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?
I love everything about Washoe Public House. The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. This is my favorite restaurant in Reno!
Really good food, pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff.
We made reservations and were seated immediately. The service was great and the food was wonderful
The food and sevice were both great. Thank you as always. I really enjoy your restaurant. Have visited many times. Lots of windows with good airflow.
Be aware all meat entrees are cooked Med Rare, not my preference so that was a bummer. Outstanding Brussel sprouts. Hubby loved his meal, elk chops.
Overall experience was great but our server hands down made the experience A++!
Great service, selection and food!
Took friends that had never been there before
Food is outstanding, absolutely wonderful. Staff is very friendly but server attention was an issue for drinks. However past experiences didn’t share that same trait. Overall still a favorite
Great food. Nice patio.
The food was hands down absolutely amazing!
Loved the selection and presentation. Service was stellar. Elk chop perfect. Want to come back and try other menu items.
Great food, relaxed environment. Love this place!!
Slow Kitchen Time-took 30-40 minutes to receive a burger(with no explanation), Poor Service- was never offered a drink refill during the 1.5 hour stay, High Quality Food-Grass fed burger and fries. No reason to return.
We made a reservation for 7:30 for an outside table using OpenTable, but when we arrived, the hostess sat the last available table outside, even though we were early. We didn’t understand the point of making a reservation, but having to wait for a “first-come, first-served” patio table, but we decided to wait and got seated about 15 mins later. To their credit, the hostess apologized and gave us a table with plenty of space, so no big deal. I do think that when one goes out of their way to reserve an outdoor table, there should be a note/list so these types of things don’t happen, but it didn’t ruin our evening.
As for the food and service, they were both outstanding. The pork chop was delicious and so was the elk.
Overall, we would gladly return the next time we’re in Reno area because we found it to be a great value and experience overall.
Made a reservation and specified outdoor seating. When we arrived they said there were no tables outside but could seat us inside. So we had to wait until a table was available outside. Servers were slow because there seemed to be no coordination of the staff and no bussers.
The food tasted great, we were able to sit on the patio and enjoy being outside and the servers were pleasant and working hard.
Restaurant continues to be one of our favorite. Food is always very good and the Double Elk Chop is amazing. Sat on their patio for the first time and really enjoyed how quiet it was.
