    Pretty good food inside the hospital. Not sure why it has a name like it is a real cafe as opposed to a hospital cafeteria.

    Been visiting a few buffets around Reno lately, because who doesn't love getting your multiple…read moreplate and 11 course meal groove on? I for one love my dining cuisine like I love my romances, plentiful and leaving me desiring nothing but to drift off into deep blissful slumber. Well here at the J casino I can assure you that even though this buffet doesn't look like much at first glance it packs a powerful wallop. There is no skipping the line, even if you are a higher tiered member. I actually like that because I find it to be fair. Just the way the good lord intended we eat at places of convenience. Luckily the line wasn't too long and the person behind the register was swift. Next our server was great! Her name was Janet and she also works as a nurse practitioner for elderly people, and you would think that would make her slower or perhaps a little too exhausted to keep at it, but to our surprise she was beyond helpful and the service was excellent. The buffet has crab legs, mini pizzas, salads, pastas, and desserts there's plenty of variety and lots of friendly faces to assist you if you should need anything. The overall environment seems eager to help. Very much recommended this place, it's one of my new staples in my diet.

    The crab legs are great. And they have butter melted (not margarine)…read more There is too much salt on the crab, and items can be dry when sitting out for a while. But overal, it is very good. Locals night is the best because the food plates turn over faster and fresher. So go Tuesday nights if you live here. BOGO

We got pork and beef soup dumplings that were really tasty and did not burn our mouths when we bit into them so that was fantastic. We got tankatsu ramen and the broth was one of the best I've ever tasted. But the meat pieces and noodles were disappointing. We got the quesabirria tacos and the flavor on those were fantastic...plus they weren't greasy which I really appreciated. And it came with the consume which also had really good flavor. Overall, this place is now in my top 3 all time favorites for a good quesabirria taco. My 2 complaints are that I wasn't able to order any kind of taco à la cart so I couldn't try more flavors/meats and the quesabirria option didn't come with a drink but the other taco options did.

The variety alone makes it a must-visit, and the community events and large, clean dining area are definite highlights. For that, I'd give the local support and atmosphere a 10 out of 10. That said, I think there's real opportunity to make this place even better for visitors and for the vendors who call it home. The turnover of businesses coming and going is noticeable, and it makes me wonder whether the cost of participation is sustainable for smaller operations. It would be wonderful to see more support structures in place to help local businesses thrive long-term here because when vendors succeed, the whole experience improves for everyone. A few small operational tweaks could go a long way. Shared basics like utensils, condiments, and drink lids would reduce friction and make the dining experience feel more seamless especially at this price point. Centralized supply sharing between vendors seems like a natural fit for a space like this. Free refills or a self-serve drink station would also be a welcome touch. Pay for specialty cups or refill discounts for the reusable cups. The 2nd floor feels like untapped potential more vendor options or seating activations up there could really elevate the whole space. Maybe a kids play area or a little indoor garden. Maybe th3 coffee shop should be there with some book and trinkets for people to hangout in. Some boardgames even or corn hole. At the price point, these are reasonable expectations, and I genuinely hope management takes them as the encouragement they're meant to be. This place has everything it needs to be truly exceptional it just needs a few refinements to make it as worthwhile for vendors and visitors alike as it deserves to be.

The eating area is very spacious and commodious. Though this place has a casual vibe, the presentation of the food is totally fine-dining material. Each dish, especially the Citrus glazed salmon, is served as a piece of art. I've been here around three times before I installed yelp, and am excited to finally leave a review. The short rib, was absolutely amazing. The short rib was so tender, and each brussels sprout was a literal flavor bomb. The brussels sprouts I've had at other places have flavor only on the exterior, whereas the brussels sprouts here play a different game. The short rib is served in a really big portion. Though it may look dark from the photos, there are actually three big pieces. I loved loved loved the sauce; there's a sweet tangy taste to it, though it reminded me a lot of BBQ sauce. This short rib was a win. Chefs kiss. The truffle lasagna was terrific; so much sauce in between the lasagna layers. I could absolutely make out the truffle flavor in this dish. However, I recommend eating this dish quickly, as the lasagna stiffens really quickly. Thirty minutes after it was served, I went it to take another bite, and it wasn't as good anymore. The ceasar salad +beef is a great choice for a light but filling meal when you're currently on a healthy diet. Each dish here comes in giant portions, but even after you finish this salad, it won't feel too heavy on your body. I think it's because Washoe is really light on the dressing levels; perfecting the amount so it doesn't overtake the fresh flavor of the greens or leave the salad bland and insipid. However, the beef was a bit too well done and on the firmer side. The first time coming here, I was totally shocked to find out that the food they served did not match the relaxed and informal vibe the setting sets up. Not a bad thing at all. Creates a laid-back vibe while still getting high quality food.

Situated in Mid-Town, it is conveniently located near the River and an easy walk to to the Pioneer Center. Have no fear, there is quite normal food fare in addition to the more exotic. We went with a large group, so we were able to sample the exotic and the more traditional. Starting with the Double Elk Chops, featured on Dives, Diners and Drive-Ins, the Elk is a bit on the gamey side, tender with a hint of lamb taste but a finish of liver, it is not for everyone. Scottish Eggs is a soft boiled egg, wrapped in sausage, then deep fried. It is served with a beer mustard. My friend, from England, was quick to order the Scottish Eggs. He reported that they were a bit over cooked but otherwise fine. 6/10. The Kangaroo Philly Cheese Steak sounds more exotic than the taste. For this sandwich I would have appreciated a bit more Kangaroo :-) but otherwise was good. Our friends seemed to enjoy the Boar Schnitzel and the portion was certainly large, as were all the portions at the Washoe Public House. The Short Ribs were so tended and a just a touch on the sweet side. My wife liked the sweetness but as a full meal, it was a bit sweet for my palate. I had the Washoe Burger with Bacon. A solid burger. I would have preferred my patty a bit less cooked but it was fine none the less. Rich with flavor, a solid choice. The fries were good. Nothing spectacular. It you are looking for different, Washoe Public House just might be the ticket. Fantastic cuisine, located close to the River and other entertainment.

A red flag should have went off when I noticed that the sour cream was not melting. But I ate it anyway. The pull pork was not warm and the potato wasn't tender or hot.

Reminded of how they do fish and chips in the UK which I prefer. The Haddock was fresh while the batter was very crispy. The chips were great as well. We actually went back the next night and I had to get it. This is slowly developing into a go-to spot whenever we come to Reno. They're menus are pretty versatile and can't wait what to try next.

The scallop dish with the black rice was yum. The gnocchi dish was heavenly. I'm not much of a pesto girl but it was perfectly made and the gnocchi melted in your mouth. So delicious. I didn't try the ravioli but on to the worst of all.... My spaghetti bolognese. It was so salty and the noodles weren't spaghetti at all. It was similar to ramen noodles. I was pretty disappointed and only had a few bites. Seems to me like the cook may have put a ton of effort into the gnocchi and could have focused more on that spaghetti. But overall everyone really enjoyed their meals and I enjoyed the vibes with friends.

The decor inside has that BBQ joint feel with some nice pig paraphernalia and Nevafa stuff. Shayla our server was very nice and courteous and made us feel right at home. My only critique involves another server who seemed very chatty with a couple who sat next to our table. She was talking with them a lot. She also made a comment after she noticed me taking photos of the inside saying "you can easily spot out the first timers." I think that's something a server should keep to themselves instead of mentioning it out loud. But that's me. I would've given this review 3.5 stars if I could just for that.

Yes, the brisket was actually INEDIBLE! It was dry, tough, rubbery, tasteless. The only way I could even power a couple of bites down was soaking it in the BBQ sauce.
