This is a must stop for anyone passing through the area! Not only is it a historical stop, it’s a fun filled bar and restaurant with good food and friendly service. My wife and I have been coming here for years if only to enjoy their homemade ravioli and of course, a tasty picon punch. I should note, the place can get quite crowded on a weekend evening but I think it just adds to the atmosphere.

Great place to stop before the Black Rock Desert. Pretty good food and very friendly service. Rustic interior.
Two surprises. First was the amount of dust blowing in the wind. It looked like a Morrocan sirocco. Second was that there was a cigarette vending machine near the restroom.
All in all Bruno’s is a lot of fun.
Really enjoyed the Philly cheese steak. Splurge the $1 extra for the onion rings. The wife loved the grilled bacon, turkey, Swiss cheese on sourdough.

There’s a lot of history here. It’s all over the walls in pictures and news articles. This has been a place for locals for a long time with a rich history of events significant to the area. I regret not taking more pics other than my food and the phone booth outside. There’s a lot of neat stuff that went on, so I’m giving myself a pass. In the end – The food is great and the people are awesome, a great experience!!!

On the edge of the Black Rock Desert, about 90 m from any other civilization, lies the unique town of Gerlach. We stopped for lunch at Bruno’s, where the obvious “regulars” ate. I had a mushroom burger & my husband had a cheeseburger, but we could’ve had ravioli freshly made that morning, not to mention roast beef that was on the menu! The towns people were quirky and welcoming and the whole experience was fantastic! Thanks!

This is a very unique and interesting restaurant! Gerlach is where the world land speed record was set and there are some great pictures hanging. For lunch I had the Gerlach Griller sandwich and it was excellent! All the lunches were huge portions so go in hungry!

The food is always great and we’ve met some interesting people here in the middle of the desert! It’s our regular pit stop between Reno and Cedarville.
