Winnemucca Hotel

So sad to hear that The Winnemucca Hotel is closed. We have really loved it there!

Been closed for a couple years. Is a historic building and is for sale. Needs renovations. Family all died who owned and operated it for years. Went downhill a lot once the son took over in the last decade before they closed.

Well, this place is boarded up and for sale.

My husband and I had dinner at The Winnemucca Hotel just 4 days ago. It was the most discusting food I’ve ever eaten. So over cooked it was dead. The guys working at there looked like daralyics who just got out of the state penn in Lovelock.
We frequent a number of basque resturants such as the JT bar in Gardnerville, Louis’ Basque Corner in Reno, and the Martin in Winnemucca and love all of them.
Basque resturants are typically a long standing famuily traditoin that have been handed down by the elders to the next generation. I’m positive that the family who started the Winnemucca Hotel did not intend for it to present as it does today. The owners should have more respect for their family history. I would never go here again, not even for a cocktail. It was a sereal experience.

Don’t let appearances fool you! My grandmother hailed from a small village in the Pyrenees, but was ethincally French. She was adamant about not being Basque, however when me and my fraternity buddies stopped at the Winnemucca Hotel for dinner on the way back to the Bay Area from a ski trip in Utah, I was blown away at how authentic the food was to my grandmother’s cooking. Built in the 1860s, this landmark eatery offers a dirt cheap six course family style dinner. Dinner entrees include soup, salad, t-​bone steak, chorizos, beef stew, paella, and homemade spaghetti. You won’t leave hungry. Dinner is served from 6p to 9p and they are closed Sunday.
