    a dining room with tables and chairs
    Nancy V.

    Are staying at the Red Lion Inn on our way through to Colorado and had dinner here. So glad we did! The space is very nice with Aspen trees that made you feel as if you were dining in a high mountain grove, with lovely muted lights, linen, crystal, comfy booths and lots of space between tables. What stood out are the amazing photographs of horses and cowboys. Not my favorite genre, but the photos are amazing. It really added to the county-elegant vibe of the restaurant, fancy but not fussy. High end, but down to earth. Great balance. The service was very good, friendly but professional - it is what I consider great service in our casual way of life in Nevada. Fresh bread was provided right away. The wine list, while not extensive, had some very nice choices. We ordered a Ferri-Corano Merlot which was full bodied with hints of black cherry and spice. Our wine was brought right away and we were given time to enjoy before ordering. Out food was brought out in a timely manner. My Fillet and my husband's prime rib were cooked to order. My fillet was flavorful and tender but was just a tad dry. Staff were all wearing masks and distancing was in place. The space was not crowded and they have plenty of room in the restaurant to seat people comfortably. So solid 5 star covid rating. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would come back again even if we were not staying at the hotel. We

    Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken
    Jamie S.

    Love this restaurant. We try to stop here every time we pass through Elko. We have yet to have a bad experience here. The wait staff is so nice and friendly and prompt. Nothing better than a good waiter or waitress. Usually we get a cheeseburger with fries and some sort of pasta dish. A big plus is they serve Pepsi products. That goes far with my boyfriend, he's a huge Pepsi drinker. Last time we were there we were there for dinner. He got a cheeseburger with fries and I got the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. So good and had the right amount of garlic in it. They bring a bread basket too and it has this cheese dipping sauce that is so good and honey butter. There are two different types of bread they bring. Will definitely be back again!

    They are a good place to go and have a drink and appetizers. They have a good ambiance in their bar. It seems that their specialty is prime rib and steak. They do offer a variety of other menu items, too. They have a wine list, and a cocktail of the day. I got the prime rib medium. It was a bit tough and not too much flavor. Definitely needed the au jou and horseradish. The bread didn't taste fresh and wasn't warm. The brussels sprouts were overcooked and over salted. I probably wouldn't come back again for dinner, unless they got a different chef. But having said that this is probably the closest thing to fine dining in Elko. It seems like they are trying to compare to a Flemings or Houstons. Which is a great idea, but the food isn't there. They should order bread from Donuts and more - at least that way they would have fresh bread. It's located in the Red Lion casino. They only take reservations for 6 or more and they open at 5 pm. I like the Aspen tree decor, and prefer to sit in the bar - they have plushy booths.

    The ambiance is great!

    Really great experience! The ambiance is perfect for a date night/ special occasion. You're more secluded from the casino that you walk through to get there.... More so than the other dining options available. I ordered the chicken fettuccini which did the job of filling me up. He ordered a steak because we've heard such good things about their beef options. His first steak came out wrong, just cooked well done instead of the requested medium rare, BUT the mistake was fixed and it came out perfect the next time. Overall, the waitress we had was super sweet and we came in 40 minutes before closing so we couldn't of asked for anything more than what we received. This place is a little more $$ than the quality of food but I would recommend it to anyone who's hungry and out in the Elko area. Side note: there was a live performance going on next to the restaurant so we enjoyed some live jazz music which was a great addition to the night!

    I come to Elko a couple of times a year for work and for the motorcycle rally and I have always stayed at the Red Lion. Aspens is a nice place to have a cocktail, some appetizers, and dinner. You can eat at the bar or sit in a comfortable couch and enjoy some peace away from the casino. The food is good and the service is spot on. The restaurant dining room is very nice and is a great place for that special occasion.

    If you haven't had a good family style Basque dinner and should find yourself in Basque country…read more(Northern Nevada, Southern Idaho and Oregon), you need to add The Star onto your itinerary. A classic restaurant in the heart of Elko with roots going back longer than anyone can remember, they have perfected both family style dining, as well as the perfect steak. At a glance the price seems a little higher than you would expect from some place like Texas Roadhouse, until you realize that the entrees come with literally 7 courses. In the photo below, I had the "petite" ribeye which was huge, juicy and perfect cooked, and came with 5 sides. Not included in the multiple sides were the two previous servings of excellent cabbage soup and Basque salad. When dining at the Star, you'll never have to choose between quantity and quality - every entree comes packed with both. Great service, a nice location in the historic Elko downtown, and the infamous Picon Punch all make this a very worthwhile stop.

Though my father's favorite was Château basque, we would often go to Wool Growers. Definitely the most famous of all of the Basque family style restaurants.

Pinchon Punch 2 x blue brain freeze Lamb chops medium rare Family style dinner for one (spaghetti, french fries, beans, cabbage soup, fresh baked bread, salad) Bread pudding Food and cocktails five star all the way. Lamb was cooked perfect. The cabbage soup and spaghetti were delicious. The salad dressing was unique and very enjoyable. French fries were fresh and perfect. We didn't really eat the beans, but homemade bread was fire. But our waitress Jenny was pretty nonexistent. We actually went to the bar and ordered some drinks because we didn't even know if we were going to have a waitress. Finally, when she came to the table, I told her that I pre-ordered some drinks from the bar. She walked away. About 10 minutes later, the bartender brought the cocktails. Jenny came back and asked us what we were ordering. I told her and then she walked away and we really didn't see her again until the Bill. The food and drinks were brought from a variety of people. When we needed some other stuff, I flagged down the waitress for the tables behind us and she happily got us what we needed (water, more fries, etc) I went to the bar and got another cocktail as we would've never gotten another one since we never saw Jenny. The bartender and the other server were quite friendly and helpful . We will happily come back here as the food was just perfect! And it was very nice to eat family style again since it's been quite a few years since I've been to Wool Growers. On a sidenote: Reno used to have a pretty decent Basque restaurant called Santa Fe. We went there quite often and they had the best oxtail stew and they also gave you a small bottle of wine with your dinner complementary... I really miss that place also)

    I'm out here traveling east on the 80 with my crew blasting along the freeway at 80 mph (that's the…read morespeed limit here!) and the crew is grumbling about getting some food. They didn't wanna wait till even Wendover, cause there might not be any good food way out there. OK, so, I pull into the Gold Dust West. I've stopped here before and I do like the food they have at the Grill coffee shop inside the casino. We get seated and drink orders taken. You know I do notice a sandwich on the menu I never had before. It's the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Usually I'd think grilled cheese was a boring sandwich you order for kids or something. But I saw it had bacon and tomato in it. You do have you choice of cheese (besides American) and choice of bread. I got it on sourdough and cheddar cheese along with onion rings ($2.00 extra). I couple of my crew got the same but with fries. The other girl on the crew got the Cali Omelet. Our food arrives and I'm surprised at the heft of the grilled cheese on sourdough. I bite in and wow, this is pretty damn tasty! It's not what I expected at all, better! The other guys liked it too and said they'd get this sandwich again. OK, I was impressed with this new grilled cheese and I think they have it at all the other Gold Dust west locations in Reno and Carson City. If you get to a Gold Dust West Casino, check out this sandwich!

Portion sizes for his sides, however, were generous and satisfying. I went with the penne alla vodka but received penne with marinara instead. While the garlic bread was decent, I missed the creamy, robust vodka sauce that was promised. - Service: A little on the slow side, though staff were polite once they arrived at the table. Overall, the food was decent, but not quite on target. We're planning to give them another try for breakfast -- here's hoping that meal hits closer to the mark.

    May 2026 Elko, N…read more Hmmmmm . . . 3.0 stars. Here is why. Arrived a little after 5 pm on a Friday. Two tables were already sitting. The hostess sat us in a separate room from the main dining room. It was hit brightly by the sun and felt like a second thought of leftover dining. Asked if we could sit in main dining room and she obliged. We asked about the menu and took time to review it. After some time we ordered. My husband had the chicken Alfredo and I ordered the PASTA MILANO which is described as: Chicken, Tomatoes, Mushrooms in a Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce over Penne Pasta. Sounds good right? It could have been good. But it was not. First of all, I never got chicken in the dish. The mushrooms were diced and very few in the dish. The only thing they got right was the tomatoes. I called the waitress over and told her that my dish had no chicken in it. She said well do you want some? I smiled and said well that's what the dish was supposed to come with. So I waited. Then I decided to go ahead and start eating my food because seven minutes went by and I still have no chicken. When the dish was originally served,, I asked the waitress for Parmesan cheese. She said we don't have Parmesan cheese, but we have black pepper. Huh???? of course you have Parmesan cheese. I have it on my Caesar salad. I really don't think she knew what Parmesan cheese was. I just shrugged my shoulders and took a bite of my food. Again, great concept. But the food had NO flavor. I added salt and pepper. Still nothing. I took the balsamic vinegar that was on the table and added it to the dish. There, I finally had flavor in my meal. But still no chicken. Finally, another waitress brings out a plate of squiggly worm like meat. She said, did somebody order chicken at this table? I was disgusted. First of all, it was not pleasant to see it look like that. Also, you should've offered to remake my meal, or at least take it back and mix it with the chicken. But to make me wait until my dishes is half gone and then bring over a plate of chicken is a poor decision. The chicken fettuccine had a good flavor. But the chicken was tough. Hard to chew. Not good flavor. I ordered a n/a Heineken. She brought it in a glass to the table. It was already poured so I don't know if I truly got what I ordered. Also the glass was too large for the amount of beer that was in it. Makes it look like it was half a drink. The waitress was kind, but we did not see much of her. She never offered to refill our bread basket. According to the menu, you get two baskets of bread and then if you want more you have to pay. We only got one basket of bread and never offered anymore. I was looking forward to some good pasta, and this restaurant did not deliver. Very disappointed in the service, and most definitely the food. The waitress took five dollars off of our meal, but she never explained why she did it or why she decided to take that amount of money. She never apologized for my dish, not having any protein, she never apologized for any thing. Management needs to teach staff that they can take ownership of the situation. It is OK to say you are sorry that the chicken was not put in your dish. Let's see what we can do to make it right. That would have gone so far. Instead, it left my attitude about this place as tough as the chicken in the fettuccine was.

We ordered pasta, but it was of very poor quality--it had an unpleasant smell and was not enjoyable to eat. We ended up leaving most of our food untouched. What was even more disappointing was that no one asked why we had barely eaten our meal or whether there was anything they could do to make it right. At the end of the meal, the server simply tossed our credit card onto the table, which felt disrespectful and unprofessional. Good service earns good tips, but with the combination of poor food quality and discourteous service, this was one of the worst dining experiences we've had. We hope the management takes customer feedback seriously and works on improving both the food quality and customer service.
