Menu as of 11.24.2025

Dad's American Diner in Pahrump, NV, is solid 4 stars. My family had breakfast here on November 24, 2025. Because the dining area up front was fairly busy, we were welcomed to sit in the back room which comfortably sat our party of 5. It was hard to miss the very patriotic vibes inside with lots of manly and military decor. I liked it because it was different. My plain black coffee was good and strong. For breakfast I really enjoyed the biscuits with sausage gravy. The biscuits, while just a tad overdone, were still good. Try their pancakes! My oldest daughter had me try hers and wow - probably the best in town. Also, their hashbrowns are NOT from the freezer. They are homemade and you can definitely tell the difference. Service was nice, but a bit clueless about the upcoming Thanksgiving dinner plus she was too chatty for my liking. My ex mother-in-law does tend to bring out the talkative sides of people, though. Free parking in a small plaza lot. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4| Price: 4

Country breakfast with bacon and scrambled eggs
Melissa P.

We have come here often since it's opened, and it's very delicious food and friendly staff and customer service. They're very welcoming and their food is always tasty and fresh. They have plenty of places to sit inside, you can choose the front area or the back. Their decor is very cool with a mix of cars and country living. One of my favorite meals is the country breakfast that has biscuits and gravy, their gravy is very good tasting and isn't overly salted or peppery, like some can be. Their coffee is always hot and I choose to get a large glass of ice and make it an iced coffee, If coming thru town or just haven't tried it yet and you live here in Pahrump, you should stop by!

Food was 10/10 we love a good breakfast and this definitely hit the spot! Service was 10/10 I didn't catch her name but she was really nice and would check if we needed anything every so often Updated menu is in the pics I took Overall we'll be back again for another family breakfast soon

Chicken & Waffles
Jamie G.

We stopped by Dad's American Diner on a quick trip into Pahrump from Vegas. All the staff were super friendly and service was super quick. I got the chicken and waffles - the waffle was super fluffy and moist, the chicken tenders had a good flavorful breading, and the butter was so good. My boyfriend got a breakfast plate with bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, and a biscuit with gravy. I snuck a taste of the biscuit and gravy and really liked the flavor. Prices were reasonable and we really enjoyed our meal! Will definitely be back next time we're in town.

My first experience with the dad's American Diner was on October 14th. I've been there three different times so far within the last few weeks and I'm going to put all of my experiences in this one particular review. It might be long but it'll be worth reading. 10/14/25: I went in to try their chicken and waffles. Something I do whenever I go out to a breakfast is taste their gravy for their biscuits and gravy. It was so good that I got a half order of biscuits and gravy to take home to my wife. Back to the chicken and waffles. They use Belgian waffles for that part and breaded chicken strips with warm maple syrup and a dollop of butter. 10/16/25 My wife and I went in for lunch on this day. She had a Cobb salad I had the fish and fries and I asked him to if they could change the fries to onion rings and they said yes. The Cod was very tasty and the onion rings were the large type and were also very tasty. My wife said the cobb salad okay. Now saying that she Compares all Cobb salads to the one we get at Diego farms in Las Vegas. They have a very very good Cobb salad. 10/27/25 I was ready for another order of chicken and waffles. So my wife and I went to Dad's again. She had the ham steak and eggs with hash browns and I had the chicken and waffles. My wife found her breakfast was very good. We highly recommend DAD'S. I can't say enough for the staff and how they handled everything Sarah, Phoebe and Rose all of the ones that we interacted with and the chef himself. TIP: if you are a person that has trouble ordering eggs where you get the whites done and the yolk soft try ordering them basted.

Vegas steak and eggs, medium scrambled and rye toast.
Douglas V.

A small diner type area in the front and a larger dining room in the back. The place is cleaned and nicely decorated. The service is always attentive and friendly. This is my go-to place for the Vegas steak and eggs. You get a deliciously grilled steak a couple of eggs some really crispy hash browns and toast for a price that would barely cover the steak in the grocery store. There are very nice condiments provided including schmucker's jellies. Plenty of parking.

Chicken fried steak and pancakes

First off friendly service, clean with great ambiance. Hopefully they will continue to add more decorations. Menu selection very good and my breakfast was delicious. Pricing very reasonable, this is going to be my go to place for sure.

Side menu breakfast is amazing.

Las Patronaz is a solid 4-star Mexican restaurant in the dusty small town of Pahrump, NV…read more My daughters' grandparents suggested this place since their number 1 Mexican establishment was closed on Sunday (November 23, 2025). Service was nice and welcoming. The colorful decor and variety of seating was appealing. + Raspberry Teas = $3.90 each + Coke = $3.90 + Strawberry Margarita = $9 + Jalapeno Margarita = $9 + #5 Beef Enchiladas Rancheras = $13.75 + #15 Beef Enchilada And Relleno = $13.25 (I did not love the red enchilada sauce at all. It was too sweet, but the relleno was the bomb!) + #1 Shrimp Tacos = $14.25 + #18 Flautas And Guacamole = $13.25 + #13 Ground Beef Taco And Spinach Enchilada = $13.25 + 1 Guacamole Half Order = $7.75 My other complaints were that I wasn't all that crazy about the location tucked sort of behind Walmart and I hoped for spicier salsa. Still, I would go back with family again for another jalapeno margarita (which was loaded with chopped jalapenos) and maybe try their albondigas.

We recently visited for brunch with my niece and her children…read more We had just gone to Starbucks and picked up a Frappuccino and another iced coffee drink for a treat. Unfortunately, the restaurant has a policy that no outside beverages are allowed. We really didn't understand how strict they were about it, since it's not like they offer anything like a Frappuccino or iced coffee as a beverage. So there's no competition there. My niece had a very awkward conversation with the person who greeted us and it was just overall a very unfortunate interaction. The server looked at me and said "We're not going to have an issue, are we?". She was SO rude and really embarrassed my niece in front of her young children. The food was okay, but I really wish we had just left.

There are plenty of places that serve good food, but very few places make you feel genuinely…read morewelcome every time you walk through the door. That's exactly why Shelly's Bagels has become my favorite breakfast spot. My go-to order is the Asiago bagel with scallion cream cheese, and I honestly crave it. It's fresh, delicious, and consistently excellent. Just as important is the amazing customer service. Missy has a gift for making customers feel appreciated. Her warm smile and positive attitude brighten my mornings, and I know I'm not the only customer who feels that way. In today's world, businesses sometimes forget how important kindness and hospitality are. Shelly's Bagels gets it right. Great bagels, great people, and a place that always leaves me in a better mood than when I arrived. Highly recommended.

I drove here from Vegas for a mini adventure and some NY bagels because this NYer needed some…read moreauthentic bagels in her life. I had some high hopes...but at 11am on a Sunday...the selection is fairly dismal. They said they had a big church crowd and they still had two more hours to go. They close at 1pm in the summer. I understand that Pahrump is not huge and this is a small business so probably when product runs out it runs out. But there were maybe 19 bagels left...I took three. I really wanted to try the cheddar bagel. I am on the hunt for the perfect cheddar bagel. I used to know where to find them, but then they switched the recipe. I'm looking for a cheddar bagel that actually has cheddar inside it not just on top of it that gets burnt when you toast it. I had one with egg and Swiss on it and then I had another one with butter on it, and there was a lot of butter on it. They were not shy with the butter. These bagels were good. Drive an hour to get them good? No. Good if you live in the same area code...yes., I had a blueberry bagel with honey almond cream cheese to go, and I had it later that day and it still tasted really fresh. The honey almond cream cheese was really good. Had a nice flavor, but the blueberry bagel to me tasted just sweet, but I really wouldn't have been able to tell it was blueberry if there weren't a few blue specks in it. They seem to have a really good menu, but they just don't have the stock and like I said part of that is a me issue because I did go later in the day and this is a small business so I do understand that you don't want to waste product, but... don't say you're going to be open until a certain time and have a really slim selection. I wanted an apple fritter they don't have them but if you go on Friday or Saturday, they'll probably have them, but they don't do them on Sundays. Why have it on the menu if you're not gonna do it every day? And then there's a secret menu that's not so secret which is kind of funny to me written on the dry erase board. It should be the not so secret menu. It's not a huge place, but it has some comfortable looking tables there's games there's a little area with some tumblers made by a local artist , the people who were working were extremely friendly. In all honesty I would've given this place 3.5 stars, but I rounded up to a 4 because I don't think they deserve only a three. The bagels seem fairly priced. Right around $5 for a bagel with cream cheese. For three bagels and a drink plus tip it was about $25.00.
