    What color is this cup?
    Michael C.

    Well, it's definitely an improvement over my last visit and I do have to say the employees we're friendly and welcoming. However, I didn't see a curb inside that restaurant yet. I had a curbside order. I also don't have a big yellow cup in my hand. I have a big clear cup in my hand, but still paid for a big yellow cup. I haven't eaten the food yet but so far I'm not holding out any high hopes. How do you screw up every single time? Is it me? It seems like anywhere I go anymore the best I can hope for is that I don't die. I don't get poisoned, or sick because that's about it. Is it too much to ask for somebody to do their job and I don't mean the bare minimum to keep them employed I mean your

    Texas Brisket Sandwich Combo & fried okra
    Don

    Average food. Basic BBQ done to appeal to most palates. The place was very clean, the employees appeared to have and practice good sanitation. All in all, an enjoyable mediocre American BBQ chain restaurant experience. If you expected to be wowed, you won't. If you expect basic Americana fair, you will be placated. BJs in Carson may be a better option, but this place was fast, easy and decent.

    Brisket, sausage, Mack and cheese, Texas toast, fries, regular bbq and spicy bbq sauce.

    Food is awesome. Love that they put the sauce on the side and don't drench it in bbq sauce. Service was 10/10 and they were very nice and accommodating. Ambiance is western style but they also had a tv playing Ready Player One and i love to watch shows or a movie while eating! Over all will come back again! Brisket is moist and falls apart easily, pull pork was a little dry but add a little of that spicy bbq sauce and it's great! Potato salad and beans were really good too. Mac and cheese tasted regular and the fries taste freshly made, comes out fresh and crispy! Do call before you go just in case they don't have the ribs ready! Will come back to try more of the meats!

    Obviously ate the food that I paid for. But overall not recommended, food was below average. Fries were soggy and basically cut baked potatoes, I ordered cut brisket and was served "brisket" cut along with the grain, basically pulled pork but beef edition. Will never go back, and rather cook my own brisket. So sad, especially when they are claiming new ownership. Service was great but food wasn't.

However, service has been a challenge during each visit. On our most recent visit, it took about 20 minutes to be seated with a party of four, including a child, even though there appeared to be open tables. After sitting down, it took several minutes before we were greeted. Our server brought waters and later took drink orders, but there wasn't much communication about timing or whether they were short staffed. Once we placed our order, we waited close to an hour for our food. We completely understand that restaurants can get busy and staffing can be tight -- we just would have appreciated a quick update along the way. A little communication goes a long way and helps set expectations. When our food arrived, part of the order was incorrect (we had requested a salad and soup substitution but only received fries). The server corrected it, and the food itself was good. It did come out at different times, and we noticed another table seated after us received their food much sooner, which was a bit confusing. We truly want to support Roy's and hope this feedback is helpful. With stronger communication and smoother service flow, it could be a great experience.

The space is spacious and clean. There is quite a bit of seating outside on the patio with some cute string lights. The menu offers smoked meats, sandwiches, and appetizers to share. They also offer a beer tap where you can try an array of beer and ciders. The food came out pretty fast on a Sunday night, about 8-10 minutes. Pulled pork grilled cheese with pepperjack- The pork is smokey and tender. The flavor is great on its own but if you wish for more bbq sauce, its pairs well with the spicy bbq. The pepperjack is melty and savory. The sourdough is toasted and holds up well. All in all, this was a delicious sandwich and would recommend. French fries - one word. Sensational. Crispy on the outside, potato-y interior. Pairs well with the BBQ sauce. You can upgrade your side of chili to fries for an extra cost which is worth it in my opinion. Cornbread- Awful, tasteless and incredibly dry. Skip it. Great service, fantastic BBQ sauces, and tasty meats are reasons to come back here. This is a great spot for big parties or if you have your furry friend with you.

It's been our go to place. Today being Father's Day, we were out and about in town and decided we would eat there. All the way there I kept bragging to my grandson how great this place is and it's our go to spot. yada yada yada. It wasn't very busy and we were seated very quickly. The service has always been pretty friendly. The service today was adequate and I'll get to that in a second. My grandson ordered the pork belly, Mac and cheese. I kept saying how that is a really good choice and he's really going to like it. My wife ordered the half rack ribs with fries and coleslaw. I had what I think is called the butchers platter with ribs, chicken wings, and pork belly. The food arrived and looked pretty darn good. But that's where it ends. My wife kept saying how salty the food was. And I got to thinking about that as I was eating my wings with the so-called Memphis dust flavoring on them. Those were equally salty so I thought wow OK maybe it's just our taste buds. Then I tried my ribs and they were also salty. I tried my wife's ribs just to see if they were that salty and come to find out they really were and dry. The fries that came with my wife's food tasted like they were old like they've been sitting out for a while. The coleslaw was also bland. After bragging about the pork belly and cheese, my grandson stated that it was pretty bland with very little flavor. So I tried it just to see what was going on and sure enough it was really lacking something what I don't know. I'm thinking garlic because it was pretty darn bland. I honestly hate to give a review like this because I really like this place as I said before it's been our go to spot. Now, as far as the service the server, she was very friendly, but that was pretty much it, after getting our food she didn't even check on us until it was about time for us to leave and she brought us our check. It's just kind of weird because there's a couple of servers here that are exceptional. So I don't know what's going on, but this was a very big letdown for a couple of regular customers. As usual, the place is clean and spacious with plenty of TVs to enjoy sports. In the end, the beverages were about the best part of the meal. It was Father's Day, so my beer was free so thank you for that maybe this was just a rough day. I don't know. I don't know if you have new cooks or what but this was pretty bad considering how much we like this place and how good it has always been.

So, my local friend wanted to take me to this Thai restaurant right down on the main street in downtown, if Carson has an actual downtown that is.

We get seated at a nice table near the front. My friend already knows the menu, so I go with hos suggestion for the Lunch special Duck with sauce over rice. It's $22 bucks, so it better be good! He has the Thai battered salmon for around $19. Soup is included and it's just a veggie broth, though tasty. Then our lunch specials come out. Oh wow, that duck look really good. It's totally deboned, so no messing with bones at all. The sauce was super tasty. My friend said he thinks its some sort of duck juice reduction with other added stuff. Whatever, this was one of the most tasty duck dishes I've ever had. His salmon was unique, I never saw a dish like that made with salmon. The coating was very unique and crispy and the salmon not over cooked. Overall, I really liked this place. I think my crew is having lunch at one of the local casinos, I'd rather be here!

The bill came to $80 which I felt was kinda steep for 3 items, especially in Carson City. The restaurant is located on a street where there was very limited parking in front and all the rear parking is super dark so bring your night vision goggles. At least there's plenty of parking spots. When I walked in, I was surprised to see Caucasian staff members! Well I guess this isn't that different than Panda Express where you have hispanics in the front and the 1 token asian in the back cooking. I picked up my food and was pleasantly surprised to find the dishes were pretty loaded. I started dipping into my duck curry and OMG it was probably the best I've had. Not only was the flavor amazing and spiced just right, but there was a generous amount of duck! When I went to eat dim sum recently and ordered roast duck, I got a plate of duck that was mostly skin and bones. Here they actually de-boned the meat so you're getting nice chunks of flavorful, meaty duck along with fresh chunks of pineapple, tomatoes, and spices with that yummy curry over my caucasian rice (I like to be culturally sensitive). Even my wife that don't like duck really enjoyed this. So while $80 for 3 dishes may seem a bit high, it was worth it. I really enjoyed my meal here and my kids also ate all their noodles with enough leftovers for lunch the next day.
