Sierra Gold

Great place to catch a quick value breakfast that's good. Great staff !!! Great service. I have had little service meetings here. It's 50% off 7 to 9 Monday thru Friday. Jennifer killed it with breakfast service. Started with a great welcome and ended with a full belly. There lunch and dinner is always great to

This used to be my go to place to eat on the way home. I have eaten here dozens of times and always counted on excellent service and good food. On Sunday I came in and sat at the bar and got no service. It was not busy, less than 10 people in the entire establishment. After about 5 minutes I left. Service has gone down hill here for some time.

I really enjoyed my visit to Sierra Gold. There’s plenty of parking, and the bar has plenty of seats as well as plenty of tables in the restaurant portion. The bartender was very friendly and attentive and the food was great. They have a vast offering from appetizers, to sandwiches and entrees. My sandwich was massive and you cannot beat the price. This will be a regular stop for me when I’m in town. The location is great, it’s close to multiple hotels and the freeway.

I am honestly shocked this place does not get more traffic. The staff is friendly and quick to respond. The food is good and fulfilling. The place has a relaxing atmosphere. Maybe people should leave the casino and just come here to relax before everything goes to the house.

I got the Greek salad which comes with romaine lettuce, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, peppers, peperoncini, feta cheese and a lemon vinaigrette. The salad was a good size and filled me up quickly. Staff was extremely friendly, greeted as soon as I sat down by the bartender, the waitress came shortly after. Pricing was very fair considering the size of the plate!

Great for a stop in or team event. Have a back room for TV watching - you can also reserve it. Wonderful happy hour prices.

I've been here quite a few times. Food is decent, not out of this world, but good. Service is really great though. If they mess up your order they immediately rectify the situation. Atmosphere is nice, pretty much always a flat screen in view, no matter where you're sitting. I reccomend the Miner's Breakfast, especially if you're super hungry. Also the half off breakfast deal before 10 is pretty sweet.

Good food and good service. It has a nice sports bar vibe to it and of course there are many seats at the bar with gaming screens. I didn't partake in the specials but paid $21.50 for a 25 oz Guinness and a cheesesteak with fries. I'd like this spot for football season.

We had breakfast/lunch at Sierra Gold (located on South Meadows Parkway) yesterday.When we entered the establishment, both the bar and dining areas were fairly busy but we found an empty six-top table to seat our five-person party almost immediately. Our lovely server, Madeline, soon appeared to drop off menus and take drink orders. Once she returned with our drinks (iced teas, coffee and iced water), we ordered our entrees: a bowl of clam chowder and a meatball appetizer, a Sierra Gold breakfast platter with an extra order of sausage patty, 2 orders of the chicken fried steak breakfast platter, and an order of a 10-piece bone-in Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Wing and fries plate. Our food all arrived with a minimal amount of wait, every entree was visually enticing, the portions were generous, every dish smelled marvelous and tasted good; some of our dishes were a little under-seasoned for our liking but our entire party enjoyed all our food and happily devoured nearly every morsel on our plates. The price of our meal was pretty reasonable but the best part of our dining experience was the service: Madeline was vivacious and hospitable, she always had a warm and friendly demeanor during our entire meal and served every table at her station with an earnest smile. I've eaten at this establishment several times in the past and service is always impeccable; all the ladies we've interacted throughout the years have been welcoming, professional and super-nice. The menu have changed throughout the years but the food has been consistently delicious and our dining experiences have often been enjoyable; yesterday's visit was no exception.

I love their simple tasty tacos. The sandwiches I've had have been delicious. Lots of yummy stuff on the menu!

I really forget how good this place is! Wonderful selection and love how many specials they have! Don't understand at all why our server just upped and left without telling us that her shift had ended but our second server was great!!! Come in and get some really good grub!!

Feel terrible for the servers and bartenders here that have to put up with a kitchen that puts out crappy food and don't give a crap. My wife and I ordered 2 French Dip sandwiches and this is what we got The "shaved beef" was pressed into a patty that resembled a hamburger patty. No cooked onions and no cheese whatsoever. The dip had virtually no flavor and the fries & tater tots were cold. This used to be a great place to have lunch, but now it's just a watering hole for a cold beer. Need to redo the menu and get some kitchen staff that actually gives a crap about what food they are pushing out. Only reason I gave it 2 stars was because of the bartender who was embarrassed and did the best she could. Get your poop in a group Sierra Gold!

Last night after work I was too tired to cook. I met my boyfriend at Sierra Gold to watch football. have a cocktail and eat a casual dinner. We talked for awhile and didn't order right away. The severs were wonderful and gave us lots of space Eventually we ordered a pizza, which was very good. I would have preferred for it to come out to the table popping hot, but it came to the table like warm. Pizza was still good and we enjoyed our evening

Service was HORRIBLE! I entered the establishment with another separate party out side of my party. Immediately upon the other party sitting down, they were provided menus and the opportunity to order drinks. I noticed a better seating option was available but it needed cleaning . Once we were provided menus, I asked that the other table be cleaned so that me and my party could fit there comfortably. We sat there for 15 minutes, and the table was still dirty, still waiting to be asked for our drink choices and the people that arrived the same time that we did had already placed their food order. The table was still dirty. We still had not placed an order. I walked out right past the server and she never acknowledged if we were leaving or if there was an issue I will never go to this place again. The breakfast menu only consisted of 4 plates, no pancakes or waffles. We were at the establishment at 10AM I had not been here in over 10 years so I was expecting the great experience of the past visit but unfortunately that was not the case. A waste of my time and energy.

Have to admit, their food, service and atmosphere have all improved considerably. No one is ever going to consider Sierra Gold as fine dining, but overall the experience my wife and I had here makes us want to return again and again. Happy hour pricing is better than many other places I've been to recently.

I didn't have much but I had the raspberry lemon drop and it was so good I came on Yelp just to say this!! 10 stars for this drink.

I can only vouch for their breakfast. They have good food, but it's even better when it's half off before 10am. Their breakfast burrito turns into two meals me for. Wait staff has always been nice and I've never had to wait to be seated. Enjoy.

Service was poor due no concern on extended time for serving food. Simple burger that was missing cheese as requested. The steak and frie, the steak was tough and lots of hard fat. The attitude was don't know what happen oh well. No apologies or concern. Called manager over and she offered excuses of some things take longer then other. Interesting when other diners after us with similar items received them sooner. Manager concluded with let me see what I can do and took another 20 minutes. Total time wasted an hour forty five minutes. Another Frank guy manager came to refute scenario total bs.

Surprisingly good restaurant! Always thought it was a little local casino but finally tried it. It's more like a cozy restaurant/sports bar with some video games at the bar. Note- I didn't see the back room so maybe more gaming back there - idk? Fantastic turkey sandwich and burger! Service was friendly and prompt. We will most definitely be back!

A group of friends and I came for happy hour. They offer Half off all drinks and some food specials as well. Our server was very pleasant and she even came over to check if we wanted another round before happy hour ended. As far as the ambiance, I couldn't quite figure out if it was supposed to be a sports bar or if there was any kind of theme, but it didn't really bother me--just worth mentioning. I definitely would come again.

My friend and I ate there today, and both of us had a Club Sandwich: It was heck of a meal for the price and the service was great too.You can bet we will go back again.

Happy hours is from 4-7 daily. There are plenty of choices from Grey Goose to Kettle One Martinis. Good selection of beers on draft. The best part of all is that it is HALF OFF. They offer happy hour food specials starting from $6,$7 and $9. The portions are regular size. It was pretty good for the price. It was pretty packed and the ambiance is a bar and pub vibe. Very clean and organized. The service was excellent. The drinks kept coming when our glasses were low. Plenty of parking. A local gem!

We got the nachos with steak and beer. The nachos were good, crispy, cheesy and spice level was about a 6. The steak was ground meat with seasoning. It was not the best, but not bad and great with beer. Beer were good. I got a Hefe, put in a couple of orange slices of oranges. Our server, I'm sorry I forgot your name, was great! She got our drinks in quickly. Our food came quickly. She checked in on us every now and then, to make sure we're ok. I give the service an 11 out of 10. And there are pool tables :) overall, this place is an a+ place to hang out in. Servers are great and atmosphere is not bad.

What a fun place! There's opportunity for video gambling at the bar, play pool, sit and eat at tables (low or high tops) while watching sports, etc. It's very open and airy. Staff are all friendly and helpful. Food is good and they have great happy hour and breakfast specials. We ordered a couple appetizers (pretzel bites and the pork belly bites & sausage). Both were good. The cheese sauce for the pretzel is great and they should give you two cups of that sauce. We also tried the ahi tuna tacos which come in a trio. Quite tasty in a crispy wonton with some guacamole on the bottom, drizzled with some spicy Mayo and furikaki. The grilled Italian sandwich was delicious and the onion rings were on point. We enjoy this local place and we will continue to go back because it's fun and friendly.

Sierra Gold is a little hideaway. I never think of going and usually pass it up but every time I go my meal and the service is very good. The prices are very reasonable, with the exception of the chicken wings. Atmosphere is old time Reno, in my opinion and the men will surely appreciate the outfits on the attractive and friendly servers. They make other women envious.

Sierra Gold has an absolutely amazing chicken sandwich! I have only been there once but so good. The waitress was phenomenal and fast. Food came out quickly. It has a very nice bar with seating around it so you could definitely have a quiet meeting with people or hang at the bar. All around great place and I look forward to being back.

It was run of the mill for me. Service was average Food was okay Ambiance I mean there's not much honestly...

I wish I could rate this place lower than one star. My wife and I walked in around 8:30pm for dinner. There were a handful of other customers in the restaurant. The sign posted said to seat yourself (which we did) and we waited, and waited and WAITED to see if a server would come by and greet us. And, NO ONE did. There were two gentlemen behind the bar and although they both saw us, they did not motion for a server to come to our table. There was also one waitress who was having a great time laughing it up with four patrons in the lounge area by us but she certainly did not care, either. What made it worse was that even after sitting and waiting for what seemed like an unbearably long time, as we got up to leave, the same waitress (and one of the bartenders) saw us getting up from our table and just didn't even bother to come up to attempt to stop us from leaving (I'm guessing she probably thought "Good riddance!"). Absolutely horrible service and a depressing environment.

Sierra Gold is a great place for football. The staff, food, and beer are great here. It can be busy but not packed where you can't get a seat. There are plenty of TVs for watching multiple games. I just tried the Ahi Taco appetizers, and they were on point.

My wife and I recently decided on Sierra Gold for dinner. We had a couple of bad experiences several years back which kept us away for a while but as of late, Sierra Gold has turned into one of our favorite local spots for dinner. I felt it was about time to post a review. First, I want to commend Alexa. She was outstanding, prompt, communicated effectively, understood our dietary restrictions, and was just overall pleasant. About the food, we started with the Baked Soft Pretzel Bites which came out warm, buttery, soft, and chewy. Next, my wife had a modified Turkey Melt. It was fresh and delicious and came out exactly how we ordered it. It can't be overstated that we truly appreciate when we order something modified due to dietary restrictions, and the server gets it, doesn't have attitude, and the kitchen appreciates the request and honestly works to accommodate. I ordered the Pub Club on rye with a salad. My go-to order, who doesn't love the tried and true club! Always dependable:-) It was fresh, with lightly toasted bread that was still warm when I received it. Very tasty sandwich! Keep it up Sierra Gold!

Wings were not bad. Pretty generic Buffalo wings but it did hit the spot and they were reasonably priced. I enjoyed the Angry burger. It had some nice spiciness and I added some jalapeños to this as well. The Sriracha addition to the bacon was absolutely delicious. The bacon was crispy with a nice peppery flavor. Come hungry to enjoy A big juicy half pound burger with avocado and bacon. I do want to come for breakfast and check out the 50% off deals..

Highly recommend the southwest chicken salad. It was very delicious and was so fresh. The establishment was clean and inviting. Service was excellent. We sat at the bar and the bartender were very friendly and super attentive.

We had the best waitress for our large group during Super Bowl. They have a nice room in the back that can be used for large parties. Unfortunately this bar was not prepared for a Super Bowl weekend. Out of numerous items, long drinks, amaretto, ice cream, zin.. unfortunately unprepared for a pretty big weekend. Can't really rate this place well. I will say the server was fun, very apologetic and did a great job.

John is a very personable person. While yes, it's his job to be nice to customers, he also seems to find connections with each one. I was difficult with my food order and he was more than accommodating. I asked for scrambled eggs with cheese and the cheese came on top instead of mixed in - however that could have been "user error" - I didn't specify I wanted it mixed in. The eggs were dry. However, the Saturday morning vibes here are sleepy but perfect for a solid drink! I do love the evening menu here! Pretzel bites are a must!

I had Sierra Gold maybe 4 or 5 years ago and LOVED IT. I probably shouldn't have come back so that I could have kept my fond memories. This time I walked in and didn't really feel welcome. One of the bartenders walked by me, asked those next to me if they wanted anything and then walked by me again to the other side of the bar. I ordered my food prior to arriving so luckily I wasn't in there for long but after seeing my food, I felt even more disappointed. The chicken tenders I got were just....depressing. It looked and tasted like it was just out of a box and microwaved. I got maybe 7-8 fries to go with it. The area to watch sports looked cool though!

Decent food but over priced and not the greatest happy hour. Small beer is $7.50. Dark atmosphere.

Methed out bartender couldn't keep up with 5 people in the whole bar. Brought menu for food and never asked for order then took menu. Lay off the the glue

*Post-Shutdown Review* Hubby and I stopped in for a quick bite and glad we did! Social distancing is practiced. Staff wore masks. (We didn't have masks but this was before Gov. Sisolak's mandate, so we will definitely wear masks next time!). The menu appeared limited, probably due to Covid-19, and I've enjoyed other items here before. Regardless, we both ordered the Southwest Chicken salad and we both enjoyed it - yummy with just right amount of spice! Our server was friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was casual. I definitely recommend this place and can't wait to try something else next time!

I felt unwelcome the second I came. I felt like a burden to the waitress. I was going to shake it until she verbally degraded my parents who were picking up my daughter. She yelled at them several times to not go to the section of seating (because they were having a large party coming ) even though they were just picking my daughter up. She made me feel ashamed I had my 8 month old daughter there. I hated the experience and will not be coming back with my family. She made me feel like it was an inconvenience she had to work.

Came in for happy hour and it was great! all drinks behind bar are 50% off! Got the flat bread buffalo chicken from the happy hour menu along with the loaded potato skins, With 4 drinks and it came out less than $40 bucks, pretty good if you ask me!

Not in my usual territory but in the area for errands. The last time I was here I was hosting an Esteban Happy Hour, which was one of the best ones we had. There's a fabulous happy hour with discounts on drink and food. I recommend being on the wonderful patio if weather permits. This time weather did not permit and it was 9 am. So I met up with Linda to enjoy breakfast happy hour with the entire morning menu offered at half price. Everything from pancakes, eggs to chicken fried steak. The plate was overflowing with potatoes, two eggs and a large perfectly crispy piece of chicken fried steak. At half price for $6.50 was enough for more than one meal. Service was polite and prompt, just like the previous visit. The place is always clean.

Sierra Gold Tavern is my go-to place for great breakfast at half-price between 6-10am everyday. From $8 steak & eggs to $5 breakfast burritos, the portions are big enough that you'd feel full when you leave (that is if you eat all of it). The entrees come w/ eggs and their house potatoes (similar to potato chips) that I have come to like very much. The potatoes have the right amount of crispiness and are cooked w/ onions, red and green bell peppers. The burritos are huge (similar to Super Burrito) but they have the guacamole and salsa on the side and the house potatoes. They are also kid friendly, you can take kids in there as long as they don't sit at the bar. lol

Sierra Gold is our favorite local joint in South Reno. This restaurant has quite a large menu, but we always go for the same reason: happy hour! Our favorites are the 1/2 off pizzas, which have a really thin gluten free crust. We don't usually order gluten free anything, but after eating the pizza so many times and learning that it was gluten free, we were surprised. All drinks are also 50% off. If we miss happy hour we order the Cobb Salad and the bucket of boneless wings with the nitro sauce... delish!

Been going to this place for years for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Can't do much better than Denise as a bartender and a good ram on the wall. The food is always good and there is a game on all the time.

I was looking for a place to enjoy breakfast and mimosas. Until 10AM the breakfasts are all 50% off. That was awesome because my breakfast entree was only $5. It was a good value for $5. For $10? Probably not. The eggs were standard but the stand out were the potatoes- they were thin and crispy. Like a breakfast Pringle! Pretty cool. Portion size was small for $10 and I guess generous for the half price time frame! The tricky part was that we drank our way into a larger bill than I saw coming. They didn't offer pitchers of mimosas as some more breakfast oriented establishments do. So... each mimosa was $8. Ouch. For the size and strength, this wasn't worth the price. The half price savings on breakfast was washed away super quick. If the food and drink quality had been better, and the service more on point, this would have been worth the money. The waitress was pretty overwhelmed so we waited a decent amount of time between rounds of drinks. Our meals did come out quite quick though - before we were even done with our first round of drinks. This will not be on my top choice for food or drinks but walking distance from my new digs keeps it as a back pocket option.

It's been a while since I've yelped - this visit reminded me that it's time. We came in for a late night dinner after a long road trip. The best decision, ever. Garrett helped us and was masterful - dropped the menus and came back with drinks, was interrupted by new customers right after we blurted our order but remembered to come back and confirm, "Was that medium rare or . . .?" He left us just long enough to let us drink and eat but never too long and I think he might have been running the whole place! So we ordered the Sierra Gold burger and a beer. Wagyu beef (not the baby sized patty we were expecting) w cheese, pepper bacon, and mushrooms. Dressings and condiments on the side with the fries and cole slaw. We were so hungry and it was so delicious, we never got a pic - sorry. I know what you're thinking but just do it! You won't regret it.

Sad this happened. Went in for a bloody mary and breakfast. The bloody mary was the absolute worst thing, flat gross. Asked for a menu (forgot my glasses and couldn't read small print ie: my phone) bartender put the QR code by me. No! I asked for a menu, will not be returning for a long time as this is not ok, I pay for this???

Alrighty ladies and gentleman I feel that I shall update this review as i now have more experience with the place. My previous review going over the smoking/bar portion of the place still stands. Solid bed, good food, nice bartenders, decent ambiance. This review covers the outside seating area near the fire pit. I had a going away party with co-workers last week. There were about 10 of us. The outdoor area was empty besides us. They have quite a few tables and barstools as well as a TV and a huge fire pit with couches and loungers. It's covered so it's not a problem if it's raining or snowing. The food was really good this time around and everyone had fun drinking and bs-ing around the fire with drinks. This place would rock if you had a pound obnoxious group of twenty. Smoking is allowed on this patio as well. My constructive criticism is that the bar tenders did not come out to take drink orders often enough. They were not that busy inside so I can only conclude hat they figured it wasn't worth the walk since there were only ten of us. We had to go in twice to ask for more drinks. Other than that I had a swell time I would for sure bring a larger group to this place for a celebration/party/event etc.,

We go to Sierra Gold, every time, after going to the gun range. The food is always good and the employees are always great. Took a friend there a couple days ago; he had never been there. We sat at the bar, and Denise was the bartender. She was so funny and wonderful, made our visit perfect. People like her will keep me returning. Thanks for hiring Denise!

My husband and I have eaten at this hidden gem in South Reno on several occasions and had an excellent experience every time! The ambience is nice and pretty typical of a bar or casino. Low lighting, full bar, player's lounge, slot machines at the bar, and TVs all around. They also play overhead music, but unlike a casino it is much quieter and there's no smoke in the air. I have only used the restrooms once, but they were very clean. You seat yourself and can order food at the bar or sit at tables. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I don't know who their chef is, but he/she definitely deserves some recognition! They take normal bar fare, put a twist on it, and serve it with great presentation. Almost every meal has been cooked to perfection and is bursting with flavor! Tonight my husband ordered steak and eggs. He ordered the steak medium well, but it came out closer to medium rare. Our server noticed immediately and offered to replace it. My husband declined as he was full from the appetizer, and knew when he reheated the leftover steak at home it would cook further. Our server still gave us a 20% discount and a sincere apology. The steak was well seasoned (no need for steak sauce here!) and aside from a little gristle was very tender, juicy, and delicious. The potatoes were slices and cooked with onions and peppers. My husband thoroughly enjoyed them. I ordered the Mediterranean steak salad made into a wrap (all of their salads can be made into wraps). It was delicious! Not a whole lot of steak which might have made a wrap harder to eat, but the steak was very good just like my husband's, and in this case, cooked medium just like I ordered it. The lettuce was not drowned in dressing. I'm glad I had half leftover for lunch tomorrow! I ordered onion rings as my side and they were are worth every cent of the extra $1 charge. Crispy, golden brown, and tasty with a side of ranch. We shared the Seared Ahi appetizer. It was seared perfectly and was very fresh. The wasabi sauce drizzled on the plate had a nice flavor and kick to it. The soy sauce added a nice bit of flavor too. It was served with pickled cucumbers and carrots which I could have made a meal out of those alone they were so good! The coleslaw the ahi was served on was also very good. My only criticism would be a few too many sesame seeds. Our server was very attentive, kept our drink glasses full, and apologized when the entrees took a bit longer than normal to come out of the kitchen. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. It is definitely on our list of favorite places!

So I have been here a couple times and the food is always consistent and tasty. Our server Denise was amazing and had fantastic customer service. She took the time to assist us with finding some great menu options for each one of us. I had the chicken bacon ranch sliders, we had Ablta which was yummy and a cheessteak sandwich. For sure we will be here again abs request Denise!!

Over our last few visits their service has gotten better so time for an update! Service has been friendly and prompt. Still mainly visiting for their happy hour, both breakfast and at dinner time. The breakfast specials are a great value and tasty which keep us coming back. Weekends during happy hour get really busy, try to arrive a little early. For dinner, they have some happy hour food specials although not as good of a deal as breakfast. Their spicy chicken bites are quite tasty, pizzas are hit n miss depending on the chef. Beer selection is really long but only a handful of seasonals that rotate. No players card required for the happy hour deals anymore, thank goodness because that was a pain. Glad they've started to turn this place around!

Eli's 10 year old review: "They had no kids menu. Really good service. The burger was very tasty. The fries were very good as well."

Good food we had great service. This is a restaurant but has a bar type atmosphere. I would not hesitate to stop in again for a bite

Great food. Great happy hour deals, but our waitress must have been overwhelmed since she was extremely rude to us. At least, that's what we thought until the waitresses AND the manager knew who we were talking about without us telling them who our server was. I am also a server, I could NEVER get away with being that rude to customers... and apparently this is a regular occurrence for her. Do I have to try and defend how polite we were while we were there?? What a joke. Anyway, my suggestion would be to fire someone not fit for the job and hire someone new.

Late night dining options in Reno, especially south Reno, are few and far between. After 10pm, it seems like all the kitchens in Reno close down (even though the alcohol is still flowing). Anyway, that's how we landed in Sierra Gold this weekend. Post holiday party, we decided we were all still a bit hungry and thought we'd stop in for second happy hour. Whoops - we can at 10pm and second happy hour doesn't start until 11pm. Oh well.. we were here and hungry and decided to see what Sierra Gold had to offer us. I ordered a caesar salad with chicken. The waitress suggested that I do the salad with cajun chicken - did someone say cajun? - done! And she was right! For late night bar food, I was impressed with the quality of the food. Fresh romain lettuce, a nicely cooked cajun chicken breast, and plenty of grated (not the powdered kind) parmesan. The dressing was not homemade, but it was good quality caesar. The salad was a little heavily dressed for my preference, but I managed. For a late night meal option, Sierra Gold is pretty decent!

We're here on New Years Eve and I just HAD to post: Management...? What the hell is wrong with you??? You schedule a "NYE Happy Hour" from 11pm-2am and only staff ONE person to handle the entire floor?? There are over 30 covers right now & this guy (Jake) is totally alone!!! I gotta give him props bc he's busting his ass (and doing a damn good job, I might add) but this isn't doing anyone any favors!! Give this guy a raise! If you did this to me, I'd tell you to kiss my ass and walk out!! The only reason this post got ANY stars is bc of this awesome guy. Management...you should seriously be ashamed of yourselves!!!
