Known primarily for its hearty, traditional American breakfast offerings, this is the kind of place where locals come to start their day with generous portions and familiar flavors that don’t mess around.

Seating ranges from booths to counter spots, making it a good option whether you want a quick bite solo or a relaxed meal with friends or family.

What stands out here is the menu’s commitment to filling, comforting plates that lean towards classic American and southwestern breakfast staples. Dishes like Peg’s Glorified Ham Steak & Eggs—featuring a ham steak topped with caramelized bananas—and the vibrant Huevos Rancheros offer hearty spins on traditional breakfast fare. For a little more variety, options like Chicken Fried Steak with gravy or the Monte Cristo sandwich add midwestern and diner influences that hold up well for lunch crowds.

Visitors often appreciate the sizable servings, which come at reasonable prices given the downtown location. This is a spot where you’ll leave feeling full and ready to take on the Reno day ahead—whether you’re nursing a hangover, fueling up for a tournament, or just craving a familiar, no-frills meal. The kitchen moves steadily even when the place gets busy, though there’s no rush to eat and go since it’s a place people settle into for a proper meal.

It’s a practical neighborhood diner with familiar faces behind the counter, a menu that covers all the bases from sweet to savory, and an atmosphere that somehow manages to feel both bustling and welcoming.

All I can say is come hungry! Great food, great service and great prices for the portions!! Crystal, our server was so wonderful and as I heard her talk to other tables coming in, as well as my boyfriend and I, you can tell she cares about her customers. Do not, I repeat, do not miss your chance at a great breakfast spot because you're hungover, trust me, they have the cure!!!! Definitely a go back every time!

I've been going to Pegs for a long time. The staff is always friendly and the food is always delicious ! I sat at the counter last Thursday. I had a great conversation with Crystal. ( I believe that was her name. ) She was very friendly and made my dining experience better that usual. I even went back yesterday with a friend of mine.

The location is convenient to downtown. It has a friendly staff and portions of food are rather large. They provide quick friendly service. The food had great taste and glad we didn't order a side a pancakes as we originally thought. The pound ham was awesome and chile relleno as well. Highly recommend you try this local place, you won't be disappointed.

Thank you Karolina for the service! Came out to celebrate a birthday received excellent service and food. The place gets busy but they do a great job at turning tables and getting you seat, food just might take a minute to get to the table. Will definitely come back next time time in town. Also forgot to mention, great prices!

We spent a weekend in Reno for a concert but wanted to check out the local breakfast spot. This place appealed to me based on popularity and many locations. The diner is cute, and the food was highly rated. The husband had the meat lovers omelet, which was an omelet of the specials of the day. It was huge! Came with hash browns and UNLIMITED toast. They had white, wheat, and sourdough bread. The sourdough was amazing, and we learned it comes from a local bakery. Winning!! I had the made fresh Cornbeef hash with salted onions and peppers, topped with 2 eggs (however you like it), side of hash browns, and both wheat and sourdough toast. It is the known has the best and they did not disappoint. I ate the entire thing. The cornbeef hash was good with my over easy eggs. It was great topped on my toast. It was perfect with a bite of hash browns. The eggs Benedict on the menu are the local favorites. I am usually an Eggs Benedict type of girl, but I am so glad I diverted and tried something different!!! My belly was so happy! The service! If you go to this location, ask for Crystal (not sure of spelling). She always had a smile, and our coffee cups were never empty. We were seated right away when we arrived. We could tell it was a happening place because there were customers rolling in constantly. Tables were cleared quickly. Water cups were never empty. Great, great service and SO friendly. So if you want a great breakfast spot in Reno, either with family or friends or after a night of partying- this is the spot to go. And ask for Crystal!!!! Hats off to the cooks who were cranking out the food!! Delicious!
