    Tu Ka Khan...in the Paiute language, means "place to eat". This morning, I came to this place to eat buttermilk biscuits smothered in country gravy with a side of eggs, sunny side up. The egg came separate, but I like to put it on top and have the golden yolk drip all over the luscious gravy. For a truck stop place called Moapa Paiute Travel Plaza on the corner of I-15 and The Valley of Fire, on the way to Lake Mead... it's remote. When you drive in, the outside building has a Casino sign, and you have to drive around to the side. Around back, there's no signage. You have to enter the truck stop store to find the restaurant inside, among all the souvenir trinkets and food stop stuff. It's out of the way, but you shouldn't skip breakfast. So have a great day.

    I went here after working at a remote communications site in Moapa. The server was very friendly, the restaurant is clean and the Philly wrap was AMAZING. I will definitely be back.

    Last minute camping trip at Valley of Fire and we were too lazy to cook at camp so we drove here... the only food place in the area turned out to be not a bad choice! Such an extensive menu for just an eatery inside a gas station / convenient store / liquor store. We got a tuna melt, a burger, and their sampler platter. Tuna melt was delicious. The burger was okay and the sampler platter was okay. Service was great.

    I rarely give 5 stars and truly didnt expect much from a gas station/casino/gift shop meal but it was incredible from the moment i stepped in I was greeted by a friendly waitress who apparently loves her job, loves life and was a breathe of fresh air! The food... huge portions and so satisfying. The resturant is so incredibly clean too. I just have nothing bad to say about this place! Even the bathrooms are well done. (And they have a sharps container!) Well done

    Really awesome place Great prices. Rapid service Surprisingly not salty and not greasy. Long open hours and great for a meal while passing to and from the valley of fire.

    Excellent patty melt!

    My work requires that I'm in the area often, so I eat here regularly. The food ranges from OK to pretty good. Hey, it's a truck stop diner. What do you expect? However, today my granddaughter and I both got the patty melt. I'm glad she did because she verified my feelings about it: simply outstanding! We both agreed that it's just about perfect. Crispy, cheesy, gooey, seasoned just right. I can't think of a more perfect way to ruin all the hard work a hiker from the Valley of Fire puts in than this thing of beauty. Service is always good here, too.

    Don't be fooled that it's inside a Chevron , with gift shop, and Casino.

    Absolutely fantastic, I found this place is it in the Chevron, Casino Kama convenience store. My wife had the chicken alfredo pasta and I had the beef burrito that turned out to be steak. It was fantastic

    Excellent BLT! $7.99

    Great value food. $7.99 for BLT. With daily specials availability. Pasted picture of BLT...

    I thought this is a hole-in-a-wall restaurant which would add some taste for the day trip to Valley of Fire. My group stepped in this service station/market without much expectation for food as they don't really show any sign outside. Menu was nothing special. However, this nothing-special feeling and their "we serve food and customer don't leave hungry" attitude was favorable and somehow nostalgic. Each serving had plenty of food. Again, it is a great breakfast stop alongside of I-15. This place won't be a purposefully destination by itself, but it is a good to stop when driving I-15 with empty stomach.

    Its a small spot next to where you buy the fireworks. Their food are pretty basic, their beef stew is really good though.

    My bf lives in the apartment complex and has been curious about this restaurant. It's very roomy…read moreand spacious, seating is indoors and outdoors and they have a private party area. Food is made fresh to order so you will have to wait longer than usual which is good because you know it hasn't been sitting under a heat lamp. I definitely loved what we ate, but would probably skip the Triple Play. The spinach dip tasted a little different, I wish it had more cheese and I wish the salsa was the same size as the guacamole. The drinks were so yummy and the best thing was the Rigatoni Bolognese, so much flavor, so much meat sauce! They definitely were generous on the portion size which is rare and definitely worth what you're paying for. The Cobb salad was typical but it was so good, I loved how everything was nicely cut so I can eat it easily.

    Such a random stop right outside of Vegas. My best friend and I were headed to San Bernardino…read moreleaving Vegas the other week, and when we saw there was only fast food places that lied ahead, we quickly took this exit to check this place out... and what a hidden gem it was. Almost thought we were in the wrong place because it's nestled behind this resort-style, luxury apartment complex--just follow the signs. Ni was our server and everyone was seated at the bar. Such a fun group of people and communal atmosphere. Not to mention that the wings were some of the biggest I've ever had. Just 6 wings would've been a whole meal, but I ended getting the arugula salad with chicken, too (not pictured). They are not shy on the portion sizes based on what else I saw of everyone else's plates.

    We went to The Front Yard to use the Facebook Messenger BOGO Burger/Sandwich offer (there are other…read moreoffers like Free Pork Belly Bites or Free Mega Cocktail). You have to sit at the bar to use this dine-in offer. We ordered: - Front Yard Burger (bacon, provolone, chipotle aioli) with onion rings (+$2 for onion rings) - Front Yard Smoke Sandwich with pulled pork with garlic fries Surprisingly, the food was delicious! The Burger was flavorful with the thick-cut bacon and provolone, and the pulled pork sandwich was wonderfully smoky with a beautiful balanced coleslaw and pickled onion. The garlic fries were subtly garlicky and freshly fried in butter. Really happy to have come for the BOGO, and will eat here if we are ever in Ellis Island to gamble!

    The one star for this place was our server, Sil. He was on top of things and very nice…read more Everything else: 1. We've been to the Front Yard before, and have had a rather poor experience, both with service and food quality. We decided to give the place a 2nd (3rd?) chance. 2. The main attraction for this brunch was the "build your own" Mother's Day bouqet bar that was advertised on the website. I will give them this: it did say "while supplies last", but we arrived less than two hours (between 12:45 and 12:50 for an 11am-3pm timeframe) after the brunch started and the flowers were already gone. 3. When my sausage platter came out it was cold. Our server took it back and kitchen just re-fired it, making it hot, but way overcooked. 4. My daughter's chicken breast was also WAY overcooked (pic below). 5. My wife's burger was like shoe leather. Mimosas were plentiful and regularly refilled. Due solely to Sil being on top of things. I spoke with the manager (Randy?) about our experience. Kindly, he sent over two desserts, but nothing was taken off the bill, making this EXTREMEMLY sub-par food experience well over $200. We will not be back.
