from Google"Worst meal I've ever had at Empire grill! My steak was paper thin so no way I could even get it medium rare. Absolutely no taste even after adding salt and pepper. I was so disappointed! My daughter had the special and it was so over cooked the chicken actually snapped in half! And to top it off waiter dropped off our food and didn't come back once till he brought the check. When we complained we were told there was nothing he could do about it. I fell like the past few times have been sub par food. Please do better!"
"It is located in Baldini's Casino. The food was excellent and came out fast,hot, and fresh! I had the biscuits and gravy, and my husband had the steak breakfast. Both were delicious and reasonably priced. We were full all day! We will definitely come back."
"It was about 40 minutes until closing and the place was pretty empty that late on a Monday night, but it allowed us to have a hilarious time with our server (Alex). Really good experience! I also enjoyed the food which was reasonably priced. A refillable soda was $2.99 and my 8oz New York steak and breaded shrimp deal was only $15, for example. They also had a bunch of other menu items for $15 and a weekly special for only $10.99 (which was a prime rib quesadillas). Didn't try that item, but two others at our table did order prime rib and enjoyed their meals as well. The Diner is located inside Baldini's Sports Casino & Restaurant."
"In short: Excellent. The top-notch service provided by Thanh leads the way here in this gently upscale restaurant. The menu is extensive and the prices are quite reasonable, particularly with the copious amount of food that is delivered. Speaking of the food, the generous portions are outdone by the food itself. It's quite good. I want to mention here that the coffee ☕ is the best I've had in Reno so far, plus... they leave an entire carafe on the table for you. Nice touch. For the record, I had the "Ranch Hand" breakfast, consisting of two biscuits and gravy, three eggs scrambled, two large pieces of bacon, and one surprisingly large sausage link. (It took about ten seconds for me to find this on the menu and choose it.) I subbed out fries for the hash browns or breakfast potatoes. Plus, that amazing coffee. This place is a great find, located within Baldini's Casino, so basically hidden from the outside world. I went on a Saturday with what appeared to be at least half of Reno. The parking lot is huge but I still had to park near the very back. However, and this is a big however, the Empire Diner was not crowded at all on a Saturday at 1:00 pm. It was half empty in fact. So that was a mighty pleasant surprise as I was seated right away. In short, the food is excellent, the portions are generous, the prices are a great value, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is quite classy without being pretentious."
"Food is not good you can definitely tell they serve low grade food it's cheap meat, vegetables,fish salad ,the dressing taste like mayonnaise watered down, we had to send our fish back 3 times because it wasn't done,they use tarter sauce they make for the coleslaw it's gross who wants they're whole fish dinner tasting like tarter sauce !!! But I guess if you like cheap budget food then this is right up your alley!!"
