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!!

We love supporting local businesses especially when they are responsible for the menu! My husband and I both ordered the pulled pork sandwiches, I got regular and he got the spicy one. They were pretty good. There was extra sauce on the tables which we did use. We got coleslaw on the sandwiches, but there wasn't very much. I would definitely ask for extra. I got mine with mac and cheese and he got his with corn bread. We liked both sides. My toddler especially liked the mac and cheese. Good beer selection as well. Pretty small inside so we sat outside. We were with another family and unfortunately they have signs to not move any chairs and tables, so we were not able to sit together as all the tables on the patio were set for two.

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!

While touring Virginia City, we decided to stop here to grab a quick bite to eat. We weren't our…read moreusual party of six; instead, simply a party of four as a result we were sat rather quickly. The decor definitely fit the name, and the staff passed the vibe check. Greeted immediately and sat at a sizable table, I noticed plenty of seating availability; however, space was rather tight with regard to table placement. We found the menu to be extensive and combed through the plethora of choices before landing on our final decisions. Always eager to try new things, I noticed there were quite a few specialty cocktails, including spiked milkshakes. I opted for the Vanilla Kahlua, and I would do it all over again! The milkshake was blended to perfection, smooth with a little razzle-dazzle you didn't know you needed. The kids opted for chocolate milkshakes they loved and rated 10/10. Very much like our other dining experiences, the kids settled on chicken tenders and fries while we, on the other hand, chose to explore our options. We started off with chilli cheese fries along with spinach and artichoke dip served with house-made tortilla chips. The portions for both appetizers were well-sized and delicious. We managed to get quite the cheese pull with the chilli cheese fries, and the house-made tortilla chips were most definitely worth writing home about; they were perfectly sized, light, and airy with an excellent amount of crisp that added texture to the flavorsome spinach and artichoke dip. For our entrees, he ordered the bacon egg and cheese burger with fries; there was an option for a turkey Reuben; however, I'm not a fan of sauerkraut, so I politely requested a turkey Rachel, and although it wasn't an option on the menu, they obliged much to my heart's delight! It's the little things Of course, the food did not disappoint! My sandwich was toasted impeccably with the right amount of butter melted, offering a decadent crisp that merged nicely with fillings making up my sandwich. Truthfully, I was beyond impressed with the aesthetic of the establishment, the services provided, and how flavorful the food was. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and engaging, which made our experience even more memorable, so much so that we eagerly anticipate our next visit.

A fairly new sandwich shop in Virginia City…read more Every March my small group heads to VC for the Testy Festy event. We stay the weekend so we can check out all the mom and pop restaurants. Savage is a small sandwich shop on C Street. To go orders are available. Inside has about seven tables. They offer about 20 different burgers and sandwiches hot off the grill, five salads, and a few usual sides. The French dip was pretty filling, lots of this roast beef and melted cheese on a soft roll. They take credit cards and cash. Usually closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Open 11a to 5 pm. But in VC always double check the hours. During the event we were able to eat as late as 7 pm. Limited street parking out front. But I park and walk the entire town, great exercise and most businesses are on C Street.

We were lucky to get the most fresh, warm, crisp chips and salsa! Their salsa was well blended and paired nicely with the fresh guac. Their salsa little blue pot was such a treat. Filled with rice, pinto beans and your choice of meat, I chose steak, and paired with some tortillas, you have yourself your own personal taco station! I loved how fresh all of the food was. Great location at the end of town, easy parking either in the lot or on the Main Street, the inside is perfectly decorated, cozy and inviting, along with all of the staff.

Every time I come I swear I'm going to order Mexican…read more But.....I get the Gospel Fried Chicken. Seriously I have been ordering this plate for probably a decade now, whether it's on Sunday when I'm leaving VC or now on a Thursday night. This go to dish reminds me of the crispy crunchy fried chicken my mom would make, on all days, Sunday. Along with mashed potatoes and gravy. The plate comes with corn and cole slaw, but not a fan of slaw in general I opt for extra taters and gravy. Service is always great and friendly. Depending on your visit, if you come during an event in town, you should make reservations. Rio is that popular. But tonight, on a quiet Thursday night before the crowd arrives this weekend, two of us had no problems walking in and being seated immediately. Rio does offer some delicious looking tacos, enchiladas and burritos. As well as salads and some hot sandwiches. Rio also offers 12 different margaritas flavors to accompany your Mexican cuisine, as well as a full bar. They have their own parking lot. In VC that's gold. And there's limited street parking.

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.

Anyway the tables were kept clean, the ice tea, water, lemonade never went dry. Refills were plentiful. The condiments on the tables were clean. The bathrooms were clean.

This straight forward home style cooking serves breakfast and lunch five days a week until 3 pm. Breakfast portions are substantial. Fluffy airy pancakes that require no syrup. Biscuits and brown sausage gravy bigger than a lumberjack's fist. And if you require a little adult beverage- there's several options for mimosas. Including a flight if you can't decide. And house made Bloody Mary mix that creates a drink that looks like a meal, but I was assured it was just an appetizer. If you slept in or weren't quite feeling like breakfast, there's a great variety of hearty sandwiches. My go to is the BLTA on your choice of bread. Fries are good, but I highly recommend the tater tots- they are tossed in crack, so you just can't stop. And don't ask me to share. The French dip was piled high with thinly sliced roast beef on a fresh hoagie bun. There's a great small patio out front, large dining room to the right or the quaint cafe like area you walk into. Also congrats to the CC crew. 2026 Rocky Mountain Oyster Festival winning Philly cheesesteaks. Yes it was delicious.
