Several years later I found myself back here for work and told my co-workers we have to eat here. Inside is a quaint little cafe that has been around for years. On the day we were here the place was very busy because of the Cowboy poetry annual event was in town. Either way service was awesome and so was the food. I got the daily quiche with ham and veggies with a side salad. This was delicious! I would highly recommend this spot to anyone passing through or visiting. They have a great breakfast and lunch menu and you won't go away hungry!

I heard the food was pretty good here and a decent deal. I go in with one co worker whose driving me around Elko. It's not really too smokey in here, so that's a good thing, but it's not a crowded Saturday night either with all kinds of drinking and smoking at the slots going on. We get seated at a nice table and I go over the menu. They have a prime rib special here for $17.99 and it's available everyday from 11 am! Most of these casino restaurants that have prime rib, only have that on Fri and Sat after like 4 pm. I passed this time, but what I did see was the Chicken Fried Steak! It's supposed to be a 10 oz. beef patty, breaded and deep fried served with country gravy, hashbrowns and toast, and then even THREE eggs, for just $13, that's a deal. In the Bay Area where I was just working, they don't even serve Chicken Fried Steak ..... it's like truck driver food I guess. My friend had this Cali Omelet ... yeah it was sort of breakfast time for us. That was the more healthy option with veggies and no meat, just the opposite of what I ordered! The food came out in short time and look fab! I ordered my Chicken Fried Steak on a separate plat with gravy on the side, so I didn't get gravy all mushed up with my eggs and potatoes. Holy moly, that was a lot of food! Super tasty, I just ate half and took the rest to go, gave it to my friend since I flying back out soon and I don't think the airline would appreciate me bring Chicken fried steak on the plane to eat! The omelet looked better than I thought it was gonna for the price. Tons of avocado on top and fluffy hashbrowns! 5 stars for the food here!

Once seated, our experience was a mix of highs and "almosts." - Appetizer: We started with the fried pickles -- crisp, flavorful, and addictive -- though a seasoned dipping sauce would have taken them to the next level. - Entrées: Antonio ordered the prime rib, advertised at 12 oz, but it appeared a bit smaller than expected. 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.

With a dinner order, you'll get sourdough bread and very tasty vegetable soup. Then a salad with garlic dressing, then green beans, rice, a potato dish (more to come on that), spaghetti (for real, but it wasn't that good) plus whatever you ordered. We ordered 2 basque style pork chops plus some crab stuffed mushrooms. The pork chops were so good, flavorful breading and juicy meat. The mushrooms were good too. The highlight for me though was the Ana potato. The sauce was delicious and the potato was cooked perfectly. Our server was great.

Or any time you need late night food! The times I've been there, it was after a night of a little gambling and drinks at Maverick across the street! The few times I've been there, when you go late at night, the service is great! The waitresses are always fast, friendly and on top of things. I've tried the Chicken Marsala, the little side salad with ranch and the French toast with fresh berries! The pasta was actually really good, and I liked the garlic bread that came with it. The salad is your perfect diner salad with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, cheddar and croutons with ranch. The French toast was fluffy and delicious drenched in maple syrup and rich butter. I mean can you go wrong with that at 2am? Nay. Either way, JR's is a great place for late night food!
