Cellblock Steak House - Ely

That was a fun experience. The Steak dinners we had were very good. The servers were very busy, but we still felt like we had a good service.

This was the worst dining experience ever when stopping for dinner on our way to Vegas. 1. Our drink orders were wrong 2. It took 20 minutes to place our order. 3. The appetizer stuffed mushrooms were all heat no flavor 4. 2 tables who sat after us got their orders ahead of ours. 5. After 40 minutes of waiting, when our order arrived, it was Wrong Again. 6. We left without eating our meals and still were charge $40 for bread, 2 coffees, 1 soda, 1 appetizer,, and a long Island iced tea. I am very thankful my friend, who's Birthday we were celebrating with our trip, hadn't taken her insulin when we ordered or we would have had a medical emergency on our hands with the wait for service. DO NOT RECOMMEND IF YOU WANT PROMPT SERVICE OR FLAVORFUL FOOD

I travel to Ely for work a few times a year. This is the first time I ate at the Cellblock. Had a great Ribeye! Cool place. Update: Sad to see they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays during the winter :

Incredible steak dinner! The service was excellent. And the atmosphere is fun but elegant at the same time.

Excellent food, excellent place! I took my family of four here after arriving in Ely late at night. Despite it being friday night, we only had to wait 15 minutes. The jail cell theme is really neat. Those complaining about authenticity have obviously failed to read the back of the menu. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on us often. I ordered the ribeye medium rare with the stuffed potato and house salad. My wife ordered the filet mignon, stuffed potato, and house salad. Her steak was the best ive tasted in a while! Both steaks were spot on and seasoned just right. The asparagus was nice and tender, but not overcooked. The stuffed potato wasnt too bad, but I'd probably order a baked potato next time. It didnt taste bad, it just wasnt what i was expecting. The beans were great as well, i love the bacon pieces and seasoning they use. The price is sort of high, but i expect that from a steakhouse. I definitely recommend this place!
