    Coconut shrimp basket
    Tamara E.

    Always love this saloon! Today we were there to usher in the Christmas season in properly with the Lacy J Dalton concert. Everyone is always friendly and fun. The bartenders are very nice, helpful, and create wonderful experiences. To eat I had the Asian egg rolls and the coconut shrimp basket. The coconut shrimp was breaded beautifully and were flavorful. The sauce that it was served with complimented the shrimp beautifully. I love eating my fries with tartar sauce (especially when I have fish) but I was super sad that the tartar sauce tonight was pure mayonnaise so sadly my crispy curly fries went untouched. The egg rolls were uneatable. They were burned and flavorless. There is not much more to report on them. I will continue to support the Red Dog and love them dearly but I hope they get their egg rolls figured out and small kinks like the tartar sauce figured out before they become bigger issues.

    Chicken wings: hot and sweet heat

    FOOD - Pizza: We ordered a medium pizza with pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapeños. The pizza was good. Fair amount of toppings and very cheesy. Just how I like it! 4.5/5. - Wings: We ordered 6 wings with a side of carrot sticks. We picked the hot sauce and the sweet heat. The wings were crispy and perfectly cooked. I really liked the sweet heat. The hot sauce was like a buffalo sauce which I'm not a fan of. 4.5/5 - Chicken Tenders: 4 large pieces of chicken over spiral fries. Not the best fries but the tenders were pretty good. 4/5. SERVICE: The staff was friendly and the food came out a reasonable time. We came an hour before closing and they weren't making any sandwiches anymore. I wanted to try the chicken parmesan. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back. Everything was good and the price was fair.

    This was the ideal lunch stop for our family during vacation--with six kids in tow, it can be hard to find a place that works for everyone, but this spot delivered! The menu had all the American classics we were looking for--pizza, chicken tenders, fries, and fresh salad--something for everyone to enjoy. Ordering was simple: just walk up to the window, then help yourself to salad dressings and condiments at the small self-serve bar. The decor gave off fun old-west saloon vibes, adding a unique and nostalgic touch to the experience, while still being completely kid-friendly. Our food came out pretty quickly, and there was plenty of space for the kids to spread out and relax. A great mix of atmosphere, efficiency, and comfort--highly recommend for families passing through!

    Onion rings, Garlic fries
    Reeven S.

    Red Dog Saloon definitely gives off the saloon vibes from both its external and internal decorations. The atmosphere has a chill and pleasant vibe, perfect for lunch hours while visiting Virginia City. The food, though, was mediocre. The garlic fries were not my favorite - very oily and salty. The fries are also very thin, which could easily make it crunchy but the oiliness makes it a bit soggy. The onion rings were also just okay; they definitely can work on a larger portion size. The pizza was decent - the portion size fits the price and is also loaded with toppings, though there really isn't anything too spectacular about the taste. Service was fast. You come in to the restaurant, choose your own table and then order at the cash register.

    yum!

    There were four of us on a girls weekend away, celebrating my sister's birthday! We were staying in Reno but took a trip to Virginia City for the day. I had my eye on Red Dog Saloon for lunch, so that was our first stop. Beverages: They have many choices for beer on tap or no tap. I chose the Cali Squeeze IPA (Blood Orange). To say this was a tasty beer is an understatement! It was so good! It was served chilled in a beer mug and is one of the best beers I've every tasted! Food: To order food, you have to get in line at the kitchen area where all of the food is made. We ordered a large all meat pizza. A server will bring food to your table - we were in awe of how large this pizza is! For the four of us, it was a lot! The pizza was amazing and delicious! One of the best pizzas I've ever had! We also had a garden salad prior to having pizza. The vegetables and dressing were super fresh! Ambiance: The ambiance is festive, lively, exciting, and full of chatter! We were lucky to get a table as they were very busy. The saloon is clean, as well as their restrooms. I definitely recommend this place if you are in the Virginia City area! You will not be disappointed!

    If you are visiting Virginia City I highly recommend to visit the Red Dog Saloon. The food and the service were very good ! It looks like it's a get together spot for locals , that's always a plus . It's a totally relaxed atmosphere. If you want to take home a memorabilia from Virginia City, Red Dog Saloon sells merchandise, the T-shirts are unique

    Food came out hot and it tasted good! I like the vibe of the place and the staff is very nice and polite. Food took awhile but that makes sense with cooking pizza. Overall would coke back.

    Both of these were 13 without tip! Pretty cheap if you ask me.

    Okay, I know this is a high rating for a small bar in VC but everything else single time we've come here we have such a positive experience! The staff are always so nice, they pour heavy and the food is friggin AMAZING! And the best part- they have GLUTEN FREE PIZZA. Their portions are big too! My husband and I got a gf pizza, wings (GET THEM. THEY'RE AMAZING) and a small side salad which filled a huge plastic bowl. The decor in there is super cute and they have a bunch of merch options as well. The only complaint I have is that the food is a little bit on the expensive side but it's good so I guess you're paying for that! Every time we go to VC we stop here to eat. Highly recommend!

    Pepperoni pizza

    We stopped in while visiting the town! Cute little spot. We got a small pizza to share between two people it was plenty of food! Really good pizza & not super expensive! Service was nice as well! Would recommend!

    Is there music planned Friday night Oct 15th, what time ? Yes we've been double vaccinated. Understand 6 ft can't be provided so we will just wear masks ourselves but wondering if staff at least wears masks? Are small dogs allowed on outside patio?

    Outside, no requirement for masks per NS RMA You can’t be 6 feet apart per person most anywhere or capacity would be like 20, sorry but we can’t accommodate your needs.… 

    Is there a hotel?

    Not at the Red Dog, but just down the hill is the Silverland in and suites and just down the road is the Silverqueen. There's also several other choices in Virginia City to stay.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's actually pretty spacious inside. We did have to wait a little bit to get a menu, but once we got one, we ordered our drinks and food. We got the Margherita pizza, and it was SO good! I loved how crispy the crust was. When you picked up a slice, it didn't just flop over. It stayed nice and crispy. It had so much flavor, and I was seriously so happy with it. I also got the Help Wanted drink, and it was really good too. I think I found my new favorite pizza spot! If you're ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'm already planning to go back so I can try more of their pizzas and appetizers!

The quality of the food, and the care that used to go into preparing and presenting it, has completely fallen off a cliff. During my most recent visit this week I noticed that much of the kitchen staff seemed to be different from the team I've seen over the past few years. The pizza was genuinely disappointing. The crust lacked flavor, the toppings were sparse and it felt like something that had been rushed out of the kitchen with little attention to detail. Even the presentation was careless, which was surprising because this restaurant used to take pride in what they served. It's frustrating to see a place that I used to recommend decline this much. I really hope the upper management takes a look at what's happening to the restaurant because the Old Town Tap I used to enjoy no longer seems to exist.

I chose them,not only because they had a decent line,but also I looked them up on Yelp and they had a very solid rating,so for me it was a no-brainer to choose them. The line moved pretty quickly as they were only selling slices,they were $10.00 a slice for either cheese or pepperoni. They also were offering ranch($2.00) or Hot Honey($3.00)-though if you did a 5-10 second Dave Portnoy impression as you're eating the pizza,they would give you one of these for free-too funny!! Various sodas and water were available as well ($6.50-$6.75). We only waited a minute or two for the pizza and it was served just like I like it-molten hot-super greasy-overly cheesy and lots of pepperoni cups....what more can you ask for? We rawdogged the pizza and went without ranch or dressing-it didn't need it-it tasted wonderful and that slice was scarfed down so fast. In closing, if you are ever at an event or concert and you see Left Coast Pizza out there selling their wares, I fully recommend to dive in and grab a slice or two-I'm sure it will hit the spot.
