We finally made it to their new location in the Carson Plains Casino on Hwy 50. It was so nice to see the same staff and visit with Shannon. Food and service are great as always. Ambiance its nicely nostalgic. The paraphernalia that was under the tabletop glass in the old booths is now framed and on the walls, along with the various signs and artwork. The new place is more spacious, with more tables and booths, which Shannon continues to service with her exuberant charm. They get just as busy (even busier) than at the old location, so anticipate a wait during prime hours. It's worth it. Note to Dick G.: They have prices listed on the menu now, and they are no longer cash only. Come on back. read more

Three for breakfast. Great to see Shannon again. She is the life of the Roadrunner. Service was great. The sausage so tasty, hash browns crispy as they should be, eggs as ordered. The new location in the Carson Plains casino is clean and bright. Comfortable booths and tables. We will be back. read more

Went in for breakfast around 10:30 am and they had no gravy. Did you want to make some more? Not even interested. Besides the Casino they are located in is garbage! We won't be going back! read more

They have excellent burgers. Definitely the best burgers in the area. The customer service is phenomenal. Thank you to Shannon for consistent excellent customer service. read more

Roadrunner Cafe - Hamburger w extra patty - American Near Me - Dayton, Nevada

The new Roadrunner cafe in Dayton Nevada on the loneliest highway 50. Inside the casino Carson Plains. Good parking for the small town, but inside an older casino that smells of smoke. Bathrooms are close to restaurants, seats about 60 or more guests. Sunday had a 30 minute wait. Service was good and friendly. Coffee could be better and food was really good and priced reasonably but a bit high for this area. This restaurant is geared towards conservative politically. TV inside with local channels that was covering news. Clean, fast and friendly atmosphere. read more

Just a little diner in Dayton Nevada on highway 50 but it produces the most delicious breakfasts. The restaurant is open from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. there are half a dozen tables and a counter with chairs. The owner is always there serving breakfast and lunch to her patrons. The coffee is delicious and hot and constantly being refilled in your cup. Today we decided to try the chicken fried steak and the biscuits and gravy. Both platters were overflowing with good food. there are numerous options to choose from and numerous sides to go with plus loads of fresh homemade bread to accompany your meal. The restaurant is clean and very cutely designed as a roadside cafe. You will not leave hungry and the prices are great. I highly recommend you checking this spot out. read more

Roadrunner was clean and the upgrades to the restaurant look nice. Shannon is a wonderful and friendly server. She definitely makes the visit worth the time. Today I ordered the bacon breakfast burrito and substituted fries for the potatoes. The burrito was ok. There was very little bacon and the burrito was overall bland. The burrito was large in size. I was craving fries and so I was sad when most of my fries were extremely undercooked to the point of raw. I have heard that the food is better when one of the guys are cooking instead of the lady that was today so I hope I will experience one of them cooking on my next visit. read more

Last chance I'll give to this chatming local diner. It used to be an awesome place with great breakfast and lunch food. Now the6 don't seem to care much foe quality and God forbid if you're looking for takeout. You're better off getting McDonald's. read more

4.5 Stars Loved the atmosphere here as it is a small diner! Been looking for this type of place as the food is usually more natural. Friend had a Buffalo Chicken Salad. Tasted a piece of his chicken and I would have to say it was amazing! If they have fried chicken like that I'm game. I had a patty melt with cottage cheese. Not sure why yet it seemed to lack flavor. Cannot pinpoint why, it could have been me? Talked to other friends who are local and they really like their food too. They are really attentive to service and I really like the feel and vibe of this place! read more

At the Roadrunner Cafe you will get a quality breakfast or lunch served to you by a friendly staff. Nothing "frou frou", but good food, consistent quality, and large portions priced fairly. read more

Great breakfast! Ordered pancakes and they were huge! And the service was amazing ....

If you have ever been to Dayton NV you know very well the options for lunch are slim to none. Roadrunner Cafe is one of the two non fast food spots in town. It's a small hole in an old strip mall. Pulling in you know it's gonna be a place where you are going to get simple food. No fancy's sauces, no fancy options and nothing "organic" lol. Yes, they are not spotless clean but they are also not filthy. Before even walking in you know what you are going to get inside cleanliness wise. So judging or expecting it to be spotless clean is foolish and honestly dumb imo to rate/judge. Everything is old school diner and honestly if you complain a little too much I'm sure they going to old school kick you out before giving you a discount. I came with a colleague and we both had similar expectations. We wanted someone fresh cooked for us and that's exactly what we got. For the same price as a fast food combo we got a fresh southwest scramble with a coffee. I'll take that 10/10 times over some fast food garbage. I am not in Dayton very often for lunch but I can see myself coming back. read more

Roadrunner Cafe - Southwest Scramble w/ sourdough - American Near Me - Dayton, Nevada

I'll give this a two star rating because the food was good and the service was great. Not sure if Lyon County has a health inspection program, for if they did, this place would fail. Dirty silverware, dirty glasses (complete with fingerprints), nasty ass crusty stuff on the menus. The seats at the booth were covered with crumbs from wiping the tables. The walls, floors and ceiling were no better. As for the bathroom.... The broken toilet seat, overflowing trash can and dirty fixtures all reminded me of a highway rest stop or a homeless camp. If you're planning on eating here, make sure your vaccinations are up to date. read more

Cash only diner. Mediocre food with no prices what so ever on the menu. We waited 40 minutes for our food with a toddler. People that came in after us had their meal and left. They didn't own up to the extremely long wait -- forgetting us. No toasted bread on my sandwich and the biscuits and gravy are from a store bought package. Nothing authentic. There are so many other fantastic breakfast options, we will NOT be back. Terrible experience. read more

This isn't my first time here and I must say I was clearly disappointed with the breakfast and the cook that was coughing all over the food while he was working. Seriously cover your mouth or don't come into work!!!! I couldn't believe the dirty silverware and the bathrooms yuk!! I really try and give local owners a chance but after this i probably won't be back or recommend it! Sorry to the servers they are friendly and nice! read more

Cute local breakfast stop. Great service. Big portions. Eggs and corned beef hash was very good. Nice crispy potatoes and large pieces of rye toast. Biscuits and gravy with eggs and thick sausage yummy. I am ready to go back and try something new. read more

The food was absolutely amazing! Ordered their homemade corn beef hash and finished my whole plate! Definitely recommend this warm environment and great food! read more

Great friendly service. Food is 7/10. It was Monday morning around 11. CASH ONLY! There is an ATM. DOES NOT EXCEPT DEBIT/credit cards. $75 for four plates. Plus the $15 tip and the $3 atm charge plus whatever my bank is gunna charge so over about $100 for four plates. NOT WORTH IT! read more

Food and service is good, which we've never complained but you need to put the prices back on the menu. We did not appreciate not being able to see what they charged us for what we ordered when the bill came and we were with another couple and we couldn't know how to split the bill at the table for each order. If there was an error, we wouldn't know it. We were disappointed on the excuse they used for why they didn't have prices on their menu. We will probably not return unless they put prices on your menu or at least itemize what they charged us for on the bill. Don't be lazy you're dealing with customers that pay your salary. read more

Great place for a meal. Breakfast was awesome. Best hash browns I've had in a long time and my eggs were perfect and good OJ! Our waitress was so sweet and very efficient. We'll be back! read more

Not very welcoming. Biscuits & gravy bland & not memorable. I felt like a stranger in a strange land. Not going back.

The food is really good and the service is excellent, but the place is digusting. The ambiance is horrible here. The Flys are everywhere and the silverware is dirty and there is a broken toilet seat in the bathroom. I could not sit in one booth since of how much Flies there were. Just go to the donut shop down the street please instead of this read more

Chicken fried steak and eggs... on point, might be the best I ever had. Biscuits and gravy... daughter was in heaven. read more

Wonderful food. Small hole in the wall diner. Go to lunch with girlfriends. Wonderful service.

I ate here yesterday morning and got the eggs Benedict. I started the day off feeling fine until I ate here. Now I'm sick with food poisoning. Absolutely would discourage anyone from eating here with the unsanitary conditions. Listen to others when they say it's filthy. read more

Haven't been to the Roadrunner in years. Thought we'd give it a try again. Very disappointing. Start with the menu having no prices, perfect for inflation, not great if you are trying to decide to eat there. Took forever for the waitress to take our order. My husband's meal came first, and the after a few minutes mine. Mine did not come with the bacon I ordered. The waitress never came back to our table and had a lovely time chatting with the other tables. Finally got up and asked for the bacon. By the time it came out my husband had finished his meal, mine was cold. Two stars for the hash and eggs, which my husband liked, otherwise a zero! So if you like guessing what you'll pay, like waiting and getting an incomplete food order at a place that wasn't even busy, Roadrunner is for you! read more

This Cafe is the best. Great food, great service. I love how the staff welcomes you when you come in. They true treat you as family. They are always up beat and happy. Love the energy. Thank You Roadrunner Staff. We love you guys and will see you Saturday. Teresa and Bryon read more

I've driven past the restaurant several hundred times without noticing it, but my wife and I had lunch here today and had a wonderful meal. Our waitress (Shannon) added to our enjoyment. She couldn't have been more attentive and had a terrific personality. Patty Melt for me and the Classic Ruben for my wife. Both were really good along with the beer battered onion rings. It's truly a spot where locals go for breakfast and lunch. It's not fancy.....just the way we like it. Loved the "Beware of Attack Waitress" sign. We'll plan to arrive earlier next time and do breakfast. The place has character. read more

Simple, hole in the wall spot with great food. The service was fantastic, the wait staff is very friendly! We both had the Comstock Omelette and it was filled with fresh ingredients. Even their sourdough toast was awesome! Minus one star because the place could be a bit cleaner. Would definitely go again if in the area! read more

Great little breakfast place. The staff is friendly, food is quick, the atmosphere is perfect small country. I'm a fan!

Out exploring we decided it was time to have a little breakfast and we found this place with good reviews and sure glad we did. Great service and food looked like a nice local spot was pretty busy but we were able to get a seat and served pretty quick. They are definitely efficient handling a packed house. I ordered a fabulous omelet that came with hash browns or country potatoes and toast and it was delicious and really hit the spot after our little hike earlier. Check them out if your coming through town. read more

The food was good however the cafe is filthy dirty. The floors are gross, windows dirty, dusty, crusty and unacceptable.

We love the Roadrunner Cafe. It's great for Breakfast and Lunch. The staff is always friendly. The only con is the seating (which is the reason for only 4 stars). Sometimes it gets a bit tight and sometimes the table next too you pushes their booth back which causes your booth seating to get pushed right up against the table. If you go I recommend sitting at a table with Chairs, a corner booth, bar or outside if it's busy. read more

Really good " home fries" for breakfast, they taste so good and I really love going there to eat them, they have so much flavor you don't even have to dip them, I really like to eat here but can be really speedy read more

The restaurant has great food, and helpful, friendly staff. It's an upbeat place and fun to talk and enjoy each other's company. They support law enforcement, first responders and military... One of, if not the best places to eat breakfast or lunch in town. read more
