$1 Coffee! There, I said it. Yup, it's true... cheapest cup o' Joe in town, and it's good! Another new-to-me find that I'm happy I found. My job recently sent me through Sun Valley many times a day. I saw the building, noticed the 2-story parking garage and the large, well-lit parking lot, and always something interesting on the marquee. So, on a bright Saturday morning that allowed me a day to enjoy sleeping in, I decided I was gonna finally get up to Hobey's for breakfast. I was impressed with the layout of the casino floor; a short straight walk to the Cafe entrance. A warm, inviting acknowledgment at the podium, and I'm seated right away. Within a few minutes, a super-friendly waitress is at my table pointing out their new menu... and the Breakfast Specials. I chose the Bacon Breakfast Sandwich and a Side Order of B&G's; I plan to have leftovers. I made a wise decision. The gravy is your typical cafe-style, white and creamy, but I swear I could taste a little extra Chef Love. A secret ingredient, maybe. My coffee cup was NEVER empty, and I didn't feel rushed to finish my meal. It was a morning well spent. read more

NEW OWNERS STRIKE AGAIN Why would someone spend millions to by an established local treasure that's been serving us perfectly for 35 years & destroy it ?? Start by walking in the doors and immediately have to maneuver through a maze/glut of slots to get anywhere. They removed the smoke cleansing machines & now it smells & looks like an opium den. The foul odor of tobacco now permeates itself right into their dining room. They've moved every booth & table for reasons known only to the thoughtless management. They removed the seniors & youngsters items from the menu, cut the choices by at least by 50% & of course raised the prices. They even removed the recently remodeled bathroom's from the restaurant. Now you have to walk all the way back to the building's entrance to find one. Let's not dare mention the destruction of employee morale and removal of their employment benefits. Perhaps they should concentrate their growth to Las Vegas where people don't know any better or don't care. They have ruined a locally owned business with their corperate greed, lack of thoughtfulness or concern for what the local community, the ones keeping them in business, actually wants.. This is Sun Valley, Nevada not Beverly Hills, California read more

We had a group heading out for an event and met at Hobey's Cafe for breakfast. Even though there were remodeling a section for the Cafe the service was still good, if a little distracting. read more

Went in for a late lunch about 2pm last Friday and few people there. I had the Chicken Fried Steak with mash potatoes and gravy on both. The meal melted in your mouth like butter. My wife had the PhillyCheesesteak , it was HUGE. Both meals were about 12 bucks. This is the best restaurant in the Sparks area. The Breakfast is just as good....waitress was super nice. Will be back. read more

Stopped in since it was taken over by the folks at the Tammarack. Had an amazing dinner. The food was hot and flavorful. Really enjoyed the prime rib. It was cooked to perfection. I noticed the new decor it adds a fresh new look. The service was slow although not busy. We had to ask a few times for the check and boxes to go. Still not giving up on this place. The food made up ten fold. I will recommend this to anyone looking for a good breakfast and dinner spot. read more

Bring back Hobey's original menu that the locals loved. We don't need a similar menu like Bodine's, Tamarack Inn, Sharkey's, and Carson Valley Inn. Did I leave any others out of the hidden chain of menu's? What a shame we lost a great local casino to greed, from the gambling to the dining. read more

Do not go to the cafe, that was the worst food I've ever tried. We got a burger and chilaquiles, old food and seemed like it was there for a long time waiting. Save your money and please go to Alfredo's cafe which is owned by locals and good service. This hobeys cafe was a joke and a waste of money. read more

This is it! My 100th review! Grandpa took me to this place for dinner so I was quite intrigued to try it! One immediate issue that I had was that the restaurant was not tucked away further from the casino, so the smell of cigarette reached into here, and that was unpleasant. However, the service from the multiple waiters was pleasant as they checked on us, took our order quickly, and were all nice and friendly! I got the chicken fried steak! The accompanying veggies were, not good, they didn't taste very good and grandpa said they tasted burnt. The fries were rather bland, with little seasoning or flavor with it. Finally the steak, the steak was pretty good, it was well cooked and flavorful, though I wasn't much of a fan of the taste of the sauce with it, but I just wiped it aside! Overall, I would say the experience was rather mediocre, the service of the servers spoke louder than the food did. The food, while not terrible, is definitely not something I would come back for. If it wasn't for the fact that this was my 100th review, and that my grandfather was with me, nothing about this experience would have been all that enjoyable. read more

The restaurant was clean and inviting. The new owners did a complete renovation. There's a new menu with less options. They took away the Senior menu. That's very disappointing. Our server, Celina, was friendly and attentive. She kept our beverages filled and made sure we were satisfied. I had a Patty Melt with fries. It was very good. The fries were crispy. This was the first time dining here that we smelled a strong cigarette odor. It smelled like someone was smoking at the table next to us. This is a great place for locals. read more

The casino has gotten a huge remodel and is so much better. The only thing is there are no table games, so be prepared for just slots. The cafe is okay, nothing insane. The food is decent, but no wow factor. The steakhouse is very good, try it sometime! Place is clean and the staff are very nice. read more

Great food! The Salmon is great there, the chips and red salsa is good! Some servers are forgetful. They tend to forget to come back after you telling them something ,I needed sour cream for my potato. Lol by the time they come back around, potato ice cold read more

We ate at the coffee shop at hobeys for dinner, and I am so glad we did. My husband ordered a salad, and I ordered the pasta special. It was tortellini with some kind of lemon cream sauce with spinach and shrimp. It was so delicious. This is the sort of dish you order at La Strada or a steak house. This dish was phenomenal. Found out they have a new chef and he is trying new specials out. We'll thank you, because this one is a total winner. I hope they have this one again soon. read more

All in all the food is not bad !! My only problem is why did they take CHILL and FRIED CHICKEN off the menu !!!!!

Hobey's cafe has such amazing and delicious comfort food. It's been a family favorite for years now. The burgers are such a great size and service is always amazing! Never a long wait. The western cheeseburger is one of my faves. read more

Today is the second time my wife and I have eaten in the Coffee Shop since it was remodeled. The first time was actually during the renovation, today's visit after. Both times we noticed that the taste of the food was not the same as we remembered, in particular the pancakes I had and the hash browns my wife had. In addition, most all of the wait staff looked like they were under pressure to hurry through their interactions with customers. The two people that served us barely engaged with any pleasant conversation and gave us the feeling that they couldn't wait to get away from us. I don't know if they're being timed by management now or not but it was a palpable change in demeanor. They weren't UNfriendly but def not engaging. I hope these issues are temporary ( especially the taste issues) but I think we'll take a pause on Hobey's for awhile and maybe come back next year. read more

I don't write reviews, but I'm so tired of such lousy service and products that I'm making an exception. I realize that everyone nowadays wants a review. Well, here it is: First, to place a to go order over the phone you have to pay an 18% TIP IN ADVANCE! Tipping is out of control, but honestly, requiring a tip BEFORE they have done anything is outrageous. Plus, she was such a peach to deal with... Second, the food was disgusting. They have changed the menu and it is terrible. This fish and chips was burnt to a crisp. If I had been at a table I would have refused to be served this and walked out, but because it was to go, they passed completely inedible food off on me. There is no excuse, the "chef" and the server both saw what it looked like. They should be ashamed, but I know they aren't. It's not the same Hobey's. It's not the same food. It's not the same service. I understand they have been bought out by someone else. Well, whoever they are, they are certainly into cheating their customers. "No, you can't have ranch." Another win for "corporate greed." We've been coming here for 35 years. It's a shame that Sun Valley doesn't rate a grocery store or a decent "casino/restaurant". Maybe stop remodeling and put the money into a better customer experience. I'm not just saying this, but I will not return to Hobey's. They have nothing to offer me that would make me give them another dime. They've lost my business. I realize they don't care, but it's the only recourse I have. I've let you know my experience (sadly the last few times have been the same). I know lots of people will still like Hobey's, but I'm giving my honest review. No axe to grind with Hobey's, just sick of such terrible food, service, and greed. There's your tip. read more

This place was alright. It's in the back of a casino. The workers here are nice and friendly. I got the Salmon with mashed potato and veggies. The salmon was alright. Doesn't taste that good. I don't recommend this dish. I don't think I will come back. read more

Reading the past unfavorable reviews leaves me puzzled. Maybe because it was before they went through a remodel. This was my second visit in October, both times on Sundays late morning. Both times service was as good as one can expect. My wife had omelets and I had their biscuits and gravy. Both were great! Coffee was fresh and cups quickly refilled. Definitely will be going back again. We gambled afterwards and machines were clean with maintenance personnel constantly going around and cleaning. read more

A great little casino in Sun Valley. A large variety of Slot machines. This casino has been here for over 32 years. Like all casinos in the area, they have a players club with rewards. The current promotion is to win VIP Suite tickets to the opening day of the Reno Aces. You can earn drawing tickets. This casino is not as large as many in Reno but it has small-town friendliness and is a local favorite. Large parking lot and close parking garage. read more

Nice Mom and Pop style of restaurant. Very affordable, with great service. I enjoyed my hot open sliced turkey with gravy and mashed potato meal very much. My Bride had the liver and onions dinner, which she proclaimed was the best she's ever had! The other couple in our party had one of the daily specials which were three pork chops with sides. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Next time I'm in Sparks I'll be sure to stop in for a great meal at a good price! read more

The cocktail waiter is bad you order a drink he forgets it many times. I tip good there is no reason for this.The drawing on sat. I seen them pull names out and set them aside not even call them Why? I have spent thousands of dollars in there to be treated like shit. This past 3 weeks have been bad in my eye's. There is a lot of Sun Valley people that don't want to come there anymore. When I left last night I threw my card in your garbage because I don't want the evil in mine. I work in management too 40+ hours a week. I go there on weekends to get my friend out and give her money because she is on a fixed income but no more it is not fun. We are the ones paying for your paycheck. Well enough said I rate you as POOR. read more

My wife and I have been eating at Hobey's for over forty years and we understand Tamarack has taken over there. We enjoyed the senior specials especially the shrimp Louie and the hot turkey and hot beef sandwich's from the regular menu. They are all gone. I ordered pancakes last visit and they were dry and didn't taste at all like the ones I've had there for years. The service and staff is still fantastic but Tamarack has ruined the food offerings. We are very sad about this because it was always one of our go to places even though we don't live in the immediate area. read more

Food was mediocre, worst part, they just shut down the restrooms in the restaurant so even if you're handicapped you will need to walk to one end or the other of the casino to use a restroom. My husband could not walk that far. On a positive note, prices on some food choices have come down. read more

Less than impressive. I have been going to Hobeys since I was little. Will not be going back. They couldn't even make a Margarita. Like WTF. Dont get me started on the food and NEW menu. Were did all our favorites go?? Put it back the way it was!! The manager assured us things would get better. I won't be returning. Shame on Hobeys. Smaller menu not so good food and service sucked. The only reason why 2 stars is because my dau loved her chicken tenders. The chicken fried steak. Greasy gravy over salted very small portio. The salad umm NO!! Good luck. read more

My party got seated right away on a Monday night. Kids are offered two coloring activities with a box of crayons. My son loved it and was preoccupied until the food came. I had a vegi sandwich, which was pretty good. The onion rings for $1.50 more we're delicious too. My son got the spaghetti with marinara sauce and he also seemed to like it. Their beef and tortellini soup was also surprisingly good. Food portions are pretty big, especially their burritos. Parking was a breeze too. My only gripe was we had a spaced out server and the place smells like smoke. read more

We ate breakfast here twice during our trip up here in October. Breakfast was 3 eggs, tons of bacon or ham, and hash browns and toast. Service was great and fast. We had fun and won on the slot machines. I'm back in Reno this weekend and we're coming back for breakfast! read more

Price, cleanliness, friendliness, casualness, taste and family-feel, the restaurant is an easy go-to value. Friendly hostess. Great servers. Tasty fare at such great prices. Their daily specials are a steal and come with soup or salad. I chose the bowl of chili and it was chick full of meat chunks and beans. Great flavor, although I added some Tabasco for my preference. I saw a lot of people taking leftovers home. I will go back again! read more

Hobey's Casino - Immaculate ladies restroom! - Casinos Near Me - Sun Valley, Nevada

Came here with some friends for dinner, and the staff were able to seat the 8 of us fairly quickly. Our friends who recently moved to Reno were raving about the burgers so the majority of us ordered burgers. To be quite honest it was alright, just a standard bacon burger. Nothing fancy or extra, a little on the greasier side and over cooked. If your wanting a nice place to gather then yeah this place is great, fairly quiet and clean. Not a Michelin Star, but enough to fill you up and head out for a night. Probably a pass next time I come through Reno. read more

I've lived in Reno for 15 years and have never been to Honeys restaurant before. Last night my husband and I decided to try it. The hostess was very friendly and polite and sat us very quickly. Had a gentle man ask us what we would like to drink right away. Marco was are waiter and ask us if we were ready to order. We ordered the spaghetti with meat sauce and golden fried chicken it comes with a salad. Had time to finish my salad before my meal hit the table!! Awesome work! The food was amazing.Marco was working the bar and the floor. He was very accommodating and made sure we were ok and didn't need any thing. The atmosphere was very pleasant and family friendly!! Will totally be back. We paid are bill and the cashier was friendly and nice! read more

Hobey's Casino - Breakfast NY steak and eggs - Casinos Near Me - Sun Valley, Nevada

Came in recently for a quick dinner with my parents. It had been a long time since I've been to Hobey's, so I hadn't seen the coffee shop renovations. In the past I've always had great experiences here. It's definitely updated and much more open and is well lit, which is pleasant. They weren't busy on a Wednesday night, so we were seated promptly. Our server was very kind and helpful. We all ordered different burgers and they were fairly good. I ordered the Western Burger and it was good, although it definitely needs cheese. The french fries were crispy and delicious. The onion rings however, were lacking severely and quite mushy, so I wouldn't order those again. read more

We visited Hobey's Coffee Shop at 4:00 pm on September 29th for an early dinner. Our waitress, Mary was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The restaurant is bright and clean, and the menu items are varied and reasonably priced. Another exceptional employee was David, who was attentive and SO FRIENDLY. Other restaurants in town should pay attention to what this restaurant does, so much better than the rest. Great employees like Mary and David are surely worth their weight in gold! The steak and shrimp was delicious ( not on the menu- you have to ask), as was the patty melt. This business is definitely a " Must Visit ". read more

We used to go to Hobey's all the time for lunch at the coffee shop. Used to be great at great prices. My wife, son, grandson and others went to dinner in February. My wife hated her patty melt. She said it was gross. We took our son there just last night for a birthday dinner. My son did not care for his patty melt. My western burger was not very good, and my wife....she ordered the 2 piece chicken strips with fries, but wanted 3 pieces of chicken. $5.00 more....they still gave her 2 pieces. We wanted to just pay and get the hell out once and for all. Not going back. And to add.....the chicken, it looks and tastes like breaded frozen tyson strips. Not freshly made like they should be. We have been going to Hobey's since the 90's.....not worth it. I'd rather get burger at McDonald's, and McDonald's is gross !!!!!! And fries were half burnt. You think the cook would notice. We left most of the fries behind from 2 orders. Burger patty looks like a thin patty in the frozen section of Winco. No flavor what so ever either. We've had fish and chips over cooked as well in the past. After multiple disappointments, we are DONE !!! Hobey's has gone down hill badly. Friends said the chicken fried steak they ordered 2 weeks ago tasted like poor quality processed meat, gravy and mixed veggies tasted like it all came from a huge bulk can. read more

How did I miss this place until now? We attended a wine dinner in the Steakhouse and it was wonderful! Marco and Kevin - and the whole staff - took very good care of us. The food, the wine, the company - all delightful! Started with a delicious crab cake. Move on to an amazing blackberry spinach salad - the dressing was to die for - sounds a bit crazy - but it was terrific!! Next was the main - perfectly cooked filet (well, it is a steakhouse) with a bordelaise sauce, yummy potatoes and herb roasted veg. Did I mention the delicious chocolate torte? Each wine paired very nicely. They didn't do baby-pours either - regular pour of each wine, changed glasses after each course - it was everything it should have been. When is the next one? read more
