    My friends and I came here last night and were quickly greeted. Kayla, our server took care of us and made good recommendations for food. There are plenty of places to sit upstairs and downstairs. I went with the vodka sauce pasta with chicken. The vodka pasta was yummy and filling. The chicken tasted fresh and juicy paired well with the pasta. The chicken would have been better if there was more seasoning. The prices are affordable at the cafe. They have a good selection of drinks and food. I love the homey atmosphere. We had a great experience here and I'm looking forward to stopping by when I'm in the area.

    Good Days Cafe is the perfect, trendy college spot. The food is affordable and drinks are creative while the menu seems curated for a study session. The staff is also incredibly friendly and helpful.

    This is the Meatball Sandwhich at Good Days Cafe....really tasty! I got the sweet potatoes as my side. They were really good too!

    This is the first time I come here and aside the couple of plastic bags (trash) at the entrance steps, I really liked it. It's located in an old 2-story house, so the layout is really cozy. There is plenty of seating on the first floor and even more seating on the second floor, with a couch and even some more hidden areas where you can take a lap top and do some work. Honestly, I love this place. The menu has a really nice variety, such as Smoothies, Coffee, Sandwhiches and even Pasta dishes. They also serve various alcoholic beverages. Conveniently, you place your order at the counter and then your food is brought to your table. I had the Meatball Sandwhich, which was really really good. The bread was toasted just enough that it was crunchy to the bite, but never really got soggy even though the meatballs were served with plenty of sauce. The meatballs and sauce were full of flavor...absolutely delicious!! It was also served with a choice of one side, Sweet Potatoes, House Potato, Arugula Salad and House Salad. I had the Sweet Potatoes and really liked that they were boiled and not fried. I also had a Honey Lavender Latte from their Specialty Menu. It was really yummy and not overly sweet. I think I have a new favorite place!

    Good Days is a great spot. It's super spacious inside and has a really large food and drink menu with plenty of options. The prices are great too, which makes it an easy place to come back to. Parking can be a little tricky since it's right across from UNR, but it's definitely worth the stop. Overall, a solid place with good vibes, good food, and good prices.

    Steak and Eggs
    Luis L.

    Great food really enjoyed the steak and eggs. But my favorite was the Strawberry matcha it was very tasty. Overall with college students being out of school it makes it easy to find parking and get to the location I definitely will be back to try the rest of the matcha drinks.

    Iced Honey Lavender Latte

    My husband and I tried Good Days Cafe for lunch the other day after hearing so many great things. The building is a cute older home near UNR that was remodeled to be a restaurant (previously Laughing Planet) offering a variety of indoor and outdoor seating options. I had the iced Honey Lavender Latte and it was amazing and comes in a cute travel can they seal in house once your drink is made. I ordered the Caprese Panini added chicken and had the arugula house salad. The chicken was a little overcooked so a bit dry. My husband ordered the Italian Panini and house salad, his was a bit over toasted for his preference. Both sandwich options were tasted good but nothing special. Definitely a little underwhelming as we were expecting something different. The service was great for it being a bit busy duty lunch. I will be back for the coffee for sure!!

    So excited to finally get to stop by Good Days Cafe since its grand opening a month ago! The building has a historic feel from the outside, and the inside is bright and open with exposed brick, warm wood floors, and both upstairs and downstairs seating. The upstairs lounge-style area is especially cozy. We ordered the yogurt bowl, the steak and eggs, and a lavender honey latte. The latte was the highlight for me, rich and flavorful. They also use a canning machine for their coffee drinks, which is novel and fun to see in action. The food was mostly good. The yogurt bowl was topped with fresh berries and granola, but the steak was under-seasoned and undercooked, lacking much flavor, which was disappointing. Even so, I would definitely return! The space is great, the menu has a good variety of offerings, the coffee is solid, and it's in a nice little cluster of shops near Insomnia Cookies, Buzzed Coffee, and Reno Roots Kava Bar. I'd be happy to try more of the menu next time we drop in.

    Vodka pasta
    Mary Jane S.

    We came here for the pastas since my daughter raved of how amazing it is. She was right, the Pastas are delicious and service was quick. Note that all pasta bowls are just pasta and choice of sauce, proteins can be added to any bowl for an extra charge. Only downside is parking is very limited - only street parking available. Other than that, this is a great place near downtown/UNR to have some pasta. They also serve breakfast, lunch and drinks and have plenty of indoor seating on the first and second floor.

    Iced Banana Latte and Breakfast Sandwich

    This space is right next to Buzzed Coffee near UNR. The food was great. I loved the latte togo cup, I do think the coffee could be a little stronger but overall was good. The workspace is beautiful. We came in the morning and the entire upstairs was empty. It was the perfect place to take my 2 kids and enjoy my coffee without worrying about being too loud. We had a young blonde girl take our order and she was super friendly and nice. I will definitely be back.

    I am glad reno has a version of the similar of the mint mojito from Philz coffee! Years back another local bar once had a version of it. I went on a Saturday afternoon which had people coming in and out of the entrance also people sitting at the tables or walking up or down the stairs. I was greeted immediately when I walked in and knew what I wanted. My drink was light and refreshing with a good taste of coffee. Everyone was so friendly and the inside was well lit! I can't wait to come back and try their food!

    Here's the dealio, I love this place and it's great but I also just ordered the carbonara and whoever prepared it needs additional training so this is just an FYI (pls see photo).. the oat milk they use ain't my flavorite but other than that I'm glad it's in that spot instead of laughing planet tbh

    My son and I spent the morning here for mom's weekend with his fraternity. Amazing service, especially from Emily up front and Richie who seemed to be everywhere. The food was delicious; beautifully plated and well portioned. The bottomless mimosas were extremely generous, never seen champagne flowing as freely for bottomless drinks. The St.Jude's speciality chai stole the show for me. So unique and fun to drink in their own company bottling. The atmosphere of Good Days is fun and inviting. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to town to visit again!

    Update on the matcha: They are using better matcha now! My favorite is the mango one as the other ones are a little too sweet. I prefer the matcha taste over the sweeter matcha drinks, but I know everyone has their preference.

    I went here on Sunday mid afternoon before Memorial Day so I assume many students had left town so…read morethe place was pretty empty (so service was excellent.) Was surprised it had a second floor with a small deck and pretty decent views! Big place. Great Happy Hour Deals (half off drinks) and other specials. I haven't eaten breakfast there but the burger I'd put in the top 4 in Reno. It is giant diameter wise but the meat is the same amount of a smaller thicker burger which makes it no too hard to eat. I'd call this a Purist's Burger. Crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, sauce. They went really light on the sauce to the point I didn't think it had any. Fries were excellent too. Price is very reasonable (that's typical near a college.) I've tried Royce, Juicy's, and The Parlor. I'd put Archies below Royce and Parlor but above Juicy's. Two left on my list are Armando & Son's Butcher Shop and of course Beefy's.

    Parking was open at 5 pm on Sunday. Noticed a person sitting in the booth for Archie's parking…read moreonly, monitoring the parking. Other reviewers mentioned parking lot can be quite packed. We found parking right away. We noticed the large banner outside touting best burgers. Was craving fish and chips, buttttt decided to go with a burger. Ricardo was our server.. we were greeted as we were stepping through the door. Told to take a seat anywhere. Ricardo recommended "any" burger with a smile. I asked whether I should order onion rings or fries, he said order the Texas Toothpicks.. Combo of beer battered onions and jalapeños. Ok let's do this. Richard's must have checked in on us 5-7 times during our meal, great service! Actually we had an entire conversation about his service, friendly, efficient, quick, chatty, and gets the order right! Order Bloody Mary served with banana pepper, green olive and lime.. no salted rim, which is fine, missing salty component for me BECAUSE I LIKE SALT... Drink was GOOD. Bloody Mary and Corona brought icy cold within two minutes. Jalapeno burger and fries son loved his burger! Son felt his burger had appropriate amount of salt and great char crusting. Garlic butter burger and Texas Toothpicks which is beer battered onions and jalapeños. In my opinion this burger starts with the bread.. Delicious soft bun that actually fits the patty. The patty had a nice sear on it, it was under seasoned and almost well done. The burger was lacking salt component to complement the garlic. Had the burger been seasoned, and had I have ordered it medium rare, (my mistake) it would have been really good. The burger did come without condiments which I appreciate because I can put my own in appropriate amounts to my liking. I added a pinch of salt, no complaining and we were good to go! I didn't even eat 1/4 of my food! The burgers and portions were HUGE!! The Texas Toothpicks were really good, a good fry was achieved on them. They held up to being dipped in ranch. 1/2 order hot wings and fries The wings were ordered breaded and hot. They had a good crisp, and were fried appropriately! Good amount of salt. The fries were served super crispy, piping hot and perfectly salted. The order came with carrots and celery without having to ask. Ranch.. Ranch is a serious condiment in our household with food like this. It was good. An appropriate amount was served with wings, and of course for us fries and ranch go hand in hand. The restaurant was clean, all staff was friendly and great service!!!

They did my over-medium eggs perfectly, and the brisket was nice and smoky and also surprisingly lean. The braised greens on the side surprised me a little with the flavor at first--I thought it was a bit too salty, but the tang seemed to come from like a vinegar flavor or something, and it kind of grew on me. Went pretty well with the other parts of the meal. I have to admit I was a little surprised the biscuit was a bit dense and dry--still tasted fresh/made, just a bit off in terms of size and taste compared to the rest of the stuff on the plate. We also got the beignets, which came with a nice bourbon sauce, but sadly a few of them weren't cooked all the way through. The interior was very bright (lots of windows) and clean, and the service team behind the counter was very pleasant. Also, I thought the price was fantastic for the special--like $14.95-for a very satisfying and overall well-made meal. We'll be back to try other stuff on the menu.

We came in for Saturday Brunch around 10am, early, I know, however we were greeted and given a table right away. The restaurant wasn't busy for a Saturday, we did receive really attentive and thoughtful service from our server, Kylie. While they still had their Holiday drink specials menu, the server did confirm they have 2 for 1 mimosas and $6 bloody marys. The special was a Prime Rib breakfast burrito which both of the people I came in with ordered while I ordered the breakfast BLT. The Prime Rib burrito was so tender and juicy with a fried egg in the middle, definitely a special item for sure. I had the BLT on an everything bagel with a side of fruit and it hit the spot of a lighter, less hearty breakfast. For good service and cheap drinks, I will definitely be back!

    Hey there Party People…read more In Reno doing the Gambling thing as well as the SPA. Decided to branch out and try a locals favorite the Bighorn Tavern. The atmosphere is everything you would want from a local bar joint. Pool table, Dart boards nice outside patio with heaters. Appetizers were Onions Rings and Cheesy Garlic Bread. The Onion Rings were tempura style fresh made in house...no frozen bag crap here. For my husband they were a hair on the doughy side but they weren't greasy at all which a totally appreciate. The Garlic bread was tasty having a hard Toasted cheese top with the gooey cheese underneath and the flavor was spot on. I'm a dark beer drinker so I went for the MOOSE DROOL if you had to many the moose wouldn't be the only thing drooling . You can't go to a tavern and not try one of the drafts...that would just be wrong. Hubby had the Prime Rib sandwich thought it was tasty with the chimiruri sauce and provolone cheese. I had the Meatloaf melt. It was the bomb. Tons of grilled onions a total mess to eat but so worth it...just make sure to ask for extra napkins. It's a place worth driving to...hang with the locals and have a pint. Be kind to one another

The meals took awhile to get to us (I think their kitchen probably covers more than just Hanna's Table) but it was worth the wait. My BLTA was just as I liked it - crisp bacon, large slices of tomato, creamy avocado and lettuce leaves. A perfect classic with a touch of hipster add-on. Would I drive out of my way to eat here? Probably not, but since it is about 2 blocks from home it would be worth a return visit,
