We came to eat here while staying in Elko. The food was great. Even the picky kid liked it. The service was excellent the waiter was friendly and super efficient. The ambiance was great for families.

Wonderful breakfast/lunch joint in Elko! We stopped here on our way from Utah to Reno, but stumbled across this place when the normal breakfast spot we go to was closed. Boy, I'm glad we did! The interior is much more than you would expect from a traditional coffee shop, and the service was spot on! I got the Popeye omelette with a side of pancakes (it's all about balance, right?!) both were phenomenal! My son and husband got the French dip with fries, and loved them! The ranch was the best! Service was super fast and friendly, and the food came out really quick, which was nice since we were tying to get home in a storm. I wish I would have bought one of the items in their dessert case up front (pies, muffins, cookies, cheesecake), but I was so full, I couldn't think about eating anything else. A definite must-try!

Dining area

The Coffee Mug is warm and inviting. The brick walls are beautiful. An adjoining bar with tv makes for a large space. Both of us ordered French toast. It is amazing. The coffee is hot and flavorful. The staff is friendly. Will definitely be back when visiting Elko.

In reading reviews from others, one needs to know the style and intent of the place. People looking for sophisticated, fancy meal will be disappointed. People looking for a family style meal, with the warm and engaging people, with honest, real, good food, will be thrilled. We were there for a late lunch. Our server was extremely kind and explained the menu, process, and local favorites The Pico Punch had a touch of Vicks 44, but that's exactly what it should taste like. The quantities are huge. Cabbage soup broth was delicious. Italian bread would be better if warmed, but still good. The salad was robustly tossed and the dressing had a nice touch of garlic. The steak sandwich was tender and had an excellent marinade/flavor. Fries: very greasy and not their finest moment. We have family in Iowa and this all felt similar: Midwest friendliness, warmth, and good food. We were leaving at 445 and the line had grown to 20 for dinner! Appeared to be locals/regulars. As another noted, yes, there are brothels just down the street. Hey, it adds to the local charm!

I heard the food was pretty good here and a decent deal. I go in with one co worker whose driving me around Elko. It's not really too smokey in here, so that's a good thing, but it's not a crowded Saturday night either with all kinds of drinking and smoking at the slots going on. We get seated at a nice table and I go over the menu. They have a prime rib special here for $17.99 and it's available everyday from 11 am! Most of these casino restaurants that have prime rib, only have that on Fri and Sat after like 4 pm. I passed this time, but what I did see was the Chicken Fried Steak! It's supposed to be a 10 oz. beef patty, breaded and deep fried served with country gravy, hashbrowns and toast, and then even THREE eggs, for just $13, that's a deal. In the Bay Area where I was just working, they don't even serve Chicken Fried Steak ..... it's like truck driver food I guess. My friend had this Cali Omelet ... yeah it was sort of breakfast time for us. That was the more healthy option with veggies and no meat, just the opposite of what I ordered! The food came out in short time and look fab! I ordered my Chicken Fried Steak on a separate plat with gravy on the side, so I didn't get gravy all mushed up with my eggs and potatoes. Holy moly, that was a lot of food! Super tasty, I just ate half and took the rest to go, gave it to my friend since I flying back out soon and I don't think the airline would appreciate me bring Chicken fried steak on the plane to eat! The omelet looked better than I thought it was gonna for the price. Tons of avocado on top and fluffy hashbrowns! 5 stars for the food here!

Once seated, our experience was a mix of highs and "almosts." - Appetizer: We started with the fried pickles -- crisp, flavorful, and addictive -- though a seasoned dipping sauce would have taken them to the next level. - Entrées: Antonio ordered the prime rib, advertised at 12 oz, but it appeared a bit smaller than expected. Portion sizes for his sides, however, were generous and satisfying. I went with the penne alla vodka but received penne with marinara instead. While the garlic bread was decent, I missed the creamy, robust vodka sauce that was promised. - Service: A little on the slow side, though staff were polite once they arrived at the table. Overall, the food was decent, but not quite on target. We're planning to give them another try for breakfast -- here's hoping that meal hits closer to the mark.

The bartender was friendly and prompt with service. There appeared to be many locals there. We were seated promptly for dinner. It took a bit for our server to arrive to our table, but once there she was friendly and informative. We started with the spring rolls. They were mushy on the inside. It appeared they were wrapped with dumpling wrappers that were soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. We didn't prefer the texture. Hubby didn't like the sauce served with them but I did. We wouldn't order them again. We chose a spinach salad as the side to our entrees. It was fresh but overdressed. It became soggy very quickly. Hubby had the braised lamb shank special. He said it was fall off the bone tender. There were parts of it on the outside though that were too hard to chew, as if those parts had been outside of the braising liquid too long. The polenta was grainy and undercooked. Polenta should be smooth and silky. The sauce was too salty. I had the Basque Pasta. I asked the waitress if the mussels were fresh and she told me they were frozen. I never should have ordered the dish. The mussels were so dry and fishy tasting I couldn't eat them, and I love mussels. I even bit down on a couple of pieces of broken mussel shells. There was hardly any sauce so the noodles were dry as well. The cheese on top wasn't melted. I barely touched my dish. The servers, including ours, were working very hard and seemed to be providing everyone with great service. I'm giving 3 stars because of the food. I know it's a local fave, but we won't be back.

So it was pretty solid 5 stars on my covid rating. I try not to bee too harsh with casino coffee shops. I am not expecting gourmet cuisine and 5-star white glove service - especially in rural Nevada old time casino coffeeshops. Normally I would have given this a solid 4 stars after we were greeted seated and brought coffee (which was amazingly good) and huge glasses of orange juice that tasted pretty close to the real thing. It kind of went down-hill after that. My husband and I both ordered traditional Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise sauce with a side of hash browns. Now if there is one thing casino coffee shops uasually get right it is hash browns. Apparently not here. Our plates we loaded up with barely beige shredded potatoes that were not crispy not buttery, not salty, and definitely not cooked through. The Eggs Benedict did not fare a whole lot better. The "Hollandaise" was a gelatinous blob of bright orange something with a texture that resembled Velveeta with none of the flavor. The poached eggs were the best part - firm whites and runny yolks, She let us know there was a delay in the kitchen but our food would be out soon. The service would have been enough to bump this up to 4 stars. However, once we were served, she were done. When she brought our check and took away our plates with the meal half eaten, she did not ask if everything was alright. She said she would be our cashier. After waiting 10 minutes for her to come back we just left the money on the table. I am very disappointed by the level of service and the quality of the meal with should have been better - even by casino coffee shop standards.
