    Jack Johnson Banana Walnut Pancakes
    Gena M.

    One of my favorite places to go eat breakfast. Tony and Miguel make the experience that much better. Super friendly and personable service. The atmosphere is always fun. Lots of quirky artsy decor. The food is great, lots of flavor and love the sauces served hot to add more flavor to the food. Great potatoes too just the right amount of crisp.

    Love this place! Miguel and Tony are the best in the buisness! Service is hands down superb! My Chipolte Hustle Benedict had so much flavor and a perfect hint of spice. My wife loves the Jack Johnson pancakes ( no pic).

    My friend and I had another eggs-elent meal at Squeeze In today. The restaurant is bright and cheerful, the staff are friendly and efficient, and the food is fresh and delicious. Today we had a Misty's Mocha, a Mango Tajin Mimosa, Violet's French Toast Breakfast, and Kay & Shi's Superfood Scramble, and we enjoyed excellent service from super friendly Tony L. We'll be back soon.

    The twice-baked scramble is still my favorite go-to breakfast or lunch form here. It comes with a side. I often choose to top it with hashbrowns. It is so scrumptious this way. This time, I opted to get a bowl of fresh fruit. It is packed full of potatoes, bacon, cheese, and green onions. I prefer to have my potatoes extra crispy. I love to get over-easy eggs and have the egg yolks run into the potatoes. It is a creamy lucscious bite. Being that it was a Sunday, we got a reservation through Yelp. I highly recommend doing this. We had a party of 5 and had a short wait of about 15 minutes. We all got something different. Our waitress made sure that my grandson got his meal first. He is three, and toddlers have a hard time waiting. She found out he loved strawberries and made sure he got more of them in his bowl. Service was wonderful, and we all had a great time.

    Half order of biscuits and gravy, bacon and eggs. Yum.

    This place is the place to go to for breakfast, the food is amazing, I ordered biscuits and gravy and egg and bacon, and the husband ordered an omelette, and the food was awesome and the service was great! They have the best biscuits and gravy, delicious!

    So I reviewed this place before, about 7 years ago, but for whatever reason, Yelp! pulled my review, and my photos, claiming I was "affiliated with the business", like I work here, or I'm a shareholder. Well, they won't be pulling this review, unless they want to break federal law as my disclaimer at the end will explain. I love the decorations, and all of the different alien stuff, and just random decorum that actually works for this place. People can also sign their name and put stickers on the wall! Anyhow, I've been coming to these for years. The one in Carson City also. I've actually been interested in buying into one of these franchises, because everyone that I've been to have been super successful, but its a cool $¼M just to get started. They have a good diverse menu, and they have mimosas by the pitcher. Of all the times I've been to these, I've only had a subpar meal one time, and that was a few times ago when I ordered the chorizo Benedict. I think they were training a new cook, but the eggs were way overcooked, but they were happy to bring me better eggs. This particular visit, Tony was my server. He is excellent! I'm pretty sure that he's waited on us somewhere down the line, but super on top of things, super happy, just a really good dude, so ask to sit with him if you want top notch service! This visit, I ordered the traditional Benedict. I'm an eggs Benedict FIEND, and every time I come here I always say I'm going to order something different, but I generally don't. I do on occasion, but this bene I ordered yesterday was ON POINT! Large eggs, poached perfectly, perfect hash browns, creamy rich hollandaise sauce, and I even ordered a side of biscuits and gravy, which were perfect. Haley brought our food to us out of the kitchen, she was super nice and told us we could rely on her if we needed anything special! Squeeze in is always pretty much a guaranteed home run. Sometimes the wait times are crazy, which is a good thing, but you can always check in online. I checked in online before I left the house yesterday, had about an 8 minute drive, and was seated within 3 minutes of getting there. But other times, I've checked in 20 minutes before arrival, and still had to wait 10 or 20 minutes. Regardless, to me it's worth the wait. Thanks squeeze in, thanks Tony, thanks Haley, we'll be seeing you again soon! To Yelp: I don't work here. I don't own this place. I'm not a shareholder. I'm not affiliated with this business other than being a faithful paying customer. I wouldn't advise pulling this review. ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

    Hangover Helper (with added jakapenos) - delicious!

    An absolutely enjoyable experience! It was my family's 1st time here, but we will definitely come back again the next time we're in the area. The family wanted brunch and this place was close by and dog friendly. We sat at an outside table (with our dog in a carrier) as a party of 6 and water and cups were promptly brought out and drink orders instantly placed. Our server was Kaitlyn (spelling may be wrong) but she was very attentive and patient and answered our questions. The food portions were huge and most of us took home leftovers. Food was tasty, except for the spuds (they were crispy and lovely but lacked flavor). However, everything else was a hot i ordered the Garth sandwich and it was delicious! All in all a lovely experience. Parking can be a bit of a hassle, since it's a shared parking lot with tons of businesses, but it was manageable. The outside seating was also on the sidewalk, so close to the parking lot, but still comfy.

    Neat place with lots of personality inside. Great service and immediately greeted and seated. It's kind of a smaller place but you're not too close to people around you. Food was good! Drinks were good. Felt a little expensive but I would definitely come back to try more.

    Huge tasty portions served by a wonderfully cheerful, caring(!) and friendly staff all working in perfect harmony. I love the cozy intimate yet casual vibe here. Big menu of breakfast and lunch favorites to choose from. Our choices this visit: The Spanish Flay Omelette (9/10) I usually try the terrific "Bomb Bacon Benny" whenever I am at a Squeeze In, but this time I went for the "Spanish Flay" Omelet. This creation was inspired by Season 7, Episode 10 of "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" when the celebrity cook paid a visit to Squeeze In. This "Spanish Flay" omelet came packed with a moderately spicy chorizo, sliced red bell peppers, potatoes, paprika and enough cheese inside to be able to execute a couple of "cheese pulls" as I devoured it. The accompanying Tomato Pesto sauce was perfect on the omelet. Ask for more! :) The sides of home fries were totally on point.. tender with a slightly crispy crust and not burnt. The default side of sliced toasted sourdough was almost perfect. I forgot to tell them to leave the butter on the side for that. Southwest Chicken Salad: (9/10) Fresh and healthy with a decent amount of sliced chicken breast. It comes with olives, so subtract that before ordering if that isn't your taste. Balsamic Vinaigrette was perfect with this. Getting Here: This Squeeze In is located in the strip mall right behind the bright red Wells Fargo sign at the corner of Sparks Blvd and Disc Drive. Plenty of parking, no problem! Look for the whimsical Area 51/Alien UFO mascot out in front of the main entrance that faces Sparks Blvd. Had a great time here! We'll definitely be back anytime we are close by..

    Everything was amazing Food Service Ambiance If you want a good homemade homestyle breakfast and not such a crowded restaurant this place to be super close to shopping malls only 10mins from my resort .... Thanks to Tony very respectful and polite.

    Came here for breakfast with family. The staff were so accommodating to set up a location in the back for my family since we had a dog. The set up a table with chairs and an umbrella to block out some sun. The area was clean and prepared well. Kaitlyn, our server, was so nice and accommodating. The food came quickly and the food was delicious. It was a great size. We enjoyed ourselves.

Before we devoured the rings our meals were delivered lightening fast. I ordered a bowl of delish clam chowder. It was thick and full of clams with an occasional crunch from the sand. The only downfall was I wish it was a bit hotter for my liking but regardless it was perfect. The brisket one meat platter with mac n cheese and mashed potatoes was full of yumminess. The brisket sandwich was so tender and full of flavor. The fries were out of this world and reminded us of the old fashion pic-nik shoestring potato chips.

My friend and I had other plans for lunch but Jacobo's turned out being our choice. I really felt like Mexican, she felt like Breakfast. I ordered Carne Asada , she ordered Pancakes, sausage and eggs, simple right... I will comment that we waited awhile for our food to arrive. Mine came on a large platter, nicely dressed with sour cream, guacamole, jalapeño peppers onions. Actually very nice, the meat was tender and tasty. Mine also came with eggs and potatoes. My complaint begins here, I ordered the eggs over medium and they came Over easy, the Potatoes needed more cook on them and I didn't care for the way they were seasoned. I'm not one to send back food, so I ate the eggs and left most of the potatoes. Oh, tortillas came with, either corn or flour. I chose flour and I will say it was a good soft flour tortilla. My friend always orders something simple and generally anything that can be made at home. As I mentioned she ordered pancakes, sausage and eggs. Again she ordered Over Medium and they were more Over Easy, the sausage links looked disgusting, small shriveled and overly browned. She complained about the pancakes as well ( I tasted them and they tasted fine to me ). So overall, not a great meal. I have a favorite option for breakfast in Sparks and will undoubtedly go back there. As I mentioned the staff were nice and friendly, no complaints there. I'm sad that we weren't happy with the food here, we both had high hopes. Unfortunately I didn't take my phone to photograph anything. P.S. a funny thing, the menus seemed worn yet the restaurant hadn't been open that long for them to be in the condition they were in. An odd thing.

I don't know what seasonings they put on the chicken but it was absolutely delicious. Now a risk with any fried chicken is over-cooking the chicken at the cost of getting the skin crispy. This was the case with our dish. While the outside was absolutely amazing, the chicken itself was a bit over cooked. What a shame. We ordered the Chicken Platter with a side of Red Beans and Rice. This was straight from the Bayou. Simple, delicious and perfect. Just wish I had a bigger serving. We also sampled the corn bread. While this too was quite good, the texture was bit to cake like to my liking. Not in a bad way, just different to what I would have preferred.

We only talked to him for a few minutes! There are still some really nice people in the world as Reno is having a horrible fire disaster!!! Our bartender is the best! He takes such good care of us! I would highly recommend signing up for the rewards program clover and you acquire points until you get to 100 and then you get $10 off your meal which we did today. The meal is only $6.50. How is this possible? Great people and great discounts!! One of my very favorite places to have a personal pizza & a couple of beers.

    Hello Sparks, and more importantly, Jim Flanagan, the owner of Mamma Celeste's…read more I honestly don't know where to begin. We were seated at Mamma Celeste's with our children for dinner. After we had been seated for a while and had ordered our food and drinks, our waitress came over and asked whether our kids had touched a "ramekin." We had no idea what she was talking about. She pointed to a clear plastic lid sitting on the windowsill behind our bench seating and told us it contained fly poison and could make our children sick. The lid was actually on the ground. As a parent, I immediately wanted to know exactly what product and active ingredient we were dealing with so I could contact Poison Control. While our children washed their hands, the staff brought me the bottle and said they would get the manager. The manager initially would not address me, so I asked who the manager was and eventually spoke with her. I asked why pesticide was being placed in open, accessible areas on the windowsills directly behind seating where children could easily reach it. Her response was essentially that most kids just sit and eat their food. I asked whether she had children. She said yes. I asked her, as a parent, how she would feel if her children were sitting at a restaurant and staff had placed pesticide within their reach without informing the parents. At that point, our food had just arrived, but I was no longer comfortable eating it. I told her very clearly that I wanted the pesticide removed from areas accessible to children. I ended up addressing the restaurant because I felt other parents needed to know what was sitting within reach of their children. I'm disappointed with how the situation was handled by management, but ultimately, the responsibility for how pest-control products are placed in a restaurant falls on the owner Jim. I have contacted the health department because I believe this needs to be investigated. Regardless of whether anyone actually touched the product, I cannot understand why a pesticide would be placed on windowsills directly behind occupied seating where children can access it. Parents should be able to take their children to a restaurant without having to worry about whether pest-control chemicals are sitting within arm's reach. Please share this so other parents are aware. I hope the owner takes this seriously. ** I appreciate your response, Jim, but I do want to clarify one important point because your response makes it sound as though I came in expecting a free meal because I was a Hawk Fire evacuee. That is not what happened. I did not come there looking for a free meal, and I certainly did not expect one. When the issue with the pesticide exposure occurred, we had not even eaten our food. Our children had eaten their pizza, but we adults had not eaten ours. When we were refused a replacement/refund for the food we had not eaten, I said that I was a Hawk Fire evacuee and had already been extremely stressed and displaced from my home. I said, essentially, that if the business wasn't going to make things right regarding the food, then the meal could at least be considered a gesture for everything we had already been going through. That was not the reason we came in, and it was not something I demanded beforehand. My concern was the pesticide exposure and the fact that a bottle of pesticide was accessible in the circumstances I described. Saying that the product is safe when dry does not address my concern about how it was handled or the fact that my children were present. I posted the picture so other customers could make their own informed decisions. I am glad you have explained your position, but I don't want the circumstances surrounding the meal or our status as evacuees to be misrepresented. We were already going through an incredibly stressful time being displaced from our home. We simply wanted to eat a meal with our children and leave safely. We did not come looking for anything for free.
