this used to be an absolute favorite spot of mine. i actually had this reciew sitting in my drafts when it closed: "best spot for a late night diner meal. great milkshakes. breakfast served at all times. food is alright, but definitely hits the spot if you're out in the middle of the night." however, with the re-opening, the diner closes at 2pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]there is a bar area that is open until 11, which has a much smaller menu and not the same charm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] went for dinner the other night, the food was fine. it was much more of an okay sports bar menu. they were out of some things too. there are only a couple milkshake options. the gold 'n silver shake was amazing, but they don't give you the full diner-style tin anymore! the service was also fine. i'm looking forward to going back to try the re-opened diner side, but with the new hours, i'm not likely to go much anymore. i'm disappointed that a once regular spot of mine is now much less available. reno has very few late night dining options, and now we've lost our best one. read more

After more than a year being closed for renovations after the casino bought out the original private owners, this now subsidiary of "J" falls far short of the service and satisfaction that cradled the original restaurant. Besides revamping the menu and removing the unique dishes (think Mahogany Sauce) that made it a great 24/7 dinner, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the upgrade to the dining room is fine and now there's a dedicated bar[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I first visited after an Aces evening game looking to use the restaurant. Nope. Only the bar is available after lunch. My wife and I had some fries and wings. To be fair, the wings were an upgrade to the original restaurant. We wanted to experience breakfast on Sat. We did arrive "late" around 10:30am. There was a line and we were told it would be a 10 minute wait minimum. Our choice... we walked because we didn't want to wait. Came back this morning and was seated instantly. The hostess was attentive and welcoming, telling us our server (name eludes me) will be with us in a moment. No offer of coffee or drinks No big deal looking at my watch I saw 8 minutes tick away. 8 minutes in service industry parlance is a lifetime. I stood up and saw the waitress rolling silverware. We came in at 7am - this task isn't done at the end of shift yesterday? We waited another couple of minutes and walked. We were never acknowledged by the server. No coffee. There was just one other table seated in the joint. Next to us no less Nope - won't come back What was just a gem of a local diner is now nothing but an arm of corporate casinos looking to keep people around their property. The hardest thing to do is to get a customer to walk into the business The easiest should be to keep them coming back you are not in our rotation of meal options and will not be added and I didn't even get to sample your steak and eggs breakfast ciao read more

Not a fan! A company as big as Jacob's Entertainment shouldn't be this far off. We were quoted 45 minutes was in a restaurant that was only 1/3 full, the food took 45 minutes to come out. We had to ask for everything this, refills, a server, check... The manager was too busy barking orders at people to be bothered with customers. They have forgotten who their customer base is. The menu has such small letters that every table around us complained, seniors can't read that fine print and confusing placement of prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The remodel is nice as it adds space, a bar, and a separate slots area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I guess really good food reviews stick in your mind forever even if it was 10 years old. So my husband saw Guy Fieri review their meatloaf one day and since we were going to be in town but just our luck, when we asked, it was a new owner, redone cafe, and a whole different recipe. Noooo. Well, the redone restaurant was nice with a retro cafe ambiance, and our server Kellie was extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. I ordered the breakfast tacos which I liked, it was totally filling. My side hash browns were crispy and the sourdough bread was okay. My husband really liked his omelette, all ingredients inside were fresh and thoroughly cooked like he likes and the side potatoes had green and red bell peppers which he liked but they were not crispy at all. Overall it was okay for us with a slight disappointment that we couldn't taste the original meatloaf recipe reviewed by Guy Fieri. read more

Gold 'N Silver Inn - Biggest little breakfast - American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

First time back to the Gold N Silver since they closed for remodeling. Excellent staff. Misty was our server. She took the time to tell us about all of their locally sourced providers, from the coffee to the meats to the ice cream. Explained that all of the sauces, etc are now made in house. They use Basque Chorizo so I was excited to try the Basque breakfast. The food was awesome. Very happy that we stopped in and will be back! Currently the dining room is only open until 2pm. They do serve food in the lounge after that though. Stop by and check it out. If you're able to sit in Misty's section, you won't be disappointed. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This was a cute little diner. It definitely feels like it takes you back a few decades. It definitely is The Local Spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can tell it has been newly renovated, but it's still kept it old school, back in the day, no frills sort of charm. I cannot remember the name of our waitress. However, she was very nice. I definitely felt for her. Although we were making request that we're being communicated to the kitchen. Almost all of our food orders came out with different issues. Some of us asked for bacon and got sausage. Some of us asked for potatoes without the bell peppers and onions. We got them anyway. Some of us as our egg prepared a certain way. They did not come out that way. After our asking several times for beverage, refills, and napkins, things just were not happening. So, service started out pretty good in the beginning, but towards the end of our meal, it was non-existent. The next group that receded in our waitresses section, they appear to be a large group of frequent local business witches minimum Annette quickly and easy to take down their order. We went, but not handle it. The food was OK. Some of our meal was like warm - cold. What brought it then was an old episode of diners and drive-ins by Guy Fieri. The item that put them on not available any longer. That was a bummer. Portions are not very large. You would be lucky to come here and have your accurate order delivered to you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room is very clean and well lit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We are 45 year customers. Down from 5 stars to 1 star. Gold 'N Silver reopened after being closed for over a year. They have chosen to block every single handicap parking space with construction equipment and storage bins. The menu has half the number of items It used to and of course the prices have gone up up UP !! They have changed from Coca-Colaa products to Pepsi. Service is beyond slow. It's been 20 minutes since we were seated and they have not come to the table to take our order. They did not have first two menu items I tried to order. They have cut the food portions to one piece of toast & one egg with the breakfast orders. Once ordered, it took 35 minutes for the food to arrive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing the new owner (J's) has accomplished in a year long remodel is showing they have no regard for tradition & have turned this restaurant into an over priced cheesy cafe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was perfect for a family breakfast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The hostess station is still working out the kinks. The dining room is only open for breakfast and lunch until 2:00. Breakfast choices included choice of two meats, which was more than adequate. My wife and I will probably share our next order and simply add an extra order of eggs. Be sure to ask for Hedy. She's back from the previous restaurant and you can count on great service! read more

Very disappointed. Ordered the chicken fried steak for breakfast. I got shoe leather covered with gravy instead. The portion of home fries was so small I thought I may have ordered off the child's menu. And it was $20 ! Just the breakfast and water, no coffee, no drinks, nothing else. I've crossed Gold and Silver off my list, won't ever be back. Have some great memories of the old days though, but that's about it.... read more

Had to come here before their remodel hiatus. I believe this is the last week before they're going to be closed until the end of the year. Terrible but the Jacobs group did buy the whole area to remodel. I ordered the chicken fried steak with a request to put gravy on everything including the baked potato. Nothing better than sausage gravy on anything. I'll miss them until the end of the year and hope they don't mess with the tried and true restaurant/diner offerings but that's too much to hope for, but one must hope they don't change it up a whole lot. read more

Very disappointed that the new golden silver Inn diner is only opened until 2 PM every day of the week. It used to be open 24 hours a day and now it doesn't even offer dinner. Several places it says it's open until 11 PM or 1 AM on the weekends, that is only the bar that is open not the restaurant. It took so long and spent so much money remodeling the place, at least offer people dinner. read more

I know I am critical because that is how I was trained. I was the assistant food and beverage manager at Hyatt's second-largest property at the time, the Del Monte Hyatt House in Monterey, and later at San Francisco's Regency on Drumm Street. The manager, Joel, cannot serve as a filler. He needs to step back and manage the employees. The busboy is pretty good at clearing and disinfecting the table within 90 seconds of departure, which should be the goal. The mouth breather blond is clueless and needs direction. Making the rounds with coffee, and no water was asked for or delivered. She needs to refill the coffee pot every 10 minutes and walk the entire restaurant offering refills. All waitstaff, regardless of assignment, should consider all customers "their own." Three guys next to us were being waited on by the heavy-set waiter, but our booth, the next over, was ignored for 30 minutes without coffee. We were assigned an inefficient female waitress who was busier chatting with out-of-towners ("hope your flight goes well" while we were ignored for 30 minutes, and even then, when coffee was brought by the flagged-down manager, he had to go back for half & half. There are FAR TOO MANY WASTED STEPS. TAKE SOMETHING IN AND TAKE SOMETHING OUT, The SW corner chef, tall, glasses, TMCC black hat, is efficient, proficient, and organized. The SE to cooks has none of these qualities. My eggs, sausage, and hash browns were cold. My biscuit was served without butter. My partner's omelet was hot, and so were her hash browns. These all came from the SE cook station. So, once again, the mgr needs to push coffee and water out, while keeping a keen eye on how long the plates sit on the pickup counter after being prepared. Mainly at the SE cook's station. The SW station, with the loan chef, ensures things are done in an orderly manner and picked up promptly. The blond mouth-breather needs to circulate with a fresh and FULL pot of coffee throughout the entire restaurant. The waitstaff needs to attend to all tables as needed. Meanwhile, as locals, WE WILL TRY THE CRACKER BARRELL or continue going to PEG'S, which has none of the issues. Manager manages, and stop being a server. Hostesses, besides showing us to a table with menus, offer water and coffee if the place is buzzing, or better still, DO IT ANYWAY. The busboy needs to ask the customer if he can remove the plates when they are set aside, rather than waiting for the vacant booth. THREE WEEKS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO ANALYZE THE DEFICIENCIES AND M A N A G E THEM. FIRST OPINIONS ARE LASTING OPINIONS. YOU ARE LOSING CUSTOMER BASE WHILE YOUR MANAGER DOES NOT MANAGE, AND FILLS IN AS A WAITER WHEN HE SHOULD BE CRACKING THE WHIP. NOT COMING BACK. You lost me. LOCALS LOST FOREVER. read more

Went here after a night at the bar right before close. Their staff were very friendly and welcoming.

A let down. I was hoping for something similar to the old menu. No spaghetti no lasagna none of the good comfort food. And the milk shakes!!! OMG! the worst. I should have ordered a chocolate milk. It would have been thicker. AND it took a very long time to get it to our table. They say it's big. But NOT. if you poor it into their soda cups is the same size. 8 dollars is 7 dollars to much. Our waitress walked by us several times and never said a word to us. The old help was better. Definitely not worth it. In this case change is not good. Better luck next time. read more

I have been a customer since the early 1970's . The absolute Worst chicken fried steak I've had in years! Overcooked and the gravy was nasty!The squash was horrid. The salad was garbage!

They don't refill even water! Service is slow and terrible. I'll never go back! read more

If you want to step back in time and experience the nostalgia of good diner experience. This is your spot. My friend ordered the turkey dinner. She raved at the juicy slices of scrumptious turkey.

The salad was great as was the broccoli. Maybe on my next visit to Reno I will try it again read more

this place closing is an absolute tragedy for the city of Reno. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a stalwart diner, classic old school, kind of like the old coffee grinder, which is also sadly defunct.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . The cheeseburger with fries here was just wonderful flavorful Hardy a classic diner favorite, but a lot of people also came here for many of the other dishes. They had perfected over the years. . This is where developers do evil things taking out an institution that we could never get back the golden silver and scream 1960s and 1970s every man and now it's gone forever read more

We ate here just before Thanksgiving, and then again this weekend. In between that time, they've gotten a new (more limited) menu. First off, the service this weekend was excellent. Friendly, timely and food came out just as ordered. The restaurant is brighter and cheerier than it was under the old owners. However, the old menu had many many more options. The new menu is much more limited. Pretty much only heart attacks on a plate. If you're looking for healthy choices, you probably want to keep looking. read more

I've been watching DDD and I saw this local gem. The decor is no frills and mid-century diner. Our server was a nice older woman who was super attentive and sweet. I had to try the ground beef pounder and boy was it a lot. The mashed potatoes were to die for and had the red skins which I like, it was creamy, well seasoned, with the perfect balance of smooth and potato chunk. The ground pounder itself was a huge chunk of meat- nice char flavor but could use some salt. The gravy was delish. I did not eat much of it because I was too full from my soup, shake, and wings. We also ordered wings and the garlic parm wings were huge, crispy, but lacked flavor to me. You get hit with the garlic oil and parm but it needs a binder or more seasoning- I asked for a side of the mahogany sauce and tossed my wings in it and they were perfect. I also got a chocolate shake and it was one of the best shakes I've had- came in extra shaker so you basically get two milkshakes for the price of $7.50. I would come back just for the shake alone tbh. I will come back. read more

Same great food, same great service, same great atmosphere, same huge portions, new owners! When the original owner said he was retiring and sold the place to the new owners...then the new owners started hinting about closing it...this town flew into an uproar to defend this iconic restaurant! The new owners heard us and decided to keep it open and intact...for which we're all glad... To recap from my previous review...open 24/7/365 for over 60 years...featured on Diners Drive-Ins And Dives with Guy Fieri on the Food Network...old school coffee shop/diner vibe...I always sit at the counter and the service is still impeccable, the food is delicious, the portions are large...it's my late night go-to...especially for my favorite, biscuits and gravy. The ONLY change that I'm not happy about? The new owners don't let the staff wear their iconic branded t-shirts anymore when they're working. I try to wear mine every time I visit. What more can be said except that we ALL need to continue to support this place so the new owners will have no excuse but to keep it open! Get by there now...and often! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved the food, the ambiance...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] they've been closed for 7+ months and still now news of reopening.

I was on my way back to Sac over the hill coming from Fernley, and I was told I needed to check out the iconic Reno institution, Gold N Silver Inn, that been here for decades. It was featured on TV by that blonde spiky haired buffoon yammer'in on about how good the place was. I don't put a lot of credit in the guy or his crass style, but hey to each their own. I'll make up my own mind after experiencing this Reno "institution". Speaking of institution, that's the immediate feeling I got upon entering the Gold N Silver. Institutional cafeteria setting with the lack of interesting decor and those damn florescent lights! We were told just sit anywhere in the middle area ringed by generic booths. The server was over right away, but wasn't all that friendly, efficient kinda like a Chinese restaurant. I don't need chain restaurant faux friendly, but comm'on smile a little? I browsed the menu before arriving online, so I kind of knew what I'd like to try. I came with one friend, I dropped the rest of my crew at the new In N Out up the street. We both ordered the Sierra Burger ($17.00) a 12 oz (3/4 lb.) burger patty served with cheese and grilled onions on a buttered and toasted French roll. Served with a side salad as my side .... trying to be a bit healthier than having a pile of fries! What I pictured in my mind was far from what we received. The salad was fine, but the burger .... It was served on a soft squishy French type roll with lettuce, tomato and totally unmelted cheese. The meat appeared not to be a single formed 12 oz patty, but mushed together 2 smaller patties. We were so hungry, we just started eating, but after eating some, we both noticed, hey, wasn't this supposed to come with grilled onions? Yeah, they forgot the damn onions on both of the burgers. Grilled onions are my fave part of a burger! Too, late now, we ate half our meals .... but the kitchen should have made it right! Shit, I'd been better off going to the In N Out with the rest of my crew. They add the grilled onions! These burgers were definitely not worth $17.00 bucks each! I'd pay up to $20 bucks for a great burger, but this sure wasn't it! Reno iconic institution my butt, this place needs to just close down or do a total remake. I've run into other places like this, old time places that survive somehow on old customers that just don't wanna change despite better options out there. Geeze, change out that cafeteria florescent lighting! 2 stars is being very generous here! read more

The food was good here. The restaurant doesn't look like much on the outside. However, a friend who was meeting us for dinner recommended this place as a good one prior to attending a full evening of concerts at the nearby Glow Plaza. Parking was convenient, too. We had a choice of center tables or a side booth, so we chose the booth. The server gave us time to peruse the menu, chat a bit, and then order. Our friend, anticipating the cooler evening temps and the likelihood of a little light rain during the course of the evening concerts said his plan was to order Mac 'n cheese, plus a side of chili and cornbread. Mix 'em together with cheese sprinkles and sour cream, and you've created a generous helping of chili Mac! That sounded good to me! I unabashedly copied his order. The bf opted for the three ground meats shepherds pie. The food was served very quickly, which was great since we were hungry. The chili Mac hit the spot. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to eat it all but the corn bread (but I wrapped it in a napkin for later). I got to have a taste of the shepherds pie...and it was delicious, too. I will definitely be back here for a pre-event meal at future outdoor concerts in the neighborhood. read more

The food just didn't have the same quality, and the prices weren't the bargain I remembered. Hoping it finds its way back to what made it special. read more

Gold 'N Silver Inn - Not so amazing breakfast - American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My aunt, who has lived in Reno for decades, took us to Gold 'N Silver for lunch after telling us a little bit about its history. We gladly wanted to see the place and try the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was like going back in time, but clean and well maintained.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]As we entered we walked past a few old slot machines and were quickly seated by very friendly staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I should have gotten the name of our waitress, but she was kind, courteous and even brought my brother a taste of the hot sauce served with the Tri tip sandwich before he ordered because he thought it might be too spicy. It was delish! Loved her personality; she genuinely cared and it showed in her service. My pastrami on rye was great, with a homemade-like tasting coleslaw. Everyone else enjoyed their meals, including BLTA, patty melt and a breakfast dish. I would definitley go back the next time we are in Reno. read more

Gold 'N Silver Inn - Counter clockwise: breakfast dish, Tri tip sandwich, Pastrami on rye, Patty melt on rye - American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I think it was mention of the Gold 'N Silver from "Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives" that caught my attention. I tried once to set up a "couples date" here, but Marti demurred about the ambiance and the neighborhood. Then I read about the developer who purchased the property and wondered how long I would have to pay this place a visit. Gayle and I got our chance this morning. We dropped off our granddaughter (who was visiting from Indiana) @RNO at 6 AM and then headed off to Gold N' Silver. This place opened in 1956 and bills itself as the city's "oldest casual restaurant." A couple early observations: - Gold N' Silver is just off Downtown (to the West) and is apparently part of the evolving "Neon Line" neighborhood. Based on the sign on the door and bathroom security, management is very diligent about potential panhandling or "street people" walking in. But visually (at least during the day), the neighborhood looks fine. - The seating/tables and dividers are definitely old school diner, but I found the interior of the restaurant to be clean and well maintained. During out stay, we enjoyed the ambiance. Ad for breakfast: - Our server was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Coffee was refilled regularly and our order was taken promptly and delivered relatively quickly. - The menu (they're open 24 hours) offered lots of options. Breakfast is on the back, with the list of sides on one of the inside pages. - Their Bloody Mary was $6 which Gayle very much enjoyed. - Our breakfast selections were well portioned and delicious. I had eggs, sausage links, fruit, and a biscuit, while Gayle couldn't finish her huge omelet. I'm sure I'll be back (with or without Gayle or our Reno friends). There's nothing like comfort food served at a favorite diner or deli. read more
