The short version
Sharkey's sits on Highway 395 in Gardnerville, and most of its reviews are really about the Jackpot Cafe. The appeal is generous, unfussy food: burgers and a patty melt built on half pound patties, a cowboy steak under onions and gravy, chicken fried steak at breakfast and a weekday albondigas soup. Prices are fair, though a baked potato side costs extra. There is enough on the walls that one visitor compared the room to a museum.
Servers get consistent praise for being quick and friendly. The friction is at the host stand and with management: regulars describe waiting to be seated while staff walked past, being steered to poor tables and, in two cases, being asked to leave the casino. The weekend prime rib has a fan but more critics who found it tough and thin. The few players who mention the slots either hit big or lost steadily.

Been going here for years, but that ends today. The power-tripping hostess has beenrepeatedly rude. All we ever ask is to sit in a section we would like to sit. She continually wants to put us in the crappiest table in the restaurant. It is

Just had the Cowboy steak, it's a big 1/2 pound ground beef patty smothered in onions and peppers and gravy, soooo good. I got it with a baked potato, just be aware they'll charge you $2 extra!
The Jackpot Cafe inside Sharky's here has some of the best food around here. The Prime rib on Fri and Sat is great as is all…

At 1440 U.S. Hwy 395 N in Gardnerville, about 41 miles from Downtown Reno as the crow flies. It's a Nevada casino, so it has slot machines as well as table games, and you need to be 21 to gamble.
It doesn't stay open all night. The weekly hours are on this page, taken from its Google listing, and it's worth a quick call to confirm before a late drive.
