the Cracker Box

While not an ideal way to spend an anniversary, Sunday marked s a milestone among Carson City restaurants, with one having set a standard for both longevity and customer loyalty.

It was 40 years ago May 10, 1980 that the Cracker Box diner, located at 402 East William Street, opened its doors and has since served its famed breakfast and lunches from scratch to hungry patrons who will tell you how they savor the homestyle diner atmosphere as much as they do the food.

Here is a partial list of local restaurants that are offering take out and/or delivery during the COVID-19 shutdown. We will be adding more soon. If you want to add a restaurant to the list, please email the name of the restaurant, address, phone number and if they are offering take out and/or delivery to kc@carsonnow.org. Thanks.
