Along the Loneliest Road in America in the middle of nowhere sits a tiny little town called Middlegate. Once a spot where the Pony Express changed horses, today it’s known for two things: A tree full of discarded shoes and a quaint, old west restaurant called Middlegate Station.
Although it’s a remote watering hole, Middlegate Station serves up amazing grub as well as a food-eating challenge that’s hard to refuse. This Nevada restaurant may be in the middle of nowhere, but it’s so worth the journey!
Your remote destination awaits about 47 miles east of Fallon on Highway 50, the Loneliest Road in America, near the State Route 361 junction.
The restaurant, bar and hotel may not look like much from the outside, but trust me when I say, looks can be deceiving. This is an oasis in the desert.
The Pony Express? No wonder it took them so long to deliver the mail.
Nowadays, Middlegate Station is known for its Monster Burger. Eat it all in one sitting and owners Fredda and Russell Stevenson will give you a free T-shirt.
This one and one-third pound triple-decker Angus burger on a sourdough bun is topped with lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, cheese, peppers and olives, plus fries on the side.

The restaurant has a full menu of delicious items and fries made by "the awesome God of French fry making" according to one Yelper.
