Gold Ranch - Poco Verde

Great stop for gas, coffee and a really good mini mart. Gas prices are way cheaper than California, so a good place to stop if you are going that way.

They changed the menu. Everything is $2-$3 more No more grilled cheese sandwich No more milkshakes If it ain't broke you don't need to fix it

If you are a non-smoker, I don't recommend to eat here. Outside of the air inside smelling of smoke, the water tasted like smoke and the food even tasted like cigarette smoke.

If you need to fuel up your car, get your propane tank refilled, buy lottery tickets, gamble your money on machines, drink a Starbucks coffee, have a craving for jack-in-the box, decide to eat ok-ish diner food, and then grab convenience store snacks before you go, this place is for you. I can't imagine needing all those things at once but that's what you can have. Also a sports bar if you want to stick around especially if you're staying in their RV park. I know...it's perplexing.

I 've been going to Gold Ranch for years and it 's always been a great stopover for gas and gambling and a cocktail on the way back to Truckee. The food is usually great too. I was very disappointed to see that they had fired Dennis. One of my favorite bartenders. I can 't imagine why they would let go of such a valuable asset. The management has all changed and I have to say, not for the better. I saw one gal sloppy drunk hugging everyone and you couldn 't help but overhear her discussing (with some tattooed fellow) how she is going to close the bar at night? This tattooed drunk woman is in charge of the bar? What? What happened to a sense of pride in your job? None of the managers, like April or Marlene would have ever been caught dressed like that and certainly would never have been sloppy drunk at the bar where they work. I think it 's time to start checking out Boomtown 's new place since they made the roundabout easier to get back on freeway. The gas may be more expensive but they usually give you 15 cents off if you swipe your players card. Gold Ranch needs to figure it out, before they lose all their locals. The locals are the bread and butter and what keeps your casino rolling. Gas station will always do well but you won 't get employees if they can 't make money because no one wants to be there. And what is with the red shirts? You 've taken what classiness your employees brought and made it look like a third rate golf club. I sure miss April and Marlene and now Dennis. They brought class and had pride in their work and workplace.
