I generally have their BBQ sandwich here and it isn't that bad. The restaurant is actually relatively spacious, but like it has been said, it can get packed at times. The decor is western flavored, which is not my cup of tea, but when you are out west it is something you see a lot of. If you're just wanting to try some place different, this is a good place to go. Otherwise you can go to one of the pizza places or finer restaurants in town.

This is for Katie's restaurant within the Carson Valley Inn. It's a better atmosphere than most casino coffee shops are, with the exception of the keno signs, it doesn't really feel like you are in a casino. They have a wide variety of good food and decent prices. They also have daily specials that you can get at an even better price. The only thing I would like more here, but is a falling of most casino restaurants, is that there are very few windows.

Too many pizza franchise places tend to have pizzas that taste manufactured to me, as if most of the pizza is really not made there on site. Not so with the Pizza Factory, as you will see them toss the dough themselves. I would go to the Pizza Factory over a Shakey's or Pizza Hut. The thing with the Pizza Factory franchise is that one won't exactly be like the other. The one in Bishop tastes different than one in southern California. I usually have a pepperoni-mushroom pizza here, and on occasion, the breadsticks, which I really enjoy.

I have seen Whiskey Creek change over the years since the restaurant used to be two restaurants in one place - Whiskey Creek and Copper Kettle - back in the mid to late 80s. Now it is just Whiskey Creek and I like what it has become. The restaurant has nice decor and is very relaxing. The bar area is separate so those coming here for dining do not have to hear the noise that is common with bars in restaurants. If you have anyone that is a finicky eater, check the menu first, as they don't have the widest selection. But what they do have is all very good. This is a great place to go to take a date or someone special to. On top of it, you have small town service, where the waiters and waitresses have that extra special courtesy that is hard to find in the larger cities.

Good Chinese food at a decent price. The Mandarin Gourmet is an actual restaurant as opposed to many of the Chinese food places that are either fast food places or just a notch above fast food but not quite a restaurant. Still, the Mandarin Gourmet has fast service and is a great place to go for lunch, even on a workday. I've had the sweet and sour chicken. The vegetables were not soggy like you can get at other places, they were very crisp. The Mandarin Gourmet is just west of the Denny's that you will see when you are on US 395.

This is definitely the place to shop. You save more money here then you would at other stores with their cards. Winco doesn't use any cards. There are just a few items that they don't carry that other stores do, but nothing too major. You also have to bag your own groceries, but that is hardly a big deal to me.

Good food; I tend to have their mushroom burger. However, sometimes the meat isn't cooked as much as I think it should be (and I order them well done). The bottomless basket of fries is nice for when you are really hungry. Good service and I usually don't have to wait long to get a table.

Their hamburgers are good (I had the mushroom burger) though I feel they are a little bit overpriced, especially when you have to order fries separately. The restaurant is right out there on the casino floor so you will not be getting a quiet atmosphere and you will have casino smoke drifting around. Despite that, Johnny Rockets isn't that bad of a place.

Definitely a place to go eat if you find yourself in the Gardnerville area. There's a lot to choose from in the menu and you get lots of great food for a good price. The diner itself is clean and the people polite.

The food is good and portions can be fine; I feel that the honey BBQ chicken that I get (at least I think that is the name) is good for the money - 3 pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and garlic bread. <br> I haven't had any problems with their service, so they may have just improved since the other reviews have been done. <br> Desserts - good, though nothing particularly outstanding. I've had the dulche de leche (or as they call it, caramel) cheesecake which was good. I've also had the sizzling apple pie type dessert which was ok, but I'd rather stick to regular apple pie.

Good for breakfast and ok for lunch/dinner. They have unique breakfast items and their lunch/dinner items are standard fare, nothing to really write home about. The service is good at this location, though.

Standard coffee shop type food that occasionally has some really good deals. You'll usually find a 2 for 1 coupon in the local coupon books that are sent in the mail. Keep a look out for their dinner specials, as you'll usually get a good amount of food for a low price.

I actually rarely get their pizza, which is ok, but tend to go for their special which includes fried zuchinni, fries, wings, bread, breaded mushrooms, and veggies. It's very good and is a great idea for a party/get together. This serves 5-6 people without much problem.

I had their chicken caesar salad while my friend had the angelhair pasta. While the food was good, I thought it was a bit overpriced. I would've also liked to have seen a little bit wider selection. It's a bit of an out of the way place and is not on a major road so it wasn't too busy there.

I went to the newly rebuilt Island Buffet at the Peppermill for lunch. I like what they have done - they have given it a nice atmosphere - moving trees, falling water, and the occasional storm show. The food was ok, but nothing really stood out at me as "I've got to come back here and have more of their ______." Based on all of that, I think the price is a bit high and should be lowered a couple of bucks. I'll probably try their breakfast to see how it is, but I only see myself going here once in a rare while (mostly due to the price).

I went to the Black Bear Diner for breakfast. Their breakfast is a bit more expensive than other restaurants, but the food portions are worth it. I had the vegetarian omelette and enjoyed it. The biscuit that comes with it is very good as well. A friend tells me that their biscuits and gravy is the best, which I'll take their word on as I am not a biscuits and gravy fan. The servers were nice and courteous as well. I expect to go back there in the near future.

They have a variety of chicken including sweet and sour, sesame, and lemon as well as lo mein, mixed vegetables, and fried rice. The food is ok but nothing exceptional, though I do like their fried rice. Their service is quick and they offer samples of their chicken.

If you don't mind baking the pizza yourself, Papa Murphy's is the place to go. I've had their pizzas ranging from the pepperoni pizza to the grilled chicken and bacon stuffed pizza. The pepperoni they use is just right; it has enough kick but is not too spicy. Their pineapple tastes sweet and I generally not a big fan on pineapple. Their stuffed pizzas will fill you up! I'd also recommend trying their pepperoni pizza, but instead of using tomato sauce, have them use the garlic sauce instead. It sounds strange but is actually very good! I rarely get pizza from anywhere else these days.

It's best to go here if you are really hungry because, as mentioned before, their portions are huge. I had their equivalent of a turkey dinner; good, but nothing too out of the ordinary except for how much food was on the plate. Someone I was with had one of their salads and enjoyed it to the point that I know they want to go back there for the salad sometime. The atmosphere is quiet, low lit, and basically has an old west - gold rush theme to it. I didn't try their desserts, as I was too full, but I would like to go back there and try them sometime.

Dairy Queen's food is ok, but nothing exciting. Besides, you're more likely to be there for the desserts, which is Dairy Queen's specialty. Their Blizzards are the way to go - plenty of different combinations to try. If all you are wanting is their desserts, though, I'd recommend going to the one at the Meadowood Mall in the food court. Parking can be a pain at the Dairy Queen downtown and traffic can be hectic, especially at night.
