The nice waitress said they have a group of ten or so guys that come on Tuesdays and I could call the owner, Lisle to talk to him about it if we we're interested in moving the meet there...

I've never been over there, how's that parking lot? It looks small on the sat. map.

It is a bit small. I wonder how full it is at 6 though.

Dean · 2009-08-13, 09:53 PM

How varied is the menu? TVs? What does a burger/fries and a drink cost you out the door?

cody · 2009-08-13, 10:05 PM

The menu seemed like standard pub fair, but I only gave it a once over and they were out of to go menus. The menu seemed varied enough.

I spent $27.65 for our two sandwiches (each comes with 2 sides) two Arnold Palmers and 20% tip. I'm not sure if burgers cost the same or not but that's about $14/person. It might be a buck/person more than the current location, but the prices seemed similar to me.

Lionel, not Lisle. And I forgot to mention that the lunch menu is available until 9pm but they also have a dinner menu.

Dean · 2009-08-21, 04:23 PM

Anybody want to go check out Sullivans and/or GSR Monday or Tuesday? I figure the weekend is a bad choice.

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-08-21, 05:53 PM

I'll go with you.

Kevin M · 2009-08-24, 03:48 PM

Tomorrow I can meet you at a possible location probably.

Dean · 2009-08-24, 05:21 PM

Anybody else up for Tues.?

Thoughts? Check out Sullivans then head to GSR, or the other way around?

6:00 or later?

Dean · 2009-08-25, 04:44 PM

Sounds like a few of us are going to meet over at GSR on the northwest corner, closest to the giant swing, at about 6:30. Check out the different restaurants, what it takes to get the $7.77 buffet and have some food.

May check out Sullivan's afterwords. I called all the numbers I can find for them on the web and got disconnected messages. They may not exist anymore. Will cruise by on my way to GSR.

cody · 2009-08-25, 04:46 PM

In my experience, locals can get a "Comps Plus Card" which allows you and 3 others to get the $7.77 buffet. We tend to bring visitors there since it's such a good value.

Dean · 2009-08-25, 04:51 PM

Figured as much. Want to join us?

cody · 2009-08-25, 04:53 PM

I do, but I shouldn't...

But with a more central location, I'm far more likely to go to meets.

bigrobwoot · 2009-08-25, 06:01 PM

How do you get more central than the spaghetti bowl?

tysonK · 2009-08-25, 06:17 PM

I was gonna go teh Devendra Banhart concert at GSR tonight but of course he canceled because Reno has no indie cred, lol.

I don't think you can.

We had tickets too...

bigrobwoot · 2009-08-25, 08:23 PM

Oh you were agreeing with the location, not contesting it. Roger that

Dean · 2009-08-25, 08:26 PM

GSR is OK.

Parking: No problem
Food:
--- Johnny Rockets. Burgers, sandwiches, etc. $15ish for Cheseburger/fries/coke.
--- Coffee Shop: Coffee Shop + some International... $15+
--- Buffet: Multi-national Buffet. <$10.00 incl. tax/tip with Locals $7.77 deal.
--- Port of Subs (No seating)
--- Round Table[downstairs] (Damn, Forgot to check if they had Tuesday night buffet... Should have stuck our heads in.)
--- Fancy shmancy Restaurants... $$$

We ate at the buffet around 7:00. Minimal wait for the four of us, mostly to pay, not for seating. They had large tables setup and a group of 15 or so was seated not long after us. Food was pretty good, especially for $7.77... Our waiter was decent, behind the buffet people were mostly useless. No TVs obviously and no Keno.

It appears you can get the $7.77 deal without a players club card, but requires begging/whining. Getting a card took about 90 seconds. No forms. Not sure how much junk mail I will get. Good for at least 4 people, or probably as many as you put on one check.

Johnny Rockets has space for all of us over on the right side, and you can kind of see the Sports Book TVs.

We could meet there, but JRs is going to get old fast, and a bit more than Sully's $ wise. Buffet is not bad, but not as comfortable for lack of a better word as Sully's.

Sullivan's is no more. It is now "Rub's Pub and Grille" (Should be Pub and Grub IMHO). Looks like they just had or are just having their grand opening. (sign still hanging outside) It was a ghost town at 6:20 when I stuck my head in. It looked nice though. We didn't stop by later, so no menu info. Parking would be fine as that end of the Costco parking lot is dead. maybe that is next week's outing. Might be like "the 4th Turn" was with us being almost the only ones in there which is fine until they go out of business.

Dean · 2009-08-31, 08:25 AM

Anybody interested in checking another place out tonight?

I am probably going to do some scouting early this afternoon and then would probably have dinner at one place or check out a few with folks and pick one for dinner depending on what I find.

Dean · 2009-09-14, 11:19 AM

When my trailer threw 1/2 the tread off one tire last week, I ended up in the

Rail City Parking lot

before limping home on city streets on 3.5 tires.

On reflection, it is about as central as you get. Should have an empty part of the parking lot for us and has a cafe/buffet and the "Ale house". Could be a contender...

http://www.railcity.com/din.php
http://www.railcityalehouse.com/

Anybody been there recently?

Anybody interested in checking it or the place that replaced Sulivan's out?

MattR · 2009-09-14, 06:36 PM

Ale Hose! Sounds painful.

I'm free this and Thursday evenings so I'm down to check out the Ale Hose or whatever tonight, and I'll be at the meet this week too. You've been warned.
