Jackpot Cafe in Sharkey’s

I have had the grilled salmon and the fish tacos. Both are excellent. It’s some of the best salmon I’ve ever eaten. I definitely recommend this place.

This is based on breakfast and lunch only; excellent omelet, outstanding salads. The chopped chicken salad as well as the salmon salad were so good and very filling. Candied walnuts, lots of veggies, very very good. Very big omelette, hash browns and a delicious biscuit for morning, not sure about the reviews. checked out the dinner stuff coming from the kitchen and it looked pretty good.

Had breakfast here on 10÷22÷15. Average breakfast with average service. Nothing good, nothing bad, but breakfast is at least decent.

I’ve have the opportunity to eat at Sharkey’s a few times over the past couple of weeks.
Had the Friday fish and chips special. The fish was ok and the fries average. Could use some cole slaw and a dinner roll to round out the meal. Sharkeys used to have a seafood special for the same price where you would get fried shrimp, cod, fries, a dinner roll and cole slaw for the same price ($ 7.99) that was much better.
They have added a breakfast special, pancakes, eggs, and sausage that is excellent. Service is usually very good. Outstanding clam chowder on Fridays.
Prime rib is priced a little high for a casino and the prime rib and lobster dinner special (Fri and Sat) at $ 20 is overpriced as well. The prime rib and lobster were both really good but the lobster was on the small side. With some work the salad could be made to be much better.
Three stars and another half star for the friendly attentive service.

We decided to give this café another try to see if they have improved… unfortunately, it still was a poor experience and I am sure we won’t go back. This time we tried breakfast. I ordered scrambled eggs, which were runny. The hash browns were undercooked and mushy. The biscuits and gravy weren’t anything spectacular which was unfortunate because not too many places serve homestyle biscuits and gravy and it could have been something that put Sharkey’s on the map. The only good thing was my husbands sausage and the waitress. Otherwise, everything else was yucky.

I have been there twice. The first time for breakfast and ordered a chili omelet. Couldn’t find but about 1 tsp. of chili on the outside and none inside. I might as well ordered a plain omelet. The next time I ordered prime rib and potatoes and it was so dry I swear they microwaved it. Won’t go back. To bad because I think Katie’s and Bodine’s are ok

Went on a Friday night. They were slammed! Sat at the counter and it took 10 plus minutes to have our order taken. Wanted the fish and chips. I believe it was the typical Cisco product. Not bad but definitely not good. Loads of fries. Service was spotty because they were so busy.

If I could give minus stars I would. My husband and I have been here for breakfast on several occasions and have had just o.k. food and service. We chalked it up to the fact that they had not been open for very long and were still working the bugs out. No more excuses now. I ordered the breakfast sandwich on Texas toast with bacon which arrived without bacon. The server who did not notice this obvious omission took it back upon request and after way too long an amount of time brought it back and by this time my egg was congealed and cold, as was everything else on the plate. The cook just jammed a couple of pieces of bacon into the sandwich and sent it out as is, cold and disheveled.
My husband ordered the egg and bacon breakfast with wheat toast and a side of salsa. Pretty simple, you would think. The server brought his breakfast without the toast or salsa. She realized she forgot the toast and said that it was «in the toaster». When asked about the salsa, she had a blank look on her face like this was the first she had heard of it. She went to get the toast, which you would think would be warm since it was just «in the toaster» and it came back cold with no butter. His entire breakfast was now colder than when she first brought it.
This is sad because it is a very nice café and close to our home, but there is an obvious lack of management oversight and quality control, both in the kitchen and by the servers. They apparently have little concern for their paying customers or they would not serve cold and marginally prepared food served in such a slipshod manner.
I don’t think it is unreasonable to expect that the food be served at the very least warm and that it should resemble what was ordered. I guess the management and owners do not have the same expectation.

We were already headed to Sharky’s for prime rib. Found out that has been renovated but is owned by Bodines. Walked into the café and took a look at some of the plates being served and it was gross. So we decided not to eat there. It is not like Sharky’s whatsoever used to be. Sharky’s is no longer a good place to eat.

Was on my way somewhere else when the sign on the street said chicken pot pie and then they had me. Sadly this was by far the worst ever. The filling tasted like left over split pea soup. With last night left over baked potatoes (they did not even remove the skins). And then there were a few martini onions thrown on. The top was a layered philo dough that was cooked ahead and laid over the bowl of sauce then added some parsley from a jar on top. If this is the best they have then it is time to look at new cook staff.

This place is average!!! I’m not sure why you wouldn’t want to separate your yourself from your sister Restaurant… This is just like Katie’s in CVI! They said they hired a «Chef»??? Maybe they need to reconsider that Chef, I just don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to different… Well anyway. just don’t go out of your way to eat here look for a Denny’s you will be better off!!! «I’m just saying»

The burgers are pretty good, steaks, so, so and prime rib ok. They seriously need to work on their pastas, breads and gravy’s. The salads are bland. Prices are no bargain. The service was above average.

A buddy and I had dinner here this evening and both of us ordered «The Best Prime Rib in Northern Nevada since 1971».
Well the prime rib tasted like it was cooked in 1971!
I ordered mine medium rare and before we had napkins in our laps our dinner salads came. Well that’s ok we figured, the servers are just on top of their game. Nothing about the salad stood out, just a salad, but there were brown wilted pieces mixed in. Yuck
But before we had 2 bites of our salad our entrees arrived.
The prime rib was medium (I ordered medium rare). The entire entrée was barely warm. The prime rib had absolutely no flavor was chewy, very dry and full of gristle. I honestly think my dog would have turned up her nose at this.
The veggie included was zucchini and it was so over cooked it was close to mushy and no flavor either. A twice baked potato also comes with the prime rib and honestly it looked like it had been sitting in an oven since last week, tasted like it too!
I’m not sure if the cold bad food is due to Sharkeys being new and having growing pains or they’re just serving crappy food and don’t care.
I can tell you that neither one of us will return, I really expected more. My recommendation is don’t waste your money!

Was excited to try the new restaurant inside the renovated sharkey’s, and expected it to be pretty good, as the same owners of the CVI took this place over, but was pretty disappointed. I took my son, and when we were seated they made sure to tell me they don’t have a children’s menu. They didn’t have appetizers listed in the menu either, so I was sort of at a loss of what to order for him until they brought the «bar bites» menu over. He had buffalo wings and fries, and I ordered the balsamic chicken pasta. He’s a kid, and enjoyed the fries and a few wings, but my dish left much to be desired. Th chicken was dry, the pasta over cooked and wet — and there was an odd sweet taste to the dish like instead of actual balsamic vinegar maybe they tossed the whole thing with a cheap balsamic vinaigrette? Anyway — not very good, I ate a few bites and that was enough. I’m hoping other items are better there, and may try them again when they have time to work out the kinks.

This is more of a 2.5 star review but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt since I’m sure they are still getting things smoothed out. I came in for lunch and sat at the counter. My initial server was good, she was on top of things and got my drink out quickly, unfortunately she went home and I got a new server. The second server was very anxious and made me wonder if it was her first job as a server. She took my order, went and got my salad and then put my entrée order in. First of all, the salad when added to the entrée was still 3.99 and it’s tiny! I mean bread plate sized, good flavor but not worth the cost. For my entrée I got the Valley Philly, it’s a good sized sandwich with some fries. Good flavor, they were quick in getting it out. Then it took FOREVER to get a box and my check. The gentleman next to me almost walked out it took so long. The remodel is nice, fun atmosphere. The menu looks pretty basic, a little pricy for what you get, I don’t think my lunch was worth anywhere near $ 22 but we’ll probably give them another try for breakfast… Will be interesting to see which direction things go here.
