Food and service was great! We will definitely be back again.
Great service! The sandwiches(ham and cheese and chicken sandwich) and appetizers(pork bahn mi were really good.
A fun place but if you're hard of hearing and wish to visit, this is not the venue. Great bar and loved the martini that was balanced just right. The food was quite tasty, but the meat came with some unchewable bits. Still a good meal and fun venue.
Absolutely loved the food and service! We will definitely be back!! The food is amazing!!
Food was good, service was super slow... not sure if it was because of Covid or something else but even our order taking was slow and server just did not seem to be super responsive.
We had a great lunch and the food was fantastic. I highly recommend the short rib grilled cheese!
It was a little awkward as we were placed in a back room and felt somewhat disconnected from our waitress. Previously we have eaten out on the patio and I enjoyed it more.
Food was delicious!!
The food was delish. I had the Rock Candy Shortribs. They were melt in your mouth. The crispy fried shallots on top were great. My husband had the Elk Rack and thought it was great too.
Extensive menu with a lot of choice. The wedge salad was one of the best I have ever had!
Amazing experience
Great staff and good local food.
I ordered the wedge salad with roasted turkey and it was horrible. The Irish nachoes were overcooked and you could barely taste the cheese or bacon while it was overloaded on top with sour cream.
misleading description. Menu was limited and food wasn't great. Server was lovely but she can't help the food she's serving
Great menu for clean eating. The burger without the bun and the steak salad were the best choices for lunch.
Second visit. Great atmosphere, food and service.
Good burger and nice staffs
Awesome Pork Tomahawk....
Food was bland. Fries were good. Cleanliness poor. Menus visibly soiled. Door handle dirty. Found a hair on my plate. Caesar salad did not have much flavor. Banh mi was doused in Mayo. Poor belly not cooked. Kimchi was large chunks of veggies that were rubbery. Would not return
Overall great experience!
Loved the food. The pork belly eggrolls were delicious. The mac and cheese was amazing. Will definitely go back! We want to try everything on the menu!
The food was amazing! We got the short rib poutine and while it sounds bizarre - it was delicious. I opted for the schnitzel and was not disappointed! The portions are huge and well worth the price. The noise level was a little loud when we were in there and the ambiance isn’t overly romantic or fancy but still a great place for dinner!
Never heard of this place until now. But I must say it is legit. If you haven’t gone give it a shot. Won’t disappoint.
My two critiques for this restaurant would be number one the servers need to lower their masks to talk to customers, my wife misunderstood what the server told her when she asked about the soup. He said something that I could not even understand and then ran it together with the specials. And number two please check your glasses both mine and my wife’s were cracked pretty bad.
Other than those two everything else was pretty good
Excellent food and service! Our favorite restaurant in Reno and we will be back soon.
The meal was outstanding, just wish the service matched the meal.
This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. The food was excellent and Courtney (our server) was pleasant and quite attentive. They have some interesting and unusual items that are quite tasty. I had the jalapeno bratwurst with pickled salad and added a side of fries. I will be back and highly recommend this place.
the wife had the patty melt and said it was exceptionally good.
I had the short rib - which I've had before and it was excellent.
Can't wait for better weather - and sitting outside!!
Excellent restaurant! Great food and service. Catering mostly to locals with fresh, modern American cuisine. I visited Reno twice in the past two months and other than skiing, this restaurant was the highlight of both my trips.
Everything was excellent! Loved the pork chop and the cocktails were amazing.
THANKS FOR MAKING OUR BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION EXTRA SPECIAL! Oh my gosh - PROPS to our sweet waitress (I apologize, I never got her name!) She was wonderful!
The short rib grilled cheese will blow your mind.....along with the pork belly bau......AND THE LEMON POUND CAKE (I don't even like lemon!)
Surprisingly tasty treats from little spot. Really glad we went ;)
The dinner was excellent, the drinks outstanding, and the service was superior. I would recommend Washoe Public House to all of my friends.
The food is always great and it was nice to be able to sit on the patio to stay extra safe in the era of COVID. Always one of my favorite spots in Reno.
Great food & drinks. Perfect lunch spot!
Awesome birthday dinner...Revision IPA draft, perfectly juicy medium local grass fed burger, waffle fries, s’mores desert. Wife, kids loved their meals too, great service.
Truly a highlight of where to dine in Reno. Food was amazing, combinations of flavors and preparation that takes an imagination just to come up with. I had 3 appetizers and left with one of them in a box because I couldn't eat it all... So good and service was very good (except she couldn't pick out my food for me...lol). Definitely be going back.
The Venison patty melt was great especially on the gluten-free bread. I think the pricing was a bit high for the menu, but I like this place and will probably return next time I'm in Reno.
Great spot with casual yet interesting food options. Friendly and helpful staff. Outdoor patio seating in nice weather (no heatlamps).
We had a great experience and lunch today. It was our first time there and we can’t wait to go again!
Service was slow and inattentive with an attitude. We both had sandwiches which were greasy and unremarkable. Maybe dinner would be better?
