What a great surprise! We were on a long day's drive from Ketchum, ID to Las Vegas, NV and needed to take a lunch break in Ely, NV. We should have known this was a special place when we drove into parking area. The owners was outside with a broom snd dust pan cleaning up the parking area. When we went inside it was spotless as were the restrooms. It was very obvious that Hunter's Drive Thru is a place where the owner and the staff take great pride in their establishment. As for the food it was fantastic. I had an excellent Bacon Cheeseburger with wonderful French Fries. My wife had a Mushroom Burger and said it was great. If you are ever in Ely, NV do yourself a big favor and go to Hunter's Drive Thru. I guarantee you will not be sorry. They also serve breakfast. read more

Road tripping from California to Colorado needed a quick lunch stop. The drive thru at first looked a little sketchy so we drove thru and didn't order. After not finding a better place decided to turn around give them a try. We are glad we did. I had the chicken tenders and they were delicious. Hand breaded on the spot. The fries were some of the best fries I have had. Fresh cut potatoes with sea slay seasoning. We got it to go but the inside looked newly remodeled. Very clean. Comfortable seating. read more

Employees refused to take my order at 7:50 even though they were supposed to be open.

Gluten free eater here. I always worry of small towns and getting fast food. My husband ordered a hamburger with fries and I ordered a chicken sandwich without the bun. Food took a while, most places call that made to order, which our food must have been. The fries were hot, and my cheese on my chicken was really melty. So far not so bad. They put my shredded lunch meat chicken with melted provolone cheese on top in a chilli bowl, which was helpful to eat. We got fry sauce with the fries. But that was as far as the good review went. My chicken with no bun had a funny taste and the cheese had a off flavour. I love provolone and this seemed too strong a flavour and the chicken really bland. I felt my stomach would become upset so I stopped eating. The fries had large chunks of sea salt, which seemed like a nice addition but they were so salty. We couldn't finish them. My husbands burger was subpar and was plain and dry. There was fresh jalapeños which was a plus. He loves fresh jalapeños. I would not recommend this place to a gluten free eater. read more

We only had two breakfast bagels, but they were good. The bagels tasted pretty fresh. The ham, egg, and cheese bagel had a healthy helping of ham. The bacon, egg, and cheese bagel had good strips of bacon that were cooked just the way I like it. The whole restaurant is super clean and you can do drive through. We were the only customers so it was quiet, except for true crime show playing in the dining area. The food prep took longer than we thought it would and I felt like the food was a bit expensive for what we got. Otherwise I'm happy we stopped by. read more

Very slow with the service this morning but extremely clean and polite. In their defense they did have a help wanted sign. Food was good.

Stopped at Hunter's on a road trip through the Southwest. We wanted to eat locally and not your generic fast food. Hunter's was a huge hit! The staff was incredibly pleasant and kind and all our food was made to order. We were all incredibly impressed with everything from the service to the food. An excellent stop in Ely! read more

Clean facility, staff seems nice. The prices are way too high, especially for the quality of food. Breakfast Bagels were smashed down and oil infused, hamburger was very dry. 2 oil infused & smashed down breakfast bagels and one desert dry hamburger total= $22.36. read more

Excellent small town "drive in" food. We ate breakfast here several times, and lunch once. All of it was good. The workers were polite and did a great job on every visit. We even ran into the head boss on our last visit. Excellent service, great value, good food. Wish I could come back more often! read more

This is a new spot in town, open for only a few weeks when we pulled through. The Food was amazing and the staff was warm and welcoming to EVERYONE. In a small town that looked weary and worn, this little place stood out as clean and fresh. I wish we had tried them for dinner the evening before, but our breakfast was wonderful. read more

Stopped by for a quick snack and drinks. They have an amazing footlong Philly-Cheese Steak sandwich and the fries are great! Don't forget the fry sauce. read more

Second time here for lunch. Just as disappointing as the first visit. Limited menu, slow service and overpriced for what you get. Sandwiches are just meat thrown on a bun with very little flavor. The only cheese offered is white cheddar. French fries are decent. My wife and I ordered two roast beef sandwiches, two drinks and an order of fries. All for $23. A bit pricey when the sandwich is very plain. Since the owner comes from New Jersey and so do I, you would think that he knows what good food is. Unfortunately, he is providing just average food which is typical of a small town in Nevada. I was hoping that this restaurant would be better than that. read more

Hunter's - Disappointing sandwich. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ely, Nevada

They just opened yesterday, so I'm happy to be a pioneer. Everyone was super friendly. I ordered a cheese danish and an egg bagel breakfast sandwich. Both were wonderful! Very solid breakfast option passing through Ely. read more

Stopped here when another place was closed for a private event (not indicated on their website). The food at Hunter's was prepared to order; the young lady behind the counter was very focused on giving great service. Definitely glad we stopped there. read more

I normally leave most places with leftovers since I'm not a big eater, but I ate every last bit of food on my plate (or basket in this case) when I came here because it was that good. I had their half pound burger with an added egg, jalapeños, and cheese and I loved it. Amazing burgers, amazing fries, amazing sauce and amazing service. The fries were free too. Just eat here. You won't regret it. read more

Simple, unsatisfying, unorganized food. Not much effort on the cooks part. Breakfast came out at a different time than the BLT , which was about 5 minutes before the French fries were done. Empty restaurant...we can see why. The coffee was delish. The restaurant was very clean. 2 stars only! read more

Slooooooooooooooow service. Have been eating there once a week or so, but after a 25 minute wait in the drive thru today...adios to Hunter's. read more

Hunter's is a terrific spot with fresh made local food. I have had the chicken sandwich twice now and it is absolutely amazing. It's simple, but fresh cut and perfect shredded chicken for lunch. Hunter's also has a variety of coffee selections hot or cold. So far I have had the iced mocha and it is very very good. This is my go to lunch for a great fresh meal and fresh coffee to get me through the day. Not to mention they serve ice cream cones. read more

Cute little cafe. The breakfast bagels are huge with a generous amount of ham. It must have been busy on Memorial Day weekend as the server said they only had 1 egg left for a breakfast sandwich. It was tasty and quick. read more

Hunter's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ely, Nevada

Absolutely superb!!! 1) The food was delicious and all home cooked. The fries were made fresh, the beef patties on the hamburger were thick and juicy, even the fry sauce is made fresh every day! 2) Don't let the outside appearance deter you, the interior is cozy and perfectly decorated. I enjoyed the vibe and atmosphere. They also have some nice sofas and WiFi! 3) The owner of the joint also made a point of coming over to see how the food was and he was so friendly, remembering my group the next time we came in. I will be more than happy to give this place my business every time o am in Ely. read more

Delicious breakfast bagel and the coffee was great too. This place is clean, cute, and has lots of potential! It's a fresh bagel with the crispest bacon I've ever had (like my mom makes), a fried egg, and a nice slice of melts cheese. Plus they open at 3:30am?! Give this place a try! read more

Closed at 10:30 am although it is supposedly open every day. That was a bit disappointing. Unfortunately Yelp makes me give a star review even though we didn't get to try it. However I do consider it somewhat poor service to be randomly closed with no sign up for explanation or anything. read more

Food was a little pricey but good. Restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. Excellent fries and chicken fingers. Hamburgers were a little small for the price but excellent. read more

Honestly--the burgers and the sandwiches are okay (my BLT didn't even have mayo). However. If. You. Are. A. Fry. Connoisseur. Then you must come sample these if you are passing by. They are EXCELLENT. Crispy, salty (sprinkled with REAL SEA SALT), and oily but not too greasy. Perfect. Worth a drive. read more

We can here for dinner one night after work, we ordered the burger. I had ham and mushrooms added to mine. Very good burger with great bun. It was 2/3 of a pound or so. I did have a few concerns. First was the price was a bit high, I ordered the ham and mushrooms as extra, as well as fries. They put a small handful of fries in the small basket with my burger. The total was 16 dollars for a hamburger. The fries were hand-cut and very good, however very small portion. I could see paying 11-12 dollars for the same burger at most higher end burger places. Other than high cost and small fries portion it was excellent, you probably won't find a better burger in town. read more

Great burger. Little crispy beef bits hanging on to a perfectly cooked .5 lb. Patty. I added a fried egg. And the fries...awesome spiced fruced. Extra cruncy. read more

Wings, sliders, sandwiches: you can't go wrong here! Not only was the food delicious and fresh, the restaurant, kitchen and outside area was immaculate. Definitely recommend! read more

We were so pleasantly surprised at how kind the gentleman was when we drove up right after the restaurant closed today. He was so apologetic and offered to give us ice cream cones if we drove around to the pick up window. The funny thing about it is we were stopping there to get some coffee for my husband and I and ice cream cones for the kiddos. We decided we are for sure going back tomorrow to eat lunch because of how nice that was! read more

My husband and I stayed next door at the Rustic Inn Motel. Hunter's Drive Thru was next door so we walked over for breakfast before we headed to Great Basin. The breakfast bagel sandwiches were fantastic. Generous portions of bacon and ham were on our sandwiches. My husband said the bacon was cooked perfectly. Also the coffee was fantastic. We enjoyed our conversation with Tony. We will definitely stop again if we find ourselves in Ely. read more

My family and I were visiting from out of town and were delighted to find this gem! Hunter's is very reasonably priced, with great quality food. We will definitely be coming back! As with any new restaurant, lots of changes occur within the first few years as you are finding out what works and what doesn't. I say definitely give this place a chance, and be constructive in your opinions so we can help this wonderful new place grow to it's utmost potential! read more

Great new sit down place in Ely, NV with a drive through option. Delicious breakfast and lunch and dinner. Not much in Ely, but this place has great food and great customer service. The dining area has lots of windows so you can enjoy the views of Ely. Its in the older part of Ely and was super close to our motel. We ate here twice. I highly recommend it. read more

You couldn't find better customer service in this town, such great staff. We were just passing through and loved this place. The food was way above what you'd expect for a small drive through and it was so clean! The menu is limited but what they do have is high quality and handmade. TRY IT!! read more

Prices are high, but coffee is perfect and food tasted great! Nice find as passing through town.

Loved this place!!! I can't stop thinking about the bacon, egg and cheese bagel I had for breakfast today. It was so good! My son had one, too and it was so good that he insisted we go back for lunch just so he could try the ham, egg and cheese bagel. I asked him which one was better and he said it was a toss up. He said the ham seemed to compliment the egg better, but the bacon was really, really good so he enjoyed them both, but in different ways. We also had the donut holes, biscuits and gravy, cheeseburger, chili, French fries, shakes, iced coffee and chicken strips. Everything was delicious. Everything here is made fresh so it takes a little longer, but it's so worth the wait. If you're in Ely or just passing through, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won't be disappointed! I promise! read more

I'm surprised this has 4. 5 Stars, we just stopped at 10: 50 and the only thing available on the menu is basically the bagel sandwich. The only Danish they had cherry. none of the other 12 samples that they showed were available - they were only on display. Even though the menu says they have biscuits and gravy they don't. and the worst thing for sure was the server who was one of the rudest people I've ever had serving me before. He couldn't care less that we were there, never gave us any assistance even though we were looking for items, wouldn't offer anything - when I would ask for more water he basically glared at me. I realize it's about the only choice in this town on this morning but I'm not sure it's even worth it. the other reason why this is two stars rather than one is that the bagel sandwich was a decent. read more

The burgers are on the spendy side. My number one complaint was that the burger was *super* greasy. It required a wad of napkins to absorb all the grease (not very appetizing). There was a oily sheen left on the table after consuming it. Sick. Maybe their other items here are better. read more

We stopped here on our way from Vegas to Home in Washington. I had a bacon and egg breakfast bagel and my husband had a burger. Both were tasty although he said his burger was a bit salty. The bagel was good but not awesome as others have said. But the consensus that it's expensive is correct. $18 for our meal and one Pepsi and our sandwiches didn't even include fries! And that for a walk up to the counter to order type restaurant. The service was adequate although we waited about 10 minutes to get our order. However, our sandwiches were piping hot so we knew they were cooked to order. read more

Biscuits and gravy are excellent. The gentleman that greeted us and served us was super friendly. Best coffee I've had in ely as well.

What a treat to find Hunter's on my latest trip through Ely! I didn't use the drive-thru, but the in-store dining was as bright, cheerful, and fresh as the staff. My breakfast parfait of yogurt, fruit, and granola was delicious (and came in two sizes so I could get just what I needed), as was the tasty sandwich I picked up for later lunch on the road. They don't have a broad menu, but I will definitely be back to sample more on my next rip through town! read more

Best coffee, hamburgers, and sandwiches in White Pine County. Wonderful sauce, crispy fries, and everything is always fresh and hot.
