I should probably have more photos considering how often we stop in here, but the food is so good that I never get any! Everyone that works there is so incredibly nice. They are also very fast so this is a good place if you are in a rush. It it cozy and comfortable and a good place to enjoy on a cool morning. The cinnamon rolls are giant and obviously to die for, however if you are not a sweets in the morning person they have plenty of other fantastic options! Their chili fries and grilled ham and cheese were both winners for me! Also of note, I haven't had good zucchini sticks in a long time, theirs are fantastic!

Breakfast Egg and Cheese Burrito with Potatoes

Id probably give a 3.5 but I'll round to 4. It's a nice homey spot for Carson but the food is pretty average. Our most recent visit we sat outside as we had our dog and the staff was very friendly, although a little absent from checking on us. I ordered a burrito and it was good but nothing amazing, my husband got biscuits and gravy and felt the same way. A side cup of fruit was $6 and pretty much just melon.

Very reasonably priced. We ordered biscuits and gravy. Highly recommended the cinnamon roll! It's a sugar bomb but made fresh daily in house. Great brunch spot when walking around downtown in the state capital.

We passed by the other day and decided this morning we would give it a try. It looked like a great mom and pop spot we could make a regular place to go to. Mom & Pops Diner is located in beautiful downtown Carson City. Right across the street from the state legislature building. Walking up to the doorway I saw the menu posted on the wall and we gave it a look over before going in. It looked like they had some great choices. They have what looks like outdoor seating when the weather permits. Because they are dog friendly you can bring your dogs provided they are friendly. Walking in the interior has a beach decor and atmosphere. It is very clean. A little small though. They were having a private party in an adjoining room. So anyone else coming in had to sit in the front part of the restaurant. No one greeted us as we walked in. Until a man came out and said we can sit wherever. Turns out he is the owner. He seemed like a nice guy. He brought our coffee and menus. We gave it a pretty good looking over and I decided on the Southwestern breakfast. Which was scrambled eggs with prime rib green chili tomatoes onion and cheese. You can have hash browns or a sort of home fries. I think they call it Bobs potatoes? I honestly don't remember. Considering the large party that they had our food didn't take too long to arrive. It honestly looked amazing. But as I was eating I just couldn't stop thinking how busy the food was. It was a great idea coming up with this recipe. But it was way too much meat and not seasoned very well if at all. The potatoes however were amazing. I definitely recommend trying it. The coffee was amazing as well. The egg dish is something I wouldn't order again. But that's just my opinion. Not saying it was bad. Just not for me. So next time we go I'll try something different. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend eating here. They only do lunch and breakfast. So if you go on a weekend get there early bcz the kitchen is small and it can take time to get your food. Just a suggestion.

The food was very good but the price for what you get was a little steep. The service was very good. We sat outside as it was a beautiful morning.

Cute place we happened upon on a drive to Carson on Veteran's Day. We were unsure if we wanted breakfast or lunch so this place worked out. They have breakfast and lunch specials Monday-Friday. Breakfast specials stop at 11:00 and then the lunch specials start. It's just two rooms with about 20 tables. Tables can be moved for larger parties. It is decorated in a tropical theme with some little Christmas trees scattered about. My Reuben was good, the bread was toasted perfectly and they serve our favorite type of fried-steak fries!! Hubby's blue cheese burger was cooked a little rarer than he likes but flavors were there. A slight hint of blue cheese that didn't over power. This would be a nice place to eat on a beautiful spring day. They have outside seating when the weather cooperates.

BBQ pulled pork and fries
Inez L.

Service was good. Friendly, timely. Husband and I went in for lunch. I had BBQ pulled pork sandwich with fries and he had Honey Mustard Chicken bowl. Prices were very reasonable. Both my sandwich and fries were very bland. I think if the fries were crispy they may have been better. I liked the BBQ sauce but the meat was dry and not a lot of flavor. The chicken bowl was also okay. Plenty of veggies, rice and chicken, but it didn't taste very honey mustard. Overall very average. Also it was really cold in the room we sat in.

We were heading into Carson City and looked on Yelp for a place to have breakfast. Boy, are we…read moreglad we found the Villa Basque Cafe! Here is what we noticed: - It's a pretty unassuming place...we parked in the side lot and walked around to their main entrance. They even had some specials highlighted as we entered. - Inside there is lots of seating...when we arrived the front of the place was empty, but people were sitting there when we left and we noticed that it is much quieter in that section of the restaurant than in the main dining room. - As others have noted, chorizo is their specialty and it's in many of the dishes. And, it is worth it!...and, not spicy like you might think of chorizo. My wife and I ordered the Quesadilla and the Basque Omelette, and we split both (plus, we took some home too). Each dish was really good in its own right, and being able to have the chorizo prepared two ways was great. Their home fries were really tasty too. - Service was good....very attentive, especially considering that it took us a while to decide what to order given the breadth of the menu. - We paid cash because of their sign indicating that that was preferred. Bottom line: We'd go back to Villa Basque Cafe anytime we're in Carson City...next time, we'd like to try some of their lunch options!

I was near this area and instantly thought of lamb anything. I settled on lamb stew…read more The lamb stew came with some garlic bread. it had some carrots and potatoes in the stew. The lamb meat came from the leg or brisket area, it was fantastic. I thiI like this more than just ordering roast lamb. This will definitely be the go to order instead of ordering roast lamb, but I do need to order it to compare at another date.

Our waitress and the bar staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with recommendations (our first time here). There was a slight mishap with my order, but they bent over backwards to make it right, which was greatly appreciated. The food was amazing. I had a cup of their clam chowder as a starter (I was starving) and it was easily the best chowder I've had outside of San Francisco and Seattle. My main was their French dip. It was piled high with thinly shaved beef and cheese. Would definitely recommend. My wife enjoyed her salmon and eggs Benedict. I tried a bit of it and thought the salmon had fantastic flavor. I definitely recommend enjoying a meal here. We'll definitely be back, though next time we'll know to secure a reservation ahead of time.

We were a group of 8 and while we were waiting on our food I happened to have a clear view of the kitchen. When I watched for a minute I realize the chef had his long hair pulled back in a ponytail, but his beard down to his chest had no covering. It grossed me out so much that every bite I was looking for hair! Then while the food came out and the waitress was serving she accidentally gave a plate of food to the wrong person. When it was discovered the waitress offered the plate to the correct person stating "he only took a couple of bites"! We all sat there in disbelief. The restaurant remade the dish to say the least. The food was tasty but the service was extremely slow. We arrived at 6pm and our food was served at 7pm. Question: would I go back byes, but I would check to see if the cooks were properly protested from hair dropping in my food.

As I walked in I was greeted immediately. I was solo so I asked to sit at the counter. It was empty…read moreso I had my pick of seats. All of the breakfast option looked good but big so I went for a sandwich. It had a fried egg, bacon, lettuce, tomato, jack cheese and green chiles and the tastiest, hot, perfectly seasoned fries. The sandwich was a bit too big to bite so I took off the bread and ate it with my knife and fork. The combination of flavors worked well together, lol hence the name I'm guessing. But the fries were the star. I believe my server was the manager, she was timely taking my order, and I didn't wait long for my food either. The restaurant looked similar to another Pegs in Sparks. Plenty of booths and tables.

The waitress was polite and professional. She quickly served us coffee and took our order. I ordered the Peglet omelette which has jack and cheddar cheese with bacon bits. It came with hash browns and toast. The omelette was a good size, fluffy and with tons of cheese and bacon bits. It was pretty good and I would order it again. This is a good place for breakfast with plenty to choose from and I recommend it.
