Great Basin Café — Restaurant in Ely

This café is amazing. Without a doubt the best place to eat in Great Basin and I would definitely recommend you try it at least once if you are touring the Great Basin. First off, the food is homemade. All of the food is delicious and the homemade soup is amazing. The food also doesn’t take too long to make and only takes 10-15 minutes. The coffee here is also very good and they have a decent selection of beverages to choose from. The ice cream here and shakes are phenomenal. If you order an ice cream cone they give you a more than generous serving of amazing ice cream. If you order the thick-shakes, you will not be let down. These too are amazing with the perfectly thick texture and amazing selection of flavors. The customer service is also amazing and the employees make you feel at home. They will check on you and ask you how you are doing and make conversation if you want to. Overall, I would highly recommend this café. Also, the gift shop has an amazing selection of board games and...

We had a great experience at this wonderful cafe with an amazing view and terrific food! The staff was friendly and the owner took time to have a nice conversation with us. The hotdogs we ordered were very well done - great all-beef franks topped with delicious dill slaw and a heaping helping of delectable smoked pork - knife and fork necessary! The house-made ribbon fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned as well. We had a 5-star lunch while looking out over the breath-taking Great Basin! We will be back! Take time to get a pic with the beautiful bristle cone pine standing between the upper and lower parking lots. For a quaint and delicious cafe meal, try this place out and you won’t be disappointed.

Headed for the cave tour we decided to grab a bite. Lots of people in the area but plenty of seating inside and out. We split a fried chicken bacon wrap and some potato salad. We both agreed this was the best wrap of this style we had ever eaten. Potato salad tasted as good as it looks. We had to leave for our tour but we came back for a cherry float to go, definitely the best roady ever!

The servers were on fire and having a great time. Which added to the atmosphere. They really enjoy their work.

The cafe is at the cave tour checkin, same parking lot. Plenty of space and places to sit to take into the view.

While there are not many options for food in the area it was a good thing, this place was great. Highly recommend...
