A little overpriced for the amount of food. The nachos were not worth $15. $10 maybe. Really enjoyed the hot honey chicken sandwich. Service was on point!

Loved the food, the service, and the staff, and it was very clean! We are business owners as well, very nice to see a place run well. We were passing through and grateful we found this place.

My husband and I were traveling and found this place on the internet. For a weeknight, they seemed pretty busy. There were eight men seated along the bar. They all seemed to know each other-I'm guessing they were regulars. Families filled most of the tables. We ordered our favorites: a burger for my husband and a pulled pork sandwich for me. The food was good. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The thing I will most remember, however, is how clean the entire place was, from the mounts on the walls to the women's restroom. I have ever been in a bar that was so cheery and spotless! It made me feel very confident about eating what was coming out of the kitchen. We will definitely stop in again the next time life takes us to Ely.

Some might disagree but there are only really a couple of good places to eat in Ely that aren't chains, ethnic or in casinos. This is one. Right on Main Street downtown you've got to look for it but it's right there between two taverns with plenty of signage. The room is nicely appointed with the bar/kitchen along the wall and several high and low top tables. They call it a sports bar, and it has several TV's around, but when we visited this time they were all showing hunting shows. If you're not a hunter and object to trophy heads of the various wildlife animals hanging everywhere (Racks - get it?) it probably isn't the place for you. They're also not shy about sharing their political views on various signs and stickers behind the bar, but that's pretty standard in this part of the world. In the summer the patio is open, which is really the place to sit on a nice day. Every time we've been there it's been packed. Mostly with locals which is a good sign. They have just about every kind of bar food here including huge sandwiches, some entrees, and pizza. They also have some specials but it doesn't appear they change too often. Food is what you come here for and everything we've tried is good and plentiful. Service was about what you'd expect here; kind of harried, but it's always pretty busy so expected. Prices were standard these days; about $50-$60 for two including a cocktail. If you're new to Ely or just passing through and want a casual lunch or dinner this is the place to go.

What a great spot for lunch. The portions were huge and the food was amazing. Our server Sierra was super friendly and never left us waiting. Highly recommend!

Didn't get any photos but stopped in for last minute bite to eat on our way to Idaho. We had the new York steak sandwich, hot pastrami and popcorn shrimp. The food was good especially the popcorn shrimp. Service was good too.

Food was fine (silverware was cheap & sharp edged-why can't restaurants have a little step up?!?). From previous Yelp reviews, we thought it was a step up from burger joint with beers. NOT! If you want a quick, noisy, hot cooked burger & beer, this is the place. If you want a nice steak, baked potato dinner, you're not going to find it here. Very nice servers.

The wife and I stopped in to grab something to eat while we were getting the hell out of Vegas. My wife suggested Racks, and I was thinking, "Cool, a gentlemen's club". Not at all what I was expecting. It's a local bar and grill packed with pretty cool folks. My wife has a grilled chicken salad and I had the Big Racks burger. My burger was huge and so sloppy I had to eat it with a fork and knife, the perfect tavern burger! Pretty cool atmosphere, we're definitely planning to come back through Ely when we have more time to check the place out more. There are some very impressive racks at Racks, but you can only look and not touch. We'll be back!
