This place is connected to a gift shop, and it was the perfect stop to cool off from the heat. Walking inside and feeling the air conditioning was such a relief! They have a selection of cold drinks, candy, snacks, and even food like nachos. The staff was very friendly. I recommend you come to cool down and support the business. read more

The Hoover Dam Cafe has been a hiking tradition when I partake in my round-trip hike on the Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail which brings me onto the Hoover Dam. This self-service Cafe is the only restaurant serving the Hoover Dam excluding the one all the way up the overlook on the Arizona side, which is a dangerous and long walk to the dam. The Hoover Dam Cafe is located around the corner from the bottom of the stairs and elevator that transports visitors and hikers between both the parking structure and Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail to the Hoover Dam. It is a stone's throw to the visitor center and a fastball to the Arizona state line. Being that this is the main restaurant serving the Hoover Dam and in the heart of the action, the prices are so astronomical that you just might say the "d" word that follows "Hoover." Looking at the menu I saw all food and drink items sold at astronomical prices where it just made sense to buy a snack and save my appetite for a nicer meal in Boulder City. Or it just made sense to fill up for breakfast in Boulder City. The menu prices included a cheeseburger combo for around $17 and a bottomless Pepsi for $5. However, this did not stop me from treating myself to a hot pretzel with cheese. The price was $5. Being that I was on top of this engineering marvel looking up at another engineering marvel called the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge, I was really enjoying a pretzel that would be considered decent in an ordinary environment. The cheese was a little cup that I dipped the pretzel in. The pretzel wasn't a four star hot and soft one. I would rate it as solid in an environment that I am a fan of. If I did not have the water bottle with me, I probably would have brought a Pepsi or water. If the Hoover Dam Cafe was a full service restaurant like the Big Horn Cafe up on Mount Charleston, I could see spending some money to eat in a full service restaurant in a breathtaking environment. However, it is a restaurant that really seems more like a snack bar than a Cafe, where you order at the counter and they call your name. Taking into consideration that this was a stop on an eight-plus round trip hike, I sat inside the restaurant which was expectantly fairly busy. Now if I did buy a cheeseburger combo and arrived by a vehicle, I would have sat at an outside umbrella table that affords far better views of the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge than the dam proper. And if I lived far away, perhaps I would have brought a souvenir in the attached gift shop. If my round-trip hikes on the Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail to Hoover Dam persist, I forsee a mid-hike break in the Hoover Dam Cafe. Let's face it, a pretzel with cheese really hits the spot when you are hiking in the desert. read more

The food is good but the pretzels are cheap. The service was average and the food took long. It was really loud and crammed in there. read more

in my opinion, having to find a delicious foodie gem at a touristy location is such a wonderful thing. Yes, we were doing the touristy thing by stopping in to Hoover dam tour when I found myself in this 'Dam Cafe'. Everything here seemed fairly ordinary and like any other tourist trap. Except this one has proved me completely wrong. Ordered a burger and triple decker truly without much expectation. Paid the tourist price for each dish and waited a while. I noticed when I was picking up the food. Hefty! plates were not light like I expected them to be. Portions were very generous. Burger was juicy and actually delicious! But the french fries under the burger were even better . Yum... couldn't believe this was a burger being served at a tourist cafe. Patties were decently thick and cooked just right (Not a fan of over cooked meat). Triple decker was very generous in portion with lots of bacon, good slices of tomatoes and lots of shredded lettuce. Bread was nicely toasted and did not taste stale. It's such a wonderful feeling when you can actually get a delicious meal that justifies the spending at a touristy place. read more

We had a dam great lunch at the cafe! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was excellent. I had a chicken Caesar wrap, the chicken was seasoned and cooked really well, My partner had the Dam Burger which was also top notch with super fresh produce and again cooked to perfection. Although this is a place for a quick lunch, in a location that you may not expect great food or service, we were really impressed with both. Great job!!! read more

I stop by the Hoover Dam Cafe for a quick kunch as I waited for my DAM tour. The place is a greasy diner with a spectacular view. Classical diner menu with some sparse healthier additions for those watching their calories. We had both their breakfast burrito and double cheeseburger and fries. Neither was remarkable in any shape or form. If this was a restaurant in town, particularly in Vegas, you wouldn't drive out of your way to eat here. What is remarkable and much appreciated about the Hoover Dam Cafe is how affordable it is. You don't need to break the bank if you are hungry and have an hour or so to kill before your DAM tour. That can't be said about many touristy spots nowadays. Hopefully the future brings aome gourmet additions to the menu. read more

I made the mistake of not stopping to eat before I got here. I shared a cheese dam burger. Funny how the food here had Dam in it. Loved it! Luckily at 12pm there was not much of a line. After ordering you wait for your order to come out from the grill unless you get an item from the fridge (salads, wraps,etc). We stood up and a couple offered their table. We thanked them. There are not many tables to sit at inside and they did have more tables outside to sit at. I wanted to sit indoor since it was so hot out there. I enjoyed the air conditioning. The cheeseburger was decent and so were the fries. You can't beat the convenience of having this place here. I agree with the other reviews the prices may be high. read more

So irritated. We came in at 3:45 to see the sign "Kitchen Closed". But you're open until 5. Why bother being open?

Really, packaged everything, nothing special about getting a bite to eat at the Cafe. Every table was empty. Guess when nobody can take a tour since they have been suspended, there are no desire to hang around and get a bite to eat. read more

Wasn't expecting much, assuming that it was just a place to feed as many people as possible. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was good. I really enjoyed the onion rings, since they were the beer batter type. A little expensive, but if you need a quick bite after walking around the dam, this is a good choice. read more

There wasn't much places to eat so my suggestion would be to eat before heading to Hoover Dam. But if you do eat there the order could take quite a while with just one cook the time I had made my visit. I had ordered the Dam Burger and to much surprise the burger was pretty hot and decent size burger. read more

If needed a quick snack, it's fine. We were hungry after all the walking and exploring. A couple of burgers with fries and soda cost over $40. The fries were cold and the burger lacked flavor. My companion got mozzarella sticks and they were cold. The location is beautiful, the amenities are clean and well thought out. The servers and friendly and nice but, the food is lacking. read more

Yes this place deserves 5 stars. I didn't go bankrupt from purchaisng food in a tourists attraction. We had a 1/2 lb. hot dog and a burger to share. The burger came on a roll rather then standard cheap bun. The horndog was very delicious and juicy. The fries were absolutely delicious. I'm telling you this meal was on a level of a burger spot in NYC. read more

I'm a fan of quality over quantity and was foreseeing disappointment with the 1/2 pound hotdog. It was actually very flavorful with each bite and surely satisfied all hunger.

I'd be Dam-ned if I passed up a place like this for a Short Lunch. Halfway through our trip, instead of going to the Grand Canyon we decided to drive 40 minutes to go to the Hoover Dam (I didn't see Clark Griswold climbing on it). The place has got like a High School Cafeteria feeling to it, we just order our Food, they give us a Number then when the Food is ready. After picking out Souvenirs for the Family we decided to get a bite to eat. I got the Dam Dog (this thing was freakin Big), It was 1/2 Pound Weenie made from Beef & Pork. I ate it with no condiments whatsoever, with every bite I took those juices kept dripping down my Chin. It was so big I couldn't finish it (maybe I shouldn't have eaten those Fries). It was a Valiant effort and a Dam good one at that. Nathan got a Quesadilla with Rice and Refried Beans (Nathan enjoyed the Quesadilla very well, picked it up like a Sandwich and ate it in just a few Bites, he said that the Rice was ok, One Dimensional in Flavor. He said there was no way that he was gonna touch those Refried Beans, says they'll mess up his Stomach). Its not a 5 Star Gourmet Restaurant (far from it) its got that Greasy Spoon feel to it. Next time I visit I'm gonna get a Damn Burger. read more

Came in over a packed presidents day weekend. Despite the remote location, the cafe has a sizeable menu of serviceable food options, and even outdoor seating. Friendly, if not fast, service. The cafe is in real need of an expansion to serve the throngs of tourists that flock to the dam. Unfortunately space on the dam is quite limited, so there is no immediately clear solution. read more

I never realized there was a cafe at the Hoover Dam. This place was packed and I was a little nervous trying their food but it was pretty good. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable because of the portions of the food. I got a Dam Dog 1/2 lb, buffalo chili fries, and a breakfast burrito (egg, cheese, ham, and bacon). They were all delicious. read more

If the weather is great, eat outside and enjoy the view! Since it's always nearly 100 degrees outside, I'm sure they make bank on selling smoothies. Do not buy a smoothie if you're expecting real fruit. They also water down quick (even indoors), and some contain milk. Food is pretty standard as far as fried food and burgers you can find at a festival. Surprisingly, their country fried steak and 2 eggs (cooked your way) + toast is great. Military discount 50% off, so bring your ID! read more

Food took a minute, but it was delicious when we got it. Staff was friendly, and prices were great, there was a bunch of seating outside which was also nice. Definitely go support if you are visiting the Hoover Dam! read more

The place has a nice menu with a great variety and a lot of choices for a lot of different tastebuds. I got the fish and chips, chicken fried steak and eggs and the dinner salad. Everything was amazing!! The chicken fried steak and eggs was 7.99!!!! An absolute steak and it came with toast too! The portion size was solid!! Love this spot and it was right at the DAM so I was hungry and then ate hella quick and easy read more

While visiting Hoover Dam I stopped here for a bite to eat. This was the absolute WORST Philly Cheesesteak sandwich I've ever had in my entire life, completely inedible - $12.99 plus tax to add insult to injury. Just look at the picture, you can tell! Greasy, burnt, thin unflavored meat with chunks of peppers, an onion or two, very little cheese, no mayo or ketchup. I took a small bite of the meat and it was totally disgusting, my husband took a bite and his face told it all...it took us a few minutes of eating other stuff to get the burnt taste out of our mouth. The fries were mediocre at best. read more

This cafe is conveniently located right outside the parking garage for the Hoover Dam. Considering they are the only place around for miles it is very nice. Once inside there is a small gift shop where I purchased some post cards to mail to family back home. Than I quickly went to the cafe portion and got on line for a bottled water to go. The line moved quickly and the water is well priced considering we are in the middle of no where and part desert they could charge you anything but they don't. Needed to get in and out quickly as we were on schedule. So much to do and so little time. I would definitely make a stop here again if I was in the neighborhood as I said not much choice around and they have the essentials of what ypu need if you are driving through or visiting the Hoover Dam. read more

Being the only business around the Hoover Dam, this place was super busy. My boyfriend and I were super hungry from not eating breakfast and heading straight to the dam, so we decided to grab a bite to eat. The food is very overpriced as expected, being in a touristy area like this. Our food was okay. We ordered the chicken strips that came with a side of fries, and we ordered an extra side of fries; the total came out to be almost $20. The fries were just cheap frozen bags of fries that anyone can get at a grocery store. The chicken was very thin like the took a meat tenderizer and smashed the heck out of it. The inside of the cafe was crowded, but there was seating outside with umbrellas so it wasn't bad. The cashier that took our food order was nice too. The menu was next to her register, and they have stickers covering up the old prices. All the pictures on here of the menu had old prices. Once we were at the cafe, we saw that everything was about a dollar more. read more

$10 for salad, ouch. Eat before you come or be prepared to spend a lot on food stand quality food.

Well I earned the sticker "I ate the DAM DOG at Hoover Dam", which they gave me when I ordered their 1/2 # hot dog. I really shouldn't have ordered this monster, but I had to see what it was like. Well at $9.99 this is the most expensive single dog I've ordered & I'm kinda of a hot dog nut. I didn't realize it came on a bed of pretty good fries. So the price was a little easier to digest, but only a little bit. The actual dog looked like the Miller brand "Colossal", but the taste was actually much better than the Miller. I don't know what brand dog they use here. It was prepared on one of those rolling hot dog cookers, but finished off by a cook on a grill, which I stood in front of & watched. Everything on their menu & in the drink fridges, was overpriced. At the least the hot dog tasted great. My son loved his chicken strips & fries, keeping with his traditional dining fare. My daughter horked on the fries. Well they do get you in the wallet since the High Scaler is the only place to eat in the area. I suppose they have to pay for all the added post 9-11 security to protect the Dam from the enemy. I recall not about 15+ years ago or so (pre 9-11) the dam tour cost about $1.50, now it was $11 per adult, $8 for kids. More post 9-11 security expense... Anyway if you're a hot dog fan, definitely give the Dam Hot Dog a try after you tour the dam. Just walk back & forth across the dam a few times to burn off the excess calories & fat. It did taste good tho! Try to arrive for the early 0900 or 0930 tours. After that it looks like everyone shows up. read more

We really enjoyed our meal here!! Honestly, yes it's a bit pricey for the type of food you're getting but it's fair when you consider where you're at. You're eating right on site of the Hoover Dam. And while it may seem pricey, the food is very good and great portions! read more
