  This is the type of place I love to have breakfast in.   Its local,  its small,  you feel at home.   Its folksy.  You walk out full, but not stuffed and prices are very reasonable.
  
  Betsy's is located in a casino along highway 50 on the east side of Carson City (on the road to Virginia City)
  
  We stopped for breakfast and everybody in our party was very pleased with their order.  My chili verdi omelette was especially good.  Service was great, particularly if you get Dawn as your waitress.   She will spoil you and make you laugh.

  End of the month dictates we use or loose the 2-4-1 platter coupon for May.
  
  For me a basic Cowboy Steak, fries and soup while Mrs. E. braved a Cobb salad. Reason I say this is it's a really big salad with no shortage of ingredients (or flavour). She prefers iceberg lettuce which is all they use in a Cobb. The Cowboy is nothing to write home about. A decent ground steak with slightly undercooked veggies and over seasoned fries. The brown gravy is exceptional, however.
  
  ****SCORCH ALERT**** I can eat hot foods. I don't want to but I will. The Minestrone soup is the spiciest soup ever. I have friends that will dig hearing this. Mostly, at my age I am not big on the spice burns about the mouth, lips and face. Some stupid obsession drives a man to finish what he hath started. Voilà! Hello, Mr. Outer-Lip-Burn!!!
  
  From the "Why Can't it Be a Totally Great Experience" department, there's this:
  
  "I'll be your cashier when you're ready" isn't working very well for these folks. They drop the "amount due" wallet but don't return to collect it. Last visit here, Samantha was almost 10 minutes total in dropping the check, returning for payment and bringing back the change. Yet the dishes were cleared in advance of all that! (????). Tonight I actually timed Candy and it was a disgusting 14 minutes total.
  
  ***TWO TIPS***
  To avoid being stuck here for 15 minutes while your waitress chats it up with the regulars or her friends that stopped to visit (which happens a lot in here), I suggest the following:
  
  Bring plenty of smaller denominations and have total bill with tip $$ ready to slide in the wallet. Then you can "peace-out" of there.
  ~OR~
  If you use plastic, have it in your hand when the bill arrives and don't forget to remind them you have theatre tickets.

  This was an absolutely cool place. Very airy and just PACKED! I am sure the prices have something to do with it. Reasonable and the amount you get for what you pay is insane. We actually went out of our way twice to go there while on our trip and if you're going up Carson way, I highly say go have a grub fest there. I had Chicken Fried Steak and it was the best I have ever had anywhere and it game with eggs and hash browns and bacon or sausage 5.99 cannot do that at Denny's There is a Casino attached to the place and it is clean and nice too. If we ever head that way again, we will go out of our way to eat there again.

  I was in Tuesday night for dinner and the waitress was Meghan she was very rude was not tentive to her customers and chatting with her friends at a specific table seemed more important then refilling our drinks and checking if we needed anything... Not to be rude but a woman of that size should not be wearing yoga pants to work I would make sure this is fixed...

  So have eaten here several times for breakfast since they remodeled and have enjoyed it each time.  With the remodel the restaurant is very nice and clean.  Also every time we have visited the service has been excellent, our order taken quickly and our drinks never empty.  The food is also prepared well and is tasty. They also have a nice kids menu and overall prices are very reasonable. Due to this Betsy's has become the families go to place for breakfast!
