    Outside
    Sakol M.

    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

    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.

    Excellent BLT! $7.99

Called, and management was kind enough (even though booked up) to tell me to bring our other friend along, and they'd find a way to seat us!! Excellent customer service!! BRAVO!! Seated quickly. Place is quite dark and atmospheric. It's a traditional Old Vegas style location. Menu quite expansive. Lots of good choices. I decided on the French Onion Soup, the filet and the sprouts and swine!! My mates, had a caesar salad (to share) and a filet and strip. Drinks were also nice, a good variety of interesting cocktails. Meal, arrived, all delicious, the onion soup was very beefy with a wonderful taste and the melted cheese, lovely. The filet, done perfectly. They also had a number of sauces you could add, I went with their spicy sauce, and WOW, it was spicy, not unpleasantly so, but def spicy but with a delicious flavor. It truly enhanced the steak!! I'd def get it again. The sprouts and swine (sprinkled with cheese) as a side was also wonderful but so filing, I couldn't finish it all. But def wanted to. Very happy with the meal and our server was excellent as well. He was attentive, but not obtrusive. My mates also enjoyed their meals, it was stellar all around. And this may be the BEST thing here, during the weekdays, they have a Happy Hour dining menu, which means many items, including steaks are 1/2 off! So our filet which would have been $75 was only $38, that's a Vegas deal. And with that quality, it is something to rave about!! The location isn't too big, parking is difficult and reservations are required!! But I really had a great time, hanging out with my mates, and enjoying a superior meal away from the Strip!! I would absolutely return here. From there courtesy with the last minute change in our reservations, to the service at our table, and the delicious food, Herbs and Rye comes highly recommended. Come hungry. There's plenty to choose from. My best suggestion, don't drive there, take ride-share, it'd be a lot easier!! This is a wonderful break from the bustle and overpriced options on the Strip, and part of the old Vegas which is sorely missed. Def returning on my next visit. Thanks to all at H and R for a wonderful evening.

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.

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.

When I went to book for my husband's birthday I realized that it takes about 6 months to get a reservation, which was just in time to celebrate my birthday in September. Let me tell you, this was worth the 6-month wait to experience this dining. I even mentioned it to Kevin one of our dining team last night that I was hesitant with my expectations because of everything I heard and didn't want to be disappointed, but our service was amazing. The ambiance is very old-school Vegas. Music playing in the background, but a low rumble of people chatting while dining. Carlos was the lead of our dining team and was very kind & explained some of his favorites on the menu. Everything we had was delicious. Including my crispy Diet Coke with lime. But the star of the show was the NY Steak. Literal perfection. Melted like butter that I thought it was a different cut of steak. I typically don't add accoutrements to my steak (this steak did not need anything and was perfect as is) but we did order the prime butter and peppercorn sauce for fun. Both were amazing. We finished the meal with dessert, Bananas Foster (and they brought me a hazelnut bar cake for my birthday) which the table-side presentation of the Bananas Foster was a fun way to end the evening. We will be back and we were able to book our next reservation before leaving. Thank you to Carlos, Kevin, and the rest of our dining team for such an amazing dining experience.

The first floor of the restaurant was very cool! You could see the cuts of meat in the refrigerators and there is also a bar on the left of the entrance. There was a beautiful chandelier by the staircase as well. The upstairs dining area was very plain however. Bare walls, industrial type of standard light fixtures. The server recommended the skirt steak which we ordered MR. Also ordered the ribeye, portobello mushrooms fries and the steak tartare to start. I've never seen a steak tartare come out brown as it shows in the photo. I was so hungry, so I tried some, assuming the kitchen wouldn't send out bad raw meat. It tasted ok but the more I kept eating the weirder I felt about the color. We asked the manager if this was a common occurrence as my experience with steak tartare had never been this way. She said that it shouldn't come out brown and said she'd take it off the menu. She then later came back to explain that the lime juice that's in the marinade oxidizes the raw beef so that's why it's brown... which is an acceptable answer I suppose? It just felt weird bc I couldn't find any photos of browned steak tartare on google when looking up the restaurant menu. The steaks we ordered MR came out. The ribeye was cooked decently but the skirt steak was more on the rare side so we had to send it back for an oven heat up for 1 more minute. I enjoyed the skirt steak but it was too sweet to enjoy the whole thing. Cooking it in the oven for another minute made it even sweeter. It tasted like over sweetened Korean galbi in steak form. I'd say the portobello fries was my favorite dish and decided to take the rest to go to pick at in the hotel. After dinner we were given the dessert menu which didn't really call out to me, but since we told the server it was our anniversary, they gave us complimentary sorbet which was very nice. I liked the sorbet quite a lot but I was pretty full so didn't get to enjoy much of it. The gesture was kind though. At the end, the steak tartare was not taken off our receipt so we had to ask for that to be taken off since the manager told us she'd do that. The server gladly obliged. I want to say, that there was a female employee - maybe a busser, who worked really hard to be attentive with our waters and clearing our plates. I wish I got her name! I believe she was Latina with a ponytail if that helps at all working Saturday evening of Labor Day weekend at 6PM. All in all, the experience was not as great as my husband's first time at the Henderson location - he said the cuts were so much bigger before and the ambience of the Henderson location was more fine dining-esque. But the economy is tough lately so I figured the quality could've easily gone down. Because the price points were very reasonable, I thought it was up to par with what we paid. Probably won't go back unfortunately but it was great to try it out. The plaza it is in is called Trivoli(?) and I thought it was a cute spot with a lot of shops. Although everything was closed by 8, we walked around to digest a little and enjoyed the evening.
