Where to dine near Great Basin National Park | Eater Vegas
"This seasonal restaurant, open in late spring through fall, is located at the Whispering Elms Motel and known for its build-your-own burgers. Diners can start with a simple beef patty and customize the bun, cheese, toppings, sauces, and even add on unique items such as grilled pineapple, cranberry sauce, and bacon relish. The menu also includes breakfast sandwiches, cheesesteaks, and berry breakfast toast." - Krista Diamond
Burgers in a small town. Outdoor seating, food truck style, simple choices of beef, turkey or mushroom burger. Macaroni salad was also good. Not a lot of choices in Baker but we're glad this was here and it was good.

Great burgers!! We had an amazing day at Great Basin national park and then found this hidden place. The burgers and lemonade were great. They had options like grilled Ortega chili's and grilled pineapple. Don't let the small
Roadside spot pass you by. Bonus the lodge also has a bar that has great beers in tap and 6 packs to-go.
Cute mom and pop spot owned by the people who own Thw Whispering Elm Rv and Motel. They are so friendly.
Side note: google is wrong! They are open Friday-Sunday 4-8 pm

This is a fantastic burger joint with fabulous burgers and great sides, you will not be disappointed! The Dill potato salad and Macaroni salad are fantastic. Burgers are large and in charge with a multitude of toppings, very fresh and tasty. Don't forget to ask for their homemade lemonade....it is the stuff of legend!

Two of my sons and I ate an early dinner here yesterday. One son and I each had a beef burger on a brioche bun, and the other son had the special (chili dog). We all agree that this place is amazing, and if we're in Baker again, we'll definitely stop by to eat at the 487 Grill again. The two of us who had burgers agree that our burgers may have been the the best we've ever had. Amazing!

One of the best food trucks I’ve EVER been to and one of the best burgers I’ve ever had - all from a little truck in Baker. You order your burger with all your selections from the bun to the cheese to the sauces/toppings. The guy working the grill could not have been nice. Also, 10/10 for the fabulous dill potato salad!!!

Stopped here after hiking at Great Basin and it was fantastic! The burger was delicious and so were the sides. I was a big fan of the 487 sauce. Also the folks who run this are very friendly. Will definitely come back next time I’m in the area!

Really delicious burger! Build your own and you can’t go wrong. It is definitely one of my top burgers I’ve had anywhere.
You get to pick so from many toppings or cheeses and even bun types. They take great care in ensuring they repeat your order exactly as you asked for it.
Didn’t take long for a freshly made great burger. We ordered 2 burgers right after another couple had ordered. And I think we had ours in less than 10 mins.

The only place opened after visiting Great Basin NP.
We were super hungry and pretty much all the food places were closed except for this one. I was so happy to run into this place because their food is made to order and it tasted good. We had hamburgers and potato salad and everything tasted very good! The customer service was great, the people who work here are super friendly! Loved our experience here, thank you 487 Grill

Oh man do I ever recommend this place!!! By far they had the best Philly cheese steak sandwich that I have ever tasted. That was just such amazing food.
The lady inside that took my order was super friendly. She was very helpful to find a bread that my counterpart could eat.
There are some tables outside (picnic tables) or I believe that you can take it to go. We ate at the picnic table and enjoyed the setting sun.
They have very short hours and at times can get a little busy. But over all, very good food with great people. I highly recommend.

The burgers were delicious! The service was great and we were in love with the "local"s favorite beer...high water boom boom.

487 Grill is wonderful. The food is made to order. They met every gluten-free and dairy-free option. The staff is friendly and the food was hot and free. I should have eaten tonight's meal there too. Last night was wonderful. When my wife and I went back after a bad experience at another restaurant, we decided we wanted a lemon-aid for dessert. I told the gentleman working tonight of our excellent experience the night before. I told him I wish we would have some back. He gave use a lemon-aid on the house. This is an example of a business that cares for the customer. I wish them success and look forward to revisiting on my next trip. The food was cooked to order with fresh ingredients. A must stop for your visit to Baker, NV.

Outstanding and substantial burger made to order. Loved it! Many options from which to choose. Don't miss this spot just down the hill from Great Basin National Park in friendly Baker, Nevada.

Really good chicken quesadilla. Good service. They were the only place in town open at 4:30 on a Sunday evening, so they get 5 stars from me.

This was amazing food! Had dinner last night everything was so fresh. Great burgers and recommend the homemade potato salad as the side. Came back for breakfast. We had a breakfast burrito and biscuits and gravy. Worth a detour for this food! Super friendly service. Thank you.

Very surprised how good this place was. My wife and I were leaving Great Basin NP and just needed some quick food for our drive home. Breakfast burrito was AWESOME. The guy who was working the grill was super friendly and very helpful when my wife asked for no meat/no cheese burrito. Highly recommend!

Solid burger, hot dog, and Mac salad with decent prices near Great Basin National Park! We stayed in Baker and had dinner here two nights in a row. Highly recommended!

Pop up trucks in isolated areas make me nervous, but be brave! This little truck serves great food at reasonable, even cheap, prices. A very large cup of coffee for $1?!

Excellent, personable service. Ordering was fun and included helpful suggestions. The food was superbly comforting and delicious. Very glad I stopped for lunch before 6 hour drive home after staying in Great Basin camp ground.

thankful this is one of the few options in Baker - it's a very tasty burger joint with good sides. The special sauce is great. Fun picnic tables as well.
