On our way through Tonopah, I yelped this location for a late meal as I wanted breakfast. We were seated quickly & menus provided. The order was taken and the food came out hot. I ordered a skillet and my wife got a sandwich. My biscuit & gravy were on top of my meal, not on the side as one would expect. My wife's sandwich was small but tasty, the side was small but good. The star loss is based on portion size. We did have a dessert that was really good and better sized than our meal.

Food was surprisingly good. Lettuce in my side salad was really fresh. Pancakes looked homemade but rest of food seemed frozen deep fried food. They did have what looked like fresh homemade pie and cinnamon rolls. We didn't try any dessert. Service was just okay though we did get our food pretty fast. There were probably only 3 other tables full and we were never asked for a refill and my husband had to walk up to counter to get our bill. The restaurant is inside an old Casino. Smoking is still allowed in Casino so the restaurant smelled of smoke which was unappealing. The decor is very 1984 and was somewhat creepy. Overall, if you're in the middle of nowhere Nevada and need to eat it was acceptable.

After a long day of touristing in Arizona and Nevada, I stopped for the night and booked a room at Tonopah Station. After having slept the previous two nights in the car, the idea of a warm bed and a hot shower appealed greatly to me! Plus, staying in a historic mining town in an establishment with some history was definitely a bonus. The only downside to the experience was the 6000 foot elevation, which made it somewhat difficult to breathe, but it's all part of the travel experience. After checking in and hauling my stuff to my room, I looked around at some of the history on display there, and headed into the Stage Stop Cafe for a meal. I was immediately taken aback by how cool and old western the cafe was, and the atmosphere was amazing to me. Living out east, this is something I rarely get to experience. Anyway, the waitress was super friendly, and definitely knew all the locals there, making small talk with everyone and working with an injury, while keeping a smile on her face. I was pretty tired from my day, so I went with the Chicken Philly with a side of potato salad they had on special. I wasn't prepared for what I was about to be given. The plate arrived and it was the second meal of the day with a larger portion than I expected, the first being the breakfast on Route 66. The Philly was pretty good for its size, and the potato salad was fresh and very flavorful! The peppers and onions on the sandwich had a smoky, grilled taste to them that just enhanced the cheese and well seasoned chicken in that soft hoagie bun! It was so much, I actually had to take half of it to go, which I ate the next morning before hitting the road again. I love Tonopah Station and The Stage Stop Cafe, and hope I can stay there again on my return trip back to Alabama.

Over the years I have eaten here many times. It's a reliable place that serves decent food. The people working here have always been excellent. The food is your usual American diner style with a pretty good size menu offering a variety of choices for everyone. I'm impressed at how well the cooks prepare the meals quickly but never lacking quality. The servers always seem to move in sync with each other and never miss a beat. It's a very casual place with plenty of tables. I like the counter that offers seven places to sit if you're by yourself. It's usually where I eat breakfast while my clothes dry at the laundromat. This is another place I've never experienced a bad meal, so if you're traveling through Tonopah, you can't go wrong to grab a meal here.

On our bus trip to Reno, the group made a stop at the Tonopah Station to have lunch at the Stage Stop Cafe. We were quickly seated and even though there were 36 of us plus regular customers, service was fairly quick. The average age of their staff is younger than me but they moved. I ordered a turkey melt and an iced tea. I sat at a table with three others. Our food came quickly. The sandwich was good. We went to the register at the counter to pay and we were out to the bus in less time than had be allotted for our lunch stop. They did a good job!

Stopped at Tonopah Station to stay the night and decided to eat at their little Cafe for dinner. I highly recommend eating here even if you aren't staying and are just driving through. Excellent old school cafe style food with a wide menu variety. All the sandwiches sounded delicious. Loved the fact they put the sauce for the Reuben sandwich on the side as I was able to use some for my burger as the hubby does not like his Reubens drowning in sauce. Will definitely stop and eat here again as not only was the food great, but the service was just as good.

What you would expect from a casino diner! The food came out quick, and everything we had was tasty. We had chicken tenders & fries, garlic Parmesan fries, and a chicken quesadilla. All of the items tasted fresh. The service was fast and friendly, we went to the cafe at a quiet time. The decor is simple, a little grimey, but also what I think you'd expect out of a casino diner. No music, so it was a bit quiet and awkward at times. A nice place to stop if you're passing through Tonopah.

Great place for breakfast. The staff is super friendly, and quick. They are very nice to crazy grandchildren. You have to stop at Tonapah Station, even if it's just to look around. You have to get a photo with "James the bear"!

Cute, little rustic restaurant inside the Tonopah casino. Stopped there on the road to Reno on a very cold night. There is RV parking in the back with electric and water hookups for $34 a night. We decided to try the restaurant. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner all day long. They close at 9:00. We ordered the fish platter and shared it because it was late at night. It was more than enough for two people. There were two pieces of fried cod, 3 fried shrimp and a large serving of fried clams. Included with the meal was soup or salad, bread and butter, a choice of sides and coleslaw. They allowed us to bring in a bottle of wine and provided glasses. The server was very friendly and nice. The entire staff wished me happy birthday. They did not rush us at all. I thoroughly enjoyed the stop as I've never visited this location in Tonopah before but I will keep it in mind when I travel through.

Don't let the 3star rating fool you! This place delivers on what it represents! When we travel I enjoy stopping at local cafes, or diners, there is almost always a colorful staff,a quirky atmosphere and a menu that is unpretentious! This spot in Tonpah is all of that and a slice of pie! Even though they were extremely over decorated for Christmas it is ok! The food was hot and plentiful and the coffee refills kept a comin! ! Our server was friendly and did a great job! Remember to get some of the great fresh made pies from the display case or at least get one to go!

Staff always friendly and attentive. Cool memorabilia and old diner feel. I eat here every time I am in the area. This time I had the turkey melt which has become a favorite. Fries were great and the sandwich was perfectly browned on thick bread with lots of meat and very tasty as always. I also love the Chicken Fried Steak breakfast and CFS Skillet and the Mozzarella Sticks are very good. Every soup I have tried has been excellent.
