I have come here practically every weekend since living in Elko and have received excellent service every time. I didn’t even have to ask for coffee from the start, they just started bringing it to me right away as if they knew exactly what I wanted. Each time I have ordered an egg white garden omelette with no potatoes and no toast sub spinach and they have been more then just accommodating. I’ve yet to have anything but breakfast but am sure I will at some point as my experience has always been good; good food, good service, good company, good times. See you this weekend Toki Onas.

It seems the better restaurants(per the usual sources) take the weekend off in Elko. We were over nighting here with the GD(picky eater) and we wanted Italian but both were closed. One of the Mexican places had been open but closed at 6:00PM. The other Basque restaurant is also closed on weekends. Having lost out on everything on our list, we were driving by when the wife spotted Toki Ana and, in an extremely hungry voice, declared we were going to be eating HERE! They have a decent kid’s menu which appeased the GD. The wife had the hot turkey sandwich and I did the lamb chops(it is sacrilegious to eat at a Basque restaurant and not eat lamb). The chicken soup with orzo was tasty. Even the picky one gobbled it down. The salad lettuce was cold and fresh although the mayo dressing was bland and needed help. The French fries were great, the baked potato was –well a tinfoil wrapped baked potato, and the recommended Ana potatoes were fine. The wife liked her turkey sando and my lamb chops were cooked perfectly plus they were accompanied with a traditional heap of sautéed garlic slices. We opted for the senior’s menu as there is no chance we could have also eaten the spaghetti and green beans which come with the standard order. Don’t forget there is a basket of fresh bread and butter to help fill you up. This was good choice particularly considering the choice available on a Sunday night in Elko and we would return if ever return.

I absolutely love the Borders, Steak Sandwiches are great and the Steak and Eggs is an amazing way to start the day or in our case a pre work out… Best Basque for your buck!

Stopped in from a local’s recommendation. I was it disappointed. Friendly service, and good choices for breakfast. The portion size was filling, and glad they had a togo cup for coffee. Thank you, and I will return when back in town.

We shared the filet mignon and it was delicious. It was also more than enough food for two. They start you off w a delicious pasta soup and soft bread. Then a salad which is just iceberg but the dressing was good. With our steak which was tender and juicy we got fries, a wonderful scallop potato, green beans, spaghetti, and rice. It’s a fun family style meal. The atmosphere is good with an updated interior.

I’ve eaten at Basque Restaurants all over Nevada and California. I really like them. Toki Ona is now one of my favorites. I’m writing this assuming that you know what to expect at a Basque Restaurant — Family Style dinner. Soup, Salad, Bread, Sides, then you choose your meat(and at Toki Ona your potato) I had the rib eye steak and my husband had lamb chops. The rib eye is huge and delicious. Always have it with the garlic on top. Its soft sautéed and so delicious. The bread was wonderful, the Anna or Scalloped potatoes are amazing. I loved both the soup and the salad. I usually don’t at Basque Restaurants, they’re often very blah. The dressing on the salad was so good! The soup was a very tasty chicken noodle with tomatoes. They make all their desserts in house. We split a Tiramisu for dessert and it was delicious! The service was amazing! Better than any of the Basque restaurants we’ve been to in the past few years. We weren’t packed in like sardines; much much more comfortable than The Star Hotel. Great service, great food, comfortable relaxed meal. The only thing I wish was different is that they’d make some of the sides more interesting. I do love Basque style camp beans and wish they’d been on the menu. I want to thank the owners, chefs, staff and especially Perla for a very enjoyable meal after a long day on the road. From reading the other reviews I don’t think the people who didn’t like Toki Ona understood what to expect at a Basque Restaurant. I’ve been to many and Toki Ona is top of my list for over all dining experience.

Couldn’t log into Unilocal so we weren’t able to read reviews before we went. Toki Ona sounds like it’d have some Hawaiian dishes on the menu, and I’m pretty sure, it advertised itself as a barbeque joint. There was no barbeque. I got a french dip. It had a good deal of meat on it, and the bread was good, but it was so BLAND. My husband got a hamburger and it too was bland. My «salad» was iceberg lettuce with a sliver of tomato and 2 cucumber slices.

We were in Elko, NV for an overnight stop on a longer trip. In looking at our options on Unilocal,we settled on Toki Ona. I liked the idea of family style serving of the various additional items as part of the meal. I have to admit I was disappointed. The food wasn’t terrible, but all three of our party agreed that the food was quite bland. It is as if no spices or sauces were used at all in cooking them. A couple of our party had steaks and they said they weren’t terrible, but not what you’d expect for that $ 25+ steak. I think the best thing I had were the french fries. The soup tasted a lot like a Campbell’s soup product. Overall, it was just mediocre and way too mediocre for the $ 90+ our party of 3 paid for it.

Wow what a great meal we both had the senior menu 2 lamb chops which comes with soup salad and potato of your choice. The lamb chops were cooked perfect and everything else was very good We will definitely come back. Our meals with two glasses of wine under $ 50 what a deal

Here for breakfast, staff was very friendly. The food was not very good. Chose the toki ona omelette. Even though it had ham, peppers, onions and tomatoes in it, it was tasteless. No flavor at all. The potatoes were mushy like fried mashed potatoes, no seasoning. The toast was so dry not buttered at all. Coffee was good though.

Reasonable prices, decent friendly service, but average food. Plenty of food to fill up on. I got the baked lamb, it was ok. My dining partner got the prime rib, it was a huge generous potion that LOOKED great. As far as prime rib goes, it was dry and tough. It just wasn’t a great cut of prime rib. The sides were generic. The spaghetti reminded me of canned chef boy-r-d, the green beans were canned. The salad was watery iceberg lettuce with a dressing that seemed to be only mayonnaise. The rice was ok. The star plate was the augrautin potatoes. Overall the experience wasn’t «bad», it was an ok meal for the money, but nothing special. I recommend the baked lamb for the best bang for your buck. Skip the expensive prime rib!

Stopped by for a late lunch. Great salad and steak. A bit too much garlic, but otherwise very tasty!

Good food — friendly service. The chorizo sandwich is quite good! Nothing fancy here, but certainly a worthwhile stop.

It is alright. When I think of Basque, I think of Louie’s in Reno. Toki Ona has the advantage of being right off of I-80. The service is good. The food is mediocre for a full price Basque restaurant. Greasy chicken. Uneventful vegetables. Salad is iceberg lettuce mixed with mayonnaise. Fries are soggy. Fortunately, we had just come out of the Ruby Mountains hunting for Himalayan Snowcock, so we were tired and famished — therefore, once we sat down, we just ate. There are other Basque places in Elko — I think I’ll check them out the next time I’m there.

My daughters, husband and I ate dinner here on our way east, All meat: pork, chops, beef and chicken was extremely dry, the green beans were canned, but I must say the baked potatoes were good. The portions are generous which is a plus if you like dry meat.

Went 5 weeks later and not good at all. Pork chops burned. Salad watery. Spaghetti awful. Drink was good, but husband had to go to bar to get it. No one interested in helping us. Wait staff and manager very scattered. Had a belly ache all night and not from overeating.

Had dinner here late one night in June 2014. The service was extremely poor. Probably the worst Basque Food I have ever had. Not sure that it was really Basque Food, I think school cafeteria or prison food masquerading as Basque Food. Two positives are that it wasn’t particularly expensive and there was a lot of food.

A true home style country breakfast, Basque style if you choose. Fresh potatoes, good veggies. Salsa too. Had a garden omelette, biscuits, and coffee. An excellent break from hotel continental breakfasts. We ate dinner and breakfast here on this journey. At dinner we were able to split one main course, paying $ 9 for a second serving of sides. Our bill was 30% less than a comparable at the Star, with nothing left over to take back to the hotel. Breakfast was very good. Real potatoes, not frozen hash browns, a three-egg veggie omlette and biscuits. We split breakfast too, costing us less than $ 18, with coffee and OJ. Service was excellent, ambiance, OK Would we return? Yes.

The only redeeming part of the place– attentive wait staff and the juicy meat. However, after paying $ 12.50 plus tip, and being served tons of food, I didn’t eat most of it and left hungry. The menu consists of you choosing your selection of meat/chicken/lamb/seafood, then receiving this selection with the sides chosen by the restaurant. Every single one of the SEVEN side dishes I was served were flavorless and tasted like they came out of a can. The green beans were literally dumped out of a can, into the serving dish, and presented without spices. The salad was torn iceberg lettuce drenched in flavorless dressing. The spaghetti tasted canned. The rice with mixed veggies had absolutely no spices or pepper in it, and hardly any salt. Don’t go, unless all you want is a large portion of juicy meat. There may be few good options in Elko, but avoid Toki Ona’s,

Stopped in for a REAL late lunch. They serve lunch until 4:30 and we just slid in under the wire. I ordered the sirloin lunch and it was great. My buddy ordered a steak sandwich. With mine I got soup and salad. Great tastes and flavors across the board. If you are in town for a few days… this place would be a great restaurant to add to the mix. The service was good too. Friendly even though they were busy switching over to dinner service.
