Great place and the owner, Christina, is very nice. Very good food! It takes awhile - it is not "fast food", it's real food and she cares about serving fresh, quality meals. Kind of hard to know if it's open or not, but we're glad we stopped and checked. read more

Suuuuuper small ghost town diner. Open for breakfast and maybe lunch if the owner operator is in the mood. We walked in at 1:30 and almost got shooooed out but luckily we got one of the 8 empty tables inside. Goldfield was a hard rock mining town and so are its residents with a seam of friendliness mixed in. As is often the case in itty bitty off the grid places much of the menu wasn't available. Breakfast was already put away and lunch was mostly being served except for chicken or other out of stock items. Finally found a combination of items available and cobbled together an order. So let's see how it turns out. The waitress, cook and we suspect the owner/operator is a fun gritty gal. Went with a chili cheeseburger and side salad and turkey bacon wrap. Both came out quickly and were good. If you're from small town 'Merica you'll remember your small town diner in here. We will stop by again. read more

Nasty! Service was good when we were the only.ones in there then the 2 dingdong that work there couldn't handle the "rush" of 5 tables NEVER AGAIN read more

Perfect stop on our roadtrip and their food was so good! They have a bunch of games you can bring to your table, so we played a card game while waiting and they had a treasure chest of toys for the kids to pick out as we were leaving. Definitely good vibes out in the middle of the desert. read more

I had both dinner and breakfast at this place while passing through, and was amazed how good it was. Most of the food is simple, but it's prepared perfectly. The family running the place was so friendly they made us feel like we'd made new friends there, For dinner we had the chili and a jalapeno burger. The chili was great - closer to the kind of chili you'd find at a chili cook-off than a restaurant. The burger was tasty, and the flavors were well balanced. The breakfast was even better. After tasting the chili for dinner, I got a chili and cheese omelet, and my GF got the chicken fried steak. Both were very large portions, but they were so good we cleaned our plates. Also the hash browns were absolutely amazing. This is now going to be a stop we make every time we pass through here. Honestly if this place were in Vegas I'd be eating there every day. read more

This establishment was a godsend considering this town only has one other place that offers food (which is excellent) , and that's in the evening. The Dinky Diner offers breakfast and lunch. My BF and I had breakfast. I ordered a basic breakfast with eggs, bacon and toast and potatoes. The eggs were cooked perfectly and everything tasted delicious. The service was very good and the price was right. read more

We were passing through town and it was really friggen' cold, so we opted to grab some food in between exploring. I ordered the club, while my friend got one of the last two veggie burgers. The food was good ol' diner comfort food, and the service was very pleasant. - with some tips of places to check out while in town. Only thing I'll say is that they were likely understaffed and they were cooking one table order at a time, which meant we waited about 30-35 minutes for ours. So my advice is to just not be in a rush in this sleepy ol' town. read more

Food delicious, staff were friendly. It was a Saturday morning so it was busy but there were a few open tables so we sat and we were told it would be a wait to get served but we had time so that was fine. We got drinks right away. Would rather give our money to these folks vs a fast food place. My spouse had the full breakfast. I tried his hash browns and it was so tasty! I had 2 pancakes. They were very fluffy so I could have just ordered 1. The bathroom was clean and well stocked. read more

Goldfield put me in mind of The Twilight Zone in oh so many ways. That's not to say I didn't fall in love with the town, I did! The Dinky Diner made me think of the Twilight Zone episode where Barney Phillips is a cook (alien) and has a third eye lurking under his toque. No one in the DD had a third eye, or at least not one in the same location as Barney did back in '61. I did see a guy who looked like Jack Elam. Wait. No. Three guys who looked like Jack. (I can see the contrails, Art!) Okay, enough messing around. The Dinky Diner is top notch. All four of us would agree without qualification. Best road breakfast I've had in a long time ... the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. No masks anywhere in sight, just quality chars! read more

If I could give this place negative stars, I would. My wife and 3 year old daughter were passing thru earlier this week on the way to Vegas, and decided to stop in for breakfast at this local joint. Before my daughter could even walk around the place and look at the decor, the cook in back (presumably the owner) screamed at my wife to keep my daughter from "touching [her] shit," and essentially told my wife to keep my daughter (who is a naturally curious 3 year old with special needs) confined to her chair. A few times when my daughter would look at and play with the child sized Pac-Man arcade game, the cook would angrily cut the game off. The server was a sweetheart and was trying to go above and beyond to salvage my wife's and daughter's experience, but it didn't change the fact that this cook/owner was being an absolute horse's ass. And on top of that, the food was horrible. I got to hear about this through my wife's tears afterward. It's such a shame, because our experiences in other establishments in Goldfield throughout the years have been so overwhelmingly positive. We will visit those other establishments. But we won't spend another dime in the Dinky Diner. read more

I'm surprised that I haven't reviewed The Dinky Diner before. We have been going here for years. The food is always really tasty and the service always great. I especially love their burgers and fries. The other day I picked the Patty Melt and it was perfect on some wonderful Marble Rye. The Fries are always on point, too. I also recommend the Chili Burgers and Mushroom Swiss. It's a no frills place with good hometown cooking and definitely worth the stop. read more

Every time I come into town Dinkys is a must for me. Small moms and pops diner. The restaurant is small but cozy and the service is ok. However I haven't been disappointed in the food as far but today I wasn't warned that there is raw onions in the house salad and I'm highly allergic to them so that wasn't good at all. Wish it did mention that on the menu but other than that food was goodWhen they have their BBQs, it's so delicious, maybe not fall off the bone, but still very good flavor. Love small restaurants like this. Prices are still AMAZING and at least they are not price gouging the public. Kudos to the owner for keeping it homely and affordable. read more

Yes, it's dinky alright but the food and service is huge in stature! Was in Goldfield on a saturday, May 2nd exploring the cemetery, hotel, and the International Car Forest of the Last Church with a friend and her kids. As the late afternoon came around we were all very hungry. A search on Yelp brought us here. Good thing we showed up when we did right at 3:30. The lady at the pick up window(due to the corona virus issue) told us that she closes at 4 pm. At first, after looking over the menu, the kids wanted pizza. The lady said no can do. They had no more fresh dough to make it since it was close to closing time. So all all the kids ended up getting were cheeseburgers which comes with fries. I ended up getting the Whiskey Burger($15). This burger comes with a nice half pound Beef Patty, Mushrooms, Grilled Onions, Bacon, Swiss Cheese, and House made Whiskey Barbeque Sauce. The bun itself had different kinds of sesame seeds on which was really good. At first before the burger was served I was thinking to myself, "Man, this better be a really good burger for 15 bucks!" But as soon as I opened the box I was definitely blown away by the size of it. You have the option of adding mustard or ketchup to it which she gives you separately. After picking up the bun to see what was inside I was blown away at the huge strips of bacon that was on there. I think I counted like 4 strips. The mushrooms and onions were sauteed perfectly. Omg my mouth is watering right now as I finished typing the last sentence. All the burgers come with fries which were decent. Service was very good. Although it took awhile for the food to cook, it was well worth the wait. The lady brought it out to us in to go containers. In the end we were all more than satisfied with our late lunch. Make sure to ask for a kids menu for it is not posted up on the wall. Ever since that day I cant seem to stop thinking about that Whiskey Burger. If we are ever in the area in the future, I am definitely getting that burger again. Yelp 2020 Review #38 "Get the Whiskey Burger. TRUST ME" 834 overall read more

Excellent little diner, worth a visit while visiting the local car forest. Its name accurately describes it as dinky. We were able to order quickly, the food was delivered in a timely manner, hot and delicious. The food was definitely fresh and quality. The BLT had thick bacon. The fries were hot out of the fryer. Service was ok, nothing over the top. Definitely worth visiting for a quality meal while in the area. read more

This little diner in the town of Goldfield doesn't seem like much but the food was really good. We arrived kind of late not knowing that it closed earlier than usual so got some last minute service but it wasn't too bad. They do have a kids menu so my 3 children all got the burgers. They give them to you with just the meat, cheese and bun and kids have the option of adding mustard and ketchup themselves. It came with fries as well. I ordered the bacon cheese burger and it was very good. Tasted like a home cooked burger with quality ground beef. It came with meat, cheese, bacon (not the flimsy kind but the home cooked kind), lettuce and tomatoes. It came with a side of fries. The fries were a bit greasy for my liking and had a softer texture not real crunchy. The service was a bit rushed because we did come late but the people seemed sweet. They do currently have a single table outside where you can eat. read more

Great breakfast and lunch place. It was a little quiet when we walked in. Waitress was young yet was doing her best and really appreciated her willingness to work and help. Cook was amazing, we ordered a 3 sides for the kids since they were picky and cook divided the order in 2 and plated everything for the kids. We got the breakfast burrito and it was light and great. Would go back for sure. read more

Dinky Diner - Had the Bacon Cheeseburger, with house salad. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Goldfield, Nevada

The Dinky Diner has small town charm, as well as tasty food going for them. However, they have easily the worst coffee I have ever tasted in my life. My cup of Joe looked very watered down, and it pretty much tasted like someone added a small hint of coffee flavor to another wise big cup of hot water. Sadly, the iced tea suffered from the same treatment: thinly flavored water. My food, however, was great. The sausage omelet was well made, and stuffed with a lot of meat. It was a decent size, not too big or small. My whole wheat toast came pre-buttered, which was nice, and the cottage fries (breakfast potatoes) tasted good as well. Each table has a few paperback books of jokes, and reading them was a fun way to pass the time. The wait time was a little ridiculous, especially considering the place was near empty. I'm not sure if I would stop by and dine at The Dinky Diner again, but I will say that I'm glad I was able to try them out. read more
