I wasn't gonna make it to elko because I didn't sleep yet. I had this restaurant on my bucket list to visit. This was a great move to stop here for coffee and a snack. I had chicken fried steak in mind but the gentleman next to me had the loco moco, I've never tried that before so why not, anything with rice and gravy is a winner in my book. The loco moco was pretty darn good, but I will ask for the sausage gravy that comes with the chicken fried steak instead next time, I do love the sausage gravy better.

Great place for breakfast or lunch! Small business with multiple locations in Nevada and Idaho. Clean, neat, pretty and well furnished. Beautifully appointed wood decor with many varied Tiffany style lamps. Pretty rows of flower boxes outside. Indoor and covered outdoor dining. Clean restrooms. Busy place at lunch and clearly a favorite of locals. Lots of busy restaurant staff. Great fresh squeezed Orange Juice.

We stopped at The Griddle mainly because we had DMV business in Winnemucca--and we're really glad we did. It's a classic diner with all the comfort foods you hope for. We came specifically to try the chicken fried steak and the corned beef hash, and didn't stop there. We also ordered biscuits and gravy with hash browns with the works, plus a buttermilk pancake. Everything was fast, hot, and fabulous. What really stood out was the service. Even though we walked in about 20 minutes before closing, the staff were genuinely delightful--welcoming, unhurried, and kind. If you're passing through Winnemucca and want a solid, satisfying diner meal with great service, this is a great stop.

So cute!!

TEN STARS!! What a great find. Old time diner with all the ambience-including vintage cars outside! - and the diner food & service to back it up! I had the slims crusted French toast that came with delicious fresh berries & hubby had the meat lover's omelette with hash browns & English muffin. Everything about this place is AWESOME!! We've been in the road 3 weeks, been through 12 states so far and this was our best meal out!

Croissant Breakfast Sandwich with Hashbrowns and salsa

Good food, great service and comfy atmosphere all in one place. This will probably remind you of your Grandparents home or maybe a favorite place they took you to as a child. They open early 6:00 which was perfect for us the day we came. We had Croissant breakfast sandwiches with hash browns. Not too big, but big enough. At this posting I am just now getting hungry again, it's 3:45 in the afternoon! The coffee was excellent as well. Friendly attentive servers made sure we had everything we needed and that our cups were full of fresh hot brew. The menu is large with plenty to choose from. There is off street parking and an outdoor seating area for good weather days. Come on in and sit a spell, enjoy a meal and the happy atmosphere we experienced.

Now this is a diner!

This is the kind of place you will return to! First, the counter was filled with employees enjoying their breakfast...the fact that they were enjoying the food at the establishment was great. The menu has some creative options, but when the waitress said I should try the chilaquiles, something I love...I did. They were AMAZING. I asked for mine with an egg over easy and it was divine. Great coffee and service. Charming avocado green diner chairs that are nostalgic.

Hash and eggs and the Carnitas Benedict!

We were on the last leg of our trip -- Wendover to Sacramento -- and were feeling hungry for breakfast as we neared Winnemucca. Luckily The Griddle came up as a 'breakfast near me" recommendation! It was absolute perfection! In a charming old diner setting we sat down for delicious food, piping hot diner coffee and really friendly service! I had the Carnitas Benedict and it was outstanding, zipped up with a little Cholula and accompanied by crispy fried potatoes and a fruit bowl. My husband had a he eggs and hash, which was also delicious! A great experience!

Made a lunch stop and pulled up Yelp, The Griddle sounded like a great try. I walked through the back and made my way to the front with what appeared a crowded diner area. I was greeted by a friendly waitress who let me know I can pick a seat of my choosing. I decided to go the back area which was surrounded by windows, cool lamps and had small tables available. I went with the Golden gate and a side of fruit. The fruit serving was amazing. The melt on the other hand had one side perfectly toasted and the other side almost like it was not flipped over for crispiness. Also, a bunch of the avocado was placed in the bread and appeared black with ripeness. Yikes! My waitress was hustling in the back but always very sweet and attentive which I truly appreciated. I'm not sure I would come back though. Glad I was able to try it though while in the area.

Southwest Hash with Sourdough toast and jam

Welcome to!!!!! Winnemucca Nevada. A town of gold, silver and the unexpected. During our recent road trip, we stopped at The Griddle. A locals scene where everyone knows your name. Located in the middle of town is a brown one story building with a blue and pink awning, the Griddle. Open for breakfast and lunch 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The restaurant is very rustic with old world charm. Front row seats at the counter with well worn booth seating as well as a few tables. Watching the waiters/ waitresses is like watching a conductor directing the cooks, a well practiced orchestra. Linquicia and eggs, chicken fried steak, hamburger well done oh and a salad. Something for everyone. The food arrives hot, the coffee cup never empties, a satisfying meal whispers, do yourself a favor, come back again. The Southwest Hash, red potatoes, chorizo, thinly sliced jalapeño peppers, black beans and salsa lay gently below chipotle hollandaise sauce, sliced avocado and feta cheese. Along side, toasted bread of your choice with a wonderful " home style " fruit jam. Today's special, a delicious choice! So... if you're ever between here and there, find yourself in the desert town of Winnemucca Nevada, stop at the Griddle and smell the roses. Definitely, a diamond in the rough. Enjoy!

Breakfast tostada ( with quinoa , black beans, scrambled eggs, guac , pickled onions, sour cream and home made salsa)
Jennifer S.

Go here! Us two foodies could not believe how great the menu was, and how DELICIOUS our food was .. we would have just driven past, had we not read yelp reviews first.. so glad we did! Staff was friendly and attentive, and tho we sat outside ( cause we prefer that when weather accommodates) the interior was so cute- original/ vintage looking . I got the breakfast tostadas, and the waitress let me order Just one sweet crepe on the side - cause I really wanted to taste that bacon pecan caramel topping- I never order sweets but wow was it worth it:) Hubby got hash, with a biscuit and gravy - all in all felt like Christmas morning breakfast ! And the drip coffee was actually good too- not your usual cafe/diner coffee. Where we come from this meal would have been 2-3 times more than we paid , beet satisfying all around.

See all
