    We came here because we love local spots. Son is at UNR and we love chicken wings. They claim to…read morehave the best wings in Reno. Gotta say, they are the best I've had in Reno. Had the Cajun dry rub. Awesome. The sampler hit all the right flavors. Mushrooms were amazing. Burger was perfect and fries had a great flavor and coating. The service was persona. We were there at opening and got one on one attention. Waitress was like family and made us really feel at home. Got to meet the cook and she made us feel like family too. Gotta come back for Soul Food Sunday because I KNOW SHE PUTS IT DOWN. The vibe it legit local bar and grill style, but again, super welcoming. They have a back room for larger parties. If you are in town visiting and want a cool expedite show up and enjoy.

After looking over their menu we decided to give it a try. They have a good variety of non-wing items to choose from. I decided on the Awfully Midtown (an homage to the Awful Awful?) It was a LOT of burger with a HUGE side of house made fries. The burger was good and the toppings and the bun were fresh. Melissa, our server, did a most excellent job of matching our preferences to our order. The bar area is unchanged from when I was last there when it was the Gas Lamp. Upscale dive vibe. Would make a return to try some of their other sandwich choices.

    My son got his haircut next door to here and he saw their photo of croffle in the window and asked…read morefor one. We had time since we were just running errands to have a quick bite so we walked in. We were greeted upon entering. It's a cute little space and I looked over and saw two men working very hard and quickly in the kitchen. The gentleman that took our order was friendly enough. I ordered a Korean cheese corn dog with ketchup, mustard and sugar, an order of dumplings, pickled radishes, a plain croffle, and two drinks. That ran us about $24 with tax, it was a very affordable meal. I didn't want to push it and over order. I did want to try their popcorn chicken and wings. I ordered based solely on my cravings today and I was not disappointed. The food was delicious. I loved being able to order pickled radishes, that was a refreshing addition to my meal. I can't wait to come back. My son enjoyed his croffle and asked if when I bring him to get his haircut if we could stop by more often. We are already looking forward to our next meal!

    Sorry late review (2 weeks ago 1/14/26)…read more First time trying this place--such a cute little restaurant with about 4-5 tables. There was only one other couple dining in, and it was their first time as well. The owner was very pleasant, and it seems he and his brother also do the cooking, which gave the place a nice family-run feel. I ordered the 16-piece combo ($30) with two sides, which allowed me to try four different flavors. I went with two of their more popular options--Soy Garlic and Sweet & Spicy--along with K-Soy and Galbi. I really enjoyed the two sides; I chose the potato salad and mandu (dumplings). I definitely want to go back to try their popcorn chicken, popcorn tofu, and the croffle dessert. They also have a cute self-serve station with water, wipes, and utensils, which was a nice touch.

    A quality burger, there's a reason it keeps coming up for locals as the best burger in Reno…read more Be mindful, this isn't fast food. Before you go in, there is signs that says expect a 20 minute wait or more for a burger. If that is an issue for you, this isn't the spot for you. I've gone here a few times. The most recent time with my parents and aunt. I was a bit skeptical taking them to a dive bar for a burger since I wasn't sure how they would react to it. I didn't know until after the meal that they had a whole back section that would have been a lot better of an experience for them. They have a lot of tables and room back there whereas the front is either a bar, one table, or more a a lounge set up. There is also a outdoor area, but it had been a bit windy and sprinkling throughout the day so that isn't an option. I've done the Frenchified burger and the chile burger. Both times i opted for the fries over the chips and feel like I need to try the chips. Burger comes with two patties, a great bun, than the rest is up to you on which you choose. The fries are what I would consider shoe string fries, but maybe slightly thicker. I'm usually not a fan of shoestring fries, but I polished them off easily both times. My parents and aunt are harder to please. They like ingredients that speak for themselves and don't like too much sauces. All 3 of them really enjoyed it and I'm sure they will all be back. They have been looking for a good burger in Reno and I think this was it for them.

    I have been to Bighorn Tavern 2, which meant I was due to Bighorn Traven 1. There are a few…read moredifferences that lie between both locations but for the most part they are the same. 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

They are cut like a chip with properties of a fry and delicious. Toppings go all the way to the edge on the pizza. I don't have a specific combo that is best as we did have some more picky topping eaters. There is an area that has some arcade games which is fun for the kids to play while waiting for the food and even after. It keeps them entertained. The times that we have been there, it has been quite busy but never really felt too loud.

It feels like the kind of place that works best if you're bringing kids, letting them play in the arcade, and making it more of an outing than just grabbing food. That said, the service was pretty slow. Even though it didn't seem very busy, it took around 30-40 minutes to get the food after calling it in, which felt a bit long. The pizza itself reminded me a lot of Shakey's because it use to be one, which was nostalgic and pretty good overall. But for the price, it did taste a little on the cheaper side and wasn't especially exciting. The biggest disappointment was the mojo potatoes. I was looking forward to them, but they came out greasy and tasted like they may have been cooked in older oil, so I didn't really enjoy them. Overall, Boulevard Pizza is decent if you're going for the family/arcade experience, but I probably wouldn't think of it as a great takeout or delivery-style pizza place. The surrounding area also feels a little rough, which may be worth keeping in mind depending on when you go.
