And by cheap...I don't mean McDonald's cheap necessarily. Just I figure with the number of casino's and other restaurants there are some good deals to be had that also have really good food! THanks for any advice!
There is (disclaimer...2-3 years ago) a great BBQ place in Sparks on main drag from the Grand Sierra (used to be Reno Hilton) , called, uninterstingly enough, 'Carolina Kitchen and Barbeque'. Fantastic and a gut-busting lunch was about 6-8 bucks. When on a project in Reno, ate there 2-3 times/week.
