Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

I've heard good reviews for that place! It might be second on the list for this week.

I'm a fan of Cactus Creek for sure!

Definitely true. I really only go to Louie's for basque, is there another place to check out?


Decisions decisions!

Haven’t been there in a minute but it has been very good every time I’ve went.

Western Village is awesome for the price.

Bricks is good but the last two times I’ve been there they cooked my steak well when I asked for medium rare. Kinda a bummer for that level of restaurant.

If you don’t mind a little drive Edgewood in South Lake is always good. It’s my favorite place to go for a special occasion. You can’t beat the views.

 

I’ve heard from a lot of people the steakhouse at the Bonanza is good. I’m working on the new Legends Bay Casino project next to Scheels, and there is going to be a Duke’s steakhouse inside. Also Chop 40 in Verdi has good food as well. I own a traeger so obviously I prefer my own food, made a killer tri tip on Sunday.

Any Google or DDG search will get you directions to the site, and honestly I'd have to do the same since it has been a few years.

 

ah, I was there sunday. I didn't bring a Geiger counter this time. I am gonna go explore to the east, and south of Middlegate this week/weekend

 

Any chance any one heading down to San Jose or near by in the near future?

 

If you guys have never been to Brickies Tavern for a bacon cheese brickie burger and a beer you are missing out.

I’ll be somewhere in Sac on the 26th for a tuning event. DM me if you think I can help.

 

awesome, thanks for the offer. I will keep you posted.

 

I liked the place better before the remodel but I bet the burger taste the same (at least I hope it does).

 

Clary's across from the Peppermill is another place I like to support. The owners name is John and he is a really nice guy. Great food and about the coldest beer in town.

 

Their biscuits and gravy is nom nom. John is one of the original PJs partners. Not surprising they have good food.

 

Correct you are sir. John and Shawnie are great people. My in laws have known them for probably going on 30 years. John always treats his customers with kindness and is just a really good person. Even if I have not been in there for a year he always takes time to come over and set down and say hello if I stop by. And he is like that with everyone. A place and people worth supporting.

 

Fish n Chips! My wife works nearby and goes there for lunch often. Great food.

 

I'm in stockton this weekend (Friday PM-Sun AM) May have a trip further west upcoming, but not guaranteed. Lemme know if thats helpful.

 

Hey guys,

my exhaust came apart on my 98 Tacoma. Anyone here that can help me weld it back up or any recommendations? I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Order a new cat back. If it’s similar to my 2002 it bolts right up at a flange behind the catalytic converter. Order a new gasket for the flange connection as well. How old is that muffler? Doesn’t look oem.

I went the cheap route and ordered a Bosal. It was about $160 at the time.

 

That is looking pretty thin, would be hard to get in there and clean it up so you could get a good weld. By the time you do I doubt there would be enough left to weld it. At the least you are probably going to want to replace the muffler.

Maybe call Zamboni's Muffler on 4th street. I expect they will replace the exhaust for $300. 324 4142

 

Register it as a classic and just leave it dumped
