“ Had Ribeye steak and Shrimp. Shrimp delicioso. Ribeye wS most flat steak I've ever seen. Had tons of grissel and fat. Beef should be better for price. ”
“ The selections of breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu at the Empire Diner inside of Baldini's is wonderful! So many different dishes to try. The food is top notch and delicious, and the prices are very affordable. Food is hot and tasty, the service is very friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere is relaxing. ”
“ 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. ”
“ Good Christmas dinner for only 18.99, best deal in town. Limited beer selection and only house wines, Barefoot. Server's were friendly and efficient. ”
“ You just can't beat the deals that they have here! I got so much food for such a small amount of money. It was awesome. And they have flavored creamer now! I'm going to be a regular there for as long as they have these great prices and good food. I strongly suggest getting the veggie scramble. Keep it up Baldinis! ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ As always food was wonderful, service was great and since there are no kids allowed everything goes faster as they aren't overloaded with large families. ”
