Worst restaurant ever. Â Flies, filth, dirty windows and tables and carpet. Â Waitress put her hands all over the rims of glasses. Â 15 minutes went by as tables of customers wanted napkins, to order, or just leave. Â Just leave was the best option. Â Near us was burned food or greasy food. Â Yuck!
Review Source:The Delta Saloon has always been one of my favorite spots in Virginia City. Who knows why? It must be some combination of the loud, madcap banjo music, the rows-upon-rows of gamblers hitting the slots, the welcoming bar and the mini-museum filled with memories of a Nevada past, including the infamous "suicide table."
I clearly love history, and I love Nevada history in particular. I wrote an article a few years ago in the Nevada Sagebrush about local legends and folklore, including a blurb on the history of the suicide table here: <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FbDnnfB&s=5237c9c6668f32c3fe45f3504052e012cb0d74d0c17feb642466c46326bb1896" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/bDnnfB</a>.
The overall vibe of the Delta Saloon is bright, loud and vibrant. It is not a dusty, broken-down relic of what used to be -- it's simply full of life, as if you've arrived in the midst of the Comstock era and are thrust into the action.
Virginia City is not your typical historical site. It's so authentically Nevada with its attitude of drinking, gambling and gun-slinging so ingrained in the town, even centuries of time-passing can't shake it.
If I could give 0 stars I would, Will M. is right. I went all over town and got coupons for bogo drinks, including alcohlol. All me and my wife wanted was an expresso. However the bartender informed us that the 1 lady was the only one that could help us. I went to the expresso person and waited until she was done talking to her friend to order 2 expressos, and WOW am I sorry i did. She asked small or large, and looking at the menu I said "large" only being 50 cents more for large.
The server hughed, rolled her eyes and told her friend, F--k, this may take a while, I will be back in a long while. Are you kidding me, I apoligized for interuptiing her conversation with her friend and making her do her job (it was about 25 degrees on 11/11/12), and I left.
They have a lot of advertisements on the way up  an a lot of coupons in town, but the coupons are not worth the paper they are printed on, I have 12 coupons I will never use.
GO TO BUCKET OF BLOOD ACROSS THE STREET.At least ift the bar tender treats you like a dog maybe its authentic and you can have a laugh.
STAY AWAY FROM THE DELTA EXCEPT TO SEE THE SUICIDE TABLE AND LEAVE.
MEAN PEOPLE WORK THERE! DANGER!
Stopped in for a drink before heading back to Reno. The owner was tending bar, friendly enough fella. The drinks were good, and the slots right behind you at the bar have some VERY nice prizes. Â Gold in one, and a gun in another, with free drinks coming up fairly often. Now thats my kinda slot machine!
Review Source:The worst food served with bad service. Â Any one can burn toast but how many restaurants will serve it? Â Getting an order partially right should not be an accomplishment. Â Ok, this is a tourist trap in a tourist town, but they should take some pride in what they do. Â Most positives were the decor and friendly bus boy
Review Source:I enjoyed my short visit here. Â The bar side was filled with regulars, the walls are covered with town history, and they have plenty of slot machines to go around. Â I was disappointed that the restuarant side was closed (since they advertised a "hot dog with all the fixins!" for $2.75 and it sounded REALLY good). On the plus side because the restaurant side was closed they offered free parking in their lot. Â I'd like to come back on a weekend.. maybe when the town is a bit more busy.
Review Source:I went to the Delta Saloon today at 2:00 PM in search of a hot cup of coffee, from the sidewalk they advertise they have a full espresso/latte bar. They advertised that they had the best coffee drinks in town and from the sidewalk it looked very appealing.
Lone and behold, when we got in there everything was just about closed throughout the bar and facility. The bar tender was extremely rude and stated that this place was the only place to get a hot to go coffee in Virginia city and we were out of luck. She said this as closed down the espresso machine.
Later on as we strolled along the shops we came across the Comstock creamery. The facility was extremely clean and the staff were exceptionally nice and helpful. Compared to the x-convict bar tender at the delta saloon, I would recommend giving this place your business.
Additionally the Delta Saloon is like a smelly old ashtray that smells of defecated matter. I would steer clear of this place at all costs, there are a lot better places that offer better food and service in Virginia City.
The attached restaurant is okay - nothing special, but about the best place that I have found to eat in Virginia City. Â Nobody comes here for the food! Â Maybe there is a better place, but I haven't found it yet. Â But it has burgers and tuna melts and the like. Â And it is clean enough. Â The bar/casino next door has decent bathrooms that you can come in and use inconspicuously enough. Â And the casino still has a few older slot machines that use and dispense actual coins. Â The cashier lady told me that it is hard to find parts and/or repairmen to work on these older slots, which is why everyone is going toward the slots that just dispense the tickets. Â Progress... who needs it?
Review Source:I'm not sure why the previous reviewer felt the need to point out that this is a saloon, Â as that there are several saloons all over Virginia City. As a matter of fact, they can be found in 99% of the cities of the western United States. Â But whatever....
The Delta Saloon is probably the longest-lasting "tourist-class" drinking establishments in the city. What I mean by this, is that there is a lot of history that one should see inside, but it's definitely geared to the tourist (nothing wrong with that- tourism is the life-blood of the city). The Delta does contain a "must-see" attraction, the infamous "suicide table." If you're after a drink, the prices vary. There's better places you can go in Virginia City, but without doubt, there are far worse places.
Did you read the name of this place? It's called Delta Saloon... a real-life SALOON people. Besides the video slot machines and cable TV, this place really hasn't changed much since the 1800's. Yes, the 1800's like.. the 19th century. Mmm Hmmm, like whoa.
If you're lucky, you'll actually find locals hangin' out in their Civil-War era attire. It's so accurate it ain't even funny, I bet even their underwear is authentic.
The had some signage at the bar stating that they had the best Bloody Mary's in all of Virginia City... and although I didn't try one, the person I was with did and she sure did look happy. I had a hot dog and it was very fat and juicy... so good. In fact, it seemed like every bar (or saloon) had hot dogs.
Oh and did you know that Virginia City is the nation's largest Historical Landmark? Well it is, and you should totally check it out. This used to be a town of about 45,000 people, which at the time, was bigger than San Francisco (crazy!). It might not be for everyone, but there is a ton of history here, and I think that it's totally worth the trip.
