Note: The above picture shows firefighting equipment in the entry of the Firehouse Grille. 

In keeping with our goal to visit small towns, on Saturday we went to Elko-New Market for lunch. After checking out the town a bit, we went to Firehouse Grille, located along the main highway heading west from I-35 (Old Town Road).

As you would expect, the theme of the restaurant is around firefighting. There are lot of firefighting-related displays to keep you busy while waiting for your food.

The restaurant is essentially a sports bar. We had french dip sandwiches – and I had sweet potato fries. My husband also had a bowl of chili. Although service was a little slow in the beginning, the food was good and by the end of the meal we were quite satisfied. They also serve breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. For more information, click here.

I wonder where we will go next time. If you get a chance, visit a small town restaurant. We’ve have good luck so far.

Thanks for reading. I hope you return.
