    Very good burger and beets & burrata appetizer. The cheeseburger was massive, so come hungry and prepared! Cool experience as the venue was once an automotive garage turned restaurant. Service was fast and we enjoyed their recommendations. Fun note, we learned that the owner is a retired chef who wanted to open his own restaurant. It showed as the dishes were delicious, but also shared style.

    The bar, local and stocked with the good stuff.

    Is the term Local Watering Hole really a thing anymore? I have heard it before but I feel it at Reno Bar & Grill. Sure, it is near downtown so tourists are welcome too. But this is a place where locals can come from the South of Reno, Midtown, Verdi, North Valleys or Sparks and find a welcome home feeling with the staff, regulars, family and friends. The owner Shane and the staff make it standard to check in with you, not just how's the food? It is more how have you been and we are glad you are here today. The atmosphere is casual-esque but is elevated at the same time. The lights, tables, and décor all add to the local feel that would be appropriate for a business lunch, happy hour, pre-rodeo warm up or an elegant night out for a special event. If you want to impress your out-of-town visitors with a unique offering that expresses Reno's heritage, this is where to bring them. Almost forgot the food & drinks. The menu was clearly hand selected by a true foodie craftsman that knows flavors and flair. The bar was curated by a couple that could have been auditioning for Lisa Vanderpump. Impressive is the best way to sum up the overall experience. Don't just take my word for it, try it for yourself. Cheers!

    I can't believe it took as almost a full year to try Reno Bar and Grill. Wish we would have came in sooner. Casual atmosphere with an option for out door seating. They also have a bar, high tops and regular height tables as well. Service was very fast and friendly. They time the appetizers to the man course perfectly so you're not eating both at the same time. Ordered the beet and burrata appetizer. It was huge and beautiful! The colors of the ingredients jumped off the plate and tasted just as great. Had the Reno burger as well and my goodness, amazing and generous portion. It came with an eye appealing piece of fried cheese and a delicious sauce. It was messy but I just knife and forked it to solve that issue. Came with hand cut fries and ketchup. Excited to try more items! We were told the owner/chef likes to add new things all the time.

    PoBoy with Shrimp

    So glad I finally had a chance to give this place a try. I had heard so many positive things about the food, that when my regular lunch buddy said 'YES" to my suggestion I felt we were on the right track. We were treated warmly and water and menus were provided right away. Since we like to save room for desert, we decided to split the Shrimp PoBoy with a generous serving of french fries. Our waitress, to save us having to pay extra for splitting the meal, brought us an extra plate to split it ourselves. The sandwich was very good with a nice balance of tomatoes, lettuce, mayo and of course spicy shrimp cooked to perfection. The fries were made from real potatoes and were a lovely salty tasty treat. The space is open and a bit stark, but fairy lights and plants on the wall softened the overall ambiance. The service was friendly and attentive. Definitely worth a return visit.

    This place had been getting great reviews so we needed to make a stop here. My family came for dinner and we were impressed by the huge portions of food. A couple of us got the pork belly burger, but it felt more like a gimmick than actually a great burger. I'd love to see thick cut bacon and used instead of pork belly - it's hard to cook pork belly just right and they missed the mark. My son was thrilled with the macaroni and cheese portion, but I didn't feel like it had a ton of flavor. Service was OK but not overwhelmingly great.

    Delish!!!! We had the chance to sample some of RBG's meatballs at a Yelp event and couldn't wait to try their brick and mortar location in Mid Town. We were NOT disappointed. From my spicy marg to the stuff lamb lollipops and beet burrata salad we were in heaven. Of course we had the meatballs too! Great staff-nice vibe We will be back!

    Waitlist time - actual time 90 minutes.

    Update to last review. Think the waitlist issue still exists, call for a reservation on busy nights. We did end up going back. Sat at a bar table - service was good though bartenders were extremely busy. They are your servers while mixing drinks. Ordered the Reno Rodeo Burger. Sounds delicious though execution a little lacking. Burger cooked perfect, pork belly a little bland as well as cooked just over making it a little tough. The cheese skirt tasted like burnt cheese, ended up taking it off. Friends got the Cajun pasta and jambalaya- both were delicious and huge portions. We will definitely be back to try something different, think the burger was just a one off.

    The food at Reno Bar & Grill was amazing and the service was spot on. The restaurant itself is very nice, with plenty of seating and parking which made everything easy and comfortable. The stuffed lamb was honestly the best I've ever eaten -- absolutely incredible. Just a heads up, the restaurant was pretty cold inside, so bring a jacket. Great experience overall!

    Really delicious comfort food! The chicken skin nachos is a very unique dish. Ice cream made in house! Service was friendly. They offer a slight discount if you pay in cash. Will come back to check out their happy hour!

    Reno Rodeo Burger

    I do say the wings were amazing, crunch and juicy, and our waitress was amazing and funny, but the reason I'm giving this place a 3 star is due to my entree. I don't why, probably was just a bad batch or no one was paying attention when making the burger and fries, but they were overly salted and undercooked. The fries were soggy and had barely crunch. The only thing that was crunchy were the salt rocks. Not the tiny grain kosher salt but salt rocks that were big enough to crunch and break apart in my mouth. The burger wasn't any better. Everything on the burger was just dusted with salt or something because I left feeling dehydrated. I couldn't finish the whole burger and fries due to how salty it was. The cheese, patty, and pork belly, just straight salt. The pork belly was probably the worst, salty and super dry, at that point just substitute the pork belly with a thin crunchy bacon. The onion was absolutely bad. You can probably see in the picture of the onion ring on the burger, but that wasn't fried enough. It doesn't have that nice golden brown color, it's a very light yellow. It was just super soggy and undercooked. Sorry but this was probably the worst burger I've had in my entire life and it cost $24. I'd rather have a Big Mac for half the price.

    I had heard about the burgers here and all I can say is I was not at all prepared for the absolutely delicious monstrosity I received as a vegetarian, I was excited to try the Awful Falafel Burger and was gobsmacked by sheer size of it. The melted cheese skirt around the burger was delightful to pick at and wrap my fries in for a cheesy potato crunch. The falafel patty was perfectly seasoned and the burger sauce balanced the flavors out really well. Had to take half of it home and was still surprised at how heavy my to-go box was. The burger paired nicely with a Modelo, and you have to end the meal with their house made ice cream (we tried the salted caramel butter pecan, my mouth watered as I typed it out). Friend had their lasagna (after researching the menu extensively) and claimed it was 10/10 chefs kiss no one left hungry or disappointed tonight.

    Another good drinks, the Bulletproof Vertebrae.

    Had a great lunch out with my coworkers today. Food and friends is always a good idea. I have heard good things about Reno Bar and Grill and was excited to try it. I was even more excited to find out it's only a couple blocks from my work. The place is cute inside and had plenty of room. It also has a full bar. Service was good and our server was pleasant. I had the chicken Caesar salad and the chicken was cooked perfectly. My friends got the dry rub wings and the Reno burger. They liked theirs as well

    Is this place kid friendly?

    you can bring well behaved kids. Sure. But In my mind its more for adults

    Do they take reservations? Is the phone number listed correct? They don't pick up the phone and there's no voicemail. Also, there's no response to messaging. Is there another way to reach them?

    Try reaching out to them on Instagram. They're very active on that account. They've also only been open about a week. Not sure on reservations.

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!

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.
