To celebrate our sons graduation we offered to take him to any restaurant in town that he wanted to go to. He is a waiter at the Eldorado and he chose Cactus Creek. He could not have made a better choice. We were seated promptly, the Maitre'de Mike M could not have been more professional. From his suggestions to his... more

I have eaten here several times and plan to do so again. As far as steakhouses go, this one is top notch. The Prime cuts are always tender and delicious. The sides are unique and tasty as well. As for the service, everyone from Paul the bartender, Michael the Maitre D' and the servers were very friendly and helpful. I... more

My husband and I dined here in July 2009. We read the positive reviews and decided to go. The decor is southwestern, sort of an upscale casual. You would feel comfortable in regular clothes as well as a business suit or evening attire. We ordered the sampler platter appetizer. We'll skip it next time, not because it wasn't good, but... more

We recently found a hidden treasure in Reno, NV -- the Cactus Creek Southwestern Steakhouse! It is in the small "locals type" Bonanza Casino just north of downtown. We have stopped for lunch or breakfast in their Branding Iron Coffee Shop, but had never eaten at Cactus Creek. A great decision to give it a try! FANTASTIC is the only... more

This place has a lot of potential and they really are trying hard but they need to get a chef who can prepare some honest food. The meat is high-quality Prime (most casino-town restaurants use Choice) cuts which build in already a step up in quality and flavor. The staff really tries to make it nice but most of the... more

We had seen the signs on Hwy 395: "Still the only steakhouse in Reno with 100% prime beef (Sorry, Charlie)." This was a competitive thrust at the new steakhouse that had opened in the Grand Sierra Resort, Charlie Palmer's, a nationwide moniker. My husband wanted to take me out for my birthday so he researched steakhouses online and all the... more

Awesome service, great food and reasonable prices for all you get. It's great to walk into a restaraunt where they have so many regulars that they know almost everyone's names and the staff actually has a sense of humor while still being very professional.Their bartender paul is great as well, I would recommend coming early to get a drink before... more

Waiters and waitresses were very friendly. They saw to it that we were satisfied in every way with the food and checked back several times to see if everything was alright. Their appearance was great and we were greated with smiles. Service was superb. We have eatten at more expensive steakhouses and got better service here. Prime rib was cooked... more

I have to agree with most of the reviews here, this is really a great place! We wanted to eat in the "branding Iron Cafe", but it was the Bonanza's "All you can eat spaghetti night" so there was a 30 minute wait. The Host told us, that if we wanted to eat right now, we should go to the... more
