    This place was recommended by a local

    They don't have anything under control. No hostess, service SLOW and inefficient, food dreadful!! See pictures of undercooked bacon, burned biscuits, undercooked potatoes swimming in grease and what they laughing call gravy. Place still decorated like the French bistro that actually worked. Waitress had the nerve to complain when we tried to leave when the food was barely touched, just shifted for pictures. Total failure!

    Woodett's Diner This is a review for my dining experience at Woodett's Diner. SERVICES: We were seated right away The server was attentive They serve breakfast and lunch 7:00am-2:00pm MENU The prices were fair PANCAKE COMBO Served until 11am -pancakes, eggs, and your choice of meat I ordered over medium eggs and sausage links -sausage links were good BISCUITS AND GRAVY -There was not a lot of sausage chunks in the gravy, instead there were a lot of herbs -As for the biscuit, when I bit into it...I was expecting a buttery, thick bite but it fell short...I felt like it was a pancake texture HOUSE POTATOES -Nothing special -I requested it to be crispy, but it was bland-no seasoning and it was just shredded potatoes ******BILL Beware! There is a 50cent charge for a to go box -I was surprised with that additional charge -What if you order a big entree and want to eat it as leftovers? -Why are you being so wasteful? -We noticed there were tons of plates with food on it when the diners left and they were cleaning the tables, now I know why -I already paid for my food and now you're going to charge me for a dinky to-go box so that I can bring home my food that I didn't finish?! SUGGESTIONS: -Disclose to your patrons that there is a 50cent charge for a to-go box -Add more meat to the gravy mixture All in all I was underwhelmed with my experience at Woodett's. I don't see myself going back again.

    Food was reasonably priced for how much food you receive, & the house coffee was super delish! He had the "Pavement Scraper." I was impressed by the lack of grease I saw on his plate, despite there being 4 meats, including chorizo. He said flavor was good, just hoped for a little salsa for more moisture. (However, the table did have Cholula or Tabasco, if desired.) For my Omelette Savoyarde, potatoes were thin-sliced, cooked beautifully, & complimented the gruyere. The bacon was also finely chopped with no major, fatty chunks, which I appreciated. I didnt realize since the omelet contained potatoes, I was also getting more potatoes on the side! However, no worries, as I took those home for leftovers because the omelet was plenty to fill me up. Overall, our experience was pleasant.

    Special: powdered cinnamon roll

    Woodett's is a delightful gem that we eagerly anticipate visiting whenever we're in the area. If only we lived closer, it would definitely become our weekly breakfast spot! Our journey here began with a recommendation from a vet at Carson Valley Animal Hospital, and every dish we've tried has been nothing short of impressive. And let me tell you, their cinnamon rolls are an absolute must-try!

    OMG..... a real fine dinning experience! Service, quality of meal preparation & 5 STAR FOOD! Amazing! The service staff, wonderful, served the woman first, cleared plates as finished each course ! Everything was choreograph to a T! The Chef & wife came out to meet & thank everyone for coming, what an experience! Fine dining at it 's best ! Outstanding! (Woodett's Bistro's) once a month evening dinning! Do not miss this Jewel

    Kids Pancakes
    Deejay D.

    A friend invited me to meet him at Woodett's Diner for breakfast a few days ago. I've been on this biscuits and gravy kick for about a month now and decided to order the biscuits and gravy. It was good. One biscuit was on the dry side but they gave me plenty of gravy to soak up the biscuits. The biscuits and gravy came with a side of eggs and two strips of bacon. It was good and filling. Even though I tried, I couldn't finish it all. My kid ordered off the kid's menu and got the pancakes. He really liked it. He always likes pancakes though. The place was clean and the service was excellent. The next time I'm in the area, I'll try something different. I've been told that their huevos rancheros was good. Maybe I'll give that a try on my next visit.

    My "chorizo hash" contained only small slivers of overcooked dry tasteless chorizo. Great service. Nice staff. Menu planner fail.

    Your husband was supposed to ask you if you had a 2x Woodett's tee shirt. Charcoal or black. If so we will be stopping by on Saturday am to check. Thanks Tim & Donna Diaz?

    Donna, my apologies, my husband forgot about the shirts, but tomorrow morning, (Saturday) he will drop off the shirts at Woodetts.

    Are they dog friendly?

    Yes we are.

    Do they still have homemade cornbeef hash?

    It’s not on our actual menu, but we can always do it.

Although the bakery and deli are connected to the casino next door, you don't hear casino noise inside the restaurant. However, when the casino door opens, cigarette smoke can drift into the dining area. Also, the restrooms are located through the casino. This wasn't a major issue for us, but it could be uncomfortable for anyone sensitive to cigarette smoke, those with asthma, or families with small children. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. They also offer specialty coffees, Italian sodas, and an impressive selection of desserts, making it hard to leave without a treat! The restaurant is charmingly decorated and has a cozy feel. During our visit, the waitstaff was a bit short-handed, so a few tables hadn't been cleared right away. Even so, the staff apologized, worked quickly to make room for us, and provided excellent service despite being busy. We'll definitely be back to Schat's- the delicious food and incredible desserts completely won us over!

We got carried away and was a little surprised total cost after we picked a few items and 2 sandwiches. Worth checking out is the day-old section with 50% off that is in the left corner as you face the display counter. Sandwiches have quality meats and everything tastes fresh. Recommend the BLT; thickness and flavor bacon was perfect! Cold pastrami was a good quality meat. Note: only the fries come standard sandwiches. The other sides (onion rings, cup soup) are $2.00 upgrade. We tried the apricot coffee cake ($12.45). It was good (fresh and moist) but couldn't find anything special. I would have expected more pieces of the fruit .

Waitress were super helpful, kind and friendly. They were joking back and forth with us and in good spirits. Moe was very hospitable and joked right along with us. Another girl and I ordered a cold brew coffee, a couple other girls added that to their breakfast because it was so delicious and MASSIVE. All the portion sizes were also MASSIVE. I had the Traditional Eggs benedict. I have no complaints about the flavor, presentation or accompanying fruit cup. The sauce was the perfect portion for the meal and my food wasn't swimming in sauce. My one critique is that my eggs were a little too well done. I don't like my yolks completely runny, but these had absolutely no run to them. (see accompanying picture). If/when I go back, I'll definitely ask if that is standard and if so, to undercook them a bit so there's a little run to the yolk. Other than that minor detail this plaice is still 10/10. It's worth the drive out of Reno for this little gem tucked right off the main highway/street in Minden/Gardnerville.

I wanted some breakfast without having to go to an IHOP or Denny's. The place is TINY. Mostly 2-top tables and a handful of booths and bar seating. If you are seated at a regular table, expect to be friendly with the guests next to you. It's such tight quarters that you can't help but start having conversations with the people next to you. I got the pork chops with eggs and hash browns. You get 2 decent sized bone-in pork chops. They were well seasoned and juicy. Really good. My son got a pancake from the kid's menu that was shaped like a Mickey Mouse head. It was huge. I got a sausage patty to go with it. This was the only sub-par item as it was dry and lifeless. I feel like it was sitting on the flat top or under a heat lamp for hours. It wasn't worth eating. Other than that, the food we had over all was good. The service was OK. The morning we went, it seemed like there was only 1 server for the entire restaurant. She was taking orders,serving, AND bussing tables. So, the quality of service wasn't the best. She was rushed. Glad I was able to try a local spot.

Stay away from the waffles and bagel sandwiches. I ordered a waffle for my son and expected a large, typical pressed waffle. The waffle he was served was about a quarter in size of one of those large waffles and tasted like a glazed donut was pressed in a waffle machine. I had asked for syrup and powdered sugar on the side as we try to limit sugar for our toddler and I was appalled that this waffle was literally a glazed donut. My husband and I ordered the classic, but paid $1 extra each to turn it into a bagel sandwich. The bagel was incredibly dry, the bagel was bacon bits that were falling off the bagel, the cheese was shredded cheese that was not even fully melted, and there were a few pieces of scrambled egg that were ok. It was actually inedible for me. I ate the egg and some of the bacon bits with a fork, but threw out the rest as it was not worth eating. I was incredibly disappointed with this breakfast. You order at the counter and they don't even bring out your food to you. It is a decent sized space and they have indoor and outdoor seating.
