They just don't make them like Renos anymore! Oh my gosh, we hopped in there based on a referral from one of my students, and we had the best time! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and cheers from three wonderful servers. The place is tiny, which is exactly what we like. We generally don't like to eat at big places where we can get lost in the shuffle and forgotten about easily. But I knew that no one was going to forget about us at Renos. It's a straight shotgun style layout, no corners or hidden spaces. I think that's why families like it so much. The second thing we noticed after the friendly staff, is the prevalence of families with small children. I think it's popular with the families because there's really no place for the kids to hide or anything, it's all wide-open and easy to see. The staff also was very well trained, kind hearted, and they seem to really enjoy working there. I wasn't even hungry when I first walked in with my wife, but as soon as I smelled the delicious aroma, and saw the lovely wooden tables, positive atmosphere opened up my appetite. Immediately, the server came out and asked us what we wanted to drink, so we ordered some soda and checked out the menu. I included the photos of the menu. I was immediately attracted to the chicken bomb, which seemed so good and right up my alley. Within a couple of minutes, The server came back and took our order, and also brought out the drinks. I was pleasantly surprised at the old-fashioned glass mugs that my Diet Coke was served in. I remembered drinking out of those mugs when I was a kid. That just made everything even more fun.
I really enjoyed sitting with my wife in that space, it felt very nostalgic and reminded us of the 80s, sitting in those old pizza places during high school and college. Then I excused myself and played some video games at the arcade console they had near the front entrance! Sometimes they have these things but they don't work, but this one worked. I just played one game for the nostalgia, then I went back to my seat. Within moments, the food came, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken bomb was chock-full of chicken and the bread was toasted. I enjoyed every bite, but could barely get through half of it. I took the rest home for dinner next day. So did my wife. Then we ordered some dessert, which was a large cookie with whipped cream on top. I can't eat that, but my wife said it was delicious.
Renos was a lovely experience and very affordable. Especially you 80s kids, you'll get a big kick out of the atmosphere....

It's a cheat day, no work tomorrow and it's the fourth game of the World Series. We've never had a sandwich here so he wanted to give it a try. The minute we walked in, we were greeted with a smile. The aroma of baked bread and marinara sauce filled the air. The interior was the awesome Italian decor with red and burgundy seating. This restaurant is great for gatherings and just good ol' comfort food!
Their menu is extensive and there's something for everyone! Today we ordered the Turkey and Bacon 10 inch sandwich. We love that the bread has sesame seeds which really added a great flavor once it was toasted. To our surprise, french fries cane with the sandwich! What a great price for the amount of food you get. The picture I took gives the sandwich no justice at all because I didn't realize I forgot to snap photos until after he started eating it! The Applewiod bacon, turkey and avocado, coupled with the toasted sesame seed roll hit the spot! I can't have bread but I took a bite and it was delicious 😋.
I can say that their pizza is excellent, though! I haven't had any issues with the dough and pizza sauce. I'm gluten intolerant and allergic to tomatoes so you know Italian cuisine is out of the picture for me. I was able to eat Reno's pizza! They're definitely using fresh ingredients. You can taste the love in their food. The flavor of their pizza sauce was perfectly seasoned and savory so I can only imagine what their marinara sauce must taste like. Next time, we'll have to try their Calzones!
After we picked up the sandwich, we decided that the next time the game is on during the weekend, we will definitely be here to watch and chill out with the owner! He was awesome. Definitely a great place after a long day at work or if you want to watch the game. You'll definitely have a blast here!

Read moreThis story sounds too crazy to be true, but I assure you it is.
I ordered a pizza and was told it would be there in 45 minutes. Since I usually order from Reno’s and they have always been on time, if not early, in the past I called after an hour to make sure everything was ok and was assured that the pizza would be there in 10 minutes.
30 minutes later, an entire HOUR AND A HALF after I ordered, the delivery guy shows up. I give him a $20 for the pizza and he tells me the exact amount $18 something. I didn’t hear the last part because I was shocked that the pizza was cold. Thinking it was $18 I asked for $2 back and he gave me the money without argument while I thought about going back the next day to discuss the terrible service.
5 minutes later I get a call from the manager telling me I short changed the delivery guy. I apologized and told him to add an extra dollar to my next order since I order frequently and this was the first time anything bad had happened on either end of delivery. He told me to, “keep the 78 cents because I don’t want your money or your business,” and to never call again.
A week later I was walking home from school, passed Reno’s, and decided to go in and give them 78 cents in the hopes that my gesture would sweep everything under the rug.
I walk in, ask to speak to a manager, and tell him, “I ordered a pizza last week. We both were wrong in our actions and I’m sorry. Here’s the 78 cents I owe. I hope everything is fine.” He replied that it wasn’t fine because I short changed the driver, and I reminded him that I am giving him the 78 cents right now. He then THREW the money at me and told me he was going to call the police. He went in the back with the phone and I left the store.
If you want to support an egomaniac with a temper problem, then go ahead and eat here. If you are a good person, then stepping foot in here is a terrible way to...
