We were greeted with a smile and seated right away, even though the restaurant was busy. The service was good, our coffee's were refilled regularly and our food arrived quickly and hot! I had pancakes with my omelet and my guest has sour dough roast with his "everything" omelet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of cowboys and cowgirls in the restaurant this morning. Everyone visiting Elko this week is heading to cowboy poetry @the convention center.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The service was good. Surprisingly the food was really good. My husband had the breakfast sandwich and he just devoured it. I had the Mexican meat omelette sounds kind of weird, but it was excellent. Coffee was hot and fresh Overall a great experience would go back again. read more

WOW FACTOR? Yes! We needed a quick dinner to make the 6 pm show at Western Folklife Center and they were able to do this for us, including letting us split the dinner. I really like this place. 5 star service! NOT HAVE AGAIN: The open face turkey and mashed potatoes/gravy was not so good. And, there was very little cranberry sauce. Food was 2 stars OK. read more

Was just passing through Nevada. Stopped in Elko for the night and wanted a healthy breakfast before getting back on the road. Found The Coffee Mug online and it's true to reviews. Delicious food made with fresh ingredients. Lots of choices. Friendly service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Full of locals on a Sunday morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Go there! read more

Great breakfast spot to have a good meal and coffee with friends and family. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Low key family friendly environment with staff that are very attentive to what customers need.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great location with a full bar attached next door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks are reasonably priced and served with a smile. Food and service weren't great. Fries cold, soup luke warm and flat. Server either wouldn't come around or forgot our requests when they got distracted. Food for us xamw out at different times by like five minutes which was weird because wife had French toast and that took 5 minutes longer than a club sandwich? Same thing was happening at other tables. We have been here ince before and no issues stuck out from the first visit. Might have just been an off night on a Sunday. read more

The food was great and the service was fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was fantastic[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Will definitely come back if I can.

Young girl named Karysha who worked as a server at coffee mug was making rude gestures with her and pointing at my table while talking to who I assume is her mother( that also works there)talking and laughing towards us, speaking spanish so we couldn't understand. The food was great And other workers were very polite. read more

Walked in with my black friend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were given a table in the back area away from the rest of the customers (we were the only ones seated in this area).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We asked to be moved to one of a dozen open tables in the front area and were told there was no room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Needless to say, my friend walked out. Yay to racism 2025! read more

I would love to give 5 stars for the waitress only! She was the only person working and it was ridiculous!! the 2 busboys were just standing around or both cleaning one table while gossiping. There were also 2 hostesses there but they sure weren't working. Just standing around while people were waiting to be seated. They wouldn't bring drinks or napkins either. I realize that it's a weekend so the manager and the owner Jeff wasn't around so I guess the old saying applies "when the cat is away the mice will play" Meanwhile Naomi was working so hard and doing everything since the others were not doing anything!!! read more

Nice place. Stopped in as we passed through town. Food was decent, staff friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decor is older but clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Wonderful breakfast/lunch joint in Elko! We stopped here on our way from Utah to Reno, but stumbled across this place when the normal breakfast spot we go to was closed. Boy, I'm glad we did! The interior is much more than you would expect from a traditional coffee shop, and the service was spot on! I got the Popeye omelette with a side of pancakes (it's all about balance, right?!) both were phenomenal! My son and husband got the French dip with fries, and loved them! The ranch was the best! Service was super fast and friendly, and the food came out really quick, which was nice since we were tying to get home in a storm. I wish I would have bought one of the items in their dessert case up front (pies, muffins, cookies, cheesecake), but I was so full, I couldn't think about eating anything else. A definite must-try! read more

The customer service was very good even when they had a full house of customers. While in town I ate there two days and both days the breakfast was enjoyable. The texas French toast were thick and full of flavor. The second day I had the chicken fried steak and it had the classic texture and you can tell it wasn't something frozen being served to you. Everyone in there was nice and friendly. I'm not sure if I'm just used to California prices but the prices they had for all of their meals on the menu were the best I've seen in a very long time. If you're ever traveling down I-80 and are looking for a great breakfast spot take the detour and stop at the coffee mug to fill up. Not only will your stomach thank you but so will your wallet. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We enjoy the hometown atmosphere and service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We also love to eat breakfast there! It's always good food.

Superb place for breakfast and lunch. The pies are in a showcase as you enter. It is difficult to not lick the glass. Great fast, friendly service and the prices are the best in town. Skip the smokey casinos with their advertised specials of soul-less food, come here. The Basque Chorizo and egg scramble is great. Hashbrowns and toast or pancakes with every order. Busy place read more

Bummer. Dinner prices have gone up big time since last year. The food was good. We had a friendly server however I asked for soup and salad and I got separate orders. The waiter charged me for the $4.99 soup and the $15.99 salad which had an enormous amount of onions and strawberries all over it. Just a note in case you're planning to order that spinach salad. I think I ate half of it and left the rest. Definitely not worth $15.99. The fruit pie with ice cream is $6.99. I really love that. The coffee for two people $6.98. Too bad they raised all of the prices. A five dollar cash tip was left on the table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoy the atmosphere however, most of the booths are in need of upgrading. They are cracked and have those springs in multiple locations when you sit down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You have to scout out an even spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On a Friday night there weren't that many people there but if they brought their prices down, I'm sure more people would be coming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We were surprised at how good the food was here. The menu has a wide variety of options and you can have breakfast all day! We were just driving through but I would stop here again! read more

An old friend and I met this week for a girls' getaway in Elko (the halfway point between our current homes). We talked well into the night so slept through the complementary breakfast at our hotel. We asked the gal at the hotel desk to recommend a good diner for breakfast and she offered The Coffee Mug. We followed her recommendation. We both ordered a standard breakfast with eggs. Mine came scrambled and were nice and fluffy. Everything was just as we expected, good home cooking and large portions. My friend noticed the freshly made brownies by the check-out counter and suggested we return for dinner, and a brownie. Dinner was just as good. I had the fried prawns and baked potato, etc (salad, vegetables, and a roll were also included). My friend ordered a chicken pasta dish. Everything was yummy and I especially appreciated the generous servings of salad dressing, butter, and sour cream that came with my meal. My friend was disappointed that the brownies had sold out and expressed this to our server. Just as we were paying our bill, freshly wrapped brownies were rushed up to us, right out of the oven. My friend was even offered her choice of the slightly crispy edge piece or the gooey middle cut. She opted for the latter and we took it back to our hotel room to share a bit later. Hmm, hmm good! As is already obvious from the brownie incident, the service was outstanding. Such a great experience! read more

The Coffee Mug holds a special little place in my heart, as being one of the first restaurants I tried when moving to Elko. So far every time we have gone, the service has been awesome. The wait staff has been very attentive. And the food has never been bad! We've gone on a few different occasions now and I have tried the Mug skillet with mushrooms, the Denver Scramble Sandwich also with mushrooms, and the Jalapeño Burger with a fried egg and they even made me garlic fries when they aren't exactly on the menu!! The coffee is actually really good too and the Bloody Mary is amazing. I will definitely keep coming back to coffee mug to try a different breakfast items seeing as how they're so consistently good. Definitely want to try corned beef and hash one of these days which I'm almost positive I saw on the menu, and definitely want to try the Chorizo skillet! read more

This is, apparently, THE place to eat in Elko. I don't know how the waitresses were keeping up with everything, but they were! The place is adorable, but loud. The food is delicious and priced right. Do not ask for water! It's tap water and it's completely undrinkable. Honestly, the only reason I gave four stars rather than five is because they sat me at a table instead of offering a booth. As an autistic human, tables are a sensory nightmare for me. read more

Stopped in Elko for breakfast before visiting my son in Carlin. It looked good from other Yelp reviews. The Coffee Mug has a great atmosphere. Great decor and nice vibe. Clean. Waitress sat me right away and took my drink order. Menu has a lot of options. I went for the Popeye omelet with full eggs not eggs whites. It came with a choice of pancake or biscuit and I chose the pancake. Also choice of hash browns or country potatoes. Food arrived very quickly. The omelet was delicious. There was a side of salsa that added nice flavor to the country potatoes. The avocado was on top and very fresh and perfect ripeness. I could not finish all my food. I did try the pancake and it had a nice texture but I'm sugar free so I only had it with butter. It was your standard pancake nothing too exciting. Very happy with my visit to Coffee Mug and I will be back should I find myself in Elko any time soon. read more

We have always had great food & service going to the Coffee Mug forever, but our last 2 times has been pretty poor. We have been quite disappointed. Talking to others too, they seem to be having the same kind of experiences there as well. Our waitress was excellent, but the food was cold & bland. read more

Nice usual small town diner. Server was friendly. Food was good. Coffee was often filled up. My biggest pet peeve at a restaurant is sitting with dirty or empty plates. One server came by to check on us. I mentioned the plates could be removed. Apparently they don't remove the plates until you leave, even though there is a busser. read more

I was in Elko for three months for work. This was my weekend obsession. First encounter was Kendra and she brought me in and made me feel welcome. Portions are over generous. Coffee hot and fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A little busy some mornings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check out the desserts. I wish there was another star. read more

I have been here a few times over the years and generally good solid comfort food available to all. My visit today was less than exceptional and I have alerted the waitress on my issue with the pork chops. Well done for sure but chewy, not sure what I wanted but I guess the flavor/cooking method just left me not wanting them anymore. I did change my "stars" as the waitress was concerned about me, a plus in the current environment. This restaurant is operating under Phase 1 of the state COVID requirements and social distancing is in place. We noticed it as we came in. As I said, solid food, friendly atmosphere and open, which in this town is a blessing. read more

Friendly old-school diner with an excellent breakfast menu and early opening hours, so it's a huge win if you're driving cross-country. My huevos rancheros strongly resembled nachos, in the best possible way, and my gratitude at seeing ground taco beef as an alternative to ham and bacon was profound. My coffee mug was kept full, my breakfast was delicious, waitstaff were understanding of my general bleariness, and the prices are reasonable. This is the kind of place that, if I lived here, I'd be visiting for breakfast once a week. read more
