Where to Eat in Sparks: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Along the Truckee River in the tranquil Truckee Meadow is fast-growing Sparks, Nevada, Reno's less flamboyant neighbor to the east. Although home to only one high rise casino, Sparks offers visitors other pleasures with live festivals and events in open air venues, a lively farmers' market, a multiplex theater and less pricey accommodations than its high-rolling neighbor. Its proximity to both Reno's casinos and Lake Tahoe makes Sparks a perfect destination for a Northern Nevada Vacation.

4.5 based on 330 reviews
A casual, yet elegant restaurant, favored by locals. Enjoy a martini from our world class martini list or a bottle of wine from our extensive wine list. Indulge in an appetizer, or a salad prepared at your table followed by a tender steak that is always fresh.

Located in the Western Village Inn & Casino which doesn't look too promising from the outside, this place was real surprise. Friends who live in Reno, joined us for dinner and said they'd always assumed it was a truck stop.
The restaurant is lovely and well maintained.
They have an extensive menu and feature seafood as well as beef. There's also a great wine list.
Our table had the Halibut, Steak Diane and Petite Filets. Everyone was very happy with their choices.
Salad is served with a chilled fork, they bring sherbet with sparkling wine to cleanse your palate before the entree and then special knives presented for those having steak.
All in all a great experience

They have an amazing Crab Benedict; huge portions and very tasty. The prizes are reasonable to comparable establishments. Waitstaff is always cheerful and eager to please. The venue itself needs some deep-cleaning, as it is a bit dusty; seats and tables are quite old and in need of updating; and the floor is always sticky.

Visited here for dinner while on a business trip. Ordered the small filet and it was prepared to perfection. The table side service was excellent and the atmosphere exceptional. Suggest the table side ice cream and the coffee diablo. There were a few other table side demonstrations that I watched throughout the restaurant.

We’re locals that are long time customers of BJ’s BBQ (not to be confused with BJ’s Brewery chain also located in Sparks, NV).
In our recent visit I had the Pastrami sandwich which was one of the best I’ve ever had...very meaty, flavorful, and tender.
Also, we recommend BJ’s for breakfast...shrimp and grits is one of my favorites.

This is Nevada's oldest operating brewery and has many good craft brews to choose from. There is a GBBC in Reno and one in Sparks. The food is good with recipes incorporating some of their brews. You'll surely find a beer that you'll want to come back for. You can also pick up a 6-pack in the local grocery stores.

Enjoy your favorite classic Mexican dishes such as Carne Asada, Fish Tacos and Pork Carnitas or choose from a variety of seafood and steak entrees. Our 99 cent margarita is always on the menu, served frozen or on the rocks.
Reviewed By john B - Bend, Oregon
My wife and I went to Western Village and had heard the Mexican Restaurant there was very good. Unfortunately that was not true. My wife ordered carnitas with corn tortillas and black beans. She got flour tortillas but the black beans were dry, insipid and not good and same for the pork which was average at best. I had a combo plate and asked for black beans and got refried beans. The Chile relleno was just horrible, no flavor and overfried and the taco and enchilada again overcheesed and not very good. Strange service with waitress a bit off but busgirl was very good.

Took my niece here for her birthday as she is vegan and heard this was a good option. The menu was varied and had options for meat eaters and vegans alike which is a plus. The plates were creative and healthy. I ordered the pupusas, with beans and chicken. Now, these were ok but maybe it’s because I make my own pupusas. The beans were ok and there were 2 small cubes of chicken. The sauce was bland and had no heat. I would not order those again. Penne verdura was what my niece had and she was happy with her dish. It was quite pricey as well... our bill was nearly $40 and my plate was fairly small portioned. I would give this place another try but stick with sandwiches or salads or the black bean burger

Happy hour food and beverages were good and reasonable. Ordered oysters and shrimp. One ordered drink came, one did not. Service very slow. Don’t go if you’re in a hurry.

At In-N-Out Burger, quality is everything. Stop by to enjoy our menu of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries and shakes. In-N-Out makes fast food the old fashioned way.
Reviewed By flyfisher199 - Sparks, Nevada
The edge In-N-Out has over other fast food chains is that the ingredients are very high quality, prepared by well trained staff in a very clean setting. The result is what a burger and fries should be but often aren't at other places.

One of my all time favorite breakfast spots! There is a large variety of scrumptious options on the menu that make choosing sometimes challenging! My all time favorite is their Huevos Rancheros but you can't go wrong with one of their Benedict options or anything else for that matter. This is not a bargain restaurant yet the prices are reasonable and the meals are well worth the price for delicious, generous portions!
