It's a beautiful deserted highway, with expansive views and almost no traffic. The only problem is that there are hardly any services for probably 200 miles. Cowboy Cafe in Montello is the perfect rest stop. They have burgers and beer and bathrooms! You can even call ahead, but why would you want to? There is a park next to the restaurant if you brought your own lunch. I highly recommend exploring this tiny town, the cemetery is unbelievable, a home with a guy who collected dozens of signs, and an art house with lots of mirrors and glass that's easy to find. There's also a small gas station next door. A lifesaver if you didn't plan ahead, but I hope nobody's that stupid! This is definitely a red state location, plenty of Trump signage inside when we were there. But they were nice to us libtards regardless of politics.

I opted for the Subway sandwich, and my husband ordered his meal from Burger King which shares the building with Subway. The set up is typical of Subway where you walk through a line at the counter, order on one end, and pay on the other end. The staff was efficient, but I had a hard time hearing them behind the counter as I walked through the line. They had some daily special sandwiches, and I opted to the sandwich of the day. It was a 6" Black Forest Ham, and I chose the wheat bread. I got my favorite toppings of tomatoes, spinach, and olives with honey mustard dressing. I did not get a drink or any of their add-on sides to go with it. I got a cup for water to wash things down as I ate. The sandwich tasted good and hit the spot. If I'm in the area, and looking for food, I will probably return here over the other alternatives.

Tonight I ordered the steak salad and couldn't figure out how I wanted the meat so I just said well done.

The items on inside were not as ordered. Full of yellow onion I did not order. Gravy was greasy and lukewarm.... Not safe. When the server finally came with check, I let her know the order was wrong and full of yellow onions. She replied I know, the ticket wasn't written correctly. I told her she shouldn't have served it then and I don't think I should be charged for it. She grabbed ticket irritated and said ok, then walked off. Sad, because I wanted to like this family owned quaint little breakfast place. Unfortunately, I went by all the good reviews and what a disappointment. Will not be coming back! Never saw the server after food delivered. until she brought check. Looks like locals like this place, but not for me.

I will say, our service was great and super friendly. Restaurant was clean and we got a table quickly. But the food omg. Not good. I got a taco salad and it was so dry?!?? I've never thought of a taco salad as being wet or dry but I couldn't explain it. It was hard to eat. I got sour cream, Guac and salsa with it but it was still so dry. Bizarre.... My husband got the French dip and also didn't like it. Said it also had no flavor and was over cooked. The fries were hard as a rock and came in a grease puddle. Must have been the last fries of the bunch before new ones were made but how did the kitchen feel comfortable sending them out they were horrid.... We also got the kids Mac, the kids meals do come with a lot of food so that was nice.

If you haven't had a good family style Basque dinner and should find yourself in Basque country…read more(Northern Nevada, Southern Idaho and Oregon), you need to add The Star onto your itinerary. A classic restaurant in the heart of Elko with roots going back longer than anyone can remember, they have perfected both family style dining, as well as the perfect steak. At a glance the price seems a little higher than you would expect from some place like Texas Roadhouse, until you realize that the entrees come with literally 7 courses. In the photo below, I had the "petite" ribeye which was huge, juicy and perfect cooked, and came with 5 sides. Not included in the multiple sides were the two previous servings of excellent cabbage soup and Basque salad. When dining at the Star, you'll never have to choose between quantity and quality - every entree comes packed with both. Great service, a nice location in the historic Elko downtown, and the infamous Picon Punch all make this a very worthwhile stop.

Though my father's favorite was Château basque, we would often go to Wool Growers. Definitely the most famous of all of the Basque family style restaurants. Star was very nostalgic and reminded me quite a bit of château basque. The place was packed. As you can see in the videos and pictures that was a line out the door. And definitely worth the wait. Pinchon Punch 2 x blue brain freeze Lamb chops medium rare Family style dinner for one (spaghetti, french fries, beans, cabbage soup, fresh baked bread, salad) Bread pudding Food and cocktails five star all the way. Lamb was cooked perfect. The cabbage soup and spaghetti were delicious. The salad dressing was unique and very enjoyable. French fries were fresh and perfect. We didn't really eat the beans, but homemade bread was fire. But our waitress Jenny was pretty nonexistent. We actually went to the bar and ordered some drinks because we didn't even know if we were going to have a waitress. Finally, when she came to the table, I told her that I pre-ordered some drinks from the bar. She walked away. About 10 minutes later, the bartender brought the cocktails. Jenny came back and asked us what we were ordering. I told her and then she walked away and we really didn't see her again until the Bill. The food and drinks were brought from a variety of people. When we needed some other stuff, I flagged down the waitress for the tables behind us and she happily got us what we needed (water, more fries, etc) I went to the bar and got another cocktail as we would've never gotten another one since we never saw Jenny. The bartender and the other server were quite friendly and helpful . We will happily come back here as the food was just perfect! And it was very nice to eat family style again since it's been quite a few years since I've been to Wool Growers. On a sidenote: Reno used to have a pretty decent Basque restaurant called Santa Fe. We went there quite often and they had the best oxtail stew and they also gave you a small bottle of wine with your dinner complementary... I really miss that place also)
