I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
Rich in history, Nevada’s capital is known for a lot of things – shopping, entertainment, arts and culture, and an impressive array of dining options, which is what you want after a day full of activity. When it comes to choosing a restaurant, you want to know that you will be getting a delicious meal, as well as good value for your money. There is one rustic restaurant that truly fits the bill and is serving up satisfying portions (and then some) of good old country cooking in Nevada.
Red’s Old 395 Grill in Carson City, Nevada, looks and feels like a giant log cabin, welcoming customers with its warm country ambiance.
Red’s declares itself to be “Home of the greatest meals on earth!” The menu board is pretty convincing with “lip smacking Buffalo Wings” and “Monstrous 1/2 lb. Burgers,” to name just a couple.
Just a glance at customer reviews and the phrase “huge portions” or something close to it is a frequent comment. Helpings are, indeed, large - so large, in fact, that some menu items offer a “petite” portion for those who are not hungry enough for the full plate.
The menu is full of comfort food favorites ranging from home-style BBQ, complete with all the classic sides, to Southern-inspired dishes, as well as too-big-to-bite burgers, pizzas, Buffalo wings, and tasty salads.
Country cooking would not live up to the hype if it did not include large portions of country desserts like peach cobbler a la mode. Of course, there are lots of other options as well, including the Chocolate Fudge Cake (which comes with a 2-fork recommendation), Mel’s Brownie Sundae, and Raspberry-Apple Bread Pudding.
Red’s is more than just one of the best restaurants in Carson City. The dining room is full of character and historic memorabilia mounted on the walls and suspended from the ceiling, including plaques, trinkets, license plates, old carriages, wagons, and engines throughout the space.
Whether you live in the area or are just passing through, you would do well to stop into Red’s Old 395 grill to experience some of the best country cooking in Nevada for yourself.
