    Grandpa brought me here for breakfast while I was helping him with some heavy work. He took me out to a place in town I almost never go to. The only time I ever come out here is to visit my mom, and this place is past a turbo take to get there. It was packed inside when we came in, so this is clearly a popular place! The interior was relatively old fashioned with shelves full of Very old cartons of products and lots of pictures of old art as well. Simple colored walls as well. All of the tables had red and cream diamond pattern table cloths on them which helped add to the old style fashion. The chairs were all pretty standard and good to sit at. I decided to order the New York Steak and Eggs. The eggs were good. Well prepared and tasty too. The hash browns were also pretty good, with nice flavor to them to enjoy! The steak was very tasty. Well cooked, seasoned well, and a very good size too! Overall I was quite pleased with the food here! It was tasty and enjoyable all around! No complaints on my end! Definitely a recommendation from me!

    If you want old fashion comfort breakfast with the fam, this is your spot! I have picky eaters for children and they basically licked their plates. My husband and I gave each other the look "oh yeah, this is the spot". Portions were American big. Price was generously right. Delicious. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're at granny's house. Cozy and the attire is come as you are. Everyone was super sweet. Although they were super busy, still managed to take care of us well. Compliments to the chef.

    This is our go-to place if we want a good meal at an affordable price. The servers here are excellent and always friendly. It has a "home town cafe" kind of feel inside with lot of booths for families of 4, and then tables for bigger parties. The food is always good...great omelets and other breakfast items. They also have a good lunch menu. Portions are always more than enough.

    Woweeee - I was not expecting the large portions or the great brunch from this unassuming diner. We were seated right away on a Sunday at noon. Service was fast and friendly. My coffee was never cold or empty and he food was excellent! Prices are good too. A solid 5 stars!

    10/10! This was the best breakfast I've had in a very long time. Drove all the way from damonte ranch (south Reno) to try this place and it was very worth the drive. Our server was fast and very kind with our menu accommodations! Great prices and super cute on the inside!! Eat everything on my plate will be back again very soon

    Just stopped in to get some food to go. It is 20 minutes before closing time so I just called an order in and picked it up. It was ready in like five minutes. Fairly friendly people, I love the phrase here. So yeah can't say much more lol

    Burnt toast. I could taste it. Gross.

    We've been eating at Hometown for decades, I remember when it was Curt & Al's (the best!). But we won't be spending money there anymore. The last few times we ate there have been borderline, we learned not to get the chocolate chip pancakes because they're so unbelievably sweet, it's nauseating. I can't imagine feeding those to a child. But today we were done. I ordered a sausage mushroom omelet. It actually had slices of cheese on top (see picture). Anyone who knows how to cook well knows you don't use sliced cheese on top of food. You use slices for sandwiches. The inside was so overloaded with mozzarella that after a few minutes the omelet had cooled enough that it became a rubbery mess. Think cold mozzarella sticks. Yuck. The sausage was just cut up links. Not so bad, I guess, except these are rookie cooking mistakes. A chef worth their salt (and training) would never serve an omelet with sliced cheese and cut up links. I'm just sayin'. My home fries were paper thin. Who cuts potatoes that thin? You could excuse it if they were crispy. They weren't. They were half soggy and half burnt, as was my toast. Hubby got the California omelet and he wasn't happy with his either, same cheap sliced cheese. He got a side of fruit and the sliced bananas were black on one side, too ripe. As you're cutting up food to serve, a chef should keep an eye on what they're working with, and if the fruit is overripe, you don't serve it, you toss it, or save it for something like banana bread. You could argue that perhaps the overripe bananas weren't noticed but they were put into the container with the black side down, so it wasn't easily noticed. That tells me it was done on purpose. And it also tells me the cook doesn't actually care what they serve. The rest of the fruit bowl was gross, fruit was all overripe and inedible. It wound up in the trash. The place was busy when we picked up the order, which blows me away. People are happy with this junk? No thanks. From now on we'll stick with Pegs. Goodbye Hometown. We've loved you for a long time. But all good things must come to an end.

    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!!!

    The whole vibe at the J has totally changed from when it was The Sands and this was Mel's Cafe…read more This is now their "Coffee Shop". It has a bit of the retro feel to it and was a nice place for lunch with a friend. I ordered the BLTA with a side of fries. I just had water to drink but there were multiple offerings from boozy to soft drinks and other non-alcoholic choices. Our server was attentive and checked on us throughout. 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,
