    Fried cheesecake
    Laura E.

    Warning: it is 21+ and people smoke inside. There is a non-smoking room in the back though. My friend and I came here after a long day of driving and hiking in Death Valley and it hit the spot! The locals were all very friendly and welcomed us. The food was cooked to order so it was hot and crispy. We devoured the garlic fries and I wish I could eat them daily. The fried cheesecake was also amazing (although very dense and heavy - could not finish it in one sitting)! Would definitely recommend this place if you're in town!

    Wedge Salad ~ yummyy!!

    The Beatty VFW came recommended by our hotel, at first we thought this is your #1 pick but we looked up them up saw the simple menu options, reviews, pictures and decided what the heck let's head on over. We walked in to be immediately greeted by the friendly bartender who said pull up a seat, we let her know we would like to grab a bite to eat. She said we could eat at the bar or there were a couple of tables below - we opted to find our way in the lower area. She gave us menus, letting us know that we would order dinner through her and then pick up our dinners when our name was called at the window - easy enough. We looked over the 'Chow' aka menu with the special of the night being Fish & Chips deciding on the Special of course for the hubby, I couldn't resist the Shrimp Scampi and we both ordered their amazing Wedge salads - BTW their croutons and bread made in house is TO DIE FOR!! We even ordered the next night to-go after a longgg hiking day in Death Valley grabbing the VFW Honey Pot pizza, wings and garlic parmesan bread - yummmyyy!! Inexpensive quality food, full bar & sodas, simple place but homey with a ton of history, GREAT people and friendly service. Keep in mind this establishment is 21 and over but you can ALWAYS order food to go anddd it's worth it!

    See all

Driving by, my brother and I thought, wow, that place doesn't even look open and it doesn't look like it would be very good so we went to the Candy and Nut place that we were there for, we shopped and on the way out, we asked people that worked there and they all said it doesn't look like much but is really great inside. So back we went and Yeah, it had quirks. The waitress was super friendly, I am sorry I didn't get her name.. It was small with about 10 tables. The one we sat at was super wobbly and the floor was stained and I thought, well, this is going to be interesting. I liked the deco--old photos of old stars, cars, old coke glasses, very unique and looked it up while we waited for our drinks, its been there for 60 years.... I got a soda and my brother a coffee. He said it was good. I got eggs and hashbrowns and he got the same + bacon. Served on a paper plate (I laugh because we don't use plates at home) but it was good. we saw burros walking by. The bathroom was private (Outside on the side of the building, like a gas station might have) and it was clean... it locked. I did hear a burro walk by hooting, that was, well, a hoot. All in all, the menu looked good--Though I am glad I eat eggs because if I didn't, there would not be much for Vegans... But I would still go back on my next visit to the area.

    Pulled in ten minutes prior to close but was told they were closing. Pretty lame, I was hungry…read more Food looks good though. Will try again in the future and revise review pending experience

Walking inside the gas station it's sectioned off to the left. They do seem to have a fly issue on the gas station as some had said. Hopefully that Is something they will rectify. However, its hard to find good Indian food these days. Especially in such a remote area such as this, and I found the food here was actually really delightful. Sometimes you have to go to a hole in the wall, that lacks the sparkle and refinement visually to get the flavor you have been searching for. The cashier was polite as he took our order. We got the butter chicken, mango lassi, and a potato stuffed paratha bread. It was perfect to share between two people. The meat was tender and flavorful, and I loved that there were nuts in the sauce and the spices were more complex. I find a lot of Indian places dont add those touches in the states. Rice was fluffy and fragrant, the bread was so delicious! Warm and layered with that soft potatoes filling. It was great to dip into the butter chicken sauce. They also had a side of yogurt and a chutney. The chutney was not my favorite thing in the world, it tasted perfumey. We got the food mild incase our child wanted any, but they do offer spice levels. The mango lassi was divine! Bursting with flavor and not to thick. If flies were not attacking me this would have been 5 stars. I didn't experience not feeling welcome in any way because I am not the same ethnicity as the workers like some had mentioned. I just thought that was important to mention. If you want yummy food and a place to stretch your legs its a great alternative to the less than stellar cuisune you often find on this route to tahoe in the smaller towns.

This place is like that: In addition to the usual roadside gas station, convenience store, there is an Indian restaurant inside that is absolutely terrific! The place is clean, the staff is more than friendly. The menu isn't big, but it has all the typical indian dishes. I had the chicken curry, hot. (The waiter told me it was "Indian hot," not "American hot" but I've had hotter. Pro-Tip #1: When you order, get the 'hot'.) The portions were delicious and huge; despite overeating because it was so tasty, I still took away leftovers. They offer both dine-in and take-away service. But... Pro-Tip #2: If you would like a drink to accompany your meal, get it from the C-Store cooler (and pay for it at the counter) before you get your meal, as drinks aren't on the menu. It's literally in the middle of nowhere: Half-way between Las Vegas and Tonopah avoids the hustle and bustle and bright city lights. But if you're on 95, plan on stopping here for a delicious meal! PS: They also have an "American" menu, so burgers, grilled cheese, etc... are also available. But srsly, get the Indian food! PPS: While you're here you can stock up on the Area-51 Alien accoutrements at reasonable prices, too!

We were staying in the park for two nights so we had a couple of dinners and breakfasts. I tried to be healthy and get the stuffed poblano peppers and those were decent but I wouldn't reccommend them-unless you're vegetarian. The next night I gave up and just went with a bison burger which was solid. For breakfast if you get to the breakfast bar early enough there are fresh mixed berries and plantains which were a unique touch. The prices weren't too bad either. The staff were all very friendly, the meals came out quickly, and the restaurant and Saloon had a rustic decor that went with the locale. Since we weren't traveling with children I preferred the Saloon with the beautiful views. Considering all that has made things difficult lately, tariffs, wars, etc... the fact that you can get a decent meal in a remote location is pretty impressive.

    Sourdough Saloon - Homemade cheesecake

    Hidden gem for homemade food!!…read more We brought our kids for dinner and had an unexpectedly great meal--calzones and sourdough pizza, plus homemade cheesecake and brownies. I do not normally get cheesecake but trust me - this is SO good. Everything is made from scratch, including the sourdough, calzone dough, and pizza sauce, and desserts. We ordered personal pizzas, but the large ones looked huge--lots of people were enjoying them in the bar area. When we walked in, we weren't sure what to expect. There are two entrances--one to a busy saloon for adults and was quite busy for a Tuesday), and one to an empty back dining area near the kitchen. We chose the back, which actually turned out great. The chef (been here since August) was very friendly, shared about the food, and makes East Coast-style pizza and calzones (recently moved from New Jersey). His wife makes the desserts I think he said - my kids loved the brownies, and I loved the cheesecake: light, fluffy, and not overly sweet (and I don't usually eat cheesecake!). Very casual, low-key spot with friendly people and truly homemade food.

    The breadsticks were slightly burnt, and the atmosphere leaned heavily on awkward, outdated boomer…read morehumor that made us feel anything but welcome. Hutch referred to my wife as "my friend," a couple times which immediately set an uncomfortable tone. Things went further downhill when the chef (if that's the right term, given the state of the breadsticks) approached us aggressively while we were boxing up our food. He raised his voice and said "nobody told me it was for takeout," despite the fact that I had already had a full conversation with Hutch confirming takeout and requesting everything to-go. I hadn't even said a word to the chef and didn't mind packing things up myself due to a simple miscommunication, but his confrontational approach was completely unnecessary. It's hard not to wonder whether the discomfort we experienced had anything to do with the fact that I'm obviously gay, because the overall interaction felt weird, unwelcoming, and tense. I went across the street later to the BBQ place to get food and they treated us like family, so it's not a small town problem. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the wings were decent, but I could never imagine coming here again. They also did not have homemade desserts like the other reviews claim (one of the reasons we even came here).
