Truckee Heights Grill

Truckee Heights Grill sits along South Virginia in the foothills corridor, surrounded by the neighborhoods that line the back edge of the metro. The kitchen stays honest: hand-cut steaks from a Nevada rancher, smash burgers on a flat-top, and a rotating list of local drafts that grows as the Reno craft scene does. The covered patio faces the hills and holds up in most weather.

The menu is built for regulars. The steaks are cut in-house and cooked on a wood-fired grill. The burgers use a custom-blend patty and are pressed thin. Happy hour runs weekdays from three to six and covers both the bar menu and select draft pints.

This is a good room for groups and families. There is a kids menu, a noise level that absorbs conversation, and parking that works on weekends. Sports packages run on the main-room screens through fall and winter.
