Pine State Biscuits in Reno has a casual, welcoming vibe with big windows that fill the space with natural light and wood accents that make it feel rustic and relaxed. It is not a huge place, so it can get crowded during peak hours, but it has that easy neighborhood breakfast spot feel. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table, which keeps things straightforward. The staff were friendly and efficient, even with a busy morning crowd. We ordered the Chicken Fried Steak plate, the Blueberry Cornmeal Pancakes, and the McIsley. The chicken fried steak was a letdown since the meat was chewy and stringy, it lacked the crunchy crust you want, and it felt dry instead of juicy. The pancakes, on the other hand, were fluffy with a nice texture from the cornmeal and bursts of sweetness from the blueberries. The McIsley, with fried chicken, pickles, and honey mustard, was the standout, hitting all the right savory and tangy notes. The food overall leaned into hearty comfort, but the steak definitely missed the mark. Will definitely come back and try their other dishes. read more

Pine State is one of my favorite places! I used to go to the Portland State Farmer's Market on Saturdays. Some of my fondest memories from college! Now on to the biscuits... I live in Las Vegas, but I have travelled a good amount to the Reno/Sparks area and love to go to Lake Tahoe. I have gone out of the way and above and beyond for these biscuits. Fortunately my husband is a lover, so not a hard sell. I am not a breakfast, fried chicken, or biscuit girlie, but a simple fried chicken biscuit with honey butter is my #1. Everyone I know loves the Reggie if you're a biscuits and gravy lover. The mimosas and Bloody Mary's are on point as well. I would kill if the owner would open up one in Las Vegas! I've told anyone I know who lives in the area or who is visiting to try this place. It's amazing with friendly staff and in the chill midtown area of Reno. If you're ever looking to expand down to Las Vegas, I promise to share the passion and I have 10+ years of restaurant management experience :) read more

First time at this cool little joint. You walk in an order. They will give you a number tent to place on your table. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside. We ordered two bloody Mary's and the Cinnamon roll with bourbon glaze. However, they offer some AMAZING looking biscuit sandwiches that are loaded to the ceiling! Topped with eggs, cheese, all kinds of different meat options, these sandwiches would be hard for many to even come close to finishing. Our Bloody Mary's were severely lacking flavor. While they came with a nice garnish of cocktail onion, peppers and two half slices of bacon, they were weak on the vodka and low on taste. They would have won me over by just using Zing Zang for their mixer as the blend they used was quite underwhelming and flavorless. This was more disappointing once you see the price per drink! $32.98 for two bland drinks and a fancy donut. Pricey. I'll be back for a trial of the biscuit sandwiches to see how that goes with an updated review for y'all. read more

My husband and I first tried this place in Portland, so we were so happy to see they have a location in Reno. We were excited to try it again and ordered the biscuits and gravy and The Reggie. The food came out hot and quickly after we ordered, which we really appreciated. You're not able to reserve a seat until after you order, which was totally fine with us. There's seating available both inside and outside. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and parking is street parking. We're glad we got to enjoy this spot again in a new city! read more

I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit for pick up and they made it a little ahead of schedule so it was not as warm as I would like it to be, but it was delicious! You can tell their ingredients are high-quality. there was a line outside the door when I stopped by, that's how you know it's good! read more

I always try to make it to Pine Street Biscuit when I'm in the area but haven't been in a couple of years. This time I tried the Shrimp and Grits and the Cinnamon Roll. I remembered the Shrimp and Grits with sausage and less salty but this time it had bits of bacon. Love the Cinnamon roll. It perfectly pairs with the Shrimp and Grits making a sweet salty combination of flavor. The roll was soft both the outer and center layers. The sauce had maple like sweetness. Wish I got the biscuits, too. read more

I had the shrimp & grits, which is full of great flavor. Tidbits of crisp bacon & mushrooms add great texture. My partner had the chicken fried steak with over easy egg. Nice & crispy coating, generous portion, great biscuit. So busy eating that I didn't snap any photos! We'll be back!!! read more

Took a drive up here to try out the biscuits at a friend's recommendation. Place was clean, a little busy around 12:45p on a Sunday. Staff were welcoming and pleasant. Prices were not bad. Self serve water, habanero sauce (def recommend), and utensils. I appreciate the expectation that you will leave your space clean (bus your own table after eating), although they do bring out your food -- (I am being serious about my appreciation of the sign that asks this, it's great!) I ordered the deluxe Reggie Deluxe: 4.2/5 overall - got the mushroom grave - biscuit was tasty, home style - chicken was tender and crispy Overall, pretty good for under $20. Def recommend a stop if you are in the area. read more

This is a tough review to write. We first ate at Pine State Biscuits in Portland and were excited to see an outpost in our new hometown of Reno. The biscuits themselves were good--solid, well-made, and familiar. But the overall experience didn't quite land for us. Biscuits, at least the way I grew up with them, are meant to be cheap, easy, and comforting. My husband and I ordered two biscuits and one coffee, and the total with tip was over $40. They were good, but they weren't $20-each good. At that price point, I'd expect a biscuit to come with a side and a coffee, or at least feel like a complete meal. What made it more frustrating was the lack of flexibility or warmth in the service. I asked for mustard and was told they didn't have any. When I asked for pickles instead, I was told it would be $3 for a couple of slices, which felt unnecessary and a bit nickel-and-dime. My husband genuinely loves this place and would happily go all the time. For me, though, the combination of pricing and customer service makes it hard to enjoy, even though the food itself is good. I wanted to love it--but for now, it's a miss for me. read more

AMAZE BALLS. By far thee best breakfast biscuit I've ever had. The biscuit isn't hard on the outer crust or hard anywhere honestly! It's moist, buttery, and flakey and just oh so good. The bacon was cooked harder than I like but still good. Cheese wasn't melted and that was kind of a bummer but the biscuit itself was so good I didn't even feel like microwaving to melt the cheese. Check Uber eats for deals! I got this as a BOGO because to pay 33$ for 2 of these is utterly ridiculous read more

If you're craving real comfort food, this place absolutely delivers. The biscuits are huge, fluffy, and buttery, and the sausage gravy is rich and flavorful without being overwhelming. Everything we ordered was hearty and satisfying--from the biscuit sandwiches to the hash browns and sides. Portions are generous, so you definitely leave full. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Just a heads-up for first-timers: you order first at the counter before you sit down, but the process is smooth and well-organized. Overall, great food, great vibes, and amazing service. Definitely a must-try brunch spot in Reno--I'll be back! read more

I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The staff truly stood out, they were incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive throughout the visit. They took the time to offer thoughtful recommendations, which made a big difference in my meal. The food itself was excellent. Everything came out fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. You could really taste the quality in every bite. A special shoutout to the staff for suggesting the berry jelly, it was a standout and added a unique, delicious touch. They also recommended the womp sauce, which turned out to be a perfect choice. It was flavorful with just the right amount of kick to elevate the dishes without overpowering them. Overall, a fantastic experience with great food and even better service. I'd definitely come back! read more

Friend received a gift card and offered to treat me to have brunch with them here. It was our first time here for both of us. Before you sit down you order at the register, pay and get a number. You can either make your own meal from choices offered or choose a combination plate from the menu. Drinks are self-serve. Food, not eating utensils, is delivered to your table. Has high prices (black plain coffee is almost $5); adequate food taste. Charged us the menu prices posted. No one here offered to commit fraud to reward us, pay us or compensate us for posting 5 star reviews of this business. Their biscuits, light fluffy and not dry, are worth pointing out are pretty darn good. I particularly enjoyed the mushroom option. You bus your own table. There are no antiseptic or paper towels offered to sanitize the table before or after you use it. Keep that in mind when you sit down at a table. I recommend bringing your own sanitizer and paper towels and first wipe down the table. I rate 'em 3 stars. According to Yelp ratings' definitions, that's "Ok". That to me is an acceptable rating of something that does day in and day out what it is there to do. It's NOT a negative review because doing day in and day out what it is there to do is NOT an easy thing to accomplish. Why are there such a large number of reviews here in the not recommended bin? This business is NOT grateful to Veterans as it has NOT taken the pledge To Leave No Veteran Behind. It has NO Military / Veterans Discount. I say to those who fail to have a Military / Veterans Discount: Like your Freedom? Then have a daily publicly disclosed Military and Veterans Discount because Freedom isn't free. For we Veterans paid not only our price owed for our Freedom, we also paid the price owed for the Freedom by the 94% who have not Served in the U.S. Armed Forces including those who couldn't Serve and those who refused to Serve in America's military. For their Freedom, the 94% who haven't Served in the US Armed Forces owe the 6% who have. George Washington wrote, Nothing is a greater stranger to my breast, or a sin that my soul more abhors, than that black and detestable one, ingratitude. Proverbs 3:27 "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act." Have a daily publicly disclosed Military and Veterans Discount for it is a good to Veterans as it is a thank you and an expression of your gratitude to GIs and we Veterans for it provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 6% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population. A business with no Veterans Discount contributes to why it no surprise why Veterans succumb to suicide at a rate more than 2 1/2 times that of non-Veterans and why Nevada Veterans have succumbed to suicide at a 74% higher rate than rest of nation. Over and over 95% of current and past Military and their families say that they notice when businesses are "Military-Friendly" or "Veteran-Friendly" and that an Active Duty and Veteran Discount is what gives an immediate and positive first impression to any business. That also means 95% of current and past Military Personnel and their families notice when companies are NOT "Military-Friendly" "Veteran-Friendly" and when companies don't have an Active Duty and Veteran Discount and that gives an immediate and negative first impression to any business. I WON'T be back as I don't support any business that doesn't support our GIs or we Veterans. P.S. Don't message me because in spite of my several complaints to yelp, for years now I am unable to open up any messages in yelp to me :-( read more

If you're a biscuit lover, this place is a must-visit! The biscuits were incredibly flaky, buttery, and baked to perfection--light on the inside with just the right golden crisp on the outside. I did a build your own sandwich; it was flavorful and generously filled, making every bite delicious. Friendly service and great quality made for an all-around fantastic experience. read more

Went to try a few menu items and was left a bit disappointed. The option to have sausage gravy or mushroom gravy is nice and both were pretry tasty. I prefer a much more flakey and buttery biscuit, these were a little closer to cakes for me. Reggie Deluxe - pretty good, but the thick slice of chicken was a bit bland and the batter for fried chicken wasn't what I was looking for. Egg and bacon were good. Country Fried Steak - this was alright, kind of a tang and sour flavor to the meat or breading. The biscuit and mushroom gravy was good. Biscuits and Gravy - this also had decent biscuits and good gravy. I would prefer the flakey and buttery style these just fell a little short. Service is quick and friendly, order at the register and then grab a table. They bring out the food, then you self bus. The space is nice and clean. read more

Took my husband here to try since I enjoyed it the first time I came. He ordered the Reggie and I ordered The Moneyball both with the mushroom gravy. His dish was delicious, however, mine came out very cold. It wasn't enjoyable to eat. I was highly disappointed since I typically rave about this place. I mainly ate off my husbands plate. If my meal wasn't so cold I would've gave it a 4 star. read more

What a great find! This was our second time eating here and wasn't disappointed. The restaurant is open and fairly quiet. This is an order at counter then food brought out. The food came out quicker than o got to the table with my coffee. The biscuits have a crunchy bottom with a soft and fluffy inside . The menu has a great assortment but biscuits are the go to. My wife and I split a biscuits and gravy plus an extra biscuit on the side. They have very tasty sausage gravy or mushroom gravy for vegetarian diets. This place gets busy on the weekend but nice and quiet on a Monday. The staff was attentive and pleasant. Great time for a party of four. read more

Came in to put myself in a food coma before the long drive home. When you walk in, menus are at the door and they ask that you first order before heading to a table. I ordered the Money Ball with mushroom gravy and was caught a bit off guard when I was asked if I minded it coming with scrambled egg. I asked if they don't do over easy anymore (as it's stated on the menu) and the girl at the counter said they do... but they prefer not to. I requested to keep the over easy. The house made mango hot sauce packs a ton of heat, so just use a little if you don't want it too spicy! The mushroom gravy is definitely mushroom forward (think cream of mushroom). While I would order it that way again, I'd probably opt to try the sausage gravy first. Biscuits were nice and fluffy- not crazy dense. I also ordered a Bloody Mary, which I went back to the counter to ask for, as the food came first. They quickly got it prepared for me. The Bloody Mary itself was decent. Not on my list of things to order again, as it didn't have much taste outside of horseradish, but the bacon garnish was nice and crisp. Overall I'd rate 3.5 if Yelp would allow. read more

I'm not a person who likes bisquets and gravy very much but I decided to give it a chance. We arrived there at noon and the place was completely empty, the place has a concept of ordering first and they bring your food to the table. As I mentioned before, I'm not a big fan of biscuits so I took a lot to try to decide what I wanted from the menu and in all that moment the lady who was at the register was very patient. The food didn't take long to get to our table and I must accept that the food was very tasty at first it took me a little to get the flavor of the shrimp & grits because it was as if I was eating oatmeal but the shrimp and mushrooms gave it an exquisite flavor. The gravy of the bisquets tasted very good and the pancakes were crunchy from the shore. Even though the atmosphere was very quiet since there were no people it felt very comfortable eating there. read more

We came here while strolling around with out-of-town visitors. We weren't feeling too hungry when we sat at the table, but we all finished everything on the plates. Needless to say, we were very happy with our lunch, and husband was glad that he suggested this place. I had The Club with fried chicken. I absolutely loved the chicken, and the piled high fresh iceberg lettuce. The biscuits, fresh and warm, are just about perfect. The service was friendly, the place is clean and cozy, and I really enjoyed everything. We have to come here more often! read more

Delicious and unique! The chicken sandwich delicious and I added some hot sauce. Made for the perfect sweet , salty and hot combo. Not to mention the pickles and stone ground mustard added a good tangy flavor. My husband got the busts and gravy and said that the gravy was one of the most delicious things he has ever had. The food came out so quick, I think 5 minutes after ordering. The beauty of a small and specialized menu. There are several tables for couples and groups of 4, and some bar seating. This is a busy place and they will not let you sit in a table that is bigger than your amount of people. For instance, 2 people would not be able to sit at a table for four. There are several tables outside, which would be perfect for the warmer months, but I wouldn't recommend it in the colder months. There is only street parking and it is limited. read more

This low key breakfast joint has mastered the art of the chicken breakfast sandwich. If you don't know what a Reggie Deluxe is then you probably should find out soon! The biscuit is top notch and inspired in Portland OR so there is a nice story about the success of this small business. Also, don't skip out on the sausage gravy, and don't dismiss the mushroom gravy! I would also recommend getting a plain biscuit so you can embrace it in its full naked glory! I put on some Doobie Brothers while enjoying my Reggie and a good cup of Joe. A fine wine to begin the beer hopping ... but that is another story. read more

I've always wanted to try this place. I heard they were based out of Portland, Oregon. You walk through the door, grab a menu, then order at the countertop. Next choose your table and they bring your food out to you! I had some difficulty with one of the menu items it says 2 eggs and hash browns $5, but I noticed I was charged $5 each. It's not what the menu says. I would advise the owner to change the entry on the menu. I asked to remove the $5 hash browns. The Reggie was delicious, it's big so my husband and I split it and I had the side of scrambled eggs. The Reggie has a little spicy kick to it, but was good. I asked for a splash of orange juice when I ordered my mimosa but I got the opposite. I would definitely go back and try something else and order the Bloody Mary they looked good. read more

How it works: You grab a menu on your way into the restaurant, order at the register, and they'll give you a number with your order. You can choose where you want to sit and the staff will bring your food to you. Food: The Club (with smoked brisket) with a side of mushroom gravy. The biscuits are made in-house, so they are super fresh and buttery. The biscuit was not dry at all. I can't say the same about the brisket tho. It was not the best brisket I had. It was on the drier and tougher side. I would get this with the fried chicken next thing. The iceberg lettuce and tomato made it taste healthier. The staff was super friendly and the food came out pretty fast. Do come early on the weekend as there tends to be a line out the door. But I guess a good thing about that is that it'll give you time to decide on what you want to order. read more
