My husband and I stopped in JR's bar and grill after a long day on the road. It was recommended by the motel we stayed at.I can honestly say I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The prices were quite high so we expected the food would be excellent. My husband ordered the t-bone steak dinner. His salad was a small plate of romaine lettuce with 2 cherry tomatoes.Then when the food finally came the steak was raw. He had ordered medium well, not to pink in the middle.He sent it back and after another long period of time, it was brought back almost exactly the same.It seemed like the chef had put it on the grill and turned it over and sent it back.The service wasn't much better.We had to wait almost 10 minutes before our waitress even came to our table to get our order, and the place was nearly empty. Very Disappointed. . read more

Almost closing time and we were greeted with a smile and a great pizzas. If your in Elko and want pizza....Pizza Barn is where you need to be. read more

JR's Bar & Grill - American Near Me - Elko, Nevada

Mustang burger is very good, I recommend the tobasco chips and the onion rings too. The place is pretty smoky so I took my food to go.

Big portions of decent food. I had the chimichanga, which was huge and came with rice and beans on the side. The wait service was not good at all however. read more

Ordered a Buffalo burger they were out. Settled for a Mustang burger instead. It came out in less than a minute. How do you cook my burger and bacon in less than a minute? Reminded me of chow hall in the military. Bacon left over from breakfast and the burger was left over from lunch. Place was empty at 5pm. Should have been a warning sign. Glad I'm just passing through. read more

For a spot in the middle of nowhere it's fine but really nothing to write home about. Service was decent and food about the same. It's a solid 3 star. Smokey casino attached if you want to throw a few bucks in. Along I-80 there are not a lot of great options so this place is safe. Nice big parking lot and some grass for us to take the dog to. read more

Great food, friendly staff, what a great find in Elko, NV! The Mustang Burger is a must try! Paired it with their sweet potato fries or the Tabasco chips. read more

Excellent mid day waiter and breakfast, but evening staff was less so. We ordered pizza and pasta for dinner. Bland pasta and very over cooked pizza. I would only recommend for breakfast. read more

Enjoyed our dinner here. T-bone was cooked perfect as well as the Buffalo Burger. Aimee was a friendly server who did an exceptional job!

Not impressed. The dining room was way too close to the casino floor so everything smelt and felt like old cigarette. Our waitress was really trying hard, but they were understaffed and she wrote our orders on her hand *awkward*. The club sandwiches were really good, but those are hard to screw up if your ingredients are remotely fresh. I ordered the "lighter fare grilled chicken". The chicken was nicely done and the soup (chicken tortilla) was delishiously overflowing with cheese, BUT the "chef veggie" side was TERRIBLE. Old, mush carrots that were seasoned like sweet potatoes. They were so bad that my toddler wouldn't even eat them and she loves sweet mushy snacks. I literally picked up the little bowl of carrots, walked over to the open kitchen and told the chefs that they obviously knew how to cook chicken, so why were they so lazy with the veg? We are just passing through, but I don't ever want to go back. read more

Food is good, service is slow and always a slow and it takes a long time to pay for your food. Good casino food and deals. But the service is below average, especially considering how many people work here. read more

Service was bad, stood at the hostess stand way to long on a Sunday evening with a half empty restaurant. Are young lady came over got me my beverage and told me my server would be right over. That was my second long wait. I ordered a ribeye with the corn chowder corn chowder was cold. Probably alright hot. The Ribeye was tiny and brought out raw. I summoned a waitress who came over and as I was talking to her my waiter came by she said to him the steak is raw. Five minutes later the same steak came back to my plate completely ruined by having been thrown on the grill again. They advertise their ribeye as being aged 28 days like it some special piece of meat. Any place that thinks it's okay to throw their top of the line steak back on the grill after it's been off for 5 minutes has no clue how to cook food. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. read more

Great food and service ... we had a family dinner and they treated us very well

The burgers are great! It's like eating a ground steak. Way too much for one person. The chicken fajita salad with avocado dressing, was a little less than I expected. It didn't have the flavor it should have, just kind of bland. Great service and friendly servers. read more

Ordered the ribs, told later they were out - "the chefs over cooked their whole supply earlier" I was told. Went w/ the 10oz sirloin instead. It was okay (tho I make a famous pepper steak so I may be a bit bias). The service was great, I was checked up on frequently but I didn't feel smothered either. read more

Are you kidding me. I just dined at JR's and had one of the worse meals of my life. I ordered a top sirloin which was more like a piece of cardboard. I would have done better to eat a quarter pounder at Mc Donalds. I have never had this bad of an experience at any restaurant I have ate at in my life. Save your money and eat somewhere else. BTW - I shared my experience with the cashier and she did not seem at all concerned. (It must be the norm) read more

I must have been there on an off night. Not good. Asked for a glass of sauvignon blanc. The waitress was underage and didn't know the difference between sauvignon blanc and cabernet sauvignon. Had another waitress serve me a red wine and even she didn't seem to understand the difference between a red and a white wine. When someone else stepped in to help, I was served what tasted like a riesling.. in a juice glass. They were out of wine glasses. One final try netted me the wine desired... still in a juice glass. The food was ok at best, not what was pictured at all nor what was touted as the best food in town. Hate to think what the other places were like. I would not go again. read more

Only ate there for breakfast but it was really good. Service was great and it is a nice quiet atmosphere. Could smell cigarette smoke from the casino but I expected that since it is in the casino. read more

Having eaten here many times in the years I have lived in the area, sadly I have come to the decision that I will not be dining here again. In the past the food and service has been excellent. However in the last three months the food is deplorable at best. Now I do realize that it is casino food. But it used to be the only casino in Elko I would dine at. I don't know if they are under new management or what has created the down slide. But the food was terrible the last 3 times. Eggs, burnt on the outside, raw in the middle. Going cheap on bacon. Serving a crispy chicken salad with burnt chicken?? The servers are not the issue here, this is a kitchen / management issue. Will not be dining here again, the food has become just awful. read more

Ok so I come into JR's here in elko pretty regularly but last night and again today the food was not fully cooked and the service sucks ass. Sorry to management but you have lost my business. read more

Fantastic dining experience at JR'S. My husband and I enjoyed the best steak of our life. The food and service was incredible. I would recommend JR'S to my friends and family. read more

Really terrible. Steak was burned (ordered medium). Pizza was raw and doughy. They tried replacing the raw pizza but the 2nd one was raw too. The soup was cold. The house salad was straight out of a bag. The shrimp was served in a terrible mushroom and tomato dish that was neither hot or cold. The server tried to fix things but the meal was terrible. The homeless drunk in the bathroom didn't improve the experience. read more

Went for the Tuesday special T-bone steak, potato, veggie and cup of soup or salad for 12.99. My steak was not a T- bone and was full of fat and grissel the potato was cold and we were told the vegetable was gonna be mixed vegetable and it was cold hard cauliflower. I went to the manager who was very nice and removed my meal from the check after the waitress would only offer me a complimentary desert. Gave this place a two only because my wife's meal was ok. I would not recommend as it did not make the top 20 restaurants, in Elko on YELP. read more

I had fond memories of this restaurant in the past. Upon this visit I had a vastly different experience. I was seated with no menu. After several minutes I finally received one. I ordered the prime rib. It was served with no horseradish as specified on the menu. My waiter disappeared. I asked two different staff to find him, explaining my problem. They both professed how busy they were. After ten minutes my waiter appeared with my horseradish for use on my cold $18 prime rib. When trying to pay at the counter I, along with another customer was studiously ignored. The other customer and I joked about the counter staff's well practiced indifference. Too bad, at one time a good place. Not anymore. I should note the waitperson in the bar did a good job. read more

The food there is mediocre. The tobasco chips are the main thing that makes me come back. Definitely a huge seller for me. You can watch the cooks from any seat which is okay and all. Until you catch them talking and staring right at you. Pretty rude honestly. read more

The food is vile. I ordered the worst chicken parm ive ever tasted, the breading was crunchy and sharp and just a real gum-ripper and there was mexican cheese on the top and the "asiago bread" tasted like a piece of vanilla cake with cheese on top. I ordered a side of veggies which was advertised by the picture as broccoli and it was corn floating in oil. also the manager, a blonde short overweight older woman was a complete bitch while asking to see ID for a beer that was already drank that was bought at their bar using their coupon and she ignored every other young person drinking and just targeted us for some unknown reason. anyways. their food was pretty bad and I should have been paid by them to eat it. the plate of parm was pretty though. read more

Okay can I just say how shocked I was to find pizza on the menu that was great ! Waiter was super attentive , cozy booths with privacy . Desserts upon checkout was great ! Love this place good food great service ! read more

After a long day of driving in from Yellowstone we were starved. We started with an order of the Sriracha chips. They were darn good and something I've not before or since. And sadly I didn't see them on the menu when I googled it just now. I ordered them based on other reviews and the servers recommendation. I had the Steak and Scampi. It was very good. Although I had to send my steak back; I ordered Med-Rare and it cam as rare, it was very flavorful and cooked to expectations (the 2nd time). The girls spit an order of prime rib which was also very good. I had to sample it too. Our server was very friendly and helpful. The place was quite busy for an arrival around 5pm ish but it took only about 5 minutes before we were seated. I will return here in the future if ever in the area or passing thru. Prices are midrange and you will get what you pay for. Portion size is excellent in comparison to other similar style dining establishments I've been to previously. read more

This place had a fairly high score so we thought we'd give it a try. Huge disappointment. Our chowder came out in a lump. It looked like a scoop of mac & cheese. You could tell it was cold by looking at it. Warm soup is flat all the way across. Fries were cold also. Menu said my Thai wrap had bean sprouts. They were actually alphalfa sprouts. Waitress always set the drinks across the table so we had to reach for them. Didn't refill our tea or soft drinks. We asked for "no onions" on burger but got them anyway. Wi Fi is awful. I drove across the street to McDonalds and used theirs while my partner waited for our food. I used internet and was back before he even was able to get logged on. On the plus side. Their cheese spread they serve with the dinner roll is awsome read more

I do NOT recommend this restaurant. First, they have a 'specials' menu out front, but the cashier could not tell me the price of one of the items. Then, they were out of one of the other specials (it was 5:30 pm!). Next, the two servings of clam chowder we ordered were room temperature. How does that happen? Doesn't someone notice that it's not steaming? Does anyone taste it? We sent it back and it came back warmer, but not tasty. Then, my 'seafood fettuccine' came, and it was warm, not hot, and the cream sauce was very thin and without much taste. There were mushrooms, but they were barely cooked (raw tasting), and the fettuccine was described as containing shrimp and scallops. There were no scallops! I called the waitress over, and sent her to ask the cook about it, and I could hear him say that they were out of scallops....was he going to tell anyone?? I really wanted to like it because I was very hungry, but it was really unacceptable. I felt so sorry for the waitress who was so embarrassed by the cook staff. She did not charge for any of the food, but I definitely would never go there again. read more

Stayed at the hotel was absolutely great. Pool was so clean. The staff in the restaurant was great very inviting environment. The Food was great!! Cant complain about anything! read more

This is my go to place for quick GREAT service and great food. When you walk in to J R's the cook communicate, communicate and communiate. And it's such a relief. I love their pizzas! There burgers ! Because they care about their food and their service. It's our family restraunt. I don't like the ribs but the burgers and salads are cared for for our taste buds and our stomachs. Never had I ever had a bad time there. Never read more

The corn chowder was great, but the cocktails were weak, the atmosphere was outdated, and service was apathetic. The whole place was super smoky and didn't smell very nice. No non-smoking section in the lounge. :( I would skip it. read more

I went with the top sirloin dinner. Was very surprised how well it was cooked and tasted great for a cut I don't usually like. Came with mashed potatoes that were melt in your mouth buttery and still had a good amount of lumps and skins to let you know it didn't come from a box. A little disappointed with the overcooked corn and side salad. Would go back again if I ever found myself in Elko. read more

No silverware provided to us. 1 menu for 2 people. Ordered garlic bread appetizer which was soggy and the marinara sauce was cold prego. The steak sandwich was much different than the picture and was a piece of overcooked meat on a bun. The fries were like potatoes cut in thirds and fried. On the plus side, Arturo was a baller. read more

Never ever had a bad meal there for the last 15 years ,until I took my wife for her Bday dinner tonight I Ordered the cowboy burger and my daughter ordered simple cheese burger it was laced with a salt or substance that I can still taste an hour after eating it. Same for a simple chili burger we could not even finish we recommend any one too keep going, all though service was good the cook or (CHEIF) obviously does not try what he cooks, just a major let down. read more

Food is awesome,s service was awesome. Nice clean environment . Would definitely eat there again.

Love the pizza here and the stawberry lemonade. Only wish it wasn't smokey from the casino but the food is well worth it.

carrot cake and chocolate cake are definitely the best in town. but i just hate how they make their salads they are not good... soups, sandwiched and pasta are great read more
