yellow cheese. The strong cheese taste overpowered the fish. I think they need to alter their tacos based on the protein. The heavy cheese and pico might work with chicken or pork but a more citrus based slaw is needed for fish. The helping of three tacos was generous and i did finish it but by the end i had to scrape the cheese and most of the pico out. The onion rings were a soft and heavy batter. I prefer a very light batter that crisps up in the fryer so i left half the order uneaten. I would not order the fish tacos again and would probably pivot to fish n chips. That said i will visit again and try some of the other menu items that looked really good to me. That will likely improve this rating.

I immediately chose the full moon cause I love a peanut butter chocolate banana situation, and I asked for no granola (just saw on IG however it is gluten free) so I might not replace it next time however we subbed it with a chia pudding mix and I liked this a lot. The fruit tasted so fresh and the mix of everything was so tasty. I see you can kinda adjust things to your liking so I'd probably add a bit more peanut butter and not the vanilla base (if I understand it correctly there was two) I loved the coconut tasting one and I liked that it was a bit frozen so it didn't melt immediately in this summer heat. They have a regular and large size and I felt the prices were reasonable and will keep me coming back. I'm already thinking about my next one and I think my hubs will love it too!
