Came for late lunch after Hoover Dam tour. Seated quickly, staff was friendly and attentive. Ordered the Breakfast Special #1, buddy had the Kyles Burger, and son ordered a kids cheeseburger. Breakfast Special hit the spot. Biscuits were fluffy and gravy had a great texture and flavor. Buddy liked the BBQ sauce on the Kyles, burger was cooked well and was juicy. Kiddo really enjoyed his kids cheese burger (was actually 2 small ones). read more

Good food and WONDERFUL service but a bowl of chili, entree and kids meal ran us over $40... I was obsessed with the Chile relleno breakfast casserole that came with wonderfully crunchy hash browns to pair with the decadently cheesy dish. We got the banana bread on the side to eat later - it was fine but when I saw à la carte it goes for $6, I wouldn't recommend it My kiddos were ok about their meal. My bowl of chili was good but was hoping for a piece of bread or something to go with it in this seemingly homey, small town diner Prices felt a little tourist trappy but looking around the venue, there seemed to be better special deals but we just didn't quite align with the timing or times offered read more

I have been to Southwest Diner a number of times over the years, just not in the last five years. Since my last visit, they took over the suite next door and expanded. Food Southwest Diner has a pretty large breakfast and lunch menu. We came right around the brunch window, so I went with breakfast. I went with the Breakfast Special #2, which is two pancakes, one egg, and bacon or sausage. I went with coffee to drink, which was served in a fun coffee cup that looks like a pot. The food was good, not great. The pancakes were the star. 3.5/5 Service The service was pretty good with as busy as they were. Staff were friendly and attentive and our drinks and food came out quickly. 4.5/5 Ambiance Southwest Diner nails the diner feel. Their expansion feels really nice and they pay tribute to Boulder City. They have a section where you can buy pies and cakes as well as other nick knacks. 4/5 Southwest Diner is definitely worth checking out. They sell many dishes with a southwestern flare that are worth trying. 4/5 read more

This was a fun stop in Boulder City . The food was good and so was the service . The almost 4 dollars for a fountain drink was not fun. They have plenty of options and even a bakery next door with pies . It's definitely worth checking out if you're near by . read more

First responders of all sorts. Thank you ! Are you a firefighter, police, sheriff, paramedic they have a wall of honor all for your services. When we first came to this cafe, just from the outside makes you want to come and see what's inside. They have an old Ford truck that's part of the decor outside that's always done up for some celebration of life and it's moments. Come and see what you see ! The food is truly amazing. After eating here it's time to be done . What I mean is the food is so delicious and comforting it's time for bed. Spend the day in Boulder and end it here. Wow !

It is spacious and nice. A vast menu accommodating breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. There is a bar as well. Service was good but either forgetful or slow (due to other waitressing duties). We wound up having to get our own high chair and crayons for the child. The food was good but typical diner food. The parking is challenging and we had to park about a block away in front of someones house in a residential neighborhood. read more

Some menu changes since my last visit. No creamy cucumber salad. The large-tasty servings, bar drinks, bakery, in & outdoor seating and their friendly servers has not changed. Soft drinks and iced tea served in HUGE Ball jars. A dependable stop from breakfast to evening. Lots of parking on the side street and their private parking lot. Lots of fun decorations and animated persons surround their property. read more

When in Boulder City there's two places to try and this is definitely one of them. They do a lot of scratch based cooking and baking which really makes them stand out IMO. We ordered the corned beef hash and a corned beef Ruben, both of them were delicious. The portions were a nice size. The service was attentive. We liked eating alfresco. read more

Hey Yelpers! Came in here again because this is one of the best breakfast spots in Boulder City. The service is always great, the ambiance homey, and the food delicious.

We will be back. Come check them out!!! read more

Staying in the area and stopped by for lunch. They serve breakfast all day, which hubby ordered. Biscuits

We're local and have been here several times over the last few years. Food is usually good and service not bad. Except we had the same experience as someone a month ago with their pricing. We went during happy hour and ordered several appetizers, which were supposed to be $2 off. They bring the bill with everything full price. Plus, the full charges didn't match the menu. I asked the waitress and she's like "Yes! I was just telling the manager that you didn't get charged the happy hour price, the computers were just updated incorrectly". Brings back a new bill with $2 off the wrong prices. I point out the new error to her, she says "Yeah, the owner updated the computer but didn't get new menus yet". Like I'm supposed to just except their false advertising? Obviously they didn't just update the computer since someone had the same issue a month ago. So bottom line, check your receipts. Or better yet, try a more honest restaurant in town. The servers should be better trained on how to address these issues. It just comes across as shady business trying to wring a few extra dollars out of people who may not check their bill. Only reason for 2 stars is the server was nice and attentive, even though she was clueless about how to handle a simple customer service issue. read more

While most head down the street to a cafe featured in Triple D, they really should forgo the crowds and give this little cafe a more than a passing glance! Our server was amazing and the green Chile relleno pie was delicious. I had sourdough toast and my husband had the banana bread with our meals as well. Baked items are freshly baked and for sale if you want to take some on the go. I am looking forward to my next visit so I can try some of their homemade pie. Make this your breakfast or brunch spot after a day hike at Lake Mead or visit to Hoover Dam. Highly recommend! read more

This is a cute diner facing the main drag in Boulder City. It has a cute bakery attached with home made goodies, pies, cakes and such. Yum! Coffee comes all cozy in a little terra cotta cup. When weather allows the seating on the patio is so nice. We brought friends with us this time and we sat inside. Our waitress is friendly and knows the menu well. She took great care of us. We tried all the things and we just love the food and the vibe here. We recommend and will be back. read more

Southwest Diner is located on the corner of Fifth and Nevada Hwy. it is easy to locate and access. Limited street parking is available as well as a small private lot behind the establishment. There is patio dining available where pets are welcome. Inside has two different decors; the original side is quaint with a small town kind of feel, whereas the new (remodeled?) side is more modern and streamlined. Servers greeted us warmly upon arrival. While our party was dining, I noticed that the waitstaff greeted a handful of regulars by name. Clearly, Southwest Diner is loved by the locals!! We had a rather large party of adults and a handful of small children, but Marisol took care of us with a smile and with efficiency. The food was served in generous portions and was prepared with love and care. It's typical diner fare, nothing that we ordered was gourmet, but it was definitely familiar, hearty, comfort food. The quality and portions of the food AND the friendliness and efficiency of the servers will have me stopping by again next time I'm in town. read more

This restaurant is located in Boulder City. The staff was very nice and sat us almost immediately. I had a cheeseburger and Sweet Potato Fries. The reason I just had a cheeseburger is because they didn't have the steak for the Fajita Salad or anything else made with steak or chicken. We were told that a large party had been in earlier and they used up all the steak and chicken. I definitely understood, It happens. Anyway, my cheeseburger was very good and Sweet Potato Fries as well. Great ambience. They have pies for sale and some Nik Naks. Sweet cute place. It can get crowded but today it was very quiet. We were there on a Monday so not really a lot of people in town. I give it 4 out of 5 stars because service counts a lot for me and our waitress was great. Hope you can make it to Boulder City and try this place. Very nice. read more

I tried the tuna sandwich at Southwest Diner and it was surprisingly one of the highlights of the meal. The tuna was well-seasoned, and perfectly balanced, not overly mayo-heavy like many places. The bread was nicely toasted and held everything together without getting soggy, and the fresh toppings added a great crunch and brightness. It felt like a simple classic done really well. Portions were generous, service was friendly, and the overall quality matched the diner's reputation. read more

It had been a few years since we last visited Southwest Diner, so we figured it was time to see what's new. The place has had a bit of a facelift -- expanded seating (good for them!) -- but it still has the quirky charm we always liked. Those giant canning jars they use for drinks? Instant nostalgia. My grandmother used to use jars just like that, though hers never held Coke on ice. For lunch, I went adventurous and ordered the shrimp tacos with beans and rice. Flavor? Excellent. Quantity? Let's just say I felt like I was wrestling my lunch instead of eating it. I'm all for getting my money's worth, but when a taco requires a spoon, knife, and a strategy session to conquer, it loses a bit of its taco-ness. Maybe keep the guacamole and some of the lettuce on the side so I can pretend I'm eating a handheld meal instead of deconstructing it with utensils. Just a thought. My wife, the wise one, ordered a cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. No complaints there -- she loved it. I tried a fry (and a bite of the burger, purely for research, of course) and both were spot-on delicious. Portions? Huge. If you're a "light lunch" type, maybe bring a friend to share. Service was stellar. Our waitress Susie hit that sweet spot of attentive without hovering. The bill for the two of us came to $45.08 before tip, which I found completely reasonable for the amount (and size) of food we got. Bottom line: We'll be back -- in fact, we're planning to stop in again when we're in Boulder City next week. Just don't expect me to order another taco I need power tools to finish. Everything else? Bring it on. read more

I will get to the point, WOW, this was a great dinning experience. I have driven past this restaurant for years and never thought to try it out, and now I am sorry for all the years I missed out. The food was excellent and the service also top notch. Our server was Kara and she was very patient as I asked alot of questions, She did all the right things and everything was perfect. I highly recommend this diner. Ask for Kara! read more

Well M and I are on a short adventure...Boulder City NV. Okay, lunch, late lunch, I'll skip the why...So after rolling over a curb after whippin' an illegal u-turn I found the place to park. We walked in the other door they didn't want us to use but they seated us anyways. We walked past several umbrella covered tables, I thought it was too windy to sit out there. The patio looked like a good place to sit and dog friendly. The dining area is well suited for a very busy place, large groups or couple's would be welcomed. M ordered a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich on a thick sourdough bread, side of made fresh broccoli salad. I had no problem ordering a chicken breast club sandwich with a side of the sweet potato fries These were the best Sweet potatoes fries I had since they were invented, really. We also shared a side salad, which was mixed green leaves with grape tomatoes, no croutons please. Wow was the word when the food arrived and PDQ too. A very good meal, outstanding No disappointment here. They make in house pies and I hear a couple of them are calling us over to that display case. So M decided for us (after some deliberation) a slice of coconut cream pie to share and a peach pie to take home. Next ya know our server appeared with two slices of CC pie...ah...we took both pieces of pies. Our server later returned with a to go container and said here's your peach raspberry pie ...ah...we wanted a whole pie, that was remedied and we were out the door. Our slice of breakfast pie was wonderful. We had a fun and lovely experience here today. This our stop now included in our visits to the Veterans Park. Thanks! foodguy-Martin read more

Popped in on a drive through Boulder City. What a cute diner with a southwestern flatulence menu. Service was great, water in giant ball jars was amazing since we were dying of thirst lol and the food was fresh and flavorful. My one regret was not trying the lie but in my defense I was too full lol. Prices were not inexpensive and they do that "thing" where they bang you 3% for using a credit card. All in all it a solid diner. read more

First time here - excellent food and service. Loved the laid back ambience! Breakfast was very good and the banana bread rocked!

This is the real deal! Real coffee, real food! Original huevos ranchos, like they are supposed to be! Actual sun tea, not instant. We've eaten here 3 times and everything is home cooked! I've give them 6 starts if I could. Highly recommend!!! And the staff is just as amazing!!! read more

If I could give this place zero stars, it would have it. My family walked in and there were maybe 3 tables in the whole place that were in use. SIX employees walked by us completely ignoring us. We waited 10 minutes before I angrily walked out, still without a word from staff. I genuinely don't think these employees care at all if anyone eats there. Sad for the owners. I will never come back. read more

The other popular diner down the street was too busy and had a long wait so we came here. This restaurant was busy too but we were lucky and got seated immediately inside. The interior was decorated with a Xmas tree and near the restroom there was a fireman's display. The waitress came by with our iced water and we ordered a veggie omelet, potatoes, sourdough bread, and a side of pancakes. Just as a warning the plates are big and so are the pancakes this was more than enough food for the both of us. The service was great, the food came out fast, and it was delicious. We left very happy. read more

Southwest Diner - Saturday busy breakfast DEC2024 - Diners Near Me - Boulder City, Nevada

I was passing through BC, and decided to stop and get a sandwich from Southwest diner. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich no bun just lettuce and everything else.(described on their menu as a grilled chicken breast with cheese, tomato and lettuce) The host proceeded to tell me they would have to charge me more for no bun. Okay whatever, the cost of lettuce must be up. I wait around for my to go orders and when i got it was a chicken Caesar wrap with a tortilla. I went back inside and double checked with a different hostess that they did indeed to lettuce wrap instead of buns and she confirmed. She even apologized and took the food in the back. They must have just dumped the chicken wrap contents into the container and gave it back to me. Honestly, 22$ for some chopped up chicken and 2 pieces of lettuce? I feel ripped off and the employees could have either communicated they don't do that or just did what I asked for. I won't be coming back and I cannot recommend any place that would charge that much for so little read more

We had dinner at Southwest Diner on a Thursday night, and it was surprisingly quiet with no crowd. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. The menu is very broad--offering everything from burgers and meatloaf to Mexican dishes--so it doesn't really feel like they specialize in anything. The food itself was average--nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. We were also charged an extra fee for cheese on the cheeseburgers (just 30 cents), which seemed odd, but it wasn't worth making an issue over. Overall, it's a decent spot with good service, but the food is pretty basic. read more
