    Parking lot packed when the jackpot is high!
    Paul P.

    Folks here are always helpful and friendly. Depending on the "jackpot" defines the lines. Arrive early generally helps avoid that. The line is for folks who want personalized service. If you want to buy lotto tickets enter through the side door to use the machines. Cash only, ATM is available on site. There is ice cream & sodas for sale. Generally clean and well maintained.

    Quality/Quantity - This was my buddy's "go to" place for breakfast every morning before skiing. But they increased the price by $1 so we stopped coming, lol. Our "go to" breakfast was in the Sierra Cafe. They used to have pancakes, eggs, bacon/sausage, hash browns, etc. for only like $5-6 bucks. Atmosphere - Convenient in and out location. Casino, RV resort, gas station, etc. Open 24 hours. Plenty of parking in the back, but we have never had an issue getting a space up front either. Service - Good. We usually just go to the cafe. I have not used any of the other services. Nor have I gambled here. Price - Depends on what you buy/drink. Or depends on how much you gamble. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success with your 8-10+ locations...?

    We stopped off here on the way to Reno .They have everything.Gas station, casino, restaurant's, convenient store,RV,ect.I recommend this place

    HUGE French Toast serving; very good. Bacon was typical/ greasy

    First time here for convenience of being close to the border. Came into restaurant right as they opened at 8am on a Sunday. Seated right away, food came out little over 10 mins later. Good portion sizes for breakfast and the price. Very basic, but still yummy and waitresses were very nice. I have to dox a star for the women's restroom being closed as we came in, especially with who roams around the small casino. But still will return!

    On our fist trip to do a little fishing at Stampede. We had all the gear ready and just needed ice. As always lots of people getting gas to go back to Ca.

    It's my reliable breakfast stop when I stay near Reno. It's easy to park, get in the restaurant & order. During the pandemic they're wearing masks & keeping things spotless. I was seated quickly, had coffee within 2 minutes, ordered right away & was delivered a tasty breakfast of ham, eggs & hash browns within 5 minutes of ordering. I'll keep coming back!

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.

The staff were attentive to our needs and the food worth going back for. I was impressed!

It was loaded with what tasted like fresh potatoes, spinach and veggies and loved that it was NOT drowning in cheese. I personally thanked the chef as it was probably one of the best breakfast burritos I have eaten in a long time. Not sure where the cranberry orange muffin came from and my vanilla latte with oat milk both were perfect. The young ladies who work the front are so friendly and welcoming. Very , very nice staff. And I really love the somewhat hidden way location with the (small) but welcoming front patio . Absolutely worth the drive or stop by if you are in Verdi. My only "disappointment" is that they do have fairly limited hours - even on the weekend.

This straight forward home style cooking serves breakfast and lunch five days a week until 3 pm. Breakfast portions are substantial. Fluffy airy pancakes that require no syrup.

And house made Bloody Mary mix that creates a drink that looks like a meal, but I was assured it was just an appetizer. If you slept in or weren't quite feeling like breakfast, there's a great variety of hearty sandwiches. My go to is the BLTA on your choice of bread. Fries are good, but I highly recommend the tater tots- they are tossed in crack, so you just can't stop. And don't ask me to share. The French dip was piled high with thinly sliced roast beef on a fresh hoagie bun. There's a great small patio out front, large dining room to the right or the quaint cafe like area you walk into. Also congrats to the CC crew. 2026 Rocky Mountain Oyster Festival winning Philly cheesesteaks. Yes it was delicious.
