Our waiter, Dustin, was one of the best we've had. He as attentive, personable and polite. Food was excellent! We had the French Dip, Chicken and bacon sandwich, homemade potato salad and garlic bread. Highly recommend this place if you are in the area.

We love it. Felt like home with a shoot (recreation) out included on the street below. The owner/server was spectacular! Food was what we were looking for, not too heavy but simple and fresh. We came after Hot August Nights and expected a super busy situation. As luck would have it parking right across the street. We support small businesses. We weren't rushed. Food was just right. Prices were a little bit high but didn't detract from the total experience. Owner added a little local gossip to the menu which was fun and humorous! We are simple country mice and we fit right in here Virginia City. Checked all the boxes we have, thanks!

Service was super quick, it was such an adorable, quaint little spot. The food was DELICIOUS omg the sandwiches we had were worth the 3 hour drive. Thank you for having us! We will be back!

This is one of my favorite places to eat! The cafe is a heartwarming, charming, and a welcoming place to be. The staff is friendly and feels like family. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The food today was delicious (as usual). We had the bacon and eggs, blackened salmon Benedict, and the special blueberry venison sausage turned into a Benedict. Everything was cooked beautifully and seasoned perfectly. I can't wait for another amazing meal at Canvas Cafe!

Visited Virginia City with my Daughter. The Cafe was our first stop for some breakfast. I ordered the special biscuits & gravy it was so delicious!! Coffee was hot and fresh. My daughter got a omelette with juice. The servers were so friendly as most are in this little quaint town. There are so many things to look at and the chalk table was a fun way to pass time together. I will be back for lunch!!

Quirky little local spot..... Food is good but not great. Atmosphere is nutty as nutty can be, but I love that type of thing. Have to say I became obsessed with their little piggy salt and petter shaker. The food.... Less obsessed not still filled my belly. Services was good. Being new to this town, o can't wait to checked out all the local spots.

Breakfast choices in Virginia City on an early weekday morning were limited but the Canvas Cafe got 'er done. I was not the only person in here but it didn't get very busy during my time. The same young lady was making coffee, taking orders, cooking and running food. She also ran the register. Not a problem as it didn't really get too busy. I had an omelet which was a little over done. Not great but good enough. This isn't a fancy restaurant and I didn't need fancy today. After clearing plates, I sat with laptops for an hour or so while Virginia City woke up so I could look around. My waitress kept coffee refilled and didn't mind me sitting in the corner and using their Internet for a while. [Round number review 17700 overall - 46 in Nevada - 1221 of 2022.]
