We love staying at the Mizpah hotel so it saddens me to have to leave a bad review of their restaurants. First the coffee is serve yourself, pipping hot (which is good) but no cup sleeves for the paper cups, ouch! The food was mediocre and cold by the time it arrived served on plastic disposable plates and plastic forks. Not what I expect in this beautiful hotel setting, the ambiance is the only reason there is two stars. The service was awful! The hostess's appearance and attitude were messy and off putting. After we finished busing our own plates it took 15 minutes for her to come from the back so we could pay our bill. Needless to say, we picked somewhere else to eat the next morning. read more

What a freaking mess!!! Don't know about the food because 45 minutes later we still haven't gotten any. There are literally only 3 tables here and they have completely ignored us. Finally grabbed the waitress since all other tables (2) had gotten their food. Ours was forgotten. Well that explains no food but why are we completely ignored by the waitress in addition? What a folly this breakfast has been and what an embarrassment to the Mizpah!!! Update since we finally ate (still not giving more stars though) the food was good and your chef is to be commended. The star is for him read more

The service was great and the food was not to bad. The price is a bit high for the place. Had the 3 cheese omelette and it had lots of cheese. The wife had the oatmeal. She said it was very thick. If you are staying at the hotel it is quick and easy. read more

Great breakfast for a very fair price; preparation was spot on. My wife especially liked her biscuits and sausage gravy. Very meaty and she thoroughly enjoyed it! read more

Good. But no GF food. Not that hard to make GF food. In my opinion, best in Tonopah, NV.

This place is a scam and these photos are a lie! your meal is served in a plastic container with plastic utensil's. Way overpriced! coffee was awful and meal description not accurate! read more

Had both dinner and breakfast here. For dinner I had the chicken fried chicken. It was super good. I ate the whole thing! Was pretty full, but saw they had Boston Cream Pie for dessert, so I had to have it to go. For breakfast I had biscuits and gravy. Very filling and good. Both times service was excellent Thank you. read more

I'm giving 2 stars only because our server was excellent. I can't say the same for the food. We'll start with the chicken fried chicken. Just by looking at the plate you could tell it was torched...that bird took a bath in the deep fryer way too long and was dry as expected. Gravy to the rescue, right? If you like taste-free canned gravy then you're in luck! The gravy had zero taste, no salt, no pepper...it was just there. Then there was the mashed potatoes, can't go wrong there. One would think, but the potatoes were either mixed too long or put through the food processor because the consistency was gluey, not fluffy. The veggies were the best part of the dish. Thankfully there is an A&W next door and their chicken was quite delightful. Let's move on to the Bello Burger. Portobello mushroom with balsamic vinegar topped with caramelized onions, feta, lettuce, tomato, on a brioche. The mushroom was so heavily marinated with the balsamic that it resulted in the mushroom being way too sweet. Top it with onions that were not only not caramelized but sweet, it made the sandwich inedible. If there was the tangy feta cheese on it like the description said, there may have been a slight relief from the sweetness, but no feta to be found. The fries (frozen not fresh) was the best part of that dish. The restaurant seating was uncomfortable and the booths were showing their age. My booth seat was leaning forward so I was leaning into the table the whole time; perfect if you just want to shovel food into your mouth. The food was slow to come out of the kitchen for the size of the restaurant but I'll give them a pass card on that with the lack of being able to hire people these days. I was going to try their "fine dining" restaurant but out of fear that they share the same kitchen, I had to pass. Overall, an extremely disappointing experience. read more

I had a nice breakfast here with some friends. They had biscuits and gravy, which they enjoyed. The serving was huge. I got the Pittman Breakfast. Two eggs over medium, hash browns and bacon. The eggs and hash browns were cooked perfectly to order. The bacon was a little more done than I had asked for. The service was good. It took some effort to get the check so we could pay and leave. I would recommend this places for breakfast. A friend got the breakfast burrito and it was massive!! You might try that if you're hungry. read more

If they would let us do a negative star , I would do a negative 5. We were one of the first customers for the breakfast, which is in the Mizpah Hotel across the street. It is called the Pittman Cafe. They told us when we came in that it may take a couple of minutes if we wanted pancakes. No big deal. We waited. 15 minutes later, she asked if it would be ok to substitute a biscuit or toast. Again, no problem. So basically, we were just waiting on bacon and eggs. By now the restaurant had begun to fill up. We are now into this for 35 to 40 minutes. Everyone else's breakfast was coming out no problems. Bacon, eggs, same as what we ordered. Why they couldn't serve ours, as we had been waiting for now close to an hour, I have no clue. We finally got up to leave and the waitress asked us for our $35 dollar meal voucher. I asked why? Since we never were served. She had no answer other than we had 1 coffee and 1 orange juice. So basically, the hotel was responsible for not crediting any of our breakfast voucher. And we moved down the road to a much better restaurant. STAY AWAY FROM THE PITTMAN read more

We stopped in for dinner. It was about 8:30 PM, so we sat at the bar as restaurant seating was closed. I tried a local beer on tap & it was pretty good. I ordered the chicken fried steak with a side salad & my wife got the wedge salad. The salad lacked the balsamic sauce commonly on wedge salads, but she said it was okay other than that but not a true Wedge. Mine was, hands down, amazing! Although my salad never came. But Jennifer, the bar tender, was as busy as a one-legged guy in a butt kicking contest as it was Friday night. The atmosphere was great! Saw the famous red dress girl Room 504 & the basement gost tour before we left. Would recommend! read more

The food and prices were fine. I'd be more generous with my review, but the dining area had the feel of a cafeteria rather than a romantic restaurant. There were booths, where there should've been tables. The service was excellent, and Tonopah in general is a fascinating place to be simply because it is so different. read more

Theres a lot to choose from their menu. The place is very simple, not updated, has enough space but sometimes it gets too crowded and service is getting slower. read more

I really like the crepes & cornbeef hash. Staff is friendly & the place is nice & clean. Enjoy eating here.

Ate here for dinner and had steak. It was pretty good. Better than good but less than great. Our server was great. Very friendly and chatted a bit about the Mizpah Hotel. I'd go again if I make my way to Tonopah! read more

This place is in a beautiful hotel and my daughter wanted to come here because she'd heard ghost stories about the place. It's one of VERY few restaurants in Tonopah and the only one you could really consider "fine dining" I suppose, so that's how it gets away with what it does. We were seated right away despite not having a reservation since it was a weeknight and sort of early. Our waitress told me there were no more baked potatoes, but that the Mac and cheese was amazing and delicious. I ordered a 6 oz filet, medium rare, and a side of the Mac and cheese, and my daughter got chicken tenders and fries. I also asked for a Coke. There were only two wait staff on the floor. After our waitress brought my Coke and took our order we didn't see her again for over 30 minutes. I tried to flag her down a few times but it was like she didn't even look toward our table. The woman sitting alone at the next table even commented on it. No one ever brought us bread or anything, no one refilled our water or my Coke, no one checked on us. Other tables were sending their food back or complaining as well so there was obviously something going on in the kitchen. The people next to me got loaded baked potatoes by the way, so I guess they weren't actually out. When our food finally came out after 45 min, I couldn't believe it. My filet was well done with almost no pink in it at all, and so dry and tough it was like eating a hamburger. It was on a plate with one limp piece of browning asparagus on top. The Mac and cheese was so obviously dry and overcooked, it didn't even have a cheese sauce or anything. Just a bowl of dry spiral pasta colored yellow. I took one bite and pushed it away - flavorless and dry as heck. My daughter's chicken tenders were OBVIOUSLY frozen like Tyson or something, and they were pale yellow, no crisp to them or anything. I guess I thought at a nice place like this they'd be homemade or at least well-cooked? Either way, after waiting so long for our food we were starving and I knew that if I sent it back we'd there for another hour, so we ate the chicken and steak but didn't touch the fries or Mac and cheese. The waitress didn't even argue when she came back and I pointed out the issue with our food, she just comped the steak and Mac and cheese. So while I appreciate her trying to make it right, it was wild getting such bad food AND inattentive service in such a nice setting. This place could be a gem if someone who cared worked here. The two waitstaff also seemed flustered and easily shaken - the lady next to me asked if they could add the grilled shrimp to a pasta dish and the waiter freaked out trying to figure out how before apologizing and saying that they couldn't, and when she asked about several menu items he advised her not to get them. Same with me - I asked about a few things and the waitress said she'd had multiple people complain about those items recently and send them back. While I appreciate the honesty... yikes! Get better cooks in the kitchen! read more

Love this place! Had the Hotel Mizpah on our "Ghost Adventures" road trip, and noticed the cafe inside. Us gals gave it a try, and I'm glad we did! The lady working there was super nice and genuinely happy. Their menu had a nice selection to choose from, and from what we ordered, all 3 of us were extremely smitten with what we chose. The food was hot, tasted like home cooking, and she kept our refills full. Unfort, when we sat down, they were closing in 1/2 hour, so we kinda ate fast, but was still a good experience none the less. Next time we are in Tonopah, we will definitely come here again!!! read more

Food was above average - good actually. The reason I dont go 4 or even 5 stars is because we went 3 times and all 3 times we were left standing at the reception podium for a very long time. Really understaffed. If you come in, make a lot of noise or tell for someone. It is a little awkward, but otherwise you can waste a lot of time waiting. We had breakfast and dinner here. The food was really very good so it is worth the trouble in this small town. The hotel is AWESOME and worth seeing the inside, even if you dont stay. read more

The Pittman Cafe is in the Mizpah Hotel. Serves breakfast through dinner. They offer Cline and Jacuzzi wine, as a side note. Our pancakes were slightly over cooked and water was late to the table. There was no fruit alternative on breakfast and the $6 for 3 slices of bacon seemed excessive to me and wasn't distinguishable from the Applewood Bacon advertised. Finally no blueberry syrup, I supposed out of stock. These are the primary reasons for the 3 stars. I might try somewhere else in town next time. read more

A prime example of the ideal place to grab food during a road trip. It's right off the main highway with ample parking. I got the western burger which was made with grass fed ground beef, a super crispy sourdough bun and very well cooked fries. The fries got stolen quickly by everyone at the table as they were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. There is a wonderful history to the restaurant and the Mizpah hotel which is the main attraction here. Why come here? Quality food, great service, reasonable prices and it's all convenient to the traveller who values good food and history. read more

Loved it! Stopped on our way from Vegas to Tahoe. Had some breakfast. All the staff are super sweet. The chef even came out to check on us to make sure everything was done to our liking! It was very quiet and relaxing . Thank you all so much for making our long drive a little bit better! read more

I've eaten here several times in the 4 weeks I've been in town working, and I can honestly say I have not had a bad meal myself. Have done the breakfast twice, and both times both meals were made very well. They have what I'd call your typical breakfast menu, but should be plenty of choices for most. Don't forget to check the daily breakfast special. Dinner menu offers some good appetizers, some great burger choices, and a variety of entrees. The Mizpah burger is a hit with me. Like breakfast, there is generally a daily special as well. The west wall when you walk in will also list what's in store for dessert should you happen to have a need for something sweet. For nostalgia, I'm just old enough to remember the Woolworth's or Ben Franklin cafe counters, and the Pitman has one just inside the restaurant, of which I've sat at for "old times" sake. read more

Stopped by on our wayy down from Reno back to Vegas. It wasn't the most welcoming feeling when you first enter. Wasn't to sure of the place from its ratings but we wanted to give it a chance. The food did not disappoint. We ordered mild wings, classic burger with pepper jack cheese and fried zucchini. Five stars all around. Karen* not sure on the spelling , was very helpful and provided excellent service. $8 - wings $9 - zucchini $14 - burger read more

We recently spent an evening at the Mizpah and ate here for breakfast. There weren't many people in the restaurant, so it was pretty quiet. Just the way we like it. The staff was friendly and the food was excellent, although it's really hard to mess up breakfast. I've been through Tonopah at least a dozen times over the years. It was great to finally stay and dine at this historic hotel. I'm glad to see it's up and running again. read more

According to a the bartender from across the street, there are only 2 places to grab breakfast in Tonopah: Pittman & Tonopah Station. There was nothing more convenient than rolling out of bed from the 5th floor of the Mizpah and falling into the booths of the Pittman Cafe. I ordered the biscuits & gravy and the Grubstaker (Applewood bacon, sausage, tomato, mushrooms, green chile, cheese) with hash browns and toast for the boyfriend and I (hey girl heeeyyyy for all the ladies who order for their men lol). Biscuits & gravy were massive and delicious---order with an extra order of sausage patties because they're homemade and bomb! Omelet was okay, and place overall was a little on the pricier side but you can tell everything was made with quality ingredients and well worth it. Coffee? Gooooood. Bloody Mary & mimosa? Also goooood. Would definitely return to eat here again. Excellent service! Shout out to our 2 servers who put green Tabasco on errythangg! read more

I'm downgrading my review because once again the Pittman Cafe disappoints, but not in their food. Their food has been consistently good. It's their SERVICE. We walked in this morning around 8:30 and stood next to the Please Wait To Be Seated sign for about 5 minutes while watching two employees walk by numerous times never making eye contact once. Then a server finally looked at us from about 25/30 feet away (back near the kitchen door) and rudely, as well as loudly yelled to us "ITS GOING TO BE A WHILE!" We left, went back to the Belvada where we were staying and I handed my complimentary breakfast coupons back and told the kind woman at the desk they may want to rethink handing these out until that place can get their shit back together. I love everything the Clines have done in Tonopah as well as with the Mizpah and Belvada (the brewery is yet another recent disappointing story and don't ask where BBQ went) but they need to ride into town and clean up their house because the way we (and others are being treated at the Pittman Cafe) is quite frankly bullshit at this point. Next month when we are in town on our way to Vegas and back I will be taking my business (food wise) down the road to the Strawberry Hill Diner. read more

When we first arrived no one was at the front so we waited about 5 minutes until someone showed up. When she did she did not speak but nodded and ended up getting the wrong amount of silverware and menus because she didn't ask how many in our party. Once we sat we probably waiting 20-25 mins until some came to our table to even take our drink order. Nonetheless we were polite and placed our order once we did get waited on. Our waitress did not have a personality and was just kind of awkward. The food was delicious! The only reason it's getting a 4 is because of the service. read more

Stopped on our way to Vegas for a wedding. A- I have always wanted to go into the Mizpah and 2- I was starving and did not want fast food. We were seated right away by a friendly man. Ordered the pork chop and the hubs got wings, we both ordered salad. Pork chop was really good. The seasoning was nice and it was still juicy. My mashed potatoes and gravy were bomb and so were the green beans. Are it all! Hubs wings were really good and friggen huge! Salads were salads, but the ranch there was yum! Our server Richard was awesome! Drinks were never empty, he was friendly and took great care of us. Very happy we stopped. Great service, cool historic spot and yummy food. We plan to come again for the weekend and will definitely eat here again! read more

Ok so the place is cool. Very old school. The cafe was full of smoke and I ordered a salad and added chicken. The chicken was so dry I couldn't eat it. The rumor was don't try the burger cause they were dry. It's descent enough clean and good service just needs some dinner help with the cooking. read more

We stayed in the Mizpah hotel overnight from St. George, Utah, to Yosemite National Park. We decided to eat in the hotel for dinner and breakfast the next day. On both occasions, the food was quite good. My wife said the salmon was excellent. The pancakes the following day were also quite good. Our waitress at dinner was kind, friendly, and helpful. The waiter in the morning must have been a new guy. He didn't know what a "short stack" was. This place didn't get a fifth star concerned the host staff. There was a line waiting to get in in the evening and the morning. The host person would take one party into the restaurant and then, instead of returning for the next party, disappear into the kitchen for between ten and twenty minutes before reappearing and seating the next in line. (Yes, I timed it. I'm nerdy that way.) This behavior was consistent both times we stood in line. We never learned what the host was doing in the kitchen, but the restaurant was not full both times. There were always tables available. At dinner, the food was not brought out consistently. We waited about 30 minutes after ordering. The couple seated two before us didn't get their food until we had eaten ours and got up to leave. The waitress was apologetic and blamed the delays on a new chef being trained. I think the production chef attempting to keep the orders moving wouldn't have to stop everything to train the new person. Maybe the restaurant didn't have sufficient cooks to have one supervise the new person while the other got the food out promptly, but it would have been nice if they had. read more

Worst customer service in all of Tonopah! The Mizpah hotel it self is definitely amazing, and a must see!! If you go to the Pittman Cafe inside the Mizpah Hotel, and Patty is you waiter, just get up and walk out. Patty is extremely rude, lazy, and very unpleasant. We asked her what she recommended on the menu, and she said "Nothing, because she doesn't eat breakfast." My response was what do most people order and she said " She can't recommended anything because she doesn't know my allergies." Quick message to Patty, Life is so better when you choose happiness! read more

Had dinner, $40 ribeye was average, nothing to say good or bad about it, the roasted veggi side was just okay. The tatter tot style appetizer was really good. Breakfast we had the Red Lady oatmeal for $9, nothing special but seemed pricey for oatmeal. Asked for a coffee while I waited, it was never brought until breakfast to go order was ready (15 mins waiting for oatmeal). I then told them that I didn't need the coffee, they made a fuss that they already charged it and could not refund me the coffee I never received, because the computer system wouldn't allow it. After standing my ground it was refund by a manger with no other issues. The decorations and atmosphere of the dinning room were great and it felt like dinning back in the day. Hopefully they were just having an off day. For upscale prices you expect higher service and food quality, regardless of the size of the town. Over all loved the hotel, disappointed with the in-house restaurant. read more
