The Ghost Fried chicken, the Santa Fe stacked enchiladas, and the Pork Carnitas meal were all very tasty and served piping hot. Our server was friendly and professional.

Just how many and she walked over to a table and put down menus and walked away. Our server was really nice and even though it was crowded she was really sweet and professional. The selections are really sandwiches and burgers. My husband doesn't like either so he had to settle for chicken wings and fries. I ordered the veggie sandwich. I wish they would have toasted the bread, it would have made it easier to eat. The restrooms were clean and the prices fair

I recently visited this adorable coffee shop on one of my visits to Virginia City, NV. I'm not…read morea regular coffee drinker, but I was looking to get my iced brew fix and there aren't many options in town. You have to drive into Reno or Carson City to hit up a Starbucks or comparable coffee place. I heard from locals about The Roasting House. I saw pics of celebrities like Terrance Howard and Jeremy Renner sitting on the quaint little bar stools inside. Roasting House has officially entered the coffee chat room! On my first visit, I saw that the Iced Brew special was Carrot Cake. Um? Only my favorite cake! I had the best timing and hit the jackpot! Of course that's what I ordered. It was delicious! The decor is absolutely adorable. It's like a beautiful Victorian feel to it. It has beautiful furniture, pictures on the wall, and they have coffee, jewelry for sale and other items. Additionally, they roast their coffee beans on-site with a large vintage roasting machine towards the back of the shop. The place definitely has an elegant, antique-like ambience that fits perfectly with VC. They also serve various baked goods, bagel sandwiches and other breakfast items. You will have a great start to your day by coming here first. Service is impeccable and the staff is super friendly. As you go towards the rear of the shop, there is a beautiful patio that overlooks Virginia city and the streets below C Street. It's a perfect place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast item. It's very peaceful with beautiful scenery and they've added some rustic patio furniture. I've been back a couple times and the prices are really good. I'm from the Bay Area and compared to where I'm from the prices are more than reasonable for coffee. This is a place not to be missed when you visit Virginia City!

Is it worth the ride from Reno for a cup of coffee?…read more Subjective to the individual. But, if you like to ride, and enjoy the routes up to Virginia City, the Roasting House is an excellent place to stop for an alternate beverage than what is commonly sold up here. The service is quick and friendly, the vibe is laid back. Rustic decor with always the seasonal addition! With the trip for me! Support an excellent local business.

Also had sandwiches and apps. We had the garlic, cheese fries and a meat pizza. Both were good. The staff were very kind and food came out fairly quick. They have live music at different times and looks like it would be a fun place to hang out and listen. Ate the pizza and didn't a picture but it was good!!!

Quality/Quantity - We take all our guests here for a taste of Virginia Jerky…read more A huge selection of beef jerky; even my daughters like the jerky from here. Amazingly, we have not had the time to try the smokehouse part of the business, but look forward to it in the future. In the past, you have been so busy, there were no tables available. Ambiance - Small local business. Plenty of street parking. Open 6 days a week from 11am to 3pm or 4pm; closed on Tuesdays. Service - Good. Price - Expensive (jerky), but that is the cost for quality. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1999 and at this location since 2003.

The sandwich came on a round roll that was super fluffy with a pile of delicious pork with a tasty sauce. They have more sauce choices on the tables outside. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. The staff are all super nice. We switched tables because it was getting hot in the sun and I left my purse on the chair. It's nice to know that people sat at the table we moved from and no one ever touched it. It was right where I left it when I discovered it was missing. If you're in Virginia City take the stroll down to the end of the boardwalk and have a nice lunch, you won't be disappointed. You can smell the goodness a mile away!!

The service was great and the remodeling of the restaurant into the steakhouse turned out really nice. They do table side salads, entrees and desserts. We chose to order a standard meal. I would like to give this place another chance in the near future. Maybe it was an off night.

We went as a group of 20 for their prix fix New Years Eve dinner. The food was good but not great…read more The amuse bouche was very good. The 1st course was a choice of the foie gras (good but had an inordinate amount of fig jam on top) or escargot (very good). The second course was French onion soup or Niçoise salad. Both were very good. The third course was a choice of poached sole with hollandaise (the hollandaise was extremely spicy and way over powered the delicate sole. The sole was cooked until it was mushy) or roasted chicken in brown sauce (some were very good and others were dry and overcooked). The fourth course was roasted marrow bones with golden raisins and brie with lingonberry. Good but very rich. The fifth course was beef bourguinon that was excellent. For dessert we had crepe Suzette's that were okay but very sweet and paired with an extremely sweet ice wine. Too much sweet on sweet. Some hot bread and butter, others didn't. Same with water, some glasses were empty and never filled. Overall it was way too much food for me. It said $150 all inclusive so we assumed that meant tax and tip was included. We were wrong. When we got the bill they added tax and 20% gratuity. Then on top of that they charged 3% for paying with a credit card. It ended up being a $400 dinner. That was more than we anticipated in Virginia City. Additionally, apparently they ran out of one of the wines and some people were offered a different one and then got charged $20/glass for it. All in all, it was fun (more because of the company than the experience), the food was mostly good and the atmosphere was nice and service was okay. I felt bad for other couples trying to have a romantic NYE dinner and having to sit next to a group of 20. We'll choose a different location next year.

The good: the meatloaf dinner, chicken dinner, and the wedge salad were all very good…read more The disappointing part was that the beet salad was hard as a rock and nothing like the version we enjoyed when we dined there in 2025. The lobster bisque was bland and only served lukewarm. To top it off, the dessert we were looking forward to most -- the chocolate Bundt cake -- was unavailable. Overall, a mixed experience compared to our previous visit.

Gayle and I shared some confusion today as we enjoyed a nice lunch at what was either The Canvas…read moreCafe or The Cider House at Canvas Cafe. We think there may have been some recent movements by the owners, and for the purposes of this review, I'll go with this Yelp entry the matches the pictures to what we experienced. Today was a quiet post-New Years day and Gayle wanted to dine someplace besides the Red Dog Saloon (our "usual"). The Canvas Cafe (or whatever it's called now) was just a block or so down C street and open. The dining room was small, cute, inviting, and warm. It was also a "one man show" today as one guy was working both the kitchen and the dining room (and very well). I especially appreciate a really busy guy who maintained a relatively high service level, with a smile and a generous side of patience. We all ordered sandwiches, including French Dip for Gayle, Smash Burger for Darling Granddaughter, and a grilled Chicken Pesto for me. Everything was delicious, with my only regret being that I should have ordered the impressive side salad that Gayle chose. A small bag of chips really didn't do the sandwich justice. I would have also preferred a beer, but there was no alcohol served today, and my bottomless glass of lemonade was more than just fine. Gayle and I agreed that we'd love to come back in whatever main place or annex. It's a fair drive back to Genoa from VC, and we were happy to head down the hill full and happy.
