I've eaten hamburgers all over the US and the World and the Mushroom and Swiss I had at the Smash n Grab was the BIGGEST and BEST burger I ever had! Hand made and bigger than the huge bun it was on! The two POUNDS of FRESH hand cut fries were perfectly cooked and overflowing the take out container with my hamburger. My wife ordered the Kid's Meal of Chicken Tenders and in addition to two POUNDS of fries got four huge tenders that could have easily fed several kids! A great place to eat!

We stopped at this cute little coffee shop while on vacation in Ely. The iced Chai tea was…read morewonderful and I was able to get an unusual flavor added- cupcake! It made it sweet but not too sweet. The coffee was just strong enough with being bitter. The best part was the atmosphere. Cute, with little green cafe chairs and soft sofas. You can tell they often have families come in because the bathroom had a little toilet seat you could add in the regular toilet for small people. A nice little touch that many places don't think of. I will definitely come back several times on my teip

I would give zero stars if I could. The customer service here was extremely rude and…read moreunprofessional. There were three employees working, and the way I was treated was unacceptable. My son simply wanted a kids sandwich with nothing on it -- just bread. I clearly stated that I was still paying full price for the kids sandwich. Instead of handling the situation respectfully, one employee raised her voice at me and said, "There better be something on that bread." I calmly explained again that I was purchasing the sandwich regardless of what was on it. She then continued speaking loudly and said she would "allow it this time" but not again in the future. As a paying customer, I should not have been spoken to in such a disrespectful and confrontational manner. The entire interaction made me feel uncomfortable and harassed. Customer service and professionalism clearly need improvement at this location. I will be filing a complaint because no customer should be treated this way. My son started crying saying. "So I don't get any bread?" Terrible service .

We ordered a "meal" which comes with chips and a soda, and you use the soda machine from the other side of the gas station. Minus one star for the soda machine tasting bad.

Seated quickly. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana dinner with Salad…read more The atmosphere is open and inviting. The Salad was delicious and received quickly. The main dish was taking quite a while (at the 45 minute) mark I asked the waitress "if I ordered the wrong item?" The server went to the kitchen that reported they thought they were sold out but find one more chicken breast. It was worth the wait! Fantastic and huge. One of the best versions of that dish I've had in years. No consideration from management for the wait... I wanted to give a 5th star...

Our non-water beverage was Athletic NA IPA. Dessert, Carrot Cake and Coffee. We split one plate and left the table feeling well-fed, not disturbingly stuffed. The pork chop was thick, tender and flavorful. The salad fresh and diverse, dressed to remind me of the former Evah's House of Steak. Brussels Sprouts, slightly steamed. dressed with balsamic vinegar. Scalloped potatoes mildly cheesy. Carrot Cake Big Slice, not over-iced or too suite. Coffee a strong Americano, steamed frothy. The Athletic was an interesting NA beer. Really Hoppy,strong pinyness, slightly bitter finish. Great choice for an occasion. May 9, 2026 - $92. Far better than dropping $50 in the slots snd having a burger later. Complimentary postcard.

Lots of space and a few trucks park in the middle. We didn't need hookups, so it was free to stay, but we made sure to buy gas a few times, water/sewer services, and food and drink from inside on many occasions. The employees were really nice and chill. It was a safe place to stay at night and there's amazing mountain scenery too. There's also a grill inside open from 11-5, pretty good! Our dogs got to enjoy the trails. Water and sewer are only $10 total here. All in all, really convenient! Thank you!

The location is perfect, the food was great and the customer service was very good and friendly. This was our second night staying at the Prospector Hotel. We ate dinner at Margarita's on both of our stays (within the same week going to and coming back from Idaho) with breakfast this morning on our second stay. The staff were quite friendly and all were on their game and attentive. The food was very good and abundant. I had the Mexican Rib-eye steak last night and it was cooked a perfect medium rare. Breakfast this morning was Machaca and Eggs. Lots of it perfectly cooked and great to taste. Oh, and their salsa is outstanding! We'll be back if we ever head this way again. Margarita's was outstanding and so was the Prospector Hotel and Gambling Hall. They're both a gem in north-central Nevada!
