Snitzel sandwich
Keith L.

Ok folks I'm back! Had a long vacation and moved....here I am in Ely, NV. I have eaten at almost everywhere in town. Most places are pretty good and we are getting some places that are REALLY GOOD! Shorty's is one of the REALLY GOOD FOOD places. Now it is a good truck but don't let that fool you. They put the smack down on the food they create. They have cold and hot sandwiches, salads and soups. I do wish they carried beverages but hey that's not there thing. The service is great and they are quick. Plus you can order online at their Facebook page. I highly recommend that. I place my order online and drove to their spot and boom, food was ready. I ordered the Brutus (all the sandwiches come with soup). Most of the time it's tomato soup which is good but today was a potato soup. The sandwich I received was on a wheat bread with chicken snitzel, green apples, red onions, lettuce, candied pecans. You get tomatoes too but I don't like them on my sandwiches so I opted out if the tomatoes. Why do I want to just marry that sandwich. It just works! Sweet, salt, savory etc. You want to order 50 of them but I'm full after 1. There sandwiches are always just a step above everyone else's sandwiches. They are different, consistent and above all TASTY! Let's move on to this liquid love of a potato soup that they do. It has spinach, onion, carrots, rounded potato slices and a broth that has a different flavor than all the potato soups I've tried. It's definitely potato soup but it just has this extra seasoning or something I can't figure out and it takes it to a WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL! It's velvety and hearty. Shorty's YOU ROCK! Keep it up!

Chicken and rice soup.

I have been eyeing this truck for a while and I finally tried it this month. I had the Grapevine salad that comes with Chicken Schnitzel, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Shredded Parmesan Cheese, Red Grapes, Candied Pecans & French Vinaigrette. The salad was impressive and delicious and the schnitzel was nicely breaded. My only complaint is that the vinaigrette was under seasoned.. The salad came with a soup much to my surprise. The soup was edible but could have been less dense because it was chicken and rice, and like the salad, it needed more seasoning, or at least some salt. I will definitely try another item from the menu next time I am in Ely.

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.

We came here for dinner. It was conveniently a few minutes walk from the place I was staying at,…read moreand I had a $5 off coupon. There was plenty of tables and service as good as we were rather early. We ordered the Wild Alaska Salmon and Salmon Salad Your Way. The food was very good and filling. Knocked off a star because the waitress said we could select two sides for the Wild Alaska Salmon, but not once mentioning there was extra cost; I would have liked a heads up and not be surprised when I pay the bill.
