I can't believe I haven't written a review about this place! I used to come to Elko, Nevada for work once a month and would always eat here at least once. 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!
Honest dine in experience: well worth having to find a parking spot: 5/5 will be back the next time we're in the area! When I think hole in the wall, this place has all the vibes to give you some of the best indications that the food is going to be simply amazing... we were met by some warm greetings as we were taken to our table; it was nice and cozy and welcoming and we made it work as it was just 3 of us. We were even offered a larger table when it came available, but we made it work happily. Between my fiancée and I, we tried the blue cheese burger and the monthly breakfast special. I'll highlight some of the best touches of our meal down below: -Parmesan crusted potatoes: 5/5 I still remember this bite of potatoes a month later... grated Parmesan cheese over what feels like a poached potato that's fluffy on the inside and crusted on the outside with panko, simply just a well rounded bite to complement our meal. Croissant monthly special: 5/5 Decadent and just light and fluffy you're met with a sandwich that had the buttery flakes you'd expect from a croissant and the lightness from the greens. Add the savory fillings from the sauce and combining the egg and you're just met with a balanced bite that alone just gives you a savory experience. My fiancée had the blue cheese burger and I will say... that was one of the best burgers I think we've both had to this day from a local diner, on our 4000 mile trip, this was the best first stop we could have asked for. Definitely earned the 5 stars!
Traveling East and the Yelp reviews spoke well of McAdoo's. They were right. We had the buffalo burger, w/side salad and the grilled chicken sandwich with potatoes. Plus 2 fresh squeezed orange juices. Good size serving, fresh ingredients, could sense the care in preparing every plate that came out of the kitchen. And, super friendly staff. Great lunch and experience. Luv from Wisconsin
Really cute, small eatery. Clearly popular as it was very full and we had a 30 minute wait. Service was prompt and friendly. Quiche was just okay. A bit overcooked. Nice pancakes. But the star was that tri tip dip sandwich and salad. Good flavors. The salad had a lovely raspberry peppercorn vinaigrette. I'd love to stop by again if we're ever in the area to try other menu items. The two gender neutral restrooms were single stall and clean.
Had the French Dip, French onion soup, children's quesadilla, mixed green salad and everything was perfect. The French Dip bun was soft while the meat was tender and the au jus flavorful. I actually didn't try the quesadilla but the child ate piece after piece, foregoing the side of chips that came with it, which is evidence in and of itself that the quesadilla was delicious. Green salad was deliciously tangy and sprinkled with crushed sunflower seeds. The coffee also was aromatic and yummy. The restaurant itself is small, almost like a hole in the wall but cutely decorated, with fresh cut flowers adorning every table. For those of you passing through and wondering if Elko is a safe stop, it is. My party was all Chinese-American, and we felt welcome from the time we walked in until we left. The servers were efficient and friendly.
Great little place. Can definitely tell it's a mom and pop shop. Great friendly service that makes you feel like a regular. Its breakfast menu consists mostly of breakfast sandwiches but they do have pancakes, waffles, and French toast available.
We are driving across the country to relocate back from California to Pa and after a dispiriting night in Winnemuca, we did not have high expectations for finding a decent place to eat lunch. However, we had to stop for gas, and we found ourselves in Elko, which proved to be a lot more charming than we expected. McAdoo's exceeded all of our expectations - the service was warm and friendly and the food was simply outstanding. I had the BTLA on toasted multigrain bread with half salad and potatoes and everything was amazingly delicious - the bacon was cooked perfectly, the avocado was just ripe, and the sandwich was packed with greens. The potatoes had some sort of garlic crumb thing that was highly addictive and the salad was delicious. My husband had the grilled chicken sandwich and he said it was the best chicken sandwich of his life and then he got the strawberry cream cheese pie which was incredible. We are sorry that we are not likely to return to Elko but would HIGHLY encourage those driving through to stop here.
The Food was absolutely Amazing!!! The salad dressing was amazing. The service was great; home town feel, and homemade desserts! The ambiance was wonderful inside. We will Be back!!
This is an adorable little place off Main Street. Kylie was our server and she was just so bubbly and informative about the menu. There were three different variations of quiche available with interesting ingredients in all of them. Kylie explained to me that they used leftover items from different dishes to make their quiches, and it was just based on their imagination. I could eat a different quiche there every day and be a happy girl. The pancake were delicious, and I normally don't clean my plate but at this breakfast I did. I wish Elko wasn't such a long drive away or I would go more often.
Homemade pastries and good breakfast. On the pricier side for a small town, but they've got good quality food so you're getting your moneys worth. Not good for large groups. Great service, very kind people there.
High-quality breakfasts. Instead of the more typical "ham and eggs", McAdoo's serves things like a chorizo breakfast burrito, Canadian bacon, egg, and arugula on a roll, or an avocado, sausage, and egg muffin. Fresh squeezed orange juice. Can still get pancakes, French toast, etc...
This was our second time having our breakfast here in McAdoo's Elko. When my husband attend the mining expo every yerat, we always have our brunch here, because the food tasted homemade and the ingredients they used were quality. I ordered the blueberry pancake, just to check if the batter is a premix or from the scratch, and it did not disappoint: the pancake is fluffy and there's no store-bought-pre-mix-pancake after taste. I usually order it's artisan coffee, but this time I chose it's brewed, and it also tasted good. I tried my husband's quiche, and the crust is not thick and overpowering like the other quiche that I tried in other restaurants. Expect a full-packed morning, but it was worth waiting for your seats. The staff were efficient and can handle a busy brunch. The ambiance is inviting and comfortable. I don't find the diners noisy, even though it was full-packed when we came. I will recommend this restaurant when you visit Elko, Nevada!
Heading up to the Ruby Dome, and wanted to have a picnic. The hotel clerk recommended this place.. We were not disappointed. I called ahead and ordered two sandwiches to go. The person on the phone was very polite and asked me a few questions like what sides. The place was pretty full when I got there, however, I was able to get my food quickly and the weight staff were very jovial and friendly. What we ordered: tri-tip French dip (selected potatoes for side) a chicken ciabatta sandwich (salad with vinaigrette Everything was packaged nicely. The girl asked if I wanted ranch dressing for the potatoes and I thought why not. My wife really loved the chicken sandwich and the flavor of the tri-tip sandwich was really good however I think for $20 , it could've had some more beef in it. There was only one layer about 1 inch thick. But for quality and flavor, it was perfect. The potatoes that came with it or red potatoes that were quite tender and covered in some kind of crumbs. Not quite sure what they were, kinda like toasted Panko. The potatoes were not fried with this, it was just covering all the potatoes. At first, I was not thrilled about this, but as I started eating them... I became a fan! That's the only way I could describe the breadcrumbs/topping on the potatoes lol. We enjoyed our picnic up in the mountains, partially due to the great food we took with from here read more
The only possible complaint I can think about for McAdoo's is that I didn't know it was here when I lived in the area. I saw good reviews and decided to stop in for breakfast while on a work trip, and was surprised to find that every single thing about my visit was perfect. Location is convenient, just off Idaho Street in Elko, but parking was easy. Inside of the restaurant is clean and stylish, and very welcoming, as were all of the waitresses. Service was exceptionally fast and friendly, the coffee was fresh and hot. They technically don't have a traditional breakfast type plate on the menu, most of their items seem to be more like breakfast sandwiches or wraps, but the waitress was quick to let me know that they would be happy to make a normal breakfast plate. It's hard to pick a favorite part because both the breakfast potatoes and the raspberry jam we're probably the best I've ever had. I expected the jam to come out in the usual disposable plastic tub, but instead it came out and appeared to be homemade. If they sold it I would have bought some of that on the side to go. Potatoes had just the right amount of savory crunch on the outside, but were soft and creamy on the inside. When I lived in the area before I felt like there never were any great breakfast options in Elko, but I can definitely say that this place will not disappoint. I'll be back for sure! read more

On a roadtrip and stopped by McAdoo's for lunch. Great service, ambience, and delicious food. They were busy and we were a big group but we were seated immediately, and the service was prompt. Our family ordered the veggie wrap, roasted turkey sandwich, kids quesadilla, and tilapia tacos. Everything was delicious. The veggie wrap was amazing - the filling and the wrap - and the side salad - so much better than a regular house salad - in fact my five year old gobbled up with her quesadilla. Highly recommend stopping here if you are in Elko. read more

Stopped in to McAdoo's for brunch after my doctors appointment this morning. I had never visited before, so today seemed like a good time. Monday morning was slow, therefore there wasn't a wait to be seated and parking right up front was a breeze. I entered, and they allowed me to sit at their cute little bar where I got some good pics of their holiday decor and the front of the house. Seeing as how I arrived shortly after 10:30, I was given both breakfast and lunch menus which was nice because at that time I wasn't sure which I'd want. Now I have to admit, I believe it was over priced. Even a simple breakfast sandwich was over $18. That's a lot for a bagel with some bacon. So I wanted to make sure and order something I thought would be worth it. I've also been recommended their Quiche by locals, and at $13 it's not bad... but by 10:30 am on a Monday they were already out of Quiche. Le Sigh. So I ordered the Grilled chicken with marinated, house-roasted bell peppers, mozzarella, red onion, and chopped basil on toasted Garlic Ciabatta, with Side Salad and some Coffee. This sandwich was AMAZING. Juicy flavorful grilled chicken, yummy melt in your mouth bell peppers. The basil added an herbaceous element that was a nice contrast to the rich peppers and fresh mozzarella. The Garlic ciabatta was soft and delicious, not hard like some ciabattas can be. If I had one thing to say is I wish it had one more slice of the mozzarella so that it covered the entire top of the bread. Otherwise the sandwich was well worth it and the customer service was great. My waitress was super nice and made conversation with me. It was inviting and welcoming and the food was awesome! I can't wait to go back!! read more

This place was charming and the staff was very friendly. Ambiance is inviting and makes you want to return here. The food is yummy and exceeded my expectations for this kind of eatery. Stopped in to eat lunch while visiting. Really enjoyed the French onion soup (seemed better than most places) and the healthy menu options. They also have like ten different mimosas you can choose from which was very tempting. Overall, a charming little breakfast/lunch spot with delicious food options and friendly service. read more

Went here based on the reviews and we were NOT disappointed! Drinks: Lavender lemon Sade was a favorite of all with the prickly pear being the next favorite. Small and unassuming place, we probably would have never stopped if it wasn't for the other Yelpers. Grateful to them all. Excellent service, very attentive to our needs, but gave us the space to enjoy it all too. read more
Ok everyone! Strap on your seatbelt for this review. It's going to be long. I grew up in the Bay Area and also lived in Vegas for 20 years. I was an elite yelper for a few years. I have eaten everything from hood food to fine dining. I haven't done Michelin but that is happening in Chicago this summer with my favorite chef. Let me tell you this! I don't understand why this restaurant doesn't have a line around the corner right now. They stay busy but there should be a waiting list. Elko is lucky to have this place. I come here just to eat their food. I made sure to eat here at least 3 times before I did this review to make sure they weren't accidentally great.....LOL! They aren't great. They are AMAZING! Service: Every restaurant should model themselves after this place for everything. Their service is STELLAR! Friendly, fast, attentive and also no rush for you to go anywhere. They are the example of what service should be. There aren't enough stars that I could give this place. Food: I apologize for my French but all I can say is FUCK YOU McAdoos. You have made me a snob to food now. I compare everything to your food and so far nothing compares. Kiss all your chefs and give them gifts. They are rocking it. The food is fresh, tasty and different. I'm not a breakfast guy but even your breakfast food is better than most restaurants dinner food. Lunch is just amazing. I have not had a bad meal here ever. I don't have enough accolades for your food. I would give you an Oscar for food if I could. Even your drinks are on point. I would give you Michelin stars if I could. I want this review to reach everyone. This restaurant belongs in Napa, Sonoma, Calistoga and Yountville. Elko is lucky! Hold on to this restaurant because they are absolutely amazing. I don't have a favorite meal because every single item I have tried has been my favorite and all of it is just THE BEST!!! You Rock! read more
This is a solid 4 star. I had the veggie wrap with egg whites, potatos (that they are known for), and a small buttermilk pancake with real maple syrup. The wrap is made with roasted vegetables and has a very distinct flavor. The potatoes are pretty much to die for, and the pancake was excellent. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The waitress was super helpful and a pleasure to talk to. This will be on the top of my list of places to eat the next time I am in Elko. read more

The bison burger is great. The combination of salty and sweet bacon with the meaty patty with the perfect amount of salt and seasoning. The avocado balances out well. The Parmesan potatoes are delicious with the non spicy salsa on the side. The atmosphere and aesthetic is cute and clean with a modern small town vibe and the servers interact with you and are still pretty quick. I really wanted to give it 5 stars but something needs to be done about the amount of flies that come in when the door opens. Take aways: tasty food, nice vibe and clean establishment but needs to work on flies situation read more

The overall experience of this place was vice nice. The staff was very helpful and attentive. Always kept on top of water and food. The food was Devine. You know a place is good when it is packed. All of the food was flavorful and worth the experience. We god the croissant breakfast sandwhich a one with potatoes and the other with pancakes. (We have to have the whole experience) potatoes were amazing. The pancakes were light with a crunch. Really good. We also go the monthly special of Crepes. Highly recommend. We had a chili Mimosa and Ice Vanilla Chia. Both really amazing drinks. The ambiance was good. It was a nice establishment right in the Heart of Downtown Elko. Overall, a wonderful place in Elko. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking wanting a nice brunch experience. read more

When passing through Elko, one might be tempted to select the first restaurant they see right off interstate 80. But if you venture into the old central business district of Elko you will find this well kept secret. The restaurant is located in a turn of the century building, so it is narrow tight and crowded. But the food makes up for it. Everything here is made from scratch, you can't miss. I recommend the Chorizo Breakfast Burger, the chorizo patty was flavorful with just the right amount of heat. The egg was sunny side up, so the yolk evenly distributes itself within the burger. The brioche bun handles the mass together nicely. MaAdoo's also offers a wide selection of bakery goods that you will want to take home. And finally, the serving staff are so friendly and accommodating. This is a fantastic place to recharge when undergoing a long road trip. read more
