Tamarack Junction Casino

Don’t let the casino name lead you astray. Tamarack has the best Chicken Fried Steak & eggs. Always fresh, hot, thick and crispy. If it’s not breakfast you’re looking for then the Tamarack Steakhouse is a great option. Food & service are spot on but the best part is the restaurant is in a nonsmoking self contained area. Very nice dining atmosphere.

Made it into Sullys for the Sunday brunch and met some friends to watch the game a few weeks back. The room
Is crowded and loud but on a game day that’s what you expect and it makes it festive and fun. We tried the buffet and it was more than I had expected when our friends had invited us. Omelette stop rider a large selection of breakfast meats and side items potatoes, pastries, fruit and more. Of course the bloody Mary’s were well stocked and seasoned and it turned into a leisurely late morning good times with friends. We look forward to the next invitation and will come prepared for another fun time!

I’ve been going off and on for a year… the positives;
Bartenders on sports bar side are great especially Dale.
Steak house good food and service.
Games pay off at times and good drink service.
Negatives;
Sports bar food needs improvement but that’s been addressed by other Unilocalers.
Sports bar hasn’t been playing popular games on a regular basis. Hopefully I won’t be criticized by management again. I don’t ask after last year. This weekend, many Raider fans left. I’m not a raiders fan. The decision is made by management and bartenders have no say.

At the sports bar here. The breakfast buffet is really good and the service is great!

Food was ok. Guacamole tasted like wholey guacamole. Ordered steak stocks medium and they were burnt outside and almost raw inside. Charbroiler to hot maybe? And bartender has no personality nor do any waitresses we encountered. I won’t be back.

I don’t gamble here, I prefer tables, which they don’t have, so this is for the restaurants only.
Dining Car: Decent service, it’s not the fastest, but the servers have almost always been friendly, and the salad bar is the best I’ve found south of McCarran Blvd.
Steakhouse: Only been once, and I haven’t really been to any other steakhouses, so I don’t have much to compare to. The food was good, but it was expensive, and I don’t know what I should expect.
Sully’s: Really good food, the pizzas are amazing, and I’ve yet to get a bad burger… but dear God is the service slow. I don’t think it is the server’s faults, I’ve never seen more than two of them for the whole restaurant, and I get the impression it is a slow kitchen.
Overall, it isn’t the best place in town, but if you are on the south side of town, it’s the best you are going to find without driving into the city.

We love Tamarack for their breakfast at the café. The food is always good (best gravy ever!) and they give you 50% off your bill if you are military.

Food and service excellent in there coffee shop. Cristina and Debbie in the main floor cocktail service staff is friendly and speedy an a real asset to the business. Loretta an Christine in the keys an slot division is helpful an friendly. Corey the casino hostess makes you feel right at home every visit… In fact the whole staff is fantastic. A great place for fun… and always very clean and not smoky like some places… anyhow check it out

We like to come here and sit at the bar and have breakfast. Our favorite bartender is Cecily! She is awesome! So friendly and has a great memory!
We will come here in the lounge and have drinks with friends! It is right next to the steakhouse. Very private, there is a waterfall fountain, and a fireplace. Comfy couches, makes you feel at home.
Great place to go with friends

Nicely done casino that packs a lot of options into a smaller size. New machines keep things fresh, in addition to the tried and true favorites. Usually some sort of promotion going on. Friendly staff plus fun little touches such as decorations for the various holidays. And oneof the few places with «Wild Sevens» video poker (similar to Deuces Wild but the 7’s are wild instead).

Food is good, and service is too. The bar is the best seat in the house. I like to get breakfast at night, and this is a good place to get it. Check it!

I have been to the Tamarack many times in the last couple of years. We like to eat at the bar so we can gamble while eating lunch. The food is always very good. The place is very nice. The bartenders are rude and unfriendly. I finally asked to speak to a manager who took my name and phone number and said he would look into it and get back to us. Right. Don’t say you are going to do something you won’t do. I think as long as management is this incompetent you won’t see the bartenders doing a better job. Lots of other places to eat.

I have become a regular here, I’d like to be a regular somewhere else but the Dining Car Diner has the best salad bar in town. My client she loves fried shrimp & French fries, the Dining car serves a large quantity of Shrimp at a very good price. It makes her very happy. I’d like to go somewhere else because the service here is slow, slow, slow. The staff doesn’t care about their customers and it shows. Until my client can no longer make the walk from the car to the Diner, I am trapped.

Ok we stopped in for a bite again.
Again we were seated right away even though they were bust this time.
Server was nice and quick.
I ordered a grilled pastrami with swiss cheese, it comes on a roll and I requested rye. My side was coleslaw. This sandwich was made perfectly, I know it should be hard not too, but believe me I have had horrible results. It is very important that the ratios fit well to make a good sandwich. The pastrami was a good part fat and lean and I put my coleslaw in the sandwich which in the end makes for an expensive sandwich at the Atlantis. I liked this sandwich much more than the overly packed one you get at the Atlantis deli.
While we were in the parking lot we took the time to look around and I must say this is probably the best landscaping at a casino in Reno, so well maintained and laid out beautifully. The GSR should send someone over to take a look at what grounds should look like.

I have always had good experiences here and from what I can tell, this is the only soup and salad place in town. 9.99 for all you can eat and it’s pretty good. I can vouch for their breakfasts as well. Always big and good. My only gripe is that it smells like ozone when you come in and I hate that smell.

The food here isn’t great at all. It’s just «ok»… If you know what I mean. I’d compare the quality of the food to Waffle House.

I’m not happy with this casino anymore. In fact, tonight pretty much confirmed why I don’t like it.
Tonight my family and I went to gamble and have a good time. Although I still had a good time despite losing my money, I can say I used to have better fun here before they got rid of my favorite machines. I get that they have to switch out the slots every so often, but they just had to take Ghost Busters, Family Guy, and one other slot that was like fishing (unsure of the name). They were really fun! I go tonight and it’s like they have nothing good!
Just to top it off, they have a pretty creepy security man as well. I totally understand casinos must do their jobs and I.D. those who appear underage. I’m a young looking woman myself, and for only being 22, I might look about 19 instead. So there’s a guy roaming about and he asks to check my I. D… I hand it over and he checks it. Fine. However, it starts bothering me when I see him FOLLOWING me thru the whole night! I’d be on one end of the floor and I’d see him circling around where I was, also making brief eye contact as if he has something else to try to «catch» me for… or just be a complete creep! It’s not like this happened once or twice, either. The whole damn night, even when I was around my group. It did not seem like a coincidence. I even noticed the increase of employees on the floor more so than ever before. Not a bad thing, but it made me wonder if they got cited and had to crack down?
I considered asking to speak to a manager about him because he was that weird. In case this nut job weirds out any other female patrons, his description is a middle-​aged, balding-​blonde, with glasses. I don’t mind you doing your job, but be mindful of the staring and observing!
Anyway, there are other casinos around here I’d much rather go to.

I’ve eaten here twice, food was ok wasn’t all that great.
The sportsbar has all the makings of a pretty cool place but be warned DO NOT PLAY VIDEO POKER here. This place is tighter than most indian casinos when it comes to gaming.
It’s like the Wild West in there, they’ll rob you blind

We went here for the breakfast. Everything was solid. Nothing to complain about from the eggs to the basic breakfast foods. The service was great as well. I was a little concerned at first that smoke would be an issue in the open restaurant but it seems they have a good air system to keep the smoke with the smokers. But you do have to walk through the casino to get to the restaurant.
I will return.

This review is for the restaurant only.
Who serves a tall drink of water without a straw? Nothing like having lunch with friends and having a cascading waterfall of freezing water and ice cubes dribble down your chin because it’s simply Too Much Effort to bring a straw with the glass.
Who serves mashed potates without gravy? Because the heap of potatoes isn’t dry enough by itself.
Who makes a chocolate milkshake without topping it with whipped cream? Such a tragedy.
Service was S.L.O.W. With the restaurant only a quarter full, we had to wait through a Madonna song (3 minutes) until the hostess stopped laughing with her co-​workers in the kitchen before coming up front to seat us. She surveyed the nearly empty floor before sighing and saying, «I guess you can have that booth.»
We were hungry and ready to order NOW. But we had to sit through at least three more One Hit Wonders from the 1980s before the waiter finally deigned to make an appearance. Once the food finally came out, he never once came back to check if we needed more water, to clear half-​empty plates, or ask if wanted any of our leftovers wrapped up.
The food itself was classic diner fare, nothing special, but don’t hold your breath waiting for wait staff to blow you away with their attention.
