Great place to go to for food, liquor, beer and butcher meats. I had the Pastrami Cheese Burger with Fries, great meat but the burger was a little over done but still a great meal. All the food items are sold alacart just an fyi. The service staff are very outgoing and very polite.

Cute and cozy establishment with wonderful, friendly staff. It was a cold day so we had the soup of the day, sandwiches draft beer. Everything was delicious! We got homemade brownies for dessert and bought bacon from the deli case to take home with us. They also have a larger selection of craft beers from popular breweries for sale. Will definitely go again when back in the area.

Brought my parents, wife and son. My son did the pastrami on sourdough, said it was good but definitely not much meat. Dad did the same but as a panini and enjoyed it. The wife did the Ortega sandwich and liked it a lot and so did my mom. I always do a mom burger which is great but this I time I did the three cheese because the person taking the order couldn't figure out how to punch in the grilled mushroom, onion and Swiss burger. I'll pass on the three cheese. I would also recommend getting a basket of the fresh cut fries for two or more people. Very tasty. Picked up some beer for the road as always. And a phenomenal selection. Was disappointed with the bartender who seemed irritated about me asking about hats to bring back for my buddy. Hopefully it was just a one off day.

Second time here and I loved it just as much if not more than last time!! Fantastic beer selection, no denying that. One of the best chicken corn chowders I've ever ever had!' Great sales on wine!! Can't wait to try the strawberry Chardonnay cheese I bought too!!!

Always a great deli, huge selection of wines and whiskey. An actual deli with cuts of beef, fresh sides and local ice cream too. Service was great! Inside and out was clean and well laid out. Great selection of beers too. So much to choose from here. We love this place.

Minden Meat & Deli has a hole in the wall vibe, and more whiskey than I thought could possibly fit into one location. The seating area was lined with shelves of wine and bottles upon bottles of whiskey, rye, burboun, etc. This gave it a very old Nevada feel, but I do wonder how on earth they keep track of all of that inventory. For food, I couldn't decide on a sandwich order so I did the half and half. Half of a tri tip sandwich and half of the chicken bbq sandwich. The tri-tip sandwich came out with nothing on it, no sauce or spread and the people at the counter didn't ask if I wanted anything with it - just if I wanted the deluxe version which added cheese. The tri-tip was good quality, nice and tender but the sandwich really needed a sauce or dip. I did notice that there was an option to add on au jus, which I would have done had I known it was a dry sandwich. The BBQ chicken half was good, tender chicken with a good amount of sauce. I added on sweet potato fries, thank goodness! This is why I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 3. The fries were absolutely delicious. Perfectly crunchy and thin. Overall I think this place could be great, but add some sauces! The only thing offered with the sweet potato fries is ketchup. Offer sides of ranch, honey mustard, or sriracha aioli and you would have the perfect fries!

Stopped by here for lunch and opted for the Ortega Burger and some Beer Batter fires. They had a great section of beers/ciders/kombucha for every taste and I went for Belching Beavers - Viva La Beaver!, which is their peanut butter milk stout w/ cinnamon & coffee, while very good, I prefer their OG peanut butter milk stout. As for the burger, it was a decent size, and the toppings and bun were spot-on. However, I found the burger itself to be a bit overcooked, resulting in a lack of flavor. I had to add salt, which is something I typically never do with my burgers. Next time, I'll be sure to request it cooked to medium to fully savor the flavors. While the fries were tasty, they were a tad too greasy for my liking, possibly due to the beer batter. As a result, I wouldn't order them again. Overall a nice lunch, and I will return to try some of their sandwich selections. Cheers!

The building housing the Minden Meat & Deli was once a Heidi's and maybe a railroad station way before that. I've passed this place a number of times in my US 395 Geno-Gardnerville travels. I only recently stopped in for Lunch as I was serving as an Election worker during the recent presidential preference primary. I only had a half an hour and just barely made it back to work within that time. I attributed that to the relatively slow time it took between my order and picking up the sandwich. There's also a lot going on here, between the deli, meat counter, full bar and alcohol inventory, and seating, making it all a bit confusing. The bottom line though is that my hot sandwich was delicious and with sparkling water and chips, just what I needed to help get me though the afternoon. I do need to come back and peel back this onion that's called the Minden Meat & Deli a little more.
