Everything we purchased was good, though the pistachios were not as fresh as they could have been. The staffer was very kind and the whole operation is actually inside a small trailer. There was a good amount of people stopping to get items. They are just off a large road so there is quite a few people who decide to stop last minute so it can be a bit dangerous.

We can strictly for the honey and even got to sample our top 3 choices and ended up going home with Wildflower. Saw this on our way to Death Valley and decided to stop by on our way back. So glad we did and Miguel is a very kind man.

I have idyllic memories of this store from my childhood where starting in 1974 we would stop here…read moreto pick up necessities while visiting my Grandparents who lived in the 'big white house' on Farm Rd. Back then we nicknamed it 'the M & M store' because we were always treated to M & M's. There were inexpensive toys for purchase that we always looked forward to getting during our shopping excursions to help us pass the time. Neighbors relied on this store to get fresh milk and produce and it was a lifesaver as my Grandparents only went to Vegas once a month to shop at a full size grocery store. Over the years I continued to return to this store as an adult when I'd visit the Amargosa, and after my Grandparents died I would visit with Marta Becket in DVJ and get my supplies here. Sunny is a delight and it's been so heartwarming to see this formerly very rough little store turn into a very inviting shop & restaurant. I don't know when it first opened under the original ownership but the fact that it's remained a vital Amargosa Valley market these past 54 years for me is precious. Thank you Martell's for being a constant treasure in my life.

There are multiple small eateries inside with different hours. The main area has a bunch of snacks, including many sugar-free options. They also have toys and some novelties. Not the cheapest, but pretty reasonably priced overall. We tried the coconut dark chocolate haystacks and laffy taffy. The haystacks were really good. So much dark chocolate and nuttiness. The laffy taffy was alright. Prone to melting even at room temperature, but the kids enjoyed most of the flavors. There's also a gas station - very convenient!

Snack Heaven [Beatty NV]…read more During road trips we like to stop by this store for snacks before heading to and out of Las Vegas. More than a convenience store it is a gift shop offering hot food, desserts and bulk candies of all types to satisfy anyone's sweet tooth... it is a specialty shop where you can order fresh sandwiches and other made-to-go items and get your hands on chocolate, beef jerky, nuts, snacks like popcorn, dried fruits, wasabi peas, and more salty treats, and of course, ice cream and just about any type of candy you can dream up. We shared a beef burrito... it was good. The banana split was yummy! They also sell stuffed donkey toys and other souvenir merchandise but you will also see real donkeys there sometimes blocking a gas pump LoL! This is definitely a one-stop shop for gas, candy, ice cream... and donkeys, if you're lucky to find them there while passing through Beatty in Nevada. The cold treats were perfect for triple-digit weather. Review #3962

It's…read moreactually pretty spacious and well-stocked--which, out here, feels like finding an oasis with air conditioning and cold beer. I grabbed beer and souvenirs, but they've got a bit of everything: snacks, sunblock, postcards, T-shirts, hats, probably even a can opener if you begged nicely. Basically, if you forgot it, they probably have it - except milk (unless you want oat or almond - seriously!) Prices? Shockingly reasonable, especially when you're 100+ miles from the nearest Target. And shoutout to Ryan (pretty sure that was his name)--friendly, helpful, and clearly holding the general store together with good vibes and sheer willpower. Definitely worth a stop. Just try not to spend your life savings on desert-themed merch (no promises). Restrooms, tables outside and a gas station next door - not bad... 4.5 stars

Again, it's a nice stop to relax and recharge... too many people blast thru this national treasure of wonderment at top speeds, both in terms of MPH and racing the clock. Enjoy the ride.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Well-heeled bar in a beautiful historic hotel…read more A friend had recommended their martinis, and they sure sounded great after a dusty 7 mile hike! The bar was beautifully maintained, like the rest of the hotel, and luckily they must be used to weary, wind-whipped hikers rolling in, because the bartender didn't bat an eye and treated us very courteously despite our disheveled appearance. The said martinis were excellent, and we ended up getting some food as well: Sandia salad (watermelon, arugula, queso) fresco--very refreshing) and caramelized Brussels sprouts (tasty, but a bit over-oily). Prices are in line with what you'd expect at a fancy hotel, but it was a wonderful reward after a long day out in the park.

We have not crossed Death Valley for at least 15 years. We arrived at Furnace Creek Ranch, finding a slick international tourist destination. The dining room of old was gone, we found nothing in our drive through that bespoke "Dining Room." If one does not bring victuals or eat at a Death Valley property, or have a large supply of personal water, it is a long journey between the Lone Pine-Olancha megalopolis and Shoshone, Beatty, or Pahrump. The Timbisha Shoshone have inhabited the Valley and surrounding region for centuries. That is another story. Looking for a place to stop we found "The Inn at Death Valley, formerly Fyrnace Creek, a unit of The Oasis at Death Valley on the grade out of The Valley. The Timbisha lodged here first, along a creek. A date farm followed, then a Fine Hotel. It is Fine. It has clearly marked dining, with dining hours posted. It also has a golf course, creek fed pool, etc. The Inn is a 20th century tourism classic. Architecture, is Spanish SW modern, original adobe, Shoshone-made. The beamed lobby and dining room are floored with saltillo tile spaced with small talavera tile beauties, maintained, gleaming, perfect. Do you enjoy the art and photography of 19th and 20th century Western Art? The Inn at Death Valley is a gallery of the early west's best jnown artists, plus a guide sheet for Bierstadt, Russell,Remington, Miller, Dixon and many more. We arrived in the dining room about 1:30, 30 minutes before dining room closing. The staff were all helpful, many modern "Harvey Girls" interns from university hospitality programs or hired through Xanterra's web page. Our food. Three Sisters soup - corn, beans, squash, seasonings. It was fine. A visitor from Europe or Far East might savor it. I suggest Xanterra send a chef on an internship among Southwest Pueblos or hire a Native American Chef. AmericanRails.com writes, "The (Harvey) houses were designed to appeal to all classes of society, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner being served at set times. Meals were prepared using fresh, locally sourced produce,..." The Timbisha people could provide great tips in local foods, including mesquite, pinon pine nuts, some atriplex (spinach cousins) etc. We split a burger - double patty house special cheeseburger. We requested no cheese. It arrived with cheese. We ordered the celebrated sweet potato fries. First, regarding local food products; the region has a few stellar cattle ranches. Xanterra I encourage you to send a chef to Phoenix's 5th Avenue Cafe to learn what excellent sweet potato fries are all about, them move on to Hamburger Works or My Mother's restaurant, Bobby Q's or even Longhorn Steakhouse to create a flavorful, grilled, thoughtful hamburger. I favor desserts. With coffee. Coffee excellent. Flourless chocolate cake, decent. Hotel 5 Architecture and art, 5 Food - good enough, not great.
