Came in for a late lunch....110PM.. they close at 2PM. Seated Immediately Order Placed: 121PM Appetizer Out 130PM First Dish Out 132PM Very homey feeling. Decor has a artsy feeling. The Fried Zucchini was really good... lightly breaded then deep fried. Very generous portion. Warning when it comes out, its very hot so give it a few minutes to cool down. 2 containers of Ranch Dressing is included. The Prime Rib Philly Cheese Steak sandwich is good... the Prime Rib is tender, but since its thinly sliced, cannot tell if its really juicy. The grilled onions and peppers gave it some crunch and sweetness. Love the salad, but if you are going to get the Fried Zucchini, you might not want to get Ranch for the dressing... I would go with Thousand Island (would go well with the Zucchini) The Men's restroom is clean and well stock. read more

Stopped by this diner for a quick lunch. Nice surfish decor. Waitress was running her tail off during the lunch rush. They were definitely understaffed for the rush. I ordered the bleu cheeseburger. Quite nice, the burger was not overcooked but a perfect medium rare. The accompaniment that I had were fries, I forgot to request the fries to be overcooked, I like the crunch. All and all it's just a burger, nothing special but executed quite well. read more

The location of this diner is great in the Capital of NV. Outdoor seating is a bonus on a warm day. Food was just okay. The weekday specials they do permit you to order on weekends , we got a grilled cheese with tomato and bacon, this is not your amazing grilled cheese with oozing gooey cheese it's two slices of American cheese slapped on bread and grilled. Very minimal cheese. Fries are typical nothing over the top. The cinnamon roll they boast on signage is huge and covered in sweet frosting. Unfortunately I found ours to be quite dry inside and would say it was a day old reheat, and definitely not prepared that morning. Overall just ok food but good location and super friendly staff. read more

Mom and Pops is a great staple place for food, the staff and cafe itself are great. If you haven't been you've got to try it!

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! read more

Mom & Pop's Diner - Diners Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

A couple of the servers aren't friendly, especially the person who was seating people today, every time I've come to try to give this place a chance it has a 30+ minute wait and unfriendly staff. Disappointing to be greeted in an unfriendly way. read more

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. read more

Mom & Pop's Diner - Breakfast Egg and Cheese Burrito with Potatoes - Diners Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

I have been coming here for many years but recently I had the pleasure of showing this Carson establishment to my wife. Since then, we have spent more time here enjoying their warm kitchen in this cold winter. It is a cute shop with nice people working there which adds to the enjoyment of it all. My wife of course had to try their famous, and giant, cinnamon rolls which we split and still had enough to take some home. Always an enjoyable treat. All of their food offerings are great. A couple of my favorites are their club sandwiches and their biscuits and gravy. And my sister would not let me live it down if I didn't mention how delicious their French fries are. Mom & Pops has something for everyone, and everyone will be happy and full. It is a cute shop with nice people working there. read more

I've lived in Carson for 15 yrs and didn't know about Mom and Pops until today! I and 4 others loved the food!!!! I'll be back at least once a week!!!! I'm so happy to find a great breakfast !!!! I can't say enough about their food! And plenty of it!!!! See u next week...maybe tomorrow? Thanks to everyone working there!!!! read more

Fun environment and delicious food. I bring all of my out-of-town visitors here for breakfast!

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. read more

Mom & Pop's Diner - Cinnamon Roll - Diners Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

You can never go wrong at Mom&Pops. I love sitting outside when the weather is good, but in the winter it's cozy and warm. It's got a quirky funky vibe with the decor. Breakfast/brunch portions are always big. Try the cinnamon roll!! Prices are good and service is friendly read more

Change your silverware! The food is delicious but you gotta change that. It's so bad!

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. read more

Mom & Pop's Diner - 1/2 Biscuits & Gravy, Egg, and Bacon with a side of Pops Potatoes - Diners Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

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. read more

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. read more

My favorite breakfast joint in CC. Why? Because you can get lunch anytime. I do really love the single pancake with 1 sausage. Just about Perfect for my appetite. But my favorite is the prime rib French dip. Not the fancy one with cheese and veggies, but the straight up plain one. I can't get through a half on my own so I usually drag it home with the side salad and eat on it for a couple days. Not bad for $12 and change. Super nice people. I like the outdoor seating, good attentive service and a fun old building read more

Excellent service and great food!! Have tried them for both lunch and dinner! Breakfast was great the other day!

Met "Pops" Jr and he was such a friendly and hospitable man. Definitely gives you the mom & pops diner feel the moment you walk in. Food was amazing! Went during lunchtime but breakfast is served all day so I had to try the french toast! Also, the cinnamon roll is MASSIVE but it is a must try! read more

What a pleasant place to eat brunch today! The weather was perfect in the shade and it was fun to people watch from the outdoor patio. Everything we ordered came out delicious. I had a Philly cheesesteak made with prime rib and my lovely wife had her favorite French toast. The restaurant is dog friendly and although we don't have a dog, the ones in attendance today were well behaved. The only thing that was off was not the fault of the restaurant but the one directly across the walking street, Firken Fox? Anyway there was a chain smoker out side and occasionally when the breeze went the wrong way we were treated to that disgusting smell. Otherwise the service at this restaurant was great and they left us wanting for nothing. read more

Great service, large gut popping portions. 4 egg omelette was way over cooked with egg hard as a softball. Didn't have spinach or pepper, and the sausage was cooked in round circles instead of broken up so every bite get a sausage. Hash browns wasn't crispy as I asked. Could do better read more

Excellent !! My wife & I had breakfast. The restaurant reminded us of dining in So CA, Las Vegas or the Bay area. Indoor/Outdoor dining, relaxed atmosphere, good food & great service. Thank you, Mitchell. read more

Good service all good. Loved the atmosphere Prices a little high But service was excellent. Bloody Mary's were spicy read more

Went there for lunch with a couple friends 2 days. It's in an old building. Inside was decorated in a Hawaiian theme. Small place but nice. We were advised by the server that she was the only server working but she would try her best to get everyone served in the restaurant. Well she did way better than other restaurants with a bunch of servers. The service in my mind was excellent. We didn't wait long for our food and she kept our drinks full while we waited. I ordered the eggs Benedict. It was cooked good. Maybe the eggs were just a tad bit undercooked but still edible. There was enough hollandaise sauce for the whole meal. I also opted for the pops potatoes. I guess the pops potatoes is made in house as opposed to the hash browns. It tasted like they sprinkled a little sugar on the potatoes. Kind of weird. Potatoes are already sort of bad for you. But then you add sugar? Oh well it tasted ok. I also ordered a cinnamon roll to go. That thing was huge and it tasted good. I had to warm it in the microwave. It was soft and had plenty of frosting. All in all, I'd come back and try something different. I liked this place. read more

Great environment and great food. Reasonable price and a cute location to sit outside

Very average place. Had one of the burgers seemed amateurish. Server was complaining about how busy it was. Not very friendly and welcoming for sure. Wouldn't eat here again to many places that appreciate your business. read more

Great diner! Delicious food and large portions. Great service. Would come here again.

My wife and I stopped in this morning while passing through. We were returning from our weekend in Lake Tahoe on our way back to Medford, Oregon. We were craving breakfast and found this cool little spot on the Yelp app. We were a little leery as some of the reviews were not very good. The restaurant currently has outdoor and indoor dining. We decided to dine inside. We were quickly greeted by the hostess and escorted to our table. Our waitress was out to us almost immediately with complimentary water. She returned rather quickly to take our order. The food was out at a very reasonable time. The chorizo omelet was delicious. The overall service and dining experience was very pleasant. We truly enjoyed our meal and were very glad we stopped by for a little breakfast!! read more

Not bad. Not great. I was very happy with my breakfast scramble with chorizo, onions and Ortega chilis, but neither of my companions enjoyed their meals. Service was meh. And the ambiance was not impressive. Too crowded and could seriously use a remodel. read more

Was looking for a place to have a very late breakfast when we came upon Mom & Pop's Diner, and we're glad we did. They greeted us with a smile when we came in. We decided to find a table outside since it was such a warm and pleasant afternoon. Our server was right there within a minute of sitting down and continued with prompt and courteous service for the rest of our time there. The food came a lot faster than we expected considering the number of people there. The omelet I ordered was really filling, more food than I could think about finishing. The coffee though was a bit weak and not the best I've had at a diner, but hey, the entire experience was far better than we expected. This is truly a mom and pop enterprise. Will certainly come back the next time we head over to Carson City. read more

Loved my experience! Also keep in mind that this place is very busy and I went on a Sunday at 11am. I read the Yelp reviews before taking the chance and visiting this place, so I was aware that it may take 30 minutes- 1 hour to be seated plus another wait for your food to come out. My party was in no rush and we rather wait for good food. At $90 after tip and tax for a party of 4 is a really good price and all of our portions were heavy! We all left satisfied and full. Our food consisted of hash browns, potatoes, biscuit and gravy, pancakes, French toast, sausage, bacon, eggs, and omelette. We had 2 orders of the hungry man, omelette, and an order of toast with eggs and stuff. Everything was good. I've never really experienced bad eggs, bacon, and sausage, but I am picky with my pancakes, and biscuit and gravy. Both of which I absolutely approve of and would most definitely come back to get again when I'm in town. Bathrooms are super cute and clean. I like the bathroom decor more than the restaurant itself. read more

Please be aware, the wait is a bit lengthy when ordering, but the food is delicious! Upon arrival, the staff were kind and helpful. The menu has a little bit of everything so you're bound to find something you'll like. The wait... again... was lengthy! But it says right on the front of the menu that you'll have a while to wait so it's pretty fair. The food was absolutely worth the wait! It was delicious and filling and my husband, sons, and I all left happy. We look forward to returning! read more

My wife and I can always count on a very nice lunch at Mom and Pop's. We have never been disappointed here over the past 9 years. We find the prices very reasonable, they have something for everybody, a very complete menu. There are many places to eat breakfast and lunch in Carson City, but we never have the desire to go anywhere else, we find great food at reasonable prices here. P.S. The sweet fries are the best we have eaten, anywhere! read more

Food and service stinks. Quite disappointing. Especially since it once was a good place to eat.

Excellent breakfast and excellent service. And now, I go there weekly. The cinnamon roll french toast is so, so good.

Nice people, plenty of outdoor seating with shade, decent food. The breakfast menu is pretty extensive. read more
