When most people think of amazing restaurants, the last place they’d expect to find them is in a small town. But we think that some of the best restaurants in NV are the mom-and-pop hidden gems found in the boonies! These hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Nevada may be off the beaten path, but they’re packed with tasty meals and impeccable ambiance that locals can’t get enough of. From high-end waterfront restaurants to rustic saloons, let’s take a look at nine delicious restaurants around the state to check out on your next Nevada road trip.
Bella's Restaurant & Espresso serves breakfast, lunch and dinner ALL DAY. Because all of their delicious dishes are homemade, it's not surprising this restaurant is a local favorite. From the build-your-own breakfast burrito to Mexican favorites to fresh-baked pastries to burgers and so much more.
This hidden gem restaurant in Yerington, Nevada is an absolute delight - if you can find it! Colorful, Latin-inspired cuisine makes a name for itself at El Superior, and while you'll certainly find all of the usual suspects on the menu (tacos, tortas, enchiladas), you'll also find plenty of flavorful, eye-catching dishes that will make your tastebuds dance.
While the saloon-esque exterior is a pretty big hint as to what's going on inside Urban Cowboy, don't mistake this rustic restaurant for one that just serves up bar fare. From the beefy steaks to the delicately-seasoned corn succotash to the perfectly crispy Texas toast, this Lonely Highway restaurant is a must-stop!
Pioneer Saloon is a historic saloon that offers delicious brews, cocktails and American cuisine, including hamburgers and fries. It's most likely the nation's oldest stamped-metal building still standing. In fact, this historic restaurant is worth a visit no matter your hunger level.
This is real-deal Italian right here! Made from scratch, hearty portions of saucy pasta, fresh bruschetta, and flavorful soups are just the start of everything you can enjoy at Khristopher's. Just don't leave without a slice of tiramisu!
Stateline may have a petite year-round population, but this NV-CA border town definitely isn't short on natural beauty or high-end amenities. And its restaurants are the same! Edgewood is a waterfront restaurant that sits right on S. Lake, and is one of three operated by the Edgewood resort. But we just can't get enough of the sweeping, ocean-like views here and the divine, mountain-inspired cuisine.
Meatarians, rejoice! Smokin J's is a hog-lovin' haven exploding with flavorful meat plates, rich sides, refreshing beverages, and plenty of burnt ends to go around. It's also a fantastic place to dine al fresco, without the grueling Nevada sun, courtesy of the chill patio.
36 Steak & Seafood, located at Cactus Pete's Resort Casino offers steak selections from local ranches. These are some of the finest cuts of steak you'll ever eat.
The Sasquatch Tavern & Grill is a popular spot for lunch and dinner. Because of its wonderful selection of drinks, it's a great place to unwind from a long day.
These tiny restaurants in Nevada (well, some are tinier than others!) may be hidden away in the state’s quiet small towns, but they’re packed with good eats. Are there any other hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Nevada that you would add to the list? We’d love to hear about them!
