I love to travel, and this time we decided to go for a true ranch experience in Fallon, Nevada. We came across this place, and honestly, it was one of the best decisions we made on the trip. Everything was absolutely delicious, but my favorite was the tri-tip sandwich -- hands down. You can truly taste the difference between real, fresh meat and processed food. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The only downside was that they ran out of biscuits and gravy that day, but after hearing a local mention that the tri-tip often sells out the day before, I'd say that's a good problem to have. Highly recommend stopping here if you're passing through or visiting Fallon. And if you're a local... you already know how good this place is. read more

The food here is Fantastic! I've never had a bad meal EVER! Best Chicken Fried Steak in Fallon! The Breakfast and Chorizo Burritos are Huge and Delicious! My favorite place to go for Breakfast! Number One Choice Always! Outside of town at Trento and Highway 50! read more

We came in pretty late for biscuits and gravy and they had to run out. So we opted for the French toast and I honestly have to say it is the best French toast I have ever had. I live about 30 miles away, but I will be driving back there to try the biscuits and gravy and have French toast again. Server was very nice. It's a little hard to find, but it's worth the drive and the search. read more

Was recommended by a guard at Fallon Navy Base. He wasn't lying. This was the best breakfast I have ever had. Everything was fresh from the eggs that got delivered from the local farmer to the tri-tip that melted in your mouth read more

Wild Horse Cafe - Tri-tip omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fallon, Nevada

Amazing food and service was great! It was nice being about able to sit in a local cafe and enjoy amazing locally raised food

Food was good with generous proportions. Not sure customers and waitstaff knew what to do with an interracial couple sporting tattoos. Ambiance was a little awkward due to obvious tension in the air. Might be back for the food, but it would be a take-out scenario. read more

Initially we weren't sure as we pulled into a livestock arena but as soon as we got inside and our waitress (Jolene) started service we were more comfortable. BC of a gluten allergy I wasn't sure if I could eat but the owner/cook (Shelly) actually came to table and discussed the cooking process. Most importantly, she offered to modify to avoid cross contamination. It's truly a hidden gem as someone else noted. The breakfast was delicious! Service amazing! Family owned and great experience adventure in the location. Highly recommend if you are nearby! read more

Delicious pancakes and omelette. Big portions. Reasonable prices. Surly teenage waitresses add to the down home ambience of this cafe at the Fallon Stockyards, a livestock auction site. Outdoor seating for those traveling with a dog. Not marked from the highway, the turnoff, or even the parking lot. Therefore mostly locals. We enjoyed it. read more

I've been working out of Fallon for about 7 months and Wild Horse Cafe has become a staple for me. I make sure to eat here at least once a week, the food and customer service will always keep me coming back. The smothered omelet is my go-to meal, the gravy here is hands down the best I've ever had! I've tried a lot of things on the menu and haven't had anything that I didn't like. Truly a bang for your buck as well, always left satisfied after the meal and it's a great price for the portions. The cafe is cozy and the staff is always friendly and easy to talk to. More restaurants need to take notes from Wild Horse Cafe! read more

Wild Horse Cafe - Biscuit gravy and two eggs over easy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fallon, Nevada

What I like about Wild Horse Cafe is that you really don't know it's there unless you're a local or you do a search. It's a small cafe but seems to be relatively busy. The staff is friendly and attentive. I order the French bread French Toast only. It's a small dish but it was very good. I like how they warmed up a bottle of syrup which I thought was a nice touch. I wouldn't mind going back and trying something else on their menu. read more

We were driving through and found this little gem because of the high yelp reviews. They did not disappoint. If you are going anywhere near I highly recommend it. If it looks like your GPS is bringing you into a stockyard then you are in the right place! Great food. Fries are the bomb. Just regular fries but cooked and seasoned to perfection. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Pancakes were huge, flavorful and fluffy. French toast was perfect and made with thick sliced bread. Cheese burger is on a substantial bun and was tasty. Country Benedict is like a deconstructed sausage gravy and biscuits and perfect! Tri-tip Sandwich was loaded with meat and the AuxJu was tasty. read more

I little out the ways but worth the drive foods incredible food Tri tip was super soft fell apart with fork no knife necessary

Food was very good and the service was outstanding. I would highly recommend the place.

My wife and I drove out to Fallon on Saturday to try a restaurant that had been on our list for a while. There information online stated they were open on Saturday's but we did not call to check if they were open on this holiday weekend (the Saturday after Thanksgiving) and when we drove by they were closed. We were both hungry and quickly turned to Yelp and found the Running Iron Cafe was very close by. The exterior is nothing fancy but we decided to go in and check it out. Wow -- are we glad we did!!!! It's decorated very simply but it's clean and comfortable. There are a series of curtains that cover what looks like are cooler doors - we are assuming the space used to be a convenience store. There are about 10 tables and three booths and about half were occupied. We were immediately told to have a seat wherever we liked. We were brought menus, had our drink orders taken and told what the specials were. My wife decided to try the Philly burger special and I chose the pastrami burger. Our burgers were delivered in a timely fashion and looked amazing! We also couldn't help but notice as other plates were delivered as well - it all looked fabulous!!! Our burgers each came with fries and wow...the flavors were fabulous - everything was seasoned perfectly, the temperatures were just right and every bite was delicious!!!!!! The employees all were friendly and efficient. We asked our waitress (I wish we knew her name) how long they had been in this space and she said it had previously been owned by another person and that she and Michelle had recently purchased the restaurant - we told her how much we enjoyed our food and she was very pleased and sincere in hearing our feedback. She also told us that they planned to extend their hours in the near future. We will definitely be back and we would highly encourage others to stop in while in the area. They definitely seem to have a following of locals already. Overall it was a fabulous experience!! Wishing them lots of success - they have a great thing! read more

Still a great place to eat, but this restaurant ran out of hash browns and ran out of sausage so we had to wait until the home made sausage was ground. This restaurant was at the Fallon Livestock Yard out on Highway 50 a year ago and now that it is in town, it's more convenient and a lot more crowded. They will need to plan accordingly (i.e. need more hash browns and sausage) Good food, large portions. great place for breakfast read more

This is our favorite breakfast place, the food is always delicious and the service is great

This place served up the best breakfast I have eaten, literally, in years!!! I had the biscuits and gravy breakfast and my husband had ham and eggs. The biscuit was perfect, the gravy was absolutely delicious (no fake fate, perfect seasoning - did not have to use any salt or pepper) and my husband's ham steak was the best I have ever tasted (locally grown pork and beef products served here!!!)!!!! The service was very friendly and super fast! The price is RIGHT! We will make this stop every time we come through!! read more

The food taste so fresh and hearty. One of the best omelets I've ever had. Always make sure to stop here when driving through!

Great food, great and fast service, comfortable and homey atmosphere. Tessa, our server played various roles- hostess, waitress and cashier and she did all of it smoothly, friendly and efficiently. Coffee cup never ran dry. We will be coming back! read more

Not real happy with our meal yesterday. We go there a lot and it is always good but yesterday we were charged $3.50 to upgrade to onion rings. We got 6 rings and 4 very very small. Ordered club sandwich but it was more like a BLT. read more

We've been going to running iron for years. Back when we had two kids. Now we have four and Shelly welcomes all with huge open arms. The food is absolutely amazing, I always get the same thing "hot mess" That hot mess is everything but the kitchen sink. Fluffy soft biscuits topped with eggs your way, all the meats smeared with that creamy goodness they call country gravy with that shredded cheese thrown on top! You won't leave on an empty stomach, you will be so full you won't want to move! read more

Found on Google search and wanting some good basic food...ie not froo-froo which not sure Fallon has froo-froo anyway. The meat is local and so yum. If you vegetarian or vegan probably need to go elsewhere lol read more

Food was fantastic (other than the toast BARELY being toasted) and no coffee refills. With that being said, the staff did not seem too happy. The teenage girls working there had long faces the whole time. NONE of the staff cracked a smile. If it's a family business and they are just tired (understandable), maybe hire outsiders that's aren't so tired of working. read more

This is a hidden gem! A lot of people don't know about this place, because it's at the Fallon Livestock sale yard. Just off the hwy, the best omelettes but only can get Holliday sauce on Sundays, there chicken fried steak with Harvey is just like your grandma use to cook for you. Their service is awesome and your cup of joe won't run dry or cold! Orders are cooked right and fast, nothing is just thrown in the microwave. Everything is Fresh off the farm to the grill. When you walk in it's like you stepped back in time to a old small town diner and that's what this place is. You greeted and seated fast unless they are busy which in most of time. Haven't had the time for lunch there yet but it's coming. They are open 7 days a week 7am-2pm. read more

Stop here, no sign yet but now a favorite while traveling. Wow! What a find. Drive a motorhome and towing so need ample room to park. The restaurant is at a stockyard they have room for trucks and trailers and a huge parking lot. Now the food! Very good! My husband has the tritip burger with pablano peppers. Delicious! I had the lighter fair of chicken fingers. All very good with fries. It was recommended by another patron to eat anything tritip because all the beef and pork are locally sourced. read more

Great family breakfast Cafe! Great people and atmosphere! I will definitely come back here! read more

A nice locals style cafe/diner. The chef (also possibly owner) was very friendly and welcoming, and the waitress was kind and attentive. You could hear the chef's passion for her food and kitchen as she spoke to her staff about prep for the following day. We were started with a simple, yet fresh and tasty salad with house made dressing (which was excellent). My wife ordered the prime rib and was very happy with it. I tried a special of the day... pork tenderloin with brown sugar and bourbon! The chef personally delivered our dishes, and a few minutes later she brought me a bowl of the pork juice drippings in case the pork was too dry. This really kicked up the flavor and made it amazing! Our meal was finished with a slice each of lemon cheesecake, which was nice. We were very happy to stumble on this quaint but warm and welcoming place. Definitely recommend for out of towners passing through (and locals)! read more

A great little "locals" spot where everyone is treated very well. It's a bit outside of town, but well worth the drive. Don't let the outside appearance or the smell of livestock outside deter you, the food here is down-home wonderful. We went there for breakfast and loved it! read more

So we came here for some breakfast as one of our friends recommended it. It lools like a mom and pops kinda restaurant and it sure was. We walked in and immediately felt welcomed! we were seated and shown the menu and asked of we wanted coffee. We opted for the buffet which had a nice spread, the waitress told us that we could order off the menu and basically we could order whatever we wanted and the kitchen would make it. Some of my friends got eggs w bacon and one even opten for this huge pancake! One of the best things was the cinnamon butter which was absolutely amazing on the bread, pancakes, you name it. The coffee kept coming and the food was very flavorful, usually as the foodie that i am i would est several places from a buffet menu, after 2 plates my stomach was happy and i was ready to go explore the town! If you are intown and want to get some great breakfast; check this place out! read more

The Running Iron Cafe's food has the best food in Fallon! Everything tastes like Grandma made it, and the portions are very generous. I stopped by for Friday night dinner (to-go), as our little one was sick and could not go out with us. They allow you to call and reserve not only a table, but your steak also! I thought that was really cool, as their Prime Rib is not something you want to miss out on. Tonight we ordered the Surf and Turf (8oz flat iron steak with panko-fried shrimp) and the Chicken with onions and peppers (Pan seared chicken topped with mushrooms, onions, and peppers in a garlic butter sauce). Both meals came with a side salad, mashed potatoes, carrots, and a dessert (banana cake and lemon cake). Their desserts and some menu items change regularly. Both meals were packed with flavor. My husband was thrilled with the chicken, and I appreciate a good steak cooked the way I order it. Having bread and butter with the meal was great. Dinner is served only on Friday nights starting at 5pm, but they are open daily from 7am-2pm with the same steaks on the menu. Their Sunday brunch (buffet style) is seriously delicious. Fresh, small batches of homemade sausage, eggs to order, and more for $10.99 I think it was. You can not beat the quality, never mind the price. Make reservations, even the day of! The food comes put pretty quickly, considering most of it is cooked right when you order it (minus food you prep, like mashed potatoes and bread). The owners are real nice people, and are almost always present and cooking. They've been working hard to make it a nice spot for good food and people, so you should give them a try. The staff are very welcoming, and take care of you right away. Shelly and Cori always put a smile on my face when I come in. read more
