I took a vacation to Cal-Neva and dined at Top Deck nearly every day during my visit. I was seated very fast every time and the service is good, although drink refills can be slow. The ambiance can best be described as "Old School Vegas" before gentrification, complete with keno displays in the dining room. The prices are very reasonable and the value is excellent. The food is not gourmet but exceeded expectations each time. Steaks were not the highest quality meat and the lobster is on the small end, but they are still delicious. Pork chops and eggs were wonderful, as are all the sides. Overall I had a good time at Cal-Neva, and dining at Top Deck added to the nice experience. I will certainly return! read more

If you are looking for value with supersized portions, look no further than than Top Deck. We had a party of 5 for lunch. This came recommended by my uncles who love a good value meal. It feels like you are in a time capsule when you eat there. Decor is from the 70s-80s. The service is hit and miss. There was no host to greet folks, but our waiter was really nice and gave good recommendations. We had the chicken Parmesan $13.99 along with the chopped chicken salad $12.99. Portions could feed at least 3 people. Literally they took 1 pounds of noodles and put tomato sauce on it. read more

Went in for a quick snack to share with the hubby before the baseball game. Was seated very quickly. Ordered the chicken fingers and an order of onion rings to share as they didn't have a side order of French fries that showed in the menu. The food came out fast. The chicken tenders were good but could have been cooked a little more well done. The onion rings were okay, mainly because they just tsst r like they bathed in a bucket of grease ( yes I know they were deep fried). The menu overall looks tasty but if I go back I'll definitely steer clear of the onion rings. read more

This is my favorite restaurant to hit up whenever I'm in Reno. Back then my family and I would always eat here during our family trips, and it's safe to say that not much has changed. The menu is the same, the food is still delicious, and the best part: the prices are still cheap. They might have increased a bit, but only marginally. Back then you'd be able to get prime rib for like $10 but now it's $15, which is extremely reasonable considering other places charge minimum $25 for the same thing. Service was a little slow while we were here--there might have been a mix up with servers because there wasn't anyone to wait the table we were seated at, so another employee had to step in to help us. Other than that, everything went smoothly. We ordered our stuff, received our food, and devoured it. I usually order the prime rib with mashed potatoes and veggies. It always hits the spot. Don't expect top notch quality prime rib, but for the price, it can't get any better than that. I will continue to come back to this place when I'm in town. read more

This place never disappoints! Got the prime rib 8oz special, steak and fries both medium rare. The price is still decent. The prime rib and steak were both seasoned and cooked perfectly. They both came with chicken noodle soup. I love stopping by here whenever I am at Reno. read more

Honestly, the food should have been 3.5 stars and the service -3.5 stars. This is the restaurant in the casino so it's definitely an interesting crowd. I was told there would be a 30 min wait for a table but the counter was available now if I wanted so I opted for the counter. A woman was quick to ask me for my drink order, but little did I know, that would be the last encounter with a server for over 30 mins. I sat there watching the servers pass by taking food from the pass to the different tables in the restaurant. I ended up asking 5 different times for a server to take my order and each time was told that someone else was responsible for the service at the counter and they would try and find the server. The entire row of diners sitting at the counter was waiting to order and no one would even look at us. I have never seen a restaurant run in this manner before. It was clear that they had no intention of finding our server. I was eventually able to flag down a server who was okay with taking my order. I ordered the prime rib and lobster. The lobster was pretty overcooked and not very good. The prime rib and mashed potatoes were pretty solid for the price. Would probably order that again, minus the lobster. But will probably never return due to the awful service. read more

Their 9.99 steak and eggs special brought me into cal neva. I ordered the steak and eggs along with a stack of pancakes on the side--and let me tell you, both absolutely hit the spot. The steak was tender and cooked close to what I ordered. The pancakes were fluffy, golden, and had that nostalgic flavor that brings you back to simpler times. No gimmicks here--just solid, delicious food made with care. Service was fast, warm, and genuinely welcoming--something you don't always find in casino-adjacent diners. My coffee cup never ran dry, and the servers made the whole experience feel relaxed and easy. Yes, the space is a little worn around the edges, but it kind of adds to the charm. Think "vintage Tahoe diner" more than "dated." And for the price? Almost shockingly affordable, especially given the generous portions and quality. Bottom line: If you're staying at Cal Neva or just passing through, Top Deck is 100% worth a stop. read more

Best burgers and fries! Good menue and good beers. The servers are extremely cheerful and pleasant.

You pay for what you get...although we didn't even get our salad and I had to remind our waitress that we still didn't get our drinks despite being half way through our meal. We ordered the prime rib and it was barely edible. Yes it was pretty cheap compared to most of the restaurants around the area but being in an old casino, the ambiance was nothing to write home about. Just bad... read more

Old school casino food. On a recent visit to Reno, my friend and I can't pass up the sign advertising surf and turf for $16.99 (steak and lobster). Walked through the smoky casino floor to the slightly less smoky 2nd floor dining area and found that you can get a slice of prime rib with a lobster tail for $17.99. Baked potatoes would be a bit more. My friend's end cuts were a bit dry and my medium rare cut was done perfectly. Au jus was a bit plain as well as the creamy horseradish. Aside from the general smokiness of the place, I actually kind of enjoyed the old timey vibe with the red booths separated by frosty glass partitions. No thrills, but I'm sure I'll be back if I'm in the area again. read more

Visiting from out of town for vball tournament. My friend saw the sign that said steak and lobster $16.99. So we decided to try it out. Street parking, free parking on Sundays. Located inside a casino on the 2nd floor. Came in a big group spread out over 4 booths and an open table for the kids. Couldn't decide between the ribeye or prime rib, so my husband and I each ordered one. We ended up not doing the $16.99 deal. We just got the biggest portion for each meat and added a lobster for $10. U get a side like fries, mash potato or I forgot what else. U also get to chose soup or salad, I went with the salad and got Caesar dressing. Each plate also came with chopped green beans, looked like it was from a can, idk if I could have subbed that out for something else. I didn't even touch it. The prime rib was yummy, I suggest that other my "ribeye" that was questionably a ribeye. Prices were really good tho. My friend got steak and eggs and they devoured it. Great customer service, I forgot our servers name, he was really nice and friendly Asian guy. We also got to sing happy birthday to my husband and they brought him a chocolate cake but he asked for other dessert and preferred the cheese cake instead that came with strawberry or cherry sauce. Would def recommend this place. read more

8/15/2025 came here with a friend to try the lobster and steak for 18$. It was pretty dam good. The service was great and the atmosphere was different but I enjoyed it. With the two plates and 4 beers my bill was only 46$. That's friggin awesome. I'll definitely be back read more

Friggin classic old skool Reno baby!!!! I walked into the casino and all I could see is smoke, old people, crazy locals and cheap alcohol. And I LOVED IT. The security saw me and came over to ask if I was lost haha. I told him I was looking for Top Deck and he looked at me like I was crazy. But he said ok "follow me." We went through the casino and then outside to an alley way then back inside to another casino. He literally escorted me through 1970 to the elevator that lead to Top Deck and wished me goodbye. The elevator opened on the high floor and lo and behold it was old as hell up there too. I walked into the waiting area of Top Deck and there were workers but hardly any people. I knew I had to be in for a treat for sure. The lady looked around as if to find a good spot and sat me in a big booth in sight of the entry and the cooks. It was wonderful. I asked her what her favorite plate was and she said "chicken fried steak." I said girl It's 5pm not 8am. Hahaha. The waiter guy came over. He was this young white rough looking 20 somthing. Odd because everyone else working looked to be 120. He was pretty blunt and I asked lots of questions. He answered every question perfectly in a very blunt scruffy way. I ordered the Prime Rib and Lobster with a cup of coffee. Hell yeah! The coffee came. Old ass white cup and nice and strong. It tasted like heaven in a world of starbucks hell. As I enjoyed me coffee, all the workers came by one by one to check on me. Were they that bored or do they just care about me? Either was I was happy. Even what looked like the manager came by. He told me he worked until 9pm and I told him that 9pm is just around the corner. He replied "it can't come soon enough" in a somber but real way. I also noticed people, customers started showing up. First in pairs, then in small groups and a huge group came it too. All of a sudden the place was packed. Gamblers and locals I think. The food came and I was blown away by how big the plate was. Huge. Big ol cut of prime rib albeit it was thin (you can order a thicker cut). A small to medium lobster tail (fresh water?) and friggin old skool hospital looking mashed potatoes and gravy! I was in heaven!!!!! Also came with drawn butter, au jus, pure horseradish and creamy horseradish. The young waiter even explained to me the difference between the horseradish not knowing that I eat horseradish at the best steakhouses in the world. The prime rib was tasty but not the best cut but it reminded me of the old skool days eating out with my parents 40 years ago. A long piece even got stuck in my teeth and I had to make sure I chewed it really well so I didn't choke on it. It was magical. The lobster was awesome too. Not flaky and soft like expensive lobster but kinda rubbery in a good way when you cut it with a knife. The mashed potatoes and gravy way totally yummmmmmm. Like the school cafeteria during Thanksgiving. I loved and cherished every bite of the meal. I finished every single bite and drank my coffee and people watched in fullness and joy. I even drank the rest of my au jus from the plastic cup. I went to pay the bill at the front register and there were three ladies paying in front of me. They looked like they just came from skiing and they spoke Spanish. They had a single bill but had the worker read out everyone's order separately and then deducted it from the reciept. The worker apologized for the delay. I had no problem with it. A couple of the workers waved to me and smiled goodbye to me. As I got up to pay I wondered what in the world those 3 ladies ordered that their bill was in excess of $400 when my completely fulfilling meal was about $22. The worker lady said "they had a good time for sure." I loved my experience and joyfully tipped 50% for the great time. I should have tipped 100% now that I reminisce. As I got down to the bottom of the elevator at the bar, I saw the security guard watching the football game. It was the big 49er game. I told him "mannn I am full." He replied "no doubt my brother." THANK YOU TOP DECK and for whatever casino hotel it's located in. I had a great time that reminded me of times past and gave me new memories to laugh at to last whatever time I have left on earth. Peace and JESUS loves you if you've read my review this far. read more

We stopped here for breakfast before driving from Reno to Lake Tahoe.  My husband saw a billboard advertising a $7.77 special.  This special included two eggs, a choice of meat, hash browns, and choice of toast.  Our server, Candi, made our meal fantastic!   She was so friendly, and we really enjoyed meeting her.  Our breakfast was really good, and you can't beat the price!  I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area.  Make sure you ask for Candi!  FYI, she told us that her last name is Bar.  Can't forget that - - Candi Bar!! read more

Save yourself the disgust. Last night after enjoying some time at the card tables we decided to head up to the Top Deck. Worst mistake ever. I ordered a New York dinner and the hubby got prime rib. My meal came with "steak", mashed taters, veggies, and a salad. His was the "prime rib", pilaf, veggies, and chicken soup. Starting with the soup and salad, the soup was overly salty and tasted like it was from a can. The salad was just some lettuce with a few rings of onion on top and some crusty croutons. Ranch dressing was questionable. Meat was absolutely disgusting, we both ordered rare and the stuff was 3 days past well done. While the pic may have some pink on the meat that had to be an anomaly because the stuff was dry and grey inside. Pilaf had absolutely no flavor at all and the mashed potatoes may as well have been wall paper paste. The corn could have had an ounce of potential until we got "butter" for it and whatever that stuff was wouldn't even melt. My husband ordered a "coke" which was really just some sort of cola but was overly sweet and undrinkable. Our server was inattentive and seemed pissed off as soon as we sat down. She seemed mad that we didn't eat our food or want to take the leftovers with us. Are you crazy, that food was absolute crap. In the end they took $15.00 off the bill. Never going back again. I'd be real curious to see what Gordon Ramsey would make of this place if it was on kitchen nightmares. can just imagine to atrocities he would find in the kitchen and cooler. read more

My 5 stars comes with a caveat. $9.99 for steak, fries, and a soup is insane! Now, if you ask for it medium or medium well, will you get it? No, you're getting a well done steak!

Landed in Reno and just wanted a quick, easy dinner. The casino is throw back from charming 80s. Take elevator to 3rd floor for Top Deck restaurant. Diner with fancy food - what a surprise. Ordered chili, eggs & hash and pork chop dinner. Pork chops pounded thin and pan fried crispy - simple & good. Got there late - were out of baked potatoes & balsamic dressing. Great value - $30 total, like back to 80s. Service small town friendly. read more

I was back in town, so I decided to come over for breakfast. Unfortunately, the days of the $.99 Ham and eggs are long gone. Still, where else can you get a steak and eggs for only $9.99? Again, the place was clean, and everybody was friendly. I got my food quick. I asked for my steak , medium, and that's how I got it. Sure, the steak had a little bit of a "chew" to it, but really, not bad at all. The flavor of the steak was absolutely delicious. My eggs came perfectly over easy just like I asked for them. The hash browns were not greasy at all. They looked like they were overdone, but they were just right. Once again, I was very satisfied with my meal. Thank you. read more

Top Deck is a very reasonable at the Cal Neva Casino. It's on the 2nd floor next to the escalators. So the locals go there to eat and gamble. But there was no wait to get a table. You can get a steak and eggs entree for $9.99 plus tax, tip. I had the Lobster and steak dinner. The steak is a bit tough. The next day, the steak tasted better. The lobster was small but a good add on appetizer. I'm a small eater and had leftovers. You get one side to add and it's extra to add a salad or soup. The bus and wait staff are really friendly. read more

Oh yes yes I recommend this place. Okay I've only been here once and I had the prime rib and it wasn't quite right, but it was right in old school sort of way! My friend had the land and sea which looked better to me and I wish I would have gotten that but when you're in Reno I think you should eat the prime rib! But this place takes me back to when I was younger, the way I remembered Reno. I love Reno actually. I'll take Reno over Vegas any day! Come here expecting old school honest restaurant food and you won't be disappointed. Enjoy the atmosphere! I was here last October and the staff was really nice. I parked across the street at some lot but they have their own lot there which I should have utilized. I'll check this place out again next time I'm in town! read more

Top Deck Restaurant is located on the third floor of Cal Neva. The immediate first thing I think of is how they advertise their $9.99 Steak & Eggs which is a steal. Friends and I were craving Steak & Eggs so decided to come here on a Friday night. The restaurant was not busy - we were seated immediately and our waiter was attentive with getting our orders right away and checking up on us throughout the meal. I ordered my Steak & Eggs medium rare and it came with eggs, hash browns, and your choice of bread (I got sourdough). Our food came out in a timely manner. My steak turned out fine, it wasn't the best but also not the worst. There was not anything memorable about the food itself. Unfortunately, my friend must have had a bad cut or something because her meat was very chewy - she had to spit it out. My other friend ordered the chicken & waffles and he was pretty disappointed. His chicken was 2 small chicken tenders on top of a full waffle. It was not an equal ratio and the amount of chicken was minimal for the meal. With that, he was still hungry after the meal. Also, when I asked for A1 sauce they said they didn't have any steak sauce. To me, it was surprising considering that they have multiple steak entrees. The best part about the experience was truly the price of the meal. I spent less than $12.00 for the entire meal and I was pretty full at the end of it. However, I did get a tummy ache later that night. At the end of it all, I would go to a different place to satisfy my Steak & Egg craving. read more

Unfortunately this was not the visit for us I guess. Steak and lobster cold. Waitress Mary was really impolite. She served all salads but my husband whom she avoided like the plague. I get it. He's Hispanic. But he's still a customer. He felt it. I hope Mary is happy with herself. Her demeanor was obvious. Next time IF THERES A NEXT TIME we frequent your establishment and she's our waitress, we are walking out. She wouldn't even bring more than 2 steak sauces even though there were three steak dinners. I'm assuming because one of them belonged to my brown husband. Yeah. NOPE read more

My mom and I stumbled across the Top Deck as we were exploring downtown Reno. We decided to give them a shot as they had a really extensive menu with very decent prices. The staff was very friendly and service was quick! I had the Taco salad which was labeled as one of their specialties. It was excellent! A rather large size too! My mom had a chopped salad which looked delicious as well. All in all, I will definitely be returning the next time I visit reno. read more

They got me when I saw that they had prime rib and lobster for $16.99. It was one of the few times that my wife agreed to eat red meat during our roadtrip. The prime rib was about a 1/4 inch thick, no more than 1/2 lbs. The lobster was enough for a couple of bites. Corn was my side dish. It was a pretty good meal for the price. I was full after eating it, and did not have to eat anything else. It was good stuff. No complaints. read more

Every time I'm in Reno, I always make sure to grab a delicious & very affordable dinner at the Top Deck Restaurant in Cal Neva.

Top Deck Restaurant - Their Prime Rib dinner, medium rare. - American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Walking into Top Deck felt like a step back into time. It had old school diner vibes. We were sat right away, service was quick and attentive. The food was okay. It was in line for the price. I had ordered the steak entree dinner, medium well. It was more like well/over done, but a small portion of the very center was the correct slight pink finish. The au jus helped to keep it moist and not as tough. The fries were good, the veggies kind of tasted like they were from a can. My husband ordered the prime rib and lobster. He enjoyed the prime rib with the sauce. He asked for medium, which most of it came out as. He was a little disappointed by the lobster, mainly the very small amount he received. He also enjoyed the mashed potatoes with the country gravy. Overall, the food was okay, nothing special. I don't think we'd be back for lunch or dinner, when we think there are some better options in town. But we'd give their breakfast a chance as they had a wide variety listed in the menu. read more

Worst experience in a restaurant ever in my life. Place is empty. We get seated and wait 10 minutes for server to come. We order water with lemon and look at menu. 10 minutes later She comes back to take order but brings no water. We give order. Just onion rings and chicken fingers to share. 15 minutes go by still no water or food and server is nowhere to be found. We get up and leave never receiving anything. Barely even acknowledged. Place is embarrassing. Please do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. read more
