Landrums is a small but iconic diner located near downtown Reno. It was built in the mid-forties by the Valentine Manufacturing Company in Wichita, Kansas, and shipped by train to its current location. The diner features an Art Deco design with eight stools made of stainless steel.

The diner's concept revolves around a cowboy who sings for his supper. Tommy Thomsen models on guitar while Andy Fleischer is the cook. Tommy is a professional entertainer while Andy is a professional bartender. Andy also appears in the Redeye Express as the bartender.

In 1985, the diner was placed on the State Historical Register and has since become a popular attraction. It's open 24 hours a day and is known for its Chili Cheese Omelets. Notable celebrities such as Clint Eastwood and Bill Cosby have visited and dined at the diner.
