    Picon
    Russ C.

    Toki Ona's is a very well known Basque restaurant in Elko with a very good reputation. In my opinion, a good Basque restaurant serves there food family style and that is exactly what you get here. So be prepared to eat or take food home. I ordered a Picon (Basque cockta) and the salmon. The Picon was very good and the first serving was a very nice bean soup. The second serving was an already tossed salad that was good. Then came the two big pieces of perfectly cook salmon along with, rice, pasta, green beans and the traditional plate of French fries. The salmon was very good, fries were a bit limp and the other three dishes were good but plain. I will definitely be back to give them another try and recommend you give them a try.

    Stepping into Toki Ona, I felt like I had wandered into an age-old Basque boarding house, where every guest is treated like family and every plate is prepared with the kind of care that speaks to tradition. For our first visit, my husband dove into a dish that could've fed a whole cuadrilla: tender pork chops paired with a colorful spread of pasta salad, rice with peas, carrots, and corn, and a generous helping of green beans that would make any amuma (grandmother) proud. As a bariatric vegetarian, I was more limited in my options but still found warmth in the classic comfort of a grilled cheese and the cozy companion that was the Ana potato--fluffy, savory, and soul-soothing. Before we even got to the main course, we were welcomed with fresh-baked Basque bread (a hug in loaf form) and a zesty salad topped with a dressing that whispered garlic, embraced mayo, and kissed olive oil. We passed on dessert this time--only because our bellies waved the white flag--but I've already got my eyes set on the tiramisu for our next round. If the starters are any indication, dessert will be just as soul-satisfying. In true Basque spirit, the portions are generous, the flavors comforting, and the hospitality unassuming yet warm. Toki Ona may translate to "the good place," but I'd add "the right place"--especially when you're hungry for something real.

    Our full table. The soup had already been removed.

    Four of us came to Toki Ona for dinner for the first time recently. We all agreed that Toki Ona is indeed a good place. We arrived early and seating was not a problem. By 6 pm, nearly every table was taken and a group of 11 had come in. My husband and I shared a main, the cod. The split plate charge was $13.95. A good deal for all the sides. Once seated and drink orders taken, soup arrived on the table quickly. Beef barley. This was no watery broth. It was a hearty soup with plenty of beef and barley. It had deep flavor, body, and black pepper zing. We'd be glad to have thst for dinner alone. The bread was also really good. The salad, green beans, sphagetti, and rice was fine. Not particularly outstanding, but not bad. The other surprise was the potate choice. Toki Ona gives you a choice of fries, baked potato, or Ana potatoe. The Ana potatoe is much like a scslloped potato, but Toki ona does it one better. They slice a potatoe and put it back together and cook it in butter and seasonings. It is exceptionally good looking and delicious. I recommend it highly. For the main I shared the cod with my husband. When asked how I'd like it, I replied medium. I guess it was the spicing level. The cod was cooked well and tasted a bit like it was blackened. Service was really good. The busy wait staff checked on us even as the dining room filled up with patrons. All in all, we really enjoyed our dinner here and would come back in a heart beat.

    You get served bread butter soup to start your dinner.

    The restaurant feels old times yet wet clean and well maintained. They serve their food family style and the waitress attending the tables are very friendly. We had lamb chops pork chops and stuffed shrimp with rice pasta beans salad fries. It was a lot of food. I really enjoyed the shrimp but the rest were just meh.

    House side salad

    First time visiting Toki Ona and was pleasantly surprised!! We visited during Cowboy Poetry and I have to say, the food was good and service was surprisingly fast!! Three of us came in and were sat immediately, there was no wait which was awesome. We ordered two Eggs Benedict breakfasts, two bowls of Chicken Noodle Soup, and a BLT with fries and a house side salad. First of all, the soup was so good. The noodles seemed homemade, while the broth was flavorful and just what we needed on a cold day. The house side salad was a classic basque salad with that creamy garlicky dressing basque salads are known for. My son's BLT with Avocado was big with fresh veggies. My son said he wished the fries were crispier and not as limp, but had great flavor. The Eggs Benedict was yummy and the hollandaise had good flavor, however, the yolks of my eggs were definitely overcooked and therefore I didn't get that yummy runny yolk experience you love with Benedict. And the hashbrowns could have been more crispy. However the English muffins were soooo good. All in all the food was really delicious and the lunch menu has a lot of variety. I can't wait to go back and try a Philly cheesesteak... but I might have to bring my own whiz!

    Biscuits and gravy, hash browns, rye toast

    We came here the Sunday before Memorial Day. They were really busy, but we were still seated and got our drinks very quickly. It seems like we had two servers the whole time, which was a little odd but kept us attended to regularly. The food was pretty good. Our table got biscuits and gravy, eggs Benedict, the garden omelette, and an egg combo with bacon, hash browns, and sourdough. Everyone enjoyed the food and plates were cleaned! The atmosphere was comfortable, and it had a diner feel. It's not the absolute best breakfast in Elko, but it was definitely good, and we'd come back.

    Ribeye, NY and sautéed spicy shrimp, potatoes ana, rice, green beans and spaghetti

    Wow this place is good. Terra from the Elkotel recommended and it was delicious. Staff was very friendly. The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but was clean and spacious in the inside. I recommend the ribeye or the NY with the spicy sautéed shrimp.

    Got takeout. It was ok. Food overly greasy. They also got the initial order wrong and had to fix it.

    The portions are good. The toast and potatoes are very good. The omelette is fresh but bland. The service is very good.

    Was not a fan. The steak was very chewy. So were the fries. The salad is just lettuce with a water down sauce. Everything needed salt.
