Valentine’s Dinner at Middlegate

Located in rural Nevada, Middlegate Station is a historic stop along U.S. Highway 50, often referred to as "The Loneliest Road in America." Established in the 1800s, it originally served as a stagecoach station and rest stop for travelers crossing the vast Nevada desert. Over the years, Middlegate has evolved into a beloved local restaurant and gathering place, known for its warm hospitality, unique atmosphere, and ties to the region’s pioneer heritage.

Historic Middlegate Station will once again serve up a special Valentine’s Day dinner, offering a choice of prime rib, rib steak, or Malibu chicken, accompanied by garlic mashed potatoes, spring salad, and chocolate mousse. Co-owners Travis Anderton and his mother, Carol-Lynn Dinus, said the regular menu will also be available throughout the day for those seeking other options.

The popular restaurant’s bar will be open all day, and guests are welcome to stop in for breakfast and lunch prior to the evening’s festivities. Anderton emphasized that no reservations will be taken on Valentine’s Day, with dinner service beginning at 5 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis.

Middlegate Station remains a favorite local spot for holiday gatherings, promising a warm atmosphere for both couples and families this Valentine’s Day.
