Shepherd's Inn continues the tradition of family style Basque lunch. The bell rings every day at 12:30 for an amazing lunch spread of soup, bread, wine, 2 salads, vegetable, beans, entree and side dish, and cheese for dessert.
All for nine dollars and interesting dining companions! I've been going there so long that I remember the menu: Monday spareribs, Tuesday lamb shanks, Wednesday roast pork, Thursday roast beef, Friday fried chicken, Saturday leg of lamb, and Sunday paella and shrimp. I eat Basque style from Bakersfield to Elko and Shepherd's Inn is at the top of my list. Have a traditional Picon Punch before your meal.
There used to be 40 people a day here, but the recession and a dwindling appreciation for family style dining has affected turnout. See you there (Wednesday is my favorite).
