    Chicken fried steak, biscuit & gravy, skillet with soft scrambled eggs
    Amber S.

    We are in town visiting my mom for Mother's Day weekend. Food was excellent! My mom and I got the skillet and my husband got the chicken fried steak. Service was great and our waitress was very sweet and friendly! The decor inside is fun to look at and definitely and diner environment. Definitely now one of our top places in town and will come back!

    My first time trying Mom's Diner after visiting Death Valley. Mom and Pop style sit down restaurant. Food is cheap for the quality. The crew was friendly and really fast service. I would eat here again if i ever come back.

    Decided to have breakfast here and we were very pleased with service and food. The atmosphere is nice with lots of interesting things on the walls, staff friendly and attentive (they are the awesome and consistent with coffee refills), menu selection and prices good, and food great. We got seated immediately and our order taken quickly. Overall, we had a very good experience and definitely would return.

    We stopped here on our way back to Vegas from Death Valley to me the good reviews and fewer options at Death Valley. We checked in upon entering and had to wait 15 minutes before being seated, but they were accurate about that. Some people didn't know to check in, so I would suggest that they have a sign to check in at the front so that people don't waste their time. We were very impressed with the food. We had the two eggs plate with a biscuit and hash browns and my partner had the chicken fried steak with a biscuit and hash brown. The hash browns were very crispy while the biscuits were very fresh, flaky and buttery. We also got a side of fresh salsa for the chicken steak and it had a nice kick to it. Everything was made to perfection and the staff were also very friendly and helpful. Prices are very reasonably for just over $30 for two breakfasts (including tip). Prices are very affordable. This is the kind of place where the staff call their regular patrons by their names. There's also some cute decor all throughout the restaurant and it is a great representation of the quintessential American diner.

    The food was mediocre at the best. Maybe next time we'll have to try out the hamburgers... We tried breakfast (Kitchen sink omelette, Deuces plate). The omelette was very runny with the egg and "wet like" veggies. It didn't taste very well, bland. Pancakes were massive, but just not tasty like I'd expect. I feel like they need to work on their flavor. Our waitress was also less than with her attitude and service; just seemed like another day and another dollar. Could have been much more "friendly", smiling.... I'll come back once more...maybe... and try the burgers?! That is... they were voted "Best Burger 2024" in Pahrump...?

    This was my first time to Pahrump, NV and I had to stop by this place. Just by their interior decor felt like the 20's-30's vintage vibe. They have really cool vintage signs throughout their dining room and even in the bathroom!! I met the owner Brett, and just him spending the time to share his story in the midst of a crowded restaurant, made me feel like he really cares about his customers and for his community. 90 percent of the locals are either former military, law enforcement, or EMS. And what better way to serve the community then serving those who have or currently serve. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. Everyone works hard to ensure each customer is greeted, served and taken care of. I ordered "The Skillet" with bacon and it was delicious! The bacon was crispy and the eggs were cooked over easy. As I cut into them the yoke was mixed in with the onions, peppers, and cheese bringing the entire dish together. I will have to make another trip out to Pahrump just to eat at Mom's diner. Brett, I will be back brother....

    When I would come here for the winter, this is one shot I'd always east at multiple times, it's part of thr Pahrump experience! Great food, good atmosphere, excellent service, all in a local institution. Even today, on a Monday, every table is full. It's great seeing that the only thing that's changed is the prices. Today ordered the chicken fried steak, it was a delicious as remember. The gravy was a bit less tasty than I remember though enjoyed large sausage pieces. Normally don't care for potatoes, these actually had some flavor to them. Next time in town will be coming back, a Pahrump institution!

    Mom's Diner is a local gem that everyone talks & raves about! It's a super cute vintage & historically influenced theme sit down with so many cool Knick knacks; it definitely keeps you occupied for a while! The place was packed and you could see that the energy & how people felt were content with their meals. We ordered two chicken cordon blue sandwiches to go & they were delightful!

    biscuits and gravy

    found this hidden gem in the back streets off the main highway. As avid travelers, we are always looking for those off-the beaten-path eateries, Mom's Diner is one of those places. as you walk in, you are greeted by a cow-bench which just invites you to take a seat and enjoy the many things they have on display to look at on the walls. As you enter the main area, you are verbally greeted by the friendly staff with a smile. The interior offers both booths and tables for your dine-in experience. The portions are very satisfying(pancakes are Huge!!) and the prices are very moderate (more on the lower side compared to other places I have visited which serve the same type of food. I saw alot of great reviews for the burgers but we ended up going for the bfast. The food was delicious, we really enjoyed the flavor in every bite, from the eggs to the orange juice it had great taste and seasoning. overall, this place was great, with awesome food, and friendly staff, definitely highly recommended! I will return to try those burgers..

    Texas Benedict.
    Jimmy T.

    Exterior and interior are clean and in good repair. Decor changes every 6-8 linear feet: Route 66 to railroads to Harley to John Deere to... Texas Benedict is two open face biscuit halves, sausage patty, poached egg, and sausage gravy with a side of hash browns. They done great!

    Special after breakfast treat!

    Great place for comfort food. Good food. Good prices. I have been going here since the big remodel…read moreafter Terribles took over. Can't go wrong for breakfast lunch or dinner. On this visit I had the baked potato with bbq pork, sour cream, chives, and butter. A meal in itself for about $11. Another favorite of mine is the Smash Burger. For breakfast the large ham and eggs or steak and eggs. Servers are great, restaurant is clean.

    I ordered what should have been a solid piece of BBQ beef, but what I got was extremely…read moredisappointing. The meat was noticeably overcooked--dry, tough, and lacking any real moisture or tenderness. Instead of a juicy interior, it had that gray, stringy texture that usually means it sat too long or was cooked well past its prime. To make matters worse, it was heavily covered in sauce, which felt more like an attempt to hide the dryness than enhance the flavor. Good BBQ shouldn't need to be drowned in sauce to be edible. The exterior had some char, but there was no balance--no rich, rendered fat, no melt-in-your-mouth texture, just dryness throughout. For something that should be a highlight item, this missed the mark completely. I was expecting flavorful, tender BBQ. What I got instead was overworked, dried-out meat that felt like it had been sitting under a heat lamp far too long. Definitely not worth the price, and not something I'd order again.
