    What a great place for a road trip breakfast! We had stayed nearby and found Dreez on Yelp. Such a…read moreperfect way to start a leisurely day of travel. From the lighthearted good energy country decor with bright color mixed with softer grays, there were things like bicycle on wall greeting us with the purpose of dreez. "FOOD " with the bike wheels forming the OO's, a cute family portrait of the namesake of this cafe, Dreez and a sign promoting strawberry lemonade mimosas! Next our server gave us a warm welcome and helped make decisions that involved a food sensitivity. And I haven't even got to the yummy food yet. My husband had the smaller of the two complete American breakfasts offered and it was quite a generous portion. A highlight was the sausage patties. I chose the half and half Benedict which was perfect because I couldn't decide between the two. I selected that one while still looking at the yelp app in my hotel room and it did not disappoint! Each half was huge. And the presentation was beautiful too. Wish I'd taken a picture! A specialty of Dreez' is the chili infused hash browns. They were great and full of flavor and had a delightful mouth feel. A bit of light crispy and just enough creaminess from the cheese and cream in them for balance. Though our super sweet and friendly server did tastefully warn against having them four days in a row for comfort sake, they were not overly spicy. Great flavors! Don't hesitate to eat here when in Elko, Nevada.

I ordered their Greek Goddess omelet, which traditionally comes with sausage, but I subbed in shrimp instead and WOW this is my new favorite omelet! The combination of the feta, sundried tomatoes, and pesto delivered a lot zest and flavor in each bite. Please keep this item on the menu forever! I opted for a side of the country potatoes with my omelet, and was disappointed when they came out covered in bacon and cheese, as nowhere on the menu did it say they came with bacon and cheese. Just a small inconvenience, and it won't change the fact that this is our new go-to breakfast spot when we pass through again in the future.

The items on inside were not as ordered. Full of yellow onion I did not order. Gravy was greasy and lukewarm.... Not safe. When the server finally came with check, I let her know the order was wrong and full of yellow onions. She replied I know, the ticket wasn't written correctly. I told her she shouldn't have served it then and I don't think I should be charged for it. She grabbed ticket irritated and said ok, then walked off. Sad, because I wanted to like this family owned quaint little breakfast place. Unfortunately, I went by all the good reviews and what a disappointment. Will not be coming back! Never saw the server after food delivered. until she brought check. Looks like locals like this place, but not for me.

    If you haven't had a good family style Basque dinner and should find yourself in Basque country…read more(Northern Nevada, Southern Idaho and Oregon), you need to add The Star onto your itinerary. A classic restaurant in the heart of Elko with roots going back longer than anyone can remember, they have perfected both family style dining, as well as the perfect steak. At a glance the price seems a little higher than you would expect from some place like Texas Roadhouse, until you realize that the entrees come with literally 7 courses. In the photo below, I had the "petite" ribeye which was huge, juicy and perfect cooked, and came with 5 sides. Not included in the multiple sides were the two previous servings of excellent cabbage soup and Basque salad. When dining at the Star, you'll never have to choose between quantity and quality - every entree comes packed with both. Great service, a nice location in the historic Elko downtown, and the infamous Picon Punch all make this a very worthwhile stop.

Though my father's favorite was Château basque, we would often go to Wool Growers. Definitely the most famous of all of the Basque family style restaurants. Star was very nostalgic and reminded me quite a bit of château basque. The place was packed. As you can see in the videos and pictures that was a line out the door. And definitely worth the wait. Pinchon Punch 2 x blue brain freeze Lamb chops medium rare Family style dinner for one (spaghetti, french fries, beans, cabbage soup, fresh baked bread, salad) Bread pudding Food and cocktails five star all the way. Lamb was cooked perfect. The cabbage soup and spaghetti were delicious. The salad dressing was unique and very enjoyable. French fries were fresh and perfect. We didn't really eat the beans, but homemade bread was fire. But our waitress Jenny was pretty nonexistent. We actually went to the bar and ordered some drinks because we didn't even know if we were going to have a waitress. Finally, when she came to the table, I told her that I pre-ordered some drinks from the bar. She walked away. About 10 minutes later, the bartender brought the cocktails. Jenny came back and asked us what we were ordering. I told her and then she walked away and we really didn't see her again until the Bill. The food and drinks were brought from a variety of people. When we needed some other stuff, I flagged down the waitress for the tables behind us and she happily got us what we needed (water, more fries, etc) I went to the bar and got another cocktail as we would've never gotten another one since we never saw Jenny. The bartender and the other server were quite friendly and helpful . We will happily come back here as the food was just perfect! And it was very nice to eat family style again since it's been quite a few years since I've been to Wool Growers. On a sidenote: Reno used to have a pretty decent Basque restaurant called Santa Fe. We went there quite often and they had the best oxtail stew and they also gave you a small bottle of wine with your dinner complementary... I really miss that place also)

The dough maker, whom I believe was named Aliza (apologies if I have the name wrong), was there preparing fresh dough, which was wonderful to see. I was fortunate to find a few pastries still available, including the Chile Verde and Beef with Cabbage. The Beef with Cabbage pastry was flavorful and especially enjoyable with their homemade "Hot & Spicy" sauce. While I would have preferred the pastry dough to be a bit crispier, I purchased it after hours and was still very pleased with the quality and taste. Overall, it was a delightful surprise and a very enjoyable experience. I also picked up one Chocolate Brownie with walnuts and a slice of their homemade Carrot cake. I had the carrot cake and it was outstanding! Fresh, flavorful, and loaded with carrots and walnuts, it was everything a great carrot cake should be. I've enjoyed desserts at five-star restaurants and have family members that easily ranks among the best bakers and this cake was delicious!!! Every mouthful was pure deliciousness, and my taste buds were extremely happy. I would gladly order it again!

The person on the phone was very polite and asked me a few questions like what sides. The place was pretty full when I got there, however, I was able to get my food quickly and the weight staff were very jovial and friendly. What we ordered: tri-tip French dip (selected potatoes for side) a chicken ciabatta sandwich (salad with vinaigrette Everything was packaged nicely. The girl asked if I wanted ranch dressing for the potatoes and I thought why not. My wife really loved the chicken sandwich and the flavor of the tri-tip sandwich was really good however I think for $20 , it could've had some more beef in it. There was only one layer about 1 inch thick. But for quality and flavor, it was perfect. The potatoes that came with it or red potatoes that were quite tender and covered in some kind of crumbs. Not quite sure what they were, kinda like toasted Panko. The potatoes were not fried with this, it was just covering all the potatoes. At first, I was not thrilled about this, but as I started eating them... I became a fan! That's the only way I could describe the breadcrumbs/topping on the potatoes lol. We enjoyed our picnic up in the mountains, partially due to the great food we took with from here

I saw good reviews and decided to stop in for breakfast while on a work trip, and was surprised to find that every single thing about my visit was perfect. Location is convenient, just off Idaho Street in Elko, but parking was easy. Inside of the restaurant is clean and stylish, and very welcoming, as were all of the waitresses. Service was exceptionally fast and friendly, the coffee was fresh and hot. They technically don't have a traditional breakfast type plate on the menu, most of their items seem to be more like breakfast sandwiches or wraps, but the waitress was quick to let me know that they would be happy to make a normal breakfast plate. It's hard to pick a favorite part because both the breakfast potatoes and the raspberry jam we're probably the best I've ever had. I expected the jam to come out in the usual disposable plastic tub, but instead it came out and appeared to be homemade. If they sold it I would have bought some of that on the side to go. Potatoes had just the right amount of savory crunch on the outside, but were soft and creamy on the inside. When I lived in the area before I felt like there never were any great breakfast options in Elko, but I can definitely say that this place will not disappoint. I'll be back for sure!

Being able to seat yourself is nice, because then you don't have to wait on someone to seat you, and our drink order was immediately taken. After yapping for a while, we ordered two Open Faced Turkey Sandwiches w/ Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, a French Dip w/ Onion rings and a Half Rack of Ribs with Loaded Mashed Potatoes. Our food arrived relatively quickly actually, but unfortunately, it wasn't very warm. The mashed potatoes on both turkey dinners were cold, and had to be sent back to be warmed up (which I'm pretty sure they just did it in the microwave.) My mashed potatoes with my ribs were also cold, but I ate them anyways because I didn't want to have to send every plate back. I felt bad for them. The beef on the French dip looked dry and kind of old, but the onion rings were amazing. The ribs were amazing, falling off the bone tender and super flavorful. It really is unfortunate that everybody's mashed potatoes were cold. Once they were kind of heated up, everything was pretty good though. The waitresses were all super nice even after we had to send food back, so I'm glad they at least had good attitudes and weren't mean to us afterwards. One unique thing I think is really cool about this place is they have a salad bar that is included in some of the dinners! Although it was not included in my rib dinner, so I didn't go and look at it. The restaurant itself was quiet with just the faint sound of casino machines in the background, and a few rowdy guys who showed up in big trucks and were yelling at each other through the windows. All in all, it wasn't too bad and I would probably try it again, but they really do need to heat up those mashed potatoes better.

They didn't wanna wait till even Wendover, cause there might not be any good food way out there. OK, so, I pull into the Gold Dust West. I've stopped here before and I do like the food they have at the Grill coffee shop inside the casino. We get seated and drink orders taken. You know I do notice a sandwich on the menu I never had before. It's the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Usually I'd think grilled cheese was a boring sandwich you order for kids or something. But I saw it had bacon and tomato in it. You do have you choice of cheese (besides American) and choice of bread. I got it on sourdough and cheddar cheese along with onion rings ($2.00 extra). I couple of my crew got the same but with fries. The other girl on the crew got the Cali Omelet. Our food arrives and I'm surprised at the heft of the grilled cheese on sourdough. I bite in and wow, this is pretty damn tasty! It's not what I expected at all, better! The other guys liked it too and said they'd get this sandwich again. OK, I was impressed with this new grilled cheese and I think they have it at all the other Gold Dust west locations in Reno and Carson City.

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.
