Reno is still a great deal for inexpensive and excellent food. The casinos keep you fed with $5.55 and $7.77 buffets, and there are usually lunch specials at most local restaurants.
But you want some variety too, right? You can always go with a tried and true diner like the
Gold-n-Silver Inn, which was featured on the Food Network's Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives or get an Awful Awful burger from the
Little (Golden) Nugget in downtown Reno. This burger is so famous, it won the Food Wars contest on the Food Network. You can also satisfy your nostalgia for classic Americana by heading to
Mels' Diner at the Sands.
For something different, try the lunch special at
India Kabab and Curry or a Mexican lunch at
Miguel's. Both of these restaurants are located in the Midtowne section of the city. Also, pick up a couple of deli sandwiches at
Newman's or
Paisan's and eat by the river or in a park.
For dinner, pick up a pizza from
Pie-Face (they have a $4 slice and beer special) or hang with the locals at the Vietnamese
Pho 777 or nosh on a
pupusa at
El Salvador. All these restaurants are right downtown...so you have more change leftover for the slots.

If you are awful, awful hungry, then stop by here and try the famous Awful Awful Burger. It's a favorite Reno bargain consisting of a charbroiled half-pound burger atop a mound of seasoned fries for $6.95. The restaurant is always crowded with counter-style seating. The hassle of parking downtown and sitting elbow-to-elbow with the other hungry patrons is quickly forgotten when your food arrives. You can order breakfast, lunch, or dinner any time of the day or night. The restaurant accepts cash only...
