    The Dillinger Boulder City, NV October 2025
    Jules P.

    The Dillinger in Boulder City, NV was excellent. We both got burgers and both were excellent! The staff was friendly, helpful, and checked on us often - not at all overbearing, they were the perfect amount of attentive. It was like they had a sixth sense, their timing was always spot on! The outdoor seating was great and there were leash hooks. I highly recommend this place - especially if you like burgers as much as I do!

    I've learned that when the place is amazing, I take 0-1 picture only because I'm enjoying every moment. That is the case for this place. Amazing staff, super rad decor, and awesome food! Plus great drinks, so we were all very happy. Everything was delicious but the highlights were - 'picklebacks' (the bartender will know lol), the smash burger, the gangster fries, the prime rib melt (5 stars), and the dillinger burger of course. Oh and the clam chowder! No one was unhappy with their orders and the staff were so nice and attentive despite being pretty busy. We'll definitely come back if we're in town again.

    My goodness, what a treat this was! The food was delicious and served so quickly. We had the Chicken fingers and Chicken wings, both with fries! Absolutely loved it. The service was great, fast and friendly. The interior was really cool!

    I finally made it to The Dillinger! Located in Downtown Boulder City this tiny spot has amble seating with a friendly staff. I ordered The Dillinger- minus the cheddar piled with applewood smoked bacon & bbq'd beef brisket. This is a Damn good burger! Hubs ordered the Pancho Villa burger - piled high with grilled Onions & Jalapeños including Habanero Jack Cheese & Jalapeño bacon- delish! For sides we choose fries & onion rings - both good. Full bar.

    Came up with my husband and daughter for a quick work trip and of course had to wander around adorable Boulder City. We were starving and heard The Dillinger was a "must try" and now I see why. It's a quaint little pub style restaurant with a vast menu. My husband and I wanted to try everything! I could not believe the options. I ended up with the baby face Nelson burger with a side of their creamy chicken veggie soup. The burger was to die for! The mix of the melted Brie cheese with the fig was just *chefs kiss* I devoured it. To wash it down had to try a Nevada brewed beer and went for the Able Baker mango he'd draft. So tasty and flavorful. My husband went with an original smash burger, and my daughter did the grilled cheese with fries. All were great. Service was fairly quick and they were very attentive. Definitely would come back if in town.

    Intro: On our way back to Phoenix from Vegas, we made a pit stop in Boulder City to grab lunch at The Dillinger. My friend recommended the spot and when I heard the name, it was all I needed to know. I'm a big fan of mafia/gangster movies. If The Dillinger doesn't ring a bell, it's time to do some research. Service (N/A): We got takeout so we only interacted with the staff briefly. They were quick and efficient in taking care of the bill and the food was ready when promised. No complaints. Ambiance (4.5/5): For a gangster-themed bar and restaurant, I had a certain perception in my mind of what it would look like. And I was on target. Some mafia-related pictures adorn the walls, wooden booths, and a small bar. Cool spot. Drinks (N/A): We got takeout so no drinks on this visit but they do have my favorite beer here, Delirium Tremens. Not a lot of places have it so two thumbs way up. Food (5/5): I love a good burger and The Dillinger specializes in burgers. I went with The Dillinger because hey, how can you say no to the name of the restaurant? Especially when you hear that it's a burger batty with brisket, bacon, and all of the fixings. This is a good size burger y'all that oozes with those good meat juices and sauce. The bacon is crisp. The bread fluffy. Everything comes together for an A+ burger. The fries were also great. Crisp. And a large portion. A better lunch than this would be hard to find for me. Overall: If I was living in Boulder City, I would be a regular here. We found free parking right across from the restaurant. If you're looking for a delicious lunch in a casual environment and you want to down a couple of brews, check out The Dillinger.

    a closer look at Baby Face Nelson

    The exceptionally fine weather spurred a trip into Boulder City for antiquing, art, big horn sheep watching, and admiring over-the-top Christmas decorations. But first, lunch at The Dillinger. Baby Face Nelson ($17.50): Hefty; the menu does boast of 1/2lbs patties. Meat doneness wavered between medium-rare (my request) and medium (restaurant default). Pretty juicy anyway. Toasted buns held together. The brie block was at a perfect melt consistency. I'd rather the arugula had fewer stems. Came with a tomato slice, lettuce leaf, and white onions on the side. Sweet Potato Fries ($2): An upcharge substitute for the standard included choice of fries/slaw/soup. Decent enough amount on the plate, most were crispy, a few softer, but all with fluffy interior, very tasty. Wasatch Brewery Apricot Hefeweizen ($7): Can, served cold with tab helpfully popped, plus a chilled glass. Value: Debatable. Prices seem high, but the burger at least was substantial. Atmosphere: Bank facade, bootlegger bar, tourist attraction. Tables were filled with used shells. Old-timey photos alongside colorful brewery posters on the walls. Music though was from the bygone classic era of MTV. Service: Super friendly and attentive from Adrai and Jacob. etc There was a 4% additional fee for credit card payment. I paid in cash.

    Okay this local dive bar is pretty cool. Good selection of cold brews. Great Gangster Theme going. Good service. Outdoor seating available. The food was good, Eggrolls should have been hotter, just warm inside. But overall we would come back to try a Burger.

    This was asked four years ago, so wondering if changed. Do they take reservations? Above on the Yelp page it says yes.

    Not that i am aware of, i just walk in.

    Is it recommended or do they take reservations for a Saturday night?

    They do not accept reservations at all. This is a very small place with limited space for eating and drinking.

They have nice crispy edges and pack loads of flavor. 5/5 Service Crispy Boi is essentially a food truck, so you just order at the window. It's pretty popular, so food can take a longer amount of time depending on orders. Staff are always friendly though. 5/5 Ambiance The ambiance is based on the ambiance of Beer Zombies, which has a nice outdoor area and little pond. There are multiple tables, which are regularly full. 5/5 Crispy Boi is a hidden gem of southern Nevada. The burgers are reasonably priced and pair well with the beers.

Today, for example, ordering breakfast potatoes, they were not greasy, nor overly seasoned and not overly crispy as they can be at other places when they sit there all morning.... These are crispy but still soft inside. Service is amazing. All severs have a wonderful way to be welcoming and truly menu experts. Jamie is the main person here that has her passion on greeting you , menu items, checking on your steak and giving a warm hug thanking you for returning. Now that I find how community focused they are for Boulder City, I'm more aware that is why us locals have been returning. Love your town - we will love you back! Now, you may be thinking what does the historic hotel have to do with Hawaiian food ? Well, please do your history deep dive. This colonial style built building matches this culture and food perfectly even here in the desert. Try this lovely hospitable place for the food and friendliness's and tell your friends - you will be a hero. Oh , try the macaroni salad. French toast, steak and eggs, burgers, ans pineapple upside down cake. With a Bloody Mary - hands down - your new favorite place!

A+ here The chips that came with my fish and chips were excellent. Was told there home made. Tasty and crispy. Well seasoned The creme brulee, which were also homemade, was very smooth with perfect consistency. The crust was thick. I didn't mind because I have a sweet tooth and enjoy crunchy texture. That said, I think for most people it would direct from the overall experience. The not so great: my fish in the fish and chips. The fish itself was good quality, but I didn't think it was seasoned at all and the batter was thick. Unfortunatelly disappointing. To be fair. my family enjoyed their chicken burger and pulled pork. I'll round up to 4 stars

Wait Time: Between all three visits, there was an average wait time of 20-30 minutes. When we arrived to the window to pay on our first visit, we were told to take a lap around the drive-thru and that our order would be ready upon our return. It turned out we arrived to the window and waited about 20 minutes before we received our order. Order: With the wait time in mind, please remember that Rome wasn't built in a day--so don't expect a quality meal to be ready within five minutes. With that being said, we ordered the 1). double cheeseburger with fries, 2). crispy chicken sandwich with fries, 3). fish and chips, 4). chicken tenders, 5). a strawberry shake, and 6). a chocolate shake between our three visits. The quality across all three visits was consistent and detailed here: 1). The Double Cheeseburger was cooked to our doneness preference. The bun was toasted with light butter and a slight crunch to the bite. The patties were juicy and well-seasoned. The cheese was evenly melted on the patties. The condiments did not overpower the patties' flavor. The toppings were the standard lettuce, tomato, and onions--which worked harmoniously with the rest of the burger, making for one of the best burgers I have ever had. Upon first glance, it meets my expectations of what a burger should be. 2). Much like the Double Cheeseburger, the Crispy Chicken Sandwich was of excellent quality. All of its components worked collectively to deliver in flavor and texture, including the toasted bun with the slight crunch. It was a perfect Crispy Chicken Sandwich. 3). The Fries were flavorful (fry seasoning, salt), crinkle cut, and evenly fried throughout (i.e. you did not have some hard pieces and some soggy pieces). We recommend a side of ranch for dipping. 4). The Fish and Chips were your standard Fish and Chips--and I mean that in the best way. They were fried until the classic golden and served with tartar sauce. Again, everything you would expect out of Fish and Chips. 5). While the Chicken Tenders were good, they were not outstanding. We would not order them again due to the other superior items on the menu. 6). The Strawberry Shake was flavored with fresh strawberries and like the Chicken Tenders, it was not outstanding. The Chocolate Shake was a classic Chocolate Shake. If you are craving a shake, then go for it. Otherwise, there isn't anything that would separate these shakes from another good quality shake. Both shakes leaned toward a thicker consistency. Note: The medium sized shakes are huge. If we ever get one again in the future, we will order a small instead. Service: We felt welcomed during each visit and did not feel rushed at the intercom (all three of our visits were through the drive-thru). Prior to visiting, we were unsure of what to expect with the mixed reviews and ultimately decided that we would just find out for ourselves. We are so grateful that we made the choice to try Chilly Jilly'z, because it is now one of our favorite spots in Southern Nevada. We definitely recommend that you give it a try!
