We stopped in for lunch. The wait was over an hour after saying it would be only 30-40 minutes, but they gave us an electronic beeper and we had time to browse the shops. We came back to check our status and a table was still not ready, so several of us went to the bar to order a beer. Rachel was tending bar and she was great. I wanted a light beer, nothing too heavy. She gave me a sample of the Palace brand and it was perfect. Very refreshing, light on the hops, and easy going down. We were seated at a booth for six and lo and behold, Rachel ended up being our server. One of her favorite songs came on, and before we ordered, we were entertained with her singing to us. She did a great job as a singer and as our server. Everyone at the table ordered something different. Our table of 6 ordered a turkey sandwich, a couple different variations of Reuben's, a California Club, and the hubs and I had their fish n chips special. Everything was tasty n fresh. Portions were large and served with fries. Several to go boxes were needed and everyone was quite satisfied with their lunch. Prices are reasonable, too. We would make the drive from Reno to eat here again.

Great food, and staff was very friendly. Portions are huge, but everything cooked very well. Old town vibe.

Virginia City! Yes, please! What a beautiful restaurant and saloon! Our server, Mike, was very personable and knowledgeable about the history of this establishment. We ordered the golden fried mushrooms, which were delicious. Fish and chips, the old fashioned way, with malt vinigar, also delicious. Cheddar beef dip, which was the best we have had in over 20 years!

The food was incredible! However the service was mixed. Our waitress wasn’t very willing to answer questions and her responses were clipped and unfriendly. However her demeanor improved later so perhaps she was just having a rough day. The sandwiches we ordered (elk burger and chicken pickle) were incredibly delicious and the fries were perfect. Very happy with the meal itself.

The Fish and chips were great...my wife enjoyed the Veggie sandwich. Granddaughters ate from the kids men... grilled cheese and the chicken strips. The service could not have been better, Rachel is awesome...

Cool place to eat. Get here before it changes into someplace non-nestalgic. They need an interior designer. Still better than Bonanza across the street. Food was good overall. Do not get the cabbage cup they call coleslaw. I don't think they put any sauce in it. Oh, the lady waitress thought we wanted to hear her sing over the music being played. We couldn't wait to leave. Our waiter Mike was great.

Stopped in for lunch and enjoyed the old west saloon atmosphere. I had the pastrami Reuben’s, they have a few choices in Reuben’s, and it was very good. The service was friendly and attentive even though the place was busy. Prices were not too bad for being a tourist area except for the extra 50 cents they unexpectedly charged my husband for mayonnaise on his burger which was a spoonful in a little cup….
