The Tiny Town In Nevada With The Most Mouthwatering Destination Restaurant
Nevada has plenty of amazing restaurants, from the five-star offerings of Vegas to the killer steaks in Reno. Sometimes, a little road trip to one of Nevada's small towns yields a hidden gem---a restaurant that offers delicious food and a unique setting. Cell Block Steak House, in Ely is exactly that kind of restaurant.
The Cell Block Steak House is located in the Jailhouse Motel and Casino in Ely. The old City Hall once stood on this site, and the jailhouse inside housed some of Nevada's most notorious criminals.
Enjoy your steak dinner behind bars. There's no complaining about the food...the cook might shank you.
There's no escaping out the window, either.
Your cell is lit with an interesting liquor bottle fixture.
Start your meal with a yummy spinach salad.
The steaks here are huge---and cooked to perfection. The prime rib special with stuffed potato is delicious.
Or maybe a ribeye with a side of mushrooms is more to your liking. You can't go wrong with any steak on the menu here.
Enjoy a bottle of wine with your meal...if you're going to have a romantic dinner inside a jail cell, you might as well enjoy wine!
The town of Ely isn't exactly tiny, but it is pretty small. The population is around 4,200 residents. The little Main Street is charming with several historic buildings.
Take a stroll through town to see this ghost sign, and the many newer murals painted on the sides of the buildings.
While you're in the area, take a drive to the nearby Ward Charcoal Ovens, left from the old silver mining town of Ward.
