We have fallen for The Running Iron! The service is outstanding and the food is great. Even with the current restaurant restrictions the wonderful staff is working with smiles on their faces and great attitudes. If you are in Fallon, please give them a try. read more

Love this quiet little spot with the best service & food! Servings so big my husband has to take some home. Lol.

Absolutely delicious! French toast is amazing!!! My husband had the Buckaroo omelette. It was full of tri tip and was super tasty.

Went to running iron last night for the first time for their dinner specials. I called in my order and the waitress was very rude, almost rushed while taking my order. Didn't take my name or number. Just said "it'll be ready in 20 minutes" and hung up. I went to pick up my food after 20 minutes, and it wasn't even ready. They forgot the avocado in my husbands burger and the fish I had was frozen not handmade like they claimed. The problem is every time I've gone here, it's good food but very very TERRIBLE service. They always forget about my table (drinks, sauces, utensils..) and always seem to tend to the "locals" first and that's discouraging. It's good food, but I don't think I'll be going back because of the service. read more

I've only been here once but the Tri-Tip sandwich was good. I thought it was a little bit over priced for the size of it but it had great flavor. Also, I would like to suggest a name change. My wife saw the "Wild Horse Cafe" on the bank statement and just about lost her S#!÷. People from Northern Nevada should know what I'm talking about. Lol read more

My husband and I have gone to the Running Iron only 3 times so far and will continue to be visiting. Shelly and Ashley have the most delicious food I've eaten in a very long while. I've had the Chicken Fried Steak (breakfast),Rib Eye Steak, and the Wild Mushroom Stuffed Ravioli for dinner.....they were all AWESOME!!!! Thursday thru Saturday they serve dinner which includes dessert.....Wonderful Heavenly Homemade dessert! Each one I've had....Amazing! You will be glad you went to and ate at the Running Iron and you'll be telling all your friends! read more

I THOUGHT that the Prime rib (suggested by a CVS employee) would be a great deal since the $20 meal included dessert and salad but while the salad was fresh and good it was but a handful, if that...and the dessert was a really bad obviously previously frozen chocolate cake, 2" square (as if this is some church picnic ) and in truth, how can dessert really be bad? The cobbler was gritty w oatmeal, looked like mush...SO ALL of that would have been fine IF the Prime rib (both queen and king cut) wasn't 1/3 FAT! I get it that you don't want to cut off my fat but buy a better piece of meat because this was DRY. HOW does prime rib go dry if smoking correctly and with al that fat? It TASTED AMAZING though, and that's the one star i gave this. I may try them again ...scared to try the prime rib unless i see it ahead of time. I heard omelets are amazing., we'll see. read more

Tri tip sandwich was delicious as always, recently discovered the tri tip wrap and honestly it might be a tie between the two for my favorite. Servers were super sweet and friendly. I have no problem making the 25 minute drive just to eat here. worth it! read more

A wonderful, hidden gem! Hubby and I split the double chicken fried steak breakfast and I heard angels singing with that first bite. Everything appeared to be cooked from scratch, service was quick and efficient and we couldn't have asked for a better country style homemade breakfast. read more

Visiting my husband who was stationed in NAS Fallon. What a great find in Fallon! We walked for a few minutes to a closed restaurant. We got here 15mins before opening, but right when we got there a server came to greet us and said they're opening in a few minutes. 30 mins in and this place is packed already. Not to mention the yummiest and tastiest breakfast spread they offer during Sunday Brunch Buffet. Their chicken fried steak is a blessing from heaven!! The sausage is home made and is so flavorful. I was debating if i should do this review later. But i want to do it even before i leave this restaurant. That's how good the food and their service is exceptional. We'll definitely go back if we're passing through. read more

We passed through from Utah to the Coast of California and back. We decided on Fallon for an over night stop and came into Wild Horse Cafe in the morning. This was the best meal we had eaten in the entire journey. Highly recommend anything on the menu with tri tip. I had the tri tip hash. Best breakfast I've ever eaten at a diner. Come here, you will not regret it. read more

Best place in or around Fallon. I come here often and it never disappoints. Food it great and the staff is lovely. Really a treat for with great food. read more

Yummy. I get to Fallon a couple times a month and there are some hidden gems. This one is exceptional. Tri-tip with anything from the menu won't disappoint. read more

I've been here a few times and although it's not a very pronounced location, the food and service has always been good. The place is clean, and staff are usually on top of things and making sure everything is satisfactory. Typically I'll call food ahead and it's hot and ready by the time we get there. Never had any issues and I have been a happy repeat customer! read more

What an awesome place! Came here with my grandson and we were not disappointed. Everything was perfect! Scrambled eggs, hashbrowns and chocolate milk for my grandson and French toast, bacon and coffee for me. Good home cookin'. I'm looking at other people eating and no one is saying a word. Too busy eating. Very homey feeling. Waitress was great too. Definitely a favorite local spot to eat. We'll be here for awhile working at the base, so this will be one of our spots that will be visited again. I was so hungry, I forgot to take a picture! Maybe next time. read more

I couldn't be happier! I was a bit disappointed that they only had a breakfast buffet with pancakes as fresh pancakes were what I was coming in for BUT after eating the Traditional Eggs Benedict I'm sure as heck happy they did. With any good Eggs Benedict the oozing egg yolks and tasty hollandaise are the star of the show but are extremely hard to master. In my experience, it's a gamble to order such a complex dish as it's very hard to get right and I usually end up with OVER cooked eggs, which ruins the dish. I AM HAPPY TO SAY my gamble paid off here. Best EGGS BENEDICT I'VE EVER HAD. I NEVER clean my plate... read more

Wow! This is my 2nd time coming to Fallon...on the first trip, I found this GREAT breakfast place called Courtyard Cafe, so naturally on my 2 me trip, I wanted to ensure it was the first breakfast place I ate at....well, I didn't know they were closed on Sunday's and I really wanted some good breakfast food....a quick search on Yelp and I found The Running Iron Cafe...I don't recall seeing this on my first trip, so I thought I would give it a try--it's a bit outside of town, but thought 7 miles wasn't too far. So glad I gave it a try!! The daily special and the sweet cream pancakes were AMAZING! For true breakfast connoisseurs, you will appreciate this place! read more

Amazing food and such heartwarming staff. You always feel welcome when dining here and the food is excellent! My family always eats here when they come to visit! Love it, love it! Can't go wrong with the Country Benedict or Tri Tip! read more

This was my first time coming here. I am very impressed. I had originally called in to see if they had a menu I could look at, unfortunately they didn't but the waitress was nice enough to come up with a few suggestions. We narrowed it down and decided to go with the chicken wrap. Since they would be closing soon we went ahead and ordered them for pick up. The waitress was super friendly on the phone. When we showed up we actually had a little more time than we had anticipated and the food was already ready! We decided to go ahead and stay and eat in. I am glad we did. Our waitress was so friendly and had exceptional customer service skills. I highly recommend the chicken wrap it was delicious. It was nice to find a new place in Fallon with delicious food and exceptional service. read more

I have been wanting to try this place out for a while, they're pretty good about promoting themselves on social media. We moved to the area not long ago and I've been making my way through all the local shops and restaurants. The Running Iron Cafe was very good. I had the chorizo scramble with hash browns and an apple juice. Chorizo was homemade in house so that was cool. Very large portions and prices are great. My total was $11. I'll probably come back with my family and see what they think. Very small town, homey feel. read more

Wonderful experience! We've been In Fallon for an off road race all weekend and have tried out 4 different breakfast joints during our stay. Running iron was by far the best! Our team agreed that we wished we had found it before our last day so we could have come back. Needless to say, as a server myself I know parties of 8 can be a bit overwhelming but our server (Mama Shelly/ mamacielly) did wonderful despite being new to the program. The food was fantastic, I'm a huge pain for most cooks and order egg whites which some restaurants won't make for me and the Running Iron Cafe hit them out of the park. I also enjoyed the chicken fried steak with home fries which were just like my mama makes them. Gravy was superb, my fiancé had the Buckaroo Omelette with tri-tip and he loved it. Another member of our party had the chuck wagon mini breakfast burrito and couldn't even finish it all. Again, fantastic. Other items that were enjoyed were the tri-tip Benedict and the meat lovers omelette. Way to go Running Iron- if we ever find our selves in Fallon again we will be back! read more

Yaaaaaasssss visit hereeee. So good. Homestyle southern homey cooking. Nice staff. Good food. Not expensive. read more

The place is different in a good way. It is located in an office building that's in the middle of nowhere and everyone is so friendly. The staff was very nice and the food is amazing. I had the tri tip hash and potatoes and it was the best hash I've ever had. The seasoning is so amazing and the flavor is just perfect. I'll definitely be back. read more

Was there driving through to the Potato Bowl in Idaho. My nephew was playing. We spent the night in Fallon and was looking for a breakfast place. I really wanted to like this place, because Yelp had 5 stars on it. The menu had something that really interested me in. Trip-Tip Benedict. Apparently they moved from one location to another, or at least it is what we were told. We found the place to be Very cold and I mean cold as in no heat. It didn't even look like a cafe. It looked like a deli being converted. You get up and get your own drinks from the glass coolers. Odd. Well time to order, they didn't have the Tri-Tip Benedict that I saw on Yelp and was disappointed. I wanted to order the Biscuits and Gravy Benedict (Country Benedict) but they were out of biscuits. Just very disappointed. Some other points: You could hear the cooks discussing administrative stuff. Should be done in the back Time to order and there was only 1 other table, was way too long. All in all the food was good, but not 5 stars. They have the capabilities, but they should make sure their cafe is DONE as in all construction prior to opening up and serving customers. I might return IF we are headed in that direction. read more

What a pleasant experience! We were passing through Fallon on our way from Great Basin to CA and stumbled across this gem of a breakfast joint. The women behind the counter were so nice and fun to talk to, and most importantly, the food was incredible. The veggie omelette and country eggs Benedict were so good. Top notch. When we return to NV we'll be sure to stop by. read more

We have been meaning to try this place for a while and finally got there on Saturday morning. I had the Chorizo Scramble and my husband had the Tri-Tip Benedict. Both meals were wonderful! We will definitely be back soon. read more

Cori rocked it again today. Lunch special Smoked Tri tip with Fries with bbq sauce. Sauce is perfect with the tri tip. Huge portion as always. All of their meats are wonderful with perfect amount of smoke and wonderfully tender. Great menu with awesome food for breakfast and lunch. A must goto place in Fallon. They only do dinner on Friday with Smoked Prime Rib, and steaks. Reservations Highly recommended. read more

Wonderful service, very attentive waitress and staff. But food is different. Never seen hollandaise that was almost brown in color . Strange flavors in the Tri tip Benedict. Eggs almost raw Disappointed as was supposed too be my keto treat breakfast out. I had to smother it with ranch dressing, which thankfully was really yummy. read more

Wild Horse Cafe - Tri Tip Benedict. Eggs were almost raw and hollandaise (really?) was brown thin and very strange. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fallon, Nevada

Absolutely amazing place. Quite, quick, and quality. Everything we hoped for in a nice cafe. Came from Utah, and they were superb!!!!

We were visiting friends for the weekend and stopped in here for breakfast one morning and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and deliciousness of the food. Restaurant has recently changed locations and was still settling in but everything was delicious and fresh. And the staff was very friendly. read more

Just because you change all your buns to garlic bread doesn't mean you should be able to charge 150% what everyone else does. Pretty bad atmosphere, a lot like I would imagine an inner city soup kitchen to be. Cramped and dirty... weird considering how open and clean most of Fallon is. read more

Just driving through and looked up breakfast spots in Fallon. Saw good reviews on this place and decided to check it out. Friendly faces and it was busy but we were able to sit right down and immediately get service. Food was amazing! Lots of flavor. We will be back next time we're passing by read more

Off beaten path but great service and ambience. Fun menu with smoked meats. Enjoyed it.

This used to be the best place in town. Had dinner a few times when they were at the livestock auction. Always great friendly. The last two times have been train wrecks. I'm sorry, but will never go again! read more

I come to Fallon often to visit my daughter and her family, but I look forward to breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe almost as much! I ALWAYS order the chicken fried steak and eggs because it's the best I've ever had, but the rest of my family says that everything else is great, too. From the kitchen to the servers, this is the best restaurant in town. It's a MUST! The western ambiance is the cherry on top. I just can't say enough about the food and the staff at this restaurant! read more

One of my favorite places to come to in Fallon. The Tri-tip is delicious. The breakfast burrito is definitely my favorite in Fallon. Staff is also extremely friendly. read more

My husband and I decided to stop at the Running Iron Cafe for the first time. We had just left Banner Hospital where he had to have tests and had to have nothing by mouth, so he was hungry. He ordered 2 pankakes with crispy bacon, and I had the French toast which was wonderful. When his pancakes were brought to the table, they were so big, completely hanging over the plate. He needed an extra plate which we never got a chance ask for to transfer a pancake to. As he lifted these large cakes I could see that the bottom of the cake was burnt. These would be great to play frisbee with if they weren't so heavy. The young lady never came back to the table to see if everything was ok. The pankakes had set there for a good 10-15 minutes till she came back and asked if we needed anything. I told her, no just give us the check. There was no butter for the cakes even if he did eat them , which he didn't. She looked at the underside of the cake and looked amazed to see how dark they were . She insisted on making some more., and I asked if they could be a bit smaller. When they were came, we had her box them up. Now my husband is very hungry. We leave and go to JD Slingers so he could have a decent lunch by then. Was hoping to give a good review of this restaurant, but not this time. I'de like to think this was just an off day for the cook and waitress,let's hope so. read more

Passing through town and found this gem of a cafe. Very friendly and food was amazing. Try the tri-tip salad you won't be disappointed.

You never really know what to expect when you go to a new, unknown restaurant. But their Facebook pictures were enticing enough that we decided to give it a whirl. No regrets. At all. And will be back. Every single item on the menu sounds amazing. I got the Chuck wagon Breakfast Burrito, my girlfriend got the Chorizo and egg special. Have to make clear, country gravy is pretty much one of my favorite things to eat so when it's poorly made everything is ruined. But their version (sausage country gravy) is to die for. Smother a perfectly made egg burrito with ham, sausage, bacon and potatoes in that stuff all with a pleasant service experience all with perfrctly reasonable (even cheap) pricing and you earn yourself a 5 star rating. Glad I went, will be back again soon. read more
