    We were staying the night and ordered both dinner and breakfast here. The restaurant is small but has booths and tables and quick service. The staff were very friendly and the menu is huge. We enjoyed everything that we had: fried chicken, cheeseburger, veggie omelet and blueberry pancakes. Prices are reasonable.

    Philly cheesesteak
    Megha D.

    My family and I were visiting Death Valley National Park and were looking for dinner in the area. Our hotel recommended Longstreet Casino's restaurant so we checked it out. There was a heavy smell of manure outside the restaurant but inside, it was clean and lively! Our waitress was super nice and welcoming and sat us in a booth quickly. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak for dinner. It was hot and toasty and I loved all the melty cheese on it. We also decided to split a slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream afterwards for dessert. It was so delicious and sweet. Overall, solid American diner in a pretty remote spot so can't ask for anything more!!

    Jalapeño burger

    Food (3.25/5): On two different nights, I had the Wild West Jalapeno Burger, Big Sampler, Baked Potato, Valley Grande Nachos, and Philly Cheesesteak. I also tried the spaghetti and meatballs and chicken parm--both pasta dishes were complete misses. The burger itself was okay, but I was expecting the jalapeños to be sliced and added to the burger as opposed to one big jalapeño on the side. The big sampler was underwhelmingly small and mediocre. The valley grande nachos were decently sized but the flavor was a miss--at least the added jalapeños were sliced. The Philly cheesesteak and baked potato were decent fortunately--the saving grace to not rate the food lower. Service (3.5/5): The staff seemed friendly. However, they were very inattentive in stopping by and refilling water; they seemed quite busy on the Saturday and Sunday night I visited since I was staying in the casino hotel. Ambiance (3.5/5): This restaurant is located within the casino hotel and was quite busy the two weekend nights while I stayed at the casino to explore Death Valley. The casino itself smells like cigarettes, but the restaurant was pretty clean, and the booth seats are very comfy. It was a convenient spot to eat at to end our Death Valley adventures.

    Chicken Parmesan
    David C.

    This review is inflated by the fact that dining options are very limited in Death Valley. Be careful what you order here! Some menu items are okay, while some menu items taste like they were added only for menu variety. The chicken parmesan was just breaded chicken with parmesan cheese grated on top. The pasta and marinara was pretty much the equivalent of store boxed linguini and heated up jar sauce. My friends who ordered the chopped steak said it was more like a cooked beef hamburger patty. I would say the sandwiches and burgers here are pretty good! The crinkle cut fries are average. If a choice of potatoes is given, baked potato or mashed potatoes are probably the move. Amidst all of the disappointments regarding the food, the booth seats are comfy, the servers here are nice (albeit a bit understaffed), and this was a welcome rest dinner after a day of hiking in Death Valley.

    Big Jim's rib eye steak!

    Got the touted Big Jim's rib eye steak and it was not as fatty or oily as other high end steakhouses. It even had a pleasant char on the edges. Lots of brown gravy over a big scoop of mashed potatoes. Veg medley. The star was the steak that made the sides pale in contrast. Coffee was very good here.

    This emoji perfectly sums up our experience, but let us elaborate. 1. The restaurant closed 20 minutes early when there are no food options within a considerable drive, while a dozen or so "customers" were waiting to be served. 2. Hostess was very rude and unapologetic on her first day with the restaurant. Clearly she is not the right fit. Fortunately, the experienced Alexia stepped in. 3. The burger was a frozen patty from the local supermarket and the fries are the Ore Ida Golden Crinkle variety. 4. Food was WAY overpriced. 5. Service was not done in the order of arrival. We received our order before a group that arrived 30 minutes before us. 6. Food served in polystyrene to-go containers. Seriously! 7. Cigarette smoke from casino lingers in the restaurant and there is a cigarette vending machine a mere 20-feet away. 8. Lesson learned. We should have grabbed snacks from the hotel gift shop for dinner.

    Very decent food in the middle of nowhere. Located inside Longstreet Inn Casino & RV Resort where we were staying, so it was convenient for us to grab both dinner and breakfast here while visiting Death Valley National Park. Wings and fries, fish and chips and two egg breakfast weren't bad. Wished the fries were hot and fresh, but they weren't terrible. We ordered takeout and ate in our room because it's located next to the casino, so it smelled of cigarettes. On Friday night, they had live music, which was cool.

    So I was a little confused as the place listed is not the same place that is here anymore. Its now…read morean Indian restaurant called Punjahi Dhaba. 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.
