    I love the vibe here. For a Denny's this was absolutely amazing! I was here just passing through and I had the pleasure of meeting what I felt was the best waitress in Nevada. Mary was my waitress and I honestly didn't even know what I wanted to eat. She suggested this omelette and let me just say that if you're reading this and you're not on your way to Ely, NV to get this omelette you're missing out! Mary was amazing and very attentive to me. I appreciate her vibe and the fact she was dealing with my indecisiveness in a professional way. Next time I'm in Ely, NV I'm definitely stopping to see Mary and getting my now favorite omelette!

    This used to be the coffee shop of the Hotel Nevada but it has been leased to Denny's. One of the perks of staying at the Hotel Nevada is that you get a voucher for a free breakfast at Denny's. I sat at the counter and handed the slip to a server. She asked me how I wanted my eggs and did I want bacon or sausage. She entered the order on the terminal and brought me my coffee. In a short time, I was brought the breakfast of two pancakes, two sausages, and two eggs over easy. I was expecting I'd order my breakfast but this is the way they do it for the free breakfast. The eggs were OK, the pancakes are generally something I don't order, and the sausage links were overcooked from their frozen state. My coffee was refilled and this gave me a start to what would be a long day. The second morning, I didn't get the free coupon but ordered from the menu. I got a ham and cheese omelette with hash browns and rye toast. The breakfast was passable. There was an odd mixture of cheese with one slice of American and a lot of Swiss that was like eating cheese off the top of onion soup. One night I stopped in for dessert and ordered a sundae. The woman really didn't know how to make it and ended up giving me too much ice cream (not a bad thing) but there was no room to put the Oreo crumbles that were supposed to go on top. I ate some of the ice cream and then added the Oreo pieces as I went along. Given that there are so few places in Ely, this may be as good as it gets.

But, I'm not writing a review of a DMV, I'm writing a review of my lunch at Smash. Those DMV ladies wanted to know where we ate and they agreed, these are the best burgers for a 1000 miles around. I had the mushroom swiss, my son had the regular smash. Deceptively HUGE sandwiches on buttered buns, cooked just right, and seasoned! Fries were tasty. We got there a bit earlier than lunch and didn't question it being empty on a Wednesday, but then we watched the place fill up. People were talking until food arrived and then it was just quiet. That tells you a lot. Can't talk while you're eating. Then I had them pack up all three dessert choices in the display because we could not decide. Chocolate cake, Nutella cheesecake and lemon cheesecake. We drove the two hours home and then sampled...I got one bite of the Nutella and then my son stole it! The husband snarfed the chocolate cake and I hid the lemon from both of them. Waitstaff friendly, workin' hard. Happy to tip.

The prices were to be expected for burgers, wings, salads, and other similarly styled foods. They had a good beer selection that (I believe) was all brewed in house. Don't quote me on that.

Gotta give major props to Krissie the bartender who I recently met there. She is hands down the "the Total Package" and a real life "Unicorn" (see Crazy Hot Matrix). Not only a great bartender but smart, friendly, sweet, has a great attitude & personality, and works very hard to see that you have the best time ever. Oh, and by the way, she's also "drop dead" gorgeous! Definitely my favorite club in Ely, NV (pronounced: EELEE) and home of the famous "Silver State Classic Challenge" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/. Where they actually close down a 90 mile (140km) stretch of State Route 318 for a authorized time-trial "Cannonball Run " - style race that attracts racers from all over the world!

Make sure to say "Hi" to Krissie!

Four of my friends and I went to dinner here last Friday night and while we were waiting to be served they were complaining about the last time they had been in and how long it took to get there food.

The food was average and took a while to get. This being said it is Eureka NV with not many choices for places to work or eat so if you decide to stop in you will have to just grin and bare it.

There wasn't much of a choice. Service was ok, I think the poor boy was overworked managing the whole dining room himself and rude demanding customers screaming at him. Interior was nothing special, felt a little dirty. Had to ask for condiments. My hubbys cheeseburger was good but my chicken Philly cheesesteak had gigantic chicken slices so I can't pick it up and bite into it without the chicken falling out. I'm used to small, shredded pieces of chicken in a cheesesteak! Lemonade tastes like cough syrup. Afterwards, I had the worst stomachache the whole way home back to California. I know it's the desert but I would skip. PS: what is up with all the broken and chipped plates??? This shows this place truly does not care about the perception and the dining experience. Check out my broken chipped plate. My hubbys plate was worst with multiple chipped spots, can't see too well but check out his cheeseburger picture, you can see a chip on his plate.

An older gentleman had been standing at the counter for about 20 minutes and hadn't been acknowledged at all. Staff were focused on the drive-thru and not paying attention to customers inside. When I asked if we could order at the counter, the manager came over with noticeable attitude. The gentleman ordered first, and I appreciated being able to help him get some service. Not everyone is comfortable using the kiosks, especially across different generations--and in this case, he only had cash. That should never mean being ignored. Once I got my sauce, I went back to wait for my order. The manager later came outside with a sheepish smile, which honestly felt like she knew the situation hadn't been handled well.

I was ordering for our family but after the first couple items, the screen with our order disappeared. The man taking our order said it was too complicated to put it on the screen - ok! Technology is hard sometimes. We pulled up and before paying, I asked if the girl at the window could read our order to me (since I couldn't see it on the screen & just wanted to make sure our order was correct.) Reader, she dramatically rolled her eyes, slammed the window, and walked away. So I'm thinking, kids these days are wild and some of them may lack some interpersonal skills but at least this one has a job, ya know? A few minutes later, a cute tiny man comes us to the window with the MOST sour attitude. (I was rooting for you, y2k macaroni frosted tips!) They/he says "I heard you need help? WITH WHAT." The eyebrow. The snap. The body language. It was so, immediately clear that this McDonald's was not a safe space for me and my family. So I chose peace. And by that, I mean we went to Carls Jr. Thoughts and prayers to the owner/operator of this location.
