The menu is huge, but if there's one thing you absolutely have to try, it's the peach wings. I can honestly say they were out of this world--so good that I would happily travel 4 hours from Vegas just to have them again. That's how unforgettable they are! On top of the food, the service here is wonderful. Every server we interacted with was so kind, sweet, and even asked to pet my dog, which just made the experience feel even more warm and welcoming. I can't say enough good things about this place. I literally dream about those peach wings and cannot wait for the day I get to come back for them!

One of the best versions of that dish I've had in years. No consideration from management for the wait... I wanted to give a 5th star...

The historic Hotel Nevada converted their restaurant to a Denny's franchise a few years ago. When…read morewe asked locals for a place to eat I'm unsure why more than one of them said, "don't go to Denny's". It's convenient, breakfast is included with your room, and it's really no different than any other Denny's anywhere. We went on two consecutive mornings when we visited Ely and although the service was a little slow during the breakfast the food was well prepared, presented and the server was very courteous. The food was exactly as expected, and I can't imagine how breakfast could be much better than this anywhere else in town. It was certainly several levels above any chain hotel buffet of heated up, pre-prepared foods. Tip - when staying for the free breakfast take the option of applying five dollars off of any menu item instead of the free breakfast. It's pretty skimpy. We paid about $25 for a very nice breakfast this way. Give it a try, especially if you're staying in the hotel. There aren't a lot of other options in Ely.

I will definitely come back several times on my teip

Wow! I can't believe there are bad reviews on Yelp for La Fiesta. Must be the worst kind of people…read more La Fiesta was amazing. The reviews made me skeptical but I am so happy I went. The deluxe Nachos - shredded beef & combo fajitas were S-Tier (aka the Best ever). I'm serious. Nachos were $11 for a massive portion. Fajitas $19 for a massive portion. After devouring everything I could barely walk to my car. Would highly recommend these dishes for anyone skeptical. Also I'm a big salsa guy and their salsa was very good. I had 4 servings. Service was top tier. They had two bussers who constantly brought over more salsa and drinks and were very polite. Service was quick. If you're ever in the Ely area this place is a Must Go. Ignore any one star review. I rarely give 100% tips but this restaurant earned one tonight. Well done.

Five stars for just existing in such a remote location. My server suggested that they had a prime rib dinner special that evening and I couldn't resist trying it. The food wasn't over the top in flavor and quality but was solid, flavorful and an unexpected treat. The prickly pear margarita wasn't my favorite but was certainly refreshing. I just like a little more tart taste in my cup o' tequila. The international crowd seemed to enjoy the outdoor dining ambiance while I, being solo, hung out and ate at the bar. The staff were friendly, maybe a little inefficient in their efforts, but all were helpful given time. I felt a little bad for the owner-chef, who seemed to be herding cats at times. Overall, I'm really glad I had dinner here in Baker rather than waiting to eat in Ely where I spent the night. I wish the owners and staff success and will be back when I'm in the area.

The servers were next-level friendly and prompt despite the dinner rush, they have some fun art, and it's a peaceful place. I really loved the green beans, and another favorite item was the apricot sorbet. They make a ton of items, which is very cool. I only wish they had a few more dairy-free items (especially for breakfast), but what they do offer is far better than expected for this remote location- it would stand up in any metro area. My husband raved about the root beer float, pasta, and pizza. Dinner is sit-down and if you go for breakfast or lunch, it's counter service. They have an extremely well-stocked bar- we didn't partake, but many around us did, and drinks looked excellent.

Review # 20 for 2025…read more For a cafe in the middle of nowhere at a National Park, this place was great and very reasonably priced!! It was a very pleasant surprise. We got to Great Basin early in the morning to try and get stand by tickets for the observatory tour and so we did not have time to get breakfast in the morning. We also had a cave tour that morning right after signing up for tickets. We did bring some food, but lunch meats type of lunch and I wanted to get some hot food for my baby boy as it was cold and raining on/off that day. They are open from 8am-5pm everyday. There was a good variety of food. I ended up getting the loaded breakfast potatoes. The potatoes were a bit overcooked but overall it tasted good. My baby sure loved it! It was topped with cheese and bacon and costs around $10. I also got an iced mocha and cold brew for the hubby. My husband liked his cold brew, I like my mocha a bit less sweet but it did the job for me. It does get really busy so expect a wait if it's busy as there is one person in the front and one in the back making the food. The lady taking my order was very nice and helpful. There are a handful of tables inside, as well as a handful of tables outside. There are also some park picnic tables if you walk around behind the building a bit. Would I come back here? If I was at Great Basin again I totally would! Other items I saw people ordered looked really good too!! The prices are very fair and I would definitely get some hot food here and not pack so much food next time around. I really wanted to try the chili!

This time part of the group had the braut special. Apparently, made in Delta, UT, this braut was something else. Again, ate too fast for photos. It was topped with a dill slaw, a mild bbq sauce, and accompanied by fries. The caliber of the food was a surprise. The service was quick and friendly. If you're visiting Great Basin Nat'l Park, look no further for your lunch needs. This cafe won't disappoint.
