    Smoked rye old fashioned and Huckleberry lemonade with sprite
    Tammy J.

    Had a couple Great Basin Brewery gift cards from Costco, so my husband & I decided to try their menu out.There was no wait to be seated,the place was not packed and not very busy. Average noice level. This place looks like it would be fun for a group. They have a lot of beer if you like beer. They also have a signature drink menu. I tried the Huckleberry Lemonade with a splash of Sprite instead of the lemon juice. And,also tried there potato skins appetizer with ranch dressing and we decided on there Detroit style pizza called Three Little Pigs. The potato skins were kind of average,the bacon seemed overcooked and didn't really taste like bacon. The pizza was good but I think there was just too much cheese and not enough of the meats. I was a nice evening and we did take the rest of the pizza home.

    Had such a good time at the one in Carson I decided to give this one a go up in Reno and see how it compares. I was eating by myself for this one and got some good service form the waiter, this one was more crowed when I came for lunch so it did take a little longer to get my order in and foods to arrive. I thought the non alcoholic cheery soda was okay, the soup of the day (red pepper) was amazing, and this chicken sandwich bag I've style had a way stronger kick to it.It was so spicy I had to dip it in ranch to finish's it. Overall great experience de at both locations and I would definitely go back to both.

    I admit Great Basin isn't one of my usual spots. I stopped with a friend on a Thursday night to use a gift card and not cook after a long week. First, GB has a great patio that no one was using on a perfect July evening. When we asked to be seated there the hostess said "no problem, after the first person asks others will follow." She was right. We went a couple of items from the happy hour menu and were not disappointed. Calamari fries were served piping hot and tender. The Asian wraps' flavor hit all the notes. Service was good. I love a great patio, and this one was large, comfortable, and offered great shade. But do note if you are there to talk with friends, you are at a very very busy intersection. The traffic noise was loud at times. I would still dine on outside given the choice. There's lots of immediate parking around the building and nearby.

    Haven't been here in forever, and wanted bar food appetizers. It was not at all crowded at 6ish on a Sunday. Husband had the Basin burger and enjoyed it. I had the fried zucchini, the wontons, and raspberry sour. All wonderful!

    Kenzie was our server for a party of 24 and separate checks were provided for our holiday gathering. Everything was perfect. The food was fabulous the venue comfortable for a group and the service exemplary. We would definitely return for another group luncheon.

    One of my favorite local casual restaurants with great pub food and great beers. They are always concocting some fun new recipe at their brewery but I'm still a big fan of bitchin berry and sun smacked. They had a special menu (in addition to their regular menu) in honor of the Reno Rodeo with bbq and chili additions-so good!!

    Came here for dinner with some friends and had a great time. We started off with some appetizers which I thought were good for the most part. The pretzel with the cheese sauce was good and their garlic fries were good. My husband ordered the French dip which was delicious. I tried their Pick Me BBQ platter which was really a disappointment. I ordered the pork belly, ribs, and jalapeño cheddar sausage. It also came with pickled red onions, sliced pickles, and garlic bread. All 3 meats that I ordered were definitely dry and tough. Pork belly especially is supposed to be juicy and tender, and mine I had to cut with knife. I did like the flavoring on them, but I just couldn't enjoy it because it was so dry. I think coming for a burger or sandwich might be better because I did enjoy the French dip better. Service was ok. Didn't really see our waitress until towards the end of the meal.

    We arrived and were told it would be a 25 min wait totally fine our party hadn't arrived yet. 12 min later we were seated the waitress was lovely explaining they ran out of cups (the table next to ours had like 25 people) totally understandable we got our waters in plastic cups no biggie. One of our party members was running late but she still came up and checked on us. Finally we ordered and waited our food came out four in our party ordered burgers, two ordered Ceasar salads including my self and one got the steak the entree of the day. She refilled our drinks promptly dispite the restaurant being busy. We enjoyed our time here quite a lot and would definitely come back!

    Poblano Burger
    John T.

    One of our usual haunts as we like to sit at the bar and eat our meal. Tonight we went with mom as she wanted to share a pizza. It is usually exactly what we ask for, good bar food, good beer and drinks. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Monday night burger and a beer is a good deal. Always a special - just depends on the night. Tonight my burger was well done - ordered medium due to training a new chef. Manager comped the burger and our beers. Very receptive and apologetic and not indicative of the quality of food we usually get. I would recommend Great Basin a thousand times if asked. Always good service, food and beer!!

    Thank you again from the Brentwood Patriots!!

    Large parties? This is the perfect spot for team dinners! From the moment we called to make our reservation, everything was seamless. The seating, service, and overall experience were truly exceptional. We had a group of 50+ people, and the staff handled it effortlessly. We pre assigned our families by their jersey numbers, which made ordering and splitting checks incredibly easy and organized. A huge shout-out to Tyler and Corbin--they were absolutely amazing! Our last family arrived around 5:45 p.m., and by 6:30 p.m., our entire group had received their food. Serving a party that size that quickly is impressive! This level of service speaks volumes about how well this establishment is ran -- from the hostess stand to the servers and the kitchen staff. Everyone worked together to provide an outstanding experience. Exceptional service from start to finish. We highly recommend this restaurant for team dinners, large parties, or any group event!

    Always incredible service, pretzel a MUST, adore the meat platter, especially when I want flavorful ribs! They really care about their beers, here, always something special and new to try! Not to mention their fresh, locally made pasta with spent grains from the brewery for sale!

    Cajun Salmon Salad
    Paige L.

    I've come here a few times to grab lunch since it's super close to my work and I've never been disappointed. The food is always fantastic! I got the Cajun salmon salad and it was delicious! The service was a bit slow to start but was great after we got our drinks. It was extremely loud in there but that place is always busy so I don't expect anything else. They have a great menu selection as well as alcohol selection. Never have a bad experience here!

    Came in for lunch and had a great meal. The green pepper burger was excellent. John was a great server. I tried a new orange pale ale that was really light and crispy. Fast yummy lunch here!

    The added fee is based on the ingredient list. To make beer with an exciting and distinct flavor, we have to purchase ingredients like fruits, specialty hops, and unusual grains or herbs that may have a higher cost. Craft beer is also made in small…

Regarding the food, the menu is notably inconsistent; for instance, the tots--which we generally enjoy when they are actually available--change in preparation method every time we order them. As for the pretzel, while the bread quality, flavor, and accompanying mustard were good, the portion of beer cheese was very stingy and tasted bland. We also ordered the buffalo wings, which, despite having good flavor, had a texture that felt like they were boiled from frozen and only briefly finished on a grill. Our drink experience was similarly average: I found the housemade shandy decent and the Tahoe Blonde enjoyable, while my wife's house Chardonnay was entirely unremarkable. The service throughout the meal was also underwhelming and felt our server was the only one causing king wait times for drinks etc.. While the two young gentlemen at the host station who assisted our waitress in bringing items to the table were pleasant to deal with, the overall quality of service remained unenthusiastic. We keep returning with the hope of a better experience, but it continues to be a 'meh' visit.

Took my buddy here today; a long awaited field trip for him. Thanks for always coming up with new flavors of beers, keeps me coming back and trying more and more and more. So many varieties are for sale, and the more you buy, the more you save. See pictures. Superbowl sale, etc. We sat at a table in the back and when bar seating became available, we moved up front for faster service and more beer, lol. Today we got the following: Reno as F - I always seem to get this, maybe just because it has the name Reno in it, lol. My usual everyday red. My buddy got the following - Tahoe Haze and Emerald Bay IPA; he enjoyed them both. Oh, they also have wine, but who comes to a brewery for wine?!?! See picture. Ambiance - Not many or any changes. Huge warehouse production location. Small "tap room" lounge area. Then the huge warehouse space, "play space" - See pictures of all the games available for us. Two bars, see pictures. Plenty of seating, lounge, table, counter, bar, etc. Free wifi, but I did not use it. Tap room hours from noon or 1pm to 8pm, 9pm, or 10pm. See my picture or Yelp. Decent size parking lot, but the best spaces seem to always be full. Got lucky today, but on all the other visits, I have had to park in the back. BTW, do NOT park in the neighboring lots as you will get towed, see my picture. Service - Counter service, but good and professional. She offered me to try the new flavors, but as a creature of habit, I seem to always go back to my usual beers. Self service water station. Happy hour available, but only from 1-4pm and I am trying to NOT drink so early. Price - $7 to $8 a beer. Expensive, but that is the cost for quality! Owner Comment - Revision, congrats on all your success since 2017. I have been a loyal customer! I even buy your beer from Costco, lol.

    Amazing food and great prices!…read more I have seen this place pop up on my Yelp account many times as I've been searching for places to try. I brought it up to my sister and she also said she had been wanting to go especially since she was told they have gluten free options so we decided to pop in for lunch. We went on a Sunday around 2:45 and it wasn't super busy so we were able to get a table right away. We were immediately brought water and menus. There was the regular menu, happy hour and brunch. Brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday until 3. We both tried the blackberry mule mocktail which was good but tasted quite heavy on the ginger beer. I couldn't decide between the breakfast pizza and poutine fries so I got both. The poutine fries were on the happy hour menu during that time. The breakfast pizza was quite large and fennels meant for at least two people but it was nice and hot and cheesy and I loved the addition of the egg but wish it came with more than one. It also needed a sauce of some kind, ranch or salsa or even hot honey. The poutine fries were delicious! I got it with mushroom gravy and haven't been able to stop thinking about them. I was unable to try the stuffed avocado and Baja bowl that my sisters ordered due to my avocado allergy but she really enjoyed it. The service was prompt and our waitress was really nice.

It was due to the seasoning. However, it was packed with a variety of flavors. It wasn't dry and loose, which is what I have encountered at a few other places. All in all, there was so much in it that it was difficult to evaluate what I was eating, which is a good thing. It means I'll have it again :). It functioned as a whole rather than as separated ingredients to give a complex flavor profile, which I appreciated. The fries were seasoned beautifully. Very savory. I enjoyed them. Cooked wonderfully as well. The tortilla chips in the nachos.. I don't know if they were made there or not, but they gave the impression of being store-bought. The quality was not great. The nachos themselves... plenty of ingredients that you can mix together, but the ingredients weren't like a complete package. They were like a pile of separate things. I expect a well-balanced mixture of ingredients. The layer of queso was below while the avocado was clumped up at the top. The ingredients separately were quite bland. I wouldn't have this again. The brownie was better than a flourless chocolate torte and quite large. I enjoyed it, though I would say that it's not as good as a more standard brownie. I wouldn't have this again.

This visit was a bit of a mixed bag, though. On the plus side, most of our food came out quickly and tasted great as usual. Unfortunately, the two people in our group who ordered the beef stroganoff special had a rough time. Their plates didn't arrive until a good 20 minutes after everyone else had already finished getting food, and when it did show up, it wasn't good -- the egg noodles were badly overcooked to the point of turning to mush, and the sauce tasted like someone had just dumped a can of cream of mushroom soup over everything. Pretty disappointing, especially given the wait. The bright spot of the night was our waitress, Taylor. She was stellar! Very personable, fun, and genuinely apologetic about the delay. It also looked like she was covering bartending duties on top of her tables, and she handled it all without missing a beat. We'll definitely be back -- the food issue felt like an off night rather than the norm but hopefully the kitchen tightens up on the specials.

    We went to Mellow Fellow last night with a few friends before the Reno Aces game. What a…read moreconvenient location. It's literally right across the street from the Reno Aces ballpark. The vibe is open and chill. We grabbed a few drinks and split some food. The portions are very generous. We decided on nachos, a chicken apple salad wrap and crispy Brussels sprouts. The massive wrap was packed with chicken, apple slices, cranberries and fresh lettuce. Seriously, it was better than I expected. The Brussels sprouts were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a hint of a maple glaze. Our server Chelsea was super friendly and served our food in a timely manner. Honestly, Mellow Fellow feels like a hidden gem. If you're in the area, especially around game time, it's worth checking out.

    Mellow Fellow is hands down by far the best burger I have had in Reno so far, and I've tried what…read moreI'd like to think is all of them.... This is a fun little place to hang out in and can be enjoyed on a date, with friends, or even with the kiddos. Service here has always been great, always fast and attentive. Not only are the burgers great but the appetizers are quite the sight, the giant fried pretzel just looks absolutely ridiculous as the center piece to your table. Also weirdly enough the ketchup here, for some reason may be the best ketchup on earth... I can not wait to get some time to run back down to MF, eat some killer food, drink some local beers, and snap a bunch more pics to hopefully get more people enjoying this place.

    Cut and pasted from their website: "Slieve means "A…read moreMountain" in Irish Gaelic, their family roots." Quality/Quantity - Been an extremely long stressful day! So I NEEDED a break from the day to just relax and stop thinking! I gave my wife a few options, a few breweries to choose from (or for me to just go alone, which she would not have let me drink and drive, especially all the way from North Reno). So she/we chose to go to Slieve as I have not been there yet. Actually, all 3 choices were breweries. The good news is that there are more and more new breweries opening. The bad news is that there are more and more good breweries closing, in ALL my hometowns... My first time in a nano brewery; cool. Today I got (and tried the following), all Slieve brands; support local: Oh, I did not know you had a happy hour M-F from 2-5pm; I just missed it by 13 minutes... Should not have spent so much time outside taking pictures for Yelp, lol. Pale Ale - Good, but I prefer more flavor. This is currently my second "go to" beer after reds. Jimbo Porter - Better, but then I tried the Cookie Monster! I also did not taste the coconut. Cookie Monster - My favorite of the beers, so much flavor. And I am NOT usually a sweet beer drinker. It was not an overwhelming stout, probably due to the sweetness, but you can definitely taste the chocolate and slightly coffee and caramel flavors. I would get this again, but it would always have to be my last beer due to the flavors. Beers that I need to come back for when available are: Your reds, IPAs and of course your "Trinity Tripel." Ambiance - On your "about" page on your website, it says you are still looking for a home for your brewery...? Is that accurate or does that page need to be updated? Cool space, indoor and outdoor seating. Bar and table seating. 2 bars, one the back, probably only used for events. Semi private room when you walk in. Ping pong, darts, games, cornhole, cool decor on walls throughout to read, etc. Open 7 days a week, see their website. Yelp's hours/days differ slightly. Event spaces are available; see their website.. Service - Good. We were also greeted by Shannon when she and Phillip came in later for a drink or two... Phillip was too busy drinking to say hi, lol. Price - $8 a beer. The typical cost for good craft beer. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2022 with your nanobrewery; I wish you the best and am glad you own the building to help you weather some "storms."

    This is a neat spot to check out especially now that they are also a distillery! Staff are always…read morefriendly and helpful. Depending on the day/time, they have a food truck. The old building is very open and it's a nice touch that they have some games to play while you're enjoying a brew or bourbon. Occasionally their tap list is a bit limited but in general they have something for just about everyone.
