Moonshiners - Chicken tenders and fries - American Near Me - Pahrump, Nevada

I ordered what should have been a solid piece of BBQ beef, but what I got was extremely disappointing. 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. read more

The only thing good about our experience this trip was our service. Our server was super nice, heartfelt smile and you could tell she really was trying her best. However, we ordered a brisket dinner, a three-meat dinner with brisket, ribs and hot turkey, and a catfish dinner. for the sides we ordered, onion rings, fries, green beans, mac n cheese, pork red beans and coleslaw. The mac was old and cold, obviously sat out forever. The coleslaw was absolutely flavorless, might has well have just ordered bowl of vinegar pour over cabbage, the green beans were over cooked but edible, Our brisket had more fat on it then cellulite on a buffalo, and was flavorless. Usually, the catfish is hit and miss but it was in parr tonight and the sliced turkey with gravy was tender and cooked well. Our server did replace the macaroni with a side of fries. She would not let us order something different for the coleslaw because a lot of people just don't like it. LOL Well thats is ok. The benefits of coming here last night was that there was No lines! In fact there was only one other table with people eating. Which usually would mean they have time to make your food properly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very clean, not even a fingerprint along the buffet window.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pleasantly quiet, so it gave us time to catch up on family discussions over dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She did keep our drinks full and fresh lemon on top each time she refiled them as asked. She made our bad experience better simply with her smile and friendly personality. But I'm sad to know we tried to have a nice family dinner at a place in town rather than our favorite spots and it turned sour. Keep the server, ditch the cook or teach him to cook, and reorganize your menu. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very peaceful with minimal children.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server (Tam) is awesome. When she sees me walk in she already has my bottle of cholula waiting for my fries. Ordered the brisket with fries and beans. read more

Food and service were amazing!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only drawback is that the restaurant was in the casino with cigarette smell in an open restaurant environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came in late because we drove 4 hours from California to get to Pahrump. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We left with our cloths just smelling awful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They should've thought about enclosing the restaurant to keep out that smell while you are eating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food was awful, service was worse. We had to ask twice for water, I had pasta and it was so dry I asked for extra marinara sauce and it took almost 10 minutes for him to bring it to me and by that time my dinner was cold. When we left and cashier asked how our meal was I told her it was awful and she just laughed !!!! If I could give this place a minus star I would. read more

Some of the girls definitely could go, out others are worth coming back for! Hopefully they find some clean looking young adults! Amazing food! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, great service, short wait time for a Friday evening, and location is great too being inside a casino.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the soup and salad bar as well as the 1/2 bbq chicken with two sides. Everything was great, and we had no issues. read more

Wow what happend to our local favorite place? [[HIGHLIGHT]]We have not been here in a while due to work schedule and came in to a deserted diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Should have taken the hint because this place was always packed. Food prices went up and the wait for food was over thirty minutes. Got the steak and eggs and the steak was super small with mostly fat. Asked for medium rare but steak was tough. Portions on hash browns was super small and food was cold, most likely from sitting to long in the back. So sad when this was our go to place for a delicious affordable meal that now is over priced and not worth the wait. read more

2 stars overall. Food - one start, actually zero. The BBQ was the worst I have ever had. It was actually scary to eat it. Scared I would get food poisoning and get sick. All kinds of red flags went up when the BBQ meats came out with BBQ sauce poured all over it. You can see from the photo I'll share the three meat platter. It looks like mystery meat. One of them is baby back ribs and another was cold brisket. The ribs were very thin and very tough. Dried out, probably from sitting around for several days. The Brisket was cold, and absolutely horrible. The quarter chicken was so dry and tough it was not edible. Their menu and photos show house made French fries from fresh cut potatoes. Nope. They were just regular ole frozen fries. Sprinkled with what they might think is magic dust. They weren't bad but they were definitely not fresh. I chose this place because I do love BBQ but I selected this BBQ joint for the fresh cut fries over other places. The employees were nice until I asked about the fries and then one actually insisted that those were the good fries. Another said they have never had fresh cut fries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I liked the atmosphere, but it was inside of a snaky little casino.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Right now I am back at my hotel, hoping that I do not wake up in the middle of the night sick. Before you dismiss this review, look at my other reviews and you will see that I leave mostly positive reviews. Way more five star reviews than any other type of review. read more

This place definitely could have been better. However, we were seated right away and orders taken. That was good. Noticing brisket was on the menu, we both ordered the brisket plate. We smoke our own plus have tasted it all across the southern states. We love good brisket. Once our plates were delivered it was the last time we saw our server until we needed a box and then, we had to get another server to get it for us. We never got a refill even tho' both glasses were empty. We also had to walk up to the register to be given our bill as it was not delivered even tho' we had asked another server for it. Now the food. Potatoes, corn and mac'n cheese were very good but not so the brisket. It had a good smoke ring but it was tough. There was also a BBQ sauce drizzled across the brisket. It should be tender, tasty and not need the sauce to hide the flavor. We were very disappointed but took it home. Our dog loved it. Sorry but not a place we would return to. read more

Great place for comfort food. Good food. Good prices. I have been going here since the big remodel after 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Servers are great, restaurant is clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Moonshiners is in the Terrible's Road House casino and has great barbecue! Stopped for late lunch after a hike and had the chopped brisket sandwich - with the sandwiches you get a choice of one side and it comes with extra BBQ sauce & a small cole slaw. The BBQ sauce is great and so is the bread it comes with...Texas Toast! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, the staff was attentive and the decor was cool...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]if you are in the Pahrump area...go down Pahrump Valley Blvd off the main road and stop here for some good BBQ. read more

The food is just plain horrible. If they served breakfast all day I would go there more, but I don't like smoke flavor it makes me ill just smelling the over kill on smoke flavor. read more

Service, food and price. Best deal in town for breakfast and their daily dinner specials can't be beat.

Food and service were good. Fries were cold and very small. They need to use bigger fries and serve them hot not cold. Also had onion rings and they were very good and hot. Potato salad was excellent as was my patty melt. My husband's pulled pork was good. Had so much had to take home half. There was no wait to be seated. Could be because we were there on a Sunday read more

Ok food . Great staff service. Good prices for food . Daily weekday specials. Quick service for seating and service.

Fantastic food at reasonable prices. I come to Pahrump at least 3 times a year to visit family. I love this place.

The inside seems small but there's a lot of seating. It has a bunch of decoration and things to look at. It's very nice inside. The servers were having a bad day it seemed like so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this time around and let it slide. It happens. The food was great though! I swear we could eat here forever! The meat was good. The mac and cheese was good, the baby enjoyed that, as well as the green beans. We will definitely be coming back. read more

Food was excellent! Stopped in and had the fried catfish again, with the Moonshiners seasoned fries and coleslaw. Again, the waitress made a recommendation that was spot on; mayo based slaw instead of vinegar. Good call, although I will ask for a little extra mayo as it was just a little dry; but, still good. Loved it all! Service was good; lady who seated me is always delightful. My waitress was very nice and helpful. Again brought ranch dressing to dip my fries. Loved that combo from the first time. I have yet to try the salad and soup bar; but, that will have to be another time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the spaciousness of the whole restaurant and the decor is fun to look at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It has been a pleasure to dine there every time I've been there and always look forward to when I get a chance to go back. read more

WOW! The pulled pork plate is southern barbecue quality! Sauce is tangy sweet and smoky, the meat is juicy and the ends are crispy with flavor! My now favorite restaurant in Pahrump! read more

Waited almost an hour to be seated. After we were we waited another 15 minutes for drinks and then another 20 minutes for our order to be taken. Food was cold. not a very good experience. I know it was a holiday, but if they could not accommodate us then why seat us? At least, if the food had been up to par, it wouldn't have been such a bad experience. Don't think I will ever go back there, and I used to love to go there for the barbecue. Very disappointing. read more

Ok... I don't know where and how should I start. But I really would like to say most of the servers had an attitude, especially the one with a tattoo on her cheek (we did not check her name)... she did not even want to serve or help in one word. She gave us the rudest and the most negative energy we had ever got from any server that led to another server to help us instead with a better way ...... how disappointing .. We were visiting Pahrump, and many people recommended "Moonshiners" telling us how amazing they are and have the best food.. To be honest, the food was not good. I could not eat what I ordered, same as 2 of my friends. There were mistakes in the order, not only 1. Unfortunately, I do not have many words to mention... I was very upset that I did not even want to take a picture of my order.. all I wanted was to leave... On my next trip to Pahrump, I don't think I will be coming here or even trying a different dish.. read more

Good prices. Nice Staff! NYsteak every Wednesday $14.99 with 2 sides. Porterhouse every day $19.99.

Love their breakfast. Their bbq rib special used to be delicious but the last couple times there wasn't as much meat and not as tender. I used to love their seasoned fries but I heard they got rid of them. Not sure but the breakfast can't be beat! Good service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Smoky in the casino but not bad in the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Go check it out! read more

First time back here in about three years. Basically the same menu except much much higher prices ! The menus on line here in reviews done reflect the current prices you can add at least 40% to all old prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff is friendly and attentive place is clean over all aside from having to walk through a smoke filled casino to enjoy your food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices were a bit high for that the food is. Tastes ok, had brisket nothing to rave about fries were good other sides ok. Soda was decent small glasses though and over priced. Lunch for two with tip $40 probably won't be repeating here. read more

A busy Casino and a busy restaurant in that Terrible's Casino. Their salad buffet has just opened. I love brisket and their brisket sandwich did not disappoint. That mesquity smoky sweet flavor permeated the meat and the bbq sauce only embellished, not overpowered that special flavor. Also, I adore that creamy, smooth and soft macncheese side. Worth the stop. read more
