The Job's Peak BLT comes on soft sourdough with bacon, avocado, sunflower seeds, garlic aioli, tomato, havarti, and mixed greens. Everything was fresh, the avocado was ripe, the bacon stayed crisp, and the sandwich held up well for take-out. The side salad of mixed greens with strawberries and sunflower seeds was a clean, bright companion. Their iced tea is outstanding; passion-flower flavor and is made consistently well which brings a real highlight with the meal. The service is always amazing here. Abby-Jo and her team are always rock-stars! Solid local lunch that travels well. Will order again along with my other personal favorites like "THE Sandwich", "The Marcello", and the vegetarian "Iron Mike" made in a wrap and served with their Marion Berry dressing. PRO-TIP: their soups are amazing as well! Personal Favorites: 1. THE Sandwich - Grilled sourdough, turkey, havarti, garlic aioli, roasted tomato and yummy caramelized onions. 2. The Marcello - Grilled sourdough with turkey, garlic, aioli, pesto, provolone, roasted tomato, artichoke hearts and caramelized onions. 3. The Iron Mike (vegetarian) - Wheat bread (or wrap), peanut butter, avocado, havarti, cucumber, sunflower seeds, carrot, sprouts, spring mix, red onion, and a splash of our famous Marionberry vinaigrette. Super yummy and super for you too! 4. Job's Peak BLT - Bacon, avocado, sunflower seeds, garlic aioli, tomato, havarti and mixed greens on soft sourdough.

We were on a roadtrip and passing through, this place had nice healthy options so we stopped in! We…read morehad our pups with us so we sat on their little tables outside. We were so intrigued by the veggie sandwich with peanut butter (forgetting the name now, sigh) so we split that and also had the Thai chicken peanut wrap that comes with chips and a side of fruit. Wow! So great! Also not pictured was a lemon cake we had to give a try. Everything was very fresh and delicious. What I will not soon forget was the impeccable service! We didn't have time to feed our dogs breakfast before hitting the road and asked if we could purchase some chicken breast. Well she brought it over on the house and gave them a water dish straight away! She also came by every 10-15 mins or so to refill water and check on us even though it was packed inside! Also, the prices are very very reasonable and we just had such a nice stop here that we're swinging by on our way back from our trip.

So there we were. We…read morewanted to take a bike ride, have breakfast, and enjoy a beautiful spring day. We did all of that and we decided to have breakfast at the Overland. We knew it wasn't going to be crowded and the food will be fresh, but it was so much more than that. Overland is lucky to employ Tennessee, who might just be the best server in the Carson Valley. I grant you that we haven't been to every restaurant and we haven't had every server and so it could be hyperbole to try to tell you that he's the best, but we need to be sure to let you know that he is clearly in the top percentile of quality, local servers. Why you ask. He anticipated our every need, and so we always had water, always had coffee, and he cleared every single time he got near the table. His positive energy is infectious. Yes, I can hear you now, what about the food? My wife can, on occasion, high maintenance, and this was one of those mornings. She ordered the Eggs Benedict without the bottom bread plus one more whole extra Eggs Benedict, and Tennessee didn't flinch. I ordered the vegetarian omelette and I had side breakfast potatoes. All of it tasted great. I even tried the hollandaise sauce on my wife's eggs Benedict and it tasted fresh and tasty. So, I say give Tennessee a raise, and when you go to the Overland, hope that you get seated in his section because it will be an experience that you won't forget soon, and the food is very good. Somehow, this breakfast restaurant is flying under the radar on Saturdays and Sundays. They truly deserve to be packed as they have the formula for success, great service, good food, and a clean environment..

We were able to…read moresit outside with the dog on the small patio out back, which was very welcome as we were on our way to camp with the dog and couldn't leave her in the car on such a hot day. Bonus, we caught happy hour! Our server was helpful, clarifying some menu and general questions for us. We didn't realize that it was the same owners of Great Basin, but it was very reminiscent with pub fare, similar menu styles, and Great Basin beers on tap. We'd stop again, but wouldn't go out of our way since we have several Great Basin locations to choose from in Reno.

Schat's Bakery & Restaurant in Minden was a perfect stop when we came off the lake for a night from…read moreour local camping spot. We ordered the Reuben Stacker and the Tahoe Blue. 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. Portions were generous and the bread is amazing and baked in-house daily. The bakery case is one of many reasons to come back....! Coffee cakes, croissants, cookies, fruit tarts, and packaged loaves were all out and labeled. We bought croissants and cookies to take back to camp and they traveled (and ate) well....! 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.

It's always relaxing and the interior is classic. We ate in the park since they are already closing, but that's alright.

The…read morerestaurant sits in a small strip mall just across from Oi Coffee, with plenty of convenient parking. We were greeted right away by cheerful planters overflowing with vibrant wildflowers in full bloom around the restaurant and parking lot; a lovely, welcoming touch that made the arrival feel special. We were seated immediately in a simple, clean dining room. Warm, fresh chips arrived quickly with waters and three excellent dips: a zesty red salsa, a flavorful green salsa (my favorite; I don't often see it served, and it was fresh and full of amazing flavors), and a tasty refried bean dip. All three were delicious. My wife and I split the cheese enchiladas and the Carne Asada dinner. Both were authentically prepared and full of flavor. The carne asada was tender and well-seasoned, the enchiladas rich and satisfying with plenty of melted cheese and savory sauce. We finished most of it and happily brought the extra steak home for breakfast omelets the next morning. The staff checked on us regularly throughout the meal and surprised us with a free dessert at the end...! A nice, thoughtful gesture. Overall, a warm and satisfying experience. We'll be back!

The owner and his wife clearly work hard in the kitchen and care about the product. Service is the ongoing problem. It routinely takes a long time to get an order placed. Staff rarely check on the table. Water refills can take 20-30 minutes, so we usually get our own. Food is often delivered by a robot whose shelves look unclean, and tips are still expected. Order mistakes happen often enough that we factor them in before we decide to come. The lumpia in the photo were mostly fine, but one arrived mangled and should not have been served. The poke bowl was excellent. We still stop in because it is the closest place for sushi or poke. When we have extra time we drive farther for the same food with better service. The kitchen is capable. The front of house needs real attention.

I wanted some breakfast without having to go to an IHOP or Denny's. The place is TINY. Mostly 2-top tables and a handful of booths and bar seating. If you are seated at a regular table, expect to be friendly with the guests next to you. It's such tight quarters that you can't help but start having conversations with the people next to you. I got the pork chops with eggs and hash browns. You get 2 decent sized bone-in pork chops. They were well seasoned and juicy. Really good. My son got a pancake from the kid's menu that was shaped like a Mickey Mouse head. It was huge. I got a sausage patty to go with it. This was the only sub-par item as it was dry and lifeless. I feel like it was sitting on the flat top or under a heat lamp for hours. It wasn't worth eating. Other than that, the food we had over all was good. The service was OK. The morning we went, it seemed like there was only 1 server for the entire restaurant. She was taking orders,serving, AND bussing tables. So, the quality of service wasn't the best. She was rushed. Glad I was able to try a local spot.
