Top 10 Restaurants In Reno

With the Tesla factory underway and the ongoing expansion of the University of Nevada, it is no question that Reno is rapidly growing. Not only is the city itself expanding, but the food culture is growing as well. Reno is slowly becoming a culinary epicenter, so forget your diet and check out my top 10 picks (in descending order) for some of the best restaurants to dine in Reno.

10. Grateful Gardens Cafe and Eatery

For those looking for a wholesome menu that's not only healthy but delicious, too, Grateful Gardens is the place to go. From hand tossed salads to freshly baked liege waffles, Grateful Gardens offers a wide range of selections that are gluten-free, paleo, and vegan friendly. This restaurant is great if you're on the go and looking for a healthy, budget-friendly meal. Grateful Gardens has two locations in the Reno area, one which is located conveniently on the University of Nevada campus and the other just minutes away in the MidTown District.

9. Campo

This restaurant is on the pricier side but well worth it for the fun atmosphere, fresh artisanal food, and great customer service you'll get. The menu changes daily, and their ingredients come from local farms. From brick oven baked margherita pizza to handmade pasta, Campo has everything to satisfy your Italian cravings.

8. Stone House Cafe

Located in the suburbs of Reno, Stone House Cafe has a menu that won't disappoint. With their brunch menu that offers banana rum French toast to a dinner menu with macadamia nut escargot, they have dishes that will satisfy both your savory and sweet tooth. With the price running from an average of $12 per person, their restaurant will surely fill your appetite without breaking the bank.

7. SUP

Reno unfortunately does not have a Panera, but it does have SUP, which is SO MUCH better. Where else can you get homemade soup, sandwiches, AND salads for less than $10? SUP tends to get busy, so do plan ahead. However, it is definitely worth the wait, and I highly recommend the tomato bisque soup.

6. Two Chicks

Located in the heart of the MidTown District, Two Chicks serves specialty grilled cheese sandwiches that are guaranteed to melt in your mouth. With perfectly buttered sourdough bread and freshly sliced cheese, you can't go wrong with Two Chicks.

5. Daily Bagel

With homemade bagels that are way better than the on-campus Eintstein's for the fraction of the price, this place is perfect if you're on the go. If you're dining in, you can check out the local artwork, which changes monthly. Not only do they have great bagels, but they also have locally roasted gourmet coffee.

4. Bibo's

Bibo's is the perfect place for a college student to drink gourmet coffee for less than $4 while catching up and relaxing with friends. Their coffee is the best of the best and puts Starbucks' pumpkin spice lattes to shame. Everything from the store's aesthetics to the locally roasted coffee is perfect.

3. Daughters Cafe

This restaurant is my personal favorite. Located in the Art District of Reno, this quaint Mom and Pop-run restaurant is one of the best hidden gems in Reno. They have a seasonal menu, and the food is made fresh to order. The chef, Barb, does all the cooking while her daughters run and operate the place. I highly recommend the beignets. The recipe was passed down from generation to generation and is perfectly crispy yet fluffy.

2. Burger Me

If you're looking for burgers that are bigger than your face, Burger Me is the place for you. Burger Me has award-winning burgers so good that it was even featured on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." There are speciality burgers that offer the choices such as lamb patties, ahi tuna patties, and even wasabi mayo! With unique burgers for the price of an In-N-Out meal with the quality of Wolfgang Puck, Burger Me is the best place to go.

1. Blind Onion Pizza

Ask any Nevada student where to get pizza and they'll tell you to head to Blind Onion. Blind Onion has the best pizzas in Reno. With great prices during happy hour and tons of options for toppings, you can't go wrong. Plus, where else can you combine pizza and honey? Yes, that's a thing, and it's REALLY good.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
