Rooms are nice, but if you happen to get placed near the pool area, you're lucky enough to have a SURPRISE leaf blower alarm GUARANTEED at 07:00 every day! This lovely treat continues all the way until 09:00. The hotel staff did not warn us of this nor did they have one thing to say except it HAS TO BE DONE or the pool doesn't open. Location and rooms are good, but the inconsideration is a bit too much for a restful night.... Or God forbid you want to sleep in. 0/10.

This is NOT a Holiday Inn or like brand so don’t compare it to that type of hotel! Excellent value!! Clean Comfortable beds Quiet Huge room 2 sinks in our double room Large television screen Nice patio Large bath towel On the negative side the hotel needs a complete makeover. Carpet is very old. Toilet seat was so scratched it looked like poop on it. Blankets had holes in them. For the price this is a great place.

I can’t thank Megan enough for saving me during my stay at the Maverick Hotel & Casino in Elko, NV. It was around 3–4 AM when I realized I needed a room, but it was that tricky time of night when check-in isn’t usually possible. Somehow, Megan was able to work her magic and get both myself and my dad into the system so that when we arrived at 9 AM, we were able to check in right away. Because of her help, I was able to get some much needed rest before my 3-hour online proctored exam later that day. Honestly, she saved not only my trip but also my grade. Her professionalism, resourcefulness, and kindness went above and beyond. Thank you, Megan, you are a lifesaver, sorry it took me so long!

The rooms are past outdated, its an old facility with residual odors. Luckily the room we had allows the window to open for ventilation. AC unit is lacking, the rooms were clean but the bed is way too soft.

This hotel is badly in need of an update. Carpets and fixtures are easily 30 years old (recognized the fixtures we put in my dad's house in 1991!) We were given the wrong keys to a room that wasn't ready (beds still unchanged) then put in a room that had a funky smell. The sliding glass door barely moved, the tub was clogged, and when I told the front desk I wanted a functional shower, the lady responded, "Aren't you checking out tomorrow?" (No one unclogged the shower.) The place was mostly empty, and that should have been a red flag. Unless this place gets renovated and/or new management, stay elsewhere.

I've been coming here for years with no problems.But today, I have tickets that add up to a hundred and fifty dollars.No, machine will take them so I can't play them they won't cash out at the kiosk, and when I asked an employee, what I could do, they said, wait around till the internet goes back up. There's nothing they can do. So I have a life and can't hang around this building for the rest of the day. And I have to go back to work without eating. Because I have tickets and not any of my money. Don't come to this building today.They will just keep your money until the internet goes back up? Whaa?

I’ve been trying to call them for over 30 minutes and their lines don’t go through. I had an unpleasant encounter with an older gentleman that is an employee here. He has a cane and a big nose. I was going about 7 miles per hour in the parking lot. And slowed down for a speed bump and i saw that he was trying to reach the other side of the parking lot to the building’s sidewalk but completely out of the way from my vehicle passing him by. I went to go check out at the front desk and as I was leaving, he met me on the outside and confronted me saying that I was speeding and going too fast asking a rhetorical question “are you trying to kill someone?” So I told him ‘no that I would keep a slower speed in mind for next time’ but he wouldn’t get out of my way was blocking the exit and I told him that I was trying to leave and he replied with “then slow down.” And I aggressively responded with “thank you” then as I was leaving, he called me a racial slur. I don’t live here and so I just decided to leave, but if I was management, I would seek to terminate this employee

Basque restaurant
American restaurant
Restaurant
Toki Ona is a popular restaurant known for its fusion of American and Basque cuisine. The menu offers a variety of dishes, from Basque omelets with chorizo to Sarandeado prawns. One of their specialties is the tasty steak sandwich, which is highly recommended. The restaurant also serves the traditional Picon Punch, Nevada's unofficial state drink. Customers have praised the friendly wait staff and generous portion sizes at reasonable prices.
This was our first time in Elko, passing through on a cross-country trip. While researching we found this restaurant with quite high ratings and, as we had never had Basque food we wanted to give it a try. OMG did we make the right decision! Apparently every entry comes as a multi-course meal. First an excellent chicken soup was brought out, followed by a quite nice creamy garlic salad. Then the main course came along with small sides of spaghetti, green beans, a sort of a rice pilaf and quite nice mini loaf of bread. My wife had a pork chop while I went with the lamb chops and we were both extremely thrilled with our choices. The wait staff were quite attentive and prompt as well as patient while answering our several questions. Then, to put an excellent cap on the whole evening, my wife ordered the bread pudding for dessert. She is an extremely harsh critic on the subject of bread puddings and said this is quite probably tied as one of the two best she's ever had. And the helpings were not at all skimpy, we had quite a stack of leftovers. We definitely will return to this restaurant if we are back in the area and so should you.

Had a lunch of chicken wings (that are pretty large) and a lunch special of pork tenderloin covered with grilled onions, garlic, and pepper. The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was so friendly and attentive. I'd definitely like to come back and try their dinner as well. Highly recommend.
Joseph H — Google review
Their full parking lot last Sunday afternoon confirmed to us that we should give them a try, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. SO much food, large portions, and the sides that are included with everything can really put the volume of food over the top. The staff really hustles, and it can be pretty loud, however we felt the banging dishes and customer ruckus added to the unique atmosphere.

Amazing philly cheese steak, needed my coffee, and couldn't be happier to have found Toki Ona. Great vibes, great service, I got my coffee so fast it immediately reminded me of 1408 with the crazy room service. Great place with great food, 10/10.

Stepping into Toki Ona, I felt like I had wandered into an age-old Basque boarding house, where every guest is treated like family and every plate is prepared with the kind of care that speaks to tradition. For our first visit, my husband dove into a dish that could’ve fed a whole cuadrilla: tender pork chops paired with a colorful spread of pasta salad, rice with peas, carrots, and corn, and a generous helping of green beans that would make any amuma (grandmother) proud. As a bariatric vegetarian, I was more limited in my options but still found warmth in the classic comfort of a grilled cheese and the cozy companion that was the Ana potato—fluffy, savory, and soul-soothing. Before we even got to the main course, we were welcomed with fresh-baked Basque bread (a hug in loaf form) and a zesty salad topped with a dressing that whispered garlic, embraced mayo, and kissed olive oil. We passed on dessert this time—only because our bellies waved the white flag—but I’ve already got my eyes set on the tiramisu for our next round. If the starters are any indication, dessert will be just as soul-satisfying. In true Basque spirit, the portions are generous, the flavors comforting, and the hospitality unassuming yet warm. Toki Ona may translate to “the good place,” but I’d add “the right place”—especially when you’re hungry for something real.

I had reservations at the Days Inn, right next door to Toki Ona. I looked at the menu, and thought this place deserved a shot. I was correct. The food and atmosphere says 'family'. A 'must do'...

Food was great, large portions, cooked to perfection. My chicken fried steak was an actual steak, not ground beef or minute steak. Service was super friendly. 2 YEARS LATER, driving thru again and decided to stop for dinner. OMG! So much food, and so good! I had the crab stuffed shrimp and mushrooms (amazing!), hubby had sautéed shrimp (spicy! 😘), and MIL had the senior portion of liver and onions. All the sides were served family style, PLUS soup, PLUS salad, PLUS bread. Couldn't even contemplate dessert, but I'm sure they're all a delicious as our dinner was!

La Fiesta is a well-established Mexican restaurant located in the heart of Elko, Nevada. Since 1997, this family-owned eatery has been dedicated to providing a warm and friendly atmosphere along with a wide selection of authentic, traditional, and contemporary Mexican dishes. Customers can expect generous portions of food served in a casual setting.

Absolutely LOVE their food here, 10/10 recommend eating here with your family. They offer the traditional chips and salsa upon sitting down, accompanied with a delicious cabbage (coleslaw like) small side. The amount of food you receive given the prices is more than reasonable! Fantastic customer service and atmosphere here is great as well. (The blue plate features a kid's tamale dish).

Good restaurant- food was good. I do feel like it could be more authentic. No other salsa available beside the chip salsa and your regular pantry condiments. I also feel that for the price of the menu items the portions could have been bigger. Overall a good experience. Customer Service was exceptional... was sat right away and waitress was very tentative.

Busy place on a Friday night! The food was tasty. Ordered a combo plate of shredded beef taco and carne asada enchiladas. The rice was flavored nicely. Thecrefried beans were too salty for my taste. There were two birthdays being celebrated and the wait staff brought out sombreros and sang. The bartender did a good job with the top shelf margarita.

If you have already tried the Basque-style menu, visit the charming McAdoos for a fresh and gourmet brunch or head to Stray Dog for their house-made pizza and extensive selection of beers. For a more adventurous dining experience, Machis Saloon and Grill offers an eclectic menu consisting of made-from-scratch pastas, prime rib, and more. A recent visitor enjoyed their Fallmosa, a delicious autumn twist on the classic Mimosa.
At first glance the prices had my eyebrows raised, but once served we quickly realized this restaurant serves quality ingredient food, as well as a beautiful taste of culture in our little town of Elko. We found the food to be delicious and filling, making our money spent that much more worth it. The coffee was brewed wonderfully and we enjoyed the rich flavor. Service is fun and engaging here making it a great place for all kinds of customers.

We found this gem after exhausting our search for "good food" for a few hours. God led us to one of our best meals in weeks. The service was all one could ask for the staff was friendly and didn't miss a thing. Being a retired server I have high expectations. My husband enjoyed his burger and I throughly enjoyed the Grilled Chicken sandwich. The roasted red peppers sparked a new fondness for them! The house specialty potatoes are worth the return trip. WE WILL BE BACK!

Nice little spot. Food is different from other restaurants in the area. My kid says it reminds him of a "hipster restaurant". Different is good specially when all other places are similar. It definitely is a bit pricy. The only drop in star is to really note on the time of day you go and the price. It can be very busy and in the mornings it seems to be the gathering of the towns snotty stay at home moms who go grab their mimosas and just bicker about people.

Dreez is a popular spot with a huge menu and generous portions at the right price. The food is hot, delicious, and well-presented. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the overall experience wonderful. Some customers have noticed improvements in their visits over time. While there were some hiccups with takeout orders, the atmosphere was lovely and the service was great.
What can I say, the food here is outstanding, the services is super friendly and the feel of the place is welcoming and fun! In the past, my wife and I have been frequenting a couple of other popular breakfast restaurants whenever we passed through town and while they are good too, I think this place is our new favorite. On our recent visit, my wife got their Belgium Sugar Waffle and I got the Peruvian Benny and both were not only unique (or at least to us anyway), they were delicious as well. I should note that while there is a lot of seating available, the place was packed, even at the counter and with more people waiting to be seated. That said, they do have a really nice outdoor eating area as well and it looked like there were seats to be had out there. Parking can be found along the street but it is somewhat limited. However, there is plenty more to be found in the parking lot across the street.

I went to Jr's Bar & Grill on a Tuesday evening around 5pm. The smell of cigarettes from the casino section didn't linger into the restaurant, which was surprisingly enjoyable. Although it took some time for our food to arrive since we only ordered appetizers, the servings turned out to be larger than expected. The waitress was amazing and regularly checked up on us while we waited for our food. She even apologized on behalf of the kitchen.
Excellent food and service! Wow! We were so impressed that we came back two nights in a row. The meals were delicious, not at all "casino food." The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. Our favorites were the chicken fried steak and gravy, the burgers, and roasted veggies. Can't wait to come back soon!

The food took some time to get to me and my partner, but we just ordered appetizers. Didn't realize how big the servings would be. The waitress we had was amazing and checked up on us when we were waiting for our food, she even apologized on behalf of the kitchen. When we used a coupon for the free beer, she let us know our options and was really good on communication. I felt iffy about the host though, didn't really acknowledge me, spaced out when we were waiting to be seated, didn't even ask or check to see my ID when ordering a beer. Hope that it was just a "bad night". Would still come here again.

Traditional American restaurant
The Coffee Mug is a casual café offering a variety of American dishes and baked goods. The menu features an array of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Customers have praised the friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and ample seating. The food is consistently good with generous portions.
Cool place to grab some breakfast, lunch or dinner. I got the maybe Mexican omelette with extra avocado a side of bacon and sour cream. Coffee and some more coffee. They have in-house made desserts. Look at the hand sized cookies, small banana bread loaf. Homemade pies and cinnamon rolls. To finish the dining experience you can also get a milkshake vanilla chocolate or strawberry. It's worth a stop and I'll be back if I can.

Excellent, solid breakfasts, especially if you're up early (opens at 6 am). The chorizo skillet was delicious and I got it with plain potatoes (no peppers or onions) on request. The huevos rancheros were also good, but heavy, with ground beef along with the eggs and the tortilla buried at the bottom. Good coffee, good black tea (also several green and herbal teas).

My wife and I came here because our hotel clerk told us it was family run with great food. We love family run and the food did not disappoint. The decor is up to date and large enough to seat about 100 for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The prime rib was perfectly cooked and came with au jus and excellent horseradish. Dinner included large salad, potato, vegetables and a dinner roll. Desserts are homemade. Carrot cake slice was like a 1/4 of the cake. Service was top notch and fast. Highly recommend!

Great breakfast! Spacious dining area and wonderful service. Hand breaded chicken fried steak. Homemade country gravy. Its hard to find hand breaded chicken friend steak anymore. My husband said his was excellent. I had a ham and cheese omelette. Both of us had hash browns and they were cooked to perfection, browned and crispy without being burnt and not drenched in oil. Coffee was good. Our waitress(didn't catch her name)was attentive and friendly. The food came quickly and was hot. Legit retro diner that we will stop at again if traveling through Elko.

Took an hour and a half for everyone at my table to get food. Half the table got their food first and the rest had to sit and watch them eat. Paid $32 for a fillet mignon to be medium rare and it was well done. Rice bowl was all mushy and gross, miso soup was all subpar. On top of poor service was forced to participate in an auto gratuity of 18% despite terrible experience. For those prices and wait definitely not worth it. Save your time and money.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Himiko, Dave Baileys sushi restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was warm and inviting, with a modern yet cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Dave clearly pours his heart into Himiko, and it shows in every detail, from the fresh, beautifully crafted sushi to the impeccable service and tasty drinks of all varieties. Carly and Madi, our waitress, was an absolute gem! Her friendly energy and genuine enthusiasm for the menu made the evening even more special. She recommended the chef’s special dragon roll and a sake pairing that were out of this world—perfectly balanced flavors and stunning presentation. Alisha checked in just enough to make us feel cared for without ever being intrusive. The sushi at Himiko was hands-down some of the freshest I’ve ever had, with each bite bursting with flavor. The attention to quality and creativity in the rolls really set this place apart. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! Dave and Alisha, you’ve got a winner with Himiko—five stars all the way!

This is their advertised "smash" burger ($23) While the burger itself was decent , it was in no way a real smash burger. The chefs clearly dont understand what a smash burger is or even the point of it. Disappointed. We live in the age of information so there is no excuse for this when I can make a better smash burger at home on my griddle. Will not be spending my money here anytime soon. I'll check back on them in a year or two

The Star Hotel in Elko is a long-standing family-style restaurant and lounge that has been serving traditional Basque dishes since 1910. It's a no-frills establishment that offers a wide variety of delicious meals, making it a cherished dining spot for over a century. Visitors can enjoy the authentic Basque experience and savor dishes like the steak sandwich and bread pudding.
This classic basque restaurant in Elko is well worth a visit. The service is excellent. The food selection is more than adequate and the food itself looks and tastes delicious. You will not go away hungry, that’s for certain. A very nice and congenial bar area too. An all around great dining experience. Steaks, fish, lamb and chicken is on the menu prepared in a variety of ways. I had the 1/2 fried chicken and it was excellent.

Compared to other Basque restaurants I've been to it was pretty similar. However the spaghetti was bland like straight up tasted like chef boyardee bland. The lamb was really good and the salad was good too. The beans were ok nothing special and the fries were reasonable. They make an ok picon punch but no complementary wine which is normal at Basque restaurants. But whatever people have told me a million times to eat here and I finally did but yeah it was overall meh

Tons of food. 3 kinds of beans, bread, French fries, salad, and cabbage soup. Food was just ok. Ribeyes weren't very tender or flavorful and the salad was more like coleslaw it had so much dressing. Fries, soup and bread were good. We drove out from Idaho specifically to try this place and despite the average food, the service was outstanding and food and drinks came out at lightening speed. The place was absolutely packed but we got a table immediately and Sydney made the whole experience worth the drive.

Wait time was over 30 minutes, steak was unseasoned, very bland. Wife's filet was unseasoned as well, the lobster was chewy and overcooked. Spaghetti was runny. Felt like everything was thrown on a plate right out of a can. Alcohal beverages were watered down. The worst and THE MOST money I've ever spent on food. For a restaurant that has a lot of good reviews it was very disappointing. I do not recommend. We will never be going back. Place was a total rip off.

Food was not appetizing at all, ESPECIALLY for the price. I ordered the Filet and Lobster. Filet was not seasoned well, very bland. Lobster was chewy and overcooked. Alcohol drinks were watered down.

Was there with my co-workers I tried some of one of their pulled pork, some onion rings, the medium rare steak, I also added a little salad to my meal. The country fried steak, the salad, an Arnold Palmer, and also had one shot of jagermeister was only 27.33. I'll definitely be back there again

Way to expensive. There were 4 of us ordering breakfast. The menu said 7.99 for 2 eggs hamburger steak and hash browns. We all read it the same way. When the bill came it was 17.99 When I questioned the bill she said the 7.99 was for a larger meal and the way it was listed on the menu it looked like that was the price. We will never go there again.

Went in to eat lunch today at 12:00 saw a lady run after her kiddo real quick, left her to go box on the table came back, the bus boy had already thrown her to go boxes away. She asked where it was politely instead of telling her he threw it away he pulled out of the trash. Mind you I was sitting right next to them when she opened it hair and trash were in the to go box. Now why as an establishment would you dig someone’s food out of the trash and hand it back. when she asked if this was out of the trash his response was “perhaps”!!! I for one won’t be eating there anymore I hope the lady goes in and complains to upper management he didn’t even feel embarrassed or apologize to this poor lady. What a disgraceful thing to do and stockmens YOU as a company should feel embarrassed as this employee is the face of your company….. disgusting

American restaurant
Machi's Saloon & Grill is a cozy, brick-lined joint with a long bar that serves up delicious American fare along with an extensive wine list and draft beer. The prime rib, especially when ordered on the bone, is highly recommended for its exceptional flavor. Pair it with their Caymus Cabernet for a delightful dining experience. While reservations are only accepted for groups of 6, the wait is worth it as patrons thoroughly enjoy their meals.
As a huge foodie, chef and traveler, I can say without a doubt the food here is top notch! I had the chicken parmigiana, it was amazing! The chicken was cooked to perfection, the noodles Al dente, and the sauce was perfection! I look forward to coming back in two weeks to try a new item on the menu! BTW dinner is at 5pm sharp! Also, the home made potato chips are great with the spicy dip!

Been there twice, had the prime rib both times as it's amongst the best I've had. Pretty funny, last time I was there I got talking to the guy next to me at the bar and said to him how good it was.

We were in town for one night & this place had great reviews so we walked to it from our hotel. It was a Monday night but very busy! It's a fairly small place with a 1/3 of it being the bar & the rest the dining area, I would call it a locals spot with a cool vibe. The service was great & the food was excellent! The menu has a variety of options, some of them Basque inspired, that seemed to be a theme in Elko. We both got the "shrimp alfredo", not it's name on the menu but you get the idea, it was excellent & wow, 9-10 pieces of jumbo shrimp, I've never received that many shrimp in any dish, very generous! We shared the carrot cake which I'm pretty sure was made in house as it was a bit unique but very good! All in all, a great evening out & we would come back if ever in town again!

The food, perfect. Beverages, literal magic. The options, carefully selected. This establishment is my very favorite in all of Elko thus far and has been for 2 years. The staff is beyond reproach when it comes to service and culinary art. Are the "Steaks" low in the area? (Pun intended) In the sense that you can order 10 steaks medium rare and get well done 9 times? Yes. Water without ice? 50/50! When I order here, I get exactly what I asked for. Have a question, you will receive an articulate answer. The only travesty about this place is when they are absolutely packed and the special of the day runs out. Pay close attention to their hours and what they serve.

I want to hear I didn't dine in but the place seemed really busy it was a Wednesday in the evening maybe around 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. For how busy they were my coworkers and I were helped promptly. The staff answered all our questions. I ordered the Wednesday night dinner special it was a braised lamb, it came with a dinner salad, a dinner roll, I think it was polenta on the side, and then there's some sort of brown sauce kind of like gravy but not quite as thick very tasty. The meat was practically melting off the bone. It was $38 and some change, definitely one of the pricier options on the menu, there were more than a few entrees that were well under $20. I absolutely would recommend this place to anybody and I look forward to sitting down and getting to enjoy the atmosphere. I should have took pictures of the food it was presented pretty well even though it was in a takeout box

The first night I planned on having the prime rib but they were sold out. Call ahead! I had the basque pasta, just a wonderfuly hearty dish. Full of flavor and home made noodles. A true warm up taste of home, hearty meal. The next night I went we called ahead to ensure we got the special. We each had the roasted long bone short rib. Absolutely fall off the bone, melty delicious. The meat was incredibly flavorful and jucy. It came with mashed potatoes and all the veggies traditional to a roast, plenty of left overs for lunch. Great atmosphere, great people. A must if your in Elko. They also make Picons! A traditional Basque drink. Sorry no pictures🙃.

We really do appreciate our oldest movie theater. The only downfall is they only have 4 theater rooms open because one is leaking from the ceiling.

We recently visited Crystal 5 to watch a movie with our granddaughter, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. All she wanted was to see Lilo & Stitch and enjoy some popcorn—like any kid going to the movies. We were shocked when we were told there was no popcorn or food available because the concession stand had already been shut down. It was only 7:20 PM, and movies were still starting! Going to the movies just isn't the same without snacks, especially for little ones who look forward to it. It felt like poor planning on the theater’s part and really put a damper on what was supposed to be a fun family evening. We hope they reconsider their concession policies in the future—because movie night without popcorn just doesn't work. --- Would you like a shorter version for something like Google or Yelp?

We all know theatres aren't fully staffed enough or equipped to handle the messes caused here. The Crystal 5 does great in that department and does their best to be on top of it. What I love about this location (not just because when I worked there years back) is the history and love within it. They still have the oldest popcorn machine I know of there and it still makes the BEST popcorn in town. If you're ever thinking of good popcorn and/or scary movies, look here first.

Cowboy Joe Downtown is a charming café in Elko, Nevada that offers a modern yet rustic cowboy town ambiance. The friendly baristas provide excellent customer service and make visitors feel appreciated. The café has a nice selection of beverages and decent pastry options. It's known for serving the best cup of coffee in the area, with baristas who are friendly and offer various options to patrons.
I stopped in at Cowboy Joe in Elko, Nevada, looking for a simple cup of coffee and walked out wondering why every café doesn’t aim this high. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by more syrups and powders than a general store’s got supplies. Hazelnut, caramel, Irish cream… if you can dream it, they can stir it right into your cup. It’s like they handed a cowboy the keys to Madison Avenue. Every flavor is crafted with care, every detail speaking of pride and possibility. You don’t just order coffee here; you commission it. The baristas wield flavors like six-shooters, ready to whip up the exact drink you didn’t even know you needed. If you’re rolling through Elko and think coffee’s just coffee, Cowboy Joe will set you straight. Out here, espresso is an experience, and they’ve got the arsenal to prove it.

Peace Park is a place where it's difficult to find the right words to describe why you can't visit again. However, if you follow it on Facebook or Real, you'll see how challenging and unique this experience will be. It's like embarking on an incredible final adventure in Virginia. There are even plans to create amazing content for a YouTube channel, with hopes of earning money within 48 hours.
This is one of my “Go-To” parks. It lives up to its name because even when you aren’t the only person there it is still just as peaceful and serene as if you were. I absolutely love the greenery hills and the maze when you first enter the park. I go our to set up picnics or just layout and read a good book.
Seretha S — Google review
Peace Park is a beautiful retreat, offering a serene space to unwind and reflect. Even with the joyful sounds of children playing and the occasional baseball being tossed back and forth, there was an undeniable sense of tranquility—almost meditative. One of the most striking elements of the park is the prayer wheel, a symbol of peace and mindfulness. Unfortunately, signs of disrespect were evident, reminding visitors that sacred spaces deserve care. Hopefully, karma was swift for those who didn’t treat it as such. A quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, found on a sign, summed up the essence of this place perfectly: *"The landscape belongs to those who look at it."* It’s a reminder that nature’s beauty is meant to be appreciated—not tarnished. A small request to future visitors: **please** pick up after yourselves. Finding and removing discarded plastic bottles and food wrappers was disheartening. A place meant for reflection and peace should be respected by all who come to enjoy it. Despite the minor disturbances, Peace Park is worth visiting. Next time, I’ll return when it's quieter, ready to soak in its true essence.

Some kids were practicing their instruments. The grass felt great under my feet after driving so many hours. I enjoyed the wind art. There were so many kind chalk messages on the sidewalk. This park felt peaceful and safe. We lost our air pods in the parking lot. It's a long shot, but if you see this and would consider returning them if you find them, we would be so grateful

Peaceful and quiet. There are lots of local herbs and plants that grow there. Very beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful park. Sadly all these cigarette butts were scattered around the Labyrinth. Being a former smoker and probably littering my butts during my younger years, my husband and I decided on some restitution of our past actions.

Blind Onion Pizza

Pizza restaurant
Blind Onion Pizza is a chain that offers specialty pizzas with thick crusts and large slices. They also serve draft microbrews and have TV screens showing sports. The service at this establishment is highly praised, with customers loving their experiences here. It is recommended as an amazing stop in Elko for date nights or celebrations. The staff goes above and beyond to resolve any issues that may arise, ensuring a smooth dining experience.
The Blind Onion's gluten free pizza is delicious. The staff was especially careful to prevent cross contamination. The pizza tasted sooooo good. The crust was super yummy, and the dairy free cheese was amazing. The price was appropriate considering the special care they took to listen to our needs and execute so flawlessly. We are medically necessary to remain gluten free, and had no adverse effects. Thank You Blind Onion for making our evening out special.

The only negative about this place is the time it took to fulfill the order. We ordered zucchini sticks, a salad, and a slice of pizza. The pizza came out first after waiting 25 minutes; then came the salad 5 minutes later and finally the appetizer a few minutes later. If you’re on a time crunch this is not the place! The food however was delicious. The salad was large with plenty of extras. The pizza slice was actually 2 and was enough for 2 . The zucchini sticks were perfect and plentiful.

After meaning to try Blind Onion since moving to Elko, I finally made it—and I’m happy to say the food did not disappoint! My husband ordered the Sicilian sandwich, while I opted for a cheese pizza with onion and black olives. Both were solid choices—my pizza had a unique dough with a hint of sweetness, while the sandwich hit the mark with hearty meat and generous cheese coverage. We also indulged in an order of fried pickles. While they had a nice crunch, they lacked the tangy bite I typically expect. To finish off the meal, we grabbed gelato from their creamery to go—a delightful touch that added to the experience. While the food and flavors held up, I did have one concern—there was a gentleman in a green shirt with long hair walking around the food prep area with an open beer in hand and vaping near the kitchen. It was unexpected to see this in the restaurant setting, especially in a food preparation space. Not sure about the regulations on indoor vaping in Elko, but it seemed like something management should address to maintain a professional and food-safe environment. Overall, Blind Onion delivered good food, and I’d return, but I hope they ensure their food prep area remains focused on cleanliness and professionalism to keep the experience top-notch.

Worst pizza I’ve had in awhile! Was told the super slice was a quarter of the extra large. It’s not, it’s an eighth. No flavor, pizza wasn’t even cooked. I don’t ask for money back and I ate it. Poeple should know not to eat this…
Robby D — Google review
Ordered pizza 3 hours ahead for when we needed it and they sent me a ready text so we went and when we got there it wasn’t ready so they put it in the oven I asked how long it would take they said 15 mins so I left. Picked up my pizzas a bit later but by the time I went to eat it was too late the kids had already gotten a slice. They burnt 2 pizzas bad. My guest (visiting) were all disappointed especially after we told them they say it’s good pizza. I’ll never order here again. This pic is the leftovers after we had to eat it.

The service was good. They were experiencing technical difficulties with the register when I arrived, which were resolved in a couple of mins. They checked on my order multiple times and communicated with me my food ETA. They appear to use a large stone oven? The atmosphere was also good. Lots of guests who seemed to be enjoying themselves. I got take out. Food was meh. I got the garlic cheesy bread. It looked decent. The cheese was inconsistently spread, too thin in places, too thick in places. Decent amount of cheese. Bread was buttered prior to being cheesed, which gave decent flavor. And a 12 inch Greek pizza. The pesto sauce was overpowered by the hefty amount of cheese(ricotta and mozzarella, I believe). Very cheese heavy. The artichokes and onions were also good separately, but as a whole pie, they couldn't really be tasted. The sun dried tomatoes also tasted good by themselves, but were in spots not spread over whole pizza, causing bites of pizza that tasted only like sundried tomato. The green olives and onions were fine but didn't really add or subtract from the pie for me. The crust is thick and heavy. The pie could have been cooked longer for both the bread and pizza. The cheese was not fully melted. I would give the pizza a 2, and the bread a 3. The dipping sauce a 5. The shining star was their marinara dipping sauce. It was slightly sweet, thick, and tasty. I did not finish the food, I would not order it again. I would try some of their other things, though, next time I'm in town. I would also request light cheese in the future to see if that helps along with a well-done cook. Top was not fully cooked, bottom was cooked well. The ingredients seem to be of good quality. The closest comparison is flying J/pilot pizza. Though if given the choice between the 2, I would pick flying J/pilot. They also have ice cream and root beer floats, though I didn't try them. Total bill was 40 dollars. For a 12 inch Greek pizza and a cheesy garlic bread.

Cool place for a beer, pizza, and wings. They have a friendly staff and fast service. Plus pool tables next door!
Steve B — Google review
Took over 30 minutes to get two sandwiches. Side of marinara sauce served ICE cold with nothing to spread it on with. Waitress sat order on table and left with no interaction. I have had better tasting meat ball sandwich at Subway. Wife couldn't eat her turkey sandwich, said bread couldn't be chewed. I will not eat here again.

Hunter Ray’s: Burgers, Boils & Beers

Permanently Closed
Hamburger restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Elko, Hunter Ray’s: Burgers, Boils & Beers is a delightful spot that promises quality food and service to locals and visitors alike. With a cozy atmosphere, it’s perfect for grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a leisurely meal. The menu features classic favorites like burgers, fries, and shakes at reasonable prices.
Nothing describes a good restaurant better than an empty plate. Great burgers and a huge variety of beers. If you are still hungry after your burger, get a milkshake to go.

Really cool place with great burgers . The waitresses was super nice.
Tim S — Google review
It was fantastic. The burger was excellent with exactly what we asked for on it, no mistakes is always a plus. The fries were spectacular. Homemade onion rings what is better? Oh wait, super cold beer is! Friendly and attentive staff.
Jolene W — Google review
The menu is basic. Burgers fries and shakes. The menu prices are set right. The hand breaded onion rings are spot on. The fries were excellent. The fry sauce was as good as red robin. Probably the best hamburger in elko. The only minor drawback is everything is cooked to order making it take a little longer. Can't wait to try the shakes.
John T — Google review
Good burgers, hot pots only for dinners... burgers similar to In&Out Burger, fries yummy. Only reason for 4 star was expense... I consider the price a bit much... Will return to try Hot Pots, but again seemed pricey just glancing at the menu. Will update after trying dinner...
Bonnie H — Google review
The atmosphere is really nice, I placed a To-go order for a burger and fries and it came out really fast. $8 is a good price for the quality of the beef even though it’s smaller than say Stockman’s coffee shop across the street. Their shakes are huge Update: I eat here for lunch a lot and I like that I always get a huge tomato and a lot of lettuce of my burger. Try one with grilled onions and grilled jalapeños, it’s the best burger in town.
J W — Google review
Decent hamburgers only two to choose from, just size difference (small, big, double) and with or without cheese. Service was good plenty of attending workers during the dinner rush. Only 4 stars for now because I didn't try a broil or see anyone get one, may edit later.
Luis S — Google review
This place is hit or miss. The food is always 100% great, best burgers in town hands down. However sometimes you get your food in 15 min, sometimes its 45 min or more, my last visit we walked out after waiting to be seated for 20 min. We wernt even acknowledged that we were there or that they would be with us as soon as they could.

Rigobertos

$$$$cheap
Mexican restaurant
Rigobertos is a recommended spot for tacos and burritos. A road-trip stop revealed the shrimp cocktail, which had a pleasant, mildly spicy flavor reminiscent of a bloody mary. The tostadas accompanying it were made from hard flat corn tortillas. The crispy and tasty carnitas were also worth trying. The beans were exceptionally good too. Another patron ordered the Chile verde plate, which caught everyone's attention upon arrival due to its enticing appearance and great taste.
Very good chili rellano and great carnitas burritos. Very pleased. Better rellano than Garibaldi's and La Fiesta. Super hot red sauce and mild green chili sauce was great.

Today I was not happy with my meal. I ordered the number 4, 2 cheese enchiladas, rice and beans. My food was room temp and the cheese was not melted. I asked my husband how his food was and he said cold. The place was slightly busy but that is not an excuse.

Late evening visit. Ordered carne asada and carnitas tacos, large not street tacos, that came with guacamole. They were large, good, with lots of meat. We walked across the street from the Rodeway Inn for a late dinner.

The food was hot and fresh. The quality was excellent and the quantity was plentiful. The server was very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you like Mexican food.

Not bad.. has a good flavor.. fresh and clean! It's not a fancy restaurant however it's good!
Sun L — Google review
Called ahead to order for pick-up. It wasn't a straightforward process, so I'm not sure they've had much experience with this yet. The employee didn't ask my name for the order, tell me the total amount, or give me an exact pick-up time. There was some confusion about whether rice & beans were included with the meal, so my husband accidentally ended up ordering a side of extra rice and beans (which was fine). The cheese enchilada that I ordered was rubbery and the lettuce on top was wilted. The side of rice and beans was average-tasting. But my husband's order of the bean & cheese burrito was actually quite good. Overall, my experience here was just okay--I'd probably go somewhere else first before trying here again.

If you are passing through this little town make sure to stop in for some really tasty food at this restaurant. Just a great meal!!

My husband and I each ordered a breakfast burrito. I got the chorizo and he got the muchaka. Absolutely delicious!!! The only problem was they were HUGE. I was only able to eat half of mine. We decided if we ever come through Elko Nevada again we need to stop for dinner.
