The food was actually quite good. The location above a casino was difficult to overcome, though -- as the faint smell of cigarette smoke is an overwhelming negative. read more

Great steak salad! Somewhat funny ambience/decor: short walls partition the restaurant from the casino. Eager, friendly, and endearing (if inexperienced) service. read more

This is a hidden gem that is worth checking out. Employees were very friendly and the atmosphere was homey. Hubby & I shared a ribeye (because it was fairly pricey!) and it was a good size and included 2 yummy sides (we chose a salad & brussel sprouts). The meat was a little chewy, but maybe because we ordered it rare - if we come again we will opt for medium rare! read more

Very good and priced right. Other steakhouses leave you wondering if was worth the expense; however JT's, in my opinion, "hits the bullseye:" great quality steak, sides, and drinks for a fair price. You won't leave feeling mugged. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Food was delicious and correctly proportioned. Ambiance reflects the owners' ranch lifestyle. Overall a good experience without the feeling of guilt that you spent too much! read more

We were there on a day the restaurant was closed, but the Pub was open with many of the same food selections. We were very pleasantly surprised by the service, quality of food and price. This will be our "go to" any time we are in Ely. read more

We had dinner here on May11th 2025 Reservations were not required as it was not super busy. We had the Ribeye Steak and the Sirloin Steak on a baked potato. Very small, quaint, western theme decor. Not a fan of their bread or butter. Butter tasted like margarine. The steaks however, were some of the best we've ever had. This was exceptional! I usually don't order sirloin but this was next level. The ribeye was the largest I've ever seen. Both cuts were excellent. We shared the Crème Brûlée which was good. Prices were rated $$$. We found it more than reasonable. We also ordered some of the products from their ranch. It was that good! We had breakfast here one morning. I'm not sold on breakfast here. Coffee was $5 ea.which was high. We ordered biscuits and gravy which was average at best. I ordered an English Muffin, that was under cooked twice. Breakfast menu was limited and $$$ in comparison to their dinner menu. Skip breakfast but dinner is next level. read more

We celebrated our 36th anniversary with a trip to Ely. Watched Outdoor Nevada several weeks ago and saw the episode with Perigo Ranch. We knew we had to try JT's. Small and cozy. The food and service were amazing. I am not normally a steak eater but I had to try the filet. My husband said it was better than my dad's. My dad was a chef in Las Vegas for 30 years. read more

We finally got to visit the upstairs restaurant. Wow great job with renovations! Very clean and upscale updates! Food was great and portions are large. Our waitress was attentive and other staff were friendly and helpful. read more

A relaxing end to a long day of driving. After quickly receiving our old fashioneds, we enjoyed a delicious steak dinner. Omg, it was so tender. Breakfast was equally good: veggie omelette had a great mix and I'll have to make those breakfast potatoes! The wait staff was attentive and the price was right. If we are swinging through this way again, this will be a stop! read more

we stayed at the Bristlecone Motel, across the street: a great place, esp for pets. At this restaurant, I ordered the 16 8z pork chop, my wife ordered a super hamburger with Swiss and mushrooms. The burger was excellent. The pork chop, however, was VERY salty, all the way through. The chef marinates it in brine, but he must have forgotten this one because it was very salty all the way through. I ate about 1/3 of it, mainly because it was an outstanding cut of meat, but had to set aside the rest. That's hard for me because I love a good chop. Their dinner salads were great. It can be very noisy here. My guess is that the rest of their menu is fine. read more

We stopped at JT's in Ely, Nevada on our road trip from Tahoe to Bryce & Zion. Decided to go the same way home to stop again. Great steaks, pork chops side selections & carrot cake. Great service & cocktails too. 2nd time did not disappoint. read more

The food was amazing! The service was good. They help each other out as we had different people filling water, delivering plates, taking away plates. We stayed in Ely for 3 days and came to eat here twice. Wish we had made it out to try breakfast, but that will be on our to-do list for next time. Brussels sprouts were so good! How do you make a vegetable taste that good? The ribeye was a 10/10. Same for the crème brûlée 10/10. You can taste the quality of the meat and quality of the ingredients in everything. read more

We had the ribeye steak to remember! Wow! Cooked to perfection and excellently seasoned... on the side is their creamy horseradish sauce. Baked potato is killer! Salad with blue cheese is the best. You can't go wrong! read more

Had the filet, Caesar salad and loaded mashed potatoes. Filet was done perfect and salad was great. The potatoes weren't real warm. Overall it was pretty good. read more

Best steak i've had. Reasonable prices and the service was great. This is a quality restaurant inside of a Hotel/Casino read more

JT's Steakhouse - Steak Sandwich with loaded mash potatoes and a tomahawk steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Ely, Nevada

The food may be great, we never got that far. The service was so poor that we left before being served the entree. We had to ask for our drinks (pretty simple, iced tea), when the salad was served the plates were literally thrown on the table in front of us (after waiting forty five minutes for this course), while the people who came in 20 minutes after us already had drinks and salad). Our young waitress delivered our salads and turned to speak with the people next to us without even inquiring if we needed anything further. We decided to leave at this point, choosing not to eat our salads (the salads were totally acceptable, the service being the issue) The maitre d was quite gracious and appeared to not be too surprised when we explained our reason for leaving. We were quite disappointed as we were looking forward to a pleasant and enjoyable dining experience. By the way, this took place on a Saturday night when one would expect the staff to be at peak performance. read more

Best place in Ely and far beyond! Local beef tastes fresh and delicious. Nice ambience in the steakhouse or the best burger downstairs in the pub (when the steakhouse is ful). The old fashions are amazing and a nice selection of NA beers. No surprise it is a popular spot, so make a reservation and don't miss out! read more

Steak was as good if not better than the one I had earlier this week in Vegas. Also the staff was great. Glad I dined at JT

Fabulous. The steak was amazing so were the scalloped potatoes. The prices seems like it was from the pre Covid pre inflation era.... So so happy. Don't miss out on this opportunity for an amazing meal. read more

Delicious food at a very reasonable price point, and the best place to eat we found in Ely. Since this is in a hotel with a casino, you may smell the smoke from the gaming floor. read more

The steak was fantastic! We got the ribeye and loaded mashed potatoes and Alfredo Mac. Make a reservation, but no need to dress up. read more

JT's Steakhouse - Ribeye - Steakhouses Near Me - Ely, Nevada

Friendly service, great tasting food, ribeye steaks were very tender & cooked to perfection.

There are only 2 steak houses in town and JT's is 1000% the best in all respects. Excellent food, customer service and cozy vibe. Make JT's the only place to go for delicious food and drinks in town read more

Excellent food and drinks! This place was a gem. We had the ribeye, filet mignon, brussel sprouts and scalloped potatoes. The smoky JT Old Fashioned was excellent too! Very pleasant servers and bartender . Chefs's kiss all the way around! read more

the biscuits and gravy ($10- nothing else) was salty. the cheese in the ham and cheese omelette ($14) was not melted. the breakfast potatoes were over cooked and had no seasonings at all. the entire menu is overpriced. $4 for hot tea. service was ok, 3 tables in the entire restaurant and the waitress seemed stressed. read more

I have to start out by saying we were skeptical. But... we were pleasantly surprised and absolutely delighted with our meals. My husband had the Ribeye and I had the New York. The steaks were full of flavor and tender. The scalloped potatoes were excellent. Kaylee was our server and she was so sweet and attentive. We would recommend JT's 100%! We think it's the best place to eat in town! It's not too loud in the restaurant and we like the minimal decor. Make a reservation, you won't be disappointed. read more

The staff have been super nice and multiple pictures on how it's farm to table and grass fed. The ambiance was amazing. I ordered a filet medium rare and it was perfect so juicy and tender. I also had a ceaser salad and it was so balanced with croutons ranch and lettuce. Then I ordered the desert trio and you have to try the carrot cake it was the best one I had in my life. read more

We went here on our 35th anniversary based on reviews I read. We were NOT disappointed. Makayla was our server. She was friendly and very helpful. My husband ordered the steak sandwich and I ordered a hamburger. We both ordered them medium rare. They were cooked to perfection. I had read rave reviews on the brussel sprouts. They were the best I have ever had. I asked it they would be willing to share the recipe and they did. We had to take half our food home as we were so full. Thank you JT's. If we are ever in Ely again, we plan to return. And thank you Makayla for making our experience so pleasant. read more

we came all the way from Florida to go to the great Basin National Park needed a place for the night and asked where we should eat they said JT Steakhouse, so we went omg best Filet Mignon i ever had and i have eaten at Smith And Wilinski , Hells Kithen etc. If you are ever near here please dont miss the place read more

One of the best steaks I ever had, along with fresh bread, salad, and a well prepared baked potato. My server was Macayla and she was outstanding. read more

We chose Ely NV for a getaway weekend specifically because of this restaurant. It had been profiled on Outdoor Nevada. We were attracted by it being portrayed as "Farm to Table". We eventually found it - tucked away on the second floor of a casino. Some additional signage would be helpful. The clerk on the first floor was clueless as to the whereabouts of the restaurant. She didn't seem to understand that there was indeed a "hidden" restaurant in the building where she is employed. Minor annoyance, but not a crisis. Dinner was 5 star! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They did everything to make our evening enjoyable. The Maître d' (Ron?) is a wonderful "first face" for a restaurant. Friendly. Polite. Polished, yet relaxed. Our server was perfect. She made suggestions and answered menu questions with a thorough understanding of the menu. The gentleman (not sure of his role) that prepared our perfectly extra dry martinis made a point of coming back out of the kitchen to check on our cocktails. Dinner . Wine list is limited - but adequate. Meal prep was flawless. Perfectly prepared sides of salads, Mac&Alfredo, and charred Brussel sprouts were delicious. Now to the shiny stars of our meals - the steaks! We both ordered filet. OMG is not good enough to describe! Tender, melt in your mouth texture. Lightly charred out - lovely pink inside. Just right seasoning. The compound butter melting into the hot steaks as they arrived tableside was a nice hit of flavor. I personally am not big on steaks. Whereas my husband is a devoted carnivore. I LOVED MY STEAK. I devoured every last meaty morsel. We live in Henderson NV - just outside of Vegas. About 4.5 hours drive time door to door. This restaurant is totally worth it! From the entire staff to the total perfection of dinner. A very enjoyable meal and evening indeed. read more

Best meal I've had in a long time and hands down in the top five best steaks I've ever had. The service was top notch, the rolls were warm and soft, the salad and other sides were delicious. All four in our party were so thrilled we found this place for our dinner after a long day of driving. Makayla was a fantastic server. Thanks! read more
