I like SG for 2 reasons: 1. Happy hour, which lasts forever (till 8? Vs 6 at other places). All drinks are 1/2 off. Someone below said that happy hour is crappy and there are better in town. But they didn't even give one name. Well, put up or shut up. Where are those places? Mind you, it's not a challenge. If there are better happy hour places I would like to know. 2. The decor - it is VERY nice looking place for a sports bar. Other establishments like bully's, sparky's, and other crappy's look sad and underwhelming. Not even mentioning the cleanness. The difference here is that I would bring my kid here. Another thing I would like to bring up is the smoking section on the other side of the bar. What a great idea! I hate cigarette smoke and it's good that smokers have their den. This way others don't have to walk through a cloud of smoke to get inside. Thank you read more

Service was really good, but the food was average bar food at best. Tasted like chain food bordering on bus station food. Maybe it's because I am not drinking with the food that makes it just ok. Food looks good, but does not have what I was looking for. Just not feeling it tonight. Enjoyed the friends and chatting as it is not too noisy. The waitresses are clad in leather vests and bare midriffs, which is good for most, but some may want to opt for a different atmosphere depending on the occasion. read more

Sierra Gold - Kindrick Sandwich - New American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

From Boston. Staying at the new hotel up the street. Thought we found a great bar last week cause when we went in, a polite lady at the bar told us the non smoking side of the bar was out the door and to the right.. Place looked like fun....so we decided to have a drink It was five or so but the bar turned into f*** this and c** that. Angry uniformed local guys at the other end, not saying trash here but... Don't go here on a date. read more

A casual yet stylish restaurant in a more "suburban" area of Reno, Nv. It labels itself as a "Nevada style Tavern" and upon entering, you immediately feel the concept. Dark but soft lighting, dark wood trussed ceilings, a large central bar with gaming (video poker), a small billiards area, restaurant area and a comfy lounging area equip with fireplace, couches and tv's mounted in custom cabinets. Black/white vintage photos of old west Nevada adorn the walls. A very nice and upscale feel overall. I' ve been here to unwind after a days on the slopes from neighboring Mt. Rose Ski Resort and i've sat on their outdoors patio after a round of golf, and always i've had a good time. They serve both traditional tavern fare as well as more contemporary offerings. I've tried many things here on several visits but still have yet to actually eat dinner and order an entree. Previous visits had been more of a sharing and sampling nature. The contemporary offerings are the way to go here, as the traditional fare (wings, popcorn shrimp) are nicely executed, but pales in comparison next to seared ahi tuna and chicken satay skewers. A build your own burger is also good with over 20 items you can stack. Watch out as i recommend a max of 3 items as it allows 1) easier eating & 2)not costing $18 for a burger. i did bacon, blue cheese and onion rings and was i stuffed. A full bar with special drink/martini menu makes for easy ordering. The service is always very friendly. Hang out with friends and this place is a gem in the high Sierra desert. Jack Pot. Figuratively and literally if you play and get lucky. Good Luck! read more

Alright, I will add another star for this place for one server in particular. I do LOVE the two happy hour at this place, 1/2 price beer and pizza = awesomness! We arrived around 6pm two weeks ago and the place was a little slow. We only waited about a minute or so before a waitress (Michelle) came out of nowhere and sat us down, we requested outside sitting after she sat us due to the nice weather. There being 5 of us, we were intending on ordering A LOT of beer and many pizzas. So from my previous experience I was not holding my breath for anything but I was caught off guard for the following reasons: 1) we only waited about 2 minutes before our server returned and took our first order for drinks; 2) waited only 5 minutes before she returned, beers in hand, then took the food order; 3) waited about 15 minutes for the pizzas, and subsequent second round of beers order; 4) waiting even less time for her to return with that! Now, why this is so impressive to me and why I added the star for the server is that I found out that, she wasn't ever supposed to be serving the outside area! But not only did she serve us, she waited almost hand and foot! Needless to say she obtained a sizable tip. I really hope that the other servers look and start to behave as this one does. The lot of them could really use some lessons. read more

This place use to be awesome for breakfast but they must have changed cooks or something because now their eggs are actually gross. How do u mess up eggs? Their over cooked. Nothing like burnt eggs! This time I ordered my usual scrambled eggs and was brought an omelet. I sent it back for scrambled. Guess what they did... Opened the inlet, smashed it a little and brought it right back to the table and gave me the same food. My husband ordered corn beef hash and was brought a plate of corn beef with no hash browns in it. Plus it was greasy! read more

I've been a regular at Sierra Gold in the past, but my last visit was a letdown. The food and service was so bad, that I even asked the waiter if there was any recent management change. I can tell you this, there are far too many great restaurants in the area that I will never have to worry in case Sierra Gold goes out of business due to diminishing quality and service. Best of luck to management! read more

Ok. Here's the deal. We are drunk and looking for food. It is 1:00 am. Fortunately, down in south Reno, we are able to rely on Sierra Gold to give us drunk individuals some food in the early morning. I am not too concerned on the quality of the food, I'm just looking for food. Sierra Gold to the rescue! read more

SO I drive by here everyday! I see a sign that says breakfast 1/2 off between 0600 and 1000 hrs daily so I thought what the heck! Well its a bar surrounded by a restaurant! The parking lot is in terrible shape and you seat yourself. We sat at the bar and was served by a wonderful bartender who was not only super friendly but very attentive and well I never needed to ask for anything, she was on it! The menu seemed a bit pricey for bar food but then again everything's expensive now! I ordered and omelette, bacon and cheddar I believe and babe got pancakes! The normal price for 4 pancakes and nothing else is $9 and my eggs with potatoes and toast was $11 if I remember correctly. This is way to high! The pancakes seemed like they were pulled from the freezer and microwaved, they were so rubbery we actually had to use a steak knife to cut them and my omelet, lol was nothing more than scrambled burnt eggs, nearly inedible and the potatoes that came with were so under cooked I couldn't eat them either! In fact the only reason I didn't get the manager and have this food removed from my bill was because the bar tender was so nice and the food was 1/2 price. Guess the lesson here is, 1/2 price food means 1/2 assed food preparation! I do not recommend you partake in their 1/2 breakfast! read more

Sierra Gold - New American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I had a wonderful experience here today. My server Alex is one of the best servers I've ever had in my experience dining out. By far 5 star service. The winds were great and the fries had a good and unexpected taste. I've never had a bad experience away this restaurant. I would gladly recommend anyone to come here. read more

A friend and I went here for the first time on Saturday. We were primarily looking for a decent place to watch a Nevada Wolf Pack football game and an equally decent dinner. The person who recommended Sierra Gold was right on both counts. There are TV screens everywhere you look and our server was quick to turn the one closest to us to the Nevada game on ESPN 2 as soon as the appointed time came. There was a small but vocal contingent of Wolf Pack fans at the other end of the bar and their cheering was exciting (as was the game - Nevada beat BYU, by the way - GO PACK!) We ordered an appetizer of artichoke and spinach dip served with garlic crostini and tortilla chips. This was warm and flavorful. I ordered a New Yorker sandwich, a combination of roast beef, corned beef, pastrami, provolone, pepper jack and Swiss on marbled rye with Cole slaw and thousand island dressing. The huge sandwich is held together with long wooden skewers, topped with onion rings. The sandwich is so large it's a challenge to eat- cutting it in half worked well. The deli meats were a bit dry and not high quality, but passable. The Cole slaw was crisp and flavorful and the onion rings were superb. I ended up taking 1/2 of it home. My companion ordered a plate of 12 wings with french fries. A mistake was made on the order and she received a bucket of 30 instead. Our delightful server recognized the error and we were charged only for what we had ordered. Again, half of the order went home. Overall, we found Sierra Gold to be a really neat place - good quality food, friendly staff and a great drink selection all reasonably priced. Perhaps we'll go back next week to catch the Hawai'i game! read more

Sorry to say this place has definitely gone downhill. I was here twice in less than a week and both times the servers were mostly MIA. At least on the first trip, the food was hot and tasty. I can't say the same for my experience last night. We were brought an undercooked pizza and a rather sad looking fry basket. The fry basket looked like the leftovers from the bottom of the fryer. We sent the pizza back and they (not surprisingly) refired the same pizza and brought it out about 10 minutes later. I think our server tried to make up for his poor service with personality but that wasn't cutting it. Why don't they bring a pizza box when you order a pizza and have leftovers? Why do I have to try and cram half a pizza in a regular styrofoam to go box? Another pet peeve is sitting amongst dirty plates when you've been done eating for 20 plus minutes! Another server started to clear our table but I guess she lost interest and didn't finish. The server took our payment cards and disappeared to the POS system only to return literally like 15 minutes later. From what I could tell he wasn't really in the weeds just a super case of "SQUIRREL". The happy hour here is only as good as the food and the service... read more

This is a great go-to spot for happy hour. Gotta give Golden Gaming credit. They've taken the PT's brand which is known for a good standard of service and quality of product and added a little more class with Sierra Gold bars. This one has a particularly eclectic mix of patrons and is typically a pretty good time. The bartenders and servers are always great. I've yet to have a bad meal or drink served in a dirty mug. Just a good spot to be for a beer. read more

This place is a cool spot to hangout and grab a drink, catch a game and play some pool. They have a bunch of seating so it's pretty easy to find a spot during happy hour. They have half off pizza and drink specials during happy hour. Last night my buddy and I sat at the bar...had 2 vodka tonics and had 2 guinnesses on draft. For food he tried their Kobe burger - he said it was good and I believe him because he killed it - with a $17 price tag I would hope it would be amazing!! I tried the Philly cheesesteak and wasn't as impressed unfortunately...I had onion rings and they were good but the cheese and meat and little bit of onions on my sammy were just no bueno :/ I definitely like this place and the staff is awesome...I'll be back but will stay away from that cheesesteak! read more

Great food, hit or miss on the service. But I am keeping the review 4 stars because of the food. If you come here, get one of the player's cards and order some half off pizza and beer. They have some unique combinations of pizza, but I prefer the hunters special with white sauce, instead of the red. If you can handle the slow service 50% of the time, it is worth going for a bite to eat, or a drink after work. read more

I like Sierra Gold; I travel to Reno four or five times a year on business, stay at the Hilton Garden Inn across the street, and walk over to get some drinks and eat. They have a great happy hour...lots of good beers on tap and pizza's at half price. The food is good here, there is a wide selection from breakfast served 24/7 to burgers to wings to steaks. One of my favorite appetizers is the deep fried potstickers served with Asian slaw, chili sauce, and the traditional potsticker dipping sauce. They serve it with pickled ginger on the side...a really nice touch. To the person on here who said the waitresses look like ex pole dancers with guts hanging over their belt line...what a sad and bitter person you must be. I can only imagine what you would look like in a pair of jeans. The service from the waitresses here is always first rate and friendly. Don't let ridiculous statements from people who are insecure and embarrassed with their own body deter you from trying this place out...you won't be disappointed. read more

OMG what a pleasant surprise. Where to start? 1. Half-priced price breakfast for quality dishes that were already reasonably priced. I mean, come on! Only $5.50 for chicken fried steak with three eggs over easy and cooked just right. One of the best chicken fried steaks I have ever had. 2. An excellent, perfectly spiced (did not even add extra Tabasco and black pepper, which I ALWAYS do) Bloody Mary for only $5. It does not get any better than this. 3. Alex, our bartender/server being very friendly and most efficient. And those leather tops the girls wear are quite friendly on the eyes, to boot. When ordering from Alex, I had a momentary lapse of memory and said, "Uh. Where's my brain?" and then placed my order. A few minutes later, my girlfriend, Mary said something (why don't I remember?) and Alex quipped, "I found your brain. It's sitting right next to you." Absolutely hilarious and quick-witted, I highly recommend you sit in her section of the bar. 4. The modernized poker/keno/blackjack machines that actually have all of the buttons working. 5. The club card sign-up process. Hand the bartender your driver's license and within a couple of minutes you are presented with your card and provided with detailed instructions on how to use the interface to validate your new PIN and activate your card. The Biltmore (see two reviews back) could learn a thing or twenty from this place. Thanks again, Alex. It was a true pleasure and great surprise to have a wonderful breakfast with such great service at such a reasonable price. read more

Sierra Gold has a great happy hour, and now apparently everybody in town knows about it, because the joint is a hopping! Every day from 4-8 ALL drinks are half off, that includes premium liquors and wines. Their really very good pizza is also half off. My favorite appetizer is the seared cajon ahi. The food is surprisingly good - it has certainly exceeded my expectations of bar food. One star off for the trashy outfits they make their cocktail waitresses wear. They are seriously out of place in suburban south Reno and frankly, I feel kind of bad for the girls. Also, this is not a guys' sports bar located downtown. This is a suburban neighborhood bar with lots of women and couples and sometimes even kids as customers. Companies have parties there (sexual harassment anyone?)! It's simply inappropriate. Give them a tight black t-shirt. Still sexy. Not slutty. read more

Happy. Hour cool everything else is LAME!!! lemon pepper wings smelled like soap, waiter was rude. Never again

I love the vibe of this place. Me and my friend stopped by this place about 2 days ago at night, and at first we went into the wrong side of this place which is a game room I think? Then we came out and walked around and found the correct door to this place lol. During out visit it wasn't crowded, only a few people. We sat down ordered some food and drink, I had the wings and sierra gold burger and a martini and a cosmo(don't judge me lol) and they all tasted great! My friend had the wings as well, and he loved it so much he ordered a second plate. The whole time we didn't feel we need to raise our voice when we talk, we can hear each other very clearly unlike some other place, tvs above the bar playing different channels, from news to sports. I love the dim lighting in this place, I love how down to earth the bartender is, will absolutely be back very soon! We used to frequent peppermill for late night snack, but from now on will come to this place for that. Oh their happy hour is pretty good too, half off drink and food( i think.) read more

The Satay salad is delicious. I will definitely order this again. Very good lunch. Service was pleasant and quick but not intrusive.

Just wanted to add I called and they were amazing with customer service, what probably happened was the sever probably swiped my card on the old ticket first on accident but then cancelled it so it showed up in the pending charges. It never did stick, but such genuine concern for trying to get it solved was so appreciated. Raising a star for great management and customer service. read more

Pricey 18 dollars for a burger and coke, took 30+ mins from ordering and the "build your own" wasn't right. I expect messed up food from a drive thru not a sit down restaurant/bar. Better service and food for your money in any other casino in town read more

The food is nothing special. Pretty standard stuff. They have 1/2 price breakfast before 10am, so it can be a good deal. If you like waitresses in leather skimpy outfits, you can add an extra star. read more

Good happy hour and the waitresses are attractive, friendly and attentive. Had the steak salad which was tasty, but the feta, tomato pizza was lackluster and the sliders and fries were just okay too. read more

This place is a short walk from my business stay hotel. They have a great happy hour and friendly servers. My server was Alexis and she was very efficient and friendly. I had the Gilroy pizza that she recommended. The pizza was 50% off for happy hour. I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the pizza. Toppings were literally falling off and the taste was delicious. I'm a big fan of the garlic white sauce on a thin crust. This place knows what they are doing and there were several frequent customers during my stay. One other note....the server Alexis was asked by the two ladies behind me to take their pictures several times. She was very patient and took several pictures and was upbeat about it. The ladies wanted her to make them look skinnier. read more

Been here a few times, but this was before Yelp so this will be my first Yelp review. Stopped by here today for a quick meal and drink. This visit I ordered a Cobb Salad with thousand island dressing and was not disappointed. It was a little more in cost than I am used to paying for a Cobb ($14), but it was definitely a good tasting salad. The server did seem a little bit rushed, but was still good. The beer was cold, crisp and delicious . The decor is typical for a bar, but at the same time, clean and spacious. Friendly bartenders too. Pizzas are half price from 4-7 pm and they are quite tasty too. Would definitely stop by again in the future. Enjoy! read more

I feel at home when I am here. As soon as I sit down my favorite drink is at my machine. The staff are all so friendly. Really, they are friends. The drinks are great. The food is awesome and SO reasonable. The 1/2price breakfast is the best. This morning after a nice bike ride, we had breakfast & I got a royal flush & won $1,200! read more

So I was in town and there just happened to be a Houston Texans play off game on. Of course it started at 10 am. I needed breakfast and beer. This place seemed to fit the bill. They have a happy hour breakfast in the morning where food is half off! So My wife got the breakfast burrito and let me tell you you could feed 2 people easily and was loaded with Chorizo, onions, peppers, scrambled eggs, cheddar and pepper jack cheese and came with home fries, sour cream, pico de gallo and guacamole. It was a super good value at half off for sure. I went for the breakfast pizza. I was surprised when it came out to be a really good size pizza. It was basically a regular cheese pizza that was then topped with Sausage, bacon, ham, cheddar and pepper jack and some scrambled eggs. The sauce on the pizza had a little kick to it and really went well with my 24 oz beer at kick off. I could easily have feed 2 people with this pizza. The service was pretty slow but pleasant. If I lived here I would go again and if you are in Reno I think it would be good day or night. The inside is nicely decorated and clean with a ton of big screen TV's. read more

Sierra Gold - above the fireplace where we sat - New American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Great place to meet with friends. I am not sure if there is any other place in South Reno that can match 4-7 pm happy hour deals. Any drinks and pizza at 50% off. We ordered Gilroy pizza with white gralic sauce, pepperoni, sausage, artichokes, and tomatoes. Pretty cheese too. Two drinks plus 16" freshly baked pizza ended up to be $17 bill. It is a great deal. Also I liked the layout of this tavern. Pretty open. If you are single, you can definitely mingle there :) read more

1/2 Price breakfast menu is a great deal. Big portions. It is a bar but lots of table seating. Good for groups. Friendly staff. Good service and good food. Can't ask for anything more! read more

I've been here several times and always had quick service, nice food and nice atmosphere. I've always sat at the bar so I can not rate the table service. read more

Rene and Alex were awesome servers. I've been to Sierra Gold in Vegas and this one here on Meadows in Reno is just as good if not better! Food quality was amazing and the service was great. Very attentive read more

We haven't gotten food yet, but our server, Christina, is awesome, and attentive, even during Happy Hour. Her bright smile says it all. My husband's half-price breakfast experiences here have been awesome (healthy portions of yumminess) so I am expecting no less of the half-price Happy Hour offerings. **It has arrived and is delish!!! read more

Today I had breakfast at Sierra gold expecting a good meal. My waitress was amazing she was new and very social engaged all the right things. We received our breakfast and it was less than good and that's being nice I ordered the skillet and my date ordered the burrito It was horrible I received chips what they call breakfast potatoes fried to the point they cut my mouth and my egg and splash of cheese and sliver of red, green bell pepper and sliver maybe two of onion. I didn't even finish and was told it's the new way they do breakfast. I feel bad for the waitress that has to serve this food with a smile. Very sad not coming back for breakfast even if it's at full price or 50% off read more

Bar food is bar food, but don't run it together for barfood .... The food here isn't anything great, it's your basic bar food. The pizza is better than the appetizers The service is typically pretty good though. We come in every 4-6 weeks with another couple, to eat, drink beer and play pool. I don't know where else to go play full size billiards by the hour, in a smoke free environment. If you read this, and know of a place, let me know :o) I like the number of television screens - typically with a different playing on 2 or 3 different screens. We go in on game days and the place has never been packed. It is busier in the evenings though, after 6, and once we didn't get to shoot pool because there wasn't a table available (there are 2 tables) read more

We came here on Friday night during Happy Hour for a birthday celebration. It was our first time visiting this South Reno Gem! There are always cars in the parking lot, with good reason. Great ambiance inside and they have a room that you can reserve for private functions - it's perfect for a group of 20-30. The servers walk around in vests and bedazzled belts - they look like they are in Coyote Ugly...no guy will complain about that! Happy Hour deals are awesome and their food is surprisingly good. We tried mainly appetizers, though one friend from the East Coast tried their Philly Cheesesteak and said it was right on target - this guy is tough to please so it must've been good. Didn't get a chance to snag a taste before it was gone! We had Ahi, Calamari, Pretzels, Wings, and their Jalapeno Poppers. All were tasty. This is a fabulous Happy Hour spot or a place to just chill out with a few friends. They have 2 pool tables, some great antique slot machines, and a very comfortable enclosed outdoor patio. read more

The happy hour specials are what bring us here. Everything is priced great and always tastes good. I've never had an issue with the service here either, and I've come on busy nights such as during the World Series. read more

A small group of us went to have a drink around 8 on a Tuesday. We were between happy hours, and the place was not dead...but it was not alive. We started at the bar, but moved to a table. While we were not the easiest group (ordering food at different times, 5 different checks), we were polite and thankful to the server for dealing with us. Our server was forced friendly, which is good enough I guess. I had the pear and arugula salad, and it was the perfect size. It was very good. The other girls had different salads, and everyone was satisfied. The people who ordered wine received generous pours. Sierra Gold was just what we wanted - a place we could all chat and get a drink and light dinner. While not a destination place (Hey, I'm totally craving Sierra Gold!) It's a good place to meet up with friends. read more

Lemme sum up: Very good food, good liquor selection, friendly staff Been here a couple of times and am making this a regular stop. It's a convenient location with plenty of parking. The interior is a little dark but roomy. You don't feel like you HAVE to talk to the guy next to you at the bar, or the table beside you because there's enough space to sip your Scotch and watch the game. The food and drink are decent. How can you beat a 50% drinks and pizza during happy hour? And they offer artichoke and goat cheese for toppings. Good stuff! They advertise a thin crust, but anyone from New York would take one look and say 'You're kiddin' me, right?' It's actually a flatbread pizza, but still very good. Truth be told, what won me over was that they had Oban but they certainly charge you for it. When you charge "expensive" and take 50% off, it's back to a normal price. Guess I'll stick to the beer. Screens are a little small for a sports bar. There are plenty of screens running around the bar so chances are you can find whatever game you want to, but you have to sit at the bar to get a good view. Get a few very large screens and we'll be talking a fourth star. The concept of cash flow is amusing. There is an ATM on the premises and video poker at the bar. I think they're running some kind of gambling promotion, too. Easy come, easy go, as they say. Need a place for pub grub and want to keep your eye on more than one game? Sierra Gold is a safe bet. read more
